POLIES REPOR I'S.

OUILIDHALL.—Yestaday, a young nun, named Hort* Mist, was
brought up, charged by Solomon Davies, one of the officers employed at
the Hebrew Institution, in Randolph-street, Camden Town, with steal-
ing some articles of apparel from that Institution.
The complainant stated that the prisoner was one of three young men
who had run sway from the Institution a few days since, carrying away
with them some apparel, and as he could not, he believed, make out a
case against him, till the others were apprehended, he should not press
for his detention at that time. The articles belonged to the Institution,
the object of which was to furnish a receptacle to which any Israel-
its may resort for instruction in the Christian religion, and for con-
stant work and homely subsistence. Every inmate is required to
learn or to exercise some trade, and the prisoner had been employed in
shoemaking.
A respectable Hebrew said the prisoner was a foreigaa, and did
not know what be was charged with. He was mat by the com-
plainant, and invited to the Institution, with the promise of having
clothes and food furnished to him, which promise was kept; but
when he found he was to be baptised on the New Yearlnday, (with
the Jews,) he became alarmed, and quitted the Institution, but he had
committed no crime.

Mr. Alderman TRORPIC said he would give the complainant an op-
portunity of making out his char by remanding the prisoner for fur.
Cher examination at the Manaion-house, on Thursday.
The prisoner was remanded.
Bow•STAILICT.—Mr. Simpson, a tradesman in the Strand, came yes-
terday to complain that he was subjected to a great annoyance in umse-
queue of the conduct of one Mr. Pitt, a house-agent and a neighbour of
his. Mr. Pitt, it appeared, bad lately taken a lodging in a court near
Mr. Shnpson's house, and in his business-seeking advertisements he took
the liberty of referring to Mr. Simpson's house as his own place of abode.
The consequence was, that Mr. Simpson was pestered all day long with
persons of all descriptions and denominations, who came to answer his
neighbour's advertisements. One day Mr. Pitt had advertised three om-
nibuses for sale, and upwards of 50 coachmsaters, cab-men, and others,
called during the same day, and many of them would not believe Mr.
Simpson when he told them that he knew nothing of Mr. Pitt or the
omnibuses. Next appeared an advertisement of a public-house to be
let, and about forty publicans came ' • one of whom, who appeared to
have imbibed no inconsiderable quantity of gin, stripped off his coat,
and threatened to give Mr. Simpson a d— good hiding, for telling
him a Ile. In short, Mr. Simpson said he was so pestered, that it
occupied half the time of himself and shopmen to answer the applies-
dons for Mr. Pitt; and he hoped their Worships would assist him in
putting a step to the nuisance.
Mr. Idursiftru. said the annoyance was doubtless very greet, but a
INgistrate could give him no assistance; his only tremedy was at
civil law.
MST-Lz-nosz.—Yesterday a hackney coachman brought a young
woman named Baker, to the , for not paying him his fare. He
said be was called that morning to take up the defendant, at the Ss-
racen's Head Inn, fAldgate, and drive her and two infant children,
she bad with ber, to No. 65, High-street, Mary-le-bone. She told
him she lived in Ipswich, and her -husband had deserted her, and she
was come to town to find her husband's father that she might get
support. Her husband's father had lived in High.street ; but he left
it, and went into the service of the Duke of Bd&rd. He drove her
then to the Duke's house in Belgrave-square, Pirnlko, and her father.'
in-law was gone from there ; and after driving her elsewhere without
finding him she had no money to pay him with, and he brought her be-
fore a Magistrate.
Mr. 4311.1171 TH thought the coachman's hope was a forlorn one;
but, finding she had two trunks of apparel at the Saracen's Head,
the coachman determined to drive her back again, and try his chance
there.

Maur-mitows.—A good looking middle-aged man. in a black suit
of livery, was placed at the bar. He had a large Bible under his arm,
and throwing his bead and chest back, and folding his arms across his
body, he assumed a most extraordinary attitude, and hearing the Ma.
gistrate inquire of the police.inspector his name, be said James Corks
Of this unfortunate person it was represented by Mr. John Poyyer
Griffith, that he lived with John Poyyer, Esq. of No. 7, Russell.p6a,
Fitzroy-square, as butler. He had always conducted himself with the
greatest propriety, but on Saturday, at lunching time, he used a most
remarkable expression towards a young lady of the family. His appear-
ance was instantly that of a person deranged, and his conduct alarmed
all the females, and threw one of them into fits.
Mr. John Pearson, of Gower.atreet, dined with Mr. Poyyer on Sun-
day, and then again the family was thrown into consternation, and all
left the room but the witness. The butler on that occasion took up a
knife, and ran round the room with it, and when be found all had Bed
excepting Mr. Pearson, he said to him, " Stand of, keep your distance,
mind that," and it was necessary to have him secured.
Mr. Rawimrsox asked the butler—" My good man, what is the
occasion of this extraordinary conduct on your part ?"
And he replied, with great solemnit Ask my GOD."
Mr. Poyyer Griffith thought the po who secured him could,
I give further evidence respecting the unsoundness of his mind.
Mr. Rawr.ixsow said the answer he had given to his question was
quite sufficient without any thing more; trod be was placed under the
care of the parish officers of St. Pancras.
Quzzw-satraaz.--Yesterday, Marten Fires was trouOt up for
further examination, charged with the murder of James Parlor, a car.
vier, at Fulham, in the month of Sept. 1828.
The inspector of the V. division stated, that he bad applied to the
Coroner, Mr. Higgs, and procured a copy of the depositions taken on
the occaon. The inquest was held on the 18th of September, 1828,
and adjourned to the 19th, when, in the absence of witnesses, the Jury
returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons
unknown." _ _

It appeared that the witnesses who were examined at the inquest had
been sent to, but none of them could be found. The only evidence
given at the inquest was, that the deceased had, after returning from
London on a Saturday, in the month of September, 1828, went out
about eleven o'clock at night to second a man to light. There was a
row amongst them, and the deceased was beaten in such a dreadful
manner, that be was taken to St Georges Hospital, where be expired
in about a week. - -

The prisoner called two witnesses, who swore that be was in bed
on the night in question, at nine o'clock, and never went out afterwards.
The principal witness against the prisoner who accused him at the
station-house has absconded, and the prisoner was discharged on his
own promise to appear next Tuesday.

Souk wire brought before Mr. WYATT, for final examination, on a
char of being concerned with a porter, named Smith, husband to the
female prisoner, in an extensive robbery on Mr. Cohen, of Great St.
Helen's.
The female, on a farmer examination, had been admitted as evi.
deuce, and had made some important disclosures. But Mr. Wooler,
who attended for the prima% contended that her testimony was road.
missible by Mr. Peels Act, which prevented a wife, under any ciraun.
stances, giving evidence which would tend to criminate her husband.
It was evident, however, in her examination of yesterday, that she had
been tampered with, as she denied all knowledge of the transaction, re.
fused to be sworn, and stated that her previous disclosures had been
extorted from her by Mr. Cohen, who had threatened to transport her,
unless she made a confession.
Mr. WooLza said that her evidence, under that threat, if it were
proved, could net be received ; and it was et length decided by Mr.
Nobler, junarhe attended for the prosecution, to reject her as a witness,
and to bib her in the felony as a parifeep orimitas.
The pelealea, desire of Mr. Woola, declined offering any thing
in their dines, andy the witnesses spina than being bound over to
prostates, they were fully committed for trlaL
