POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-110USE.—Yesterday, James . Burt, the
young man who was on Friday last charged with haring
robbed a young woman,
_after having pretended that he
would marry her, and who at the same time was under a
promise to marry a poor gill then lying-in, was brought up
for a second examination.

Amy Rowland, a nuts', who attends upon women in
Tabour, deposed, that Mary Pitt, whom the prisoner visited,
and to whose lodging he had conveyed the furniture of the
other young woman, had died on Saturday morning last.
Witness believed that the young patient died of the fright
occasioned by the visit of her rival and another woman.—
Mary Pitt had been delivered of a fine boy on Saturday
week. She felt but indifferently between the day of her
accouchement and Thursday last, on which day she told
witness that she was much better than she had felt since
her illness. The two unwelcome visitors, however, came
on that day, and witness hearing them make a noise in the
room, requested that they would not disturb the patient,
who was in a very precarious condition. An officer who
accompanied them promised the witness that every thing
should be right, and that no disturbance should take place.
It was, however, impossible to prevent the noise and dis-
turbance between the women. At about four o'clock on
Saturday morning the patient expired, after having suf-
fered a great deal between the unfortunate visit and that
time. Every thing; that could be done for her was done.
The surgeon who attended her was of opinion that she died
of the agitation occasioned by the violence of the two
women.

The prisoner was remanded.
The girl who made the charge against him of having
robbed her did not appear, assurance having been given to
her that she should be the wife now that the rival was dead.

Trio young men, named Court and Kirle, were brought
up charged with having broken into and plundered the
house of Mr. Peckham, livery gable keeper, in Coleman-
street.

The mother of Kirle defied any one to say a word against
her son, and protested his innocence.
Kirle asserted that he entered for the purpose of seizing
the thieves. The other said the same thing. Remanded.
GUILDHALL.—The list of prisoners contained thirty-
four names, but the greater part of the charges were of a
trifling nature, and the only case that excited any interest
was one of assault against C. Jones, J. Lonyntore, J.
Soper, J. Sutherland, J. Ross, D. Bruce, T. Robinson,
and .L Robertson, a party of bookbinders, who were ac-
cused of having beaten and kicked sundry watchmen of the
parishes of St. Dunstan, St. Andrew, Holborn, and St.
Bride.

Mr. Butterworth, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Harmer, Com-
mon Councilmen of the Ward, and Mr. Savage, of Fetter-
lane, attended to support the watchmen.
A young woman named Sarah Sharp, who had in time,
past done some acts of kindness to Jones and his family,
met him in Fetter-lane, about one o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing, and he asked her where she was going. She said she
was going home, being a married woman ; and without
giving him any other offence, he struck her, and she
screamed murder, to obtain immediate assistance. Davis,
a watchman, ran up to them, and received charge of Jones,
who said, upon being collared, that he would " floor" the
watchman " like a cock," and showed an intention to re-
sist; whereupon Davis tripped up his heels, and threw him
upon the pavement. He had hardly reached the ground
however, when a body of from 20 to 30 bookbinders set
upon the watchman, and knocked him down, and beat and
kicked hint. A waiter ran to assist Davis, and was knocked
down by Ur:galore, who also knocked down the watch-
man as soon as he recovered from the first fall. Jones
kicked the young woman in her side, and Soper threatened
her. Some watchmen came up, and each was successively
beset by half a dozen of the fellows, who beat and threw him
down. The cries of the vanquished, and the shoats of the
victors, spread dismay throughout the neighbourhood, and
the noise was so astounding, that nearly all the watchmen in
the three parishes flocked to the spot. Only eight of the
affrayers were, however, eventually• secured, and the watch-
men were in such a flurry at the time, that they could speak
to three only of the prisoners having actually struck them.
Sir CHARLES FLOWER ordered the three who had been
identified (Jones, Soper, and Longmore) to find bail, and
dismissed the others with an admonition. Soper and
Longmore immediately produced their sureties, and were
liberated.

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday George _Miles, a man
30 years of age, and of respectable exterior, was brought
before Sir RICHARD BIRN/E, charged by Peter Agar, one
of the beadles of St. Martin's parish, with standing in the
porch of St. Martin's church, while the congregation were
retiring, after hearing a discourse from the Right Rev. the
Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry, and distributing a num-
ber of printed papers, having for their object to bring the
Established Religion into discredit, and urging several se-
rious charges against it. The same individual, it will be
recollected, has been taken into custody for similar attempts
on other occasions. He once endeavoured to corrupt the
soldiery at Woolwich, by distributing seditious and inflam-
matory tracts amongst them.
Agar stated, that he saw the prisoner in the porch sf the
church with a handful of papers., which he was in the act
of distributing. When the witness ascertained their ten-
dency, he took him into custody.
Sir R. BIRNIE said, that it would be dangerous to suffer
such a man to go at large, without having security for his
good behaviour. He then directed the prisoner to put in
hail to answer the charge at the sessions. The Magistrate
added, that he hoped the parish of St. Martin would do its
duty by prosecuting the prisoner.
The prisoner seas removed from the bar, sad lockel up
in default of bail.
A dashing young blood, who said that he lived in Down-
ing-street, Westminster, charged a fashionably dressed
young woman with slapping his face for no cause whatever.
What have you to say to this? said the Magistrate.

I am a married woman, your NVoiehip, said the lady,
and am no Miss. She then said, that on Sunday evening
she left home to take a walk with her husband. Unfor-
tunately, said she, I happened to contradict him, in con-
eenuence of which be left me to find my way home. In
passing through Parliament-streat, the complainant over-
took see, and very rudely insisted that I should take his
arra.
And did you do so? said the Magistrate.
Of course, when I was forced to do bO, said the lady ;
I had no other choice. He continued to annoy me very
much, she added, until at last be importuned me to such
an excess, and used such gross and disgusting language,
that 1 was forced to slap his face in self-defence.
Sir R. lE—You did
knocked bins down it would have been better still.—(To
the complainant)—Why, what could have induced you to
bring a charge like this before aIN lagistrate? Go about

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday two men, named Vi'clby
and Jones, were brought before. the Sitting illagistrate, J.
T. HONE, Esq., en the following charge
-
Hannah Ryan, a servant in the family of Mr. Haynes,
of Kennington-lane, stated, that on Wednesday last, hav-
ing gone out on an errand, she was accosted by Welby and
another man, the former of whom claimed a former ac-
quaintance with her, and after sonic conversation request-
ed that he might be permitted to call and see her at her
master's house. The girl, it appeared, not considering
the impropriety of the thing, the prisoner being a young
fellow of rather genteel appearance and address, acquiesced,
and be was invited telake tea with her on Sunday even-
ing. In the interim, however, information was given
to Keyse, the superintendent of the Surrey watch-
house, that the two prisoners had planned to rob
Mr. Haynes's house on the afternoon which it was
proposed they were to take tea with the servant girl, and
for the accomp/islnent of their intentions it was agreed
between them that one should secure the girl while his
confederate proceeded into the different apartments of time
house, and plundered them of all the valuable property
they contained, the prisonershaving previously ascertained
that Mr. and Mrs. Haynes were in the habit of riding out
in their carriage every day, and not returning home uLtii
'late hour to dinner. Keyse, upon being made acquainted
