POLICE.

GUILDHALL.
The correctness of the information, that thieves take cars to ob-
tain, when planning their depredations, the coolness and dex-
terity they occasionally display in effecting them, was singularly
Illustrated* this office yesterday, before the Sitting Magistrate,
Sir John Peering.
Joseph Pugh and William Edwards, two well-dresaed young
men, were brought up on the following charge of housebreaking:—
On Sunday, the 22d tilt. Mr. Haynes, umbrella and parasol
maker, 51, Fleet-street, went out early in the morning to pass the
day with his wife, who, in consequence of ill health, resides a short
distance from town. On his return home the next morning, he
found his premises had been entered by false keys, though the lock
is a peculiar one, and that articles of the value of upwards of 1001.
had been carried off. From a young woman who lives servant with
Mr. Charles, the tailor, who lives almost opposite, Mr. Haynes,
however, obtained a full description of the thieves, and meeting the
prisoner Pugh, who completely answered the description of one of
the party, in Roll's Buildings, Fetter Lane, Mr. Haynes seized him
and gave him into custody, but no part of the property has been
traced to his possession.
Patience Bewtew, Mr. Charles's servant girl, now swore positive.
ly to the person at Pugh. She was, she surd, watching the party,
which consisted of two men and a female., for Dearly an hour, from
her two pair of stairs window. Pugh stood near Mr. Hayres's
door with his hat off', so that she supposed he belonged to the
house. The female stared up at her, and the ether man put his
finger perpendicularly by the side of his nose, with the view of in-
sulting her, and driving her from the window. Pugh at length
mailed a coach off the stand, which drew up at Mr. Haynes's. At
that instant some person rang het bell, but on going to the street
door she found no one waiting. This no doubt was a trick of the
thieves to prevent her seeing the property removed, which might
have excited her suspicion, for by the time she returned to the win.
dow again, the coach had driven of.
With respect to Edwards, it was admitted he was in company
with Pugh on the evening of the robbery ; and Mr. Charles's ser-
vant thought he resembled one of the thieves, though she could not
swear so positively to him as to Pugh ; but she had pointed him
qut at Bow-street, where he was in custody upon another charge of
felony, and from whence be had been brought, after being commit.
ted to take his trial fur that offenee, is custody to this office.
The defence set up by the prisoners was an alibi.
From the positive testimony of the servant girl, however, Sir
John Peering felt it Ilia duty to commit both the prisoners for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
• It will be recollected that some time ago a foreigner, named
Ventura, was committed from this of upon a charge of bigamy,
for having intermarried with a Mrs. Bartlet, his first wife, Ludy
Colburn, being still living. At the trial Sir James Colburn was
produced on the part of 31r. Ventura, and proved that Lady Col-
burn was his lawful wife at the time she married 51r. Ventura, and ,
consequently that that marriage see null, and Mrs. Bartlet being of
matins the lawful wife of Mr. Ventura, the latter was acquitted.
Yesterday Sir James Colburn was brought before the Alagis-
trate, charged by the Overseers and Churchwardens of the parish of,,
St. George's, Hanover-square, with leaving his wife, the above.
mentioned Lady Colbum, chargeable to that parish. When the
case was called on, Sir James Colbum said that the parish of St.
George, at all events, could have no claim upon him, for he did not
reside in that parish.
Mr. ROE, the Magistrate, Inquired what parish he did be-
long to e
Sir James said, not to any parish in this country ; the parish to
which he belonged was in Scotland ; at present he was merely
lodging in Rathbone-place. He would wish, however, io the ab-
sence ut his Solicitor, to have the case adjourned until his Solicitor
could attend.
Mr. Ron said he had no objection, and the case was accordingly
adjourned.

In Loughres, on Wednesday last„about twelve o'clock at
'seen. a soldier of the Ilth Lancers, after carefully bolting and se.
..ering the door, put his pistol to the head of • woman in whose
, house he lodged and blew out her brains: he then, while the people
whom the report of the pistol drew about the house were endea-
vouring to force an entrance, deliberately loaded it again and put
an end to hie, own existence. The only reason assigned for this
dreadful act is • passion he conceived for this unhappy woman
seven or eight years since, and which she refused to gratis y.—Cork

A few days ago, one of those disgraceful scenes took
place, the actors in which ought by some .nteans to sulfa the
punishment their conduct deserves. A, !lemon named George
Rennet, of Raistick, sold his wife at Wakefield Crab for It., and
rimmed lie. to the purchaser. The woman was said and delivered
in due form, with a.haitat round tor w.k.—York "per.
