Kelvedon, Essex, went to wok k in the fields, leaving her
female child, about three xears old, in the care of a
neighbour, named Crammer, Oath full confidence that it
aced have the necessary protection. The careless wo-
man, it appears, left tho Want in such a situation as to
enable it to approach the file. which communicated to
its clothes, and when she returned, the little innocent
was reduced comparatively to a cinder, and survived
only a few hours.
The Magistrates were busily occupied on Saturday
xt Vnion-hall, in the fulther investigation of circum-
stances relating to the murders at Fetcharn. The era-
inination was private, and nothing has been suffered to
transpire likely to interfere with the ends of public jus-
tice; but it is understood, that in the course of a few days,
public examination will take place.
The following is a short analysis of the list Combina-
tion Act, by which it will be seen, in a concise and corn-
preb.ensive view, tihat, to avoid its penal enactments,
the workmen ought not to do; and what, for the pro-
fiction of their own interests, they may do :
1. Foicing or attempting.to force any workman to depart from
his hiring, before the end of the term for which he has hired—S. To
return any work in an unfinished state—S. Preventing, or endea-
vouring to prevent, any workman from hiring himself or going to

mill for any time not exceeding three months.—Work-

money for trade purposes, may give that money to
whom they please, may contribute towards the main-
tenance of men who. are out of employment, either
from striking, or. from slackness of trade; may have
committees and delegates, may snake terms with their
employers in every thing with respect to trade, may
work or refuse to work with any man or any number,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE:

-.m.-.
GUILDHALL.

Saturday, Arohans Maki, a Jew-vender of ants was charged
with the'trick well known by the name of " ringing the changes."
A young Gentleman bad purchased a pint of nuts of the prkoners.
and tendered him a sixpence in payment. The prisoner took it into
ibis hand, but pretended instantly to return it as a bad one. The one
returned was bad enough ; and the complainant, though doubting
whether Ist had not been trkkes/, gave the fellow a shilling without
lobseivation. This the prisoner put in his pocket; and after fum-
blingabtint some time, said he had not enough change, and returned
loot the shilling be bad received, but another decently covered bad
use. The complainant perceived the manmuvre, obtained the assist-
' nee of a constable, and on searching the prisoner, the good sixpence
he hid first rieeived,erhith was very remarkable from having-been
impressed with a wafer stamp, was found in his pocket.
The prisoner rested his defence on the shilling having been given
by -bins to another fruit dealer standing by his side, by whom the
tick must have been played.
The complainant denied this statement,and the case was thought
too weak to go to a Jury; Abraham was, therefore, discharged
with a caution.
Charles Wheeler, formerly known to the public as an inspector
appointed by Mr. Martin, of Galway, to prevent cruelty to the
animals brought for sale to Smithfield-market, appeared before
Mr. Alderman A PSLIY, In the character of a complainant against
George Bigjershur, a drover, wearing the badge No.-764., for ill-
treating and cruelly striking below the hock, a bullock in Smith.
field, on Monday last.
Wheeler seemed much disposed to oraterize, and began to de-
scribe, In goodly set terms, that he had resumed his old duties in
Smithfield-market, under the direction of a few Gentlemen, who
were determined that the objects of Mr. Martin's Act should not
be lost sight of.
Mr. Aidertual Aisurv, however, checked Mm, and desired him
to keep cioie to the facts of the case, which appeared to be these—
that the defendant wai in charge of an off-dreve (a lot standing in
the middle of the way, because there is not room to tie them to the
rails), and apparently out of mere wantonness, struck a bullock
with savage violence over the hock, using the knobbed end of his
stick. Wheeler explained that he had since learnt that the beast
bad kicked the. defendant, and therefore the offence was not so
wanton as he had suppo-ed when be took out the summons.
The drover, in his defence, said that be did not knew he had
struck the beast till Mr. Wheeler told him, he was sure ; but be
said not a word about the kicking.

You are a pretty fellow, said The Alderman ; w►at you have just
said is tantamount to admitting that you are so much in the habit
of bating the Foot animals, that you strike them without thinking
what yeu are about ; that you deal those heavy strokes so uncon-
sciously that you aie absolutely ignorant, a moment after, that you
have struck a blow at all.

The drover appealed to Wheeler whethet he had ever had reason
to complain of him in the four years past he had seen him in Smith-
field ? and Wheeler allowed be had nut.
As acts of cruelty are so often committed with impunity in the
night time, and in the absence of persons disposed to seek some
punishment upon the offender, the Alderman felt it his duty when
a case was proved before him, to hold up an example, and be there-
fore Mud the defendant 10s. Wheeler giving his moiety of the
penalty to the office poor-box.
QUEBN-SQUABS
Saturday, a woman, who, from her dress and aprearance. seem-
ed to move in a highly respectable circle, was charged with being
disorderly.
A watchman said, he found her intoxicated at about three o'clocli
in the morning of that day ; and as the was not able to tithe care of
herself, he took her to the watch bowie. .
The woman denied the charge of being in liquor, but admitted
that the was abroad at three o'clock in the meshing—a time, when
she said, the most fashionable people in town were abroid. SW was
very nits& agitated, and burst into tears several times.
She was fined Sr. and discharged.
