POLICE

INTELLIGENCE.

(SATURDAY.)

BOW-STREET.

Mr. John Wilson, of the Two Spies, in Catherine-
street, Strand, was summoned before Mr. Jardine, at
the instance of the police, for having, on the 27th of
June, at a quater-past one in the morning, unlawfully
permitted and suffered a number of prostitutes to meet
together and remain in his house, contrary to the
statute.

Mr. Duncombe, solicitor to the Protection Society,
/who appeared for the defendant, applied that the case
might stand over till a future day, on the grounds that
his client had entered two appeals against two former
convictions.

Mr. JARDINE objected to such a course, as there was
no point of law raised to induce him to bind over the de-
fendant to the sessions.
Mr. Duncombe considered the point was sufficiently
strong to make such an application, as it could be proved
that the persons in question were only standing before
the bar.

Mr. JARDINE said he could not be bound by any act
of the magistrates at quarter-sessions, although he
should by the Court of Queen's Bench, in case his con-
viction was quashed, and, therefore, he eould not attend
to such an application.
Mr.,Duncoinbe submitted that when such an opinion
was entertained
.another magistrate ought to hear the
case.

Mr. JARDINE said he certainly would not ask any
other magistrate to hear any case brought before him
for decision, and the evidence might be proceeded with.
Inspector Black, F division, then proved that he found
in front of the bar several men and women, some of
whom were drunk and quarreling together. The con-
stable, who accompanied him pointed out five of the wo-
men as well-known prostitutes, to which circumstance
he drew the attention of the landlady who was behind
the bar, and having then left, the women shortly after
came out, accompanied by a man.
In answer to Mr. Duncombe, witness said he was in the
house only about two minutes, and the constable could
merely confirm his testimony.
Mr. JARDINE said, as there was no further evidence,
he should dismiss the. complaint, as there was a mixed
company in the house, and the women in question left
the moment they were desired.
Mrs. Evans, landlady of the Old Drury, in Bridges-
street, Covent-garden, appeared to answer a similar
complaint.
Mr Clarkson attended for the defendant.

Inspector Black said that at a quarter past one o'clock
on the 27th ult. he found seven prostitutes, who were
pointed out to the man who kept the door, but he in-
stantly turned them out, saying, "Now,ladies, you must
go," which they did. •
Mr. TWYTORD—WitS the door locked when you went
in ? Witness—The door wai on the chain, and a man
sat inside.

Mr. Twyronn—How 'Ohl; were.you watching;; Wit-
ness replied he was in the street' about a quarter of an
hour.

In answer to Mr. Clarkson, witness said he was in the
house two or three minutes, and the women were only
talking among themselves.
Mr. Clarkson said there was evidently no case
against his client, and it was a most a most blirefaced
..proceeding to have persons taken away from their busi-
ness to answer such frivolous complaints.
Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, said the inspector was
not to blame, as his business was only to make a report
of what he saw.
Mr. TWYFORD said the remark applied very properly
to the inspector's superior, who directed him to take out
a summons against the defendant for allowing females
to remain two minutes in her house, and he should
therefore direct that the complaint should be dismissed.
Mr. Brown, landlord of a public-house in Necastle-
court, attended upon a similar complaint ; and, after
nearing a portion of the evidence, it was ordered to be
dismissed, as beinAfgaiE
frivolousßTß -as,ITE
and vexatious.
tious.
L
Mr. Fenson, landlord of the Fir Tree, in Church-lane,
Whitechapel, waited on Mr. Norton, the sitting magis-
trate, and requested his advice under the . following
circumstances :

Mr. Jenson stated that, like many of his fellow-trades-
men in the metropolis and elsewhere, he had, at the
request of many friends and customers, established two
Derby Sweeps—one consisting of 75 members, at.l/. 10s.
each, for which the holder of the first horse was to
receive 501., and the second 25/. ; and the other. con-
sisting of the same number of members, at 15s. each,
for which the holder of the first horse was to receive
251., and the second 12L 10s. An objection, as it was
well known, had been made to Running Rein, the first
horse in the Derby race, on acconntof his disqualification,
and the consequence was that a protest had been en-
tered by the holder of the second horse (Orlando)
against his paying the higher prize to the owners of the
tickets for Running Rein, and the matter was allowed
to stand over to await the issue of the late trial in the
Court of Exchequer. The observations of the Learned
Judge and the finding of the jury in the case would, he
(Mr. Jenson) thought, have finally settled the matter,
and he had, in consequence, given notice of his inten-
tion in a few days to pay the first prize to the holders of
Orlando, and the second to lonian; and this he felt the
more secure in doing, as he had no printed rules upon
'which exceptions might be taken, but since he had done
so he had received the following written notice from the
holders of Running Rein in both sweeps:—
" I being a member of the Derby Sweepstakes held at
your house, and having drawn Running Rein as the first or
winning horse in the said stakes, amounting to fifty pounds,
which amount remains in your hands, and the said Runipg
Rein having come in first in the said Derby Stakes, I apprise
you that I claim the said stakes (notwithstanding the sham
issue tried between Mr. Wood and Colonel Peel, before Baron
Alderson in the Court of Exchequer, concluded on the 2nd

vised is necessary.—Yours, &c.

" To Mr. W. Jenson, the stake-holder.
Dated the 3d day of July, 1844."
Mr. Jenson, in continuation, said that he had, of
course, refused to comply with the terms of this notice,
as well as the second, which was couched in precisely the
same words ; and the consequence was, that he was
threatened with an action at lave for the recovery of both
amounts, to be tried at the next: assizes, with the venue
laid at Liverpool. This was evidently a threat to compel
him, as he.conceived most unjustly, to pay the money,
and wished to have his Worship's opinion on the sub-
Wet.

g*
likr: NORTON replied that he very much doubted
whether any person could be foaled who had the temerity
to bring an action in such 'a case, after what had hap-
pned. They. should recollect that the honest opinion of
a judge and a jury was to be taken. in the matter, and that
there were such things happened .as verdicts for defen-
dants, and plaintiffs being saddled'. with enormous costs.
• Mr. Jenson _observed that there were a number of
licenseid victuallers in the same situation as he was him-
self, and it was exceedingly annoying to be obliged to
put up wikh the abuse of parties interested,, while he
'
himself could have no motive in the affair beyond doing
'that which was fair and just. They, the publicans, were
not, however, the

A VISIT to the CONSPIRATORS.
A letter in the Nation affords a striking picture of
Mr. O'Connell and his companions. The visitor says—
"l met the Great Man in the garden, walking with his
gifted daughter; Mrs. Fitzsimon, and followed by a bri-
gade of her sons, as manly and gallant-looking boys as I
ever beheld. I never saw anybody look less like a beaten
man, or more like a conqueror. I was most anxious to
hear of his health and habits ; for a sedentary life would
inevitably ruin the constitution of a man who has done
more work ' to his own hand,' than any man in Europe.
Both go on as they ought. lie rises in the morning
about seven o'clock, and walks an hour in the garden ;
hears mass at eight, and breakfasts at nine. From
ten till twelve he usually devotes to his papers and
letters, and the mid-day of all the visiting-days is fully
occupied with his friends. He dines with the other
Conspirators' at five o'clock, and gives the evening to
exercise and reflection, or to reading. While I walked
about the gardens he was waited upon by a Catholic
Bishop from a distant colony of England, an Indepen-
dent Minister from Munster, a Stipendiary Magistrate,
a Presbyterian Deputation from Banbridge, the Mayor
of Cork, a poor Christian Brother, who stole a day from
his generous labours to see the Liberator,' a Birming-
ham merchant, and an artist from Belgium, who came
to the country to make an historical picture of the im-
prisonment."

The visitor addressed himself to Mr. Ray—" As he is
comptroller of the household, I questioned him whether
the extraordinary reports flying through town, of pre-
sents arriving to the prisoners by every coach from the
country, were true. Take yesterday for example,'
said he. In the morning we breakfasted off a table
covered with damask, from the looms of Mr. Reed, of
Banbridge, who had just presented a table-cloth of ex-
quisite beauty, ornamented with the arms of Ireland,
and the insignia of repeal, to each of the conspirators.'
We had gunpowder tea from Raheny Cottage, sugar
from Castlebaggot, and barnbracs from Town-councillor
Andrews. At dinner we had fish from the Bishop of
Waterford and Lord Cloncurry, and fruit for the dessert
from the garden of the convicted conspirator, Father
Tierney, down in the black North. This is one day—you
may imagine the rest, and guess whether we can be gloomy
with sympathy coming home hourly to our door.' As
I passsee. the gate, the Governor, Mr. Purdon (whose
name the French papers have, by a happy accident,
blundered into Monsieur Pardon!), just arrived on a hack
car, and I witnessed the most characteristic scene
of the day. Here, my boy,' said the Governor, who is
a frank, good-humwred looking man of about fifty,
here is your fare, and you earned it honestly—you did
not spare your whip-cord.' The driver put it away
hastily with his hand, and indicated that he would not
have it. What !' cried the Governor, do you re-
fuse nearly double your regular fare? how much do
you want?' Nothing, sir,' replied the young patriot,
but the pleasure of serving your honour, who, they tell
me, is so kind to the Liberator.' "

INTERCOURSE AMONG IRISH-
MEN IN LONDON.

On Saturday a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen
connected with Ireland was held at the Freemasons'
Tavern, for the purpose of taking into conisderation the
best means of promoting social and intellectual inter-
course among Irishmen in London. The Marquis of
Clanricarde took the chair. Among the noblemen and
gentlemen present were—Lord Castlereagh, Lord Trim-
leston, Sir Denham Moreys, M.P., Colonel Dawson
Dainer, M.P., Edward Grogan, Esq., M.P., Emerson
Tennent, Esq., M.P., Morgan John O'Connell, Esq.,
M.P., Benjamin Chapman, Esq., M.P., &e. The an-
nouncement of the names of several noblemen and gen-
tlemen (among the former Lord Rossmore), wh• were
unavoidably absent, was made to the meeting. They all
intimated their approbation of the objects of the meet-
ing, and pledged themselves to do all they could to pro-
mote those objects.
The Noble Chairman having opened the meeting,
Mr. E. TENNENT rose to move the first resolution which
was to the effect that a society be formed to be called
" The Irish Society," for the purpose of promoting social
and intellectual intercourse among Irishmen, irrespective
of religious differences. The Hon. Gentleman, in moving
this resolution, adverted to the isolated condition in
which young Irishmen of talent found themselves when
they came to London. The evils of this isolation were
numerous and great. The remedy for those evils
would be found in the society it was that day in-
tended to form. Scotland had a similar society—
so had Wales—and so had many of the counties of Eng-
land; but there was no Irish interest. All that was pro-
posed that day was that those friendly to such a
society should enrol their names as members.
It would be for a committee, to be subsequently
appointed, to frame the rules and regulations,
and make the other necessary preliminary prepa-
rations for the constitution of the society. It was
intended, in addition to periodical meetings of its mem-
bers, that there should be one or two conversasiones
during the season, which would be open to all, and at
which there would be exhibitions of Irish genius,
whether in science or the arts. There could be no
doubt that the effect of such •a society would be to
lend a helping hand to many a young man of supe-
rior talent, who might otherwise have had no op-
portunies of making his merits known to the world. It
was intended that the yearly sum which the mem-
bers will hare to pay should be two guineas. All
differences in politics or religion were to be buried in the
dust. They would be wholly unknown to the society.
Mr. Emerson Tennent, after some further observations
in a similar strain, concluded by moving the resolution,
which, with several others, chiefly of a formal kind, was
put and unanimously adopted. The treasurer announced
that 1361. had already been received in the shape of en-
trance fees, from gentlemen who had sent in their names
as members. A vote of thanks having been given to the
Noble Chairman, the meeting separated.
