POLICE INTELLIGENCE---This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS MASTER
ROBBERY AND RECEIVING.—Francis Hatswell, a young
man, barman to Mr William Thomson, of the Black
Horse public-house, Haymarket, was citarged before Mr
Tyrwhitt with robbing his mister of 6d, and Andrew Hart,
a bootmaker, of 22, Ranelagh-grove, Pimlico, was charged
with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen.
Mr Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection
Society, prosecuted.

In opening the case Mr Child said the prisoner Hatwell
had only been three weeks in Mr Thompson's employ, and
had been carrying on a system of robberies very common,
namely, by having a person to come in and put down a
small coin, and giving change as for a large one. The pri
senor Hart had never been a visitor at Mr Thomsen's till
after Haswell came to live there, and since then he had
be:n in the habit of going to the house five nighs_a out of
the seven, and three or four times a night.
Mr W. Thomson said that suspecting Hatswell he
watched him last night, and a little after 12 Hart came in
and called for some warm gin and water, which Hatewell
served him with. Hart put down a shilling on the counter,
and Hatswell took from the till a 61. and some coppers, and
then put his hand again to the till and took out a second Gd.
and placed it on the counter in front cf. Hart. Hart in his
hurry to take up the money dropped a Gd. c n the ground.
He (Ur Thomson) then told his other barman to get over
the counter and look for the 6d., and Hart refused to move.
He (Mr Thomson) then got over the counter, and having
pushed Hart away, his barman took a 6d. from under his
foot. He then asked Hart whether the 6d. was his, and he
said, "Well, if I have not got another 6d. in my pocket it
is mine, as I had only one." He then asked Hart to turn
out his pockets, and he did so, when he produced three
more sixpences and shillings and some coppers. He then
gave Hart into custody, and on afterwards speaking to Hats •
well, he said, if he gave the 61. it was a mistake. He
told Hatswell that it was not the first mistake by a good
many, and that he had long suspected him. Ho then asked
the prisoner what ho had in his boxes, and he said "about
£2." Oa calling in Sergeant Appleton, and searching the
prisoner's boxes, £4 3s. 2d. was found, and some tobacco
and cigars belonging to him (Mr Thomson). Ho then gave
Hatswell into custody.
In answer to Mr Child,,Mr Thomson sail that he never
saw Hart at his house till Hatswell came, that Hart visited
at his house three or four times a night, and alwa}s went
to the front where Hatswell served. The prisoner Hats-
well said he did not know Hart.

A barman, in Mr Thomson's employ, corroborated Mr.
Thomson,

Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, proved asking the prisoner
Hatsw ell whatLhe had in his boxes, and he said about £2,
but on searching it Xi 3s 2d was found, some tobacco and
cigars, and a quantity of letters signed "Eliza Hart," who,
on inquiring, notwithstanding the prisoners denied know-
ing each other, turned out to be the prisoner Hart's sister.

Austin, 188 C, said in taking Hart into custody he denied
knowing Hatswell.

Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial, and
refused Hart's application to be admitted to bail.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE HAYMARKET.—Wm.
Kime, described as a traveller, residing at 3, St. John's•
terrace, Brampton,' was charged beforo Mr Tyrwhitt with
disorderly conduct in the Haymarket.
From the evidence of police-constable, 316 A, it al
peared that about half-past one o'clock that morning ho saw
two prostitutes fighting in the Haymarket, a large crowd
of persons being collected at the time. The defendant came
up flourishing a stick, and told him to leave the women
alone. He told the defendant to go away, and he said he
would de as he liked, and then struck a gentleman's hat,
but the gentleman refused to prefer any charge. As the
defendant refused to go away, and caused a deal of confu-
sion, he was olAged to take him into custody.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s or 14 days, and said
he might be thankful the gentleman was not in attendance.

LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING.

With ground hard as adamant, and in clouds of dust
worthy of the Sahara, Lincoln inaugurates the steeplechase
season. The day's card was a poor one, comprising only five
events, of which the Autumn Handicap, the chief, brought
together but few starters. Of course, the sta'e of the
ground had a good deal to do with this comparative failure,
owners of horses being chary of pulling them out, with the
prospect of the Houghton week before them. Suburban
was made the favourite, despite his not being considered to
like " bard going." The old horse, however, pulling double
all the way, won without much trouble. Erin-go-Bragh,
who looked formidable at one time, retiring from the con-
test on entering the s'raight, and leaving the Count's horse
nothing to boat but a moderate trio.

The Selling Steeplechase also furnished a quintet ven-
turesome enough to brave the perils of a course resembling
a turnpike road and a brook innocent of wa'er. After divers
refusals and mishaps, the race was left to Cumberland and
Discrepancy, Mr Land's horse winning at last very easily.
The Hurdle Race was also an easy victory for Pigeon,
and brought a poor afternoon's spot to a conclusion.

The weather was fine, and the attendance anything but
numerous.

The Carholme Stakes of 5 "sous each, with 35 added, for
2-yr•olds ; colts, 8 t 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b, with certain

Betting-5 to 4 agst Godmersham, and 7 to 4 (at first
even) agst Goldylocks.
Godmersham in the inside made play, having Goldylocks
at his girth, the pair being followed by Cronstadt and
Coverdale. They ran thus to the distance, when the
former gave way, leaving Goldylocks in possession of a
clear lead, which she retained to the end, and won in a
canter by ten lengths. Nelly Gray, who headed the favourite
half way in the distance, finished second, a length in ad-
vance of Baron Mesnel's colt. The winner was bought in
for 90 guineas.

Moose got away with a slight lead, Sir Watkin going in
second, and Pixie next, the favourite and Erin-go-Bragh
lying some lengths in their rear. As they proceeded up the
hill Pixie headed Sir Watkin, and as they reached the lime
kilns he joined the leader, the pair racing for the lead to
the mile post. Here they were joined by Erin-go-Bragh
and Suburban, the lot running in close company into
the straight, where Erin-go-Bragh was beaten and became
last. The leaders retained their position to the distance,
where Moose was beaten, leav;ng Pixie in possession of the
lead, closely pressed by Sir Watkin and Suburban to half.

Betting-6 to 5 agst Cumberland, 3to 1 agst nincess,
and 4 to 1 agst Ballinasloe.
The favourite, with a clear lead, made play, followed by
Gambler, Ballinasloe, Discrepancy, end Princess in the
order we have given them, to the artificial water-jump in
front of the stand, which the leader cleared cleverly, but
Gambler, less fortunately, refused, and unhorsed his
rider, who was soon remounted, but again refused the
flight of hurdles on the common, and was left a long way
in the rear. Crossing the lane into the meadows, Cuta-
terland increased his lead, but on reaching the second
fence in the rear of the h ovel he blundered on landing,
and came on tie nose end knees, but was saved from
falling through the quickness of his rider, but the mis-
tall% lea him some lengths in the rear of Ballinasloe
and Discrepancy, Gambler going on fourth and Princess
next. The latter, however, was placed hors de combat
by falling at the same fence as the favourite, and was
afterwards persevered with. As they prec• eded across the
stubble in the rear of the brick-kilns, Ballinasloe
increased his lead to upwards of twenty lengths, but
going on the wrong side of the turning lag he had
to return, end was in consequence out of the race.
This mishap gave a clear lc :d to Discrepancy, who
came on with the running, f Mowed by Cumberland to
the fence into the winning fidd, which the former cleared
a couple of lengths in advance, but on reaching the flight
of hurdles beyond Cumberland cleared them first, and came
on with a decided lead, which he retained to the end, end
won easily by thr:e lengths. The others, who repeatedly
refused, were pulled up some distance from home. The
winner was bought in fir 70 guineas.

The Handicap Hurdle Rac9, of 5 soya each, with 40 added,

post, where the lot got upon close terms, and ran in com-
pany to the 'l'. Y, C. post, where the favourite, who had
hitherto lain off, came through his horses and took a decided
lead, which he held to the end, and won, pulling double,
by six lengths; a like distance separated the second and
third.
