BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

These markets continue to be moderately supplied with
home-grown potatoes. The supply of foreign produce on
sale, however, is small, the importe last week from all quar •
ters being confined to 108 bags. For good and prime sam-
ples there is a ready sale at very full prices, and inferior
produce fully supports previous quotations.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day.

MARLBOROUGLI-STREET.

WHOLESALE RECEIVING OF STOLEN PROPERTY BY A
" DOLLY SHOP" KEEPER.—ROBBERIES FROM RAILWAY
VANS.—John Pickett, the keeper of a " dolly" or leaving
shop in New-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr
Tyrwhitt with having in his possession a large quantity of
valuable property believed to be stolen,

About a cart load of property was produced in Court,
consisting of wearing apparel, &3.
Mr Henry Swan, of Knight Rider-street, Doctors Corn•
mons, attended on the part of Messrs. Boxendale, carrying
on business under the style of Pickford and Co., the exten-
sive carriers, and Mr Wontner appeared for the prisoner.

Mr Swan, in opening the case, said that for some time
past Messrs Pickford had been seriously robbed of goods in
transit from the country to London and from railway vans,
and had had to pay something like £2OO a month for pro-
perty missing. They had endeavoured to trace the matter,
but without success, till Saturday night, when Sergeant
Cole, of the C division, succeeded in tracirg some of it to
be in possession of the prisoner, and found that he had sold
three cloaks, one a seal skin, of the value of £2I, which
would be produced and identified.

Mr Swan then call3d Sergeant Coles, 23 C, who deposed—
On Saturday night I met the prisoner in Golden-square. I
told him I should apprehend him for receiving a black-skin
cloak, a quantity of umbrellas, and other articles. The
prisoner made no reply, and I handed him over to a con-
stable, who took him to the station. I then proceeded to
14, New-street, Golden-square, ivhere the prisoner keeps a
"dolly" or "leaving" shop, and then commenced searching
the place, when I found a large quantity of property in
various parts of the shop and parlour, consisting of clothing
all new concealed in a bag under the bed, 11 pairs of new
boots, 33 yards of sage, 21 new books in a parcel under the
drawers, some coats, and some other articles. I found a
seal skin cloak and two other cloaks at the house of a Mrs
Foley, who said she had purchased them of the prisoner,
and sold them again. Mrs Foley keeps a wardrobe shop.
By Mr Wontner—l took most of the property I suspected
of being stolen. The prisoner used to be a conductor of an
omnibus. I also took £2O 13s Gd from the prisoner. I
found a number of articles in the window. Ido not sus-
pect some of the things to have been stolen, but I know
they have beea.

Henry Skilliter, in the employ of Messrs PickfOrd and
•Co.—l produce a list of goods entrusted to Messrs Pick-
ford and Co., amongst them a sealskin cloak, produced, of
the value of £2l; a second cloak, value £3; a black cloth
jacket, braided, vt.lue LI ; and a piece of no A, blue fl tnnel.
The property was received on the 24th of October, and
shortly after missed. _ _ _

Mr Swan handed the witness a ring, and the witness
said—That is one of the rings stolen. It has engraved in-
side of it " You are one of might." _ ... . .

Mr Swan—l hive now proved thatthe things have been
stolen from Messrs Pickford and found in the prisoner's
possession, and will therefore ask for a remand.

Mr Tyrwhitt asked if Mrs Foley was present.
Mrs Foley, of Little Pulteney.street. said—l keep a
wardrobe shop. I purchased the three cloaks produced of
the prisoner en the 28th of October. The parcel was left
with a card of the prisoner attached to it. The prisoner
aftel:wards oalled and said, on my telling him that he had
not left the price, that he wanted £lO for the three cloaks.
I told him to call again, and I at first offered him £7, which
he said he could not take, and that he wanted £9, but he
afterwards took £3, and gave me a bill for them on my pay-
ing him. There is no date to the bill, but I remember it
was on the 28th October.

Mr Swan—That is all the evidence I propose to call to-
day.

By Mr Wontner—l had the seal shin cloak lined and
cleaned since. I thought I gave a fair prico for it.
The prisoner was then remanded.

placed at the bar, charged with burglariouslY
breaking and

yesterday morning he was in white Lion-street, Chelsea,

about, and watched them. lie concealed himself behind a
wall and then lost sight of the men. The constable on the
beat shortly afterwards returning from the station was
coming down the middle of the road, when a man whistled,
evidently to give somebody a warning, when the prisoners
all suddenly rushed out of Queen's-road East. They ran
in the direction of the College, pursued by witness and an-
other constable, calling " Stop thief," and, finding a man
in front of them, they turned back and were taken in
charge.

as he approached, and saw the prisoners turn out of 3,

Queen's road East, the shutter bars were found to be sprung,
and there were two pieces cut out of the shutters.

h
that it was a ciffee-house. He retired to bed early himself,
tbuatt theou place was perfectly secure when he retired. He
was awoke in the morning, and found the prisoners had
been in.there. . _

stolen, as prisoners were evidently disturbed.

taken by mistake.

labour in the House of Correction.
