.POLIC.E .INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
BEGGING-LETTER PESTS.—Giovanni Mazzini and Flo-
rence Mazzini, the latter evidently an Irish woman, were
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :
Bute.). r, 137 C, said—Yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, I was in a post-office in Vigo-street, when the
female prisoner came in and asked the young woman in
the shop to write a letter for her, but she refused, and
after some time the woman left the shop. The young
woman then told me that her sister had written a letter for
the same woman the previous day, but that, as she believed
it to be a begging-letter, she would write no more. I then
went after the female prisoner, who was accompanied by
the male prisoner, and I watched them into a shop
in Regent-street, where the female prisoner asked
a man to write a letter, but, on his refusal, she
asked to be relieved. They then came out and went to Mr.
Baldwin's, hosier's, 49, Great Portland-street, where at the
female prisoner's dictation a letter was written. I then
took them into custody. •
(The letter was here handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt addressed
" To the Right Hon. Lord Talbot de Malahide.")
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall take the liberty of opening the
letter.

Mr. Tyrwhitt having read the letter said it was asking
assistance of his lordship to take them to Sheffield.

On being asked what they had got to say, the female pri-
soner began, assuming a foreign accent, with, " Well, my
lord—"

Mr. ryrwhitt—Ah, you are trying that on, are you.
You might as well talk to a wall as talk like that to me.
You are about as Italian as I am.

Female prisoner—Well, your worship, my husband came
with Lord Fitzgerald from Provence to Dublin, and his
lordship gave us means to come to England, thinking we
might better our condition.

Male prisoner—The Hon. Richard Talbot came to see
me while I was ill, and told me to go to the hospital.
Mr. Tyrwhitt--The whole thing is whether the offence of
begging —the offence with which you are charged—has been
committed, but it is as near begging as can be. I shall
discharge you this time, but you had better not come here
again.

THAMES.
VIOLENT AssAim-F.—Charles Tinsdale, a bargeman, was
brought before Mr. Self; charged with violently assault-
ing William Webster.

The complainant .said he was also a bargeman. He was
in the Commercial-road yesterday evening and met the
prisoner, who, without saying a word, struck him a severe
blow on the cheek and stunned him. He lost two bundles,
which dropped on the ground when he was struck, and
some persons ran away with them.
Mr. Selfe—Was the prisoner sober ?
Witness—Sober as a judge.
Mr. Selfe—Do you know the prisoner?
Witness—Yes, I have reason to know bim. He ran
away with my wife, and has been cohabiting with her seven
months.

The prisoner, a rough, strong man, in defence, said—l
saw this gent!eman. He owes me money. I was informed
he was going to shoot me. He said I can shoot you in the
eye, and he hit me a blow on the side of the head.

The complainant—l owe him no money.
The prisoner—What I Not for five weeks' work—that
is a good one—l'll make you pay the money.
Mr. Selfe— Well, do so; but don't be quarrelling in the
streets. People are getting exceedingly quarrelsome this
hot weather. You are fined 10s., and if you cannot pay it
you will go to prison for seven days.
