POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW- STREET. --Count Clement Castiglione, a man
of fortune, and connected with some families of the first
respectability in Italy, was brought to this office on Satur-
day, in the custody of Gardiner, before Mr. !Lew, to
show cause why he should not give security to the officers
of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, for the thain-
tenance of an illegitimate child, of which one Esther Shep-
pard had sworn that he was the father. The Count was
taken while at dinner, at seven o'clock, in the neighbour-
hood of Manchester-square, and appeared before the Ma-
gistrate in full dress. Be spoke its broken English, and
said he thought it hard that a gentleman should be gripped
and dragged about in such a manner for a mere faux pas.
The young woman was tall and handsome, and evidently a
superior woman. It appeared that in the latter end of
1826, the Count lived in Charles-street, Covent-garden,
and advertised for a housekeeper, Miss Sheppard applied,
and was engaged, and he swore such oaths of fidelity and
eternal love, that she yielded to his assaut eramour in a
very short time after she entered his house, and their in-
timacy continued from August till the February following,
during which period she travelled with the Count from
England to Brussels, and back to England. rle after-
wards deserted her, but very recently she discovered his
residence.

The Count was ordered to find sureties to prevent the
child becoming chargeable to the parish.
In this affair, Mr. Corder, the vestry-clerk of the parish,
appeared befirre Sir R. BMUS:and Mr. HALLS, and applied
for the warrant for the apprehension of the Count.
Mr. Roach (the late vestry•derk) protested against Mr.
Corder's meddling in the matter, which was only cogniza-
ble to the overseers, to whom he (Mr. Roach) was clerk.
Mr. Corder said he came forward to discharge a duty
incidental to the office for which he was paid.
Mr. HALLS said that, as a Magistrate, he knew of no
clerk, whether vestry-clerk or otherwise, in such an affair.
Mr. Roach—l am clerk to the overseers, and as such I
claim the right of suing out this warrant in their behalf.
Mr. Corder centended that he had the right, and that
it was a portion of the proper business of a vestry-clerk.
He demanded to know who appointed Mr. Roach?
Mr. Roach—The overseers and guardians of the poor.
Mr. Corder—By your acting the parish will be put to
expense, for you will not omit charging your costs.
Mr. Roach—Undoubtedly not.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Corder—But, by my acting, time parish will have
nothing to pay.
Mr. Haw—lt is immaterial to us by whom the busi-
ness is done. Which is your clerk, overseers?
Overseers—Mr. Roach, Sir. _

Sir R. BIRNIE retnarked, that in St. Martin's, and
many other parishes, the vestry-clerk, and clerk to the
overseers, were two distinct persons.
Mr. Ham,s_Undoubtedly they arc. 11, however, Mr.
Corder appears as a parishioner, that will alter the ques-
tion. Mr. Corder—Oh, no ; I appear only as a vestry-
clerk.

Mr. BALLS—The❑ you cannot he recognised.
Mr. Yockney (who happened to be present on other
bnsinees)—Pray, Sir, may I be at liberty to ask one ques-
tion? I am a parishioner, and a very old one.—Mr.
HALLS—Certainly.
Mr. Yockney—Mr. Corder has been chosen and is
paid by the parish at Loge to do their business. Now I
wish to know whether he or Mr. Roach, who has nothing
to do with the matter, is to act ? Mr. Roach—l am ap-
pointed to act as clerk,to the overseers, by the trustees
of the hoard for the guardianship of 'the poor.
Mr. Yockney—That is very odd ; I am one of the trus-
tees of that board, and I am ignorant of any such ap-
pointment.
Mr. Yockney (to the overseers)—Recollect that I now
caution you against putting the parish to expense ; if you
do so, it must he at your own risk ; for if I find a single
charge in your accounts for cash paid to Mr. Roach in this
business, I shall use every exertion in any power to prevent
your accounts passing until such item shall have been
struck out.
Mr. Roach—Never mind, never mind.
Mr. HALLS put an end to the discussion by saving, that
they could not be permitted to go on arguing in that manner
all day.
The parties then retired ; but some time afterwards,
Mr. Roach, accompanied by the overseers, obtained the
warrant in question.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--..Roggyny or a Sifor_

present. The register of the first marriage between John
Trott and Sarah Stevens, in Devonshire, in 1819, was pro-
' duced by the parish clerk. The second wife, Mary Whit-
ten, "was then examined, :nut said she was married to the

QUEEN-SQUARE.--CAtrsost To Lices:sen
ruaeeens..—e/ohn Sterols, landlord of the King's Arms,
Orchard.atroet, Westminster, appeared before D. W.
GREGORIE, LISq., charged by Dawkins, an officer belonging
to this establishment, With allowing persons to remain in
his house at ueseaeoriable !mute, and also with endeavour-
ing to corrupt him in the discharge of his duty.
Dawkins on Saturday night, about twenty minutes past
eleven o'clock, entered the defendant's 'Ouse, in company
with the patrol, and saw several persons there, some of
whom were playing at bagatelle.
Witness said that he should report what he Few', when
the defendant begged that he would not, at the same time
attempting to bribe bins by offering him a crown.
The defendant admitted his error, and hoped the I%l4is-
trates would be as lenient towards him as possible, and he
would take care not to offend again.
Mr. G101(411 11E—Under all the circumstances of the
case, t consider it to be my duty to flue you in the penalty
of fistlr sotereigns and 4s. costs.
Defendant-3, eensider it a very hard case, but I bow to
the decision of your Worship, but hope yon will not suffer
the case to appear in the Papers'.
Mr. GREGORIE—We have no „,ntroul over the Press ;
and I think the publication of thecase e'vre likely to bene-
fit than injure the respectable body of licen'ed victuallers,
by informing them that police-officers cansOt be either
tampered with or corrupted with impunity.
The defendant then paid the fine, and left the office.
MARYLEI3ONE.—On Saturday William Canuz,
who is charged with joining in a conspiracy to defraud se-
veral tradesmen in St. Marylebone, was brought before Mr.
RAweresoA for re-examination. It is is said that within
two or three years the prisoner has lived in Windsor-place,
City road; Heatheote-street, Mecklenbusgh-squatc; St-
Thomas Apostle, Cheapside; Camden-street, Islingin;
Arundell-terrace; Azhly-street, Goswell-street-road ; Wil-
mington-square ; Charlotte-stteet, Portland-place ; Gray's
Inn-lane-road ; Ernest-street, Regent's Park ; and Titch-
borne-street, Edgeware-road, where he was taken into
custody. He passed sometimes as a man of fortune, and
sometimes as butler, or upper servant, to individuals named
Chartres, Ridgway, Captain Robinson, and Watkins ; and
persons came from most of the above places to wake com-
plaints against him.
Mr. RawerAso'rl beard as much of their evidence es he
thought public justice reqvired, awl remanded the prisoner
until Wednesday, tellieg him he intended then to send Mari
to Nesvgate for stealing a barometer worth 61. 12s. which
he obtained, in his opinien feloniously, from Mr. Webb, in
Tottenham court-road, and detainers would be lodged
against him under the charges of fraud.
On Saturday, J. West, alias Warwick, lately manager
of the Croydon Theatre, was re-examined on numerous
charges of fraud.
Mr. Smith, of Wood-street, lace-merchant, i.o addition
to his former evidence, said that when the prismser came
to his house he produced a letter, purporting to Lave been
written by Mr. West, of Wandsworth, and ordering net to
the anesunt of 271.: this net the prisoner obtained.

Mr. 'West, of Wandsworth, who was in the office, tab.l
that the unfortunate young man at the bar was his son.
The prisoner bad not received any instructions from him
to apply to Mr, Smith fur goods, and had acted entirely
without his authority.
Mr. Smith observed that Mr. West had sums time ago
printed some net handkerchiefs fur him, and when the
Prisoner called at his house with the letter, he produced a
specimen of this net; he wished to be informed how the
prisoner knew that Mr. West had printed such net for him.
Mr. West said, that his son was aware of that circum-
stance fioin having called at his house.
Mr, Smith then asked Mr. West if he knew the Rev.
Mr. West, and laid drawn a bill on him ?
Mr. West replied that the Rev. Mr. West was his son,
hut he had never drawn a bill on him.
Mr. Smith said he held a bill drawn by J. West. upon
the Rev. Mr. West, of Forfar, in Scotland, and which had
been dishonoured. He had written to the Rev. Mr. West,
but had not received an answer. _

Mr. West seemed greatly distressed at the situation in
which his son was placed, and said, that if Mr. Smith had
applied to him, he would have reconnneaded hint not to
supply the prisoner with goods. Ills son, when a child,
fell fromi a bay-loft, since that time he bad, been deranged.
The prisoner was thrn remanded until Tuesday.

CLARE ELECTION.

WEDNESDAY.

Early in the day, Mr. Fitzgerald and his friends com-
menced a regular canvass trough the town, but, with the
exception of two or three pe sonal friends, the effort provid
unavailing.

HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK.

Mr. O'Connell's address, Which at this hour came by
the Dublin road, made an extraordinary sensation all over
the town. riundre:ls of it were sent to all the parishes
of the country, and circulated through the Own; it was
justly looked to as forming a new sera in the history of
Ireland. The Committee of independence are uncea,iug
in their tabours.
