POLICE INTELLIGENCE—ApriIIa

GUILDHALL—ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE
GREEN-EYED MONSTER..--ARD Ginty, a decent-
looking woman, was charged with attempting to
commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of
laudanum.

Broom, 156, said he was called to a room on the
second floor at 3, Charlotte-court, Redcross-street,
where he found the Erisener suffering from the
effects of poison. He saw an empty bottle labelled
laudanum, on the table, and she said she had taken
it all, alluding to the previous contents of the
bottle. He procured medical assistance, and as
soon as the prisoner was in a condition to be re-
moved he took her to the police station.
Alderman Hale—ls this the first attempt she has
ever made upon her life ?

Officer—o, Sir; she made a similar attempt
about six weeks ago.
Alderman Hale—And what is the cause of these
attempts to destroy herself?

Springate, the gaoler—She tells me, your wor-
ship, that it is jealousy of her husband, and she has
been on her knees all the morning praying for for-
giveness.
The husband here came forward, and corroborated
the gaoler's statement.
Alderman Hale—How long have you been mar-
ried to the prisoner ?
The husband being unable to answer the question,
the officer supplied the information, stating that
they had been married only eight months.
Alderman Hale, addressing the prisoner, said—
You must be a very foolish woman to poison your-
self because your husband is unfaithful to you; and
let me remind you that the offence you contemplated
is a most serious one, for the commandment, "Thou
shalt do no murder," applies equally to the taking
of your own life as that of another.
Prisoner—l will never do the same again, sir. I
will pray for forgiveness.
Alderman Hale—Very well. Upon that promise
I will let you go home with your husband; but if
you :are :brought here again on such a charge you
will most assuredly be tried at the Old Bailey for it.

BOW-STREET.—John Wallace, a tall, slender
youth of about 18 years of age, dressed in the uni-
form of the St. Giles's Workhouse, and wearing a
bandage about his neck and the lower part of his
face, was charged with a savage assault upon
another inmate of the workhouse, named Joseph
Owen ; the back of his head was strapped with
plaster, through which the blood was still oozing,
from apparently a large wound.
The complainant, who appeared to be in a very
feeble state, and who was said to be suffering with
paralysis, deposed that about one o'clock that after-
noon he was sitting on a form in the workhouse
yard, when he " happened to touch" a boy who was
sitting next him. The prisoner thereupon " began
to jaw" him, and he then " happened to touch" the
prisoner, who seized a shovel, and struck him with
the blade of it on the back of the head, inflicting a
severe wound.

A policeman here produced the shovel in question,
an old and much-battered spade, but certainly a
very formidable weapon.
Mr. Jardine inquired whether the wound was
severe, and whether it had been dressed ?

The governor of the workhouse, Mr. Ranklin,
said the wound was very severe. It had been dressed
by a surgeon.
Mr. Jardine—What is the matter with the de-
fendant's throat ?

Prisoner—l have got a bad swelling there, and
ho (Owen) bit me there before I touched him. It
hurt me very much, and the pain made me wild, but
I did not mean to hit him so hard.

Complainant—l did not hit him at all ; and I
never touched his throat.
Mr. Jardine (to the prisoner)—Even if he had as-
saulted you first that would not justify you in cut-
ting his head open with a spade. He must be taken
care of for a few days till we see what it comes to,
and for that purpose I shall remand you.
The prisoner, who, with an air of great non-
chalance, repeated that complainant hit him first,
was then remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—George Brown
Fitzgerald, of 19, Marylebone-lane, butler, out of
place, was finally- examined before Mr. Beadon, on
the charge of falsely representing himself to be a
Mr. Maitland, and the master of one Robert Davis,
and as such supplying a false character, whereby
the said Robert Davis was taken into employ as a
butler.
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, as before, attended on
the part of the prosecution ; and Mr. E. Lewis, of
Marlborough-street, for the defenes.
The evidence on two previous examinations has
been already given, and need not be repeated.
Mr. Lewis said the prisoner had been seen by one

or two pei but they, having a doubt, failed to
identify and therefore no fresh cases would on
this occasion be orought against him. He would
therefore cal 1 fo: r judgment under the act on the
so clearly proved against him.
r everting to the letter he had received
ofrnoel‘ramicishßeecaalliiirriinsac,d'iY
ler since the last examination, said
he was very an xious to make him believe that he
had been led . into this offence by a servant out of
place, whom he did not know where to find, whose
name Ivas Smith, and that he had introduced Davis
merely gi
hohat.
given him 40s. as a present, and
yen him a character in a friendly
( way to retrieve hOnself.
tohe him,had w

The prisoner said he had been himself duped by
Smith.

Mr. Beadon—No case could have been made out
in a clearer manner. It is manifest you are one of
those dangerous pests to society who live by sup-
plying characters to servants of both sexes, who
are themselves unable to get them in an honest and
legitimate way—a proceeding which inflicts on
those who take such servants on such recommenda-
tions immense injury, for too often they are disco..
vered to be thieves, committing robbery to as far
an extent as they are able. I regret exceedingly
that the Act 32 Geo. 111., c. 56, under which -this
charge has been brought, has not before this bean
altered and made more severe without pecuniary
fine. The utmost I can do I will, however, aiad
sentence you to pay a fine of £2O and 10s. costs, in
default of paying which you will go to the House
of Correction, with hard labour, for three valender
months.

It may not be uninteresting to state t'Aie course
pursued by the convicted prisoner, Davis, on his
obtaining his situation at Mr. Porter - Smith's.
Sheen Mount, Mortlake. Though a. married man,
no sooner had he got into the house, :and ascer-
tained that a young female servant there had £2OO
in the bank, than he commenced naakin g fierce love
to her, and soon succeeded so far in Ids infamous
suit that she consented to be married, to him, fully
believing him to be an honourablue man and a
bachelor. The banns being publia .sd in church,
the day was fixed for the marriage, but the disco-
very of the plate robbery and his co .nsequent Bight
happily saved his intended victim, and defeated his
infamous project, and his subsequar nt apprehension
by detective officer Smith,, of tits A division, and
conviction upon trial, proved to, her by the facts
elicited how much she had to bra thankful for in her
escape from a designing villain
whose object Was
solely to possess himself of het:.
property.

Influenza.—This disease, now so prevalent and often fatal, 3"
an epidemic form of fever attended by irritation of the wind.

erroneously treated by the ordinary medicines adapted fu'

mistake is mortal. This mischance can never happen when
reliance is placed on Holloway's medicines, for whether the
symptoms arise from inflammation, eolds, or irritation (Law
enza), these remedies relieve, in the first, by lowering the eir;
culation ; in the latter by soothing the excited nerves.
this season no family is safe without Holloway's prep ars:
tions, which do not contain a grain of noxious ingredient% to
injure the constitution.
