POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE,—On Saturday, a person of respectable
appearance applied to the Lord Mayor, urged, he said, by extreme
distress. He stated that he had been master of a Grammar
School, at Cahir, in the Diocese of Waterford, to which he had
been appointed by the Bishop of Waterford, on testimonials of
character for twenty years. The deed by which he was appoint-
ed, signed by the Bishop, he produced to the Lord Mayor. He
had, however, been illegally deprived of his situation, about four
years ago, for having refused to write that he was in possession of
a piece of ground bequeathed to the master of the Grammar
School, by the late Earl of Glengall. His case was deemed one
of such hardship, that a bill was since brought into Parliament,
by Lord Carbcrv, to prevent its recurrence. He had, since his
ejection from the school, been driven to suffer the severest pri-
vations ; his wife was at this moment suffering under illness, with-
out his having the means of procuring her either medicine or
nourishment.

The Loan MA vox. told him he must apply to the Parish Officers.
The applicant replied, that he had no legal claim on the parish,
and he knew it was wholly useless to make any application to
them. He was willing to undertake the humblest employment
by which he might support his poor sick wife, and would consider
an appointment to be a night watchman a great favour.
The Loan Mayor, said, it was not in his power to appoint him
to the situation, and enquired whether he was a member of the
Established Church.

The applicant replied that he was.
The Loan MAYoa ordered him some present relief, but re-
peated that it was not in his power to assist him in obtaining a
situation.

The applicant said, it might be in his Lordship's power to serve
him in another way : he had, at different times, endeavoured to pro-
cure some alleviation of his distress by writing short poems. He
was the author of the poem called " The Eddystone Lighthouse,"
and had lately written an Elegy on the Duke of York, under the
patronage of Lord Bexley, a copy of which he produced, and if
his Lord:ihip would honour him with his patronage, he would
undertake to produce, in a few days, an interesting poem on the
late storm in Scotland.

The Loan 31.%y0x declined any interfrrenee with the Muses,
and the applicant left the office.

GUILDHALL.—George Cousin, an ostler at the King's
ArMs Inn, Holborn-bridge, was charged before Sir P. Latruir.,
on Saturday, with stealing a small quantity of gin. Mr. Hearne,
the proprietor of the yard, said, a hogshead of gin had been
brought to his premises fur the purpose of being conveyed into
Wiltshire, and the prisoner bad been detected in extracting
the contents by a novel though simple piece of machinery. lie
produced a squat tin barrel, with a thin pipe, six inches long, at
one end, and another pipe, rather larger, but only one-third the
length, at the other. Having perforated a hole in the cask, and
introduced the long pipe into it, by sucking the short pipe till
the'air is exhausted from the tin barrel, the vacuum becomes in-
stantly filled with the spirit. The long pipe is then withdrawn
from the cask, and introduced into the neck of a bottle, where the
contents of the barrel are safely discharged. About half a pint
of gin was obtained by each operation, and the hogshead was de-
ficient three quarts, but only half a pint was found on the pri-
soner.—The above facts being sworn to, the prisoner was commit-
ted for trial.

BOW-STREET.—John Hughes, a Clerk to Mr. Harrison
Harrison, a wine-merchant in the Adelphi, was charged with em-
bezzling various sums of money, the property of his master, and with
forging, or causing to be forged, a receipt for one of the sums of
money received by him. It appeared that the prisoner received
121. to pay one of his master's creditors, and he paid 101., and
applied the other 2/. to his own use. He also received another
sum of money from kis master to pay a creditor, and he induced a
lad to forge a receipt for the amount. Subsequently his master
discovered the fraud and forgery, and gave the prisoner into cus-
tody.—He was remanded.
In consequence of an order from Sir R. Binniz, on Friday, an
active clearance was made that night, in Catherine-street, Covent-
garden, &c., and 58 unfortunate women were brought up, on Satur-
day morning, from the different watch-houses in the neighbour..
hood, before Mr. MINSH LL. Those of refractory behaviour and
known bad habits were sentenced to short periods of imprison-
ment, but those of usually quiet demeanour were discharged with
a caution.

Three poor men were hrcught up before Mr. MlNslictt,
under a private Act, passed to prevent the foot-paths in the parish
of St. Martin's-in-the-fields, from being obstructed. The
prisoners had had . some baskets of fruit which they had set
down, so that part of the basket rested on -the foot-path, and not
having immediately withdrawn them upon being desired so to do,
they were taken into custody by the parish beadle.
The Worthy Magistrate was inclined to act leniently towards

the prisoners, hut one of the parish officers came forward, and re-
quested in the name of the Churchwardens, that they might be
fined. The minimum of fine which the Act has fixed is five
shillings, and the poor men not being able to pay that sum, were
severally committed for seven days to the House of Correction,
that being the minimum of punishment fixed by the Act in case
of non-payment of fine.

LAMBETH-STREET.—CosrEssioN or PERJVIIV.—In the
Daily Papers of last week a case of rather an extraordinary nature
appeared in connexion with a girl of the name of Elizabeth
Levi, who was brought before the Magistrates of this office in a
complete state of insanity, arising from the compunction she felt
at having committed the crime of perjury on a late trial in the
Court of King's Bench. The Magistrates, on the investigation,
desired that the girl should be removed to the workhouse of
Whitechapel, and there paid every attention to till the sanity was
restored.

On Saturday, being recovered from her malady, she appeared
before Mr. WYA TT, and made a voluntary confession that what
she had sworn on the trial of "Alexander v. the British Fire
Office" was false. She did not see the fire; she did not assist in
carrying water to extinguish it; nor was the boy William gone
to Van D;eman's Land ; all. which she had sworn on the trial.
She hoped God would forgive her crime.
She was taken back to the Workhouse till some situation can
be provided for her.
