POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO W-STRE BT.
Tale Casa or Mai. Punaus.--Yesterday Sir R. Boum, after
hearing some unimportant cases, said he had that morning received
three packets, containing very voluminous communications on the
subject of the inquiry relative to the death of the late Mrs. Phillips
of Findsley. The pressure of public business, however, prevented
him at present from devoting sufficient attention to the subject to
give any decided opinion ; but between this and Tuesday next, he
and his colleague (Mr. Haw) would make themselves thoroughly
acquainted with all its bearings, and give such a decision as would
afford satisfaction to the public on this most momentous gumption.
It is now understood that the matter will undergo a solemn in-
vestigation on Tuesday, and that the Magistrates will hear, Mao
ace, any evidence that may be offered tending to throw a light
upon this mysterious business.
Jeremiah Evans, the man who was taken into custody on Monday
evening, while attempting to rob the wine-cellars of the grown and
Thistle public-house in Chandos-btreet, and violently assaulted
Police Officer Wood, by cutting his head with a wine-bottle, was
brought up again yesterday morning for further examination, as
the poor man was sufficiently recovered from his wound to give his
evidence.
The ease being clearly proved, he was fully committed to take
his trial at the next Old Bally Sessions; and the father of the pri-
soner. who attempted to rescue him, was ordered to hod bail.

THAMES POLICE.
Yesterday, Mary Harvey, alias " Stroog Poll." was brought In a
coach, having refried to walk from Sludwell watch-house, charged
with assaulting Mr. John Davies, the landlord of the Black Bull
public-house, breaking the glasses and windows, and knocking down
several watchmen, constables, and headboroughs. The wretched
woman bore evident marks of having been engaged in a desperate
conflict; her clothes were torn to pieces, and her face was covered
with recent bruises. Clo Tuesday evening the prisoner, after drink.
ing two or three glasses of gin, began to be noisy, and was requested
to depart. Mutad of this, however, she demanded more liquor,
which the landlord declined serving her with. She then dealt the
landlord a blow on the head, and followed up the attack with
sweeping all the drinking-glasses on the floor. She afterwards
flung some pint-pots through the window, and, making a rush
through the door, sallied into the street, where she beat the con-
stables and watchmen.—The prisoner was sentenced to one mouth's
imprisonment and hard labour.

TOWN-HALL

A tavern waiter was charged with stealing a cotton handkerchief,
the property of one of the porters of Mr. Clemesti, music-aeller,
Cheapside. The prisoner said the handkerchief was lying on the
Sour, and be picked it up; it was identified. Several persons gave
the prisoner a most unexceptionable character.
The Alderman observed, that previous character bad nothing to
do with a case like the present, and told the prisoner strong suspi-
cion attached to him ; yet he should have the benefit of the very
excellent character given of him. Had it not beetkso, he should
certainly have committed him. He was then discharged, with an
admonition to be cautious of again appearing under such circum-
stances.

BIRTH.
