POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MONDAY.
MARIA HANSON, (bond), assigned to MR. MILLS, had been guilty of a slight misapprehension of judgment, as she had given herself up to the Police, instead of her master personally performing such service for her.
It appeared that HARRIS was dissatisfied with her situation, for although MR. MILLS was a gentleman against whom she had no manner of complaint, he had in his house, one of those awkward pieces of inconvenient furniture—a wife’s mother, who was in the habit of using language of an exciting and provocating [sic] tendency, and of calling names which, as the accused at the baptismal font had been given that sweet name of MARIA, she had not the slightest idea of becoming Anabaptist and being rechristened, more particularly as the same names were that unlady-like that she (MISS HANSON) could not offend the propriety of the Court by repeating them, and fearing from her knowledge of her own temperament, they would sooner or later have the effect of oil dropping on fire, and should flare-up and do something rash, she gave herself in charge to avoid such a consummation. The Court however deeming this no excuse why the Sunday’s dinner should be left uncooked, and MR. M’s establishment put to inconvenience—decreed a month’s 3rd class.
