POLICE INTELLICEN L.

MA StIOROUGA-STRICT--13111.T.171:10 OF SOLDIKIL3.-Nt'ttrdai
a publican appeared to answer a summons unler the Mutiny Act,
for refusing to afford proper aceommodatiOn to two seldiera cf
the Guards that were billetted upon him. The soldiers gated,
that when they went to the house the defendant told them they
might remain in the tap-roam if they thm;ghtsproper, brit they
should have no beds; they in consequence went away, and pro.
cured b;:ei eluwhire. The defendant denied this statement, and
prxioc'ed his servant girl, who proved that the beds lied actu.
ally been prepared for the soldiers before they left the house, and
they mutt lt.ve either misunderstood him, or gone aw:,y r„_
poidy to have him fined: The Magistrate, however, considered
the evidence of the soldiers conclusi7c, and fined him 40s.

Ih'.ll,y, an Irishwoman, posars,ing a very expressive at.{
intelligent countenance, was charged at this Office with the as.
Gumption of a knowledge of future events. On all ocrasioas,
when she exercised her mysterious art, she 25.:eated to be both
deaf and dumb, and always wrote down the fate of those val.,
consulted her on a slate. Unfortunately for Mrs. Key, and fw!
the cause of liberty, she could feel no inspiration as regarded
future events, until seine coin of the realm, either of silver t,c
gold, was produced ; but she genet ally forgot either to finish :14
prophecy or return the money ; and tot one of these acts ef:::g
ligenie towards a person in the employrn2nt of Mrs. Edwerds;
a dress-maker, in the Regent's Quadrant, Mrs. Kelly now stood
to answer at the bar. The Magistrate, without the ,lightes:
pectation or idea of working, a miracle, asked her, in the com-
mon routine manner, if she had anything to say against tLe
charge ?—Mrs. Kelly shook her head very significantly, but this
was not sufficient to satisfy the Magistrate, and he uroared that
she should be sent for one month to amuse herself at the tread.
mill —The moment this last dreadful word was uttered. the deal
and dumb Mrs. Kelly suddenly burst upon her astonished audi-
tors such a torrein of eloquence as smight have been serviceable
to her in a better cause—she confessed that her organs of speed'
bad always been as perfect as they appeared then ; hut as she vs
compelled by dlvtms to adopt the profession of tk,une-telling,
she thought it would throw a degree of interest ab !tit her cha.
r.tcter it she appeared to be deaf and dumb.—The Magistrate
said, that she t ichly deserved punishment for the imposture alone;
and, on the whole, be saw no reason to alter the sentence he had
given, and she was accordingly sent to try her fortune at the
House of Correction.

Bow-Sumx.—The attention of the Magistrates at this °Set
was engaged for the grelter part of two days last week, and again
yesterday, in hearing the following case t— Mr. H ughes, a mune.
seller in Prince's-street, Leicester-square, was summoned to
answer to an information fur " unlawfully publi'hing a certain
book, the same not having the name of the printer thereto."
The late Dr. Canton possessed the exclusive copyright of the
" Red Cross Knight" and his other works, and at his death the
copyright devolved to his widow and family. Several of the
minor music-sellers had pirated them, and were selling them u
the price of 9d. which was originally ss. and now 2s. 641.
Mr. Hughes had maintained that the music being an engraved
and not a printed book, it was exempted from the Act. The
Magistrates however thought other Wise, and yesterday (the rot
having been adjourned till then), Mr. Hughes promised to al:
stain from selling any but the authorised editions of Dr. Call-
COIL% pieces, and the information (as well as a similar one against
another music-seller) was withdrawn. .
An information for a similar offence was a few days ago laid
against Mr. William Boag, of Great Turnstile, Holboni, Music.

Callcott said he should not enforce without other copies were

present from her mistress), at four o'clock on Sunday morning,
was brought up, having been detained by a watchman in Bruns.
wick.square, on suspicion of having stolen the property. It was
in vain that his having the property was accounted for, and bad
offered ; and the loving couple spent the day and night in est
Wambhouse, instead of celebrating their wedding. The Lady
of Captain Granger attended yesterday, and entered into expb.
nations that produced the swain's immediate discharge.
