POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON- GARDEN.

Yesterday James Massey, alias Ingram, and Charlotte
Mills were re-examined before Mr. Rogers, on various
charges of burglary. Since the last examination, George
Collier, G division, has been pursuing active inquiries to
trace other burglaries committed by the prisoner Massey,
and he succeeded in discovering no less than between
twenty and thirty instances in which he had broken into
the houses of gentlemen in the neighbourhoods of Ux-
bridge, Kent, &c., and plundered the premises of plate,
jewellery, wearing apparel, and other property, which has
been identified within the last week by the individuals
robbed, at the station-house in George-street, St. Giles's,
where considerable property is still remaining for the pur-
pose of identity.
The female prisoner, who was attired in a black silk dress
and Leghorn bonnet, was supported into the room, and
seemed much affected, and she was allowed a chair. Massey,
who is a masculine, determined-looking fellow, stood erect,
with the greatest hardihood, and treated the proceedings
with a degree of nonchalance, and occasionally smiled whilst
the witnesses were describing the manner in which the
houses had been entered.

The first charge entered into was that of the Rev Mr.
Longland, of Charlton, Kent, whose house wis entered, and
plundered of plate and other property to a considerable
amount, on the night of the 25th of February. In con-
sequence of the report of the last examination in the news-
papers the parties attended, and identified tue property,
which was seized at the prisoner's lodgings by Collier.
They were fully committed on this charge.
Mr. Munro, of Hayes, Middlesex, indentified property
produced, and proved that on the night of the 26th or
27th of February his house .was entered through similar
means, and robbed of considerable property.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Trayloe, of Hanvrell ; Captain
Ray and Mrs. Haggart, of Blackheath ; Mr. Chapman, of
Woolwich ; Mr. Cockburn, of Charlton, Kent, and several
others, made similar charges, and identified property found
upon and traced to the prisoners' possession, as having
pledged it, and they were fully committed upon the whole
of the charges.
Mr. Wooller, for the prisoners, advised them to reserve
their defence.

During the examination the female prisoner was in
strong convulsions, and it was found necessary to resort to
restoratives, in order to bring her to. She was quite lost
to the whole of the proceeding, and was ultimately sup-
ported from the room in a very delicate state to the lock-
up place by Sergeants Isaacs and Collier. It is stated that
she is connected with a respectable family, of which her
appearance, manners, and conversation are indicative ; but
that she was formerly seduced by a common soldier, with
whom she cohabited, and, after leaving him,. she ultimately
formed a connection with the prisoner Massey, with whom
she had been living during the last sixteen or seventean
months. The circumstances involving her in the charge
are her intimacy with the prisoner, and some of the pro-
perty being found in her possession. Massey, who is a
well-known character, and a returned transport, has car-
ried on his system of plunder for a considerable period of
time with impunity : and there is no doubt but he is con-
nected with a daring gang, and the officers are using every
effort to trace them.
