POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

ANNOYING THE VISITORS TO THE HANOVER-SQUiRE
ROOMS, AND ASSAULTING A POLICE SERGEANT.—John
Scott, a rough•looking fellow, living in Church-lane, St.
Giles's, was charged as follows :
Sere ean t Richard Edwards, 2 C, said that on the previous
night, about 11 o'clock, he was on duty at the Concert for
Female Musicians, in Hanover-fquare Rooms, where the
prisoner caused a great deal of confusion by calling cabs
from the stand and carriages before they were wanted. He
told the prisoner to desist, but he refused, and struck him a
violent blow, saying, "You take that I"
t The manager of the Hanover-square Rooms was present,
and wished to make a statement.

Mr. Payne, the manager of the Hanover-square Rooms,
said that the conduct of the prisoner and his companions,
about a dozen in number, had become a great nuisance, the
visitors to the rooms being subject to having their pockets
picked and to hear the grossest blackguardism from them.
In consequence of their behaviour at times they had been
obliged to close one of the doors, so as to let the visitors out
at one place, that the assistance of the police might be more
concentrated, and a check somewhat put to the intolerable
nuisance of the fellows.

Mr. Knox committed the primer for a month.

ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND REFRESH-
MENT HOUSEKEEPERS.-A shabby looking woman who
gave the name of Anne Mitchel, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Selfe, charged with the following robberies :
Mrs. Jane Rushbrook of 37, Marsham-street, beer-
housekeei,er, said—Prisoner came into our house yesterday
afternoon and asked for half a pint of beer. The very
moment I went to the bar where the prisoner was standing
I missed a pint pot I had seen there just before, and asked
her for it, and she directly produced it from under her
shawl, and I mentioned my former losses.
Mr. Selfe—What were they ?

Prosecutrix—l had two pots taken yesterday, and this
woman had been into my house, another was stolen from
my house on Tuesday, and I lost one last week. When
this woman produced the pot from under her shawl I gave
her into custody. There was a quantity of metal such as
these pots are made of found in her room and all these cans
Prosecutrix pointed to a long string of publicans' cans
which the police had placed upon the court table.

A Policeman said he was called and took the prisoner
for stealing the pot, and then went to her address, where
he found the cans produced. It was clear that one had had
pewter melted in it.
Mr. Sleigh—What is she.
Witness—A married woman, separated from her husband.
Prisoner—l did it through distress.
Mr. Selfe—What was found upon her.
Policeman—Sevenpence halfpenny,
Mr. Selfe to prisoner—Distress did not make you have
all these publicans' cans in your possession, or steal that
pot with sevenpence in your pocket.

Prisoner—l took the cans to get water in.
Mr. Selfe—l fear you had them for another object.
You are committed to hard labour for three mcnths.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN. Charles
M 'earthy, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. Woolych,
charged with stealing two dozen silver-plated terrets, valued
at £3 65., the property of Mr. Charles Fillingham, a saddler
and harneesmaker in the Whitechapel-road.
The prosecutor has been very unsuccessful with his work-
men. Several have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to
various periods of imprisonment for robbing him. In
February last two of Mr. Fillingham's men were committed
from this court for stealing a large quantity of valuable
property belonging to Mr. Fillingham, who is known in the
trade to be one of the best and most generous of masters.
Yesterday afternoon a girl named Frances Ann Steele, in
the service of Mr. Fillingham, saw the prisoner creep into
the warehouse at the back of the shop where he bad
no right to be, and remove two parcels of terrets from a
shelf. Each parcel contained one dozen of terrets. The
girl informed her master of what she had seen, and he went
in search of the prisoner, who was about to leave the pre-
mises with the property in his possession. Mr, Fillingham
intercepted him, and he ran back into the warehouse, and
thence into an underground cellar. Mr. Fillingham heard
something fall and make ag clinking noise." He went
into the cellar, which the prisoner was leaving, and found
there a bundle fastened very roughly with a thong. It
contained two parcels of silver plated ferrets.
In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that
no goods for sale or any other new goods meuufactured
in bis trade were ever deposited in his cellar. He
was certain the brown paper packages of terreir were
on a shelf in the warehouse a few minutes before the pri-
soner entered it. The piece of white thong had seen taken
from an upper floor. The prisoner had been in his ettploy
eleven and a-half years, and received regular wages of 225.
every week. He lent the prisoner £2 a fortnight ago be-
cause he wanted money to purchase some necessaries for a
sick child.
The prisoner set up a curious defence. A child of his
was lying dead. He wanted money to pay the expenses of
the funeral, and he took the two handles of terrets, with the
intention of pawning them and redeeming them again as
soon as possible,
Mr. Woolrych said ho could sot believe the defence Ira
up. The prisoner was employed by a respectable trades-
man, in receipt of regular wages, and had committed a
serious robbery involving a gross breach of confidence. The
defence that the prisoner had some misfortune, that his
child was lying dead, and that he was labouring tinder
great anxiety, could not be admitted as an excuse or pr!lia-
tion of crime. Every man was labouring under some
anxiety, and all had to struggle in the world. He com-
mitted the prisoner for trial.

NICKNAMES !—Sir Bulwer Lytton, in one of his
novels embodies in words a reflection which has
occurred to everybody in his experience of life. Whatever
be the canoe, a " Jack" has little chance against a" John"
in the race for fortune, although ho may stand high in the
estimation of his friends as au amiable, or even as an excel-
lent man. Great men and good soldiers have had sobriquets
to be sure, such as the nickname of " Le petit Caporal" for
Napoleon, or the prefix of " Stonewall" to identify the
Southern fulinen belli from a host of namesakes. But when
a man becomes a " Joe," as Hooker, or an " Old Abe," as
President, or " Bill," or " Shiney William," as Mr. Seward,
he may he looked upon as marked out for an inferior place
in the world. We hear in the Southern papers of " Presi-
dent Davis" and General Lee—in the .northern of " Old
Abe" and "Fighting Joe." Americans on both sides are
fond of nicknames, but the difference here is significant.—
