POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL. —Henry Logan and Patrick and David
Briggs, all Irishmen, were charged with en extraordinary assault.
Logan, it seems, came running out of Moor-lane into Fore-
street, Cripplegate, early on Sunday morning, meting « Murder !
Thieves ! Murder !" and Voll, a watchman, immediately offering
his services, was led by Logan into one of the crannies in that lane.
Here, however, be suddenly knocked the watchman down, and
endeavoured to strangle him, renewing ut time same time his cries
of murder and thieves. A Mr. Hamlet, attracted by the noise,
ventured to the epot, and, while in a quandary, whether he should
assist Logan, who was frying murder, or the watchman, who was
being strangled, he was felled in a moment by a blow with a poker
wows the nose, from Patrick, who darted net half naked from one
of the house., and while Hamlet wee lying insensible on the pave-
ment, he received some kicks from the other prisoner. A suf-
ficient reinforcement then came up to release Voll, and secure the
prisoners. . .

- The prisoners were all eager to have their version of the story
heard, but Sir Charles, to whom the task of listening is irksome
and painful, would only hear what trade they followed, in answer
to his question 4. What are you?" and committed them, in default
of bail, for the assault.
Marparet Kendall, and
Thomas Halls, Eaq.
Thomas-S
charged with 'atolling 60 sovereigns, the property of a boot-maker
residing in Drury-lane.
lienehißEEfT/,'—we rMeabr oauglftyebilefore
It appeared that on Friday he went to the 'flank of England,
and sold out some stock which produced 711. es. 9d., that he
paid some trifling debts, and brought home 60 sovereigns, which
he gave to his wife, Maria Guerie, at a little after ten o'clock
he theu went to bed, and at twelve o'clock he was called up by
his wits and informed by her he was robbed ; that his wife was
in a delicate state of health, and the prisoner Myers was employed
to nurse her—...
the proeecutor then got up, and went to St. Martin's
watch-house., and procured a constable----the prisoner saw him
give the money to his wife, and about half-past eleven o'clock aloe
went away, 'notwithstanding it was her duty to have remained all
night. The constable and himself with much difficulty traced her
to the house of the prisoners Kendall, in New Castle Court ; the
prisoner, Margaret Kendall, handed over to the constable 29 so-
l'creigns, which she said had been-given to her by Myers.
Anna Maguire, servant to the ptisoners Kendall, said that
Myers came to their house at half-past eleven o'clock, asked for
Mrs. Kendall, when aim flaw her, she (Myers) said, I have received
my husband's prize-money, and I will treat you with any thing

you like to drink, and if you' ent it I will lend you 201., which
she did. I did not see any more money with her, but she said
she had got more, she also said " my last cow has calved, and I
must be eareful."

Mary Ann Beaumont, a lodger in the howe, corroborated the
evidence of the last witness.

John Clark, the constable, said he had apprehended the pri-
soners, and produced four pairs of new shoes, two new bonnets,
and some other articles which had been purchased by Myers.
Mr. Harmer, who attended for the prisoners Kendall, sub-
mitted that there was no charge against his clients, and they
were removed from the bar.

The prisoner in her defence said, that the sovereigns had been
given to her by the prosecutor's wife. She was fully committed
for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute.

Yesterday Mr. Thompson, a respectable tradesman, carrying
on business in Edinburgh, appeared before THOMAS HALLS, Esq.
the Sitting Magistrate, bringing with him, in his own custody, a
genteel-looking young man, named James Small, whom he
charged with the crime of bigamy.
Mr. Thompson, whose statement, it should be observed, was
of a general nature, and not confined strictly within the rules of
legal evidence, informed the Magistrate, that on the 27th of Fe-
bruary last, the prisoner, after an acquaintance of some duration,
married his (Mr. Thompson's) daughter Anne, at Edinburgh.
They came to London soon after their marriage, and be had no
reason to be dissatisfied with the union which his daughter had
formed, until he learned that the prisoner, at the time that he
married Miss Thompson, haul a wife living. Such a piece of in-
formation of course produced the most active inquiry, and witness
ascertained that in the year 1819 the prisoner married one Amelia
Sharpe, and that subsequently to his union with witness's daugh-
ter, he had instituted proceedings with a view to obtain a divorce
from his lawful wife. Upon this discovery, the witness came to
London, and finding the prisoner with his wife iu Brewer-street,
Golden-square, ha took him into custody.
Mr. Thompson, who was assisted by Mr. Harmer, whom he
had retained for the prosecution, placed several documents before
Mr. Halls, in support of the charge which he had preferred against
the prisoner.
Mr. HALLS having read the documents, said that, however cor-
rect and legal they might be of themselves, they were not suf-
ficient to warrant the detention of the ' prisoner without other
evidence. If, however, Mr. Thompson was prepared to make an
affidavit, upon his belief that the prisoner hail committed the
crime imputed to him, he (Mr. Halls) would detain the prisoner
until a warrant could he obtained from the Lord Advocate to con-
vey him back to Scotland.

Mr. Thompson said the Lord Advocate happened at present
to he in London, and he would apply to him immediately for his
warrant.

Mr. HALLS said he would recommend him to do so, but be-
fore the prisoner could be detained, it would be meessary to pro-
duce something like legal proof.
Mr. Thompson then deposed that, from information he had
received, he had reason to believe, and did believe, that the pri-
soner had intermarried with his daughter Anne, his lawful wife
being at the time alive.
The prisoner, when asked if he had any thing to offer in his
defence, said, that at the time he contracted the marriage with
At Thompson, he thought his first wife was dead.
Mr. Thompson observed that this could not be true, inasmuch
as the prisoner had, subsequently to his second marriage, insti-
tuted proceedings to annul the first.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.

HATTON-GARDEN.—Cunmus CASE.-Yesterday, a mas-
culine figure named Betsy Angus, better known by the appella-
tion of Bet the out-and-outer, was brought before the sitting
Magistrate, charged with the following singular felony:— •
Mr. White,'who is what is termed a knacker, was the prose-
cutor. He said, that he bad lately purchased one of Vitbread's
hanimals, the finest orse as ever stood ; but it having gone dead
lame, and 'being attacked with sundry other incurable diseases,
Mr. Vitbread had consigned it to the dogs. He had deprived it,
of its tail and Inane, the hair of which was very fine, and some-
what valuable, and had placed it in bags, in order that he might
dispose of it to the best advantage. The beast was aubserently
slaughtered; and a day or two ago, he missed several pieces of
the flesh from the yard, besides the bag containing the hair. The
prisoner was suspected of purloining the property, and upon that
suspicion he had obtained a warrant, at this office, to search her
residence in Sharp's-alley, when, in the cellar, the officers found
a hag, in which was seine fine horse hair, and a large piece
of unboiled horse-flesh, which he strongly suspected to be his
property.

IClfaclsmATE—Prisoner, how do you get your living?
Prisoner—How do I get my living-17y, I deals in horse-.
flesh.

MAGISTRATT—How do you dispose of the flesh?
Prisoner,--I cuts it up, and sells it in ha'perth's to the cats.
MAGIrruATE..—WeII, how do you account for the bag, &c.,
being found in the cellar ?
Prisoner (in a manly voice)-- Vy, a fellow asked me to let him
leave it there fur ten minutes, but he never mine back again.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.

UNION-lIALL.—A Cu AN 10 LOG IST. —Among the minor
charges yesterday, was the following singular care:--Samuel
Newton, a young man, dressed in what is called shabby genteel
apparel, by trade, an umbrella-maker,, who, it seems, understands
the science of craniology, evinced a strong love for a scull, which
the sexton of Bermondsey Church had just dug up on Sunday
morning, us Mr. Newton was passing the Church-yard. He
viewed the scull, not as Hamlet did, when he beheld Yorick's,
but as one smitten with this new system of discovering the pro-
pensities of beings, from the " projections" which are found; upon
the cranium. fhis scull, Mr. Newton felt greatly disposed to
possess, on account of its having the organ of ametiveness so
strongly marked, and he having made some observations about its
being so peculiarly formed, seized and walked off with it. The
sexton followed him, and being joined by the beadle, both laid
hold of Mr. Newton, and rescued it from " his dutch." In the
struggle blows were excitants' ; Mr. N. however, was secured.

The beadle and sexton were in attendance to state their com-
plaints, which was clearly made out. The scull was produced,
and the churchwardens appeared on behalf of the parish, to pro-
secute, provided the Magistrate should be satisfied with the evi-
dence

His Worship having hood the evidence in support of the
charge, called upon the defendant to offer what he could in ex-
tenuation.

Mr. Newton, who spoke rather obscurely about the organ in
the scull, to which he hud token so great a fancy, admitted having
carried it oft; but, he said, the sexton had not offered any objec-
Con, when he expremed a wish So to do. Tie said, moreover,
that the beadle and the sexton had assaulted him in a most savage
manner, and he then felt the blows indicted on his &m end hands
by them.

The Magistrate said, that it was an indecent study, to give it
the mildest term, to carry away a scull from a church-yard in the
manner debcribed.

One of the Church wardens here begged to say, that Mr.
Newton laughed when he was told that he had been guilty of an
act of indecency.

Mr. Newton--Whit I mid was, that I understood by the word
"•iniler,ent,"athing whiCh outraged the feelings of others. Now,
I mean to say, that 'taking away that scull (pointing to it in the
beadle's hands) -was not an indecent thing. •
The Magistrate said, if the Pariah Authorities were determined
to press the charge of obstructing their officers in the execution of
their duty, he was bound to call upon him to put in bail.
The Overseers said, they thought it a fit ease to go to the
Sessions.

Mr. Newton was accordingly told that he Intuit procure two
housekeepers to be answerable for his appearance.
He had only one in Attendance (his father), but sent out for
►another. In the mean time, he was put into the custody of th.•
jailor.
