POLICE.

hlaNstos-Hocsn.--in Irish woman, named /Catty
Creeduit, charted her husband for haring kilt Err on

Saturday night.
She stated to Mr. Alderman Co,K that her villain of a
husband was in the habit of " maciating" lwr, and
" tearing her limb from limb," and that he had often
" cot her to pieces ;" but, in particular, oh Saturday
when he quite kilt her, and she never mote expected to
go about, she felt so destroyed in her inside.
Mr. Alderman Cox desired the woman to describe her
cruel husband's conduct more correctly; for, badly as
' he might have acted, the object of his inhumanity was
still in the land of the living, thank GOD.
hlrs. Creedon persisted in saying that her husband
had kilt her, and she wondered how any one could
think otherwise, who heard her say that he had "

ciated" her.
Mr. Ald. Cox was at a loss for the exact meaning el
the word " maciate," but Mrs. Creedon's husband ex.
plained it, by showing the marks of arils upon his face,
which his partner had scratched into a comparison with
the Indian tattooing. He said his wife had put him in,
that condition, and that he never in his life kilt her.
Mrs. Creedon—Oh ! Paddy, bow can you say that
when you know, and the Lord knows, that you kilt me
a thousand times? sure, you're always murtheriog me.
Mr. Creedon—Well, and bow can 1 help it ; ar'nt you
always murtheriog me ?
Mrs. Creedon—Never, Paddy, never, but when you
desarves it. Your Worship, I know what he's about.
I keep him in victuals and drink, and instead of keep-,
ing me lie wants to keep a woman.
Bin Alderman Cox—Oh ! now I see how it is. There's
a little jealousy in the case.
The -husband declared there was a great deal. His
wife was a little ould, and did'nt like to see him look at
a young woman ; she had but a few days ago thrown a
pail of dirty water over him, and he thought he might
give her a slash or two, and he did so; he just touched
her promiscuous, and she happened to fall.
Alderman Cox—Well, the -best thing I can do is to
bind you both over.
The wife vowed that she didn't care what became of
her, so that her thief of a husband was locked up, and
the husband thought any state happy from which his
wife was excluded. They were ordered to find bail,
which, failing to procure, they were sent to the Compter,
and ordered to be kept in separate apartments. The wo-
man went away huzzaing, and swearmg that she would
be master of the fellow yet.
Gut LONA Li..—Thotnas Whiston, one of the City night
patrol, on his way home from duty, a little after six
o'clock on Sunday last, through Skinner-street, Snow-
hill, observed two fellows before him, one coming a
basket, and the other • sack across his shoulders, appa-
rently loaded; he stopped the hindermost man, the one
with the basket, and getting no satisfactory account
from him, as to its contents or where be got it from, took
him to the Compter. The other fellow ran off and made
his escape. The prisoner turned out to be a fellow
named Edw. Bartholomew, whose person and character
were well known to the officers. The property found on
him was what is termed a four-dozen basket, nearly filled
with tea of various qualities, hastily thrown together,
and a canvas sugar bag, with an additional qnastity of
tea, of a similar description. The prisoner said he found'
it in Fleet-market. The Magistrate remanded the pri-
soner, and directed the circumstance to be advertised,
Upon the prisoner's being brought up yesterday be-
fore the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Waithman,
Mr. James Ware, appeared, and stated that he bad
opened a small shop as a grocer and tea-dealer, No. 10,
St. George's-place, Wahvorth.road, for the first time 0:•
Friday last. No one slept in the premises, but be left all
safe, when he fastened up on Saturday night, and on his
coining to business early on Monday morning, be found
the shop door lock had been picked, the premises enter-
, ed, and nearly the whole of the stock taken away. All
tea-canisters, except one, were empty, and scattered about
the door ; a number of
.(naves of sugar were also gone.
'• His cash he had very fortunately taken Onto with ldm.

to his private lodgings in Cbarlotte-street, Blackfriars'-
road. _ _ _ _ _ . _ _

The Officer produced dae property found tin the pri-
snner's possession. and Mr. Ware was able to swear posi-
tively to the basket and the bag.—The prisoner was
committed.
bliotoonorren-systrxe.—Samitel Simmons, a footman in
the wile. of the Earl of Cardigan. was yesterday brought
to the office upon a warren', charged with a desperate assault
upon S.o6eld, one of the officers of this es' r.nishment. Sea-
sed said that himself and Bellard, another officer, we'e in
attendance, on Wednesday night, at the Earl of Verulam's
house in Grosvenor-square, when there was a grand rout;
when the copopy were departing, the Duke of Gloucester's
carriage and that of the Princess Sophia of Gloucester were
called for, and on their driving up, the coachmen of the Eat
of Cardigan and the Earl of Wilton attempted to cut in be-
fore them : it being the usual respect paid to the members of
the Royal Family to suffer their carriages to take precedence
of all others, even though they should be out of the priper
line, whereas on this occasion they were not so. The officers
immediately interfered, and to the performance of their duty
were violently attacked by about fifty servants; bat this
man, whom the officers have long known as a most insolent
and abusive person, at all the fashionable roots, struck Sco-
field a desperate blow on tt.e back of the head and knocked
him down; and not content, with this, he then endeavoured
to force !dm under the horses' feet, in which, he being a pow-
erful fellow, he would probably have succeeded, had not
Bellard promptly come to the assistance of his brother officer,
and rescued him from his perilous situation. The defendant
was ordered to End good bail for the assault.
QUEEN-SQUARE.—YeStarday R. MARTIN, Esq. M.P. came
to this office, to obtain a warrant against the coachman of
Sir B. Hohhouse, for wantonly and cruelly heeling his
horses. lie lamented that notwithstanding the numerous
convictions which tad lately taken place since the p kissing of
this Act, still the cruel practice of 11l treating horses is ein-
Sneed. lie also was sorry to see how cruelly (legs were
used, and said he would use his utmost exertions to urine in
a Bill for its prevention. , The Magistrate heartily wished he
might succeed, and granted the warrant.
TON NOTORIOUS MASON.—Yesterday William Real jun.
one of the Police Officers of the Hatton-garden Establish-
ment, accompanied by Mr. Harmer's Chief Clerk, attended
before the Grand Jury for Middlesex to prefer a Bill ag ‘inet
the above notorious character, for returning from transport-
ation before the term of 14 years was expired. and a true
hill was found. Read had Meson (who also went by the
name of Morgan) three times is custody on capital charge,,
fur each of which he was tried ; the first was kr robbing a
watchman, in the Back-road, Islingicin, of a silver watch._
On this charge he was acquitted, owing to the buitg.it,g
manner in which the prosecutor gave his evidence. Fu,,
next was for burglariottsly entering and robbing the 801 l
in the Pound public-house, (now known by the name of the
Union,) in Spa-fields, of which he was also acquitted ; Lis
identity not being sufficiently proved. Tne third charge
was for burglariously entering and robbing a Menet triter
Warehouse in Watling-street; on this charge, at the Sept.
Sessions, ISIO, he was capitally convicted, and received sen-
tence of death, which sentence was afterwards commuted
for transportation to New South Wales; there he robed
the Governor's house, for which he was tried and again cast
for death. On the day appointed for his exocutims, he was
brought to the foot of the gallows, where he received a se-
vere whipping, and his sentence of death was cha gel. to
transportation for life to Van Diemen's Land ; from the,
latter place he effected his escape, and returned to London,
where be disguised himself, and moot by different names. as-
sociated with the most desperate characters, and committed
several burglaries and robberies. He was at length taken
end committed to the Borouirli Comptes., for robbing the Cran-
, brook waggon of 13001. Two hours before he effected his
escape from that prison, Wm. Read, the officer, laid a de-
tainer against him before Alderman J. J. Smith, at the Town
Hall, for returning from tree apertation.

BACON.—It is a curious circunistaree that the specula-
tors in Bacon never seem to be aware till? se ,t dealing in a
perishable article, until the season comes round for manufac-
turing a fresh stock. They do not seem to perceive the great
difference between being a holder of old Wheat, and a holder
of old Bacon. until the Bacon has become old : then they flint
it out by the poor people rejecting it, unless they can get it
at reduced prices. Having begun to speculate, they are
compelled to so en, to support their previous operations; for
it is well known, that In a speculation, the moment the hot !-
eta cease to bay, the market begins to fall. So it has been
in the present case. There has never been any demand, foe
consumption, to justify an advance, since the price was
about 311 s. handed. It no one 'should give way, so as to oc-
sten a shock to the market, the probability is, that priers
will go gradually down, as they did last )ear; perhaps not
quite so low; but there is no saying, as the stock iv unques-
tionably heavy. A good deal is now put into the hands of
the brokers, and great efforts are made to sell through the
Dryers: a sure sign of a heavy and falling market. Amidst
all tbis contention, the hardest case is that of the retailer.
who was prevented by the high price from making any profit
when there was a little demand; and uow that the denten l
