POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO IV-STREET.

Mns. BLEWITT AGAIN.—On Thursday morning Mary
Ann Biewitt, whose husband was shot by John Graham,
in Drury-lane, on Saturday, April 25, was brought be-
fore Mr. Jardine charged with being drunk and disor-
derly. and also with committing two assaults under the
following circumstances :
A young female, named Ellen Kilday, stated that.
about eight o'cleck on the previous evening she was
standing at her door with her mother, in White Hart
yard, Drury-lane, when the prisoner came up, and,
without the slightest provocation on their part, coin
menced abusing them. The landlord happened to
pass at the moment, and the prisoner, addressing him,
used a gross expression with regard to witness. Find-
ing that no notice was taken of her observation,
she went away, but, returning in a short time,
she renewed the abuse, making use of the foul,st
language, upon which witness desired her to go about
her business, as she did not wish to hold any conversa-
tion with a blackguard, when ale flew at her mother.
accusing her of having sent in papers to the magistrates
of this court to induce them not to allow a public sub-
scription to be raised for her, and assaulted her, but
there being no policeman in the way, she left, and in a
few minutes came back and committed an assault upon
witness. Her disorderly conduct created the greatest
confusion, and the house was obliged to be closed.
Constable 52 F division said, that on one occasion hi.
found the prisoner drunk, and on trying to get her away
she abused him very much. He then went his rounds,
and in ten minuti,s, having found her again creating a
disturbance at the door of her lodgings, be took her
into custody. On the way to the station she threw her-
self down, and caused a mob to assemble. She had been
twice previously at the station, but was discharged on
promising not to return to the same place, or cause any
further disturbance. _

Inspector Logan said, that when the prisoner was
hrww.ht to the station she was not only drunk but very
violent.

Lu answer to the charge, the prisoner said, that the
witness's mother threatened to give her a " leg up" with
the magistrate; and whenever she passed she cailed her
foul names, although she never offered her the slightest
offence. She was merely taking a bottle of ginger beer
in a shop, when Mrs. Kilday assaulted her, and tore the
bunch of hair produced from her head. She admitted
having been convicted and fined at this court about seven
nritiths back ft,r an assault, but that had nothing to du
with the present charge.
Mr. JARDINE asked the complainant if she was appre-
hensive that the prisoner was likely to repeat the
offence? The complainant replied that she had no
doubt of it, as she was constantly keeping the entire
neighbourhood in an uproar.
Mr. JARDINE said that she should be protected; and
ordered the prisoner to find two sureties in the sum of
101. each, to keep the peace for three months.
Bridget Sullivan, a decent looking Irishwoman, was
charged with presenting a forged cheque fur 151. at the
bank of Messrs. Cuutts and Co.

Mr. Bl..nkinsop, a clerk and cashier at Messrs. Coutts
and Co.'s, said that the prisoner came into the
office yesterday afternoon, and presented a cheque f-r
15L in the name of the Dowager Marchioness of Queens-
berry, whose signature he immediately perceived to be
a forgery. He asked the prisoner what she would have
for it, and she said "gold." He asked her if it was for
herself ? She said " No, it was fur a gentleman
who met her in the street, and gave it to her to get
cashed." He asked whether she knew him ? and she
said " No." He then asked her to step into an inner
• ffiee, and, on her doing so, detained her while he went
for a policeman.
James Godwin, porter at Messrs. Coutt's and Co.'s,
gave evidence corroborative of that of Mr. Blenkinsop,
and added that she gave him a minute description of the
person of the gentleman who had given her the note.
She said he was a tall, thin gentleman, with dark hair,
and dressed in black.
Policeman F 91 took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, being called on for her defence', said
that what she had said to the witnesses was perfectly
true. She had met the gentleman in the street, and
asked him which was the way to Whitechapel. lie said
" What are you going there for?" and she replied that her
husband lived there. He said he would show her the
way and she went with him till they came opposite to

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

James Sanderson' a very fashionably-dressed young
man, was charged with refusing to pay 2s. 10d. tor
oysters and accompaniments, which had been swallowed
by himself and a fair companion, at Harris's oyster rooms,
No. 23, Haymarket, and also with assaulting the waiter.
Wm. Cochrane, the waiter, said that between twelve
and one o'clock yesterday, the defendant, who was
accompanied by a female, came to his master's shop, and
discussed a quantity of oysters, &c., and imbibed various
potations of beer, ale, and gin and water (the liquors
they paid the party supplying them for), but were in
the act of leaving his master's shop without paying for the
edibles, amounting to 2s. ; he interfered to stop the pri-
soner, who seised him by the collar and swung him
violently round, and then struck him a violent blow in
the face, at the same time saying that he had already
paid, and if net it was only a debt, and dared him to
give him into custody ; he became at length so very
violent that lie was given into custody.
Mr. Harris, the proprietor of the oyster-rooms, cor-
roborated his waiter's statement as to the assa tilt.

Eliza Sims, the companion of the prisoner, and the
partaker of the spoil, said that he paid the person who
brought the ale, &c., 2s 10d. She knew that he irviti
for the oysters, but did not know what, as she was
asleep at the time.
The prisoner said he had paid the 2s. 101 to one of
the waiters.

Cochrane said there was no waiter but himself at that
part of the room.
The prisoner then said he had paid it to the person
who brought the ale, &c.
The waiter who brought in the liquors proved that
he was only paid Is. Id., in separate payments.
•I'he prisoner still insisted that he had paid the 2s. 10d.
Mr. tiArtnwicx, in indignant terms, characterised his
attempt of throwing the imputation of having received
the money upon a person who, it was proved, had never
received it. lie was perfectly satisfied, from the evi-
dence, that the 2,10 d. bad not been paid to any one.
fie should fine him 405., or twenty-one days' imprison •
meat, for the assault ; and he wished it to be made
ger•erally known to the horde of victimisers of this kind,
that in any future similar cases he should inflict the full
penalty of 51.—The fine was instantly paid.

Mr. BALLANTINE--There was evidence last week that
your husband was standing over you and beating your
head against the ground, and it was also stated that he
beat his daughter too.
Mrs. Stevens repeated that her husband never hurt
her at all.
Mr. BALLANTINE—HQ was caught in the act of ill-
using you, and now you come here to save him. Your
head was cut open, woman.
Mrs. Stevens—Yes, sir, I fell upon the fender; he did
not hurt the at all.
Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I don't believe you, but I
must discharge this man. Take care, Mr. Stevens. you
don't destroy this woman. This is not the first time you
have been committing a similar irregularity, and if you
do not mind what you are about, you will not only be
committed to prison, but lose your license. I believe
your conduct to this woman has been very bad indeed,
but as she declines to make any charge against you, I
cannot detain you any longer.
Mr. Robinson, the prisoner's solicitor, promised there
should be no further cause of complaint, and then alleged
that while Stevens was sitting in the kitchen on Wednes-
day night a police-constable entered and equared at him
arid challenged him to fight. The constable remained in
the house some time, and tried to induce Stevens to com-
mit a hre'leh of the police. He hoped the Magistrate
would not tolerate sus h conduct.
Mr. BALLANTINE—CertainIy not. I suppose the
charge will come before me in the regular way, and then
I will hear it.
Mr. Robinson said he intended to make a written
complaint to the inspector, and the Magistrate would
probably hear of the case again.
All the parties then proceeded to the office of Mr.
Macquard, the superintendent of the K division, when
Stevens said he had•no charge to make, and it appeared
the constable had not been guilty of . the conduct im-
puted to hirn.

REPORT FROM THE SELECT
COMMIT FEE ON PRINTING.

The Select Committee appointed to assist Mr. Sp,aker
in all matters which relate to the Printing executed
by order of this House, and for the purpose of Select-
ing and Arranging for Printing Returns and Papers
presented in pursuance of motions made by illetnbo-.~
of this House, which may be rererred to the said
Committee ; have considered the several matters re-
ferred to them, and have agreed to the following

report:—
in discharge of the duties entrusted to them by the
House, Mr. Speaker and the Printing Committee have
been etriesvouring, for some years past, to introduce
every practicable improvement in the form of printimr.
Accounts and Fapers, and in the arrarrments and
compression of their contents. The results which have
already been attained induce your Committee to hope
that, with the co-operation of the House, they may be
enabled still further to improve the character of Parlia-
mentary Papers, and to effect a considerable pecuniary
saving.
There are three matters deserving special attention in
any attempt to improve the s‘ stem of Parliamentary
statistics :-Ist. Care in framing orders for returns ;
2dly. The preparation of blank forms ; and 3dly. The
arrangement of the returns for printing. Each of these
points has been recommended to the notice 4.f the House
by committees in previous years ; and it may be desir-
able to state briefly the arrangements which have
already been propose--d and carried into effect in con-
nexion with these objects. -

In 1830, the Library Committee suggested, " That it
be recommended to all Members intending to move for
returns, in the first place to find out from the Librarian
whether the saute return, either in form or !übvitnee.
has not already been moved for and printed ; in which
case such order may be so shaped by the Members as
only tt embrace any new matter which may be requisite
for the infOrrnation of .the House." It had previou-ly
been by no means an uncommon practice for Members
either to move for papers which had already been
printed, or for information contained in documents
which were before the House under other titles. The
gradual adoption by Members, cf the advice of the
Library Committee has not only prevented many papers
from being moved for, but has introduced, more gene-
raily,•the pracice of ordering returns wt ich contain
the required information in an improved form. But
an,-.ther difficulty presented itself in the multiplication
of bulky documents which were returned to the House,
in compliance with its orders, ill-arranged, imperfect,
and often unintelligible. These were constunly ordered
to be printed, on tr.e motion of Members, without any
previous examination, and these defects were not dis-
covered until the expense of printing them had been
needlessly incurred. To obviate this evil, which was
universally acknowledged, the Select Committee on
Public Documents, in the Second Report in 1833,
offered the following suggestions :
The cost of printing might on many occasions be
altogether saved, if the papers moved for by Members
were placed in the Library, and an index made to afford
a facility of reference : as this matter is arranged at
present, it is difficult to refer to papers not printed, and
many bulky returns are printed at a considerable ex-
pense, which are nut consulted by more than three or
tour Members."

The Standing Committee on the Library immediately
to,ik the subject into consideration, and reported in
1834, " That by a recent arrangement, nil papers pre-
sented in pursuance of orders or of addros.es of the
pause are depo4ted;iir► the LibrAry (11.9. jig the current
sessioit,.in order' to facilitate access to such as are not at
once ordered to be printed. This regulation is particu-
larly offered to the attention of the House, as the ready
inspection afforded by this arrangement may frequently
either prevent the printing papers which do not convey
the information sought, or may present the opportunity
of abstracting from latuky returns all which may be ne-
cessary for the use of the House. This plan, it is hoped,
has already had some effect in diminishing the quantity
of printing."
The Printing Committee, in 1841, having had their
attention directed to the results of the plans which had
been suggested by former Committees, and carried out
under Mr. Speaker's superintendence ; and, considering
that further advantages might be obtained by repeating
former recommendations, and suggesting means for in-
creasing this efficiency, agreed to the following resolu-
tions :

" Ist. That every Member be recommended, before he
gives notice of a motion fora return, to consult the Li-
brarian of the House of Commons.

"2dly. That after the order for a return has been
made by the House, the Librarian do prepare, when ne-
eessary, a form, to be submitted to Mr. Speaker for his
approval ; and that such form shall be forwarded, with
the order, in the usual manner. _

"idly. That before any return which has been pre
rented to the House shall be ordered to be printed, it
shall be inspected by the Librarian, and approved by the
Sp esker.
" 4thly. That Mr. Speaker be requested to make such
arrangements as may be necessary for giving effect to
these res,lutions."

Your Committee have reason to believe, that consider-
able advantage has already been derived from the sug-
gestions contained in the first and second of these reso-
lutions ; but they are anxions to. impress upon Members
the expediency of availing themselves more generally of
the assistance which they may obtain in the library, in
framing the orders fur returns, and preparing suitable
forms to accompany them.
Mr. Speaker lost no time in carrying into effect, as far
as possible, the resolutions of the Committee of 1841. In
that year, however, he was unable to effect any material
improvement in the system of preparing accounts and
papers for printing ; but in succeeding years the ar-
rangements he has made have been very successful. *The
printing of numerous returns has been altogether pre-
vented ; and the information contained in many papers
has been arranged and abstracted in a most satisfactory
manner. Great care has been taken in preparing sum-
maries, and in many cases the summaries alone have been
printed.
The more immediate object of these arrangements has
been the improvement of the papers, and this object has
often been attained where a diminution of the expense of
printing was practicable ; but your Committee have much
satisfaction in reporting, that this system of printing ab-
stracts of papers, recommended: by the Library Com-
mittee in 1834, has caused a considerable public saving.
Mr. Speaker has laid before the Committee a return
which has been prepared by his directien, by Mr. Han-
sard, showing the expense of printing each abstract
which has been made, with an estimate of the expense
which would have been incurred by printing the return
in the form in which it had been presented to the House.
From this statement it appesrs tha: at the end of the
session of 1845, a saving had been effected of 7,1001. A
saving of this amount in little more than four years, and
produced in the printing of comparatively a small num-
ber of papers, lead your Committee to expect that in
future a very considerable reduction of expense may be
effected, by extending more generally the system of ab-
stracts to various classes of documents which they have
hitherto thought it necessary to print in extenso, and by
a more strict revision of all papers before they are ordered
to be printed.
Your Committee, therefore, earnestly recommend the
perusal of the resolutiOns of the Printing Committee of
1841, and call the attention of the House to the fact, that
whatever saving has been effected by abstracting the
papers hitherto printed. the greatest public economy. as
well as the most useful results, are to be expected from
the manner of moving for accounts and papers in future.
Your Committee further beg to remind the House,
that, in, order to effect a practical reformation of the
system of Parliamentary printing, the rule should be
strictly adhered to of giving notice of any paper about
to be moved for, in order that the House may have
ample time to consider whether the information is al-
ratty on the table, and whether the expenses of collect-
ing it are not so great as to. render it necessary for the
House to decline making their order for the production
of the papers ; and the House should, in extreme cases,
require from the Government their opinion as to the ex-
pediency of incurring the expense of procuring the in-
formation required. ,
Many papers are moved for during each session on
matters purely local ; and it is suggested that gnat dis-
cretion should be used in sanctioning the production of
such documents ; and that if ordered by, the House to
lie on the table, the rule should be strict!} adhered to of
leaving the manuscripts at all times open to inspection
in the library, and of re fusing to print them for general
eircula►,ion.

It is also proposed that accounts relating to the print-
ing executed for the House should be presented in each

session, *hich shall embrace, in detail, the expenses con.
nected•with every Bill, report of Committee, or account
and paper, as well as with the reports of Commissioners
awl other papers which-are printed under the itmtiediatp
superintendence of the Stationery-Office, in England,
Ireland or Scotland.

Your Committee, being entirely satisfied with the plan
hitherto pursued, have again requested Mr. Sp,?-ker to
make everyarrar,gement necessary for carrying out more
fully the views of the Committee, and though an addi-
tionel annual expenditure may be thereby incurred, it is
confidently expected that a saving will be ensured in the
printing, far greater than any which has yet been
effected.

MARKET NE WES- (YESTERDAY)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the
present week have been small, and we had a very limited
number of samples of that article here to-day; yet, owing to
the prevailing fine weather for harvest work in the north of
England, the demand was in a very sluggish state, at, in most
instances, a decline of is per quarter. In Foreign Wheat—
the holders of which evinced a disposition to give way in
price—next to nothing was doing. No new Barley at mar-
ket. Grinding Oats were quite as dear. In other kinds
next to nothing passing. Superfine Malt was in fair request,
at previous quotations; but other qualities commanded very
little attention. Although the arrivals of Foreign Oats were
large, the Oat trade was steady, at previous quotations.
Beans, Peas, and Flour without alteration.
