POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—John Jasper, a young man of
dolour, was charged with stealing a 501. Bank of England
note, the property of his master, Captain Woodley R.N.,
Who resides in Regent-street.
Captain Woodley was not in attendance, and it appears
is unwilling to prosecute.
Mr. HALLS directed that a summons should be sent to

the Captain, requesting his attendance on a future day, and
remanded the prisoner.

Daniel Frederick Jones, who has been several times
examined on various charges of fraud, was yesterday re-
examined. There was no further evidence gone into, and
Mr. HALLS told him that upon producing two sufficient
sureties in the sum of 100/. each, and entering into his
pwn recognizance in the sum of 2001. to answer any
charges that might he preferred against him at the ens,ling

iessiOns, he would be set at liberty.
The prisoner said he could find bail to any amount. He
ras informed that he must give notice of his bail, and that

ie would be brought up on Monday next to be discharged,

his bail were accepted.

MARYLEBONE.—Tames Cooper, who is a shopman
lo Mr. Hebden, a pork-butcher in New-street, Dorset-
;pare, was charged with wilfully and maliciously breaking
4e leg of a spotted coach-dog, belonging to Mr. George
all, of New-street-mews. _ _

It appearing by evidence that the dog was a notorious
reebooter, and that it had committed robbery repeatedly in
he shop of the defendant's employer, Mr. GRIFFITH placed
he value of the bacon and pork stolen from Mr. Hebtlen,
s a set-off against the expence Mr. Ball may sustain in
:uring the dog, and dismissed the charge.
William Bishop, a young man, was committed to
Vewgate for trial, on the charge of stealing five planes,
Ind other carpenter's tools, from an unfinished house in
Robert-street, New-road. •
John Marchant, of Middlesex-street, Somers-town, a
carpenter to whom the property belongs, left it under lodic
nd key on Wednesday evening, and missed it yesterday
Morning. The prisoner was apprehended in the act of
4ndeavouring to pawn it, with an apron also belonging to
the prosecutor tied round his waist.
Eight respectable tradesmen, living in and near Fitzroy-
market, were fined ss. and costs, for exercising their ordi-
iary callings on the Lord's day.
The informations were laid by Henry Hutchins, a beadle,
4cting under instructions received front the parish-offieers
of St. Pancras; who found their shops open at half-past II
4'clock on Sunday morning, and after the commencement
Of divine service.

HATTON-GARDEN. —Jarnes Gower, a young man
4f respectable appearance and address, was brought up yes-
terday before Mr. I..ntrta and Mr. Sergeant SELLori, by the
dverseeer9 of Clerkenwell parish, to show cause why an
order of affiliation should not be made out against him, he
being the reputed father of a child which was now become
a retainer upon the poor's-rates.
The chief clerk suggested to the Magistrates, that it
might be still in their recollection that the present case was
One which had been about 12 months ago brought under
their consideration.

Mr. LAXNG.—I recollect the case perfectly well ; and
also that it had been satisfactorily proved that the young
man was in Lincolnshire at the time in which it was alleged
the criminal conversation took place between himself and
the female accuser.
Mr. Bodkin, who attended as solicitor on the part
,of the
tarish, said, that the woman had been in a place of service
nee then till very lately, and having left, she applied to the
parish officers for relief on behalf of herself and child ; but
the parish thought it necessary to look to the reputed father
of the child for its maintenance. And although the parish

1- -
authorities might have their resource at the Quarter Ses-
iions, yet he thought it would be more respectful to bring
the matter once more before the Magistrates.
Mr. LAING—If such a harassing system were suffered
to go on,—if once a precedent were made for it,—if cases,
after having obtained the decision of the magistrates, were
allowed to be brought forward to go through the ordeal of
tinother hearing, after a lapse of twelve months, the cases
would be interminable, and I know no man who would
be safe. We had before the most satisfactory proof that
the accused party had been in Lincolnshire at the time of
the conception of the child ; and now, taking all the cir-
cumstances of the case into consideration, we do not think

it proper and consistent to go into it a second time.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON—We have already gone through
ill the evidence, both pro. and con., that the case would
admit, and upon that haiing come to a decision, we will
not now have that decision brought in question here.
Mr. Scott, one of the overseers, said that the reason why
they did not bring it forward long before the present time
was, that the woman had been engaged as wet-nurse, and

gniedeaftioitvs,
' The defendant said that he had every reason to suspect
the motive for bringing it forward now arose out of a pri-
vate pique—an envious grudge towards him on the part of
the parish authorities.
Mr. LAING-We will not entertain the case.
Mr. Scott said, that their decision of the present case on
the former occasion was grounded on a letter from a per-
son living in Lincolnshire; that they had afterwards
written to the supposed writer of that letter, and having
since received no answer, they thought it could not be re-
lied on.
Mr. LAING-I know well there is such a person, a re-
spectable attorney, living in Lincolnshire, who is the avowed
writer. We have taken evidence as well verbal as written.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON-We abide by our former decision.
Mr. Bodkin—l was not aware of what took place on the
former occasion.
The defendant said lie was willing to give the parish
officers all the information they required, and he could

afford.
The mother, insisting vehemently that the defendant was
the actual father of the child, was ordered by Mr Laing to
be taken out, and he peremptorily refused to hear the case
any farther.
L AMBETH- STREET. Yesterday an ill-looking
fellow,
named John Mullins, was brought in custody be-
fore Sir DANIEL Wrra.taxs and the Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS,
charged with riot and breaking the windows of Poplar work-
house.
yffl isee,rebbneuceten,c could not get any.
The Beadle stated that the prisoner, who for a consider-
able time past had been troublesome to the parish without
the slightest claim, came on the preceding afternoon, and
collected a mob of the lowest characters round the work-
house ; and after making a long harangue against the parish
officers, commenced an attack on the committee-room
windows, with large stones from the road, while his com-
panions egged him on by crying, " Go it, that's right !"
A gentleman who sat in the room narrowly escaped being
severely injured by a stone which passed close to his head.
Four large panes of ground glass were broken, of the value
of twenty shillings.
The latter part of this statement woe corroborated by a
respectable inhabitant, who assisted in securliesntagiaditohneep.rTisioenl:ard.
Sir DANIEL asked the prisoner what he had to say

asked " Pray were you not regularly passed to Ireland some
short time ago ?" Prisoner—l was passed as far as Bristol
your Honour.
The Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS—And from thenceyou passed
yourself back again.
Sir DANIEL asked the prisoner if he was aware that, by
returning, he subjected himself to imprisonment for six
months in the Howe of Correction? Prisoner replied" No."
The Beadle said that he was instructed to solicit that
'the prisoner might be held to bail. The parish officers
wished to make an example of him, in order to deter others
from the like offence. The prisoner was accordingly com-
mitted in default of bail.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A young barrister of
respectable appearance and connections, occupying cham-
bers in Gray's-inn-square, appeared amongst the disorderlies
from the watch-house, charged with creating a disturbance
and mob round the house of a respectable-looking man, re-
siding in Little Charles-street, Hampstead-road.
The complainant said that he was a housekeeper in Little
Charles-street, Hampstead-road.—About ten o'clock the
preceding night there was a loud knocking at the street-door,
and upon opening it, a lady elegantly attired rushed in and
craved protection in complainant's house. She was much
agitated, and said that a " gentleman" had been following
her, and she was desirous of getting rid of his impertinent
importunities.—Knowing the lady to be respectable he
granted her request. Shortly after the • defendant gave a
loud knock at the door, and demanded to see the lady who
lodged in complainant's house. He told the defendant there
were no ladies lodged in his house, and cautioned him not
to create.a disturbance at his door, or he should charge him
with the watch. The defendant replied, that " he knew
the law as well, as he (complainant) did, and should wait
to see the lady." ,Complainant shot is door;". and, in a
few moments the gentlemn came again, 'created a disturb-
. ance, and attracted a mob round the house ; 'So that he
was compelled to give him in charge to the watchman.
The defendant confined himself to saying that lie had
created no disturbance, and that he should bring an action

The Magistrate cautioned the complainant against sel(
too hastily. In the present case, as there did not aptet
to be any particular disturbance, he should direct the dr.
feudant to be discharged.
The young barrister paid the usual fee of Is. and w3lO

THAMES-POLICE.---A man in the dress of a soti
was charged with having been guilty of a petty theft. 1,
others were put to the bar on a charge of having bee° lur
ing about at large with intent to commit depredations.l
The first, whose figure was the most wretched poolvbei;
said he was discharged from an hospital, and being 'in,
to obtain a ship, was driven by hunger to pilfer. 0e he
Oared that lie was ignorant of any quarter from whfnce
could obtain relief.
The six others, whose squalid appearance bespoke etre
treme wretchedness, were sailors, found lurking ab°,4§t.
untenanted houses about to be pulled down to form .n,
Catherine's Dock. The number of these objects PF:',j
cently been increased in the streets, as the season ial, to.

and were obliged to depend upon what they eoahl ge. or
the streets. They knew no means by which they, 0
sailors, could obtain relief, and they betook themselve!o
these untenanted houses at night, which were the coin
receptables of numbers similarly situated.
