POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —Maria Matthews, the young woman who was charged yesterday with robbing a lady of the name of Sutton of her porte-monnaie in the shop of Messrs. Steele and Co., of Houndsditch, and who was remanded till to-day for the purpose of enabling the officers to make inquiries respecting her previous char acter, was again brought before Sir R. W. Carden for further examination. Mr. Lewis said he appeared on the part of the pri soner, who he believed was chrrged with being in a shop with the intention of committing a felony, and although there might be a case of strong suspicion against her, yet upon the face of the statements made by the different witnesses there was nothing to show either that she touched the port-monnaie, or ever had possession of it. Before a person could be sent for trial for the alleged -ffence possession of the property ought to be shown. Mr. Goodman—One of the officers has made inquiries, perhaps he had better state the result of them at once, . Sir W. Carden—Certainly. Mr. Lewis—l would rather you should deal with the case as it stands before the officer makes any statement. Sir R. W. Carden—l cannot do that. I remanded the case yesterday in order that every inquiry might be made respecting the prisoner's previous character. W. Smith, constable 656—1 have made inquiries and find that the prisoner was in custody in June last for stealing money, and was sentenced to three months' im prisonment. Sir R. W. Carden —Under these circumstances, of coarse we must go on with the evidence. Mr. Lewis—Was that a summary co nv i c ti on ? Smith—Yes ; at Guildhall. J. L. Steele, assistant to Messrs. Steele and Co., of 22, Houndsditch, said 2 ---On Tuesday last, the prisoner came into our warehouse and asked to look at a trifling article, which she said she wished to purchase. On my conducting her to an upper room and showing her some articles of the description she asked for, she said she saw nothing that would suit her. She descended to the ground floor, and after waiting some little time left. In consequence of what was told me by a lady', after the prisoner left, my suspicions were excited respecting her. On Wednesday last I was at the counter when she was brought back to the shop by an assistant named Meophain, and I dis tinctly perceived that she was the same person that bad been in the shop the previous day, and whom I attende 1. The prosecute-ix on missing her purse examined the floor, and so did I, and the porte-monnaie was not there. After the prisoner had protested her innocence the porte-mon naie was found at the dog's feet, the prisoner pointing it out. Previous to that I raw a movement of her right hand, and Raw Mrs. Sutton p:ck the poi te-mennaie up. Mr. Lewis then addressed the bench, contending that although there were grounds of suspicion against the prisoner, yet that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to warrant a conviction. _ _ Sir R. W. Carden—The prosecutrix swears that her porte-monnaie was safe tipat the time of fiver entering Vie shop, and that in the shop, immediately after the prisoner left her side, she missed it. Several witnesses have fur ther stated that it was impossible far the port-monnai3 to have been put on the floor before the prisoner was brought back. fs the father of the young woman in court The father stood forwatd. . Carden—You were asked some questions by me yesterday relative to the character of your (laugh, ter, and you stated you believed her to be an honest in. dustrions girl, and tha,:: you had never heerd anything againA her. You said that she was always in bed by nine o'clock, and you gave her the highest character. The Father—l did so, sir. Sir R. W. Carien—Do you mean now , to represent that you did not then know that a short, time ago she was summarily convicted at Guildhall CJ.irt, and sen tenced to three mouths' imprisonment ? The Father—Yes ; I was not in London at the time. I was then in Birmingham, where I had been staying 17 months., and did not know of the circumstance till her mother told me of it last night. Sir R. W. Carden—l am very glad I asked you the question, because I am satisfied jou did not know of it. Your daughter has had a good home, is able to main tain herself, and you say that she and her sisters earn 71. a week on an average at parasol making. The Father—Yes, sir; and I have property of my own. Sir R. W. Carden—lt is entirely owing to the want of judgment on the part of the two officers that I cannot send this case to the Central Criminal Court ; they did not use due discretion or common observation when they were called into the shop, for they turned their backs upon the prisoner, and allowed her to throw the porte-naonnaie on the floor at some distance from when.e she was standing. Lee, the officer, said he had not his back to the pri soner ; he was standing sideways. Sir R. W. Carden—Under these circumstances I must deal with the case summarily. _ Mr. Lewis—l hope you will pass as lenient a sentence upon the prisoner as you can under the circumstanqis of the case. Her father will remove her from London as soon as she is released from prison. Sir R. W. Carden—l shall make her sentence a 3 severe as I can, not only as a duty to her father, but as a duty to the public. I sentence her to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, for being in the shop for an unlawful purpose. GIIILDHALL.—CharIes Briclgeman, a young man in the service of the Rev. Mr. Burgess, of 10, Cadogan place, Chelsea, was again brought up on the charge of uttering pa forged cheque for 5981. 104. On the former examination it was shown that the pri soner presented at Messrs. Gosling and Sharpe's a letter purporting to be signed by Mr. Burgess, requesting cash for a cheque for 5981. 10g. That cheque was forged in the name of Dr. Cradock, of Brazenose Col lege, and it was shown that it bore the appearance of having been copied from a genuine cheque for a small amount, which had been lying on Mr. Bur gess's library-table some days previous, the prisoner having had access to it during that time. The addi tional evidence adduced yesterday proved that in a pantry used by the prisoner a writing-case had been found since the last hearing, and in it were discovered a plebe of paper written upon in the same coloured ink as the letter, as though the writer had been practising the formation of some of the letters, and two pieces of brown sealing-wax corresponding with the same on the letter. There were also two pieces of blank paper of the same description -and sizeof the letter, and a blue receipt stamp with some initials across it in pencil. Mr. Burgess gave the prisoner a very excellent charac ter, and said he always placed the greatest confidence in The prisoner was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER.---Mr. Arnold was occupied a con siderable time in investigating a charge preferred by Eli Phippen, a police constable of the F division, against a respectable-looking young man named Trigg, whom he accused of assaulting him in the execution of his duty. According to the constable's statement, the defendant and another man were fighting in Cremorne•gardens, and on the complainant's interfering defendant struck him a violent blow on the eye. In answer to the charge the defendant stated that he called upon the policeman to take a man who had as saulted him into custody. Instead of doing so the corn p'ainant struck and kicked him. The complainant, in cross-examination, positively swore that he was not under the influence of liquor, and had not been drinking in the Nell Gwynne public-house. B )th these statements, however, were clearly disproved ; an I it was further shown that the constable had got into another disturbance on the same evenin, and had taken a man to the station in connection with that affair, against whom the inspector refused to record any charge, because, among other reasons, the complainant was nog sober. Mr. Arnold immediately dismissed the charge against Trigg, remarking that great injustice would have been done him had he been convicted on the testimony of the policeman, whose conduct was most disgraceful. Mr. Smith, for Trigg, gave notice that the policeman would be prosecuted for assaulting his client, who was still bleeding from the lungs owing to the policeman's violence. •.a......... 4 MARLBOROUGH -STY T.—Count Selterr-Thop ' g who is stated to be a neph ew o f General Rudi er in co mmand of one of the Ru ss i an di visions in the Crimea,' and who has on two previous occasions fi,guted at this court on the charge of fraud, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with obtaining two dressing-cases, value 461., from Messrs. Hannaford and Hallstaff, dres sing-case makers, 223, Regent-street, by false and frau. dulent pretences. Mr. Levien defended the prisoner. Mr. T. C. Hannaford said—About a month since the prisoner came to me, and said he came from the Prus sian embassy, to inquire who were the first miniature painters in this country, as a family of distinction w ere c ming over, which would require their services. He then left, and I got him all the information I could, and sent him the note pro duced to the embassy. On Tues day l as t he again came to ourplace much obliged for the information, and said he was and wished to look at some dressing-cases. After seeing a great many he. said he would bring a lady he was about to marry, residing i l , n l'engham. lace, to see them. After some hesitation _....heietdrthatztught it would be unnecessary to bring the lady, aot_ht thought he could • upon one and take i . :, to was pa Z c e o , as it was her birthday.

I don't recollect how I addressed -3 pOit• note. I swear I did not address it to the prisoner, the etre of the Prussian ambassador. To the best' of the belief, it was addressed, " Count Thop, -, - v ari l ton-houT D e Y terrace." It was my impression that he was connected with the embassy, or I should not have trusted him. James White—l am under butler to Count Y on Bernstorff, the Prussian Anihas.ador, 9, Carlton-house gardens. SI am acquainted with every one belonging to the embassy. The prisoner is not in the slightest degree connected with the embassy. Thcre have been several letters addressed to the prisoner, and left for him at the ' emb"- 3 sY, but by whose permision I don't know. I , have given soma of tl.ose letters to the prisoi:er myself. Cross-examined by 4: -aP fir, Levien—The letters were (d. ~~;~••-~_y f-y r'~'~"'v`-x~l' -cfacTA always addressed Count Thop, Prussian Legation. I had no authority to take them in, but took them in as an act of kindness. Sergeant Rogers, C division, said there were numerous other cases against the prisoner, and thought if he was re manded the parties would come forward and prosecute. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. LAMBETH. —Andrew Wild, a constable belonging to the A. division of police, was summoned to show cause why an order should not be made on him for the support of an illegitimate child. The case had been previously twice adjourned, the de fendant having on each hearing declared that he should be able to prove he was n o t th e f a th er o f th e c hild . Th e complainant, a modest-looking young woman, named Ellen. Page, deposed that w hil e li v i ng com f or t a bl y w ith her sister she became acquainted with defendant, who was then employed on the South Western Railway. He seduced her under a promise of marriage, which he then refused to keep, Complainant gave her evidence in so straightforward and convincing a manner that de fendant's own counsel advised him to consent to an order, but he declined, and getting into the witness box swore deliberately that he had only known the com plainant as a woman of loose character. An adjourn ment then took place at his request, and on the next hearing he produced a constable of the L division named Fry, who swore that he had frequently seen complain , ant, whose calling, he said, there was no mis ' taking, going into public-houses in company with men, &c., but this witness shamefully prevaricated under cross-examination. The defendant then asked for another adjournment, and at the next hearing he produced a witness, who gave his name John Winstead, and de scribed himself as a shoemaker, living in his own house, 14, Chester-place, Hercules-buildings. This man swore that he was well acquainted with complainant, had drank with her at different public-houses, and had intimacy with her three times within the last twelve months. Complainant earnestly denied these statements, and ad led that she had never seen Winstead until that mo ment. Winstead, when cross-examined, said, that the policeman was a perfect stranger to him until that morn ing. The defendant gave the same account, but un fortunately for Winstead, he added such statements as showed both of them were unworthy of the slightest credence, and the magistrate intimated to Winstead that he must appear the following day to an swer any charge preferred against him. Befere this, however, he had absconded, and it nee since been ascer tained that he had frequently been summarily convicted as a notorious thief, had subsequently been transported for seven years, and had not long been discharged on a ticket of leave. Mr. Norton said be was glad he had taken such trouble in sifting the case, for, during the many years he hal sat on the bench, ho had not met with an affair more tlisraceful. Had Winstead male his appearance, he bave committed him for perjury. He (Mr. Nor to.i) was of opiuion that the policeman Fry La] c.-nn mitted perjury, and he was very glad find that since giving his evidence he had given in his resignation, and left the force, fur the life and liberty of no wan were slf-! whiki such persons remained in the police for;,•e.,His (Mr. Norton's) observations with respect to the other constable would apply with equal force to the defendant, who had not only been guilty of perjury himself, hut ac t vifly suborned the two witnesses to come forward and swear that which he knew to be grossly false. My opinion, continued the magistrate, is that he should riot be allowed to remain in the police force, and my decision in the case is that an order be made on the de feu Lint to pay ss. a week for six weeks after the birth of the child, and half-a-crown afterwards. The defend ant has the power of appealing if he likes. Mr. Inspector l)arkin, of the A division of the force, who was present to watch the case, said he should take care that his worship's recommendation should be com municated to the Commissioner of Police. Mr. .Charnock, the solicitor to the young woman who hat been compninant, applied to the magistrate to hold the defendant to bail to appear on a future day, when it was his intention to prefer a charge of perjury and sub ornation of perjury against him, an _1 Mr. Nin-ton complied with his request and bound over Wild in his own recog nisances of 1001. THAMES.—CRI3I. CON. AND ASSAULT ON A WIFIC BY HER HUSBAND.—Jacob Volp, a German, who keeps a potato-shop and coal-shed, at No. 12, Charles-street, Greenfield-street, Commercial road East, appeared het ore Mr. Ingham, charged with assaulting Catharine Volp, his wife. Mrs. Yolp who carried a fine child in her arms, said her husband cohabited with his servant girl while the 'witness was in the hospital ; on her recovery, she was informed of the criminal conversation between her husband and the girl, and when she remon strated with him, he abused her and ill used her. She insisted on the girl leaving the house, and her hwband said she should remain, and she should not leave for 1,000 thalers, and for no one on earth. Then they had a fall out about the girl, and her husband kicked her about the legs and arms. That was often done. On Monday he knocked her down once, and kicked her on the leg. The prisoner, in German, said his wife was very jea lous of him and his servant girl, and beat him with a fire-shovel. Mr. Ingham—ls that true, Mrs. Volp ? Did you strike him with a fire-shovel ? Mrs. Volp—Oh ! yes, mine vorship, I did—that was all in joke. (Laughter.) Mr. Ingham—A. fine joke, certainly. Mrs. VolpHe kicked me with his legs because I told him he had no right to have mine servant girl in his bed, mine vorship, while I am in the hespital. Several witnaggerl were e-Anralucd, who said that the quarrel arose out of the infidelity of Mr. Volp, who co habited with his servant girl while Mrs. - Volp was from home, and all the German women, his neighbours, "tickled too" and gave Mr. Volp a good hiding for his unfaithfulness. The girl lived in a back court in the rear of Charles-street, and, when Mrs. Volp retired to her bedroom, the girl came over a back wall to Mr. Vo'n's dwelling, and he entertained her in his parlour. Mr. Ingham—What do you sayto that, Mr. Volp? It appears your countrywomen have punished you for the faux pas you have committed ? Mi. VOlp said his wife abused him and called him an adulterer. Mr. Ingham—lt can't be expected she can allow you two wives. If you don't part with the girl she will bring you here again. Volp—l will never strike mine vrow (wife) again. Mr. Ingham—But you must part with that woman. Yelp—l ask mine vrow to prove I was in bed with the young woman. Mrs. Volp (much excited) —Yes ; I saw you mine self. I saw you in same bed. Mr. Volp said the young woman had left his house, and his wife might go too, if she liked. Mr. Ingham lectured the defendant on the gross im propriety of hi s con d uc t, an d sa id h e wou ld send him to prison and to hard labour if he beat his wife again, and ordered him to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of 201. to keep the peace for 12 months. Volp then preferred a charge of assault against a Ger man woman, named Catherine Colpe, and said he was in the Royal Oak public house in Plummer's-row, White. chapel, and the defendant came there and abused him. fle went home to avoid her, and she hit him three or four times on his face with her fist. Other German , , rna?e and female, beat him also. Ode was armed with a fire-shovel, another with a noker, and a third with a large iron weight. He nearly lost his life. Everything in his place was broken. In defence, Mrs. Colpe said the complainant struck her on the nose, and pulled her bonnet off. This state ment was confirmed by several witnesses, German and English, and the complainant's own wife said he was tipsy on Monday when the affray took place. Mr. Ingham—You have been misconducting yourself most gros-ily, Mr. Volp, and the summons is dismissed. At five o'clock, when Mr. Ingham was about to leave the court, Mrs. Volp applied for a warrant against her husband, who assaulted her and turned her out of doors the moment she went home, and threatened her hfe. Mr. Ingham granted another summons against Mr. Volp.
