POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILiiHALL.
A young woman, dressed plainly, like a servant, was brought
before Mr. Alderman T1(010103' yesterday, charged with attempt-
ing to drown herself in the Thames.
Isaac Easeley, a watchman on Blackfriars-bridge, stated, that
about we o'clock that morning a gentleman seised the prisoner in
the act of flinging herself from the top of the balustrades over the
centre arch. He took her to the watch•house, where it was learnt
that her distress of mind arose from having quarrelled with a young
man with whom she had been living for a abort time; she KM her
name was Elisabeth Chapman, and that she had a sister living in
town, but would not give her address.
Mr. Teague, the Governor of the Comptes., said he bad Inquired
into the case, but be could not obtain from her the address of her
sister. Her parents, however, resided at flazmundbant, and she
was willing to return to them, although she preferred remaining in
town, to get a place as a servant.
Mr. Alderman Tnoiusox said ber mind was not settled enough
yet to take a place of that kind, and it would be much better to
mod her back to her parents. He requested Mr. T. to communi-
cate with them on the subject.
The prisoner, who was weeping all the time, was then remanded.
BOW-STREET.
Tea Cass or Mu. Peaurs.—Yesterday having been fixed by
the Magistrates to decide ea the course which the evidence with
which they had been furnished would warrant them in pursuing,
this oSce was crowded to excess by a number of respectable-
looking persons. In the early part of the day, a sealed packet, of
considerable dimensions, was delivered to Sir Raceaan BUMS.
who, after 6e bad perused its contents, banded k over to Mr.
Haug for the same purpose. Mr. Haug retired with it to the
private room, and after an absence of some hours returned
into the public °See, where, we regret to say, he was seised with
sudden Mess and nearly fainted. He was at length so far reco-
vered as to be enabled to walk into Mr. Stafford's room, where
Mr. Wakley, rendered him every possible assistance, and so far
restored him to convalescence as to have enabled him to resume
his duties towards three o'clock. The worthy Magistrate, however.
appeared very weak, though happily the cause of his indisposition
had been removed. __ _ _ . _ _ _ _

At nearly two o clock, one of Mr. Ashurst's clerks stepped for-
ward, to know if it were intended that the invesdiadon respecting
the death of the late Mrs. Phillips should be resumed ?
Sir R. BMUS said, the Magistrates bad undoubtedly appointed
that day for giving their opinion on the effect of the evidence with
which they had been furnished; so late, however, u that morning
they had received the most important document on the subject. but
still they had attentively perused and considered that document.
' and were prepared to state the impression which its contents and
those of ether statements which had also been submitted to ;Item
had mad*. _ _ _ _ _

----
The Clerk.—.T presume you allude to Dr. Tvreedie's statement?
Sir Rieman Thum said be did.

The Clerk.—l attend here by the desire of Mr. Ashore. with
the originals of that and the other depositions, and wish to know
how much longer I bare to wait ?
Sir Mama:, Bum said be did not think he had any occasion to
remain any longer, but asked if any of the other parties were in
attendance ? _ _

The Clerk.—l doe's know whom you mean by the other par-
ties, Sir.
Sir EMMA= BIIUIII.—By the other parties, I mean Mr. Co:,
who made the application to us, and Mr. Phillips, whom I happen
not to know.

the Clerk said be had not seen either Mr. Col or Mr. Phillips
there that day, although he bad been in attendance all the morning.
Sir R. Marna observed, that the Magistrates would not of course
deliver their decision, except all parties were present, and therefore
the Clerk might retire if be pleased, as even should the par-
ties come, nothing could be done in consequence of the sudden
illness of his colleague, Mr. Halls.
The Clerk said, that all he was anxious about was, that the depo-
dtions should not be delivered up to any one but Mr. Ashurst.
Sir Rienaan Basun told hint that he might rest quite satisfied
that the Magistrates would not violate the original understanding
on that bead.

The Clerk then retired, and the matter dropped.
It was subsequently understood, however, that notice for the
attendance of the parties is to be given, but no day has as yet been
named for that purpose.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday. two respectably dressed men, who gave their names
as The.. BMWS and James Hyde, were brought before Mr. Ito.
ow. Mr. Harmer attended for the prisoners.
Terry. an aka of St. Sepulchre's, deposed, that ea Tuesday
morning, about one o'clock, he saw a horse and cart standing in
asarterhouse-square, near to a surgeon's, Dr. Kiernan ; thinking
all was not right, he e2rontined the cart, when he discovered the
dead body of a female. The prisoners and two other men came to
the cart shortly afterwards ; the other two men went away. Wit.
ness and another took the prisoners into custody—on being asked
what was in the cart, they replied they did not know; but an being
told there was a dead body, they acknowledged there was, and
offered money to the °Mears to let them go. The body was that of
a female, about thirt-eve years of age, and from the appearance
there was no doubt It bad been exhumed.
Mr. Clark, the overseer, thought an inquest ouglu to be held on

the body.
The Magistrate said he did not think it necessary.
Mr. ataxia suggested there was no use against the prisoner,
there being no proof that the body bad been stolen ; but if the Ma-
gistrate thought there was. the prisoner should give bail.
The Magistrate ordered them to find bail to answer the charge
at the sessions, which was given.
UNION HALL.

As ewe as the Magistrates bad taken their seats, Mr. Aped
William, a young gentleman of very dashing appearance, was
placed in the slip, under the following circumstances. He was
without hat or coat ; the latter was in the possession of the constable,
a a thing of shreds," being literally torn into ribbons. The coon-
' tenance of the defendant plainly indicated that be had been too
freely indulging in midnight revelry and the creaming bowl.
Rodgers (a watchman) stated, that between one and two in the
morning he heard some angry words between some persons crossing
over Waterloo-bridge • on going up to them, he perceived the defen-
dant very much intoxicated, surrounded by several women of the
town, We of whom was inviting him most urgently to accompany her
home; upon the interference of the watchman the defendant sud-
denly darted from amongst them, jumped upon the parapet of the
bridge, and was in the act of throwing himself off, when
Rodgers rushed forward. 'deed him by the skirts of his coat,
and pulled him on to the foot-way. Defendant then became
more rational, and promised to go home quietly ; but no sooner had
Rodgers left him, than he heard him again quarrelling with the
prostitutes ; he of course turned back again, when the foolish young
gentleman once more attempted to throw himself into the river.
hut, fortunately, be alighted oa the outer projection, and the watch-
man succeeded in getting hold of his cost collar. at considerable
personal risk, and. with the assistance of the females. landed him
once more= terrafirme. The defendant then became perfectly
outrageous, swearing he would put an end to his existence. and
' commenced a most violent assault upon his preserver, who bore
the marks of his violence upon his bead and lace ; after which he
was taken with considerable difficulty to the watch-house. The
young gentleman, instead of being sorry for what bad taken place.
conducted himself extremely haughtily. He was therefore held to
bail, and the watchman bound over to prosecute at the coming
Sessions for the assault; and, in order that no compromise might
' be entered into, an account of the transaction was sent to the
Commissioners of the Bridge by the direction of 3ir Swaby.

Yesterday evening, between the hours of six and eight,
t►e house of Mr. Asb. tobacconist, 3, Little New-street, Shoe-lane,
was btuglarinasly entered, and wearing apparel and money to a
comdderable soment taken away.
