POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Benjamin White, a
man about SO years of age, having the appearance of a
horse-dealer, was brought before THOMAS HALLS, Esq.,
and Sir Jolts DASHWOOD KING, the Sitting Magistrates,
charged with stealing two valuable bay cob geldings, and
two saddles and two bridles, the property of the Rev.
Henry Hasker, of Heckfield, Hampshire. The prisoner
was also charged with stealing at the same time a chesnut
mare belonging to Mr. Henry Burgess, of the same place.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he bought the saddles,
&c. at a sale.

The Magistrates committed him fully for trial, for steal-
ing the horses and saddles.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--Yesterday a young
fellow, named William Harris, was brought before Sir
GEORGE FARRANT, charged with a daring robbery at the
house of the Earl of Harewood, in Hanover-square. He
was fully committed.
HATT ON-G ARDEN. —A desperate-looking virago,
with only one eye, named Catherine Kane, daughter to a
woman who was executed for murdering a man in the
neighbourhood of Gray's-inn-lane about sixteen months
ago, was brought in custody to this office, by Waddington
the officer, charged with attempting to murder a young
woman named Catherine Fitzgibbon, the servant of Mr.
Ireland, the keeper of the Castle wine-vaults, in Tuthel-
street, Gray's-inn-lane.

Catherine Fitzgibbon, who was dreadfully disfigured
about the face, deposed, that on the evening of the 4th of
the present month, while serving round liquor for her
master, she was waylaid by the prisoner in Gray's-inn-lane,
who, without the slightest provocation, knocked her down,
kicked her, and leaped on her until she became quite in-
sensible. When she recovered her senses, which was about
two hours after, she found herself in her own bed, out of
which she was unable to get for three or four days.
Mr. Ireland stated, that he found the last witness quite
in a state of insensibility, lying on her back, literally in a
sea of blood. The prisoner said, that if she had not done
her job on that occasion, she would take care to do it on the
next. Another woman, named Sheen, a companion of the
prisoner, desired her to serve the last witness in the same
way her mother had the Irishman. The prisoner was, in
fact, a most ferocious character, and he had no doubt, if
the Magistrates suffered her to go at large, she would put
her threat into execution.

Waddington said be had been after the prisoner for some
days, and it was by the greatest chance he succeded in ap-
prehending her that day.
The prisoner, in her defence, said that the prosecutrix
was always in the habit of casting her mother's death in
her teeth every time she met her, which so incensed her
on the evening in question, that she gave her one or two
blows, but did nothing more.
Catherine Fitzgibbon declared that she never did what
the prisoner charged her with ; indeed, she was not aware
of the circumstance until that moment.
Mr. Ireland said, he believed the real cause of the gross
assault committed on the last witness was because she ob-
tained the situation vacant in his house, which some rela-
tive of the prisoner's expected to get.
The prisoner was committed to prison in default of bail.
On Monday last a man named Cullen, a baker, re-
siding in Chalton-street, Somers-town, was placed at the
bar of this office, upon a charge of having obtained up-
holstery to the amount of S 3/. from a Mr. J. Walker, of
96, High Holborn, under a false pretence.
The case stands over till Saturday.

SHIPWRECK.—The Rob Roy, from Belfast,
with 150 settlers, stranded on the night of the 80th ult.
on the shoals of l'lslet, in the St. Lawrence. The people
were much exhausted by their sufferings during the night.
Some remained on the vessel, others took to the boats..—.
Those who were left on board were only landed on the Ist
about three o'clock in the afternoon. Of these sonic were
dead and others dying. There are at this moment seven-
teen dead bodies in one house, men, women, and children,
but chiefly of the latter; these will be interred to-morrotv.
At another house there are seven other bodies. If these
unfortunate settlers had disembarked at low water, when
the vessel first went ashore, none of them would have
perished. One woman had lost her five children, and she
and her husband are in a state of delirium. --American

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 14.
MILBURNE AGAINST CODD AND ANOTHER.

The Comstoti SERGEANT stated that this was an action
by an attorney of the Court to recover 481., the amount of
his bill of costs for professional business done for the de-
fendants. The plaintiff and the defendants had been all
connected with the Carriers' Company, and that might be
urged as a ground of defence; but the plaintiff was not ap-
plied to for his professional assistance until after that Com-
pany was dissolved. The defendants were arrested for lia-
bilities contracted by them as members of the Company,
they sent for the plaintiff to put in bail for them, and em-
ployed him to defend the actions. For the business thus
done he has been forced to bring the action.
Lord TENTERIDEN.-If the Jury thought the defendants
had employed the plaintiff, they would give a verdict for
that portion of the plaintiff's bill of costs which related to
the defence of the actions brought, but not for the charges,
for taking counsel's opinion, or for any thing done before
putting in bail.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff...—Damages
34/. 16e. 2d.
