POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—CharIes Jones,
clerk and collector to Messrs. Deeds, wholesale leather
sellers, of New Oxford-street, was brought up on remand,
charged with embezzling various sums of money, the pro.
perty of his employers.
The prisoner, it will be recollected, had been in the
service of the firm mentioned for about a year, and his duty
was to collect money due to the firm in the usual manner.
On the sth of September the prisoner was paid £4, and £6
3s. 6d. on account of his employers, and no entry of the
sums was ever made in the proper books.
On this case he was committed for trial.

Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, said he
had now to prefer another charge against the prisoner, viz.,
of robbing a former employer, Mr. Doumaril, of 14, Thavies
Inn. He had, since the prisoner had been in custody, made
certain inquiries, and from information he had received he
had discovered property to the amount of £2O or £3O, which
had been identified by Mr. Doumaril as his property. It
consisted of boots, shoes, Sce. The prisoner had been en-
gaged by that gentleman also in the capacity of traveller,
He (Sergeant Lambert) had to ask for a remand in this
case.

The application was granted, and the prisoner was ordered
to be brought up again this day week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—John Campbel'
was charged before Mr. Knox, with stealing at the Thir
teen Cantons, King•street, Soho, St. Ann's, a coat, pocket.
book, and other articles of the value of £3, the property ol
Mr. Henry Hailey, licensed victualler.

Mr. Hailey said that about 12 o'clock on the night of the
Ist July, he took off his coat, in the pocket of which was his
pocket-book and other articles and left them in the bar.
Shortly after he missed the articles.

Susan Smith, of 22,Compton-street, deposed to seeing the
prisoner leave Mr. Hailey's house on the night of the Ist
of July with a coat under his arm.

William Clayey, 55 F, said he was present at the court
on the 10th Sept., when the prisoner was convicted of
felony, and sentenced to a month's imprisonment.
Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial.
THE BUSINESS or THE COURT.—Owing to the admirable
arrangements commenced and carried out by Mr. Knox of
beginning the business of the court at 10 o'clock every
morning, the night charges are now disposed of much
earlier than they used to be, and persons having to attend
the court, whether as applicants, prosecutors, complainants,
or witnesses, are not kept waiting on about the court un-
necessarily. To the members of the police force it is a
great boon, as those who have been on night duty are
enabled to reach their homes much earlier; and not the
least of the advantages of the present punctuality of com-
mencing the proceedings is the fact that the pavement in
front of the court is not occupied half the day by a crowd of
persons anxious to hear the fate of their friends or acquaint-
ances.
