POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—Thomas Bowditch, who had been
for several years employed as a clerk and messenger to
Mr. Farren, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with em-
bezzling money which had been entrusted to him for the
payment of newspaper advertisements.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Wm. Farren,
jun., that he had been in the habit of paying the pri-
soner a certain sum of money every Saturday, to defray
the costs of the advertisements of the theatre which were
to be inserted in the daily and weekly newspapers dur-
ing the following week. It was his duty to see to the
insertion of the advertisements, and to produce the re-
ceipts given to him from the various offices. His con-
stant neglect of this latter duty induced his employers
to suspect that he did not make all the payments as
required, and eventually he was discharged from his
situation. Mr. Farren subsequently received an intimation
from the proprietor of one of the weekly newspapers that,
for several months past, the usual advertisements relat-
ing to the Olympic Theatre had not been sent for
insertion. This complaint led to an inquiry at other
newspaper offices, and it was then ascertained that with
respect to two of the morning journals (the Chronicle
Herald), none of Mr. Farren's advertisements had been
received for insertion since the 18th of October last,
although (upon the testimony of Mr. Farren, jun.) it
was proved that the prisoner had instructions to take
them to each journal every week, and was paid the
amount charged for them in advance.
The prisoner, on being taken into custody, admitted
that he had appropriated some of the money, but was
willing to refund it, if an opportunity were given to him
of doing so.
One case was partially gone into, but, it being deemed
desirable to have further inquiries made, and to ascer-
tain, if possible, the full extent of the various embezzle-
ments committed, Mr. Henry suggested that the case
should be remanded for a few days.
Mr. Farren was anxious, for the sake of the prisoner's
family, to deal with him as leniently as possible, but
Mr. Henry said it was a very serious offence, and one
that could not be disposed of summarily.

MANSION-HOUSE.— John. Driscoll was charged
with having burglariously entered and robbed the dwel-
ling-house of Mr. James Blake, of No. 21, Aldgate
High-street, tobacconist.
Mr. Blake said—My premises were broken open early
on Saturday morning, the 27th of last month. I was in
bed, and was awakened at nearly half-past two o'clock
by the servant. I found, upon going down stairs, that
the till had been robbed of 11. Bs., the money which had
been left in it. I saw a hat on the leads of the house,
and sent my servant to fetch it in. The hat was bent
in at the crown, as if against the sash of a window in
the hurry to get out. (A hat was here produced.)
Sergeant Jackson, II division of the metropolitan
police, said—l know the prisoner, and was present
when, on the 13th of last month, he was taken into cus-
tody by another constable for breaking in co a house. A
hat was then found, which was supposed to be his, but
it was afterwards thought not to be his. When he was
taken into custody he had a hat on which, after looking
at, I marked inside in a peculiar manner. The hat now
produced is that hat which Iso marked. The mark
was, the moment I saw and examined the hat, identified
by me.

Mary Ann Colborn, of Crown-place, Aldgate High-
street,i aid—The moment I saw the_, prisoner I said to

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday an inquest was
held by the coroner for the borough of Manchester, on
the body of Martha Howarth, a doniestic servant, aged
19, who destroyed herself most determinedly on Monday
morning. Her mistress had been from home some weeks,
and her master left Manchester on Saturday evening,
on a visit to his wife, at Oldham, where she was stay-
ing. Before he went he noticed that the girl was in the
yard apparently very ill, and he asked her what was the
matter ? To which she replied, that she should be better
directly. He returned home on Monday morning, but
no one opening the door when lie knocked, he got a
man to enter the chamber window, and search for the
deceased, who was eventually found dead in the water
cistern. Her master deposed that he had noticed a low-
ness of spirits for about a fortnight, and he believed it
was caused by something about a young man. The un-
fortunate girl's mother was quite ignorant of any cause
for the fearful deed. The jury returned a verdict of
" Destroyed herself while in a state of insanity."
INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—The antiquary and the
admirer of church decoration will be much interested by
the curious and important discovery made during the
past week, in Exeter Cathedral, of a beautifully executed
fresco painting on the north wall, under the tower, just
above the monument of Sub-Dean Sylke's Chantry
Chapel. This interesting relic of a past age represents
the resurrection of our Saviour, and the colouring in
many parts is still vivid, considering the long period
which must have elapsed from the time it was first
from public gaze, and the various coatings of whitewash hid
it has since received.- It is quite a work onfdairiti,

"lii;;TCTIME.---Apphcation has been made for an
act of Parliament for power to incorporate a company to
denote time by the agency of electricity, and for the
supply of electrical time cloCkWQrk and machinery
throughout the country.

Mr. Blake, " That's the man." The prisoner at the
same time shook his head at me.

It was stated by two officers that the prisonar had
been twice convicted of felony.
Alderman Wire having, in the usual manner, asked
whether the prisoner wished to say anything.
Driscoll said all I have to say is that the hat produced
never belonged to me. He then carelessly shoved the
hat upon his head and said, "You see it don't."
Alderman Wire—l think it fits you very well.
Driscoll—Why, these police can make any hat fit a
man. (Laughter.)
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

WESTMINSTER.—AIfred Willis, a messenger at
the Home-office, residing at 4, Graham-street, Pimlico,
was charged with indecently assaulting Mary Martin,
the wife of a postman.
Complainant, a modest and genteel-looking young
woman, stated that at about half-past four on the pre-
vious afternoon, she was walking along Ebury-street,
Pimlico, and passed defendant, who was standing oppo-
site a public-house; almost directly afterwards she heard
footsteps, as of a person running after her, and quick-
ened her pace. On arriving about the centre of Eaton-
square, she felt the hand of some person behind her
suddenly thrust under her clothes, and turning round,
discovered it was the defendant who had committed the
outrage. She immediately said, "You beastly fellow,
take your hand off," upon which defendant put his hand
into his pocket and offered her money. She indignantly
refused it, when he held a stick up over his head and was
going to strike her, but two labouring men came up and
protected her.

Elijah Harris, one of the labourers alluded to, proved
that he was about 100 yards from St. Peter's Church,
when lie heard the cries of a female, and on going to the
spot found defendant near the complainant, with a stick
raised in his hand. Complainant immediately said that
he had grossly insulted her, and that she would give him
in charge. Defendant made a rush towards the palace,
but she declared she would follow him and give him into
custody, and a constable coming up, she did so. Com-
plainant also, at the time the witness and the other
labourer came up, in addition to complaining of a gross
insult, stated that defendant had offered her money.
Defendant, when called upon to reply, said the charge
against him was a tissue of falsehoods altogether.
Mr. Arnold observed that the case was too serious for
him to deal with summarily, and he, therefore, intended
to send it for trial.

Defendant said he did not deserve to be committed,
and wished to know whether the magistrate would take
bail for his appearance at the sessions.

Mr. Arnold consented to take two sureties in 1001.
each.
