POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—On Thursday a young woman, smartly
dressed, applied for a summons against some parish oficere, for
refusing to give her relief.
She stated to the Lord Mayor; that her husband had taken it
into his head to manifest some jealousy, and had refused to support
her; she had in consequence applied to the parish officers, who
refused to give her any relief.
There was a peculiarity in the manner of the applicant, and the
LoaD MAYOR remarked, that there was more in the case than

met the eye.
She stated, in answer to his Lordship's question* that she hid
left her husband for several weeks, but she declared that she bad
been living with a respectable family; . and had neither Were, not
since she left her home, given him any just cause ongfence.
The LORD MAYOR granted the summons, and yesterday .4.1* hr,
band came to answer it. He is a young man of very respaetena

appearance, and it was remarked that the complainant never enCe
ventured to look at him, nor to lift up her head after be entered

the Court.

He stated that he was clerk to a mercantile house,

and that he had married the female at the bar whilst he was in

good circumstances, and was capable of maintaining a family; he
ad had two children by her. At length, however, be was visited by
a paralytic stroke, which afflicted him for a considerable time, and
at that time he experienced much neglect from her, notwithstand-
ing that he had treated her with uniform tenderness. He was
induced to watch her, and he detected her in an adulterous act.
Her conduct on that occasion was so gross, that he not onlyfound
it his own duty, but he was required by his employer, to send her
from his house. He suffered most from the neglect of his chil-
dren ; he had allowed her ss. per week, but her conduct subse-
quently was such, that be could not think of continuing the -allow-
ance. She continued in a state of adulterous intercourse with her
new paramour.
The LORD Mavoa interrogated the complainant, and obtained
from her an admission which left not a doubt of the entire truth
of the young man's statement.
His Lordship then dismissed the case, declaring that he could
make no order in favour of one who was living in a state of adul-
terous intercourse.
The complainant was stupitied by the decision. She was
led Gut of Court, and she was immediately after seized with
hysterics. Her screams attracted a crowd round the Mansion-
house door, and she was carried into the Marshal's-office until
she recovered.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Sharpe England, the clerk to Mr.
Charles Sewell, hop factor, in the Borough, was brought before
Mr. Aldsrmau Waithman for final examination, on a charge Of
uttering a forged cheque for 3451. in the name of his employer,
with intent to defraud Messrs. 'Janina,- and Co., bankers; Lee-
bard-street. Mr. Bolland attended as Counsel for the prosecution,
and Mr. Law fur the prisoner. The deposition of Messrs. Han-
bury.'s clerk, that he paid the cheque, and gave the note, NO. 6957,
for 300/. in payment; and the deposition of 11.1 r, Hawley'a clerk,
that he received that note from the prisoner in payment of a
watch, were both read. The latter witness stated that the pri-
soner left 2001. at Mr. Hawley's, for which be did not rent. Ira ;
1001. of it was given up to Mr. Cope, the. Marshal; and the
other was put into circulation, Mr. Goble, a hop factor, and
Mr. Isaac Sewell, brother to Mr. Charles Sewell, both ewers that
the signature to the cheque was not Mr. Charles Sewell's hand-
writing. The latter gentleman was in court ready to pros the
fact, but could not be called for the prosecution, and the pri-
soner's Counts! declined to examine him. The prisoner was corn-
Mitted- for trial.'

BOW-STREET.--Acrow, TO Wtr.—This was a charge of
assault and battery on the one side, and of threatening or attenspe
ing to shoot on the other. The facts which were elicited before
Sir Richard Birnie were these : Mr. Frisby, a tradesman at Ay,-
ton, in Middlesex, had become hail for a Mr. Rose of the same,
place, who ought to have surrendered himself to the action at the
commencement of the present Term ; but ever since that period
he had been out of the way. Mr. Frisby employed two men to
watch Mr. Rose's house, day and night, to take him if be should
return thereto. On Wednesday night, about 11 o'clock, Mr.
Frisby and his two assistants entered the house, and asked him
R. if her husband was at home? She replied that he was not.
They insisted upon searching the house, and Mr. Frisby, who bad
a gun in his hand, was so violent, that Mrs. Rose, who was in an
advanced stage of pregnancy, became alarmed ; she screamed, and
Mr. Collet, a neighbour, hearing her cries, went to her assistance,
and remonstrated with Mr. Frisby upon his illegal conduct, and
by *lice ejected him from the house.—This was the assault com-
plained of by Mr. Frisby.
Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he could easily conceive that Mr.
Frisby might be very naturally irritated by the circumstances of
Mr. Rose absconding from his bail ; but he was not justified in
going to that man's house in the dead hour of the night, with
fire arms, and forcibly searching the premises ; he (Sir R. Birnie)
was not surprised that Mr. Collet should have rendered assistance
to a defenceless woman in the situation of Mrs: Rope.
Mr. Frisby said, that what he had done had been perfectly
legal. He had acted under the advice of his Solicitor, Mr.
Downing.
Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he was quite sure Mr. Downing never
had advised him to take a loaded gun upon the occasion.
Mr. HALLS said, that he thought the interference of Mr. Collet
on the occasion was perfectly called for.—The case was dismissed.

lad, was brought up for final examination, charged with having
been one of a gang who robbed Captain Thomas Molloy, at
Bethnal-green, on the 31st of last August. One of the gang,
named Cotman has been since convicted and transported for
the offence. Mr. Molloy proved that about the middle of the
day in question, as he was walking through a field, near Beth-
nal-green, two young men rushed suddenly past him, one of
whom snatched his watch-ribbon, which broke, and ran off'
with his seal and key. Witness gave an alarm, and the robbers
were pursued, but escaped. He could not identify the prisoner
as one of them. Three witnesses stated that they saw a gang of
six lads sitting in a field, who, on the approach of Mr. Molloy,
went behind a house, and changed clothes ; two of them then
rushed by Mr. Molloy ; the witnesses instantly heard him cry
4, Stop thief!" and joined in the pursuit, but. the robbers escaped.
The prisoner was one of the party. The prisoner was committed
for trial.
LAMBETH-STREET.—_A young man named John Smith,
wbo, it was stated, was the son of a Captain in the army, was
charged with felony. A young woman named Absolen4 who is
engaged by Mr. Osborne, a haberdasher in Shoreditch, said, on
Friday evening the prisoner came to Mr. Osborne's shop, and
asked to see some black silk stockings; she took down some parcels
to look for them, in one of which were four pair of white silk
stockings, which the prisoner snatched up and ran away with.
The duplicates of two pair of the stockings were found in his pos-
session. Another charge was preferred by Mr. Harrold, a hosier
of Whiteohapel, for stealing 51. 10s. The prisoner was corn-
