POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-1-10USE.—Shapschi Walkand, a German
Jew, charged his assistant in business, Rachel Nelson,
with a robbery. The Jew stuck to the charge with an
amazing pertinacity. " I vas tiled to spend this voman
out with caps to sell for :me, and she rob me. She be a
thief, and a rogue, and a swindler," said he.
Sir C. S. IlerNvica extracted from the Jew, after a deal
of labour, evidence that the prisoner had received money
upon his account which she did not pay over to him, and
that she bad been long in his employment, for which she
received a liberal per centage as agent.
The prisoner said that she had often transacted business
for the complainant to the amount of as much as 201., and
brought to him regularly the sums which she had received.
She had, she said, however, been unfortunate on this occa-
sion, for after having received the amount of a sale which
she had made, and put the money in her pocket, somehow
or other the pocket full from her person, and when it was
found no money was in it.
Alderman Sir C. S. HUNTER represented to the Jew
that the girl might have lost the money.
The Jew—Vat you say ! Lost my money ! No, no !
she rob me ; and I vill have de law."

The ALDERMAN-We have not proof enough to convict
her if she is guilty.
The Jew—e'er yell, 1 vill have de law.
The prisoner—Your Worship, he said as how that he
would hang me, or transport me, if he could.
The Jew—Ver yell, so I vill. You rob me, you big tief.
I vill have you lockup in de jail, and transported, if you
don't give me de money.
Here prisoner said that she had no means in the world,
if she was detained in prison, of paying the sum she owed,
but if she was allowed to be at liberty she would do what
she could to pay the amount.
The ALnurotaN—Come Shapsehi, chew that you are
not a descendant of old Shylock. Trust to her; she will
pay you.

The Jew—No, no, Ino trust to her. To gaol vid her,
or let her give me my money. I vill have vat she robbed
me of, or she shall leave de country or de world.
The ALureme,w—What, then, like old Shylock, you
will have " the due and forfeit of your bond ?"
The Jew—Aye, I vill have my money from that voman
there.

The ALDERMAN—Then hear me, Shylock, there is no
proof of guilt, and therefore we shall discharge her, Jew.
--(Laughter.)
Shap.,chi's countenance fell upon hearing this deter-
mination. He thrust his finger through his long beard,
muttered something in his native language, and left the
Justice-room.

The ALDERMAN.-.-I suppose he is of opinion that lam
not a Daniel come to judgment.
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday, Mr. Clarke, a respect-
able inhabitant of the parish of St. Clement Danes, residing
in Surrey-street, Strand, was summoned before Mr. HALLS
and Mr. MiNsittm. by the officers of the above parish,
to show cause why he refused to act as overseer of the
poor, to which office he has recently been elected by the
vestry en the nomination of the churchwardens, pursuant
to the provisions of the 41th of Elizabeth, cap. 2.
Mr. Clarke contended that there were a great number
of persons in the parish, and many of them residents of
the street in which lie lived, who were never called upon
to fill any parochial office.
Mr. Collier admitted that 'such might be the fact, but,
as vestry clerk, he was obliged to select from the parish.
ioners, for the office of overseers, such persons as were
responsible for the trust reposed in them by the parish,
Mr. Clarke's respectability, and his general habits of busi-
ness, caused him to be nominated on the present occasion.
Mr. Clarke endeavoured once more to avoid the liability
of serving as overseer of the poor, but the magistrates were
of opinion that they were hound to appoint him to that
office, his qualifications for which were so numerous.
Mr. Clarke.—Then I shall pay the fine, as I cannot
serve new with convenience to myself.
Mr. HALLS (with surprise).—What fine? Pray how
is it applied? Mr. Collier.—lt goes into the church-
warden's account.

Mr. lIALLs.—Let us refer to the Act of Parliament, and
see what it says upon the subject. Mr. Collier.-011, I
admit, Sir, that the Act of Parliament says nothing about
the fine.

Mr. HALLS.--I perceive that it does not, and for that
reason I request that the fine may not be mentioned again.
The MAGISTRATES then gave it as their opinion, that Mr.
Clarke should in his proper person serve the office of over-
seer of the poor for one year, for the parish of St. Clement
D anes.

Mr. Clarke.—lf such be the opinion of the Bench, I
have nothing more to urge, but that I object to the course
which the churchwardens have taken, and I shall most as-
suredly resist my nomination, for which purpose I shall
immediately advise with counsel. The parties then
wit norms'.

HATTON-GARDEN.—John EavestitOr, a hair-dres-
ser, residing at No. .52, George's-street, Battle-bridge,
was last night brought up to this office in custody of Wm.
Colton, a constable, and charged before the sitting Magis-
trate, Mr. ROGERS, on suspicion of having perpetrated a
murder in Bedfordshire, in the autumn of 1821.

Charles Carter, landlord of the Greyhound Inn, and one
of the overseers of the parish of Leighton Buzzard, in the
county of Bedford, stated, that on the 15th of August,
1821, a female, altogether unknown in that part of the
country, was found murdered in Black-grove-wood, be-
tween Tilsworth and Dunstable. It was to no purpose
that every possible inquiry and investigation was then made
to find out some clue to the murderer. The person, the
character, and the connexions of the murdered female,
were wholly unknown, and in consequence of that, chiefly,
the matter remained enveloped in impenetrable mystery
till last summer, when certain circumstances transpired
which, combined together, were eminently calculated to
affix strong suspicions on the prisoner. The prisoner is a
native of Tilsworth, where he resided with his family at
the time of the murder, and where he continued
to reside for 18 months subsequent to that event.
lie then left Tilsworth, and coming up to London, got
into business, and remained here since. Upon receiving
the first grounds of suspicion tending to implicate the pri-
soner, he (Carter) wrote to Mr. Minshull, the Magistrate
of Bow-street, informing him of the facts and circum-
stances of the case, and requesting that some measures
might be adopted for his apprehension, but Mr. Stafford,
the chief clerk, by order of the Magistrate, returned an
answer that this could not well be effected without the
Magistrates having before them snch a detail of facts as
may be clear and satisfactory, or such evidence as might
implicate the suspected person in the guilt of the murder.
He then, by advice of the inhabitants of Leighton Buz-
zard, came up himself to London, bringing with him his
principal evidence, and having this afternoon found out
the prisoner's residence, near Battle-bridge, succeeded in
apprehending him at the Northumberland Arms.
John Morgan, a shoemaker, living in the parish of
Leighton Buzzard, now came forward, and stated that he
recollected the circumstances of the murder, which, from
its mysterious nature; produced the most alarming sensa-
tions throughout the country. It was done on the night
after the fair of Dunstable, and it was supposed that the
female must have been at the fair, as by her dress she was
recognised, and said to have been seen when the fair was
over, on the road between Dunstable and Tileworth, in
company with a young man about five feet nine inches
high, of a sallow complexion, and wearing du appearance
of a gentleman's servant. Though this description of the
supposed murderer suited well with the prisoner at the time
yet there was no notice taken of him, nor did the least
suspicion go to impeach him thee. Shortly after this,
however, prisoner going one day into Morgan's shop, a
conversation took place between him and Morgan upon the
subject of the murder, when Morgan asked him if he had
seen the body of the female ; he replied in the negative,
and said, he had indeed no curiosity to see it, though he
was that day reaping for his brother in Gig-hill, quite
convenient to Black-grove Wood, the scene of bloodshed.
He said he had received a letter from London, informing
him that his wife was dead, and interred but a few days
previously at Chelsea; that she was an Irishwoman; who
had no friends in this country, was in a stateof greatdes-
titution for some time past, and he must now go up 'to
London to make inquiry into the circumstances in
which she died. It was not at all known in the
place of his birth that he was married, and this cir-
cumstance had a tendency to excite the supicions of Mr.
Morgan, who immediately communicated them to 'Carter,
the overseer of the parish, who conducted the funeral and
interment of the woman who was murdered. The matter
rested so, however, till a few months ago, when upon fur-
ther inquiry it was found that he was married again.—
Carter then wrote a letter, directed it to the prisoner, and
sent it by the hands of a Miss Philips, .a native of Tile-
worth, whose mother resides in St. John's, Clerkenwell,
requesting of her at the same time to take the trouble of
finding the prisoner out, and to deliver to him the letter;
the contents of which were a desire that he should :send a
satisfactory account of his late wife's death, and the woman
to whom he was at present married. Upon this the sister
of his present wife, accompanied by another female, went
down to Tilsworth, and having men Mr. Morgan, she '
communicated with him upon the subject of the letter, and
denied all knowledge of her brother's marriage with any
other woman besides her own sister, or the death of his
supposed wife; but from the suggestion of the female by

HULL MARKET.-March 11.
We have again to notice a very short supply of Wheat
from the farmers, and the few fine samples shewn were
taken off freely at last week's currency ; no alteration in
other qualities ; old foreign remains steady at our quota-
tions. Very little passing in Oats except for seed, whidl
qualities sell at our last week's prices; the greater part of
the above import consists chiefly of Irish, which are offer-
ing at 255. per quarter, but very few sales made. Beans
are very dull sale to-day, but not lower. Pease Is. to 2s.
per quarter lower. Some few parcels of Barley offering
from the coast at 325. ; but we do not hear of any sales,
Lincolnshire and Yorkshire also very dull sale, and rather
lower. Rapeseed does not give way in price, but very little
doing in it. Linseed continues dull. .

CATTLE 111 A RE ET.-The dull termination of last week's
sales seemed to produce a damping effect upon to-day's
market, both in point of numbers and dealing ; the ahem
was as follows :-147 three-year-olds, 50 two-year-olds,
9 Queys, and 11 Cows-total 217. The three and four-
year-old were all Galloways, and consisted of various lots,
differing much from each other, like last week, in bone
and condition ; it was rather late in the day before any
business was done, and then at no advance on last week's
prices; the best lot which we heard of being disposed
brought about I I/. per head, another 101., and from that
business was transacted so low as 8/. 10s. The two-year-
olds were a middling show, but did not seem either to at-
tract attention or to take the market, and no sales of con-
sequence took place. A few farrow Cows, all in excel-
lent condition, were bought at from 91. to 12/., or 131.
per head.
PORK Maas ST.—One hundred and seven carts; though
the show to-day differed from last week in point of num-
bers, Pork looked much better, from the frosty state of the
weather; prices likewise advanced a little, or more pro-
perly speaking, considerably ; good carcases went off rea-
dily at from ss. 10d. to 6s. 2d. per stone of 161b5., and
in some instances 6s. 3d. was given ; Sows, thin and in-
fer! Pork, sold at from ss. 6d. to ss. 9d. We think 61.
or 6s. Id. may be stated as the average for good Pork ;
every thing was clearest off early, and both buyers and
sellers seemed satisfied with the result of the market.

LIVE PlGS.—Eight carts ; little, if any thing, was done
in the Pig market to-day.

The prevalence of the small pox is very great
at Torrington. Several children have died theta within
the last few days ; and though the medical gentlemen, per-
sons in places of authority, and the well-infonneet part of
the inhabitants, are decidedly in favour of vaccination, an
unfortunate mania exists for innoculation.—Exeter Alfred.
