POLICE.

BOW-STREET.--A Mr. S—, formerly in the army,
was on Saturday last examined before Mr. GRAHAM,
on a charge of bigamy, in marrying a second wife,
his former one being living at the time. The fact 8f
both marriages being established, and Mr. S.'s per-
son being identified, he was fully committed to take
his trial at the next Sessions for the county of Surrey.
Gon.nnaLL.—Saturday an Irish labourer, named
Dennis Moran, was brought before the Magistrate for
a second examination, on a charge of having stolen
from the roof of the parish church of St. Mary's,
Aldermanbury, 741 b. of lead : he was detected in
the very act of conveying it out concealed in a water
bucket, by Mr. Bryant, one of the Churchwardens,
and on being asked what he had there, he answered,
" masons' dust." Being called upon for his defence,
he very ingeniously endeavoured to shift the guilt
upon a parish officer, and said the Clerk of the Church,
whom he styled•" the Governor," had desired him to
take the lead to a plumber's, sell it, and bring Him
the money, and if any body should ask him what he
had, to say it was masons dust.—The Parish • Clerk
being sent for, utterly denied the charge..
Dennis, however, with a most vacant simplicity of
countenance, obstinately persisted in his story—but
the Magistrate totally discrediting' his assertion, told
him the only alternative he had now- to• clime, was
either to go to Newgate and stand his trial, or serve
his country, and asked him if he had ever been at sear
To which he answered thus—to be sure he was at say
coming from Dublin to Holyhead, Or how would he
get to England ?
The Magistrate said, he must now have an oppor-
tunity of being longer there, and asked him if he
would like to go on hoard a ship of war ? Dennis an-
swered, by asking his Worship what work he could have
Mere, as he was only a bricklayer's labourer, and knew
nothing about tailoring. The Magistrate replied, he
must make up his mind, and say which choice he was
willing to take, either to be sent to trial and trans-
ported, or to volunteer as a sailor or soldier. To
which Dennis, after a pause and a shrug, answered,
he was not willing to choose any of them, all he wan-
ted was his liberty. But on being told he must make
up his mind, and take his choice, he answered, that
he supposed he must do whatever his Worship desir-
ed, but they were all so bad, he did not know which
to choose. He was, however, remanded, to give him
an oprortunity of consulting his taste.
Yesterday a person who bore every appearance of
a Lady in distress, applied to the sitting Magistrate
for such aid as might enable her to reach her parish,
where she might receive that relief to which the poor
laws of the country entitled her.
She stated herself to be the widow of a Surgeon in
a Militia Regiment, who died some years ago—that
she hat two sons serving their country in the Navy ;
and that she now felt herself reduced to the necessity
of soliciting temporary assistance, to enable her to
pass down to her parish in the country.
The Worthy Alderman .(Nrw ••it.ast) regretted that
the poor laws were such, that he could not grant the
applicant a pass, unless she submitted to a species of
confinement, from which, probably, her feelings might
' revolt. He meant confinement for seven -days in
Bridewell, which formed the only legal transfer to a
. .
parish. . • . •
The lady shrunk back from such an ordeal,

But, on the worthy Alderman •explaininglo her,
that such was the only legal way in which :she could
get a passport to her parish ; that there were no fund?'
in that Court applicable to such a purpose ; alid even
if he (the Alderman) should supplt such funds 'out
of his own pocket, that the 'overseers of the parish
would not be bound to receive her, unless passed in
the regular and only legal manner ; while at the same
time he assured her, that the dread attached to the
name BrideweU" was purely • imaginary ; that it
was one which is such a case implied nothing of pu-
nishment or imprisonment, but that she should be
treated with every indulgence her situation might re-1
quire ; she reluctandy submitted to the only mode of '
obtaining relief.
MANSION-HOUSE, Sem 26.—An officer brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor a person' whom he had taken
into custody on Sunday mot ning, with a bag contain-
ing six bars of soap, and about a quarter cwt. of su-1
gar. Some suspicion arising whic:, was not cleared
up by the prisoner's defence, he was remanded for
examination on Wednesday.

Mantsoaouctr-sTassr.-,-Yesterday a journeyman
baker of the name of Blason, was charged with
making what is called dead men ; that is, charging
the. customers with a greater number of loaves than
he had served them with. The Magistrate stated,
that, by a recent Act of Parliament, a person con-
victed of such an offence as that imputedsto the pri-
soner, would be liable to transportation, if his master
thereby was defrauded. Upon the prisoner expressing
some contrition for what had passed, and agreeing to
pay his master for the value of the loaves deficient, the
master forbore to prosecute.
QUEEN-SC/Fa r.—Yesterday J. Water:, the driver of a
Greenwich stage-coach appeared to answer to a charge
preferred against him by Mr. Baxter, coach-maker,
in Long-acre, who stated, that, last Thursday even-
ing, as he was in compau with Mrs. Baxter, return-
ing home along Westminster-bridge, the prisoner was
driving at a furious rate, and notwithstanding he was
on the wrong side of the read, and cautioned by the'
prosecutor to keep off, wantonly drovi against him
with such force, that his carriage must have inevitably
been overturned, had it not been for the curb-stone
and the assistance of the foot-passengers. Several
Geritlemen likewise clearly substantiated the above
fact.—Mr. Fir r.riNo, the Magistrate, recommended
that the prisoner should be prosecuted as a public ex-
arrir!i., to which the prosecutor readily acceded, and
the prisoner was held to bail to answer the complaint
at die rrext Quarter Sessions.
