POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREE7'.

Thomas Turner, a letter•earriereinployed in the Hex-
ton district, was charged with stealing a letter containuig
two 51. notes, and two 10/. notes, the property of the
Postmaster General.
Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, called wit-
nesses to prove that the letter was sent by Mr. Z'al, a
wine-merchant of Westbury, on Friday last, to Messrs.
Vickers and CO of Southwark, distillers, and the notes
in question were of the Devizes and Wiltshire hank.
Mr. Last, inspector of letter-carrie-rs, proved that the
letter would have, in the course of business, passed
through the prisoner's hands.
The 101. note was seen by a sub-sorter, on Monday
last, in the prisoner's lodgings, and it was subsequently
found in his eoat pocket.
Matthew Peake, a Yost-office constable, proved that he
found the 10/. note in question in the Post-office yard,
and having shown the prisoner a memorandum given to
him by the landlady of the Green Man public-house, on
Blamtheath, being an acknowledgment of a 101. note Ht
with her by a person giving the name of Jessop, he said
he lent it to a young man he did not know, and that was
his acknowledgment, in addition to which he said the
note was returned to him.
The prisoner was thee ordered to be remanded.
GUILDHALL.

A young boy, about twelve years of ag.-, named
Horatio Nelson. Branch, was charged, before Sir James
Duke, with stealing 41. from the office of the Church of
England Sunday Schools Institution, at No. 169, Fleet-
street.
The case having been established by evidence to the
satisfaction of the Court,
William Nelson Branch, the father of the prisoner,
said that, finding his son did not return home on Mon-
day night, he immediately instituted inquiries, and on
ruesday afternoon, about seven o'clock, he met with him
at Greenwich fair, and found upon his pA.son two sove-
reigns and a half in gold, 2s. 6d. in silver, and five pence
in coppers. Meeting a policeman he gave him into
custody. When questioned, his son said that he slept
under one of the booths on Monday night.
Sir JAMES DUKE said that it was lamentable to see so
young a person commence such a career, whieh might
ultimately end in his being sent to Newgate; if nothing
worse happened.
The father said that his son had always had the best
example set him to pursue an honest course of life, and
he could not account for his conduct on the present oc-
casion.

Sir JAMES DUKE and Alderman Fortis having con-
sulted together, the former said that they had made up
their minds to send the boy to prison for tourteen
days, but to be kept separate, and be once well whipped.
At the expiration of his imprisonment they would then
see what eou!d be done to sive him.
A labourer, named John Larch, whose head was
wrapped round with a cloth, and the whole of whose per-
son was covered with blood, was charged with violently
assaulting both his wife and son.
:lir JAMES DUKE asked the prisoner what he had to
say for himself. He was, however, so drunk that he ap-
peared not to understand what was going on, in conse-
quence of which Sir James Duke remanded him.
WORSHIP- ST.R EET'.

A respectably-dressed man, named Henry Reid
Griffiths, described as an artist, was charged before Mr.
Arnold with causing a mob to assemble, and using ♦ie-
lent and seditious language, calculated to promote a
breach of the peace.
In answer to the charge, the defendant earnestly
disclaimed being actuated by any intention to promote
disorder, or that he was in any way connected with the
Chartist fraternity, and that he must candidly admit he
had been indulging to such an extent that he had no re-
collection of anything that had occurred.
The detendart called three witnesses, who had known
him intimately for several years. and proved that he had
never at all meddled in political matters, and that his
previous conduct had always been marked with the
strictest decorum and propriety.
Mr. ARNOLD said that if the language the prisoner
was proved to have addressed to the crowd had been
used in a less respectable neighbourhood, there was
every probability that it would have been productive
of the most serious danger to the public peace, and
but for the favourable testimony that had been
offered as to his previous character he should have
committed him at once to prison without the imposi-
tion of any pecuniary penalty ; but, under the cir-
cumstances, he should order him to pay a fine of 505.,
or, in default, be committed for fourteen days, for
resisting the police, and further require him to enter
into his own recognizance in 60/., and find two sure-
ties in 401. each, to keep the peace for the next three
months.
The bail and penalty were immediately produced, and
the defendant liberated.
WESTMINSTER.

John Welch and Daniel Keefe, two powerful Irish
labourers, who had been remanded from the previous
clay, were brought up for re-examination, charged with
the following desperate and murderous attack upon
Edward Ward, a poor man, living in Exeter-buildings,
Chelsea.

Tne circumstances of the case are briefly these:—On
the previous morning James Page, 147 B, was called
upon to disperse a number of persons assembled oppo-
site the Globe public-house, Chelsea. He observed de-
fendants and two other men standing outside the door,
apparently waiting for some person, and in a moment
afterwards, upon Ward coming out, the whole four men
attacked him with great fury, struck him violently about
the head and body, and having knocked him down,
kicked him in the most brutal manner. The constable
Unmediated seized Welch, when he saw the other defen•
dant throw a very large stone at Ward, which struck
hire on the side of the head, and the stone fell on the
ground covered with blood, from the wound it had in-
flicted. Ward, who was not only bleeding profusely
from this wound, but from another by the side of the
mouth, and whose face was much contused and swollen,
besides other injuries about the body, was immediately
conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where the surgeons
pronounced the injuries of so serious a nature, that it
was necessary he should remain there in order to receive
proper attention. Keefe made his escape after the
attack upon the poor man, but was subsequently appre-
hended.

The following certificate was put in:—
" This is to certify that E lward Ward is an in-
patient, afflicted with a wound on the head. He will
not be free from danger from two or three weeks,
although at present progressing favourably. C. W.
PEYTON. House-surgeon."
Defendants said they were in the public-house, all
striking one another. Keefe said that stones Irid been
thrown at him, but denied that he ever-struck Ward, or
threw a stone at him.
The defendants were remanded for a week.
Thomas Pevor, a boy apparently not more than fifteen
ti ears of age, was charged with violating the person of
Ellen. Wynn, an intelligent child, between seven and
eight.years of age, who resided with her aunt, in the
same house as the accused.
The particulars are totally unfit for publication.
Mr. BRODERIP committed the prisoner to take his
trial at the Central Criminal Court.
LAMBETH. •
Peter Carlton, a servant in the family of Major Turner,
of the Clapham-road, was placed at the bar upon the
following singular charge of bigamy:—
From the testimony of the prisoner's second wife it
appeared that about twelve months ago the prisoner en-
tered the service of Major Turner, in whose family the
witness had lived for nearly eight years, and soon after
commenced paying his addresses to her as a single man.
The courtship went on until three months since, when
they got married unknown to tbeir master or mistress.
In reply to the questions from Mr. Games, who ap-
peared on behalf of the prisoner, the witness said she
had no fault whatever to find with the'prisoner, on the
contrary, he always treated her with the greatest affec-
tion and kindness, and it was by no means her wish to
prosecute or injure him.
It appeared, however, that the prisoner about eight
years since got married in Dublin to a woman who re-
presented herself as a widow, but who he subsequently
found was no widow, she having a former husband still
alive. He accordingly left her, but as he had three
children by her, he continued to remit money to her for
her maintenance. A few days since she found her way
to London, and gave the prisoner so much annoyance
that be procured her arrest, and it was on the way to the
station-house that she turned the tables on him by bring-
ing against him the charge of bigamy. The prisoner's
defence being that this woman could not have been his
wife, and that it was she. who really was guilty of bigamy.
She, on the other hand, stated that she had di,-covered
her own first husband to have a former wife still living,
and that her marriage with him was therefore invalid,
and her marriage with the prisoner legal.
The MAGISTRATE seemed sadly puzzled with the com-
plicated nature of the case. He should, however, remand
the prisoner to a future day, but would take bail for his
appearance. The required bail was at once put in, and
the prisoner, who bears the character of a steady man
and excellent servant, was liberated.
SOUTHWARK.
Mary Thompson, a married woman, was brought before
Mr.. Cottingham, charged with wounding James Lee
with a knife.

The complainant, who exhibited wounds of a serious
character in the face, hands, and on the wrist, stated that
he lived within a few doors of the prisoner, and that, on
the preceding day, having been informed that shi circu-
lated a report to his disadvantage, he went to her house
'n order to have an explanation, and she then tisaulterl
him, and, witty a knife, inflicted the wounds which he
exhibited.
. The prisoner gave a very different rersion of the trans-
action, saying that the complainant called at her houso
to abuse her, and that, when he found that she would not
admit him, he proceeded to the front parlour window,
which he smashed, and that it was in breaking the glass
that he wounded himself She declared that sho had
used no knife.
A surgeon, however, being of opinion that the wounds
were not inflicted in the way the woman would wish to
make it appear, but in the manner described by the com-
plainant, the Magistrate committed the prisoner for trial.

GREENWICH. -
Robert Parrott, a rou.-,,,h-lookin.!- fellow, described as a
ahourer, was charged with violently assaulting Nfr.
`lawkins, landlord of the R.td Lion, Deotford-road,
itotherhthe, and also with assaultin and abusing with
!,breatening language three police-offi'oers of the iM divi-
sion, while in the discharge of their duty.
Mr. Hawkins deposed chat the prisoner and about 20
other persons came to his house about eight o'clock on
Tuesday evening. They entered the tap-room together,
and in a few minutes a disturbali.ce of a very fearful
character ensued. The whole of the party were stripped
and fighting. Finding that he could not subdue such

disfy,raeetul proceedings, he sent itir the pollee, and in
the interval the prisoner's party broke many squares of
g-13ss. A sergeant and two men arrived, but they could
not enforce order, and in attempting to do so they were
severely beaten. In the struggle all escaped but the
prisoner, woo was taken t, the station-house.

Sergeant Hill, 16 M, deposed, that on reaching the
Red Lion he found at least twenty men stripped and
fighting. It was betweea eight and nine o'clock in the
evening. They were all fighting, and he ordered them
to desist. The fighting continued, and the prisoner
struck Mr. Hawkins, who was trying to get him out of
the house. The confusion and noise were so great that
hundreds of persons had assembled in front of the house.
Witness turned out ten persons. The prisoners and
others struck witness and his brother officers several
times. On the way !to the police-station the prisoner
was exceedingly violent, and with great difficulty was
secured. The prisoner said he had a knife in his pocket
with which he would rip up the guts of the -- police.
He was a Chartist, and would serve them as the woman
did the soldier in the park, and give them a ball or two.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he had no
recollection of the circumstances, as he was somewhat
elated that evening.
Mr. TRAlLL`saidnthe whole transaction was most dis-
graceful. The prisoner had assailed a respectable trades-
man in his own house, added to which, he had daringly
and most unlawfully attacked the officers in the proper
discharge of their duty.

Mr. Fiqwkins said he did not wish to press the charge
to 3 heavily against the prisoner.
Mr.TnAim. said he must enforce the law severely, and,
but for Mr. Hawkius's expressed wish, the punishment
would be greater.
The prisoner was then fined 405., or fourteen days' im-
prisonment.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER IN
BATTERSE A-FIELDS.
Yester afternoon Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner for East
Surrey, resumed the inquest upon the body of a gentle-
man unknown, who was found lying on the shore of the
river Thames, near the Albert Tavern, Battersea 'fields,
on the morning of Tuesday, the Bth instant, and who,
from a subsequent post mortem examination, was believed
to have been murdered.
Since the announcement of Dr. Wing that the deceased
had met his death by violent means, the most active in-
quiries have been set on foot by Mr. Bicknell, the super-
intendent of the V division, to ascertain who the deceased
was, but athough nearly fifty persons viewed the body
and clothing, it was not identified until within a very
brief period of the coroner renewing his inquiry, when
the unfortunate man was recognised by his relatives.
The evidence of the parties finding the body having
been read over,
Mr. Edwin Wing, the surgeon who had made the post
mortem examination, was sworn, and depoised that he
was a surgeon, and. resided at Oak House, Battersea.
He first saw the deceased on Tuesday, the 6th instant.
Ile was lying in the stables of this house. He appeared
to have been immersed in the water twelve or fourteen
hours. Witness perceived a wound above the anterior
angle of the left orbit, about half an inch in length, and
somewhat circular. It had penetrated to the bone. He
did not perceive ally other cut. There were marks of
violence visible on the forehead, nose, and back of each
hand, consisting of very considerable contusions and
echymosis of the entire forehead, with contusions and
a slight abrasion of the skin on the back of the
hands ; the nose was bruised. In removing the
scalp at the post mortem examination, marks of three
contusions were visible over the frontal bone, with
coagular blood, and a fracture of the bone where it
formed the anterior wall of the frontal sinus, correspond-
ing to the external wound, nearly circular in form,
and about the size of a sixpence ; a small splinter of
bone was found loose. On the opening of the skull
there was coagulated blood on thedura, water. When
the brain was removed, a circular fracture of the pos-
terior wall of the frontal. sinus presented itself, with a
bullet firmly impatied in it. About half the bullet pro-
jected-in the interior of the skull so as to press on the
membranes of the brain. The brain was not lacerated
and was perfectly healthy; the other portions of the body
were perfectly healthy. The cause of death was severe
concussion of the brain, resulting from the pistol shot,
in conjunction with the blows on the head, aided by loss
of blood. •Viesuming that the deceased shot himself, the
concussion would cause him to lose all control of himself,
and..a contusion might ensue, but it would not produce
the marks of three distinct blows. Witness considered,
from the presence of the echymosis, that these injuries
were inflicted during vitality. His head might have laid
lower than his body, and the blood might have flowed
from him without attaching to his clothes. Supposing
he was killed, the blood might have been wiped away as
they carried him to the river. He could come to no
other conclusion than that he had died a violent death.
Mrs.. Eliza Gosling, a widow lady residing at 68,
Grove-place, Brampton, identified the deceased as. her
son ; he was 23 years of age, and his name was Charles
James Gosling. He had formerly held an appointment
under Lord John Somerset, as a clerk in the recruiting
department, but he had done little or nothing the last
two years. He lived at 18, Queen-street, Golden-
square. Was married, and had two children. He lived
on very bad terms with his wife. He was very violent
at times, aid threatened to kill his wife. The firstinti-
tnation she had of the deceased being found was on the
previous evening ; the last time witness saw him alive
was on Monday week, as late as eleven o'clock at night.
lie had come to her two days previously, when he said
his wife had left him, and he was in search of her, and
that he had walked the streets all night atter her. He
produced a bottle of vitriol, and gave it to witness,
saying he had intended to use it against her person.
On Sunday the deceased wrote a great deal, and
n 31( Haley he went out for two or three hours,
and retuned with a small pistol, which he said was
loaded, and would do better for Maria (meaning his
wife) than paltry vitriol—with that he was sure to make
a good aim. He added that after he had taken her life
he would take his own; that he would go out to sea in
a boat, shoot himself, and then throw himself into the
water, for no coroner's jury should ever sit on his body.
Deceased left her house to go to his lodgings, and not
having heard anything of them, she imagined he had
gone to Wales, where his wife has some property, and
where he expected she was gone. She did nut think he
had an money or valuables on him when he left her
house. He was of very violent temper, but at times
very affectionate. He had ce ten said, if he committed
suicide he. should do it in the manner he had stated.
Witness had no doubt this was his own act.
Mr.• Thomas C. Smith, the landlord of the house, 18,
Queen-street, Golden-square, where deceased lodged,
gave evidence as to the quarrels that had taken place
between deceased and his wife, and on more than one
occasion he appeared decidedly deranged.
Mrs. Gosling, the wife of the deceased, was examined
briefly. She gave her evidence in an extraordinary col
lected manner, said she believed he was vexed with her,
and that.wm the cause of his destroying himself. He
had frequently exhibited symptoms of insanity, but she
had not thought it necessary to obtain advice.

The person alluded to is a young man named Ilaylock, of Ashdon,
