POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.--Yesterday George Kent, a
respectable looking young man, was charged by hie em •
ployer with having misappropriated a cheque for 8/. 9s.
which he received from Mr. R. Chester, in liquidation of
an account due to the complainant.
Mr. Richard Chester proved that he had handed the
prisoner a cheque on Messrs. Masterman and Co, for Si. 9s.
on account of Mr. Whitburn. _

A clerk from the banker's proved the payment of the
cheque with one five pound note, three sovereigns, and
nine shillings, to the prisoner.
Mr. Whitburn requested that the prisoner should be re-
manded, to ascertain whether any other sums of money had
been taken up by him.
The LORD MAYOR—What remuneration have you al-
lowed the prisoner for his services ?—Mr. Whitburn re-
plied he was only with him three months, during which
period he boarded and lodged him, and gave him three or
four pounds.
The LORD MAYOR—Mat remuneration is very small,
and operates as an extenuation of the offence.—Remanded.
BOW-STREET.—James Dyer, a private in the Qd
battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with de-

frauding a Mr. Thomas Jones, a Lieutenant in the. Nary,
of a sovereign.
The prosecutor (lid not appear willing to press the
charge, and Mr. HALLS, having learned that the prisoner
would be punished by his commanding officer, told the
Serjeant that he might t ake him to his quarters. His
conduct was highly disgraceful both to himself and to the
regiment to which lie belonged.
Sir Gregor M' Gregor was removed yesterday morning
from Tothill-fields prison to the New Gaol at Clerkenwell,
together with about a dozen other individuals, all of whom
are desirous of taking the benefit of the gaol delivery, which
takes place, we believe, this day at the latter prison.
Mr. Cowell, of Brydges-street, Covent-garden, applied to
the magistrates for advice under the following circumstances :
—Mr. Cowell's servant booked a parcel some time since,
containing fish, at the Regent-office, corner of Regent-cir-
cus, Piccadilly, for which he paid 21. Bd. carriage, and
which parcel never reached its destination. After repeated
applications, Mr. Cowell at length obtained an inter-
view with the proprietor, who refused to make any recom-
pence, and said that the fish smelt so offensively, that no
coach would take it.
Sir R. BIRNIE recommended Mr. Cowell to bring an
action for the recovery of the amount.—Mr. Cowell ex-
pressed his determination to adopt this advice.
A small elderly woman, dressed in a mighty fine and
fantastical manner, entered the office in the course of the
morning, and as the people made way for her in her pro-
greet) to the Magisterial table, she was heard to repeat
several times, with an indignant toss of her be-feathered
head—" Foreigners, indeed ! employ nothing but foreigners,
indeed !"
Having gained the table, she addressed Mr. HALLS, the
sitting Magistrate thus—" 0, Sir,—l was brought up to
the profession of music—and I may say that my talents in
that way are very great indeed,—and they have only to be
known to the public to be admired. Now, I want an en-
gagement at one of the theatres, but unfortunately I am an
Englishwoman, and they have not a proper regard for
native talent. No, Sir,—nothing but foreigners will go
down with them, and they will not employ me, though I
am an Englishwoman born and bred, and I always paid
rent and taxes, even when I did not live in it; and I al-
ways lived respectably, though I've neither father, mother,
brother, sister, cousin, husband, nor nobody else belonging
to me ; and yet fur all that the managers of the theatres
won't give me an engagement. It's true lam getting old
now, but if I
.had to begin the world again I'd manage
better
Mr. HALLS—I would advise you to give up the theatres
at all events, and begin again with a husband if you can.
Ah ! I should be very glad—but I can't ; because I
should want a husband that had property and ability—a
great deal of ability he must have—and such a husband I
can't get, because, though I have plenty of ability I have no
property. Now, I could easily get a husband without pro-
perty or ability—but then he would be an English hus-
band ; and oh ! I would take an English husband without
property or any thing else ; hut then I can't get him—no ;
it's too late now ; I must get an engagement at one of the
theatres, for I wish to get my livelihood in an honest way.
Mr. Hams—Well, then, you had, better go to the
theatres, they are close at hand here.
Yes, I know ; I have been to them before, but they are
so obstinate they won't engage me. Now can't you
Mr. HALLS—No, we have no controul over the theatres.
I dare say if you go to them again they will engage you.—
I should be happy if they would, and I dare say so would
the public.
Yes, I have no doubt of that---but then, they refuse to
engage me, you see, and so the public have no opportunity
of becoming acquainted with my talents, unless you can get
me an engagement.
Mr. •Haus—We have nothing to do with the theatres,
I assure you ; and this is a theatre in which you would net
like to act a part. Ours is the theatre of the world, not a
theatre of art.
Oh ! isn't it? I thought it was; and so saying, the poor
stage-struck old lady, dropped a formal curtsey, and retired.
icIATTON - GARDEN.—Yesterday Ann Solomon,
Moses Solomon, her son, and Clara Brown, the servant
girl, were brought up for examination, before Mr. Sergeant
SELLON and A. S. LAING, Esq.
The various circumstances connected with the appre-
hension of the prisoners were again 'related by the officers.
The Magistrates, after maturely weighing the several facts,
discharged the son and servant girl, and fully committed
Mrs. Solomon for trial, as a receiver, in two cases—
namely, of a gold watch, the property of Mr. Beauchamp,
the pawnbroker, of Holborn, and for having in her pos-
session 554 haw sovereigns. - She was also committed,
under Mr. Peel's late Act, for stealing a silver watch,
chain, and seals—cue of those found by Fogg, jun., the
Thames Police-officer.
The following are the circumstances connected with the
last case, the development of which quite petrified the
prisoner, and in no little degree astonished her legal ad-

house in Gulstone-street, Whitechapel. He slept in the
house that night. When he awoke in the morning, his
companion had fled, and with her disappeared his watch,
chain, and seals, his money, and clothes. He gave infor-
mation of the robbery to Lee, an officer of Lambeth-street,
who, after various unsuccessful attempts to discover the
stolen articles, ultimately advised him to inspect the pro-
perty found at the prisoner's house. He did so, and iden-
tified his watch, chain, and seals, among those discovered
in Petticoat-lane, which, by the way, is close to the place
where the property was lost.
Mr. Ridley was to be bound in the usual recognizances
of 401. to prosecute ; but as he manifested a disposition to
decline coming forward on the trial, he was, at the special
order of Mr. Laing, bound in 2001.
QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday an elderly spinster,
apparently on the wrong side of 40, named Jemima Mulli-
gan, made an application to D. W. ORECOMIE, Esq., for
a warrant against a young man, who, she alleged, had used
her most shamefully.
The Magistrate desired her to state the nature of the
treatment she had received.—" Why, your Worship (said
Jemima), he has been toe bad, I cannot tell every thing."
" You must tell me something, or there is no charge
against him : what has he done ?" said the Magistrate.
Jemima held down her head in the most bashful manner
for some time ; at length she declared he had been false and
untrue.

The Magistrate said, that was no offence which came
within his jurisdiction.
" If I must tell the truth, then (said the coy maiden), I
met him by accident late in the evening near the Regency-
park, and we walked as far as the Vauxhall-road, and then
--(here was a long pause.)
" Well, and what then," inquired the Magistrate ? Je-
mima—Why, he persuaded me to a lone place there.
Magistrate—Well, goon with your story.—Jemima(after
a pause)—Why, I was overpowered, and he ill used mr.
" Indeed," said the magistrate. " Why this is a very
serious charge." Jemima—Oh dear, Oh dear, indeed it is
(accompanied by a flood of tears.)
Magistrate—Pray when did this occur? Jemima.—A
fortnight ago, last Saturday, your worship.
Magistrate—What, so long ago, and you never applied
for redress before ? Jemima—l have been very ill : and
he called upon me, and he swore he would marry me, 1)04
we have quarrelled, and now he says be won't have me.
Magistrate—Then if he would marry you, you would
not prefer such a charge against him ? Jemima-Not
your worship ; I want your worship to make him have me.
Mr. GREGO/UR declared that was totally out of bin
power. Jemima—Bnt after he has treated me so, Your
worship can make him marry me.
Mr. GREGORIE.—You mistake my power, my 1044.1
woman; I cannot make him marry you without bap' ,-„d
You appear to have quarrelled, and I advise you io
make it up again, and perhaps he will then Inarr....cc your
