POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

N A icSION. HOUSE.

A case of an extraordinary description, and which ex-
cited a great deal of interest, came on yesterday before the
Loan MAYOR. Some days ago Mr. Jarrett, of the house
of Jarrett and Tadman, of Feuchurch-street, merchants,
appeared, attended by Mr. Dicas, the solicitor, before the
Loan MAYOR, and produced a placard, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy
‘. 501. Reward.—Whereas James Jarrett, of the firm of Jarrett
and Tadman, of No. 19, Fenchurch-street, and of No. 11, Gre-
nada-place, Old Kent-road, has absconded, with warrants on the
London Dock Company, for wines to a considerable amount, in-
trusted to his care. Whoever will give information to Mr.
Chorley, 31, Dowgate-hill, so that he may be apprehended, shall
on conviction receive the above reward. The said James Jarrett
is about Si) years of age, fair complexion, light eyes, above S feet
7 inches high, and rather inclined to be stout."

The solicitor for Mr. Jarrett, at the same time that lie
handed th►s placard to the Lofty MA7..-oa, stated, that his
client had sent notice to Mr. Chorley of his determination
to appear and answer to any charge that might be brought
against him ; and he now, after waiting in vain for several
hours, wished to show that he was perfectly justified in
holding the warrants with which the calumnious placard
accused him of absconding with. He also stated that no
warrant had been issued by Mr. Chorley on the occasion,
and that no officer had been employed to carry into effect
what the placard seemed to menace.
The LORD MAYOR expressed great surprise at the ex-
hibition of such a placard, but said that as no accusing
party appeared, he could not enter into the merits of the
question.

Next day Mr. Chorley appeared before his Lordship,
and said that the notice of Mr. Jarrett's intention to come
forward did not reach his office until after he had left town,
but he was glad to have an opportunity of being con-
fronted with that gentleman, and he requested that his
Lordship would be pleased to issue a summons for his at-
tendance.

The summons having been granted, Mr. Jarrett obeyed
it, and Mr. Chorley appeared to bring his charge. Mr.
Dicas appeared as solicitor to the defendant, and Mr. Nob-
ler, jun., as solicitor to Mr. Chorley.
Mr. Chorley statcd, that about three weeks ago, Mr.
Jarrett applied to him on the subject of bartering some
wines for a quantity of tin : witness had no objection,
and furnished him with a tasting order, and Mr. Jarrett
called on Thursday week, and said the whole was arranged,
and witness hsneled to him certain warrants fur the delivery
of the wines from the London-docks, upon the understand-
ing that the tin should he forthcoming or the warrants be
returned within an hour. By virtue of those warrants
the holder became absolute master of the wines as they were
endorsed. If the warrants were to be kept, transfer or-
ders for block tin and grain tin were to be substituted, but
witness never saw either one or the other since ; neither
did he ever see Mr. Jarrett from that moment until now.
The estimated amount of the tin with which he was to
have been supplied was 3391. The wine warrants
amounted to 2 4.2/.

Mr. Diens said it would be found that Mr. Chorley was
in debt to the firm some hundreds of pounds, and this
case of the wine-warrants was a continuation of their
commercial transactions. His client had the warrants, and
was ready to abide by the Lord Mayor's decision ; but he
wished, before lie should give them up, to obtain this
money due by Mr. Chorley to the firm.
Mr. Chorley declared that the firm, instead of being
his creditors, were indebted to him 901. ; but he put his
dealings with the firm out of the question. This was a
dealing with Mr. Jarrett alone.

Mr. Jarrett, in defence, had sent to Mr. Chorley some
time ago a parcel of goods amounting in value to 1,3701.,
and received from him cash to the amount of 696/. Thus
matters stood between them. He had done this business as
he had done all other business with Mr. Chorley, who had
never seen his partner, nor dealt with any one in the house
but himself. He was anxious to obtain the balance, in
consequence of the advice of his friends, or as much se-
curity as possible ; and he admitted that he had resorted
to the expedient to procure the warrants as senility for
his balance.

Alderman COPELAND, who had been sitting with the
Lord Mayor, on other business, looked over the account
produced by Mr. Jarrett, and stat,d, that it appeared from
that account that the goods alluded to had been sold by
Mr. Chorley, at a most tremendous loss to the defendant,
and that part of the sale had been made to Mr. Chorley
himself. It appeared to him that there was a regular run-
ning account between the parties.

Mr. Chorley declared that the whole transaction, upon
his part, was perfectly fair and honourable.
Alr. Hobler, jun., persisted i❑ the charge of fraudulent
dealing, and called

:WI White, who deposed as to the promise of Mr. Jar-
rett to return the warrants, or the transfer orders fur the
tin, in an hour, to Mr. Chorley ; and also stated that the
transactio❑ was between the two individuals, and nut re-
sembling any of their former dealings.
Mr. Jarrett declared that he considered himself per-
fectly justified in adopting such means as he had resorted
to fur the security of his property.
Mr. Hobler—Will your Lordship request the defendant
to restore the warrants ?

The LORD MAI-oft—No; I shall ban nothing to do
with the matter.

Mr. Dicas—We certainly shall not deliver up the war-
rants, but we shall bring an action against Mr. Chorley.
The parties then left the Justice-room.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Sinderby, the watch-maker at the corner of 13lue-
coat-buildings, Butcherhall-lane, attended before Mr. Al-
derman KEY, on a summons for keeping a ferocious dog
which had bitten Charles Richard, the son of Mr. Allsopp,
the furrier, in Creed-lane.

Mr. Sinderby said that he would willingly pay the sur-
geon's bill, and undertake to muzzle the dog for the future.
. The wound, which was of the .ize of a crown piece, and
had an angry appearance, was exhibited to the Magistrate.
Mr. Alderman KEY said he would, he hoped, keep his
promise as to confining the dog for the future.
_ _ _ .

Mr. Sinderby repeated his promise, and Mr. Al!sow-.
expressing himself satisfied, the parties retired.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a lad named John Hawke, was charged
upon suspicion of having been concerned in a burglary
which took place at the house of Mr. Nowington, glass
and china dealer, No. 320, High Holborn, on the night of
Wednesday last.
_ _

After evidence had been gone into, the prisoner was
then remanded until the evening.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday Frederick Benge, Esq., of No. 2, Upper
Eaton-street, Pimlico, appeared to a summons obtained
against him, before Sir. WHITE, the sitting Magistrate,
under the local Act of the Grosvenor-place district, for
suffering his dog to go at large after he had received notice
to confine the animal, whereby he had incurred a penalty
of any sum not exceeding 51.
Mr. Benge paid the fine, and retired.
Thomas Lloyd, of No. 25, Comthercial-road,
appeared to answer a similar complaint.
The defendant denied that he was the owner of the dog,
and therefore could not be liable to the penalty.
Mr. WurrE asked the defendant why he did not shut
his doors against the dog ?—" The dog will come in whe-
ther I shut the doors or not," replied the defendant; " he
won't be denied."

Mr. WHITE—Then why don't you destroy the dog?
Defendant—Me hang a dog ! I could not do such a thing.
Mr. WI-HIT—By not destroying the dog, you have in-
curred a penalty of Ti!.

Defendant—l can't pay 5/., or any thing like it; be-
sides, I won't own the dog ; I don't know who is his
master; let the beadle find him out, and make him pay it.
Mr. WHITE—Have you any goods or chattels ? De-
fendant—No, no ; I have no goon's; this is a pretty pre-
dicament I have got into. I'll go to the parish, I will
yes, yes, to the parish.
Mr. WHITE—Not yet? Defendant—Yes, lam deter-
mined to go to the parish.
Mr. WHITE—Before you go there, you must go for
fourteen days to the House of Correction for non-payment
of the fine.

The defendant was accordingly locked up, to his great
surprise.

UNION-HALL
The resurrection-men complain nightly of the decrease
in their trade, in consequence of the sharp 100k-out kept
by the policemen over all the burial-grounds in and around

•
the metropolis. Two men of this class, named
and Edwards, were apprehended in the act of going to
work, in St. John's church-yard, and brought before the
Magistrates. From the evidence it appeared that the pri-
linnets had scaled the walls of the burial-ground, and
were about to commence operations in digging the grave of
a female who had been interred there the preceding day.
The policemen, who had watched their motions for some
time, pounced upon, and secured them both, and in their
possession were found a shovel, an instrument for wrench-
ing open the lids of coffins, together with an apparatus of
ingenious construction, for dragging a body through a
small aperture without injuring the flesh, so that the ope-
rators might not complain, and give less price for it.
The prisoners said that if the police wanted to render
service to society at large, they would be much better en-
gaged in looking after thieves and housebreakers than ap-
prehending "respectable men, who lived by supplying the
faculty with subjects for dissection.".
The prisoners were ordered to find sureties.

Mr. CHAMBERS received a letter on the subject of IT
drophohia, of which the following is a copy

" Sir,—Having read a statement in the Tim ;s, in which you are
represented to have said at the surrey Sessions that a gentleman
of your acquaintance had been bitten by a rabid dog, and was
suffering, as might be expected, great mental anguish, I beg to
state, that I am in possession of an antidote capable of counter-
acting its consequences, if taken before the symptoms appear,
being a preparation from herbs only, and so innocent, that I give
it to my children as an anti-scorbutic, and alto frequently take it
myself. —I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
"S 4, Long-lane, Bermondsey. "JAS. HUDSON.
