POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
Win JAWS and George Forrivgrev, were brought up yesterday
before Alderman LUCAS, charged with a nanAl..m-atiour.
Howell Goddard, it s/Wenn of the watch, stated, that in conse-
quence of information, on Tuesday night he went to the church of
St. John Zachary, and he found the two prisoners in the church-
yard. Jones wore a piece of canvass before hint, which he said,
on being interrogated, was his apron ; witness tuok it from bib
person, and found that it was a bag. In the church-yard, serees
where the prisoners were, witness found a stew shovel, and NI
of who was assisting him found a small wrench, which it was
presumed. was intended to be used for forcing open conies. The
prisoners gave no satisfactory account of themselves. It was like.
wise stated. that several bodies had been taken from the graves In
that neighbourhood, and that the prisoners were frequently seen
loitering about.
Alderman Lucas asked the prisoner Jones what be bad to say
to the charge?
Jones cooly replied—l am employed in that way, your Worship.
Axosassan—What do you mean by being " employed In that
way ?"
Jones—l work fur the Hospitals, your Worship.
Acmes:ems—Pray what Hospitals do you work for?
Jones--4t. Bartholomew's, and the Borough Hospital, St.
Thomas's.
Aensamax—You must drive a pretty good trade, having two
Hospitals to supply—yours must be a good business?
Junes (very cooly)—Yes, your Worship, when we can get it to do,
Farrington, when called upon for his defence, bald he had nothing
else to add mote than Jones had advanced.
The prisoners wine committed for trial; hut were told that they
might be admitted to bail.
The prisoners notes ithstauding their presumed good business,"
bad a miserable appearance—they were poor. dirty. sickly lout:log
wretches, and excited any thing but compassion in the minds of
the people at the Justice.touni.
There was a novel but useful decision at this office yesterday re.:
specting the delivery of parcels to the inhabitants of the outskirts
of the metropolis.
The potter at the White Horse Inn. Fetter-lane, was oastpsi
with d.nianding more than the legal porterage fora basket of game
which irol arrived at the above inn front Swalf bam, directed to
William Berry, Esq. at Kennington. The carriage was yid St
twat ham and the porter, instead of forwarding.the basket by one
of the coaches front the poulterer's .t the raid of Fleet-market, or
the Kings and Keys in Fleet-street, which would have entitled him
to only sd. porterage, he carried it to the Cross Keys, Gracechurch-
street. which entitled hint to rid. porterage, according to Me dis-
tance, and front thence it was conveyed to Kennington by the er-
rand cart. The charge fur conveying it from the inn to its desti-
nation was Is. 6d. and it reached Mr. Berry at seven o'clock in
the evening, incead of one o'clock hi the day. Mr. Berry there-
fore complained nut only of the additional porterage, but the delay
from taking it to the carrier instead of to the nearest coach.
' The porter said he left it at the booking.afice to go by the coach,
and not the cart; and as there was no special direction that the
parcel should be forwarded from any particular booking-office, he
had selected Gracechureb street, because the coaches run front
thence every half hour.
Mr. Alderman Lucas expressed his opinion. that the innkeeper
was bound to send such packages front the neatest booking offices:-.
Mr. Payne, the Second Ckik, submitted that the iusikeeper
could not be Lied fur the delay, as Mr. Berry resided beyond the
limits mentioned in the statute ; nor could be be held to entrust his
parcels to the nearest carrier; because the innkeeper being respon-
sible for their safe delivery, must Ise allowed to select his agent,
and reject such as he might coutider unsafe. If the direction bad
restricted him to sending the parcel from a particular booking
house, his responsibility would have terminated as soon as it was
delivered there ; but as it was directed simply to Kennington, his
responsibility did not end till it had reached that place. The inn-
keeper had :to right to charge any porterage, because the carrying
continued to Kennington, but be was entitled to charge the same
amount under the name of carriage.
Mr. Berry argued the contrary with the greatest seal ; and Mr.
Alderman Lucas concurring with him, decided that a porter carry-
ing a parcel to the farthest instead of the nearest coach, for the
sake of increasing his porterage, was not entitled to such increase ;
and he fined the defendant ss.

The porter immediately paid the line.
110 W—ST It EuT.
John Vasil, alias Daniel Head . who stands charged with unlaw-
fully intermarrying with Margaret Evans, at St. Giles 's Church—
his former wife, to whom be was married at St. Pancras Church, in
1823, being still alive—was yesterday re-examined.
Mr. Harmer attended for the prisoner.
Margaret Evans, who bad an infant at the breast strongly re-
sembling the pritoner, was asked if she bad ever seen the prisoner's
first wife, and she replied that she had seen her.

Pancras ; be knew the prisoner by the name of Daniel Heath, and
believed he was an artickd clerk to an attorney; he knew the pri-
soner's fist wife ; her maiden name was Caroline Cbarroneau ; she
was the daughter of Mr. Charroneau, who lived in Cromer-street,
vomit, to his botase, and kept a shop, and was also the proprietor
of biMat d tables ; he (witness) remembered Mben Min, Charroneau
was married to te prisoner, and she had been repeatedly introduced
to Mm subsequently, as Mrs. Heath, the wile of the prisoner; he
had seen her within tie last fortnight ; he knew nothing of the pri-
soner having separated from his first wife.
Mr. Harmer said, that there appeared to be evidence sufficient
to go to a Jury.
Fagan, the officer, said, that he should have other evidence in a
felt days to establish the celebration of the kit marriage, and that
the first Wife was still aim.
The prisoner was again immoded for a week.
