the) Harrogate visitors. Her husband had eaten no
solid food for three days. The quarrel began with her.
The prisoners had earned three shillings, and she only
gave them two, when the father came in and struck
Sarh on the side of the head, saying he would let her
know who was master there. Ile then went up stairs
to turn their boxes out of the house. They had gone
up. Ile was in a great passion, and she went to the
door, pretending for a policeman. On her return she
found Abigail holding up her father on the landing.
She said, "I want you, mother, my father has tumbled
down stairs and killed himself."
Mr. Parry, a surgeon, said he examined the body;
it was quite healthy. There was a slight bruise on
the head. The stomach was empty. He attribute
death to the shock of the nervous system, from strugglde
and fall.
By the JUDGE—If he had been thrown down stairs
with any force, or had fallen down headlong, there must
have been greater bruises.
Mr. J. PoLLocK addressed the jury for the prisoners.
The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury almost
immediately Acquitted the prisoners, and they were
discharged.

Jefferson. a blacksmith, who had obtained the cognomen
of Wet Tyler, being charged with drilling. There had
b9en a meeting also of the well disposed. The following
is Mr. Pollard's, a magistrate's, account:—Bradford was
in a very excited state, and had been for three months.
On the afternoon of the 29th he went out with a large
body of police and specials, and soldiers. Before they
had proceeded far they met a large concourse of people;
stones were thrown, the specials were driven back, and
the military were brought forward. They had three or
four troops of horse, and four or five companies of infan-
try in Bradford. The police had cutlasaas; there were
about 60 of them, and 600 specials.
Other witnesses were called to prgie the part each
took in the affray. Many stones *ere thrown, and
truncheons used, but no very serious results. One of
the prisoners, Sugar, had a dagger, and on his way to
prison he said that he had intended stabbing it into the
guts of a policeman or a special.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A young woman named Eliza Ashton, was again
brought-up on the charge of obtaining money under false
pretences from Mr. Chubb, of St. Paul's-church-yard.
Mr. Chubb stated that the prisoner called on him, and
said that she had been recommended to do so by a Mr.
Nicholson, residing in Upper-street, Islington, whom he
knew. She represented that her father was in great
distress, in consequence of an execution having been put
in by the landlord, and all that her parent wished was
half-a-crown to make up the amount necessary to have
the distress taken out of the house. Having some sus-
picion, he gave her half-a-crown, but sent one of his
clerks with her to the place where she said her father
resided, to ascertain the truth of her story, but on her
way she altered her plan, and told that individual that
she lived at another part of London, and having led him
a dance, he eventually gave her into custody. Mr. Ni-
cholson had been sent to, and he denied all knowledge
of her.

Mr. George Mackie, of the City-road, said that she
applied to him under another name, and with a similar
story. She said she lived with her father in Pleasant-
row, Old-street, but knowing there was no such place,
he told her he should make some inquiries before he gave
her anything- upon trust. She left, and since then had
obtained money from the Rev. Mr. Brookhouse, of Bru-
denell-place, Hoxton; Mrs. Roche, Herbert-street; Mr.
Stanton, coal-merchant, at the Wenloek- basin; and Mrs.
Wright, Bruns witla-place.
Mr. Nicholson said that the prisoner had obtained
money from various people in Hornsey-grove, and had
been imposing- on the public for the last two years. She
was generally.accompanied by a woman with sandy hair,
and they had obtained pounds i❑ this way.
The constable said he had made every inquiry, but
could obtain no information respecting the prisoner. All
the addresses she had given were false.
Alderman JOHNSON said he would take care of her for
some time, and sent her to prison for one month.
