POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Robert Gadsmark, aged 28, an assistant letter-
carrier in the Walworth district, was brought before
Mr. Jardine, charged, upon his own confession, with
stealing letters containing post-office orders.
Matthew Perke, the constable attached to the Ge-
neral Post-office, stated that the prisoner was formerly
a receiving-house keeper in the same district, but had
become reduced in circumstances. He had been lately
employed, in consideration of this fact, as an assistant
to the person who succeeded him at the receiving-office.
The prisoner gave himself into custody for stealing
two letters, one of which contained a
order, and the other a 2/. order.
The prisoner, who said nothing to the charges, was
remanded for further examination.

the appearance of labourers, were charged under the
following circumstances

and others are exempt on the production of a pass.
At half-past six on Monday night the defendants pre-
sented themselves at the toll-bsr and claimed their
right to exemption, alleging that they were at
work at the houses in the course of erection, but as
the toll collector (Giles) was confident that this was
a mere pretext to avoid the payment of the penny,
and as they were unprovided with the required pass,
he refused to admit it, whereupon
they seized him
roughly, forced him from the bar, and Smith struck
him three violent blows on the side of the head with
a large metal instrument somewhat resembling a pole-
axe, the effect of which was that his ear was much
lacerated and be bled profusely from the head.
Murphy, having lost his hat in scrambling over the
bar, charged a young man named Folbegg with
knowing where it was, and struck him. Police-con-
stable Church, 256 B, came up at the moment, and
the accused were given into custody.
Defendants, ie reply to the charge, said they con-
sidered they had it right to pass toll free.
Smith was held to bail, and the other admitted on
his own recogniatnces to answer the charge against
them at the sessions.
WORSHIP-STREET.
William Bagster, alias
,Wilson, alias Stephens,
alias Morris, a respectably-aressed, middle-aged man,
was placed at the bar upon the following charges :
The prisoner was first taken into custody by Ser-
geant Langdon, of the N division, who met him in
afeto few
nights since carrying a bulky sack,
contain the fragments of a large
wthheicshtre wasets
found
of coals, copper, which had been broken into pieces to be dis-
posed of as old metal, and, after lodeing him in the
station-house, the sergeant proceeded to the prisoner's
residence, in Mansfield-street, Kingsland-road, upon
entering which he discovered that all the property in
had been

re-
moval. The prisoner was at that time simply charged
with stealing the copper, which was identified by the
landlord of the house as his property, but he was sub-
sequently recognised as having practised a long-
continued series of frauds upon the secretaries of dif-
ferent loan societies and other persons, several of whiim
were now in attendance to prefer charges against him.
John Norris, secretary of a society called the Al-
bion, deposed that on the 23d of August last the
prisoner called at his office in Abbey-street, Bethnal-
green, and after stating his name to be Charles
Stephens, and describing himself as; in business as a
carpenter in the Hackney-road, applied for an ad-
vance of four guineas, and at the same time tendered
as surety for its repayment a Mr. William Pearson,
of Sherboru-cottages, Islington. Having ascertained
upon inquiry that both parties to the transaction re-
sided at the places described, and were persons of
apparent respectability, the amount required was paid
at once to the prisoner, but it was shortly after dis-
covered that both of them had given fictitious names,
and that both had also absconded about the same
time.
William Hudeburgb, secretary of another asso-
ciation of the same description in Pollard's-row,
Bethnal-green, also proved that on the 10th of the
same month as in the preceding case the prisoner had
obtained a sum of 31. 103. in the same name and
under almost identical circumstances to those just
detailed.
Sergeant Bruce stated that he should be able to
establish numerous other charges of a like description
against the prisoner, and it had also been ascertained
thet he had carried on au extensive system of frauds
upon tradesmen for a long time past, in the course of
which be had succeeded in obtaining a chronometer
and clock from a watchmaker in the Hackney-road,
to whom he gave the name and address of a Mr.
Morris, in Gifford-street, Hoxton, and from Messrs.
Smith and Co., of the New North-road, besides two
casks of ale from a brewer at Walworth, under the
fictitious name of Bagster.
Hayward, one of the warrant-officers, stated that
he had known the prisoner, whose real name was
William Wilson, for the laet twelve years, and that he
had been in custody some time since at this court,
on which occasion he was committed, convicted, and
sentenced to a lengthened term of imprisonment.
On being culled upon for his defence, the prisoner
at once admitted that he had received the several sums
referred to in the evidence of the witnesses, but con-
tended that n a false pretence whatever had been made
out, as he ha d in each inetance given his proper ad-
dress for the, time being,' and that the various persons
had been perfectly satisfied with the result of the in-
quiries they had thought proper to institute with re-
gard to h,m.
Mr. Ilaseeetee, however, said the prisoner would
probably find that he had adopted rather an erro-
neous view of the law relating to such cases, arid he
should there fore commit him until that day week, to
afford tine) for the production of still Those charges
