POLICE INTELLIGENCE-April 12.

MANSION HOUSE.—John Edwards, aged 18,
was charged with having stolen a handkerchief and
five shillings from Mrs. Denton, on board a steamer.
The complainant—l was on board a steamer, and
I felt an uncomfortable pressure at my pocket.
Immediately afterwards I saw the prisoner,
when I gave him to understand that he had
been robbing me, throw my handkerchief, which
contained five shillings, into the river. He was
taken into custody. Upon his person were found
two pencil cases, one of which was gold.
The prisoner—The gold pencilcase was given t
my poor father when he dyi °
me 13
as ng.
(Laughter.)
The prisoner was recognised as a common thief.
He denied that he had ever committed a robbery or
been charged with any Offencees,aibat
questioned by the alderman h
lordship to treat the case I upon wish b ye oi nu
gr
in a summary way.
Settle it yourself. (Laughter.)
Alderman Salomons—Tilen I sentence you to im-
prisonment for three mouths with hard labour.
John Th waites, aged 18 years, was charieg befrs:e

Mr. Alderman Salomons with having with his
barrow caused an obstruction in the streets.
A policeman said—At five o'clock on Wednesday
evening I saw the defendant with his barrow, in
which there were nuts for sale. He was causing
an obstruction to the omnibuses and other vehicles.
I went to him and told him that if he did not go
away he must go to the station-house, and that he
was violating the law. He promised to go and he
did move off, but at half-past six o'clock I saw him
again. He was then causing a greater obstruc-
tion, and as be would not go off I took him to the
station-house.
Alderman Salomons—Where is his barrow ?
Policeman--It was taken to the green-yard, and
he was let go upon his promise to appear at the
Mansion-house. He has paid the green-yard fee of
half a crown.

Alderman Salomons—Well, I think that is
punishment enough, and I discharge the defendant,
but I advise him not to appear in the streets of the
City with his barrow any more.

WE S TMINS TER.—William Browne, a shabbily -
dressed fellow, about 40 years of age, was charged
with the following malicious act :
Mr. Robt. Edward Barnes, wine merchant, 113,
Sloane-street, said that the defendant had been
constantly annoying him, and on Tuesday said he
wanted some money, and intended to have it. Prose-
cutor had known him for several years. He was
separated from his wife, and prosecutor took care of
some money belonging to her, and defendant claimed
it. He came again to prosecutor's place on Wed-
nesday, at a quarter to seven in the evening. Pro-
secutor having been told he was coming, closed the
door, and told him to go away, upon which he
stepped into the road, took up two stones, and,
throwing them at the plate glass window, worth
£2 10s., demolished it.
Defendant said that prosecutor had swindled him
out of £B2. He had been repeatedly to him for it
during the last three years, but could not obtain a
farthing, and had been told to sue him for it, but
no solicitor would "work" the case unless he paid
the money down, and he was not able to do that.
Mr. Arnold thought the accusefi's conduct most
wanton and malicious. If he had any claim upon
Mr. Barnes he should have:sued him ; breaking Lis
windows would not do him any good. If he was too
poor to sue prosecutor, he should have applied to
the court, and could have brought his action in
forma pauperis. He should sentence him to six
weeks' hard labour, in default of paying the amount
of damage.

IVIARYLEBONE.—CharIes Jones, an inmate of
Marylebone Workhouse, was brought up by Mr.
Tubbs, the assistant overseer, charged with having
committed assaults of a most violent description
upon two females, inmates of the establishment.
Mary Ann Wood, whose right eye was frightfully
blackened and bruised, deposed that about 7 o'clock
on Wednesday evening she was sitting in the work-
house yard, when the prisoner, who had been doing
some work in the kitchen, came out with a scaffold-
ing pole under his arm, and scandalously abused an
old woman without any provocation whatever.
Witness told him he ought to be ashamed of himself,
upon which he immediately gave her a tremendous
blow on the face, at the same time threatening to
bury his boot in ber skull.
_ _

argaret Devereux, who also bore marks of ill-
treatment, said that on her rushing forward to rescue
Wood, prisoner struck her with all his might.
Mary Anne Burrows corroborated the above
evidence.

Police-constable 258 D stated that when he took
the prisoner into custody one of the females was
bleeding from the eye.
The prisoner, in answer to the charges said that
before he gave any blow the complaining parties
"pitched into him," and he was struck on the head
with a brick.

He called two witnesses, but the statements made
by them in regard to the affair were but little in
his favour.

Mr. Tubbs said that prisoner was a most dis-
orderly and dangerous character, and had often
been convicted at this court.
Mr .Long remarked tb at it was his duty to punish
the prisoner severely, and sentenced him to four
months in the House of Correction, being two
months for each of the two cases of assault.

S 0 UT HWARK.—A fine-looking, weather-beaten
sailor applied for advice under the following cir-
cumstances :—Applicant said that about two years
ago he married a young woman in Bermondsey,
and two months after that he signed articles to go
as able seaman to the East Indies and back. He
left his wife his monthly note, and had reason to
suppose she would be faithful to him during his
absence; but unfortunately he was doomed to dis-
appointment. On the previous day his ship arrived
In port, and he immediately proceeded to the house
where he had left his wife, but she had left nearly
a year, and the parties could not tell where she had
gone. He, however, found out her mother, who
informed him that her daughter was living with
another man, by whom she had a child two months
old. He wished to know what he was to do under
those circumstances.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, told him if he could
substantiate his statement his wife had lost all claim
on him.

Applicant asked whether ho could not have a
divorce P
Mr. Edwin informed him that he could, but it
would cost him money. He supposed he intended
to go to sea again ?
Applicant said that he did, but his wife had all
his property, and he wanted to get that. He under-
stood that she was married to the man she lived
with.

Mr. Edwin asked him how he knew that ?
He replied that the mother had shown him a copy
of the certificate of the marriage at Newington
Church.

Mr. Edwin told him if such was the fact she
could be given into custody for bigamy.
Inspector Reed, M division, undertook to investi-
gate the circumstances and assist the applicant in
his difficulties.

LAMBETH.--Yesterday, Elizabeth Lampard, a
young woman who seemed to be suffering from
mental as well as bodily ailment, was brought up
from Guy's Hospital, and placed at the bar before
Mr. Elliott, charged with attempting self-destruc-
tion by cutting her throat with a table knife.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner
lived as servant in the family of Mr. Biddle, 18,
East-street, Lambeth, and that for some time past
she had exhibited signs of despondency. On Friday,
the 29th ult., she was found in the water closet, with
an extensive wound in her throat, from which
blood was flowing, and by her side was a table knife.
She was removed without delay to the hospital,
where the wound was dressed. She remained there
till that day, when she was considered sufficiently
recovered to be removed.
The prisoner accounted for her despondency by
saying that she lost her mother about two years ago,
since which time she has been very unhappy in her
rabid.

Her father was sent for, and he confirmed her
statement.

She was sent to the workhouse.

W.ANDSW-ORTH.—Mr. Henry Robt. Newton, a
gentleman residing in Argyll-place, Oxford-street,
appeared before Mr. Ingham at the instance of Mr.
Henry Anscomb, on behalf of the Brighton Railway
Company, for unlawfully neglecting on arriving at
the point to which he had paid the fare, viz., within
New Wandsworth station, to quit the carrioge.
John Hughes, ticket collector at the Pimlico
station iu Battersea-fields, stated that on the ar-
rival of the 2.35 train from Brighton on the 25th of
last month, he proceeded to collect the tickets. ThF,
defendant was in a first class carriage, and II
duced a double return ticket from Brigton to:i-NTleew- Wandsworth station. Witness told him hi! oughtcm

Mr. Ashley the station master, was called to
prove that the fare was only 155., and the fare from
Wandsworth to Pimlico was 6d.
The defendant said it was no use calling Mr.

DVERTISEMENT.j—The Fatality of Disease..—Hollo-
way's Pills.—lt is distressing to look around and see
the numbers that aro hourly carried premature:ly to their
graves who might easily be saved by medicines suited to
their complaints. In the majority of cases, diseases origi-
nate in impure or impoverished blood. liolloway's Pills
act on that vital fluid—they expel from the secretory
organs and the circulation the morbid matter which pro-
duces inflammation, pain, fever, debility, and physical
decay. When taken according to the,
_printed directions,
they have never been known to fail, Under a course of
these pills the sick man soon rises from his bed, and the
feeble become robust. The cure is not superficial or tem-
porary, but complete and permanent.
