POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

TOWN-HALL.

IVilliam lVinson, the young man whose sister
died in consequence of injuries received in the course
of a quarrel with him, was brought from the Borough
Compter, on Thursday morning, and discharged,
;he Coroner's Jury having returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."

A pure, unsophisticated Irishwoman, named
Glover, was charged with an outrageous assault on
Biddy Camac, a countrywoman of her own.
Biddy having explained herself, and her wit-
nesses examined, the whole of whom proved it to
have been a general row, the prisoner was called on
for her defence, and instantly produced from a
handkerchief, at least a pound of hair, which she
veherriently protested the complainant pulled from
her head:

Alderman SMITH—Why it's a wig.
"Not it, indeed, your worship," said Mrs. Glover,
" but my own'trtieborn locks ; my head's as soft as
a boiled turnip. I'm shaved as clean as a barber
could do it."--(Here. Mrs. Glover took off her cap,
and exposed her pericranium, which it was very
evident the hair never came .from being of a diffe-
reut colour; and if torn away with violence, must
bare brought the scalp with it.) Upwards of 20
witnesses appeared 'in her behalf, but the Alderman
thought it unnecessary to examine them, and dis-
missed the case, telling the parties that on their next
visit of a similar nature he should hold all concerned
to bail.
