POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY.)

BOW STREET.

Ax UNRULY PAUPER.—Mary Beattie was placed at the
bar, charged with assaulting Elizabeth Hales, and obtain-
ing admission to St. Gilds' Workhouse under false pre•
tences.

Elizabeth Hales said she was an inmate of St. Giles's
Workhouse, as was the prisoner. They slept in the same
"bed, and since Beattie's admission she had been continu-
ally quarrelling. An altercation took place this morning
about re-making the bed, the prisoner refusing flatly to
assist in doing so, and on being informed that the authori-
ties would be acquainted with her conduct, she jumped on
the bed, and getting hold of the complainant she
began striking her with the hand broom. Shugars
the officer, was called, but he was unable to restore quiet-
ness, so he took the prisoner into custody.
The nurse of the ward, Mrs. Coombes, confirmed the
statement of witness.

Shugars, the officer to the Workhouse, said he was called
to quell a disturbance in one of the female wards. He
found the prisoner partly undressed, and, on telling her to
put the whole of her clothes on, he observed she took par-
ticular care of her pocket. Ho demanded to know. what
she had in it, as she had obtained admission into the house
as a totally destitute person. She refused to satisfy him,
and after a little resistance he got:the pocket from her, and
found in it a purse containing a sovereign, two shillings,
and four foreign coins.

Magistrate—Well, prisoner, what have you to say to the
charge ?

Prisoner—Nothing your worship. I refused to submit
to the impudence of Hales, and I paid her out for it. I
never did nothing else.
Hales—That's true. You never did nothing else. You
used to walk about the ward like a lady calling everybody
else names.

Prisoner—What did I call you ; you are not worth call-
ing anything. (Laughter.)
Hales—You called me enough to aggravate any person.
Prisoner—lf I called you names, you did me. I cer-
tainly called you a thief. Why, your worship she was
going to be married to my brother, but his lieutenant
would not allow it, and she then ran away with all his
money about a month ago.

Shugars said Hales had been in the house more than two
months, so it could not be her.

Mr. Henry—What have you to say to entering the work-
house as a destitute person ?

Prisoner—So I was and am. I've nobody to look after
me—(laughter)—and went into the workhouse to look after
the girl that ran away with my brother's money, and I
thought I should be sure to find her there.
Mr. Henry—But when you applied for admission you
had seven-and-twenty shillings in your purse.
Shugars informed the magistrate that the prisoner had
never once left the house since she entered it a fortnight
ago, or received any letters or friends.

Prisoner—Well, I did have the money when I went in,
but as I did not intend to stop long I thought I might want
it when I came out, so I did not say anything about it.
Mr. Henry told the prisoner that she had clearly com-
mitted an assault on Hanes, and obtained admission to the
workhouse by falsely representing herself as a destitute
person. The officer informs me you have not the slightest
claim on the parish, so I shall remand you for a week in
order that some inquiries may be made about you.
The prisoner wap they locked up.
