POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
DISTURBING A CONGREGATION OF DISSENTERS.
—The case of the Rev. Mr. Haslam against Judah
Isaac Abrahams again occupied the attention of the
Magistrates at this office on Saturday morning.
The charge against Mr. Abrahams, who styled
himself " a Preacher of the Crucifixion of Christ
by the Jews, and a converted Jew," was for inter-
rupting Mr. Haslam in the middle of his sermon at
Z.on Chapel, Waterloo-road, the particulars of which
were stated in our Paper of Tuesday last.
The defendant was admitted to bail, and having
since had an interview with Mr. Haslam that gen-
tleman consented to stay proceedings provided the
defendant would make a public apology before the
magistrates. Mr. Abrahams had no objection to
comply with Mr. Haslam's request, and the parties
on S irurday morning attended before M:ssrs.
GREGORIE and WHITE, when the defendant, after
sta'ing die nature of his appearance before them,
handed to Mr. GREGORIE a document, of which the
following is a copy
Zion Chapel v. J. I. Abrahams.

" To the Magiqratee of Queen-square Police-office.

" Gentlemen,—Horrorstruck at the base insinuation
which was unintentionally conveyed by my thoughtless ex-
pression of the word jealous, in my defence on Monday,
touching my disorderly and ever.to.be.slamented conduct at
Zion Chapel no the day previous, during divine service, I
feel it a duty most incumbent on me, as the only repara-
tion I can make to the Rev. Mr. H alum, the minister of the
said chapel, whose moral character and conduct I believe
to be in the highest degree respectable; as also my dear
wife, whose conduct I know to be most circumspect ; and
to her highly respectable family, whose feelings I have
thereby deeply outraged, to declare, in the same public
manner in which the foul insinuation was unintentionally
made, that I neither designed by the word jealous any
allusion to the circumspection of my dear wife's conduct,
nor the slightest imputation upon the moral character and
conduct of her deservedly respected Minister. My only
meaning was, that I was jealous or mortified at the Rev.
Gentleman's superior influence over the mind of my wife
in reference to the literal return of my nation to their own
land, Mr. Haslam's public ministry occasionally exhibiting
that return as only inward and spiritual, and other
bibicil and doctrinal points. But I now see and regrtt
my fully and sin in having so improperly conducted myself.
I well knew, before my marriage, that my dear wife had
been for many years strongly attached to the ministry of
Mr. Haslam, and that, residing in that gentleman's
neighbourhood, she had availed herself of his and Mrs. Has-
lam's kindness in conveying her to chapel with his family.
I am, Gentlemen, very respectful:y yours,
" JUDAH ISAAC ABRAHAMS."

M. GREGORIE, under the circumstances, consent-
ed that the recognizances which the defendant and
his bail had en•ered into should be withdrawn, and
not returnable to the quarter sessions.
The parties then withdrew.

CURIOUS LOVE AFFAIR.—Mr. Mirgers, a gen-
tlemanly-looking young man, agent to a house in
the city, was charged with having beep found con-

cealed in the back part of the house of R. Worman
Esq., of No. 1, Queen's-row, Pentonville.7lt ap-
pears that a few evenings ago the defendant was
struck by the charms of Sarah Rain, Mr. Worman's
buxom servant, who was standing at the door.
Mutual glances were exchanged, the defendant was
emboldened to speak, and after a little blushing con
the part of Sarah an appointment was made
Friday night. Sarah waited for him in amorous
suspense, and at ten o'clock, or thereabouts, the
gay Lothario made his appearance. He treated her
to a bottle of wine, which they discussed in the
kitchen, and by her pressing entreaties he consented
to remain with her all night. Their rest was, how-
ever, disturbed by the unexpected return of Mr.
Worman, upon which Sarah told her lover to
run up stairs. He did so, and, to render his
safety doubly sure, actually got upon the top of
the house. There unfortunately he was espied by
the police, who considered he was a house-
breaker, and therefore knocked at. the door, and
after a little trouble took him into custody. Mr.
Mirgers then unfolded his plain unvarnished tale,
but Sarah declared that she had never seen the man
before. The defendant was nonplused at this, but
he speedily recovered himself, and having pulled off
his boots, displayed his bare feet, the socks for which
were found in the bed down stairs, as well as Mr.
Mirgers' spectacles and snuff-box. These circum-
stances having been detailed to the Magistrates, Mr.
Mirgers was discharged with a caution, and the
amorous Sarah, who was present, was informed that
she was no longer in Mr. Norman's service.
