POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE—J. Lindsey, the man who ryas found
standing at about four o'clock on Friday morning, with a large
carving knife, waiting to slay his wife, or her supposed paramour,
who he believed were in a house of a certain description, was
brought up again for examination. •

The wife now appeared, and prayed that her husband might be
liberated, because she said he had suffered enough for his folly in
being confined and laughed at, as she owned he deserved to be.
The fact was, that she had had some words with her husband, and
had, " out of aggravation," determined to go to the Coburg.Theetre
with a friend and one of her relations. Being determined to
punish her husband for his misconduct, Ole got into the house un-
observed on her return from the theatre, and went silently to the
bed-room of her son, *here she slept in a vacant bed until morning.
The tom) Maron, looking at the wife, who was evidently be-
tween 40 and 50, and though she retained her vivacity,, is
wrinkled, and has lost most oilier teeth, agreed that it was very
silly for hint to be jealous? His Lordship asked the husband if he
was satisfied with his wife' statement.

The husband rather reluctantly admitted that he happened to
be in the wrong new, but he declared that his wife's conduct-nu a
cornier occasion, when she left him, justified his enspieions in the
present instauce.
The Loan MAYOR—Nouheme ; nothing can be more ridiculous
than for you, who have grown up children by your wife, to en-
tertain such suspicious. floes she wake your homa comfortable?
-The Itusharick,...Vve, slue woke* soy bornotiornfortable enough,
except when she nags rao now and then.
The Loan Afavoa—ls taw attentive to ber children, and dill..
gent in her other domestic duties?

The Husband--I have nothing to say against her in that
respect.

The Loan' Ma reitThen you may depend upon it you have
no ground to say any thing against her. I discharge you : go,
and do not make yourself miserable in your comfortable home with
unfounded suspicions.

The ease war then dismissed, the knife, at the wife's sugges-
tion, being retained in the custody of the officer.
MARI.BOROUCM-STREET.—Yesterday at Young woman,
named Strtet, was brought before T. A. Rot, Esq., the sitting
Magistrate, charged with having assaulted her husband in such a
desperate manner es to endinger his life.
A certificate from the house-surgeon of Middleiex liospital was
here produced describing the man to be in a dangerous state.
The patrol here produced P. pewter quart pot, with which the
blow had evidently been given, es there was a portion of human
hair and blood sticking to the bottom of it.

The prisoner said nothing in explanation of the charge against
her. She was accordingly committed to prison.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday four Irish labourers named
James Hayes, Patrick Hayes, William :Duggan, and Thomas
Collins, Were brim& before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. MY-
FORD, upon a charge, of which tl4 following is a brief narrative:
On the preceding evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the
inhabitants of Kingsland-road and Shoreditch were thrown into
the greatest consternation by a fight taking place, in which a few
Irish labourers residing in that neighbourhood were a party. The
real cause of dispute had its origin in the Dun Horse public-
home ; and on its commencement the landlord very properly sent
for the parish constables, when Geo. Smith and Win. Hall, as-
sisted by James Shepherd, a Bow-street patrol, succeeded in lodg-
ing the prisoners in the watchhouse. During their absence, one
of the most desperate and determined of the party, named Michael
Sullivan, effected his escape into Red Lion-court, adjoining the
I)un Horse, to which place he was pursued by a young man
named Thomas Evans, upon whom Sullivan drew a large clasp
knife, and inflicted a dangerous wound on the, ; and in a
struggle to obtain the knife received a severe wound in the hand,
by having the.weapon drawn forcibly across his fingers. By this
time the officers returned, and Sullivan hard forced his way out of
the court, and ran along the Kingsland-roa4, in the direction of
Shoreditch, with the drawn knife in his hand, spreading the
utmost terror in his progress. He reached the Carlisle public-
house, but the landlord shut the door against him; and a little
further on he entered the house of Mr. Hart, a Jew broker, whose
door was open, and Mr. Hart and his family were so alarmed that
they ran up stairs, leaving Sullivan in the lower part of the house.
By this time the officers arrived before Hart's door,
Shepherd,' the Bow-street patrol, got in at a first floor win •
flow, but before he got down stairs, or about that time, the door
had been forced froin without. Sullivan, after a desperate strug-
gle, in which he three er four times attempted to stab Shepherd,
was secured, the knife taken from him, and he was lodged in the
watch-house.

Yesterday morning he was conveyed to the London Hospital,
whence the following certificate was read Michael Sullivan
was brought here this morning with a severe contusion on the
head, which is at present dangerous, and probably will prove
fatal." Upon the production of this document, the Magistrate
considered Sullivan's case doubly prttearinttet " to his present el-
-tuation, end as to his eventually recovering, and he should com-
mit him under Lord Ellenborough's Act, to remain for the pre-
sent in the hospital, and commit the other prisoners for rioting,
SS well es for theaesaults proved against thew.
VNION-HALL.—Yesterdav Joh* Ole, an engineer to one
of the fire-offices, was summoned before the Sitting Magistrate,
by the parish-officers of Bermandsity, fur leaving his wife and two
children chargeable to the parish.
Mr. HoHands, the overseer, proved the fact of the defendant',
wife and children being chargeable to the parish of Bermondsey.
The defendant, in a melancholy tone, " Your worship, it is
really a hard case that I 1/11 to be saddled with the expense of sup-
porting two children whom I firmly believe have stronger claims
on another than, hotvever, as the saying is, whatever is to be
must be, so I suppose I must take them home." ,
The defendant then left the office with the two children.
Thomas Wilson, the man who imposed upon several indivi-
duals by representing that be Vi,as the bearer of intelligence from
the Britannia, just arrived from India, on board of which he
generally made his dupes believe that therewere presents for them,
and who was committed to Brixton from this office, will be
brought up ou Friday, in order to give thote persona who have
been defrauded by hint an opportunity of attending to prefer their
charges against him.
