POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

GUILDHALL,—Mary Paddington,' the widow, wile wit
committed to the House of Correction for twelve months, a few
for having given birth to an illegitimate child,
days ago, at the instance of the parish officers of St. Bartholo-
mew-the-Great,
although it had not become chargeable to the parish, was again
brought before the Magistrates • who had committed bd. (Sir
PETER LAUEIIt and Mr. Alderman Aoster), with a view to
considering the

been chargeable. From the rank in life of the parties, it was, how-
ever, likely to become chargeable, and the parish claimed the pro-
tection the'order would give' them against theburthen. Sir John
Perring had, on a former day, doubted the legality of inter-
fering until the child became actually burthensorue, but
he had, since that time, discovered a modern ON ellgetlY 'n
point, Rex r. Hartitigton, argued in Hilary term, 1816; where
one of the grounds urged for setting aside an order wits, that it
did not state that the child was actually ehargeable, but only that,
it was "likely to become chargeable," and the Court sustaele°
the order, holding the ground of adjudication so given to be sub'tient, on the authority of the cases Rex v. Luffe, 8 East's Rep'
193, and Rex-r. Matthews, 2 Salk. 476.
The City Solicitor said, Sir John Perrioi was mistaken as to
the illegality of the proposed proceeding., The law, no done,
stood as Mr. Gale had stated it, and the Magistrates might note
make the order, if Mary Puddington was ready to give evidence.
Mary was immediately sworn, ordered to name. end point her
finger at the father, and lie making no objection thereto, was ad'

The latitude of construction now given to the law will excite
considerable dread of the appointment of en offieione parish ollicery
