POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—George Blanchard was charged with steal-
ing two chests of tea from a Mr. Bradbury, a grocer in White-
chapel. The prisoner bargained for the tea on Monday morning,
as if he was a country dealer, and ordered it to be sent to the
White Hart, Giltspur-street, promising to pay ready money on
delivery. Mr. Bradbury accompanied the goods, and Blanchard,
after treating him with two bottles of wine, tendered him, instead
of 411. 185. 6d. in cash, a 40/. bill of his (complainant's) own,
and the odd Money in cash. The bill was due in April last, but
it had not been endorsed by the drawer. Mr. Bradbury and a
Mr. Burt had been in partnership, but the former had purchased
the business, paying Burt partly in cash and partly in bills, of
which the one in question was the only bill unpaid, and which had
been dishonoured, because Burt now owed him double the amount.
Burt however raised 371. on the bill, and the holder devised the
scheme of sending Blanchard, a stranger, to purchase goods, and
pay for them with the over-due bill, which was carried into effect,
and tea secured, but Blanchard was given into custody. Mr.
Alderman Lucas held the taking not to be felonious, but ordered
the prisoner to find bail for an assault.

130 W-STREET.—Mr. Frederick Bradley was charged with
threatening the life of his wife, the eldest daughter of Lady
Hawke. The examination took, place in the private room, but
the following is the substance of the proceedings:--The marriage
was, it appeared, a love-match, but they nevertheless separated in
about 18 months, the lady complaining of the husband's want
of temper and irregular habits, and the husband finding like
fault with the lady, and betraying suspicion of an improper
intimacy between her and a former admirer (Mr. W.) After
the separation, Mr. W. and the Lady lived openly together,
and the latter accused her husband of visiting her repeatedly,
in the full possession of the above fact, sometimes for the
purpose of coaxing her, at others only to obtain money from her.
Though she was continually changing her lodgings, he always
traced her, and having related to her landlady the circumstances,
the latter had, at one of his visits, told him he was living on his
wife's prostitution. This enraged him, and he called out at the
foot of the stairs to his wife, 4, Cotne down, you wretch, I'll tear
you piecemeal—l will be the death. of you;" which so alarmed
Mrs. Bradley, that she was about to jump out of the window. This
was the ground of the complaint ; and after the parties had been
criminating and recriminating each other for an hour, the Magis-
trates ordered the husband to enter into his own recognizances in
1001. to keep the peace.

MARY-LA-BONNE.—Mr. Kent, baker, of Hampstead, was
fined in the mitigated penalty for not having in his possession
scales, &c. to weigh his bread previous to delivery. Mr. K. said,
he understood the Act had expired, but Johnson, the notorious in-
former, who had brought the charge, said, the 6th and 7th sections
had been repealed, but the rest of the Act was perpetual; and, by
the 106th section, Bakers were compaled to weigh bread pre-
vious to delivery, whether required to do so by their customers
or not.

J. Gullinr, driver of a Paddington coach, was admitted to
bail, charged with wilfully driving against a Kensington stage, by
which the latter was overturned, and the lives of the passengers
endangered.
