POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
.314NSION-110USE.
Yesterday, Alexander Howell and Hannah Martin,
werk charged with having passed counterfeit four-
penny-pieces, and the latter was also charged with
having had in her possession thirty-three bad pieces
of the same kind.
George Scott and Webb, the City officers, bad ob-
served the prisoners, who were known to them, going
about the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street, and
judging what their object was, followed then,. The
man, after communicating with the woman, walked
into several shops, and, as the witnesses afterwards
ascertained, asked for some trifling article, and paid
for it with one of the base coin, of which the officers
obtained possession. In one tobacconist's shop the
male prisoner offered a counterfeit " fourpenny" in
payment of half an ounce of tobacco, but the young
woman behind the counter detected the imposition
and kept the base metal. The officers wbo had been
watching them grabbed the prisoners, and in the
hands of the woman Webb found a little bag in which
were deposited thirty-three counterfeit fourpenny
pieces, each neatly wrapped up in paper, to prevent
any injury from friction.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoners whether
they wished to say anything.—They both said No.
It was stated that the town swarms with bad four-
penny pieces.
Luckily the officers in the present instance had
watched so narrowly the movements of the prisoners
as to be able to complete three cases against them. i

LORD ITUNTINGTOWER AGAIN.--Yesterday a re-
spectably-dressed female appled to Mr. Elliott for his
advice and assistance, under the following circum-
stances :
The applicant said that months since Lord Ilun-
tingtower and a lady, whom he represented to be his
wife, took apartments in, and subsequently lodged at,
her house, as "My Lord " and "My Lady.' At
length they had some difference, when his Lordship
denied the lady's right to call him husband, but the
lady as positively asserted she had, and that she had
in her possession a letter to prove that she was the
wife of his Lordship according to the laws and cus-
toms in Scotland. His Lordship then left the lady,
but returned on Sunday, when the latter locked her-
self up in her room, for her personal protection as
well as the protection of the letters relative to the
alleged marriage which she had in her possession.
His Lordship, however, forced open the door, but in
doing so had smashed its pannels, and she (the ap-
plicant) wanted to know how she was to proceed to
obtain redress for the damage done to the door, and
also recover upwards of 201. due to her for lodgings.
Mr. Eismorr told her that he would grant her a
summons for the wilful damage done to the door;
but, as for the money due for lodging, that the ap-
plicant must sue for in the County Court.
The applicant said she would take out the summons,
though she was very doubtful whether his Lordship
could be served with it, as it was only on Sundays he
made his appearance in public.
ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Susan Thomas, a
prostitute, and William Pongo, a companion of hers,
were finally examined on a charge of robbing James
College of a watch, a bottle of rum, and a shirt-pin.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor,
who had been a beer-shop keeper, invited the pri-
soners, who had been old customers of his, home to
his house to have some supper. The male prisoner
and the prosecutor were left alone in the room, while
the female prisoner and Mrs. College went out for
something for supper, when the former made a violent
attack on the latter, and stole his watch. He also
stole a bottle of rum and a shirt pin, and the latter
article was found on the female prisoner.--Both were
sent for trial.
