POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE. —Samuel IVoodlouse, who has
been for some time known to the police as an active as-
sociate of thieves and housebreakers, was brought before
Sir R. W. Carden upon the charge of having feloni-
ously received a Bank of England note for 201., which
had, together with other bank notes, been stolen from
Mrs. Parsons by two women and a little girl, near the
station at London-bridge.
Inspector Brennan, of the G division, said—Between
7 and 8 o'clock this morning, in consequence of informa-
tion which I received, I went with another constable to
No. 19, Sarah-street, Kingsland-road, Shoreditcb. I
found the prisoner in bed there. I was in plain clothes,
and I said to him that I belonged to the police, and came
to take him into custody for being concerned, with
others, in stealing a sum of money in bank notes, in the
month of July last, and that I was also informed that
he had been fund recently dealing with a 201. note,
part of that robbery, on which charge a publican named
Foley was in custody. He said, "I know nothing at all
about it. I know nothing of what you are talking of.
I don't think you know what you are talking about your-
self. What do you want me for ?" I then repeated what
I had previously stated, and told hint to dress himself. He
sat some time on the bed, and then I asked him, " Pray
how long are you going to keep me here ?" He said,
" You know you must not ask me questions—it is not
your duty." After he had dressed himself we proceeded
down the Kingsland-road towards Shoreditch church.
He said, " Where are you going to take me to ?" I
said, "To Foley's public-house ; and if you are not
identified you shall not be detained." He waited for
some time, and then he said, " Well, you can only make
a witness of me. I'll be a witness, so help me God, if
you like." He then said, " We went with Tom what's his
name—l forget his name, but Ted Foley knows him for
these 20 years—last Wednesday week, and Tom asked
him whether he would buy a 201. note. We told him it
was square, and he said be did not care a d—. He
bought it for 121. We told him riot to take it to the Bsnk,
or it would burn him." He said, "I don't think he (Ted
Foley weot himself to the Bank ; but he sent some one
else. He told us he should not begone above three quar-
ters of an hour, and I don't think he came back for two
hours and a half." The note was, the -pissoner said, an
old ripped up thing.
The prisoner—Witness, I wish to ask you a question.
You say that I stated that we went last Wednesday
week to Foley's. Now how could that be when everyone
knows that the thing took place this day week ?
Witness—l have only stated what I believed you said.
Russell (the detective officer) said—This day week
Foley, the publican, who is now in prison, was taken into
custody charged with having received a 201. note. I
was present at the time. Toe note was produced here,
and was much torn and dilapidated, and a lady named
Parsons gave evidence on that occasion of the loss of
it. On Wednesday last, on first going into Foley's
house with the man named Bernstein, who had gone
to the Bank to change the 201. note, I saw the pri-
soner and another man at the end of the bar, sitting
on a tub, and when Foley came home afterwards he
was taken into custody, but the prisoner and the other
man who accompanied him left the house after I went.
and Foley, upon speaking to his wife, said the men I
had seen at the bar were those from whom he had re-
ceived the 201. note.
Sir R. W. Carden—lt has been said that the prisoner
is known to the police. Has he been in prison on any
serious charge ?
Several officers said the prisoners had been several
times in prison, and had lately been committed from the
Mansion-house.
The prisoner—That was only for 'nagging.
Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said the prisoner's con-
stant employment was to watch for and pick up coun-
trymen, induce them to go to low public-houses, and rab
them of their money and watches, by tricks with cards.
The prisoner—That's all, my lord. It's mere mag-
ging ; nothing but card playing. I know I was at
Foley's at the time the officer was there. There's no
doubt of it.
The prisoner was remanded.
Mr. Hobler, the solicitor to Foley, who was on Wed-
nesday, the Bth of August, remanded to prison upon the
charge of having feloniously received the note, attended
with bail for the prisoner, and offered two respectable
sureties for the appearance of his client ; but
Sir R. W. Carden said it was quite impossible that he
could think of accepting bail after the evidence he had
heard that day.
_ _ _

The prisoner W 33 then ordered to be brought up,
together with Foley, for further examination on a future
day.

Joseph Saunders, a we'l-known pickpocket, who has
been frequently committed from the Mansion-house and
Guildhall justice rooms, and a young man of respect-
able appearance named Ford, who laboured under the
infirmity of deafness, were charged with having st den
10s. 6d. out of a lady's pocket.
Thomas Smith, messenger at St. Bartholomew's Hos-
pital, said—Last night about 8 o'clock, I was on Lon-
don-bridge, and Ford looked at me in rather a eupicious
wanner, and then I observed Saunders in front of two
females. Ford was close behind them. I saw Saunders
put his band into the pocket of one of the females, both
of whom then crossed the bridge, and I went over to
them and asked them whether they had loot anything.
They said they bad not ; but upon my saying "I was
glad of that," one of them put her hand in her pocket
and said she had lost twelve shillings. I then told her
to follow me, and I called a policeman. I saw the two
prisoners in conversation together, and they parted, and
I pointed out Saunders to the policeman as one of the
two wbo had committed the robbery. Ford said to me
that I had better make a job of it.
Cross-examined by Saunders—l saw your hand in the
lady's pocket..

The complainant said she knew nothing, but that she
had been robbed of the money.
Ford—He says he saw me speaking to this boy (Saun-
ders.) I call God to witness that I never saw the bey
till I went over to where the crowd was about him, and
then I was taken into custody, the first witness having
pointed me out as one of them. I never thought of such
a thing as picking pockets.
Sir R. W. Carden'very closely inquired into the par-
ticulars of the case, and was informed by a detective
policeman, who asked about Ford's character in the
neighbourhood in which the young man resided, as well
as about his pursuits, that no imputation of any kind
had been cast upon him at any time. The alderman,
after having re-examined the witness, said, that of the
guilt of Saunders there was not the slightest doubt, but
his opinion of Ford was quite different from that he had
been obliged to form of that offender. He did not be-
lieve that Ford had any the slightest participation in the
conduct of the person next to whom he had been placed
at the bar, and it was his firm impression that the wit-
ness Smith, who had acted with such praiseworthy zeal
for the service of the ladies, was mistaken as to the
identity of that young man, who would leave the justice-
room without any injury to his character.
Saunders was then sentenced to be imprisoned in Hol-
loway Gaol with hard labour for three calendar months.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Emma Xppelein,
wife of the Prussian ambassador's porter, appeared before
Mr. Bingham to refute the charge brought against her
by a countrywoman of having stolen from her an ear
jewel of the alleged value of 6,000 dollars.
The complainant, it will be recollected, stated that she
had a jewel in her possession which she had refused
5,000 dollars for at Leipsic, and which she had offered
for sale to the Baroness Rothschild ; that she went to
the Prussian ambassador's for assistance ; that she
showed the jewel to the porter ; that the porter took
her home to his wife, the accused ; and, that, after
staying two or three nights at the prisoner's lodging, she
missed her jewel under circumstances which induced her
to charge the porter's wife with the robbery.
Mr. Bingham, from the earnestness of the complain-
ant, although evidently not placing entire credit in her
story, was induced to remand the- charge to a future
day, in Order to give time to the accused to produce
evidence of her innocence.
The accused was enabled to bring forward such testi-
reo37 as clearly proved that the story was trumped up. that
P}e'jewel was valueless and that certain documents
bgaring tiler Baroness Rothschild's signature were
spurious.

Mr. Bingham was satisfied with the evidence, and im
mediately dismisßed the charge.
Ilerbert Templeman was ordered to find bail to answer
the charge of keeping a house cf ill-faine, at 92, New-
man-street.
The house is .well known_ ,o being connected with the

LAMBETFL—Francis Morris, a well-known and
convicted thief, surrendered in discharge of his bail.
' On the night of Wednesday, the Ist inst., three notori-
ous pickpockets, named Caroline Cox, Eliza Scott, and
Agnes Morris, were apprehended at the Waterloo-sta•
tion by Inspector Bent while attempting to pick the
pockets of some passengers who bad arrived by the
Portsmouth train. When taken to the police-station,
jthe prisoner Morris drew from her arm pit and close
to her skin a purse containing 25 sovereigns, which
she said were marked and were her own property, and
also a gold watch and chain, which she said belonged
to her. On the following day the prisoner volun-
teered himself as a witness, and swore that• the money
in the purse was his property, and that hei,bad given it to
her to keep, but his account of himself, and his mode of
living, was unsatisfactory, and it was also morn by a
constable that the prisoner rushed to the cab door and
spoke to his wife, Agnes Morris, telling her to say the
money found on her was her own, ani further had made
use of violent threats towards the constable. Mr. Norton
therefore was of opinion that he had something to do
with stealing the money found on his wife, and ordered
him into custody, but admitted him to bail. At the sub-
sequent examination of the prisoners they were all
sworn to as notorious and convicted pickpockets, and the
three women were sent to Wandsworth House of Cor-
rection for three months each. The male prisoner,
Morris, was remanded on bail.
Yesterday Mr. Bent informed the magistrate that
though he had received numerous communications from
persons who„had been robbed none of them described
