POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-MOUSE.
A tensile, Anse name was not mentioned, applfed for advice
and relief under most &Stressing *circumstances. She stated, that
she wilof the lewids PeisMasion, and the mother of eleven children
anent sirloin laid dead, and in fact that she was unable to pay the
accestonied feet, amounting to Sf. 7s. Sd. which was the regulated
stipend demanded for Interment according to the Jewish forms.
81rCLAtnAUS Hyena expressed his sorrow that lie could not call
manothe parish °Ricers to pay that men, but he would take care that
the child should bate Christian buriat
Ibe-Jewess objected to this—bee conscience could not; an my
account, show hot to submit to Christian burial; her pewit would
i.never again %milt oa her, and she would be deserted
111h-Hoblit'observed, that he was of opinion that a Clergyman
of the Church of England wonkl not bury the infant under the cir-
cumstances'and alluded to the cam of the late Sir Benjamin West,
.wherein some doubts had been raised at account of his having been
born a Qiaker. •
Eventually Sir CLAUDIUS sent for Mr. Myers, the well-known
`fishmonger, who pledged himself • that all that was proper should
be done.

GUILDHALL. •
Tatcxer e. Porrixiias.—ln this case, Mrs. Anne Pottinger,
widow, appeared upon summons to show cause why the refused to
deliver up certain stuffed-birds, the property of Miss Mary Tricksy,
of Hatchet•court, Little Trinity-lane, spinster.
" Your Worship," said bliss Triekey, "about six months ago
Mrs. Pottinger—this wicked old woman, took my second floor,
unfurnished; at which time there were some stuffed birds in the
hum room"—
Here Miss Trickey was interrupted by the Court requiting to
know what kind of stuffed birds she meant--inasinsch as stuffed
birds were' of various kinds—viz. dried and stuffed specimens in
natural history; or specimens fur the spit, as ducks-or geese stuffed
with sage and onions.—essige, thunder and lightnlag and she was
therefore desired to be more particular In her description.
4' 06, Sir," replied MissTrickey," I hardly know what they were;
there was a pair of pheasants, I know;. and (oar ether water Mt*,
the names of which I cannot properly explain; but they were very
nicely done up, you know, in glass cases, sitting upon crooked Iris,
with bits of moss andliartgs ; and when this wkked old woman took
my apartments I requested site would allow deem to remain for •
few weeks, until I had prepared a place fur their conception (query
reels/prises ?) to which she replita," Oh ! mast undeubtedly,Miss—.-
they may remain as long as you please, with great *aeon." But,
Mel uronld you believe it 7—when I applied to take my stuffed birds
' into bey own keeping she contemptibly refined to let me have them,
and called me every thing but a /a9;—nay, Sir, she has given it
'nut that I am a what I am not ; aad that she is obliged to clip
her petticoats close to het: as she goes up and down stairs, for feat I
should pick her pockets I.—and ,Sir. she • has sworn a shocking oath
—for as old somas to swear, that she will keep my stuffed birds is
Spite of me, Sir ; and she bas even pot her dirty old fist In my face
when I have asked for them, Sir! And Sir, here is mother lady
that can tell you what a rile old woman she is. Come forward,
Mrs,Jenkins !"

_ .
Ake. Jenkins came forward and said.—'. Your Worship. I an
a married woman—me and my husband occupy the ground de-
partments of Miss Trickey's bonus; and very cotniortable we
found we'resehres, till this old Mrs. Puttjuger came, amongst us ;
but she never goes out or comes in that she does nut have the
front door open after her; and the wind comes so cold to my legs
that I really cannot bear it. So- I said to my husband, Jeskin4,
said I '

" Well, well." said Sir Perms Lal/1111C—inietraptIng the thread
of Mrs. Jenkim's windy narration, " we have heard quite enough

he tad he would—But first I should tell you that there was a little
stpol of mice—a little three-legged stool Mat I put my feet upon—
that wanted mending quite as bad as the table ; and"—
" Well, never mind the stool," said the Alderman, " come to the
stuffed birds."

tegb • ',fru Pottinger resumed—" Your Worship, I can't go on without
the stool, for every thing depends upon it. So the next night, Tues-
day, when James came homed* said, ' Mother, I think I'll mend

het all this to do with the staffed bled& ?.'
• Mrs. Pottinger resumed—" Your Worship, I'm coming to the
birds as fast as possible. So Jams took the three.kggeti little
