POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Ann liThee:er,;t servant in the house of Mi.
Austin, a gentleman of respectability, who residcs
Fin-burs-square, was brought before the LOR!.,
MAYOR, charged under strange circumstances.
A gtuat deal of surprise was excited the menu-ic
it was said that the pri-oner was a servant-gi,l, for
she was dressed up like a dashing girl of the town,
and wore a splendid white satin bonnet, which was
adapted to the most elegant apartment, and never
seemed to have descended to the kitchen.
Evidence to the following effect was given :
One of the watchmen (all of whom are now rather
active, in consequence of the expected exertions of
new police) found, upon going his rounds at
: •._.lock at night, that a step-ladder had been
placed the area of Mr. Austin's house, in such a
manner as to enable any thief to get down with
great ease. lit: therefore rang the hell, and after
some time Mr. Austin's brother, who happened to
be at home alone in • - let him) in. It was
then found that the area-uthir en the latch, and

that the whole house was expoFe,! to depredation.
Mr. Austin's brother called in v:H, :or Ann, who,
he said, had, by his direction, retired (after having
fastened the doors and windows, 8:c.) to bed, at a
little after 10 o'clock. The family of Mr. Austin
were in the country at the time.
It was determined that the watchman shotth:
beep his eye upon the area, as the girl, it was
evident, had put the step-ladder in the area fur her
own accommodation.

The watchman walked about the place, and at
about two o'clock he observed a female advance to-
wards the area and fling one of her legs over the
rails, but just as the other was about to follow, the
guardian of the night caught her by the " calf,"
Land brought her back, notwithstanding her assu-
rances that she belonged to the house. Upon find-
ing that Mr. Austin's brother was acquainted with
her departure up the area, die became quite con-
fused.

His Lordship requested to know from the girl
what could have induced her to leave her master's
house at such an hour exposed to any gang of
thieves, who might have robbed and perhaps mur-
dered them ?

The Young woman said that she had acted im-
prudently, but not sinfully. She had, in fact,
promised to meet a friend at the time she left the
house, and not wishing to disturb her master's
brother, she had climbed over the rails.

It afterwards appeared that the white satin bonnet
in which she had appeared decked out was her mis-
tress's, and it is believed that she had put on her
curls and finery, in order to attend a " hop" in the
neighbourhood.
Ann Wheeler was then conveyed to the Compter.
A complaint was made yesterday morning against
one of the City Coal Meters, for neglect of dury in
signing tickets without having seen the coals mea
cured.

The principal Coal Meter said that so much in-
jury was done to the public by such neglect that it
was proper to make au example of any pet son offend-

_ .
Lug against the law.
Mr. Bumstead, in reply to an observdtio'n from
Mr. Woolfer, who appeared for the defendant, said
that it was imperative en the Magistrate to dismiss
the offender from his ofliee.

The LORD MAYOR said the public must be pro-
:eeted, and dismissed the Meter.

The case of another Coal Meter was adjourned
for a fortnight, he having been charged with ab-
sence from duty.

GUILDHALL.

EXTRAORDINARY CH ARC; E. --Joseph 11.0 It, a
journeyman printer, attended, yesterday, before Sir
PETER LAURIE, charged with assaulting his wife,
Phillippa, on Saturday last.
The complainant, who is a rather pretty young
woman, commenced by stating that she is eighteen
years of age, and had been married almost two years,
nearly all which time her husband had beaten and
illttreatcd her, because she would not adopt a recom-
mendatinn contained in a honk, the title of which she
would hand to the Alderman. To yield to her hus-
band's wish on this point would have been little
short of murdering herself. The book she alluded
to was Carlik's " What is Love, or Advice as to
the Regulation and Numbers of a Family," contain-
ing suggestions for avoiding the expense of rearing
children.

Sir PETER asked her to state more particularly
what her husband said. She replied, that he
pointed out the paragraph to her, and said he wished
her to comply with that for a short time, till he
could turn himself, and then he should not mind hav-
ing a family.
Hyatt said he suddered at the charge, which was
utterly false. She had i❑ the same way charged
him with occasioning her to mi,zcarry, by taking her
to see an execulion at tl•,e Old Bailey; when, in
fact, he had dissuaded her as strongly as he could,
and had accompanied her only because he did not
like to see her go alone.

The complainant insisted that he had wilfully in-
vited her to see the execution, expecting the con-
sequence that followed her going to it.
Hyatt declared all their unhappiness had proceed-
ed from her continually haunting the fortune-tellers,
and paling attention to their predictions. He pro-
duced a paper he had recently found. After laying
down the position of the planets on the 3d of June
last, at the moment she applied to him, the Astro-
loger proceeds—" The querent must not expect
anything to be very kind to her until late in this
year; say October next. This day will -not prove
anything kind or pleasant. The 28th day of this
month also will not be fi iendly. July 2—mind
your phunny, and take no journey, and trust to
no relative. The eighth day will not be unkind,
I hope. Look to it. The 13th thy also pro-
mises you pleasure, and also profit. Attend it, and
avoid all dark sallow persons (her husband nearly
answers this description), for from such your dis-
appointments must come. August 2,6, 23—avoid
them da}s—may be qualified to give you vexation
—avoid them. September 1,6, will be naind;
but pray avoid 15, 20. October 4 avoid it—may
be 'Vexatious. The 2Qth, Nl, 2T, 28, 29, 30, will
be more kind-:pray attend to them, and make good
use of them—they will not be unkind."—The
husband said this fellow had predicted their separa-
tion for three months; what other things he had
put in her head he did not know;; but be led a
miserable. life with her. Pe called a witness, who
described Mrs. Ll'att as being a perfect virago.
Mrs. Hyatt said her husband might scoff at
astrology if he pleased; but she would defy him to
deny that he teased her into leading him to the old
woman in Orange-street, who tells fortunes, and
that when lie was desired to silently wish some-.
thin, he wished to find 2,0001.-,,(A laugh).
The husband (sulkily)--7-1 wish I had never found
7ou.—(l3,enewed laughter.)
Mr, Payne, the second clelk, said the husband
ought to have foreseen that nothing but mischief
could ensue from putting such an infamous book
into the hands of a wife.

Sir PETER said he had avoided speaking of the
contents of this book purpo,,ely ; but he would say
of all Catlile's principles, that those who
them involved themselves in qliseq•
The hush:md that when he was an appren-
tice he enfortunaiely.saw this book in CAtfile'S, ama
and his lellOtV apprentices sttbscrid nal;
pence etty:li, irid purebeg'o, it, it was consigned to
ii lie;11)ng.; and his wife, in rummaging over his
books one day, had discovered it. The charge she
had matte respecting it was entirely false.
The Vestry Clerk of St. Dunstan's said he know
the young roan had been brought t-1 ana
creditably,

iOrtlier disca-ssion olt family matters,
"I,ls"glid was ordered to pay his wife six shillings
a week as a separate maintenance.

BOW-STE EFT.
Yesterday no less than 15 vagrants, men and boys,
were brought
belonging before Mr. HAW, by t 72, c;;;r4table,i
to t
he parish of :it. Martin-in-the-Fields,
Oa:' vo With been found herding together at

night, in the ruins at the end of St. Martin's-lane,
wh;eh have been, it appears, the rendezvous for hun-
dred. ,:f houseless wretches during the spring and
7'lnl mei% Nothing could exee-,1 the state of misery
tri %\ he'," :1:' eir garments were
ipy.e:ll,r by sloe.!s, a, none of them en-
Hyv•: !he COTT, n .lairt which, the
(.11:.!i,r, of htiN:4-1,; t1:J; tiwir appearance
truly deplorable.

Mr. HALLS inquired if any of the prisoners could
he identified as thieves or pickpockets, and as the
officers did not know any of them as such, he ex-
pressed his determination of inquiring seriatim into
the cases of the prisoners, in order to ascertain, if
possible, how far they were objects of compassion.
The first case was that of a miserable half-starved
man, who said his name was James Grogan; that he
was a native of Ireland, and had come to this country
abrait two mouths ago, but being disappointed in
finding work, and having no friends or relations to
whom he could apply for assistance, he was forced
to beg in the daytime, and seek for shelter in the ruins
at night. He added that he had been a soldier, and
had served at the battle of Waterloo in the 30th
Regiment of Foot.
Grogan, in reply to a question of the Magistrate,
said he had no pension whatever, having served only
13 years in the army, two of which were not counted,
as he had entered the service when under age.
When in Dublin, he had made repeated applications
to the Commander-in-Chief there, but he was al-
ways referred to the War-office in London, to which
place he understood his papers had been forwarded.
" Here, your Honour, is my discharge," added the
poor fellow, drawing from the lining of his coat,
where he had evidently placed it for security, a dirty
tattered piece of paper, which time Magistrate, upon
inspecting, found to be a discharge in the usual form.
Let him stand aside, said Mr. HALLS, that his
case may be further inquired into.
An able-bodied well-looking young fellow was
next examined. His name he said was Hoznessey,
and being also an Irishman, he had no legal settle-
ment in England. lie was willing to work, he said,
at any honest calling.
Mr. HALLS—What have you been bred to ?
Hennessey—l have followed no trade, your Wor-
ship, but I served in the coast blockade, until 1 was
discharged from it.
" For some misconduct, I suppose," observed
Mr. HALLS. " No, your Worship, for nothing
wrong," answered Hennessey. " I was paid off az
the end of three years, according to the custom of
the coast blockade, and I could get nothing to do
since the time I was discharged."
Mr. HALLS—" Pitt hint aside also," added the
Magistrate," and we will see what can be done for
him. I look upon both these poor fellows as objects
of great compassion."
The rest of the cases were then gone into sepa-
rately. 'nose whose examinations followed were
lads whose age varied from 12 to 18. Some had
lost both father and mother, and had led a vagabond
I life from necessity. It was remarkable that in almost
every instance the vagrants hail come from the place
of their legal settlement to take up their abode in rm
parish upon which they had no claim except as
casual poor. _ _

Mr. • HALLS having patiently investigated each
case, disposed of the batch of vagrants by sending
seven of them to the House of Correction for one
week, seven more received a shilling each from the
overseers of St. Martin's, and were told to mnke
the best of their way to their respective parishes,
and an officer was directed to accompany the poor
Wicerioo-man to the War-office, in order that his
case might be propeily investigated.
Ott Tuesday night a decent-looking elderly couple
came before Mr. HALLS in very great distress, and
told him that they came to beg assistance to enable
them to recover their child, a girl only 15 years old,
who had been seduced from her service in Long-
acre, and, they feared, induced to become an inmate
of some neighbouring brothel. Upson, an active
and intelligent officer, happening to be present at the
time, Mr. Halls left the matter in his hands, with
directions to use his best exertions to endeavour to
restore the misguided girl to her family and friends,
from whom, it appeared, she had been three weeki,
separated. Upson promised he would do his best,
and came yesterday to report to Mr. Halls the
result of his exertions. After searching seve•
rid houses of ill fame, he found the object
of his search in an infamous house, in King's-
place, Pall-mall. She was tricked out in all
the finery of a first-rate dress girl, and accord-
ing to her own account she had earned for her
villainous mistress no less a sum than 30/. a week.
She confessed to Upson that she had been induced
to quit her service owing to the representations of a
dress girl belonging to the same establishment, whom
she happened to meet in Long-acre. On being
a,ked if she would return to her friends she ex-
pres.sed her wilingness to go; and Upson accordingly
conveyed her to the house of one of her relations, a
respectable tradesman living in Wardour-street,
Soho. Here she was immediately surrounded by
15 or 16 persons, her near relations and friends, all
of whom expressed the most ardent joy at her rest°,
ration, her fuller, mother, and sisters being upon
her neck, and with tears in their eyes bewailed her
degradation, yet expressed the most ardent joy at
once more beholding the unfortunate girl. The
officer observed that in all his life he was never
witness to a scene half so affecting. The girl,
although but 15, had a face and figure of perfect
beauty.
Mr. HALLS told Upson that he had executed his
task in the most praiseworthy manner, and was en-
titled to the thanks of the parents end friends of the
unfortunate girl.
