POLICE.

Mattatoo-Hoosz.--Saturday. David Joan was
brought op for riding furiously in Smithfield horse
market, to the imminent danger of the foot-passen-
gers. White, the officer, stated, that he was applied
to by some of the inhabitants of Smithfield to take
the defendant into custody, in consequence of his
having rode over some one; bat the defendant spur-
red his horse so furiously that it was some time be-
fore the officer could take him. The defendant ex-
pressed much sorrow for what he had done, pleaded a
wife and family, and his ignorance of the impropriety
of his conduct, in extenuation of his offence ; and as
the person who bad been rode over did not appear to
have been injured, lie was discharged by Alderman
Toner, who officiated for the Lotto MAYOR) with a
caution to be more circumspect in future.
A woman, Named Fitagerald, charged with passing
bad money, was remanded until Tuesday.
Alton, Swish was charged with having two bun-
dles of printed cotton, for the possession of which she
could give no proper account. She was stopped by
an officer with the property in her arms, which she
told him she had got from a man. The officer, on in-
quiry, found that the cotton belonged to Mr. Cook,
of Cheapside, who had sent it by his porter to a Mr.
Collins. Instead of delivering it as he should have
done, the porter got drunk, and fell into the hands of
the prisoner, who, by some means or other, had got
the cotton from him. The porter had not returned
to Mr. Cook's employment, and the prisoner was re-
manded till Tuesday, to'give time to find him.
J. Rama, J. Swish, and Chapatis, were also re-
manded, charged with attempting to pick the pockets
of several persons in Newgatt.street and Ludgate-
hill; but an officer seeing them they decamped. A
few minutes alter he again saw them in Cheapside,
and 'shortly detected Chapman in the very act of
drawing a silk handkerchief from a Gentleman's poc-
ket. Having to cope with so strong a party, be could
not apprize the Gentleman who was robbed of what
had happened.
Bow-orator.--Saturday Thsnsa: Morrison was
brought before RICHARD BIRNIt, Esq. charged with
being concerned in a violent assault and outrage upon
John Evereli and John Kendrick. two of the beadles
belonging to the parish of St. Giles's, while in the
execution of their duty, and also with assisting in res-
cuing a prisoner from their custody. He was ordered
to find bail upon both charges.
Gage Kiwatvall. late a shopman in the employ of
Mr. Richard Castle, a eheisemonger, in Broad-court,
Long-acre, was charged with robbing Eirp of cash
and notes to a considerable amount. The prisoner
was fully committed for trial.
s
A woman was on Saturday brought in custody,'
being stopped by an officer on Fliday night with a
large bundle of wearing apparel, and other property,
together with a number of pick-lock and skeleton ,
keys, calculated to open almost any door. Her ac-
count was, that she had been to Newgate to visit Fier
husband, or some other relative,. and load brought
from thense the articles found in her possession.—
The Magistrate- (Mr. Boone) could not credit such
a- story, and mid he would writs to Mr. Brown,
the keeper; to know whether it was practicable to
entry out sae* a bundle and such articles? It was
strongly suspected that the woman had rather in-
tended to bring-the keys, Ste. into the prison, several
convicts being about to be sent away, under Sentence
of transportation for life; on the same evening.—The
prisoner was remanded.
Ustori HALL.—Saturday evening Captain B. of
the Dragoons, appeared at this office in a most de-
plorable plight, with his shirt torn, his clothes in rags,
and covered all over with soot, flour. &c. He stated
to the Magistrates, that be had recently arrived from
the East Indies, and that he was accosted by a young
lady in Blackfriars.road, who, upon endeavouring to
avoid her conversation, struck him with a cane,
which broke with the blow. She demanded, as a
compensation for the cane, something to drink. To
avoid a wrangle in the streets he agreed to go down
with her to a public-house. She led hint through se-
veral lanes and alleys to a home, which, not appear-
ins to be a public-home, he hesitated to eater. She
told him the house was her own, and she would send
fur some dumb. He then went in, and on the Big
being brought offered to pay for it, and to retire.
damsel, however, insisted upon ss. so foe the loss of
time," proposing to remunerate him in a way which
the Captain dechned,obsesving he will 4 'harried man.
and would do nothing that might affect his coral
character. The lady d—d his moral character, and
distantineonsly pounced upon a diamond frill pin,
worth 25 gUineas, of which she obtained possession.
At the same time she vociferated al Murder. Two
men, and from twenty to thirty females, were in the
room in a moment, and commenced a joint attack on
the Captain, who, with the aid of a fire-shovel, forced
his way into the street, where he was assailed by some
hundreds of females with missiles of all descriptions.
Hall was sent with the Captain to the house where
the outrage was stated to have taken place, which
proved to be a house in Dover-street, St. George's-
fields. The Captain pointed out Eris. ?deer
the person who robbed him of his diamond pin,
and mall took her to the office. No trace mold be
obtained of the pin.o-Comaritted for re-examination.
Saturday a gentleman named Browning, residing
ist. the Conunercial-road, Lambeth, requested the
advice of the Sitting Magistrate at the above office,
on behalf of a widow lady, named Arnold, who lives
in Chilli-went, Lambeth, under the following circum-
stances t---Aboto a fortnight ago, a woman named
Sparks called upon Mrs. Arnold, and said she was
informed by a young woman, named Strait Davis,
who was formerly in her service, that she was in
want of a cook. Mrs. Arnold said that she certainly
did want a female in that capacity, and questioned
Sparks about her capability of undertaking the situa-
tion, where she had lived, &c. Spa: ks said that she
had been auto years in the service of a lady named.
Hall, who resides at Walsworth, and who would give
her a good character. Mrs. Arnold requested Sparks
to go to Mrs. Hall, and learn what tieoa schmeastraco ter.uld
be at home to answer enquiries respecting
Sparks wept oat, and in a few hours returned to
Mrs. Arnold, and told. heethat Mrs. Halt-Would be
at liberty at seven o'clock the neat evening. • Mrs.
Arnold went at the time appointed to Mrs. Hall's
house, and was ushered into the parlour, where a
female dressed like a lady (whose face was nearly
hid by a large shawl she had thrown-over her bead,
sad complained of being , unwell) reprewated

self to be Mrs. Hall, and gave Mrs. Spark anl
excellent character. Mrs. Arnold was pleased at '
having a servant so strongly recommended, and
ordered Sparks to come immediately. She accor-
dingly, next morning, entered into Mrs. Arnold's
service. Spaiks had a very strong Irish brogue,
and the first day she conked. 4 plain joint of meat. she
declared " there was never a joint of meat better
done ;"•but it was burned and quite spoiled. Towards
evening she was found not to be so sober as ia the
morning, and abused some of the servants, and daily
grevr worse. Mrs. Arnold kept her eight or nine
days, and then discharged her for being filthy, drun-
ken, and abusive. Mrs. Arnold then desired Mr.
Browning to gat to Mrs. Hall's, and to state to her
the conduct of Sparks, and to atk her how she could
so deceive her in giving such a false represeutatiiiii it!
her. Mr. Browning accordingly went to Mrs. Hall's,
and learned that she was from own with her family,
at a watering-place, on the day Mrs. Arnold called
at her house, and discovered that the young woman
who represented herself as Mrs. Hell was Mrs. Hall's
servant (Mary Davis) who had dressed herself, as
she acknowledged, in the clothes of her mistress.
Her reason for so doing was, that Sparks had been
turned away from her place in the neighbouthood of
Walworili ; that she had permitted her to sleep and
board in Mrs. Hall's house during the absence of the
family, and learning that Mrs. Arnaid wanted a
ckok, and wishing to get rid of Sparks from the house
before the family returned home, she contrived that
plan to get her admitted into Mrs. Arnold's service.
The Magistrate stated, that an Act of Parliament
had provided for such an cifence a most salutary
punishment : it empowered the Magistrate to intllct
a line of sE2o upon such persons who had forged a
character, or had falsely represented themselves as
the employers of a servant. He advised Mr. Brown-
ing to lay the information, which he dad ins:antly.

Manx Asusono.—r-e relations of this lamented
young woman have obtained a Writ of Appeal upt,n
which Thornton has been again taken into costoJY,
and safely lodged in Warwick gaol, in order that lie
shall undergo another trial, which, by the ancient
law of England, the next heir of the person murdered
is entitled to institute.

Twenty-five convicts arrived at Portsmouth, on
Saturday morning, from Newgate, in charge of Mr.
BROWN, the keeper of that prison. Seventeen of them
are very young men, but they are old offenders. They
were convicted at the last OW Bailey Sessions of
pocket picking—a crime which the Amass and ItEd.
CORDER have. determined shall be visited, upon all fu-
ture commissions, by transportation for lite. These
qe directed to be sent out of the country immediately.
They evinced the mist depraved hardihood on enter-
ing the Do:lc-yard, giving frequent cheers on passing
along the hulk, though escorted by a party of the 10th
Light Dragoons.—A soldier, late belonging to the
20:h Light Dragoons, who had been rentenced by a
Court Martial to transportation for seven years, for
frequen: desertions, was receiaed on board the CAP-
Tivtni hulk on Saturday.

.Wednesday afternoon, between three and four
o'clock, George Batts, who received sentence of death
at the late Nottingham Assizes, and George Needham,
under confinement on a charge of felony at Newark,
having disenciunbered themselves of their irons, made
their escape out of the lower felons' yard of the county
gaol, in' the absence of the gaater. Needham was
taken almost immediately, but Bates got away.
Early in the morning of Monday set:night, fl 1..
fia, rim and Alexander Mooney, confined in Carrick-
fergus jail, the former under the Linen Act, and the
latter for debt, contrived to make their escape. Alarm
being given, several of the guard (part of the 92d
Regiment) set off in pursuit of them, but Young being
an active tribe/ and first down, effected his escape.
Mooney, being closely pursued, and called on to stop,
bin declining to dolt, one of the soldiers fired at him;
the ball entered his right shoulder and passed to his
eight bone in the opposite side, and was shortly af-
terwards extracted by Dr. Stewart, without any
symptoms of his life being endangered.
A few days since, the house of a poor man of the
name of Love, who resides at Wingliam, was broke
open, and a quantity of wearing apparel, and a sum
of money which he bad saved kr the payment of his
rent, stolen therefrom. What adds to the afflicting
circumstance, the depredator proves to be the poor
man's son.

A man, having the appearance of a gentleman
traveller, took up his abode, a few days since, at
Miller's otel, South-E.nd, where he lived in the most
sumptuous manner. After remaining there two or
three days, he expressed a wish to see the town of
tdaldon, and requested of Mr. Miller -to let his man
drive him over to that place, which was assented to.
On reaching Maldon, be put up at the White noise,
where he ordered dinner to be ready at a certain hour,
in the mean rims he said he would walk round the
town and see the place. The landlord being fully pre-
pared for his guest at the appointed hour, waited with
considerable anxiety for his arrival, but unfortunately
he never afterwards made his appearance ; and the
man who drove him was obliged to return to South-
End with his hot se and chaise, the bearer of the un-
welcome tidings to his master, whom the stranger
bad left so abruptly. without even paying his reckon.,
ing at the Hotel. From Msldon, it appears, this inchvidual made the best of his way to Chelmsford, where
he hired an iron-grey mare, of Mr. Taverner, at. the
King's Head, for the purpose of proceeding to Brain-1
tree, and which he readily obtained, in consequence
of his representing himself as acquainted with several;
tradesmen of the place. The mare was hired on the
119th ult. but neither have since been heard of.
