BOW-STREET.

Memos or msz Tutu.—Mr. Corder, the Vestry Clerk or Sr.
Paul, Covent-garden, In attending yesterday to answer to the com-
plaints of some paupers who claimed relief, observed to Mr. 'MIN-
I wore, " I assure you, Bit, I am not at all disposed to withhold
relief from any one wbo has a legal claim ; but in the present state
of our finances, and the enormous claims every day made upon
them, lam constrained to be very cautious. Many of our tate
payers are as much in need of relief as the rate receivers, and I
assure you that persons not holding offidal situations of the kind
which I have the honour to fill, can have but little conception of
the distress which unhappily prevails. In my communication.
with the authorities of other parishes, I find that distress eking
in a degree truly alarming—that every parish in the metropolis al-
most is suffering dreadfully from the pressure of the times—al...l
that hundreds are nearly perishing from want every day, many of
whom have been rate payers themselves."
Mr. Mannuat. said he was aware that great distress did eti,t,
and he could only bops that Parliament would be able to nevi-e
some effectual means for relieving it.

HATTON-GARDEN.
James Colinas was yesterday charged with robbing Mr. Sutton,
ironmonger, Red Lion-street, Holborn.
Mr. Sutton deposed that he had discovered that the prisoner,
wbo was in his employ, bad been robbing him for some time past,
and if the Magistrate would grant him a search warrant apinst a
party be named, to whom the prisoner bad sold the articles, he bad
no doubt he should be able to find a quantity of his property.
The Magistrate granted the search warrant, and the prisoner
was remanded.

Henry Skinner was committed for a month's imprisonment and
hard labour, as a reputed thief, hawing stolen a till containing a
quantity of halfpence from a shopkeeper.
Pal ARLBOROUGH-STREA

Wakes Langley and John Langley, brothers, together with the
wife of the latter, were yesterday :placed at the bar for re-exami-
nation, charged with stealing and receiving, knowing to have been
stolen, £147, the property of the father of the female prisoner, a
respectable man residing at Gillingham, in Kent.
It appears that a short time since the female prisoner went N her
father'. house in the country, for a few days, and after her departure
the money, which was all in gold (and had been deposited in a pri-
vate place, known only to the father and daughter,) was missed.
Suspicion fell upon the female prisoner and her husband, and in-
formation being given at this Office, Andrews and Ballad, two active
constables of this establishment, after diligent enquiry, ascertained
that the whole of the prisoners were gone to Portsmouth, and had
, taken places in a vessel bound for the Swan River Settlement. The
officers ascertained another very important fact, that they had booked
a quantity of luggage at the Green Man and Still, in Oxford-
, street, which was to be ant after them. In this stage of the affair
it was ascertained that W. Langley bad deserted his wife, having
packed the whole of the furniture and her clothes up, and carried
them off during her absence, together with some linen belonging
to Mr. Goram, of Lower Brook-street, which W. Langfey's wife
had had sent to her to make sons shirts from ; and on that gen-
tleman's application at this office, the prisoner's property at the
Green Man and Still was searched, and the linen was found there.
In the meantime the prisoners sent two or three threatening letters
to the proprietor of that office, and receiving no reply, at length
came up to the Office, where their plans of emigration suffered a
material change by their being instantly taken into custody.
Owing to the absence of the father of the female prisoner, the
case was not fully gone into, and the prisoners were remanded.
George Parrott, a supernumerary police sergeant of the C division
of St. James's. was yesterday brought up on a warrant before F.A.
Ron and IL Al. Dreg, &qrs. charged with cruelly assaulting
Eliza Smith.

The complainant stated that she was standing, at eleven o'clock
on Sunday evening, in Shepherd-street, when the defendant came
up, and said," Madam, you must go on." She replied she would,
when he immediately took her by the shoulders, and threw her
violently into the road, where she lay senseless for mate time.
Mr. Drat inquired what the defendant had to say?
The defendant replied, that the girl was standing, whets he de-
sired her to go away, and he only pushed her, when, from extreme
intoxication, she fell.

A police constable stated that he saw bee ten minutes before the
affair, and she was then so much the worse for liquor that she was
abased to bold by the railings.
The Magistrates encashed for an instant, and having ascer-
tained that the complainant bad been frequently at the OMee as a
disorderly, discharged the warrant.
QUER N-SQUA R B.
Yesterday, Jibs O'Clowser, who getedda living by hawking about
the streets what he terms the best genuine Cogniac brandy, but
which is nothing more than British brandy, was charged with re-
tailing some of the above mentioned liquor to the soldiers at the
Horst-barracks at Knightsbridge. O'Connor entered the barracks
on Tuesday evening, laden with his brandy. A soldier named
Sykes purchased a bottle of the spirits, for which he paid Ss. and
then told him he should give him in charge for retailing brandy
without a license. The prisoner was fairly caught in the trap, and
had nothing to say in defence. Mr. Warm told the prisoner he
had tortured a penalty of 1001. but be would mitigate it to the
lowest sum, which was 2.5 t. The prisoner being unable to pay
the penalty, was committed to the House of Correction for three
months.
