THE POLICE COMM

James Walker, a well known thief charged with steal-
ing • quantity of 'amble linen from the gardens of Nos.
12 and 18, Highbury-grove Villas, liighbury, the property
of Mr. Castelli. Theprisoner, about eight o'clock in the
evening, was seen by sergeant Devitt, 32 N, an active officer,
in company with another man, carrying a very large basket
fall of linen. Suspecting them the sergeant followed the men
along Highbuty-grove, when seeing they were watched
separated. The sergeant made after the mancarrying the
and after Tustin big him, and not receiving any
reply he took him into custody. The prisoner then =I
to escape, but was overpowered and conveyed to the polio,
station, when it was found the beast contained about 301.
worth of wet linen, consisting of shirts and the until woring
apparel of ladies and gentlemen. The prisoner, who gave a
false name and address, has been previously convicted of
felony.
The prisoner said he was asked by a person, whom he did
not know, to carry the basket, and was very much surprised
when he found that the clothes had been stolen.

11;.iyrtibItt midi; should moat cartel:ll;7le to see that
benevolent person who was always employing men whom he
had never seen before to carry property for him. As the
prisoner had been before convicted, he should not decide the
came, but would send it to the pervious to be tried.
The prisoner who said he would rather have had the cam
decided by his worship, was then removed.

WORSHIP-STREET.
William Chandler and Jaime Chapman constables of the
H diviodon, appeared by order of the Polim'Commissionen to
answer a charge of assault and other gross misconduct pre-
ferred against them by Philip Fry, a wardrobe...dealer in
Crown-street, Soho. _ _ _

The inWie-r.toeWowed that shortly after Ave o'clock In the
afternoon of the 4th inst., complainant was passing through
a street in tipitalfielda with a large bundle of women's dresses
to take to his brother-in-law's to wash according to w
custom, when he was stopped by the prisoners, who char
him with having stolen the bundle from a cart in W te-
chapel, and declared that they saw him do Indignant at
this aspersion he threatened to report them, and they then
indulged in foul language, and said if he did they would not
believe a Jew on his oath. He reached his brothels house
is Fashion-street, followed by defendants, and while he was
telling his brother what had happened the door was suddenly
bast opts, and in rushed two policemen with theftl
truncheons In their hands. One dashed complainant to the
ground, and the other seized his brother-ut-law by the
and took him into custody and seized the clothes, sad
one of the dresses was lost while in the policemen's posses-
doe. Oa being dragged to the station-house he gave the
inspector evidence 'of being a respectable man, and was
allowed to depart, and he at once brought the case under the
notice of the Police Commissioners.

Mr. Harumill committed the accused parties for trial, but
consented to accept bail for their appearance.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Ann Parsons, • respectable-looking woman of about 40
years of age, was charged with endeavouring to enter the
service of the Hon. Frederick Byng, by pretending that she
had lived in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Reid, of Orchard-
place, Blackwell, for nearly two years, which was false in
every particular.
The Hon. Frederick Byng, on being sworn, said—l reside
at 37, St. James's-place. On or about the 19th of February,
being in went of a cook, I answered an advertisement, and
the prisoner offered herself for the situation. She stated
she could receive • good character from Mr. and Mrs.
Reid, of 3, Orchard-plane, Blackwell, with whom she
had lived as servant. I wrote to Mrs. Reid in conse-
quence' of the prisoner's statement, and received per post
the answer, eddressed to Mrs. Byng, which I now produce.
It is so very badly written and misspelt that I doubted
its coming from persons of such respectability as she had
represented—she had said when applying for the situation
that they kept two servants—and I therefore proceeded to
Blackwell. I found Mr. and Mrs. Reid lived in 17(04-street,
a small turning leading from Orchard-place, where they kept
a chandler's shop and a mangle.
Mrs. Ann Read, of No. 3, `Pest-stmt, Blackwell, said—l
know the prisoner by her living with Miss Turner, of West-
ron-place, Blackwell. Prisoner came to me and asked to to
take • letter in for her which she expected by poet, the name
on which would be Marshall. This was on a Tuesday and
the following Friday she came again and inquired If her
letter had arrived. On finding it had not, she said the letter
would come in my name. A letter did oome after this, bat
while I was out. The prisoner had that letter, and I did not
know what it was about. She never lived with me u a
servant, and I never authorised her to refer persons to me for
a character.

Some other evidence having been taken, Mr. Bingham in-
flicted a fine of 20C, or three months' imprisonment.
