POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
A respectable looking middle-aged female, neatly attire in
blank was brought up under the following extraordinary charge:
Police Constable, F 151, stated that he was on duty about a ne
yesterday morning, in St. Martin's-lane, when he saw 'the
prisoner, in company with another female and a man;, the
prisoner and the other female, whom he could not name,, t ere
bath exposing their persons in a most indecent manner to. the
man ; the prisoner was very drunk; bat those with wh.om. she
was in company were quite sober. Witness endeavoured. to tt eke
all three to the station-house, but the other two ma away;
there was no one passing at the time.
The prisoner, in defence. stated that the charge was valsolly
unfounded ; she was a most respectable woman raid kept a re-
spectable lodging-house, for which she paid an annual r eat of
501. ; she could bring, she said, numerous witnesses, why would
state that she was quite incapable of the conduct ascf /bed to
her. She had been to the Docks seeing her broths 4. off to
Sydney, and that accounted for her being out so late ; but she
was perfectly sober, and, indeed, the charge was uttexiiy devoid
of truth.
Mr. HALL thought it very unlikely that the policeman
should make a charge of this sort, unless there were ai.szery strong
foundation for it ; in fact, therefore, to test her statement, he
should call the Inspector w'ao took the charge at the station_
house, to speak to the state in which she then was.
The Inspector stated she was very drunk.
The prisoner was again about to deny it, when
Mr. HALL quicl:ly silenced her by telling h ar, that if she.
dented it again he should send her to the House of Correction
without the chance of a fine. This was a most scandalov ;
case ; no excuse could be made for her; if she were, as slae
said, a respectable woman, so much the more shame. T His
came completely within the Act of Parliament, and he Irtd a
great mind to commit her for seven daps. He should, 'how-
ever, give her the option of a fine. He, therefore, ordered
her to nay 20s. ; or be committed to the House of Clurrection
fur eight days. The fine was immediately paid.
CLERKEN WELL.
Two young lads were brought before M.. GREENWOOD
charged with an attempt to set tire to a letter-F. x. It appeared
that the visor ers were in the habit of selling matches in Gos.
well-street, Clerkenwell, and that on Wednesday afternoon they
were seen by a little girl, who happened to be passing on the
other side of the way, take out a match, light it, and throw it se
lighted into the letter-box; she gave notice. 'to a policeman and
they were taken into custody. Mr. Newer', the proprietor of
the post-office, stated that all the letrars in a neighbouring,
post-office box were consumed some shirt time ago in a similar
manner.
Mr. Biscriast remarked that ink had been thrown int. a.
letter-box in the City, which effaced all the superscriptions.
Mr. GREENWOOD discharged the boys on their parents 2ro-
mising to chastise them.
KENSINGTON POLICE.
Thomas Shores, a farmer's labourer, about 23 years t age,
was brought up in custody from'Hanworth, before Mr. G.
Clive, the sitting Magistrate, charged with having stabbed his
brother, John Shores, with a knife, in the stomach, on the
night of Sunday last.
Lawd, V 222, deposed that on the night of s inday last,
about 11 o'clock, lie was on duty at Hanworth, Middlesex,
when, hearing a, disturbance at the Brown Bet.: public-house,
he hastened to the spot, and found, about 60 yards from the.
Bear, John 13amlett and another young roan shouting out
" Police." He asked them what was the matter, when theyi-
said that John Shores, who is the prisoner's brother, and whom
witness then saw was lying on the ground, had been stabbed by
the prisoner, who had afterwards run off. On examining John
Shores witness found that he was bleeding from a stab wound,.
and aecordingly immediately sent for a surgeon. The following
morning witness apprehended the prisoner about eight o'clock.
John- Hamlett, of Hanworth, deposed that about ceases
o'clock on Sunday night he was at the Brown Bear with the
prisoner, his brother John, and his siife, Mr. Cooper (the land-
lord), and two others. The prisoner's brother went out, and
on coming in again pulled the prisoner from his seat, threw
him down, pulled his hair, and stamped upon him, and upon
letting him go, went out of the house. The prisoner, who then
sat on the floor with his nose, &c., bleeding, got up about five
minutes afterwards, and taking out a knife, said he would go
and stab his brother. The knife was a clasp one, with a spring
back. Witness shoutel to John Shores," John, here's Thomas
coming with his knife to stab you." John Shores at that time
was about 40 yards from witness, walking towards his homes.
He heard witness the second time he shouted, and turned
round, at which moment the prisoner, who was then close to
him, rushed at him with the knife and stabbed him. John
Shores instantly struck the prisoner, knocked him down, %rid
again stamped on him until he himself fell down from ex-
haustion from loss of blood. Witness then saw blood flowing
from John Shores' side. Witness only saw the prisoner stab
his brother once. Witness was close to him when be stabbed
him. Witness then went for a doctor, and the prismer
walked away.
A medical certificate was then produced, which stated that
John Shores was lying in a most dangerous state, in consequence
of a wound in the abdomen, and that there was but a very
slight chance of his recovery.
Mr. Crays said sufficient had been already proved to render
it necessary that the prisoner should be remanded until the
ultimate fate of his brother can be ascertained, and he asked the
prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge ?
The prisoner, who appeared to be exceedingly weak front the
effects of his brother's attack on him, said he deeply regretted
what had occurred, and was sorry he had had such an instru-
ment in his possession. His brother had, however, dreadfully
ill-used him on more than one occasion.
He was then remanded to the New Prison, Clerkenwell, for
a week.

EECT lON COMMITTEES.
LYME REGIS.
The Committee, on assembling yesterday, 'pro-
ceeded to hear the conclusion of Mr. Austin's summing
up, in support of the vote of James Bridle, and finally
decided that the vote was a bad one ; it was accoritingly
struck off.
The sitting Member is now in a minority of one.
The next vote taken was that of Kennicott ; the
examination was of the same nature as that of the two
preceding votes, namely, an inquiry into the fact
of the parties being indebted to Mr. Hillman, by accom-
modations, or money advanced a considerable time pre-
vious to the election, and consequently beinu unable to
give an unbiassed vote. The evidence had not concluded
at the adjournment, at four o'clock.

Several of the Cabinet Ministers visited Sir R.
Peel yesterday morning.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised,
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most seienti£c principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ~ and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article. at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and ham
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Sz:hweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked.
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the.
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the,
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
leoitira ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe.
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
rtoyal Palaces
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointm!.A,
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side,. with_
