POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 12,

CLERKENWELL.—John Lloyd, aged 25, a rough,
dirty-looking fellow, who stated tbat he was a labourer
residing in Lissun-grove, Marylebone, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with unlawfully assault-
ing and wounding Jesse Gaunlett, alias Kinlock, an
unfortunate female, at No. 52, Little Clarendon street,
St. Pancras.

Mr. Corrie said he shoula remand the prisoner unti
Saturday next ; but, upon the application of the priso
ner, he said he would accept bail, and fixed it at two
sureties of 201. each.

The prisoner was locked up.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Harriet Pope was
brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with attempting to
commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine.
Parsons, one of the officers of the Humane Society,
sail he nas on duty at the receiving-house on Sunday
week, when the bell rang, and on opening the gate he
received charge of the prisoner, who bad just jumped
into the Serpentine near the bridge. He had been in-
formed that when the alarm was given a person who was
passing at the time threw off his coat and jumped in
after the prisoner, very nearly losing his own life from
his humane conduct, in consequence of the struggles
of the prisoner and the difficulty he had in rescuing her
from the water. The prisoner was kept at the receiving-
hisuse until 4 o'clock thatday; and then being sufficiently
recovered she was wrapped in a blanket, and sent to St.
George's Hospital, where she had remained ever since..
Mr. Beadon assed the prisoner what she had to say
to the charge ?
The prisoner replied that she had been driven to at-
tempt suicide in consequence of ill-usage from her hus-
band, who had turned her out of home, and taken up
with another woman.
The husband, who was in court, came forward and
said, it was true that he had parted from his wife, but it
was in consequence of her inveterate habits of intoxica
tion. Everything was either sold or pawned for drink,
and after repeated attempts to reclaim her, he had se-
parated from her, and made her an allowance of 7s. a
week. She was in the habit of coming to his employers
quite drunk, to demand more money, and her connuct
had nearly lost him his employment. It was only on the
night before she threw her,elt . into the water that he
sent her 10s., and the next morning she had not a far-
thing left.
Police-constable A 147, said the employer of Pope
gave him a most excellent character, and complained of
the drunken habits of his wife.
The prisoner said she wanted a larger allowance from
her husband.

The husband said he could not afford it. If his wife
had a guinea a week she would not have a penny the
day after she received her money.
Mr. Beadon consented to discharge the prisoner on the
husband giving her money for present support, and pro-
mising to allow her a weekly sum according to his means.
The officer of the receiving house wished to know
whether he was bound to attend the court to give evi-
dence in those oases where he had nothing more to say
tha❑ he admitted a case of drowning into the society's
house. In the present instance the police insisted on
his coining to the court with the prisoner, although it
might be injurious if anything should happen during his
absence, such as a call fur assistance, and he not there to
give it.
Mr. Beadon did n' .t think the officer need attend in
any case except where he personally assisted in prevent-
ing the felony of suicide.

MARYLEBONE.—Frederick Goodwin, a boy not
12 years of age, was charged before Mr. Long with
throwing a large brick at the express train of the Lon.
don and North Western Railway. The case being
proved the prisoner was committed to take his trial at
the sesions.
A well-dressed young man, who described himself as a
teacher of music, and said that he re,ided at Liverpool,
was charged with attempting to commit suicide by
swallowing a quantity of laudanum at a coffee shop in
Praed.street, Paciditigton. The prisoner, who ascribed
his conduct to distress of mind from slanderous reports
vvh;ch bad been circulated respecting him, was remanded
till Monday next.

TIIAMES.—Martha Rebecca Jukes, a widow about
30 years of age, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Stile, charged with administering laudanum to her son,
aged five years, and also with taking laudanum with the
int?Wion of committing suicide.
The unfortunate woman, who had recently lost her
hinband, had endeavoured to maintain herself and child
by needlework, but becoming quite destitute, had under
the influence of great depression, committed the act
changed against her.

The medical officer who attended to the case stated
that she was labouring under an affection of the mind
called melancholia, and that she had ever since manifested
the greatest sorrow and repentance.
The magistrate observed that he had received many
letters from itindl)-disposed persons, who had offered to
receive and assist the prisoner when she was set at liberty
and he would take care that those communications
should be placed before the judge who presided at the
trial. The prisoner was then committed to lievegate,

where she will receive all proper attention and kindness
from the governor and chaplain.
At the c,nclusion of the business cf the court, Mr.
Selfe alluded in feeiog terms to the death of the late
I►lr. Pelham, en whose character as an upright,
talented, and successful advocate, the rnazistrate he-
eta ed the most glowing eulogium.

THE GREAT GOLD ;ROBBERY. - PIEROE A
DEFENDANT IN THE LORD MAYOR'S COURT.

A good deal of interest was excited yesterday in the
Lord Mayor's Court by an an action—Saward, plain-
tiff ; garnishee, azd Pierce defendants—
arising out of the great gold robbery, the plaintiff being
an attorney, and brother to Saward, the barrister, known
otherwise as "Jem, the penman," now i❑ custody on a
charge of forgery, and whose name first became familiar
to the public through the evidence of Agar, the convict
witness for the-prosecution in that extraordinary case.
It will be remembered that, according to Agar's stat-
ment at the time of his apprehension upon a charge of
forgery he invested upwards of 2,0001. (some of the
money being a part of his share in the proceeds of the
robbery) in Turkish Binds, and left them in Pierce's
care for the use of his child and her mother, his former
mistress, Fanny Kay, according to whose evidence,
Pierce, after Agar's conviction, turned her and her
child out of doors, retaining possession of the property,
including a gold watch, with Agar's initials, and a pic-
ture of Windsor Castle on its face, for his own use; an
act which led her to divulge what she knew in connection
with the robbery, and which being communicated to
Agar himself, caused him to make a full revelation in
connection with the robbery and his accomplices in its
perpetration.

The case now before the court was one of attachmen
of these furkish Bonds.

Mr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Henry James for the garnishee.
The plaintiff sought to recover from out the custody
of the police-officer, Williamson, certain property
alleged to belong to the defendant.
.It appeared that, upon the arrest of Pierce, William-
son, who is the officer to whom the case is entrusted,
proceeded to Pierce's residence at Kilburn, for the pur-
pose of discovering anything that might be there in con-
nexion with the case, and that upon searching it he found
three 5001. Six per Cent. Turkish Bonds, four 1001.
ditto, six 501. do., and a gold watch and guard, with
three seals, the watch bearing the initials " E.R.A." It
was this property that the plaintiff sought to make an
swerable for the payment of his debt, upon the proof of
the fact, Williamson admitting, upon cross-examination,
that he took the property, and held it without Pierce's
consent.

Mr. James took objection, first, that the goods were
goods in the hands of a trespasser ; and secondty, that
they were goods in the custody of the law, and therefore
not attachable.

The Recorder held the second objection to be valid,
and that the goods were not attachable—at all events
until after the trial of the defendant.
A good deal of speculation has been excited by the
connexion of the plaintiff in this case with Saward, the
alleged forger, and it is supposed that he acted on behalf
of Agar's child.
