POLICE INTELLIGRNCE.

111 ANSION-HOUSE.
Asses Gray, who stated himself to be the clerk to William Grey.
a solicitor, residing in Broad-Street, was charged with having as-
saulted a female of respectable appearance, named Ann Moss.
There were two examinations of this case, in which the tom-
plahlant, who is a young woman, of about 21 years of age, stated,
that she had employed the Jen:l:dant as her solicitor, to bring an
action against a avrgeon moped Morels, who had induced her to
live with bins quits a promise of marriage, and, after many irre.
trievable sacrifices on her part, had married another. She gave the
defendant her letters, and understood from him that there was a
goad case upon which to proceed; but he had since given up the
letters to the attorney of her seducer, and induced her to' sign a
paper, the effect of which she declared she did not understand at the
time he signed it. He afterwards gave her 201. which he said was
all the compensation she was to expect.
The LORD Mayne, when the case was first heard, asked for the
production of these letters. Ilk Lordship 'Stated, that six of them
manifested considerat;le affection, but did not mate out any promise
of marriage.
The complainant said, there were eight letters &livered to the
defendant, and that two of the most important must have been
withheld or destroyed. She admitted that no promise, in express
terms, was made in either of the letters: the intention to marry
was implied. The complainant further deposed, that on Saturday
week , when she went to the defendant's office, respecting the buel
mess, there being no one besides herself there, he committed tilt
,assault complained of, which she resisted.
.7 he Defendant.-1 am as innocent as a baby, my Lord. She is
a mum prostitute.
Lose M A roe said, he saw no ground for such an accusa-
tion, thee in the letters of the young man, against whom the de-
fendant had been instructed to proceed, or in her present conduct.
A female of respectable appearance. who stated that she was a
married woman, here said that the complainant's seducer had
brought her to the.witness's house as his wife, and that her general
conduct confirmed his representation. Witness was present when
what was called "the release" was given, and was convinced that
the complainant was not aware of its eff:cts. It was, she repre-
eente.l, obtained by violence, which amounted to an assault.
The defendant declared that the charge was as false ash--; he
had got the complainant 201. for what did not deserve twenty pence.
'fete LORD MA YOIL—Why I find he acknowledges that he owes
her 401.
The Loan Maros ordered the defendant to find ball to answer
for the assault.

The defendant then put in bail, saying he was determined not
submit to such a charge.

BOW-STREET.

An elderly man of respectable appearance, accompanied by his
daughter, apparently about 18 years of age, applied to the Sitting
Magistrae, Sir Menai° 1311INIX, yesterday morning, to ask in what
manner they should act under the following circumstances :—From
the statement of the father, it appeared that they reside in Chelsea,
and that, In the course of Friday morning last. some gypsies came
to the door, and offered to tell his daughter her fortune, and whom
she was destined to marry, on her giving them " a bit of silver,"
which she consented to do, and actually gave 9s. Bd. besides five
gowns and a sown-piece ; on receiving the whole of which the
"fortune tellers" declared it would be utterly impossible at that
moment to say anything, but that they would call again on the fol.-
lowing morning at the site hour, when It would be necessary that
she should give them "a small le." We need scarcely, however,
add, that so well contented were they with their booty, and con-
sidering that a" herd in the hand is worth two in the bush," did not
return for " the trifle" which they had stipulated for.
The worthy Magistrate declared that he was unable to render
any assistance, and was only sorry that the girl should be so foolish
as to give up her property; he, however, recommended that an
application should be made to Mr. Flood, a Magistrate residing in
their immediate vicinity ; for the assistance of a parish constable to
apprehend the party ; and added, that should they be brought before
him they should most assuredly meet with their deserts.
The applicants appearing perfectly satisfied with Sir Rienaan
Thames recommendation, after eipressing their thanks, quitted
the Osce. •

MARLBOROUGH-STRRET.
Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, was occupied yesterday for several
boars, in the investigation of an indecent charge, made against a
vrry respectable Gentleman, by William Humplerys, a soldier in
the 2d battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards, and after a most
r ibinute and strict elimination into all the circumstances, the Magis-
trate declared that he did not believe one word of the complaint,
.and dismissed the charge, sending to the Adjutant of the regiment
his opinion upon the case.

• M A RT. L A-130NNIL
Wro Irhbmen named Nankai* and Harley were eharied with
an outrageous assault on another Irishman named Shearman, be-
cause the latter refused to subscribe towards getting up a factious
fight between a Neu castleman and a Garry Owenman. It was
proved that the assault was so desperate that had not some persons
timely interposed, death might have been the consequence. The
prisoners were remanded.
