POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET.

CRUELTY OF A PARENT.—WM. Jones, a shuttle-
maker in Spitalfields, was brought before Mr.
DICKENSON, charged by the Overseers of the pa-
rish with cruelty and general ill-treatment of his
own child, a boy about six years of age. 'Phis
case excited considerable interest, and the Office
was exceedingly crowded.
_lt was stated, that the
child was found naked in the water-closet by a
woman, who had been attracted thither by the
child's cries at midnight, the unfeeling father hav-
ing cruelly heat and turned him out at that hour.
The woman out of humanity carded the child to
the Eight Bells public-house, opposite the church,
where he was taken care of till next morning,
when he was given in charge to the Constable,
who carried him to the Workhouse. On being
examined by the parish Surgeon, several marks of
violence were fOund. upon his body, but more par-
ticularly about .the head; there was a deep cut
upon his forehead, and he was evidently much
distressed and reduced from general ill-treatment;
but having been kept in the Work-house for a few
days, he appeared to recover, and the Overseers
obtained a warrant for. the apprehension of the
prisoner, who was described to be a most despe-
rate.character ; that he had once stabbed hii eldest
son with a knife, and his wife had been to this
Office about a fortnight ago, to swear. her life
against, bins. Several of the neighbours were
called, who witnessed his cruelty to the child at
different periods ; and, notwithstanding the re-
monstrances even of some of his own family, he
would beat him in the most barbarous manner,
and turn him
.out at any hour, declaring 'that he
must not come nigh him.---The prisoner its de-
fence said it was Only a conspiracy amongst the
Overseers against him.—Mr.
_DICKENSON §aid,
during his practice for twenty years, he had .not
known Overseers anxious for prosecutions, but in
extreme cases, He. (the Magistrate) said he could
g
not expect a man of his general bad character to
be able to find bail, and, lie must in consequence
be committed. The prisoner was commuted ac-
cordingly, for want of bail.
