POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.—Henry Puckridge, Harvey
Caulfield, a man both deaf and dumb, and Sarah Cloud,
were yesterday brought up in custody of two officers of this
establishment, charged before Mr. Sergeant SELLON and
Mr. ROGERS with riot and assault, on the nights of the
Bth and 1 1 th inst.

After much confusion and disorder in the office,:the
Magistrates agreed to hold the defendants to bail, and upon
the suggestion of Mr. Adolphus ordered them to give 24
hours' notice.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--On Wednesday even-
ing, while Seifert, the person in custody on a charge of as-
saulting his wife, was yet locked up in default of bail in one
of the cells at the back of the office, his friend and solicitor,
Mr. Pinero, of London-street, came to see him, and Sco-
field and Clements, the officers who had the warrant to
execute against Seifert, took that opportunity of complain-
ing of Mi. Pinero himself before the Magistrate, for aiding
in the escape of Seffert from the stables when they went
there to apprehend him.
Mr. Pinero denied the charge.
The MAGisTRATE said that Mr. Pinero, by his very im-

proper conduct towards the officers, had left himself liable
to an indictment, and the officers might take that proceed-
ing against him if they thought proper.
The Magistrate gave no order for Mr. Pinero to see
Seffert ; and as he used very abusive language to the officers,
not one of them would open the gate to admit him, and
he was obliged to depart without seeing his friend, who
was soon after r►moved to prison, where he remained for
the might, but was yesterday bailed.
WORSHIP-STREET..—Yesterday James Mason and
John Atkinson were fully committed for trial, charged
with stealing 51b. of pork; as was also Henry Garnsey,
on a charge of stealing 11b. of bacon.

William Mason was charged with indecently exposing
his person to a little girl eleven years of age. It is impos-
sible, of course, to go into the particulars. The defendant
was held to bail to answer at the sessions.

UNION-HALL.--A young lad, named Montague, was
brought before the sitting magistrate, charged with having
committed a robbery.

He was yesterday tried at the Surrey sessions, and sen-
tenced to seven years' transportation.
In the course of the day Thomas Cheshire, alias " Jack
Ketch," attended at the office, accompanied by his daughter,
a married woman, for the purpose of complaining against
the parish-officers of Lambeth, who, he alleged, had refused
to give her any relief in her distress, her husband being
for the last two years confined in a mad-house.
Wben Jack Ketch had described the reduced circum-
stances of his daughter, the Magistrate expressed some sur-
prise, observing, that the least her father could do in such
a case, was to support her himself, without allowing her to
I make application for relief to the parish.
Jack Ketch—Lord bless you, Sir, it's out of my power
to support her. She has two children, and I never could
find a livi©g for them. You know, Sir, (added he, shak-
ing his head,) business is very slack with me of late.
Mr. Hone—Have you any other children?--None, Sir,
thank God ; but I have my old woman to look after.
Mr. Hose—lf you have only a wife to support, I think
you must be in circumstances to assist your own daughter.
—Jack Ketch--I have only a guinea a week from the city
of London, and its bard enough for two people to make
out on that.

Mr. STAPLES (the Chief Clerk.)—You don't mean to
say that your income is only at the rate of a guinea a week ?
Your business is not confined to the city.—Jack Ketch--
I goes into the country sonactimes—not often.
Mr. STAPLES—You had something to do in this county
very recently in your line.—Jack Ketch (scratching his
head, )—Ay, Sir, that was a God-send, to be sure ; but
they do not come so often as to make a man in my profes-
sion independent enough to support a large family.
It was ultimately decided, that the daughter of the
"finisher of the law" should attend on a future day, When
the parish-officers were present, and in the interim her fa-
ther promised to support her.
