POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MA RLBOROUG H-STREET.—Three fellows, named
John Lawson, John Rowe, and Joseph Holcombe, were
yesterday held to bail at this office on charges of an inde-
cent nature. The last named prisoner, who was in the
service of Mr. Hovenden, a barrister, was ordered to give
24, hours' notice of bail, and the two others 48 hours'
notice.

Mr. Hovenden attended to hear how far the charge
against his servant appeared to be true, but on .hearing the
evidence he said not a word in the fellow's favour.

MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—A distinguished artist,
living on North Bank, St. John's Wood, complained to
Mr. RAWLINSON of a most extraordinary nuisance, which
has for ten or twelve nights disturbed the peace of his family.
Some being, who eludes the vigilance of seven watch-
men, scales the garden-wall, destroys the back windows of
the house, and leaves no mark of footstep behind.
Mr. RAwLiNsoN advised the complainant to bring hi•
firearms into use, and said other measures should be taken
to detect the offender.

Miss Eliza Hardlow Daniel was charged by Captain
Digby Willoughby, upon oath, that he goes in danger of
his life, or some bodily harm that she will do, or cause to
be done unto him.

It appeared by the Captain's statement, that Miss Daniel
had been living under his protection for four years. She
returned from Ramsgate on Friday last, and not liking the
apartments which he had engaged for her in Newnbam-
street, she threatened to blow out his brains. _

The conduct of the lady was very violent before the Ma-
gistrate : " I am," said she, " a soldier's daughter, my
father is a Colonel in the army, and you (to Capt. Wil-
loughby) are a superannuated old beast."
The Captain said his object was to get possession of a
child, which, in consequence of ill-treatment, received
from its mother, he expected would be an idiot; he had
unfortunately formed a connexion with her, and allowed
her 101. per month, with which she was not contented ;
and although she now abused him, and called him by op-
probrious names, he had received letters in which she ad-
dressed him as a most lovely man.
,4 Well done, Captain Willoughby," replied Miss Daniel ;
" when you can produce such letters, I will give up the
point ; but before I part with my baby, I will part with my
life, you good for nothing aid —.
The lady expressed a wish to return to her lodgings at
Ramsgate, and Mr. RAWLINSON advised the Captain to
furnish her with the means of so doing. He gave her 21.
" Now," said Miss Daniel, " if you meet me, and speak to.
me, or look at me, by G—d I will shoot you." " She is
mad, Sir," said the Captain.
Mr. RAWLINSON—If you please I will commit her,
unless she finds bail.

Captain Willoughby—To prison ?-11Ir. RAWLINSON
—Yes; and the child must go with her. I have no
power to separate them.
Captain Willoughby—l wish to get rid of the concern
altogether. Her relations say " Good God, you will be
killed, and you can support the child for one third of the
money."
Mr. RawuNsoN advised the Captain to send the lady
back to Ramsgate, and get some friend to make peace
between them.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday James Richards,
a journeyman silk-weaver, was brought befos the Ma-
gistrates (Mr. BROUGHTON and Mr. Twyroan), ',charged
with cutting 100 yards of silk from his loom, which had
been intrusted to him for manufacture by his employers,
Messrs. Stone and Brooks, of Spital-square.
The prisoner said it was his first offence, and he was
sorry for so treating his employers, but was driven to it
by the low rate of wages.
The Magistrates sentenced the prisoner to three months'
hard labour in the House of Correction, and to be once
publicly whipped in Bethnal-green-road.
TOWN-HALL, SOUTH WA RK. —Two brothers, John
and George Knight, were brought before Mr. Alderman
ANSLEY, who took the chair for Mr. Alderman J. J.
SMITH, charged with a robbery on the person of Mr. Jas.
Hutchins, on the establishment of the King's depot, Tooley-
street, on Saturday night last.
The prisoneis declared the whole was a fabrication. The
worthy ALDERMAN, however' thought it his duty to com-
mit them both for trial; and hold their wives, who attend-
ed the hearing, to bail, in two responsible sureties of 40/.
each, to be answerable for their forthcoming at the sessions.
UNION-HALL.--Yesterday a man named James
Brown, who attends the Surrey Theatre with fruit, was
brought up in custody, charged with "having grossly as-
saulted a gentleman, named Stibberd, in the pit of that
theatre. . .

Hamilton, the constable who attends the theatre, de-
scribed that the proprietor, in consequence of what had
happened, declared his intention of discharging him from
the theatre. _ _

The Mactsraata observed, that independent of the de
fendant's dismissal from his situation, he should hold him
to bail for the gross assault he had committed on Mr.
Stibberd, if that gentleman wished to press the case against
him.
The complainant, however, conceiving that the defend-
ant's discharge horn the situation Was a sufficient punish-
ment, particularly as he had a wife and family, consented
to his discharge.
Great complaint was made of the nuisance cr latertby
the persons who sell fruit in the theatre.
Three men named James W;Ciams, William Feltham,
and George Whitfield, belonging to the. Mitcham gang,
were brought up in custody, charged under the following
circumstances :--

It will be recollected, three men were examined at this
office some days since, on a charge of robbing the bleaching
grounds of Mr. Reynolds, at Nlitcham. Since their ap-
prehension, two more of the gang were taken into custody
for breaking into a publican's house in the same place, and
on the present occasion the three prisoners were taken by
West, the constable of Mitcham. They were observed
lurking about the village at two o'clock in the morning,
and on being followed were discovered in the act of break-
ing into a house, but were disturbed by the barking of a
dog, when they attempted to escape from the constable,
but were secured.
They were committed for three months each to. Brixton,
the Magistrate Observing that they should have plenty of
work for the remainder of the winter.

An Irish boy was brought up by Sharpe, the constable of
Christchurch, who stated, that he apprehended the de-
fendant close to the church on Sunday, selling fruit, during
service. He was discharged.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-WILLIAM
TAYLOR, hair-dresser and perfumer in Crieff, had, a few
days ago, written to his parents, who reside in Dollar,
that he intended to visit them on Hansel Monday, at the
same time stating, that he would be at Castle Campbell by
ten o'clock on Sunday forenoon. His parents were anxi-
ously looking out for him, when, about three o'clock in the
afternoon of the same day, a shepherd called at the house,
to communicate the, sad tidings that he had discovered
their son WILLIAM lying in a perishing state in the hills.
The distracted father went off immediately to rescue him
from his impending fate. On the father reaching the spot
where his son lay, the latter having recognised his parent,
was merely able to stretch out his feeble arm to bid him an
eternal adieu. The young man was immediately carried
home, but almost instantly expired. His premature death
was occasioned by fatigue and the inclemency of the
weather.—Edinburgh Evening CoUtani.

ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.---Yesterday, its con-
sequence of information received by the 11Iagistrates of the
Head Office, of a daring attack made on Gen. SMITH'S
carriage, on last Tuesday evening, et Donnybrook, Mr.
Goontssotr, Chief Constable of College-street Division of
P.olice, received directions to proceed to Gen. SMITH'S re-
'l4.olleg Stillorgan, to make the necessary inquiry into the
en-e9mstance, when it appeared that on the night in quits-
tioti, at rthotit a quartet past seven o'clock, as the General's
lady aria atightet, Miss Sztiztri were returning home from
Dublin, three ruffiansaallis d ant on the road, from the Fair
Greets of Donnybrook, one of wham fired at the coachman ;
the bullet pained through the cape of his coat, but did not in-
jure him; one of the httets instantly took fright at the
report of the shot, and set off at full gallop. The coach-
man whipped the other up the hill by Mr. Monaissorea
house, and thus they providentially escaped, as the fellows
did not pursue them. After the shot was fired, one of the
villains exclaimed, —. the fellow, he is not hit yet, or
the horses would stop." It was evidently their intention
to shoot the coachman, and then rob the ladies inside.
The coachman said it was so dark he could not distinguish
their dress or features, and he had the presence of mind
not to alarm the ladies, or inform them of what had oc-
curred until they arrived safely at home. Mrs. &MITI(
heard the shot, but thought it was the act of some persons
who were amusing themselves, and had no evil intention
towards her or tier daughter,—Dublin Morning Post.
