POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUI! DHALL.
Charleas Wyatt, a miserable-looking creature, about 30 years of
age, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames.
Peter Soddy, a street-keeper, deposed. that in passing along
Blackfriars-bridge about Ave o'clock on Sunday afternoon, he ob-
served the prisoner at the bottom of the stairs getting into the
water. He got down in time to save her, and her mother was
now in attendance. The prisoner was drunk.
The mother said the prisoner was married to a slaughter.man,
but was living apart (for it was impossible to Uwe with her) on an
allowance of 3s. 6d. per week, which the prisoner regularly squan-
dered away within an hour after she had received it. She was a
confirmed drunkard.
Mr. Alderman Baowu asked the prisoner if she wished to say
any thing?
Prisoner replied, that she did net know bow she came to think
of such a thing. A friend gave her the liquor.
" Have you reflected on the dreadful situation you would have
been in if you bad appeared before your Maces, your own
murderer?" raid the Alderman.
The prisoner looked about her callously, and said she was very
sorry.
Alderman Baowr asked the mother if she would take her borne?
The mother said her conduct was so bad that she could not.
Indeed she wished her to be bound down not to annoy her.
The Magistrate replied that she might give her into custody
when she was offending. He did not know that be could do any

thing with her now.
She was accordingly discharged.
A woman, upwards of 50 years of age, named Jame Annuli, was
charged with making a similar attempt on the Surrey side of the
bridge, about six o'clock the same evening. Easely, a watchman,
said he had traced her family. Sbe had suffered a severe injury
on the head, sad was partly deranged. She was quite sober. Her
son was now in attendance.
The Alderman asked the son if it was true that her head had
been wounded as described ?
The son, who seemed much affected, said it was.
" Will you take care of her ?" said the magistrate.
The son promised that he would to the best of his power.
" Then be so kind as to do so. She is discharged,' rejoined the
Alderman.
.reseph de reigns, a valet to Mr. Rothschild, of Stamford-hill,
attended to show cause why an order of affiliation should not
be made upon him with regard to a child born in the parish of St.

Ann, Aidersgate-street.
Anstice Keogh, the mother, was produced, but before she was
sworn, she was questioned by Mr. Harmer for the defendant, re-
specting her husband. She ►aid site had not seen him since the
year 1818. He was a private in the 9th Lancers, and she had heard
some time ago that be was dead, but it now appeared that he was

still living. -
Mr. Harmer said it would be necessary to prove impossibility
of access between the husband and wife before the latter could be
allowed to swear this child to the defendant.
Mr. Payne, the second clerk, said the overseen offered as proof
of this, evidence that the woman had resided constantly In London,
and documents from the War-office to show that the husband bad
never left his regiment, which was stationed in Yorkshire about
nine months before the birth of the child. The regiment was now
at Nottingham.
Mr. Alderman ViNABLID remarked, that the doctrine respecting
impossibility of access had of late been a good deal modified. It
would be difficult to find any person to swear the woman bad not
bad an opportunity of meeting the husband.
The mother, weeping, protested she had not seen him.
' Mr. Alderman liatown objected to the validity of the docu-
mentary evidence. If the overseers could produce legal proof of
the husband's continual residence in Yorkshire, they might take it
at once to the sessions on the adjournment-day. The sessions
could make the order in the same manner that two justices would.

The magistrates concurred in declining to make the order.
Mr. Dunsby, the foreman of the inquest, of Farriogdon-within,
applied for a summons against William Pallas, of Cranbrook, in
Kent, for sending the carcass of an cis and two sheep for sale in
Newgate-market, the same nut being fit for human food.
Mr. Alderman Baown asked what proof he had that Mr. Pullen
sent it ?
Mr. Dunsby said he had Mr. Pulkn's letter and invoice, which
was delivered with a part of the meat, and which he bad obtained
from the salesman's foreman.
Mr. Harmer suggested the letter might have been written by
somebody else hi his name.
Mr. Alderman liaowu said that was obvious. Could Mr. Dunsby
prove the hand-writing?
Mr. Dunsby said the inquest had a difficult duty to perform. He
was unlearned in the law, and he hoped no impediment would be
thrown in his way. He wished to state the course that had been
taken before by the Aldermen.
Mr. Alderman Baown said no impediment would be put in his
way ; the public were much obliged to him for his exertions; but
if he were unlearned in the law, be might have the assistance of
the City-Solicitor. The city would cheerfully pay the expense.
lie could not issue his summons until he had evidence that Mr.
Pullen consigned the meat. Suppose he were to conic and state
that he did not send the meat : then be would have been put to the
trouble of coming out of Kent improperly.
Mr. Harmer said the name might be altogether fictitious.
Mr. Dunsby called the foreman to Mr. Klmber, the salesman, to
prove the handwriting; but be swore that be had never heard of
or seen his writing before. This was the first consignment that
had been received from him.
Mr. Doughy next asked the Alderman to hear the opinion, on
oath of the officers and others as to the unsoundness of the meat,
as a ground for issuing his orders to burn it.
Richmond, the officer, was beginning to state that he had seized
four quarters of what was called an ox, and two sheep, in a cart
in Newgate-street, that morning, when
The ALINISMAN, after consulting with Mr. Harmer and the clerks,
said, " I feel, and I am told by those around me, I have no au-
thority to order the meat to be destroyed ; that is the province of
the inquest; and they will do it, If they think proper, on their
own responsibility."
Mr. Harmer said he had inspected the meat, and if be were
on the Inquest he should condemn it without hesitation.
The Alderman said the city would protect him if an action should
be brought against Mr. Dunsby in such a case as this.
Mr. Dunsby said be should do this duty fearlessly, and withdrew.
About four o'clock in the afternoon the huge moveable oven,
constructed at the city expense, to destroy putrid meat, was drawn
into the area of Newgite-market, and the beef was burned ; but
the sheep were taken away to be belled down for dog's meat.
BOW-STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of police, waited
upon Sir R. Brame, and stated, that be had a man in custody upon
suspicion of murder, but as the coroner's inquisition bad not as yet
sat upon the body of person whose death the prisoner was sup-
posed to have accelerated, he (Mr. Thomas) wished to know whe-
ther he would be justified in detaining the suspected party until the
finding of the coroner's jury?
Sir R. Blasts asked Mr. Thomas if be had any evidence to pro-
duce tending to criminate the prisoner, as in that case he would be
quite warranted in detaining him.
Mr. Thomas replied, that the deceased, whose name was George
Mellor% had kept the White Lion public-house, in flare-market,
and front circumstances that bad transpired, it appeared that he
had come to his death by unfair means. His forehead exhibited a
dreadful gash, and several severe bruises were visible about his
head and face.
Sir R. Brass asked if the accused was present?
Mr. Thomas directed two of his men to bring the prisoner for.
ward, which was done accordingly. His name is Charles Willis,
and he is the brother of Mrs. Hellion, the wife of the deceased. .
A police-constable, named Rasthurpe, stated, that on Tuesday
last, at silt o'clock in the morning, be was passing the house of the
deceased, when he heard a violent altercation inside, and upon
looking in, be saw the prisoner beating the deceased in a most
brutal manner. He then pushed him towards the stairs, and
knocked him down. Witness went between the prisoner and the
deceased, and separated them. He then left the house, and was
returning in the same direction in about six minutes after, when be
heard a dreadful cry of murder proceeding from the house. He
immediately rushed in, and found the prisoner bearing the deceased
in the same dreadful manner as before. Witness desired the pri-
soner to desist, observing that his conduct was most brutal. The
wife of the deceased, who stood in the bar all the time without at-
mining to interfere, began to abuse witness, calling him an in-
solent fellow for interfering, and said that the prisoner was her
brother. _ _

The Magistrate then asked the prisoner if it was true that he had
bad a quarrel with the deceased?
The prisoner replied, that disagreements had frequently arisen
between him and the deceased, who had latterly taken to drinking
to such an recess that be bad quite neglected his business; in con.
sequence of which he (the prisoner) came from the country for the
purpose of assisting his sister.
