POLICE IN TELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-S MEET.

CHARGE OF FRAUD.—James Moss, of No. 82,
Chancery-lane, bookmaker, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt on a warrant, for receiving £1 from Mr.
John Willis, naturalist, of Great St. Andrew-street,
Seven Dials, with intent to defraud him of the
same.

Mr. Froggatt appeared for the prosecution.
The prosecutor said that on the 25th September
the prisoner called on him and told him that he had
the lease of a house at No. 22, Essex-road,
Islington, for which he had paid £lOO, at the same
time showing him a piece of paper—he could not
say whether it was a receipt or not—with £lOO
written on it. As he (prosecutor) was desirous of
taking the shop of the house No. 22, Essex-road,
for a fortnight, for the purposes connected with his
business, the prisoner offered to let him have it for
a fortnight for £2, and upon the faith of the pri-
soner having the power to let the shop, he agreed
to take it, and paid the prisoner £1 as a deposit.
He subsequently ascertained from Mr. Winter, the
landlord, that the prisoner never had A lease of
the house, and was not in possession of the
house at the time he paid him the money.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said
that he went to the house and found it shut up.

Mr. Froggatt said that he had expected other
witnesses to be in attendance, but as they were
not he should have to ask for a remand and apply
for summonses for their attendance.

The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he did
not tell him that he had purchased the lease for £lOO,
and show him the receipt for the money.
The prosecutor said the prisoner showed him a
piece of paper, but he could not say what it was.
The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he
did not give him an I 0 U for the £l, and the pro-
secutor said he did not.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.
THREATENING TO MURDER.—Sarah Magness, a
low-looking woman, was brought before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, charged with threatening
to murder Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, of No. 53, Dean-
street, Soho.
The complainant said that on Wednesday last the
prisoner came into the passage of the house where
she resided, and swore she would take her life, at
the same time making use of threatening language.
The prisoner then took up a large and sharp stone,
and threw it at her with great force, but fortunately
it missed her head, at which it was aimed.

Sergeant Cole, 23 C, proved apprehending the
prisoner, who was well known to him, and who had
constantly been in prison. When he told the pri-
soner the charge, she said, " I'll have her - life;
and either have six months, or be hanged at New-
gate for her."
Barnes, the goaler, said the prisoner was such a
drunken, worthless character, that her husband
could not live with her, but allowed her a main-
tenance.

The only answer to the charge the prisoner made
was to abuse the complainant in a scurrilous
manner.

Sergeant Cole said that, from what he knew of
the prisoner, he believed that she was likely to carry
out her threat.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that from the prisoner's de-
meanour he could clearly see that she was a dan-
gerous woman, who had too much money to spend.
He considered her a woman very likely to do what
she said, and with the view of protecting her he
would order her to find bail to keep the peace for
four months.
