POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLWVOUGH-STREET.--A genteel looking
female, who stater! herself to be a native of Brunswick,
and housekeeper in the town establishment of the Earl of
Macclesfield, applied yesterday to F. A. Roe, Esq. the
sitting magistrate, to know if he could afford any redress of
the following grievance :—She had a sister, she said, who
had also been for a considerable time housekeeper in the
family of the Countess of Pembroke, and who, unfortu-
nately, some short time since married an Englishman, with
whom she went to reside at Paris, quitting her situation at
Lord Pembroke's. She had not, however, been long at
Paris before her husband, after obtaining from her all the
little property she possessed (about ,000/.), entirely de-
serted her, and left her in that capital altogether destitute,
until some friends assisted her and enabled her to come
again to this country, where Lady Pembroke, hearing her
misfortune, once more kindly took her back to her situa-
tion. Nothing was heard of the worthless husband until
within a few days, through the kind offices of Lord Gran-
cille, the English Ambassador at Paris, it has been learned
that he has returned to England, and the applicant now
wished to know if the Magistrate could have him appre-
hended and punished, for depriving her sister of her pro-
perty in the shameful manner he had done.
Mr. Roe said that the case was certainly a very hard one
on her sister, but he was sorry he could offer ker no re-
dress, as a Magistrate in this country had no power to in-
terfere in such cases.

The applicant, in retiring, said that • she thought the
law might afford her sister redress in this country, as it
would, under similar circumstances, in her own.

WORSHIP-STREET. —.Tames Hainex was brought
np yenerday, charged bv Charles Brain, under the follow-
ing circumstances :--The prosecutor was in the City-road
between 1 t and I?, o'clock on Saturday night, about half
drunk, looking out for a lodging, not wishing to go back to
Walthanntow that night, when the prisoner, in company
with another man, came up to him, and offered to toss for
half a pint of gin. The prosecutor took a shilling out of his
pocket, and
,tossed it up, when, on its falling to the ground
a
the prnnEr s companion took it up and ran away with it.

Three looms, belonging to a weaver at Bethnal-green,
who works for Mr. Wilson, were robbed of silk, on Sunday
Light, of the value of about 26/., during the temporary
absence of the weaver and his wife. The street door had
been opened, supposed with a false key. A lad, a
main
of
the weaver, who lived with him, was taken into custody on
suspicion, and was brought up yesterday, but there not
tieing evidence to affect him, he was discharged.
Another loom was robbed, on Saturday night, of silk
of
the value of between 15/. and 16/.

It is our painful duty to state, that the person
to whom we alluded in our last as having been apprehended
upon suspicion of child murder, put a period to his exist.
ence in the jail here on Monday last about nine o'clock in
the morning. While shaving himself he cut his throat
with the razor in such a shocking manner, as to survive
but a few minutes. The Magistrates instantly instituted
an inquiry into the circumstances of the case, and in the
evening his body was removed by his friends.—Stirling
