POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSB.=-Mr. fish; the' lottery office keeper,
and M. P., appearedliefore the Loins Mavoa to tinswit a charge'
of assault preferred against him by person named, c, J., Willett,
who lives at No. 10,, fleeting-house-walk, in the Borough. The
prosecutor stated that he gets his living by making patens. He
was dragging a truck. across London-bridge, when he suddenly,
received a cut across the shoulders from 114. Blab, who was pass-
ing over the bridge; this was followed by a second cut, for which
he Mold ascribe no 'motive, and he inithediately endeavoured to ob-
tain the defendant's name; the latter, however, drove on, and
might have got away but for astoppage. He then came up with
the defendant's gig. and laid bold of the rails, but the 'defendant
cut him severely, and beat him on the knuckles with the butt-end
Of his whip.. The prosecutor then said, that he did then certainly
make use of some epithets towards the defendant which he ought
not to hare made use of towards such a gentleman, but he
Glared he was greatly irritated, and could not help it.
A witness, who was at the time a by-stander, declared that
this statement was perfectly` correct. -
Mr. Bish,
who liail'sMiled during the prosecutor's statiinent,
said—. why, my lord, the fact is, that 1 was going over the
.bridge with a spirited horse; there were two lines of carts and
carriages, with room enough for me to puss, but this man here,
who was following behind a waggon, got out of the rank before
me and prevented me passing. I called out to hint repeatedly,'
hut lie paid no attention to me,• and I certainly did give him a cut
or two, as he states, for my horse MU very spirited, and might
have been restive. He afterwards Mlle up, and would have
created a deal of disturbance."

The prosecutor, who seemed a very peaceably disposed and
modest kind of man, here said, be must declare most positively,
that he never did draw out of his rank, and that he could bring
,
witnesses to. prove tne fact.
The Loan MA-iron said; he must believe the complainant's oath
in preference to Mr. Bish's statement. Even on Mr. Bish..e own
admiasion, his lordship could not help saying that be (Mr. fish) was
in the wrong. He should know that even those who dragged
trucks were human beings, who were not disiposed to bear quietly
stliie6uaisipol f havingiastionofnletreitmwthiit.p, espeCially when they were not con
c.
Bish.—" Well, my lord, if you think.so, I have no ob-
jectionmoney that will satisfy him. I would
to
rather (Io pay
thatttolle man
get rid any
ridof the thing, and not he troubled any
more about it."
Ifs Lordship assented, and Mr. fish nodded to Mi.. Carter,
his solicitor, who retired with the prosecutor. Mr. fish left the
Justice-room, and as the parties were not seen again there, it is to
be presumed that the case was settled.

A Lancashire man, named Dolphin, was charged by the land-
lord of a public-house at sparrow-corner, with having ,stnlen
large table, which is capable of accommodating ten persons.
The landlady said, that whilst Ole waS. busy attending to her
customers; she was surprised by the information that one of her
largest and best tables had disappeared.' On looking out, she saw
the prisoner making off under the cumbrous load. Ile was pur-
si►e4 and brought back with it. All in the house marvelled how
he had got it out. It was nearly 100 weight, and extremely cum-
bersome.

The prisoner, who, in appearance, was a sort of Bardolph
character, put on a droll countenance, and said, " A a'm fro
Lancashire, my Lord: an when • 4 get a drop o'drink or so, a'm
fond. o'.frolicksome tricks. There was a chap wi' me that loikes
a'bit a mischief—and, at we seed 'cm busy wi' cuttoiners, lie put
it into my yead ii) nip oft' the' cable,' yet to see what they'd say
when they saw it was gone. It was only a bit of a drunken joke,
my Lord." . . .
The Loan Mavoit said, they did not comprehend such jokes
in London. .

The laudladp shook her head at the prisoner's defence, and said,
that he had taken no liquor, and ehoived no.syMptoMs of drunk-
enness before he made cif; but when he was brought back, and an
i)fticer sent for, he pretended to he in liquor," and was exceedingly
jocular.'

The. Prisoner.—l declare on my word;:my Lord, it was only a
loke ; if I had intended to ideal it, I should have taken a more
private opportunity to get it off.

The Loan AIAYOR.--=According to'your own account, you got
a favourable opportunity; for they were all engaged, and you were
not seen to go out with it. A jury of twelve men must decide on
the probability of your story. .
" A jury !" exclaimed the pristmer, *hose inhicond countenance
underwent a remarkable change of colour upon the information, '
"yon will be hardly so severe."
The Loan Micron examined him is to his means of . getting
liei,libood, which appeared by anesum said
lie itealt in stationery, hot could give no account of his stuck in
trade ; neither would lie he explicit all tO his last residence.
lie was fully committed to take his trial for the capital offence,
and he was led away exHaiming against the cruelty of putting him
in rid' jeopardy, for what he still persisted, in saying was no
more than.a joke,
GUILMIALL.-:4-A Nfell-dressed young inn, who gave his
name as John Jiadluw, IttaS, brought before Mr. Alderman
ANSLEY yesterday, charged with endeavouring to obtain charitable
contributions under a false representation, froM the Rev. Mr.
Barham, the rector of St. Mary Magdalen: .

The prisoner said, he was really starving. His uncle, Mr.
Iladlow, a respectable member of .the Stock Exchange, could tes-
tify that lie was the individual he represented himself to be ; but
he was afraid. all his.friends,would turn their backs on him, in
consequence ef.his disregard of their advice.
Mr. Alderman ANSLEY remanded the prisoner, that his friends
might be made acquainted with his Situation. .
Our reporter obtained a peep into the prisoner's manuscript;
which set forth, in continuation of what he had stated, that he
arrived'at Cambridge on a Tuesday morning, and represented he
was about to be entered as a private pupils; and by the following
Monday morning the tradesmen bad given, him credit to the
amount of 401. Ile meant to print one of his manuscripts ; but
on the latter: morning one of his fiats ascertained that he was not
entered : his creditors swarmed about hint, and be was obliged to
return their property, and fly from the place. He then travelled
on foot to Scotland, subsisting by selling ;a' few trifles, and-occa-
sionally writing sermons for fox-hunting clergymen, who were
too idle to write one fur themselves. Ile. traversed Sentient),
visited Ireland, returned to England, and was thrown into the
House of 'Correction, as a sespicious character, at Aahbourn, in
Derbyshire, upon his liberation from which be had continued his
travels uninterrupted, till he unfortunately knocked at the. Rev.
llf r. Barhara's door.

BOW-STREET..--Hekit Singfeting; an extremely clecent well
looking young woman, was brought up for final examination,
'charged with having robbed her muter, Mr. Barnaby Dunn, a
glass-manufacturer in the Haymarket, of six cut decanters, value
U. 17S. .

William Biggins, late a street-keeper in'the Haymarket, was

&undyed ut the felony, he should also be committed unlesit he could
procure satisfactory bail.
John Harney, .john Dews, Henry Brooks, and John Baron,
were severally charged With having couimitted a riot anti 1185litilt
in the house of Rebecca Taker, the keeper of a notorious brothel,
No. 18, George street, Adelphi.
'The filmier, John Harvey, a young man fashionably dressed and
of gentlemanly' appearance, appeared in person, to answer the
charge; the othee defendants were represented, by, 4 solicitor who
attended on their 6hEar.
It appeared that, on the night of the 2il of August last the de-
fendants earns -in a body to the residence of Mrs. Tucker, •and
having gained adigliohm, they bolted up stairs to the drawing-
room, and taking some wine from a cupboard, they proceeded to
regale themselves 'without ever &moulting the wishes of the mis-
tress of the mansion, or even asking her to join them in a glaso
of 11r'own Wine. On being remonstrated with as to the
im-
j'propriety of their conduct, one of the party immediately knocked
down the mistress, and :the .servant-maid having conic to her as-
sistance, Was also' laid low by thetioughty champions, who soon
after. decamped. Thar persons, however, being known, Mrs.
Tucker, aft.er some trouble, amended in obtaining their names,
and she was thus enabled "in procure a *mullions. A sort of
compromise was 'then enier,,d into, and the parties appeared r.edyes
for-
terday the purpose of having the summons di"shardgt:
did
Mr, MiNsunt4, after observing that in his opinion

The parties then retiredlor a few moments, hut Mrs. Tucker,
again presented. herself to the Pitagistrate, stating thatibe wa-s by
no means satisfied, as the defend-ants, would not allow her the
axpetute of the tionnunns. The solicitor here stepped forward
and laid, that firs. 'rocker had received, it sovereign, and her ser-
vant another, in order to compensate them thoralteged ansault,
but the former was not satisfied. •
Mr: MIN u a eeryseandaloushosuness altogether., to net lit litre to compound afflict% hut to adinMilaterrjr""e,
",,;
and, elute mention has been made of monethiving heenllve"
this woman, 1
desire that it may be immediately given back to tne

owner, u I am now determined to go into the assault, and hear
the parties upon oath.
Mrs: Tucker then gave up the sovereign, and repeated the. facts
"of the assault as we have mentioned them above. She said that
two of the absent, parties were guilty of the outrage, but she had
no distinct charge to prefer against Mr. Harvey, who was present
to answer the complaint.

Mr. Mixits II LI.. --I must again repeat that this is a very shame-
ful piece of business. Had the defendants been poor men, instead
of being rich, and holding the rank of gentlemen, they, would
hive been sent to gaol, and prosecuted for the assault; but as it
is, the complainant was willing to listen to a compromise, which
his only been defeated by her being too anxious to make themost
she could of the folly and indiscrimination of the defendants. I.
shall discharge this gentleman, who slid not appear to have-any
share in the proceedings; but ,I shall:suspend the summons until
the other defendants appear to answer it.
Mrs. Tucker, who was evidently much mortified at the turn
which the case had taJcen, forgetting that she had already said she
bad no charge to bring against Mr. Harvey, turned round, as he
was about to leave the office, and charged hint with twisting the
knocker off her hall-door. . . .

Mr. Harvey, however, stated, that the complainant referred to
a circumstance of several months ago, and that he had replaced
the knocker-to which she had alluded.
Mr. Mnssuni.s..—The ease is dispose,i of, Sir, as far as con...
cerns you.—The parties then left the office.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. George Cum-
mins Osborne, a gentleman residing at No. 125, Piccadilly, was
brought before Sir GEORGE TARRANT, the Magistrate, upon a
warrant, charged with assaulting a young female in his service.
Maria Cooper, the female in question, a very pretty, interest-
ing-looking girl, stated that she had been a short time only in the
service of Mr. Osborne, hut short as that time was, she felt a strong
inclination not to prolong further the period of her servitude with
that Gentleman, and therefore, for reasons unnecessary to state,
she determined on quitting the honse, but on communicating her
intention to Mr. Osborne, he flew into a desperate passion, struck
her a How with s. jug, which cut her arm, shoved her down a flight
of stairs,' and; in fine, pushed her violently into the street. Mr.
Osborne was going. into a long history of real or imaginary sklin-
quencies on the part of the complainant, but the Magistrate told
bins that he must confine himself to the charge of assault, which
Mr: Osbarne.not being able to deny in a sufficient manner? he was
ordered to find bail, or settle the matter with the girl. He adopted
the latter course, by giving her a pecuniary compensation, and was
discharged:

HATTON-GARDEN.Yeaterday a well-dresred and inte=
resting-looking young girl, named Susan Chapman, who has
been in:custody some dam on a charge of robbing her master,
Mr. Mattison, who keeps the Skinners' Arms public-house,
Coburg-street, Clerkenwell, was brought up liar final examination.
She Was HOW iibkra what she had to say to the charge, and was
so deeply affected as to be -unable to reply further than that she
would leave her defence in the hands of her solicitor.—She was
committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE OFFlCE—Yesterday, Sarah Cuzer, a re-
tailer of water-creases in the. village of Ps.ddington, was brought
up by William Betty, a Marylebone constable, charged with steal-
ing 19 sovereigns and 18 shillings from Sarah Bunning.
Sarah Bunning, of No. 10, Duke-street, Liston-green, stated,
that one day, about three month* since, under an impression that
her apartments might be robbed, she took the money above-
mentioned from her box,, and put it into her pocket ; afterwards
thinking some one would pick her.pocket, she tied it up in the
corner of a shawl, which she wore on the road to No. 4, Devon-
shire-street. Not knowing the way, the prisoner carne up to her,
near the Coach and Horses, in the Edgeware-road, and offered to
conduct her. After walking Is short distance together, the prisoner
imitated the shall front her shoulders, 'and ran away. She never
saw the prisoner before nor since, until yesterday morning. The
money was a .part of 48/. saved by her while she was in the ser-
vice .of her annti.With iThom she lived 'l2 yeart.• She has en-
deavoured,fer the last three years to subsist by working lace veils ;
but could not accomplish it, without sinking nearly 301. of her
savings.—The prisoner was remanded until Thursday.
Thomas Wearer, the young man who was remanded on Wed-
•

nesday, on a charge of robbing hie employer, Mr. Hates, of Thayer-
street,' was committed to Nawgate. A letter directed to the pri-
soner, dated'froth no place, signed "Jas. Baldwin," came by' post'
since Wednesday to Mr. Bates's house, unsealed. The prisoner
said he knew no such person as James Baldwin, and the Magi-
strate 'considered it inadmissible as evidence.

Air. 'Hanna* Woods, of No. 25, Weymouth-street, a tailor,
gave evidence; but the trantaction, in the artituation of the Ma.
gistrates, amounted to fraud, not felony. •
