POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE NEW POLICE AST V. THE BILL STICKERS.—. George
Averell was brought before Mr. LONG, the presiding
Magistrate, on the following charge. Police Constable,
No. 133 C, stated that he took the defendant into custody
at three on Monday morning, seeing him in the act of
sticking a printed bill against some scaffold hoarding in
front of one of the Club-houses in Pall-mall. The police
have received orders to apprehend all persons so offending.
The hoarding belonged to Messrs. Grissell and Pcto, the
builders.

The MAGISTRATE, believing the defendant had acted
through ignorance, said he should not inflict any fine on
the present occasion.
The defendant left the office with a number of his fra-
ternity very much chop-fallen.
A Mr. Charles Lather, a respectable tradesman, re-
siding at No. 56, Poland-street, Oxford-street, was fined
si. for refusing to pass on in the Quadrant, when directed
to do so by a policeman.

The co;stabie stated that the conduct of the defendant
caused a number of boys to assemble and obstruct the
foutway.

The defendant said he was only speaking to two of his
brothers. He paid the fine, strongly protesting against its
injustice.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Jr. Robinson, an Inspector of the G division, made an
application to Mr. Grove, the sitting magistrate, upon the
subject of a serious infringement of the clause in the New
Police Act, prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquors before
the hour of one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. It had come
to his knowledge that the law was extensively and succes-
fully evaded in the district by private individuals, who were
in the habit of secretly supplying liquor to the dram-drink-
ing part of the community. The surreptitious trade was
carried on both in private houses and the public streets,
and it was not only of manifest injury to the legitimate
trader, but it rendered nugatory the salutary effects of the
law upon the morals and conduct of the lower orders. He
begged, therefore, to be informed of the proper course to
pursue to effect its suppression.
A sergeant who was in attendance said he had been
informed that one of the gentry in question disposed of no
less than five gallons of gin in the course of one morning.
Mr. GROVE told the inspector that he had better com-
municate the circumstance to the Excise authorities, who
would no doubt adopt prompt measures to put a stop to the
illicit traffic.
