POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET —A young man, of
very respectable appearance, named Mullins, was yester-
day brought from St. James's watch-house, before Mr.
CoNam.,the sitting Magistrate, upon the following charge:
The Marquis of Londonderry's coachman stated, that
as he was returning home with his Lordship's carriage
empty the evening before, about seven o'clock, after leav-
ing the Marquis at the City of London tavern, where his
Lordship went to attend the anniversary festival of St.
Patrick, in passing along Piccadilly slowly, he was called
to by a person in the street, who said that a man was
stealing the "holders," that is, the straps by which the
footman holds behind the carriage. There being no foot-
man with the carriage at the time, the witness jumped
from his box, and found the prisoner already in the cus-
tody of the person who had given the alarm, and witness
took out of the prisoner's hands the holders produced,
which had been unbuckled from behind the carriage.
The prisoner was then given in charge, and taken to the
watch-house, on the way to which he asked forgiveness for
what he had done, and begged to be let go.
The prisoner's father (a highly respectable tradesman
at the west end of the town) and mother attended, and
seemed deeply distressed at the situation of their son, of
whom they spoke most favourably, and said they never
knew him to be guilty or suspected of a dishonest act i❑
his life.

The Magistrate said that, however unpleasant the duty
was, he must send the prisoner to take his trial for, the
offence.

The prisoner was then fully committed for trial, and
the coachman bound over to prosecute ; but at the earnest
entreaty of the prisoner's parents that he might be admitted'
to bail, the Magistrate said that he would take time to
consider whether or net he would exercise in that respect
the discretion given by Mr. Peel's new act.
The holders, which are of a woollen texture, are but of
little value, althougk to the eye, particularly at night,:they
have the appearance of rich lace.

MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—On Monday night Mr.
William Osborn, of Burn's-place, Chapel-street, Edge-
ware-road, brought a blue and yellow cotton handkerchief,
stained with blood, and a rugged bludgeon, to the Office,
and informed Mr. RAWLINSON that they were found by
two boys on Sunday, in the Green-lanes, near Blackhorse-
fields, Paddington. The bludgeon had no marks of blood
remaining, but the boys told Mr. Osborn pieces of flesh
were sticking to it when they picked it up, and they were
washed away in consequence of their using it to get some-
thing out of the canal. Mr. Osborn said be had examined
the place where they were found ; there was blood among
t the grass,

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday Thomas Ward, a me-
dical student belonging to Guy's Hospital, was brought
before the sitting Magistrate, M. SWABEY, Esq. on the
following charge :
Mr. Toombs, landlord of the Queen's Head in Little
Charlotte-street. Blackfriars, stated, that between eight and
nine •o'clock on the previous night, the defendant, accom-
panied by a friend, entered the house, and having walked
into the parlour and taken a seat there, called for some
spirits and water. Having been served with the liquor,
which was tolerably soon disposed of, the defendant, with.
out the slightest provocation, rose from the chair, and
challenged out any one in the company to fight. In the
act of rising to exhibit his prowess in the art of pugilism,
the pot-valiant hero upset the table, smashed all the
glasses, and spilled the liquor. The landlord hearing the
noise, proceeded into the room, for the purpose of getting
rid of such a noisy customer. The moment he interfered,
he was attacked by the defendant, who struck him twice;
and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he was at
length taken to the watch-house. While in the watch-
house, the defendant's conduct was described by Sharp, the
night constable, as most outrageous.
The defendant, who pleaded intoxication, was fined
1/. Ss., besides being threatened with indictment by some
of the parties whom he assaulted.

On Thursday morning, AMBROSE SHEAR-
MAN, Esq. of Patrick-street, entertained the members of
the Harrier Club, of this city, to a splendid -.4.ljeane,
at his
villa at Ballyfrunk, in this county. After breakfast, the
dogs were put on, and soon roused puss. The gentlemen
had three capital runs, in the last of which, after an extra-
ordinary chase, puss lay down exhausted in a dyke, but
the dogs were consideratelydrawn off, and she was left alive,
as a hare of singularly sporting merit.---.Leinster Journal.
