POLICE INTELLIGENCE:

' GUILMIALL.L-(THIS DAY.
On Alderman Atkins taking his seat, a man was placed
at the bar who had been brought up, a prisoner, from the
Compter. A person immediately stepped into the witness
boX 'and stated that the prisoner had lodged in his house
for a considerable time. He left him last night, but not
without his knowledge. After he was gone witness ex-
amined the lodging, and missed some property, which he
supposed the prisoner had taken, and, in consequence
went to an officer, and had him take❑ into custody, and
brought to the Compter, but the defendant had since
satisfied him on the subject, and he had no charge to
prefer against him.
The Alder Man called for the officer who had taken the
defendant to prison, and asked him by what authority he
•
had done it.

The officer replied; that the witness had given him in
charge for a felony.
The Alderman asked the nflicer did he see any felony
committed. Did he not know that the Magistrates sat
there every day to grant warrants when charges were
properly supported; but if he deprived men" of their
i;bert.y o
them, he might be assured he would soon be deprived of
his own. The practice was becoming common amongst con-
stables,,but it was completely unlawful,. and 010.:L Lr. ilia..

The infallible Dr. Etidk-paid a morning' vi,it to this
office, with his (laughter, ,whu,isitii,,Oar.ged with asAaulr-
ing Lir maid servant. Miss goy!, however, had cari-
ous cross charges of, neglecin. cookery, as a set-otr
against the servant.
• On the Magistrate's asking Dr..Eady's profession, a
dead silence ensued, and curious eyes began to stare at
the Doctor, who marvelled most devoutly what to say to
such an: unconstitutional question, the radical tendency of
which the, very stones would ,alllWer.,

The servant at length opened Pandora's box, saying,
that she believed he was in some doctoring concern. '—
The Doctor felt highly indignant at being cut up so un-
ceremoniously by an unlettered quack, and described his
profession at full length to the great edification and amuse-
ment of the company, till the walls re-echoed his fame.
The Magistrates were so pleased with his oration, that
they dismissed the complaint of the girl.

.MARLBOROUGH-STREET--(Tnis WAY.)
Two decent-looking women were charged by a Mrs.
Anderson with assaulting her. She stated, that one of the
prisoners had some time since lived servant With her, and
since her departure had owned to having robbed, her.
Mrs. A. in consequence, charged her with the robbery yes-
terday morning, at Hatton-garden. The Magistrate there
was on the point of committing her, when witness inter-
ceded; and she Was discharged.
•Magistrate.—So you then gave the Magistrate the
trouble of enquiry, and then would not prosecute 1'
Witness—l only wished to recover my property, with-
out injuring , the prisoner. She, however, came to my
house,: with the, woman now beside her, this morning,
abused and struck me, and I gave her in charge.
Owe of the prisoners here said, that Mrs, A. was in
.a state of elevation at the time, but she denied that, and
the Magistrate ordered both to find bail.
An elderly woman was brought from St. Giles's watch..
house, charged with having a bundle of wet linen, without
being able to give a satisfactory account of it.
She said her name was Evans, that she had slept in
lodging-house the night before, but could not tell where.
That she met with a woman whom she knew in Seven.
dials, and who invited her home to her lodging, but said
she had left her key at the place where she had been
washing, and asked her to hold the linen while she fetched
it. She did so, and the watchman took her directly after-
wards.

As the prisoner had told several different stories she
was remanded for a week. The linen was very good, and
marked F.
