POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

. , HOWoSTREET.
A poor man, who gave his name Jahn Marshall, and who stated
that he bad for many years been a private in the oilth
under the command of Lord C. Fitzroy, was yesterday brought
before the Sitting Magistrate (Sir IT. Biwa), charged wkh baying
wantonly broken some windows in Lord Melbourne's house ha St.
James's Park. It appeared from the evidence of a soldier who had
been centinel near the spot at the time the offence was committed,
that on Wednesday night last he observed the defendant walking
backwards and forwards In front of Lord Melbourne's house, and
throwing stones into the windows, and he therefore called out a
party and had him conveyed to the goard-bouse. An officer pro-
duced to the Magistrate the contents of the defendant's pockets.
which consisted of a quantity of large Sint stones. A fragment
of the broken glass was also produced; it was nearly a gleaner of
an inch thick, and although only two squares had been broken, the
damage was stated to amount to 101.
The Magistrate asked the defendant, who had hitherto stood
mute, what could have induced him to act as he bad door ?
.4 Your Worship," replied the poor fellow, in a must melancholy
tone. " I am a descendant of Henry the Eighth, by the Duchess
of Anjou, and my grandfather was one of the Dukes of Clarence;
I am heir to a very extensive property. which I understood is in
poswisiso of a Mrs. Haley,wbo is on a visit at Lord Melbourne's;
I have endeavoured to get an interview with that Lady several
times, but the servants have alwas refused me adndttance, and
so I formed the determination of breaking every window in the
house out of revenge."
AU this was said in a manner which fully convinced the Magis-
trate that the prisoner Was labouring under some mental delusion,
and be immediately ordered that be should be taken care of, and
have every attention paid to him.
