POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPT TO ROB MESSRS HUNT AND ROSKELL
Thomas Johnson, a young man wearing a moustache, and
who refused his address, but described himself as a mason,
was charged befare Mr Tyrwhitt with being found on the
roof of the premises of Mc ssrs Hunt and Roskell, jewellers,
156, New Bond-stret, for the purpose of committing a
felony.

Mr Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, ap
peared for the prisoner.
William Mitchell, porter in the service of Messrs Hunt
and Itoakell, said—On Saturday evening, between 7 and 8
o'clock, I was informed that a man was on the roof of the
premises. I got assistance and proceeded to the roof, and
after searching about for some time saw a dark object, which
I at first thought WAS a dog, but afterwards found was the
prisoner, on his hands and knees, looking through the sky-
light on the leads of a showroom. As soon as the prisoner
saw me he rose up, and I then seized him by the collar and
took him down, and gave him into custody for trying to
rob the house. The prisoner said he intended no harm, and
that he was going farther on.

By Mr Lewis—lt was on the roof of one of the show
rooms. Tho prisoner did not deny he had been to see a
female on an adjoining house.

Mr T 3 rwhitt—Ara the premises apart from the house ?
Witness—They are, but there is access from one place to

the other.

Another person in Messrs Hunt and Roskell's employ
gave similar evidence.
Mr Tyrwhitt, addressing the last witness, said—lt is
pretty well known that you have valuable property in the
place, and why do you not have the top railed round so as
to prevent persons getting on the roof. You have means
enough to do so.
Inspector Silverton, C division—l- received the prisoner
in custody on Saturday evening, and on being told that he
had been found on the roof, I examined the place and found
he had entered from Barlow-mews, at least 100 yards dis-
tant—a girl, who was not then present, but would attend,
having seen him climbing. up by means of a water pipe in
the mews. Tha prisoner had left his hat on the parapet of
the wall where be just got up, and then proceeded some
hundreds of yards over roofs to get at the skylight, and I
traced marks from one place to the other. I also found an
adjoining window open. Oa asking the prisoner his name
he said it was Thomas Johnson, but he refused his address
I wish for a remand, as 1 shall be able to give more evidence
on a future occasion.
Mr Lewis—l do not know whether your worship con-
siders there ought to be another examination.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Considering the place whero the prisoner
was found, at a large jeweller's, I think some inquiries
should be made. I will therefore remand the prisoner till
Wednesday.
Mr Lewis—Will you take bail, sir.
Mr Tyrwhitt—l will not take bail at present.
