POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Sergeant Carr, F division, entered the court and in-
formed Mr. Henry, the sitting magistrate, that being on
duty in the Strand, about twelve o'clock on Thursday
night, he observed a young female of prepossessing ap-
pearance and genteel address, who was evidently a
stranger in town, wandering about the streets as if
anxious to get some place of shelter, and, being annoyed
by some loose women, she requested that he would pro-
tect her. She stated that she resided with her parents
at the Kirbred Collieries, near York, but about a week
back having left home with her brother for Birmingham,
they remained there until Thursday last, when they
arrived at the terminus in Euston-square, at five o'clock
in the afternoon, at which time her brother was some-
what affected with drink. They then took a cab and
drove to a coffee-shop in Great Russell-street, Blooms.
bury, where, having taken some refreshment, they left a
travelling bag and other articles, and proceeded to the
Adelphi Theatre, which they left about eleven o'clock,
and on getting into the street her brother called a cab,
into which he got, telling her to return to the coffee-
shop, where he would call upon her in the morning.
Seeing that she was perfectly sober, and col-
lected in her manner, he conveyed her to
the station-house, where she gave the name of Mary
Anne Beaver, and some suspicion being excited in con-
sequence of the abrupt disappearance of the person she
called her brother, a temporary lodging was procured
for her at the Globe Tavern, next door, where she re-
mained for the night, apparently satisfied with the pro-
tection afforded her. Yesterday morning, having again
waited upon her to ascertain what further steps she
would wish to take, he discovered that she had is her
possession a 51. note, and some silver, and having ex-
pressed a wish that he would accompany her to the
coffee-shop, to learn something about her brother, he of
course complied; but on arriving there they were told
there were no tidings of her brother, upon which she
became instantly affected in her mind, tearing her bonnet
to atoms, together with the 54 note, the greater part of
which she destroyed with her teeth, and swallowed the
fragments. With some difficulty she was carried to the
court, and while in the charge-room she appeared quite
frantic.

Mr. HENRY having ordered her to be brought into
court, and seeing her in -a much excited state of mind,
considered that the only course he could pursue was to
hand her over to the parish authorities, and directed the
sergeant who had the key of the carpet bag to open it
for the purpose of getting some clue to her parents, who
should be written to upon the subject.
Mr. Boswood, who had been sent for, said that he
would take charge of her for the purpose of obtaining the
opinion of the medical attendant at the workhouse.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Charles Bindley, who was formerly in extensive
business as a silk manufacturer, in Chapel-street, Spital-
fields, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, for
final examination, charged with having feloniously in-
termarried with Ann Dewyss, he having, as alleged, two
other wives then and still living.
Mr. Stammer, the barrister, appeared as counsel for
the defence, and a solicitor attended to watch the case
on behalf of a creditor who had obtained judgment upon
a debt incurred by the last wife, to the amount of 140/
It appeared that as police-constable Jones, G 159, was
on duty in High-street, Shoreditch, on that day se'nnight,
I he was accosted by a young man, named Dewyss, who
informed him that the prisoner, about six weeks since,
had contracted marriage with his aunt, a widow, carry-
ing on business in the silk trade, in Church-street,
Shoreditch, and, that it was well known that he had
already two other wives, who were both living, he
wished to give him into custody on a charge of
bigamy. While they were in conversation, he observed
the prisoner approaching with a carpet bag in his
hand, and accompanied by a young woman, also
equipped for travelling; and his informant intimated
that the latter was the second wife, with whom the pri-
soner was about to leave the country. The prisoner was
thereupon taken into custody, and on learning the charge
against him, he stated that the object of the prosecution
was to procure his arrest, on account of debts incurred
by the young man's aunt, and that he would at once
admit the criminal charge, rather than satisfy the de-
mands of her creditor. After he had been locked up in
the cell, the prisoner further acknowledged that he had
a wife living at Nuneaton, in Warwickshire ; that he
had also been subsequently married to another woman
at Shoreditch Church, and finally to Mrs. Dewyss, at
Stepney Church, in the preceding month. On learning
these facts, the constable proceeded in quest of the
second wife, but in making inquiries at the house of her
nunt, ho was informed that she had purposely absented
herself to avoid the alternative of appearing as a witness
against the prisoner.
On being asked if he wished to offer any answer to
the charge, the prisoner merely replied that he was
bound to admit its correctness.
The MAGISTRATE, therefore, ordered him to be re-
manded for a week, to enable the police to produce the
cessary evidence to substantiate the case.
The constable Jones now stated that he had used his
best efforts to discover and procure the attendance of
the requisite witnesses, but had been wholly unsuc-
cessful, and was consequently unable to carry the case
any further.
Mr. BINGHAM said that the prisoner had been detained
in custody solely in consequence of his own voluntary
avowal of his alleged criminality, but as no direct testi-
mony had been brought forward to support the accusa-
tion, he must order him to be at once discharged.
Mr. Stammers then addressed the magistrate, and be-
sought his intervention to prevent the arrest of the ac-
cused at the suit of his wife's creditors, in the purlieus
of the court, as he understood that several sheriffs'
officers were waiting to effect his caption the instant he
left the bar.
Mr. BINGHAM said, he presumed the sheriffs' offieeys
must be aware that persons in custody were entitled to
protection on their discharge from a court of justice
until they reached their own homes; but it was a matter
in which he had no power to interfere, and must leave
the officers to act upon their own discretion and re-
sponsibility.
On his liberation, the prisoner was surrounded by a
large crowd of his friends, who escorted him along the
passages to the street, where a body of his partisans to
the number of nearly one hundred, had also assembled
to accelerate his escape, but the instant he made his
appearance, he was pounced upon by two bailiffs, an I
hurried unceremoniously into a cab, in which he was
driven rapidly off to a place of durance.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(From Punch.)
Louis Philippe Orleans, an old man, w;th a large
head, and a very confident expression, was charged be-
fore the bench, Public Opinion, with a mast flagitious
act of child stealing. The case was very protracted,
and involved many statements and counter-statements,
but may be briefly summed up as follows :
It appeared that a Spaniard, named Ferdinand, who
had distinguished himself as a man-milliner—having
been specially appointed as petticoat-maker and em-
broiderer to the lloly Virgin—died some years ago at
Madrid, leaving behind him two little infant girls ; and
it was for the crafty abduction of the younger of these
children, by name Luisa—a young creature scarcely
marriageable—that the prisoner was brought to the bar.
He was an old offender, full of subtleties and tricks,
which he played off under the guise of the most en-
chanting bonhommie, which, of course, only rendered him
the more dangerous. This, however, was the first time
he had appeared at the bar of public opinion as a child-
stealer.

It was shown in evidence that the petticoat-maker
died very rich ; and there was no doubt that the im-
mense wealth of the unfortunate Luisa was one reason
for drawing upon her the attention of the prisoner ; who
had also—there could be no doubt of it—considerable
hopes of obtaining further advantages by meddling
in her family affairs ; and further of ultimately obtain-
ing the larger share of the property on the death of her
sister, reputed not to be of the most vigorous constitu-
tion. It was shown that Orleans had bad crafty accom-
plices in the business. He had introduced into the house
of the young ladies a French hairdresser, named Bres-
son, who had turned the head of the innocent Luisa with
the most glowing description of Orleans, surnamed
Montpensier, a youth with great precocity of mous-
tache. The hairdresser, Bresson, had also contrived to
give the young man's portrait (painted for the occasion)
to the hapless Luisa; and the effect of a portrait of a
handsome young man upon a girl of fourteen would be
obvious,

4'.e ilia*, a contract of marriage had been brought
about by tio3 craftiness of the hair-dresser; and the child
—however it might be attempted to palliate the circum-
stances by the forms of law—the child was, in a word,
stolen from herself, her country, and her relations, by
the guile and avarice of the prisoner at the bar.
The COURT regretted that it could not interfere in
even to ilagitiout a case. The prisoner must be dis-
charged ; though ha must not for a moment suppose
that he left the Court with clean hands.
hereupon the prisoner gave a knowing wink, chuckle,
and left the Court, humming " Od peut on stre mieux
nu'au sein de sa famille 1"

A Goo]) ANECDOTE WELL APPLIED.—An Indian
and a Kentuckian once made an agreement to hunt in
company, and divide equally the game which they might
chance to kill. Unfortunately, a crow and a wild turkey
were all they shot. " Well," said the Kentuckian, at
the end of the day, " as we are to divide equally, you
take the crow, and I'll take the turkey; and I'll take the
turkey, and you take the crow."—" How's that ?" in-
quired the Indian. The Kentuckian in rapid accents
repeated his proposal, to which the Indian, after a
blank and puzzled look, consented, but with the
remark:--" It sounds all very fair ; but, somehow
or other, you always get the turkey, and / always get
the crow." This is an admirable illustration of the
mode, not only in which the Americans have dealt with
the Indians, but in which the aristocracy in all countries
and ages have dealt with the people. Everywhere the
cunning and the strong have leagued with the mass,
under pretence of achieving the common good, but with
the secret object of securing merely their own. They
have put themselves at the head of nations, with the pro
posal to divide equally the benefits accruing from this
partnership, but they have invariably contrived to keep
the turkey, and put off the poor bamboozled people with
the erow.—lianiptien's History qf the English Aristocracy.
