POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

• BOW-STREET.
This morning a busy-looking little gentleman,
who we understood had some connection with Mr.
eobbett, attended at this office in company with Mr.
French, the barrister. When Mr. HALLS, the Ma-
gistrate, was disengaged, the little gentleman bowed,
and addressed Mr. Halls as follows Your Worship, I have to apply for a warrant
lainst Ann Cobbett, the wife of the celebrated Mr.
Cobbett, of that name.
Mr. HALLS—Mr. Cobbett of Mat name.
Applicant—Oh, 1 beg pardon, I mean Ann the
wire of the celebrated Mr. Cobbett, the political
writer. She has accused me of a most heinous
offence—of an offence which I consider worse than
murder; she has spoken the slander in the presence
of Mr. French and other persons, and Mr. French is
nere to prove it.
Mr. HALLS—WeII, what have we to do with it,
if she has. It is no charge here. If she has as-
sailed your character you must apply to the laws of
the country, when you will have your redress. It
quite a mistake, you must go to an attorney.—
Surely your friend, Mr. French, could have told you
tnat this was not the course.
The Applicant—But I would wish to proceed by
a more summary process.

French—But I should have thought, your
bnc":lliP, that when the accusation related to a
matter, that—
HALLS—Hanging by the head or the heels ?
11'r• ROBINSON (a Barrister and County Magis-
trate, on the Bench)—I should have thought that
Mr. French—you are a Barrister, I believe ?—(to
kr. French.)
Mr. French I wish no observations to arise on
that. I think that observation particularly uncalled
for—(to Mr. Robinson). 'What right have you to
ask me such a question ? It was a very impertinent
observation. 1 might as well examine you as to
What you know of the law of real property. Pray,
Sir (with some warmth) what is a " Constitutional
limitation" in law ?

Mr.
OBINSON—You, as a barrister, ought to
know that the criminal law does not take cognizance
of slander.

All this time the audience were amused with two
dialogues, the little gentleman importuning for the
*arrant, and Mr. French- examining the Magistrate
as to his knowledge of law.
Mr. HALLS asked Mr. French what his mode of
Proceeding had to do with the application.
French complained of the impertinence of
alr• Robinson.
ThMr. HALLS ordered the gaoler to clear the office.
