POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSR.

Saturday, Mr. Hodgson appeared ache Justice Room to answer
the charges brought againstnb . Drools, for mkarpropri3.
Lion of the money of the share. eke Alliance Granite and
China Clay Company. Mr. Harmer attended fur Mr. Hodgson,
and Mr. Brodrick for the complainant.
After the former evidence was gorse through, and after a goisd
deal of altercation, the Loas Nitro& declined bidding Mr. Floats-
son to bail, as, in his opinion, there was not evidence sufficient to
convict of fratol' whatever success an Indictment for conspiracy to
defraud might have.
Mr. BIIOOI,ICK said the indictment should certainly be preferred.

• GUILDHALL.
Mary filmier, the young woman charged by a 11r. Soho Watson
with havi ig deprived him of a sovereign, by alarming that it had
elided down her throat in company with an oyster, was brought up
for re examination on Saturday, when Mr. Watson said be did not
wish to press the matter further, as the young woman had found
the sovereign, and restored it to him, and seemed very sorry-for
what had happened. " And where was it found, after all?" asked
the Magistrate. " Why, Sir," replied Mary, "it slipped down my
throat sure enough, and"—but we cannot give Mary's account of
the process by which she recovered it ; and moot content outsehes
with stating that she was discharged, and Mr. Watson walked away
with his sovereign in his pocket again, as comfortably as if nothing
had happened to either of them.

A long train of finely-dressed Ladies and Gentlemen walked
into the Office, all interested in a case of assault which one of the
young females was alleged to have committed upon a grave elderly. •
personage of the other sex. Moreover, Mr. TWd Pratt, the-Bat.,
rister, and Mr. Millard, a Solicitor, appeared for the defendant,
and some Professional Gentlemen were expected on the other side:
but Mr. Alderman Brown, who is the very pink of puactuality and
expedition, having dispatched the whole business of the day, be-
tween twelve o'clock and a few Minutes after, except the aforesaid
ease of assault, then proceeded to call it on, ere the complainant's
counsel had arrived.
The Lady accused was accommodated with a seat inside the bar;
and so highly was curiosity excited in the office, you might have
heard a pin fall at the opening of the business. However, after alt,
the mighty affair resolved itself into this :—The parties are co.
occupiers of one house; and the Lady, in ascending the staircase
the other day, sneered at the absence of oil-cloth thereupon; and
while passing an apartment wherein the complainant's wife was
lying "in the straw," she uttered the monosyllabic Miami !" in a
tone so pemliar, that it was regarded as tantamount to calling
" Mrs. Finikin." Presently the Lady returned down stairs, and
an altercation between ber and the complainant ensued, in which
the husband of the defendant came in and bore a part. The turmoil
ended in the fair defender attempting to put in twe muzzlers upon
her wordy assailant, one of which bits only, however, told upon his
chops, the other stopped by the balluster.
Farther than tbheiisntrhe Alderman would not hear a word, though
there was great eagerness on both sides to shove in at least a for •
mere; be straightway dismissed the complaint, recommending the •
Lady to believe she had not triumphed, and the Gentleman not s.
indict for the assault, although he was perfectly at liberty to do We

Ballard plied his ash plant upon his shins so vigorously that he war
soon glad to desist. He then, with a stew of preventing the officers
from finding out who be was, turned his horses and drove furiously
along Argylbstreet • but he made nothing by his motion, for Cle-
ments bad mounted behind. Notwithstanding his being thus

_
In his defence, he contented himself with coniplalning of the
rough treatment he received from the officers:.

on all occasions, and on this in particular. they had acted with the-
