TEE POLICE COLrBTIL
MANSION-HOBBS.
William Murray, Jules Sol/svan, Mary Hart, and Mary
Aura N iPIIIB, were charged with haring plundered shops iu
the City.
A Green (376) said : At twenty minutes to four yesterday
I saw all the prisoners in Fleet.otreet, and followed them
up Ludnate•hill. Murray, Sullivan, and Hart went into
the shop of Mr. Morris, Nimes welting outride. After
being there sone time they *sue out and Joined Names, and
then the three women went into Mr. Blaskat's stay ware-
hoots oa Ludgate-bill, and left Murray outside. They
soon Joiesd company together, and went to the shop of Mr.
Cunningham, No. 67, Cheayside, into which Murray and
Bu.livan and Hest went (leaving Nimes again outside),
and looked at *lime caps. As soon as they left the
shop I went in and spoke to the gentlemen there,
a then followed the prisoners. Murray, Sullivan, and
art went into the shop of Messrs. White, the hatters,
at 68, Cesiapsidit, and at looted at some cape. I then ob-
served Sullivan and Hart handling some caps in the shop,
after remaining in which fir some time they came out, and
all foot joining together they ran down Bucklersbury int.
Thames-street, where Murray took off his own cap, put it
lin his pocket, sad put on an. lfer car. I continued watch.
leg them as far ea Tower-hill, when I obtained assistance,
apprehended them ail, and conveyer: them to Seething-lane
station-hawse, where I asked them how many caps they had
about them. Bs:liven and Heft then handed me one cap
each, and said This ie all we have pot, sir. We have
not taken any more from your shop, and ho's you will
forgive us." I was in plain clothes at the time. Upon
searching Murray I foetid this other cap (a green plaid) in
hie picket.
Maria Chambers, ameba at Seething-lase station house,
said': 1 found on Sullivan a pert monnaie and four dupii-
eaten ; on Hart, the handkerchief produced; arid Nimes
dropped the new coat produced from under his clothes. It
had the shop ticket upon it, sad Nimes asked me to pull
the ticket off, but I refused to do so. While they were in
the station-huuse Hart and Sullivan communicated with

each • ther by talking on their Bogen. Ido not understand
the &ger leaguer,.
Joseph 1341• VIII, sbopman to Mr. 0. Cunningham, 67,
Chnipside, hatter, said About 4 o'clock yesterday Murray,
Sullivan and Hart nun into our shop and asked to look at
110/116 bleak saps. I showed them some, and then they asked '
for a small red plaid asp. I showed them a great number,
but Murray said he did not see soy that would suit
him, and thee left the shop without purchasing any.
The blue and green sap prodeeed is, I believe, one of our
caps. I showed them a great numtwrof ape of the kind.
F. Walter, shopman to Mr. White, of 68, Cheepside, gave
evidence of the visit of the prisoners to that establishment.
Some of the caps produced were the property of Mr. White,
and had been put in the shop window yesterday morning.
J. D. Miles, assistant to Messrs. Weller and Barker, of
288, Holborn. tailors sad clothier., said : Yesterday, be-
twetn 2 and 8 o'clock, Marra; came into the shop, and soon
afterwards Hart and Nimes entered. The male prisoner 'I
said be wanted to look at some coats, and I showed him a'
great number, but he said the prim was too high, and I
asked to look at some cheaper ones. He then selected one,
and said that he should like a little alteration in it. I
undertook to make the alteration, and then he said, " If
I leave a shilling deposit I suppose that will do." Hart
said, " Oh, leave him two 'hitless," and Murray gave me
two shillings as a deposit, end they win to call to-night for
the coat. Aswan ae they were gone we suspected they had
stolen something. The coat produced, which was stated to
have fallen from Nimes's clothes in the station-house, is one
of those which I exhibited to Murray, and which he con-
sidered to be of too high a figure. It had our ticket upon it
in the writing of one of the partoer., and Murray said he
liked it, but not the prior—lL 7.. 84.
The officer said the prisoners MOM in the habit of taking
the whole length of Leaden, from east to west and beak, is I
their visits to the various trades daily, and he mewed that
the Lord Mayor would remand them fur a week, in order
that opportunity might be afforded to numbers of plundered
shopkeepers to attend and identify them as the thieves.
The Lord Mayor consented to remand the pr loners for a
week, and said the *Seer had displayed much skill and
perseverance in the plan he bad pursued with respect to the
whole of the gang.
GUILDHALL. _ _

Num. Siweu and 6oftWri,photographic artists, of Fir.
ringdon.etrest, were summoned for assaulting Mr. Hawes, a
grocer, of the Rdgearseroad.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the defendants.
The complainant stated he went with a friend to the de-
fendants' rooms to have their portraits taken, having bees
induced td do so by the announcement, " In this style for
is." They approved of their likenesses and took their
departure. They bad only proceeded a few yards along
Farringdon-street, when the complainant having • de-
sire to look at his portrait, took it out, but found to his
chagrin that the face had been rubbed out by the paper in
which the portrait was wrapped. He returned to the
defendants and accused them of imposition, and after some
altercation told them he would eaad at their door for an hour
or two to warn away other customers. Upon this Calvert
snatched the portrait from witness, and ultimately a regular
light took place, to which complainant received a bruised
tam and other injary. The portrait was also destroyed.
Mr. Lewis addressed the wart for the defrace, and was
intenspted by
Sir R. W. Carden, who said the 'oomplainant had acted
improperly in accusing the defendants of swindling him. If
he had gone to thews gentlemen and stated the accident that
had happened to his portrait in • proper , he bad
no doubt, from their appearance, they would have done
what was right by him. It was to their interest to do so,
and he could not think they would court such a disturbance
ea their own premise..
The summons wee therefore dismissed.
A gentleman attended before Alderman Finals to Com.
plain of a number of persons who, he said, were members of
the well known "Towsery gang." They were conducting
sales of linendrapery at • house on Ludgate-hill, which they
styled in their placards "Ye House of Lad," aad putting
forth announcements to the effect that they were selling off
sacrifices.

laLairapt etail7e- of dripsey at rOinous _
Among others they pretended they bad the stock of Sir John
Dean Paul, who wee no draper at all, to dispose of. The
elate most imposed upon were poor servants, who, &Masted
by the " eatraordiaary bargains" offered to them by
the gang in questios, sapeaded their pittassa
of wages for goods which ware almost valueless.
It was only a few days ago that applicant's servant was iss
dosed he lay out SOL of her wages; and at showing the
articles purchased to a respectable Vertumnus, he pcss
sosseed them too dear by half.
Messrs. Killielk and Co., a highly respectable firm carry-
** on business as baberdashays and haters, nest door to
Alderman Sidney's, and within a few doors of this House
a Lad," have bees eseeedingly annoyed by the foliose's'
exhibited in a conspicuous part of the premises
HoveEbt of Lad :"
" Linen Goods.—Snrpluisap Stnek.—Consigned from the
Imasivent estate of Billie,* sod Co., together with towels,
ea—Linen at 2s. Si., all now to be sold at It per yard."
The applicant further stated that the only diffcrence
the name was the addition of an "B" in the placard; sad
If Messrs. Billie'', who had always paid 20s. in the posed.
and weteinsolvent, had not held a highly reputabh
position, such an ansovasement would hare ruined them,
and ceased them irreparable injury. The applieast
wished to know if Messrs. Kink& and Co. had say reused'
against this gang of liaindrapen.
Alderman Finals said be thought this was not the AM
complaint against the holm on Ludgate bill, and as the"
had touters at the door giving sway handbills, he would
recommend giving them into custody for obstruetiog ohs
thoroughfare.
Mr. Martin, the 'hist clerk, said the house in question
was not the only one who touted for customers is this dir
trier, as there was another house in St. Paul'e-chorchyarl
when the 'lmpugn stood outside giving away bills sad
tomb', for custom. It woe the duty of the polies to inter-
fere and put a stop to such a disgraceful practice. With
regard to the placard, Messrs. Killick's remedy would be
in the superior courts.
Alderman Fiona said it would be as use to bring an
action against a gang of swindlers, who were here to-day
and goals to-morrow. The public were much indebted le
the applicant, and his friends Messrs. Biala and Co., foe
bringing the subject before them. The worthy alder-
man concluded by expressing his astouishmeat that this
poi should have carried on their operations so long, sad
Mot people would allow theinsalets to be so easily galliek
by {Mrs.
The applicant then thanked his worrhip and withdrew.
BOW-STREET.

Mr. Dancombe, solicitor (.170--17ae asoompanied by Mr.
B. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane), applied to Mr.
Henry far • wariest against a person named Jenkins, un-
der the following menneistances.
The application was made oa behalf of • Mr. Thompson,
who has lately arrived in England from America with a
couple of African children (girls), who are united in the
manner of the celebrated Siamese twins. According to
the statement made to the saint, the 'shade's were " ap-
prenticed " to Mr. Thompson, and during their recant stay
in London they were domiciled at the Bedford Hotel, Co-
vent-garden, under the *barge of Jenkins. Of nurse they
were intended for exhibition ; and while negotiations were
pending with this view, the children were suddenly
found missing. On inquiry, it was found that Jenkins
had absconded with them from the Bedford Ho-
tel, and proceeded direct to Scotland, where be is now
inhibiting them to the publie, at a lac to Mr. Thompson,
as be affirms, of several thousand pounds. When their
retreat was discovered, Mr. Thompson hurried to the north
end laid his complaint before the judicial authorities, who,
however, espraissed their unwillinguese to ions • warrant,
or to take anyttepe against Jenkins, wane supported by the
authority of a London magistrate, in whose district the
alleged &initiation of the children took place. Failing in
ibis effort, the complainant sought to proceed evilest
iinklos on other gr.ands—prefering a charge of felony, in
respect to the sloth.., in which the African twins were at-
tired, and which he had also taken with hiss. In this
matter they were referred to the magistrate in whose
jarfediagion tin took place.
