POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW STREET.—Although Mr. Hall, the chief
magistrate, and the officers of the Court were in attend-
ance at an unusually early hour, in the expectation of
an excessive number of charges, it is a remarkable fact
that for many ors there has not been so complete a
cessation of busings. There were but three or four
ordinary cases, which were disposed of either by the
infliction of a 5% fine, or by the • discharge of the
offenders.

THAMES.—Henry Pearce was charged with stealing
a horse and cart, and 74- quarters of oats.

Benjamin Avislott, said he was in the employ of Mr.
Charles Baker, a butcher, of Newgate-market, and that
day he was on her Majesty's service, in supplying the
cavalry regiments which took part in the Duke of Wel-
lington's funeral with oats. A. few minutes after one
o'clock, he drove his master's horse and cart into Leman-
street, Whitechapel, a feiv yards from the High-street.
The cart contained quarters of oats, for the use of
the troops from Ipswich, who were to return through
Whitechapel. He left the horse and cart in the street
while he went into the Red Lion public-house to obtain
some refreshment. He was absent about ten minutes,
and on his return he found the horse and cart were gone.
Soon afterwards he found the prisoner in custody.
Richard Shipman, a tripe-dresser, of High-street,
Whitechapel, stated that he saw the prisoner driving
Mr. Baker's horse and cart, containing the oats, at a
furious rate along the High-street, on the south side, he
came in violent collision with a meat gallows or rack, on
which there were a great many hooks for hanging meat
upon, and his further progress was stopped. Mr. Lan-
kester then came up, and detained the prisoner.
Mr. R. L. Lankester, meat salesman in the High-
street, Whitechapel, was .coming down Somerset-street
from Tower-hill, when he saw the prisoner drive against
the meat-rack on the roadway opposite his house. The
horse began kicking and plunging, and the prisoner got
so entangled with it, that he could not extricate himself.
He assisted the prisoner, and took the meat-rack away.
He asked the prisoner to pay for the damage done to
the meat-rack, which he refused to do, and was about to
drive off, when the witness collared him. Two men
came up and whispered into the prisoner's ears. This
excited his suspicions, and he said to the prisoner,• "You
are not one of Mr. Baker's men, for you have got a
white apron on." The prisoner made some excuse, and
said his master would pay for the damage. Witness
would not let him go, and said, " You have stolen that
horse and cart," and gave him into custody. The pri-
soner said a man had just given him shilling to drive the
horse and cart, but only 2d. was found upon him.
Mr. Ingham committed the prisoner for trial, and at
the request of Mr. Avislott, who said he wanted the
oats for her Majesty's troops, ordered them to be deli-
Vered to him.

UNSOPHISTICATED ELOQUENCE.—A countrywoman was
carrying on a very simple process against a neighbour in
one of the small courts of Germany. The attorney of the
opponent pestered her with so much of chicanery and
legal subtleties, that she lost all patience, and interrupted
him thus :—" My Lords, the case is simply this--I be-
spoke of my opponent, the carpet-maker, a carpet with
figures which were to be as handsome as my Lord the
Judge, and he wants now to force me to take one with
horrible caricatures, uglier even than his attorney. -Was
I not right in breaking off the bargain ?" The Court
laughed at the comparison, the attorney was stupified,
and the woman won her suit.
