POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION HOUSE.—Yesterday a person of very re..
Speetable connexions, and lately a captain in the Merchant
service, was brought up before the Loan MAYOR to answer
a charge preferred against him by Captain Fowler, of hav-
ing obtained the sum of 42/. 10s. under false pretences.
Captain Fowler, the prosecutor, stated that be was some-
time ago in want of a chronometer, and having mentioned
the circumstance at Lloyd's, he was introduced there to the
prisoner. They went together to. Messrs. krodshain and
Co.'s, where the uhronometer, as the witness understood
from the prisoner, Was deposited for sale. The price asked
for it was 45/. The sum the prisoner agreed to take was
42/. 103., the witness-paid him. No sooner bad he
secured the cash, than he disappeared• When the witness
went to demand his watch of Messrs. Frodsham, who were
cognizant of the bargain, he was informed, for the first
time, that they had a lien upon it for 451., and they posi-
tively refused to deliver it up to him.
The prisoner was ordered to be remanded.
The Solicitor begged that bail might be taken ; but the
Lord Mayor declined receiving it.

GUILDHALL.—A Solicitor attended: on, the part of
Mr. Beauchamp, a pawnbroker in Holborn, to answer r,
complaint made by a working jeweller named De Ligny,
for taking more interest upon a loan than the law authorizes.
The information appearing incorrect, the case was post-
poned till a fresh one could be sled,
Mr. Pool, a mathematical-instrument merchant in Fal-
con-square, was brought up on a warrant, for using threats
of bodily harm towards Ann his wife.
Mrs. Pool, who had a child about two years old in her
arms, stated that she had lately caused her husband to be
held to bail, for assaulting her, and since that lirpe be had
refused to support her.
The ,ALDERNLA II asked the reason ?

":Because,", replied Mr. Poul, "whenever I enter my
house I am iusulted by that wretch," (pointing to his wife,
who was crying).
" I beg, Sir, you will conduct yourself pruperly here.
You must not use such indecorous language," said the Alder-
man.

" If yop will hear,".replied Mr. Pool, "that she has
stuck a dagger into my hody, you will have something to
settle. Four times has she attempted to dome Mrs.' Stan-
ton over me ! Yes, four times."

v if Oh, James, Oh, James !" cried Mrs. Pool, ‘1 will you
charge me with that? Well, I have dope. You know
you have not.slept in my bed these six months."
" My life's in danger; I can never live with you again,"
said the husband, .drowning her, voice.
Mr. Altlerman.ltanxgpopota. saw that &reconciliation
could not be effected, and said that he understood Mr. Pool
kept a country house, and that it was thought he could
allow his wife, 15s, a-week. The Alderman' said, " You

must give her the 15e. You must arrange with her be-
fore I discharge the warrant—that is my determination."
Mr. Pool replied, that he had been deceived into marry-
ing her before he knew his right hand from his left, by
promises of this and the other. He had married into a
Scotch family, and had been completely " humbugged."
" Pay me what you owe me, you old scoundrel," said Mr.
Pool, turning to a fat old gentleman in the rear,—" the
house full of furniture you promised your daughter—the
money:"
" Oh, you diabolical rascal," replied the old Scotch, gen-
tleman • and a war of words was about to commence, but
the Alderman interposed; and eventually Mr. Pocil pro-
mised to pay the required.sum per week, and the partieti
retired to draw up a deed of separation. Both husband
and wife seemed to be tinder 30 }Tors of age.
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. E. Button, a confec-
tioner, residing at No, 200, High Holborn, was summon.;
ed to answer to three informations preferred against him by
Johnson, the informer, for retailing wine without a beer
licence.
The defendant was fined in the mitigated penalty of 101.
upon each conviction. He gave notice of appeal to the
Sessions.
Thos. Jackson, who keeps a respectable eating-house
itt Bow-street, directly facing this Office, was next charged
with selling beer without a publican's licence.
Mr. MiNsituu. fined the defendant in the mitigated
penalty of 101.
The defendant gave notice of appeal.
The hardship of fining the proprietors of respectable eat-
ing,houses, merely for accommodating their customers
with beer, is now so universally felt by that body, that they
.have determined, it appears, to call a meeting for the pur-
pose of forwarding a petition to Parliament upon the sub-
ject, It is, indeed, quite, clear, that the Legislature never
intended to inflict penalties in such cases.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday two young
men, of respectable appearance, were brought from the
watch-house of St. Ann's parish, Soho, for intruding them-
selves into the house of a respectable colournian, residing

they were discharged.
