POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

.1111•1MMIMI•
Bow-ferasen—Yesterday Mr. James Thomas, a clock-maker
and manufacturer of weighing-maeldnes, was brought before
THOMAS HALLS and I. Wiciums, Esqrs. charged with sundry
acts of cruelty and ill-treatment to his apprentice, Charles
Leader, a. lad of about 14 years of age.
The complaint was preferred at the instance of the boy's pa-.
rents, who are persons in the humble walks of life, and of a Gen-
denten of the law, named Abrahams, who is distantly related to
them, and humanly interested himself in the lad's behalf. lie
h it appeared, been apprentice to the-defendant about twelve
months, during which time-the latter had used him extremely
ill. Upon one occasion he beat hint with a stick about three
inches in circumference (a piece of which was produced), until
he broke it in three or four pieces. Another time, in the presence
of the boy's father, he took him op in his arms and squeezed bins
until be could scarcely breathe, and swore he would cut his
tht'oat. This kind of treatment was repeated in a number of
instances, and the defendant often Said he would be the death or
him—he never should serve out his apprenticeship. A short
time ago he chose thatthe boy should not go, as was his custom,
to see his parents on the Sunday, and he took away his shoes and
hat, and compelled him to give up the key of his boxes. On
another Sunday he obliged the boy to go to Paddington from
Kentisktown, and drive borne a parcel of pigs which he bad
purchased. He was allowed water only to drink at his meals.
He was at length unable any longer to bear this treatment, and
he ran away to his parents; and hence the present proceeding.
This was the statement of the boy, and when he was describing
I the beating with the stick, Mr. Thomas, with some violence of
gesture, clapped his hand upon his (the boy's) mouth, and said,
" How dare-ye, you scoundrel?"
Alr. Harm.—How are you, Sir, use such language and ger
turnhere ? You have convinced me, almost more than the boy's
evidence had done, what sort of master you are, and I shall deal
with you accordingly.
In his defence, Mr. Thomas denied that he had ever treated
• the bey with cruelty, aid accused the parents of having abetted
him in his misconduct upon various occasions. He said the boy
had run away two or three times.
The boy's father said he had never run away, except when be
was driven to do so by the treatment of his master.
Mr. Thomas called three witnesses in his behalf, all of whom,
however, completely conoborated the boy's atatement, at least
the Magistrates expressed themselves of that opinion.
The buy beta added, that his master'opon one occasion threw
him down sad stamped upon Inns.
Mr. Thomas begged to observe, that the Stick With Which he
had beaten the boy was very small *the middle, though large at
Sac. f} aril. It was a tool used in his business, and was called a
a drill-bow."

Mr. Meths.—You kad bettor recollect in future, Sir, that it
is not to be used as a drilibiw for Sour apprentices. It is. a
' hilbly improper to cm fat the purpose of correcting
box ; and I am s~urpdied that a map could so far forget him-
self as to use it in such a manner. Mr. HALLS was proceeding
to make same further remarks, when be was interrupted by
Mr. Thomas, whe said his Worship %ad taken quite a wrens
view of the rase.
Mr. lints.—l will thank you not to interrupt me, Sir. I
an not your apprentice, thank goy.
Mr.Tbomas.—lf yeti were, perhaps you would not be badlycir.
Mr. HALLS lotiked at the-defendant, but add nothing.
After a litsgror'llnethltt. the Magistrates ordered the Wen-
tures to be cancelled, e 4 directed tie defendant to return AI
of the preinium (CIO were originally given) to the boy's
friends. The defendant retired, expressing great dissatisfaction
at this decision.

with having fraudulently, and upon false pretences, obtainei
from Mr. Moses Cashmore, jeweller, of Bevis-Marks, jeweller!
to the amount of .C7O.

Mr. Cashmore stated, that the prisoner kept a dashing hops
at No. 9, Manchester-buildings. Witness had, through the ie.
dlum of the Lady's agent or brbker, Mr- Barnet, for a long that
past, discounted small bills for her, all of which he believed h&j
been honoured. All these bilks were in the name of Elizibetli
Emmer, and in all his transactions with her he understood the
was her maiden name, and that she was a single woman.
.SS,
at length made from him a purchase of jewellery to the almost
of £7O, and gave him as security a warrant of attorney ante
goods, in the name of Emmer. The purchase was made it Uzy;
but subsequently he found it necessary'to put in force the
rant, when the prisoner got rid of it. consequences by sweariq
that she was not a single but a married woman, and that he
name was Elizabeth Saxy or Saxby. The witness swore poi

their that he only let her have chi goods upon thetehcf.
she was a single wcnian. _

Barnet Barnet, the broker or agent of the prisoner, swffreth
he had always acted for her as a single woman, and that Its
name was not Elisabeth Emmer.

On behalf of the prisoner a profes•ional Gentleman atten4l4
and put several objections, which were overruled by the lAs
Maivon. He offered to prove that.the prisoner had gone by ti
name of Sasby, and was reputed to he a married woman; k
the Loan MAvoa considered that the case sworn to by the Fes
genitor was so clear as to render itarureerative upon him to sal
it to a Jury to try its merits. The prisoner was therefore
dered to be committal on the charge of obtaining the goods 61%.
dulently, but it was intimated that good bail of twice the a,
of the goods would be taken for her appearance.

A second charge was made against the prisoner by a pno
looking man named Joseph Crabbe. He stated that he had l
the prisoner have a bine satin pelisse, in the belief that she was a
single Woman, when it turned our afterwards that she wu mar•
tied. alse told hind her name was Mrs. Emmer.
• The LORD Meroa.—Did you ask her whether she was a siss.

Prosecutor.—No, my Lord ; I durst not ask such a fine lady
as this whether she was married or not.
The Loan Mayon.—Then, its she called herself Mn how
came you to believe that she was single—single women gene
rally call themselves Misses ?
The Prosecutor.—l judged her to be single from her anion
The Lose blavoa.—Judge het to be tingle from hersetiseni
what actions?

The Prosecutor.—Why, if she had been a married woman, I
should have thought she would not have had a strange Copal
living alone in the house with her—(Much laughter).
The prisoner, who, during the examination, had smiled at do
charge. and conducted herself with easy elegance, here beam
' greatly incensed, said the Captain who lodged in her house wa
a Gentleman of honour and respectability, and it was a died.
ing thing that a set of vile Jews should be allowed to coos al
swear against her. She knew very well they were all.leaguei
together. _ _

It was stated- to the Lord Mayor that there was a ember
other eases which would be brought against the prisoner as
as her apprehension became known.
The Loan MAYOR was of opinion thlbithe charge of obtahii
by false pretence had not been made out in the last case. It,
was there only a matter of debt, which the party might recover
at law. The first case, his Lordship thought, was 'Anne
