POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Nov, 8.

GUILDHALL.—DanieI Slater was charged before
Sir R. W. Carden with stealing a pair of boots from the
Salutation Tavern, Newgate-street.
Mr. Thomas Rudkin said—He managed the business
of the tavern for his mother. He engaged the prisoner
as a porter about three weeks ago, but finding he did not
suit, he discharged him last Saturday. From information
he received he had him apprehended.
Henry Turner, a butcher, of Newgate Market, said he
saw the prisoner walk out of the Salutation Tavern
about 6 o'clock the previous morning with the pair of
boots under his arm, and none on his feet. He came
out of the side in Rose-street.

Wm. Bailey, a detective officer, said he took the pri-
soner into custody the previous evening, and found the
boots in question on his feet. He also found on him four
cards for a raffle for a pair of boots, to take place on
Monday at the Cheshire Cheese, Mount Pleasant, Gray's-
inn-road.
Sir R. W. Carden said this was a new mode of getting
rid of stolen property ).
The prisoner said those cards did not relate to the
same boots.

Sir R. W. Carden asked him how he got in
Mr. Rudkin said he knew this usual hour of opening
the front door, and must have watched that opportunity
to get in.
Sir R. W. Carden said it was evident he went there
for something else besides boots, but was disturbed.
The prisoner said he acknowledged taking the boots.
Pre went there for boots only, because his own were bad,
and he did not want to put his parents to the expense
of a new pair.
Sir R. W. Carden said it was a most serious offence,
and he should therefore send him to the House of Cor-
rection for three months.

Mery Ann Cox, a respectably-dressed middle-aged
woman, was placed at the bar before Sir R. W. Carden,
charged with knowingly uttering two forged Si. Bank
of England notes.
James Soar, an assistant to Mr. Wm. Bickley, a man-
tle and shawl warehouseman, of No. 7, Ludgate-street,
said that on Wednesday the prisoner went to his shop
and bought a mantle of the value of 355., in payment of
which she tendered a 51. Bank of England note. He
wrote her address at the back of it, and passed it to the
shopwoman to take to Mr. Bickley for change. Mr.
Bickley did not like the appearance of it, and told wit-
ness to ask the prisoner if she had any small change.
She said she had not, and Mr. Bickley gave the change
for the note to the shopwoman, who gave it to the pri-
soner, and she left the shop with the mantle in a brown
paper parcel. He was certain the prisoner was the per-
son who passed the Si. note.
Sir R. W. Carden (after looking at the back of the
note)—There is a sum put on the back of this note, and
marked as if it had been paid into the Bank of England
with other money, and received there as good, and then
allowed to come out again. It is one of the deepest
schemes I ever heard of, but they who did it did not
know that the Bank of England never make a re-issue.
Josiah Scott, an assistant to Messrs. Thomas Baker
and Co., silk mercers, of 3 and 4, Ludgate-street, said,
when he went to business on Thursday morning last he
saw a parcel directed to Mrs. Cox, No. 5, Union-street,
Borough-road. As there was some suspicion about the
Si. note she tendered the previous evening to Mr. W.
Cooper, an assistant in the same service, he took the par-
cel himself to 5, Union-street, Borough-road, and there
he saw the prisoner, who showed him into a small room,
and tendered him a Si. note. That produced was the one.
He said he had not change with him, but that if she would
allow him he would take the note back and send her the
change in less than au hour. After dome hesitation she
