POLICE INLELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS ACT.—AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT RE-
QUIRING ALTERATION.—LSO DAMAGE.—TWO low-looking
females, named Mary Davis and Mary Smith, and whose
conduct in the cell was abominable, were charged, before
Mr. Tyrwhitt, with wilfully breaking the windows at
Messrs. Fiver and Co., Regent-street, perfumers and
glovers, of the value of £5O.
James Henry Cortead, a postman, said about half-past
seven the previous evening he was passing down Regent-
street, when ho saw Smith throw a large stone at one of
the windows at Messrs, Fivers, and this was followed imme-
diately by Davis throwing a second stone at another pane
of glass, and also smashing it. Davis said she had dens
it, and would do it again when she came out.
Mr. Jules Lauvergpat, one of the firm of Piver and Co.,
said the value of the glass was £5O.
Sergeant Kay, 293 A, said they told him they would do

it again.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he trusted the act would be altered.
It was a most wilful and malicious act. They must pay a
fine of £5 each or be committed for two months.

[This ease shows one of the anomalies of the law. The
magistrate having no power, whatever the amount of
damage or however outrageous the conduct of the person
inflicting it, to impose a heavier flue than ,£5,, that being
the extent of his jurisdiction, the heaviest punishment in
default being two months' imprisonment.]
