POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—SamueI Smith, the proprietor of
one of the pleasure-boats which ply every Sunday on
the Grand Junction Canal Paddington, was charged with
selling beer and spirits without a licence.
Two officers of excise proved being served with beer
and gin in the defendant's boat.
Mr. Henry said it was a great hardship upon licensed
victuallers to be compelled to close their houses all Sun-
day morning, while men like the defendant were doing
an extensive trade in beer and spirits.

Fine 101. and costs.

The charge against William Avis, for falsely register-
ing the death of Diana Tees, whom he had represented
as his wife, was appointed for further hearing at eleven
o'clock, having been remanded from Saturday last. His
worship was informed, however, that owing to the sug-
gestions made by the Court at the last examination, and
the conduct of Tees (the husband) throughout the mat-
ter, the Attorney-General had advised the withdrawal
of the prosecution.
The summons was accordingly dismissed.

MANSION-HOUSE.—James Saville, a person in the
employment of Moses, Levy, and Co., of Aldgate, out-
fitters, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the cus-
tody of Monger, the officer, charged with having robbed
the firm.

Brewer, the foreman to the prosecutors, said—The
prisoner has been employed as cutter since April last, at
6s. a day for five days in the week. In consequence of
gross irregularities in his accounts, I suspected his in-
tegrity, and mentioned my suspicions to Mr. Levy, who
called him as he was leaving the shop yesterday, and
questioned him. The prisoner declared that he had never
carried an inch of stuff off the" premises, and that he had
no objection to be searched at that moment. He then
turned out of his pockets some things that belonged to
him, but Mr. Levy asked him whether he had not some-
thing else about him, and pulled out of one of his coat
pockets some pieces of linen which belonged to the firm.
He immediately said that the pieces of linen must have
been put in his pocket out of a lark. The police officer
arrived, and taking off the prisoner's hat, found concealed
in the lining as much black cloth as would make two
waistcoats.

that, as he was in the habit of carrying a bottle of ale in
his 13ocket, he did not perceive any change in the weight.
The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to say anything now ?
The Prisoner—lt is all true • and I wish to make no
' observation, further than that I am a tailor, and that I
work at home on Saturdays.
The Lord Mayor—I shall, in every case of this kind,
send the accused to the Central Criminal Court ; and I
shall do everything in my power to stop the robberies
committed by 'servants.
Committed for trial.
