POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

M ARLBOROUGH-S MEET.

AN UNHAPPY PAlR.—lienry Wilson, a young
man, described as an enameller, of No. 23, Cumber-
land-street, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr.
Mansfield with assaulting his wife Caroline.
On being sworn the complainant said I don't
want to lock my husband up.
Mr. Mansfield—What do you charge him with ?
Complainant (sullenly)—Knocking me about.
Mr. Mansfield—Was he drunk ?

Complainant—Not very. He struck me vio-
lently in the mouth when he came home between
twelve and one this morning. I had had no quarrel
with him.

Mr. Mansfield—How old are you, and how ong
have you been married ?

Complainant-1 am 23 years of age, he is 25,
and we have been married two years, and had ono
child, but it is dead.

Prisoner—Have I struck you before ?
Complainant—Yes, you have. I don't want to
lock him up, only to leave him.

Mr. Mansfield—What is he?
Complainant—An enameller, and has plenty of
trade.

Mr. Mansfield —lt is bad enough for a brick
layer or bricklayers' labourer to get drunk, but still
worse for a high class and skilled workman.

Police-constable, 68 E---The complainant told
me that her husband had struck her and threatened
to take her life with a knife, and the prisoner then
struck the complainant in the mouth and I took
him into custody. He was not very drunk.
The Prisoner—We had some words, and I struck
her, but I am very sorry for it.
Mr. Mansfield—lt is extremely-wrong under any
provocation to strike a woman, and still more to
strike a woman you have sworn to protect. What
is to become of such young people? "I am unwilling
to widen the breach which already exists between
you by sending you to prison. You will no doubt
separate, and perhaps when you are older come
together again and regret your fully in having
wasted those years which might have been. spcJt
happily together. I shall order you to enter into
your own bail in 10 to appear in four weeks to
answer any complaint that may be made.
A BRACE OF QUEER CHARACTERS.—Two rough"
looking young fellows named John Brooks and
James Shutt, were charged before Mr. Mansfield
with loitering in Saville-row, supposed for the
purpose of committing a felony.
From the evidence of Philip Shrives, a plain
clothes officer of the C division, it appeared that
last night between nine and ten o'clock he saw the
prisoners in Saville-row, near Mr. Poole's, the
tailor, with several others busily engaged in trying
the pockets of gentlemen, and after watching them
for three-quarters of an hour he took them into
custody. At the station Shrives found upon each
of them a mask used by thieves to disguise there'
selves with.

Schutt said he was not wearing the mask ; it
was in his pocket, and he only had it on for a
lark.

Brooks said that he only went out with the other
young gentlemen to see the illuminations.

The prisoners, who gave their addresses in the
neighbourhood of Lisson-grove, were remanded.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A MEDICAL MA`r.
—A lady named Fiduccia made the following singu-
lar application to Mr. Arnold, the sitting magis-
trate :

Applicant said that Dr. Macintosh, of No. L 4,
Bronipton-road, had attended her mother and her-
self for two years, and she held receipts to prove
it. On Saturday night, at 12 o'clock, her mother.
was dangerously ill, and she went to Dr. Macintosh
and rang the night-bell ; a top window was opened
and the contents of a water-jug thrown over her.
She went back, and, finding her mother worse,
returned to Dr. Macintosh's; he refused to coo"
and see her mother, who was getting worse, and
he abused and menaced her, and, in fact, almost
pushed her out of the house.
Mr. Arnold asked the object of the application.

Applicant said to get a summons against the per-
son who threw the water; it was a woman. Dr•
Macintosh was a single man, and only had one ser-
vant, as she believed, and it was very strange tbst
he should put his head out of the same bed-rooll
window as the woman that threw water. Could
not his worship give her also some advice respect-
ing his refusal to attend her sick mother.

Mr. Arnold said it was very extraordinary COn'
duct, but he could not assist her with regard to the
refusal to attend her mother, If Dr. Macintosh
used any personal violence or threats he would
grant her a summons, but he could not compel hire
o give the name of the person who threw the
water ; if applicant could ascertain the womao
name she should have a summons.

Applicant said she was frightened to go near the
house, Dr. Macintosh was so menacing in his man"
ner.

DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB A POST-OFFICE TlLL'''.
Ennis Quick, a boy about 14 years of age, w 34
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempt'
ing to steal money from a till.
Robert Briant said he was clerk to Mr. Augusta
Shrood, postmaster, in Three Colt-street, Lime'
house, which was also a money order-office and
post-office savings bank. At seven o'clock 154
night he left the office for a few minutes. He had
just before received £lOO in notes which ho de'
posited in the till. There was altogether about
£2OO in the till, including stamps and £4O in geld'
The postmaster was in his bed very ill, and the whole
charge of the office devolved upon him. A minute a
two after leaving the office he received information
from the servant which induced him to retura
hastily, and upon entering the office he saw t"
prisoner behind the counter on his hands and knees'
with his hand on the till, and about to remove it;
He seized the prisoner, who said, " Let me go;
have not taken anything." He gave the prisoner
into custody. He had seen the prisoner before.
Mr. Paget—Did you lock the till before you left
the office ?

Witness—Certainly, sir, and put the key in of
pocket.

John Mansfield, 598, said that he took the P'°
soner into custody. He knew his face well.
Mr. Paget--And so do I; the boy's face is ved
familiar to me.
Roche, the gaoler of the Court, said the prisooet
had been convicted before.
The clerk, Briant, was recalled, and, in answer t 3
a question, said he knocked the prisoner's
against the till.
Mr. Paget—Make some inquiries about the boy.
I shall remand him till Monday next.
