POLICE INTELLIGENCE---June 8.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Joseph Dalby,
a ticket-of-leave convict, was brought before Mr.
Beadon for final examination, charged with havin
been ooacerned in a burglary at the house of Dr
Nussey, No. 4,9leveland-row.

It appeared that Police-sergeant Crocker (one of
the constables shot at by the convict Russell) was
passing through Compton-street when he saw the
prisoner and three other thieves loitering about.
As the prisoner answered the description of a man,
who had committed a burglary at the hou-e of Dr.
Nussey, he procured assistance, and after a short
struggle secured them all. A boy who could idenz
tify one of the men who had entered Dr. Nuesey'e
house was cent for, and he immediately pointeit
out the prisoner as one of the burglars. The pri-
soner was then brought to this court and charged
with burglary.
Henry Slat*, servant to Dr. Nusssy, said, on the
4th of May, about 1 in the morning, while in bed,
he heard a noise in the surgery. He sit up in berl
and listened, aid then saw the prisoner come round
the counter in the surgery with a light in his hand.
Thera was another man with the prisoner. Witti.
ness called oat and a,ked what they wanted. He
made no reply, but put out the light and ran off.
Police-Sergeant Glass, C division, examined Dr.
Nussey's house, and found footmarks on the wall
and ledge over the surgery. The skylight had
been forced completely off by a crowbar or jemmy.
The thieves had only time to break open one desk
before the boy discovered them.
Police-Sergeant Crocker, C division, from the
boy's description of one of the thieves, suspected
the prisoner, and apprehended him with three
others in Compton-street. On one of the other
prisoners, who was arm in arm with the prisoner,
he found a crowbir, which exactly fitted the mark.,
on the skylight and desk.
The prisoner denied the charge, but the boy was
positive as to his identity.
The prisoner was fully committed.
It appeared that Dr. Nussey's house has baen
twice attempted since May.
The three companions of the prisoner, being
well-known thieves, were sentenced, John Dona!
van to three months, and Benjamin Stevens and
George Groom to two months each.

WORSHIP-STREET. —James Shadrach, a
middle.aged man, was charged before Mr. D'Eyn-
court with the following brutality :
The prisoner's wife, a dean but wretched-look-
ing woman, with an infant three months old in her
arms, said,—This man is my husband, and a car-
penter by trade. On Saturday night, as he did
not come !home, I went out to look for him, but
could not find him, and after I had returned lorae
a short time, between nine and ten o'clock, he
came in drunk. I said it was a shame, or very
wrong of him, not to come home earlier, to which
he made no reply whatever, but coolly got up,
19cked the door, struck me a 'violent blow upon the
eye with kis fist, then another on the mouth, cut-
ting my lip, then knocked me down, and struck
me on the head after I had fallen ; I have the
bruises upon my ha id now. I called out for help,
and he threatened me if I did not be quiet, say-
ing he would be hung for me, and also said I was
drunk, but I was not.
By Mr. D'Eyncourt.--I had my infant in my
arms all the time he did this. We have been
married nine years, and I have had three children
by him. He earns from 30s: to 2/. a-week, but he
only gives me sometimes ss. and sometimes 7s.
a-week, and spends all the rest on himself. He
knocked three of my teeth out on Saturday night
—one of them thr•iugh my upper lip, and he also
jumped upon me while I was in the familyway:
(The woman here exhibited her upper lip, which
was much swollen, very sore, and seemingly cut
through, and there was blood on the clothes_ of the
infant she held in her arm.. )_ _ . _

Au elderly woman named Mary Anne Ford, said.
—.4 don't know anything of this w.man or her hus-
band, except from being a neighbour, but I do
know that she is a very good woman, and nearly
starves herself to feed the family, which and her
pl ce she keeps very clean. 1 have often heard him
beat her before this, and now I did not see it, but 1
heard her scream for help that it would have soft-
ened a st.,ne. She said, " Oh, don't kill my baby 1
Oh, do somebody come and take my poor baby 1"
Her screams and cries of " Murder" were dreadful:

King, 2211.—=1 was feteled to the house, and
found the prisoner drunk. The wife was perfectly'
sober, but bleeding a gre it deal from the mouth,
and one of her teeth bad been forced through her
upper lip.
Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the prisoner)—And what
have you to say to all this T •
Prisoner—Well, I t ,id her not to aggravate me
so, as I was in liquor ; but she would do it.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Every one who has heard the
evidence agAinst you must feel thoroughly shocked
at the brutality of which you have been guilty.
The Legislature is endeavouring by every possible
n-wao; to put a check upon those cruel acts
of violence, and the whole country is indignant at
the constant repetition of such outrages, and well
it may be, for they do not cease. I shall mark my
sense of your conduct by sentencing you to six
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction,
with hard labour, and at the expiration of that you
must find bail for your good behaviour for three
montLis longer.
The wife askei what she was to do ; the prisoner
had brought her home no money at all on Saturday
night, and she had nothing to support her and the
children.

Mr. D'Eyncourt directed SR. to be given her,
and ordered inquiries to b 3 made as wh%t could
be done for her.

THAMES.—Wm. Moyce, a gardener, described
as a labourer, aged 40, of Ge ,rge-street, Bromley,
and Mary Scott, a married woman, of No. 3, Nel-
son-strut. Bromley, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, the former charged with feloniously and ml-
lioiously shooting at Mr. John Joseph Hickmott,
a builder and timber merchant in the Mile-end-
road, with intent to murder him, and the woman
was charged with using threatening language to-
wards a sheriff's officer and obstructing him in the
execution of his duty.
A medical certificate wag put in, stating that Mr'
Hickmott, who is one of the guardians of the poor
of Mile-end Old-town, and deservedly respected in
that hamlet, was seriously wounded and unable to
leave his room.

It appeared from the evidence of Daniel (over,
assistant to Mr. Sloman, sheriff's officer, of No. 22,
Chancery-lane, that ho went that morning with a
writ of possession to the cottage and market-garden
ground in the occupation of the defendant in Brom-
ley. Hearing the male prisoner was a violent man,
he took two police constables with him to render
aid in case of necessity, and Mr. Hickmott the
plaintiff in the action and owner of the premises,
also accompanied him. The male prisoner was in
a corner of the garden and was shown the writ of
possession, and asked to give up possession of the
house and premises, to which he replied that he
would not, and made a great disturbance. The
door of the cottage was broken open, and witness
' and his assistants proceeded to remove the furni-
ture out of it. The prisoner Moyce became more
violent than ever, and by his shouts and threats
caused a great many persons to assemble. The
male prisoner was expostulated with, but in vain,
and he took up a loaded gun, and said if he was
not left in the quiet possession of the cottage he
would shoot some one. A Mr. Phillips and two
police constables remonstrated waigtiuhenytilinit theeoprisoner
and asked him to give up the gun, whichhe
re-
fused to do, and, after somteep r
the air
pri-
soner fired the contents of h
The gun was then put into the parlour, and the
removal of the furniture and contents was con-
tinued. All this time the female prisoner cos-
con-
ducted herself in a most violent manner, and made
use of threats and bad language towards every one
engaged in-executing the process of the law. Soon
afterwards Moyce suddenly appeared with the gun
in his hand, and levelled it at Mr. Hickmott, who
was standing in the garden and fired, The contents
of the gun lodged in Mr. Hiekmott's right side,
and he fell. A rush was made upon Moyce, who
was secured, and the gun taken from him.
Mr. Selfe said he would allow the female pri-
soner to be set at liberty on her promise to appear
before him on Saturday next, and remanded Moyce
to prison until that day.

About 112,000/. out of the 345,000/. of Australian
gold brought by the Sussex and Widmer Castle was sold
to the Bank yesterday, and a further considerable por.
tion is expected to be taken there. It is understood also
that within the last few days some remittances of so-
vereigns have been received from Ireland.
