POLICE _INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—THE CASE or STRATI AN, PAUL,
AND Co.—Tae primoneri iu this case were formally re-
manded for another week, without being placed at the
bar.

Mr. Strahan and Mr. Bates attended with their bail,
a,rd the sureties were renewed.
Sir John Paul, being still without bail, was conducted
back again to the House of Detention.
Martha Henniker was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henrv, charged with stealing a silk velvet mantle, the
property of Mi.s Elizabeth A. Chibbett.
The prosecutrix was residing with her sister, Mrs.
Moss, the landlady of the Grapes public-house, in Great
Earl street, and the prisoner was in the service of the
latter. Some time back the prisoner was requested to
place the mantle in a drawer in Mi-s Chibbett's bed.
room, and a week later she was dismissed from her
situation. Among other things the mantle in question
was missed after the departure of the prisoner, and
nothing was beard of it until yesterday, when police-
constable Jones, 151 L, happened to meet the pri-
soner in Lambeth-walk, with the velvet mantle upon her
back. He accused her of getting it dishonestly, but she
avowed her innocence, until confronted with the prose-
cutrix, when she dropped on her knees and implored
forgiveness, at the same time offering to restore the pro-
perty to her.
The prisoner, finding that Miss Chibbett would not

forego the pr.secutionOn these terms, at once adopted a
different line of policy and stoutly affirmed, before the
magistrate, that the mantle was her own property.
Mr. Henry thought-the. Olsen-Ws atidaCity in claim-
ing the mantle after confessing her guilt, would be hardly
likely to serve her. She must be committed for trial.
A welt-dressed man, earned George Purser, aged 35,
was charged with having in his possession two of the
gtld watches recently stolen from 11Ir. Milleret's, 1,
Cecil-street, Strand.
Henry Dodd, assistant to Mr. Avant, pawnbroker, of
14, Fleet-street, deposed that the prisoner on Tuesday
evening offered to pledge the gold watch produced for
4/ As. Witness opened it, and seeing that the name
on the dial plate had been altered, made a further inves•
tigation of the works, urn which he discovered the
name of Mr. Milleret engraved upon the interior, and
f"uhfl that the number of the watch corresponded with
one of those which had been lately stolen from Mr. Mil-
leret's rooms in Cecil-street. He sett round to the
police-office and gave the prisoner into custody. The
prisoner said lie had received the watch from a person
outsice, and if he had known what witness was going to
do, would have
but it was now too late, as the stranger was gone.
Thomaspointed the man out to him in the street,
Cox, assistant to Mr. Tomlinson, pawnbroker,
254, Strand, identified the prisoner as the man who had
Pled4ed another of Mr. Miller:4'e watches at his ern-.
ployer' ahep on Thursday last, for 31. stating that
it was for a party in Essex-street, Strand. In this cage
the name of Mr. Milleret had been completely oblite-
rated, and another name engraved, but the prosecut r
was able to identify it.

A City constable, Hills, 331,
stated that when he
took the prisoner into custody he told witvess that
the watch was given to him to pledge by a wan whom'
he met at Charlton's. in liolywell—tr.-et.
The prisoner made the following s'atement, after the
nsual caution had been put to him by Mr Henry •—On
Thursday la 4 I was in the shop of Mr. Charlton, watch
maker, of Holy wall-mtreet. I deal a little in wate is
myself, and called there or, bu-inese. After I had been
iu the shop some time a gentleman, a six ,nger to me,
cams in and said to Mr. Charlton, "Is that reary e He

3!tirg. Charlton,_ancl Charlton himself wet it out. I re-
mained in the shop, and t• en the stranger asked me if I
would buy a double ease gold watch. H, a-ked 6/. for
it, but I haid I had hot the money to buy. it. He On n
asked me if I would pledge it for him, as he had a case
to attend to at We-tminster, and wanted .some, money,
adding that if I would do so he would glue roe 2.. 6d.
for my trouble. We went to the Spotted Dog, in the
Strand,- aid he treated me to some porter, after which I
went to Tomlinson's, and pledged the watch for 3/. 10s.
On my return we went to the Cheshire Cheese, and
he got change for the half-sovereign, and pal d me my
halferown, besides standing some gin. Last evening I
went to Mr. Charlton's again. There was a tall man in
the shop—a big man, with sandy whiskers—wlaom I
had sees before, and believed to be in the bettinig way.
He was talking to Charlton, a, d presently the man who
gave me the watch to pledge came in and spoke tra the
tall man and to Charlton. The i:..trer said he would send
it (not i-tating what) remd to the Spotted Dolt, and then
the man asked me to go and drink with him again. I
went with him to the Spotted Dog, and after we had
been there a short time Charlton brought round a
watch, which he gave to the gentleman, who asked me
to go and pledgo it for him on the same terms as before.
I then took the watch to Avant's, in Fleet-street. I
never knew the gentleman's Dame who gave me the
watcbe.. When I fir,t saw him he hai some papers,
and said he was in the same business as Mr. White— I
meaning a solicitor, in Essex-street, whose name had
been mentioned,

Mr. Henry—What are you ?
Prisoner—l am a waiter, at present out of employ. I
was three years at the Temple Stores, and before that at
the Nag's Head.
Inspectnr Mackenzie said the prisoner described him-
self as a dealer in watches, and several watches were
found in his possession, but none other of the stolen pro-
perty.
Prisoner stated that he bought a few watches of Mr.
Charlton and of Mr. Kemp, with the money that he had
saved in his situation, with the view of dealing with
them.

The prisoner's former mistress gave him a good cha-
racter.

Mr. Henry remanded the prisoner, to be brought up
with the other man in custody on the same charge.

WORSHIP-STREET. Martha !lead, an aged
Oman, described as a laundress, was charged before
Mr. D'Eyncourt with stealing a silk dress and satin
mantle. and other miscellaneous property, belonging to
George Walters, residing in Barbican.
Prosecutor said that about two years past his wife,
who at that time appeared in excellent health, absconded
surreptitiously from home, taking with her, as he be-
lieved, the whole of her wardrobe, and various articles
belonging to himself. After an anxious and persevering
search for her, he at length ascertained that shortly after
her departure she had been seized with a serious illness,
and had been taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where she died almost immediately after her. admission.
The prisoner was then lodging in his house, and having
been on terms of close intimacy with his wife, he ques-
tioned ber with a view of ascertaining what had become
of the missing property, but she denied all knowledge of
it, and soon after left the premises without notice. He
was unable to obtain any tieings up in the subject until
a few days since, when ho received private information
that she had redeemed a portion of his property from a
pawnbroker's in 01d-street, where she hail previously
pledged it. He accordingly obtained the assistance of
the police, who traced her to an obscure lodging near
the City-road, where they discovered he elk dresses,
bed linen, and other articles now produced, which he at
once identified.

In defence Prisoner Faid the wife bad been compelled
to leave prosecutor from his repeated ill-usage, at v.hich
time she was in a wretched state of health, and requested
her (prisoner) to take char4e of the property, with the
understain:ing that she si:ould keep it altogether, unless
sho ;ater war. is reclaimed it.

Prosecut r emphatically denied baying in any way
treated his wife, and the magigra,e oritred the accused
to be reioanded for depositions.

WESTMINSTER—Sarah Taylor. alias Hicks, a girl
18 years of age, was charged with tile following heartless
and cruel rubbery, the details of which excited general
commiseration.

About a ni.oith ago, Anne Paul, the widow of a soldier
ho lost his life in the Crimea, saw the prisoner in a
deplorable condition opposite her abode in Little
Chapel-street, Westminster, and having learned trim
her that she was friendless, and had been recently dis-
charged from the workhouse, told her that if she would
be a good girl she would clothe and feed her, and she
should assist her, as she had recently broken her leg and
was scarcely able to get about. Prisoner was acconl-
ingly kindly taken in and provided for, and remained
five days, at the end of which she absconded, taking with
her every article of clothing her benefactress possessed,
amounting in value to 41. Information was given to the
police, and the prisoner was apprehended on Tue,day
night at the door of St. Martin's workhouse, where he
was applying for relief. She was found wearing some of
the things, and bad disposed of the others.
Mr. Arnold asked the prosecutrix how she broke her
leg

The poor woman replied, that after the death of her
husband she VIM permitted to sell ginger beer to the sol-
diers at Wellington Barracks, and in taking some there
she slipped down.
Mr. Arnold gave the poor woman (who is still on
°rata...) 10.3 from the pour-boa, and recati.ndol the pri.
soner till Friday.

MARLBOROUGH-SIRE ET.— Francis M‘Gavan,
Tune JPGavan (his wife), ai.d John M‘Gavan (their son),
aged 14, were charged before Mr. Bingham, by Hors-
t r!, jun., an officer of the N.endicity Society, with
being found begging.
The officer stated that on Tuesday afternoon he was in
the Green-park, when he saw the prisoner John and an-
other son of the elder prisoner, who is a cripple. He fol-
lowed them into Pall-mall, and thence into St. James's-
square, when the son gave his mother some money.
While he was watching the pH< oners he observed that
the prisoner John lifted up the pockets of five or six
gentlemen with one hand, and put his other hand in
their pockets. He obtained the asei,tance of two police
constables, when the three prisoners were taken into
,n,t-dv. The cripple got away. Horsford further
added that the con of the prisoners Francis and Jane had
been alhwed a holiday for a week by the governor of
Redid') Prison, whFre he has been sent for four years'
reformation. The female prisoner has been twice con-
victed, and the cripple a short time ago had a month's
imprisonment in the House of GaTection.

In answer to the magistrate, Horsford stated that he
believed the boys at Redhill school had a week's holiday
allowed them occasionally.
The elder male priioner made a long statement, in
the cour.e of which be said be met his childrer, who
isad a black dna. in a leading•string, and he compelled
them to let the dog gn.
Mr. Binullam observed that lie must dislhsrge the
female, as in law she was euppo ed to be acting under
the !era of her husband.

The f•tlwr pri,:oners were sent to the H )use of Correc•
tion each for 14 days.

LAMB ETH.—Thoincts Harris, a very stout seafaring-
looking man, was placed before Mr. Elliott, on the
charge of being drunk, as•aulting a female, and wilfully
breaking four squares of Wass at 4, St. Amlrew's-terrace,
Lambeth, on the previous evering. T.:e house where
the ,Ifence wa, committed belongs to that class of "pri-
vate" dwellings which "Jack" unfortunately runs head-
long towards whenever he leaves the salt water, and in
which places he is general y "taken in and done for."
It appeared from the evidence on the oresert occasion
that the prisoner had not been Vag from the Crimea,
where he had been serving in some capacity on board the
Sydney. He came up to town from Deptford, and
whilst enjoying himself in the usual riot,.us way with
seamen, wound up at a little after 12 o'clock by a grand
assault in force, which was speedily converted into a
storm upon the windows and other articles within the
above-named house. As the work of demolition was
going forward an a rapid manner, a policeman was
found and defendant was ultimately made prisoner and
led off. He charged same of " the girls" with robbing
him and stealing his watch, the broken rirg of which
was produced in court, but the charge was not substan-
tiated.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, admitted all
that had been stated against him, and urged, as an ex-
tenuation, that he had not been long home, and after
behaving " decently" to the ladies he felt very much
exasperated at losing his hard-earned mo iey ani watch,
and thinking that some of the women in that house had
taken it he certainly did begin to lay about him, in the
hope that to prevent the sma.hing of the place it would
be returned. He, however, sadly miscalculated in the
matter.

Mr. Elliott, after hearing a good deal on both sides of
the question, ultimlitely discharged the prisoner, and re -
commended him to bestow half-a-crown (his last coin) on
one of the females, as some compensation for having
struck her.
The arrangement seemed to agree well with all parties,
and it was done.
This day, as on the day before, the sitting magistrate,
Mr. Elliott, was engaced the whole of the morning hear
ing and disposing of the charges brought from Camber-
well fair, of which there were not less than a dozen,
some for assaults, hut the principal number for felony.
This fair, which in the good old times was one of public
recreati.n and amusement. has of late years become
nacTely the rendezvous of all the thieves and vicious cha
ratters in the metropolis and a public nuisance to the
respectable inhabitants in the neivhbourheod.

. TELE " YUCCA GLORIOSA."—A tine specimen of this
rare and wonderful plant might have been seen in full
blossom three weeks ago in Hyde park•square, having
thrown out a stern some feet in height, covered with
beautiful bell-sha
ped flowers , f a pile lemon colour.
The novelty of one of these plants blooming in a public
thoroughfare attracted, 44 may be supposed, a great
many visit.ir,i. The blo,soms have now died away, but
the stern has not entirely decayed.
