, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
--•.--
BOW-STREET.

Meaner Stewart, the wife of a eostermonger, was brought up
before G. H. Minute:J. Esq. on a warrant charging her with as-
saulting one Miss K ToLtall.
Miss Tumuli began her statement, by informing his Worship
that her mother keeps a little chandler's shop in George-street, St.
Giles's ; and a few evenings back, the defendant came into the shop
11 and asked for half a kmartern of the best denble Gloucester cheese,
which being cut for her, she refused to pay fot it, protesting that it
was not weight, and insisted on its being weighed without the paper;
which being refused, as they could not afford to give afarehises walk
of paper, with/we/or:kings worth of cheese, the heroic Mrs. Stewart
commenced a general assault on the stock of the shop, breaking
the candles, mugs, mousetraps, and lollypop' in great style, and
after demolishing everything within reach, made a grand finish, by
rubbing a hot sauuettger all over the pretty face of the prosecutriz.
Poor Nelly, who now looked as innocent as an wnshorn lamb, in
defence acknowledged that she was a little the wet se for having
taken a flash of lightning or two, and declared that she did not do
any harm until they bad sent two red herrings and a handful amid
plump in her face. •
Mr. Mnantuzz ordered her to find bail, to/keep the pease toward'
the Tunstall family, but advised an amicable arrangement, which
by the interference of the husband was agreed to.
