POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Tatertlois Male', a law-stationer, accompanied by Ms
Thomas, his step-sister, applied for a warrant to apprehend his wife,
for 'morning a watch, the property of Miss Thomas. Mr. Hurley
said, his family were highly respectable in Dublin, where, some
Mrs no, be becalm acquainted with his wife, at that time an ac-
tress, and married her, which incurred the displeasure of his family,
end he came to London. Six children were the offspring of their
union ; but his wife, instead of setting them a virtuous example, be-1
came addicted to drinking, and set them such a pattern as could
Namely fail to corrupt their morals. lie therefore, with sortte4iF
lenity, separated from her; but she continued to haunt his abode,
raising a riot, and uttering the most gross obscenities. In vain Ire
changed his residence ; she continued to haunt him like an evil aei-'
rit, and annoy him in every possible
way. At length his father, op
hearing of his miserable situation, prevailed on hir step sista to sr*
Dublin, and reside with him, in order to look after his children;
but the annoyance still continued, and at the heat visit she centrivell
to possess herself of a gold watch and other articles belonging Colds
sister, which he has found she had pledged.—The warrant was 1+
stantly granted.
Lucy Marko was again brought up on tire charge of felony,
Mrs. Wood, of Gracee.hurch-street, attended; but her ea'
failed in bringing home the charge of theft to the prisoner, who w
again remanded, it being stated that another charge would be
brought against her on a future day.
ATTO GA R DEM.
A Lure Pecrreeroe.—Yesterday, '
a Mr. Frederick &Ad Hughes,
was brought up in the custody of Thistleton the sneer, charged
Micajah 1 Walker,

with having assaulted Mr. Hilditih Complainant
staled that he had been on terms of intimacy with the defendant,
but having had some dispute a few evenings ago with him he
wrote him a letter, declaring that be would no longer know him,
nod " taking an everlasting farewell." On the defendant receiving
}be letter, he forced himself into his master's chambers, and in-
flicted on his tither avowing or disavowing the letter. On his de-
clining both, by saying " I don't know you, Sir," the defendant
was proceeding to violence, when he called out to a friend to hand
him his " life protector," a weapon which every Gentleman now.
a-days carries. On, however, the appearance of the master, the
6 life protector" was not required, as he turned the whole party,
out of the office. On their again meeting, in Serie-street, Lincoln's-:
inn, and the question of the letter being renewed, the defendant
gave a slap on the cheek to Mr. M. Walker, upon which he pulled
out his " life protector," end aiated a blow at the other's beads,
which was arrested by the hand of a bystander.
The Magistrate obterved, thA the case was very clear in regard]
to an assault having been committed, and ordered the defendant tet
find bail.—The t‘ life protector" (which by the way, might with
Much more propriety be corned a " life destroyer") was exhibited..
For the iolormation of our vulgar Waders, who du not carry suchl
murderous weapons, we describe it thus " A plait of leather midi
whalebone, about twelve inches long, with two knobs of solid lead;
at either end, calculated to strike twice at one blow, and with the
most fatal effect. It is capable of being secreted in the pocket, 01.1
up the sleeve of the coat.

Close stated, that she was sent by Hampton, a constable, to the pri-1
suner's house, in Petticoat-lane' to purchase three base half-crownsi
of him, which she accordingly did, for es. 6d. Hampton confirmed.
the above and stated, that if the prisoner was remanded for three er!

AI A RY-L A-BONNR.
Thursday evening an Honourable Baronet came to -this Mice,
and was introduced to Mr. GRIFFITH, the Magistrate, in his pri.
vate house, adjoining the Office (the latter being closed), and said,
that lie had seen in the Papers an account of a female named Julia
Nornimibury, in custody for uttering a Gash note for 1001. which
she had received from a Gentleman, who stated that he resided in
Portman-square, and as he believed the girl was perfectly innocent
of any attempt to defraud Itlr. Leake of the 20 sovereigns which
she obtained in change for the note, he (the Lion. Baronet) would
pay the money, W. which was deficient.
The MagLstrate said that he believed the girl. was unaware that
the note, instead of a proltis..nry one to pay the suns of 1001. was
merely a promise to cut and dress hair equal to any auxin England,
or forfeit too/. and applauded-the Gentleman's bounty. Mr. Glim-
mer received the money, and it was applied sr the Rooms
Baronet requested:' due was of discharged: •
Mr. Pearson, landlord of the Sun and Sportsman, ap-
peared at the Ofbce, charged with suffering the gape id elk
to be played at his house on Thursday night last. •
Wt. Pearson, in his defence, said that be took the bagatelle-board.
from the former landlord of the house, and did not know he was
doing wrong, as no betting was allowed, and it was merely for the
amusement of the company.
The Magistrate convicted him in the mitigated penalty of 40s. and
costs, upon his undertaking to discontinue the practice in future.

A BENEFIT CI.FII.—A poor woman, named Elizabeth Guy, sym.
mooed the `Secretary of a Benefit Club, to shew cause why be did
not pay her the sum of money allowed by the articles of the Society
for her husband's interment. It appeared that her husband had
been a member many years, and the Secretary said that there were
only 2s. in the box, so that it wai impossible to meet her demand.
Ile, however, admitted that there were £ICO in the Bank of knr:
land, but he could not touch that money on account of the stock
broker being out of town.
The Magistrates said, that these societies were miscalled Benefit
Clubs, and told the Secretary that he must become responsible for
the expenses to the undertaker, to which he acceded.

Janus Davis, a one-armed young man, well known to the police,
was examined on a charge of stealing an elegant table-clock, with a
bronze Cupid driving a Roman cAr, the horses rampant, the pro-
perty of Henry Hare Townsend, Eq. front his residence at M9lallt
Pleasant, Tottenham.
The prosecutor, a Septuagenarian of honourable distinction in the
fashionable and sporting circles, • was we believe, the Gentleman
upon whom the celebrated George Barrington committed the act
of depredation for which ho was traosported to Botany Bay. He
was in attendance, accompanied by Colonel Woodroffe.
Two of the prosecutor s servants identified the prisoner as a per-
son who had been seen in company with another, by one of them
sitting on the steps of o fountain in the court-yard in front of th;
prosecutor's house, the day preceding the robbery, and by the other,
walking across the court-yar4 in the direction of the windoworitbin
a very short time of the robbery.
No trace of the missing dock having been yet discovered, the
prisoner was remanded for a'week, to give time for further inquiry,
and for the attendance of some of the pronmaitor's servants.

An Inquest was held on Thursday, OR the bodiea of
the unfortunate persons killed by the falling of a cotton-
mill at Nlancliester, an account of which we gave yes-
terday, before Mr.Mitns. The verdict was as follows:,
....064 That the deceased, in each case, were killed by the
accidental falling of a cotton-mill in Salford, the pro-
perty of Nathan Gough." Several others (says the
Stockport Advertiser) are reported to be dead.
A numerous and highly respectable Meeting took
place yesterday morning at the Horns Tavern, pursuant
to a printed invitation to the inhabitants of Kennington,
to signify their assent or dissent to the settlement of a
bill of 8001. claimed by Mr. Thomas Evans, of Ken-
nington, for law expenses. Many Gentlemen delivered
their opinions, and a resolution for an appeal to the
Quarter Sessions was carried unanimously.-

INTERISTING WOMICL—We think we could help our
friend Jonathan W. Donbikinlo a few remarks not alto-
gether undeserving of a place among his truly inge-
nious observations on this country. For instance, had
he looked once or twice at the Police Reports of our
Newspapers, he might, perhaps, on perceiving how the
females who figure there are generally described, have
been led to the following conclusion : " In Finland,
fall the interesting looking women are carried before a

INSOLYRIfir DEbrolle cotinr, OCT.! 4.
T. Whittington, late of Cross, Somerset, innkeeper,
was opposed on behitlf of two creditors, named Fry and
Crandon. It appeared that the insolvent entered upon
the New Inn, at Cross, in May last, of which Mr. pry.
was the owner. He agreed to let it at the yearly rent
of £.,50 a year. Mr. Fry had seized on furniture belong.
ing to the insolvent's predecessor,

purchased to the amount of £l7O, and which he was to
pay for by instalments as rent. The insolvent took his
own furniture to the inn, where he had not been mutlt
more than two mouths before Fry, who is an attorhev,
put in a distress for £199. ss. lid. for rent, which was

*M of Mr. Parker, he ever stated that he would force r.
Crandon to trial,.apd put him to expense, and then go
to prison and Wipe all off. He admitted that his wife
was in the receipt of £6O a year, by virtue of the will
of her grandfather, but over which he had no controul,
An affidavit swotn by Mr. Parker, a surgeon, residing
at Cross, was put in, which set forth that the insolvent,
in deponent's hearing, refused the at bitration sugge'ted,
and declared he would go to trial for the purpose of
putting the Flaintif to expense. Upon this affidavit
rested the present opposition; but the COURT thought
that by the procedure of Fry the insolvent was ousted
out of the means of defence, and ordered the insolvent
to be discharged forthwith.
