POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL. —Zlizabeth Neale, a middle-aged woman, was
charged with stealing a bed, bolster, and pillows, not by actually,
taking them out of the owner's possession against his will, or with-
out his consent, but by obtaining them by fraud.
it appeared the prisoner has been living apart from her husband
for the last three years, latterly On an allowance of 10s. a week,
and a few days ago she determined upon exercising the legal right
of married ladies living in her state, to obtain necessaries suitable
to her rank, leaving the payment of them to be enforced from her
husband. In pursuance of this plan, she hired a room in Cloth-
fair on Monday last, and on Tuesday she walked into the shop of
Mr. Timothy, an upholsterer, in Barbican, selected the above-
mentioned articles, value V. 10s., and directed theM to be sent to
her lodgings. The articles were carried there, and deposited in
her room up stairs, and she then prevailed on the porter to apply
for the money to her husband, a colourman, residing in Maiden-
lane, Battle-bridge, where, however, he soon ascertained the state
of things, that payment would be resisted, and that the prisoner
had duped many tradesmen of their property in the same way.

the prisoner had been his wife 25 years; but within the last se-
ven years she bad spent bin► 4,0001. and reduced him from af-

Ma allowance to her from (Os. to 10a_ a week, since May, under
the aanetion of the Ituttert-gorden magistrates, by whom elm bad
been committed to Clerkemycll prison above twenty times, for
violent and bad conduct.
The prisoner, in reply, insisted he was as still a man of good'
property, alleged he was cohabiting with his female servant, and
that when she married him with a fortune of 9001. he was but a

private in the Lancashire Militia.
Mr. Neale exclaimed, with great solemnity, "I never had a
'farthing with her, and all she has uttered are hellish falsehoods,
to help me God! - I could bring a hundred people to refute what
idir has stated."
• Sir Pirrisa Unmet was of opinion a case, for commitment had
been made out, because the prisonor hail not told the truth when
she obtained the goods, and he therefore sent her to Newgate for
trial.

ISAACS r. Mow, jun.—ln this MS Mr. Jonas Moses, the
son and heir of a portly Israelite, who dtaleth out blue ruin to the
wicked at the sign of the Red Lion, in Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane,
and heareth, among the police, the cognomen of "Money Moils,"
was brought up on a warrant, charging him with having griev-
ously assaulted ouu Mr. Henry Isaacs, within the purlieus of the
Court of King's Bench, in the Guildhall of the city of London,
against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King.
When the MK was called on, and Mr. Henry Isaacs, the com-
plainant, had taken his place in the witness box, the attendant
Marshalman, presuming from the latter half of his name, that he
must he an Israelite, was about to swear him upon the Hebrew
Bible; whereupon Mr. Money MOM, rushing lbrward, exclaim-
ed-4f Oh ! not upon that—not upon that—not upon that—don't
shwear him upon that ; for he's only half a Jsw
Mr. Money Moses's anxiety, however, was quite gratuitous;
for Henry ISAACS no sooner perceived that it was the Hebrew Bibles
than be desired to be sworn upon the New Testament; which
having been done, he deposed as follows :—" May it please your
Worship, last week I was subpicnaed in the Court of King's
Bench to give evidence in a cause in which the assignees of
Creed, a bankrupt, brought an action against old Mr. Moses

here--"
" Who do you call e/d Mr. Moses ? you vagabond !" cried
Mr. Money Moses, interrupting him.
Mr. .Henry Isaacs proceeded :—‘" The assignees of Creed, a
bankrupt, brought an action against Mr. Mo4es, the Other, for
recoverytlyt
of the value of certain goods which he had purchs,
from the bankrupt, after he had committed an act of bankruptcy.
In that action I was the principal witness for the assignees, and
the. Jury gave a verdict of 1501. damages against Mr. Moses the
-father; which so offended the whole family, that Miss Moses
here—"
" Miss Moses !! !" cried Mr. Moses, the father—" your
,Lordship,--ahe isn't Miss Moses at all, but a respectable married
woman ; she was Miss Moses, but she is Mrs. Abrahams now--
awl he knows it, only he wants to insult her !"
" Let the fool go on, father ;" said Mrs. Abraham..
Mr. Henry Imam once snore proceeded :—" Well then, they
were so much offended at the verdict, that Mrs. Abraham., the
moment the verdict was given, and whilst we were still in Court,
cried out to all the people round about us—' Take care of your
pockets !—he'l nothing else but a pickpocket !' When 1 came
out of Court, some time after, I found Mrs. Abrahams and her
brother, Air. Noses, the eon, waiting for me; but I took no
notice of thsin ; which made Mrs. Abrahams so angry, that she
flew at me and scratched my face, as your Worship sees. I said
to Mrs. Abrahams, who was again beginning to abuse me, I'll
not be used in this manner, for I'll go over to the justice-room
and get a warrant against you.' ' Then you may get a warrant
for me al.° said her brother, Mr. Moses, jun. ; and so saying,
he gave me a violent blow on the bead which felled me to the
ground."
Mr. John Herbert Foulke, came forward as a Vvitness of all this
violence.

A great number of other respectable witnesses offered their tee-
timoly to the same effect.
Sir Pares Lanais 'laid, this was no ordinary assault.
And thereupon Mr. Moses, jun. r,
, was held to bail for his appea
arum to answer it, at the Quarter Seseions. , .
