POLICE.

MARLBOUOUGK-STREET.—A Porter in the employ
of
.114 r., Roberts,_of the Horse Inn, Fe:ter-
lane, was, yesterdiy charged at this Off-lee, by Lord
Kinnoul, with extortion, in, obtaining 13d. more
than his regular f'are, for a basket of game. It ap:-
peared that Lord Kinpoul bad often reUived pack-
ages, &c. from -Dundee,. in Scotland, similar to. the
present one, which, came from thence, and conse-
quently he deteetd Me ituposition. The porter was
by some means in possession of an extortionate
'ticket, and he was fined in
.the penalty of 40s.
Another charge of a similar
,nature was also made
againSt another porter, Who was also fined.
A respectable young man. underwent a second
cxaminationt for forgery, at this office, on Satur-
day; but the case is of a nature Which in the present
stage of the.business it would be improper.to.make
public. The prisoner was again. remanded.

MANSION-HOUSE.—On Saturday two men were
charged before the LORD MAYORe on suspi,:iim of
being concerned with others in committing depre-
dations at a fire which broke out on Saturday in
Coleman-street. The only ground of suspicion was,
that of their having .been seen lurking about the
place, and calling out and. making signs to others.
One of them appeliring to be a working gardener in
the Kent-road, and receiving a very good character,
was discharged, as was also the other.

UNION-FIALL.-Audacious Robbery.—The neigh-
bourhood of Pratt-street, in Lanabeth, has lately
been touch infested by thieves of various descriptions.
On Tuesday evening last a whole wash of linen was
carried off from the garden of one of the houses ;
few days before another house was stripped .of its
.lead ; and several attempts at breaking open doors
and windows have been fortunately defeated. .
On Saturday morning 441:,;tam Gullivan and
Ann Neale were brought before the Sitting Magi-
strate, at Union-hall, charged with having on the
preceding evening taken from the house of Mr.
Chamberlain, No. 7, Pratt-street, a table and two
chairs, his property.
A Gentleman of the name of Watts, who own.
pies Mr. Chamberlain's first floor, deposed, that on
Friday evening, about eight o'clock, Mrs. Cham-
berlain entered his dining-room in great'alarrn, and
told him that, in the absence of her husband,, she
and the rest of the family being In,the kitchen be
low, the front parlour had jtvt been robbed of a tam
ble and two chairs, by some thieves who had ob-
tained admission at the street door, which they iiad
lett wide open. After having searched the house,
lest any one should .have concealed himself for the
purpose of committing further depredations, Mr.
Watts conceiving that the depredators, whoever they
might be, would make the beet of their way with
their booty to London, set off for Westminster-
bridge, in the hope of intercepting them there.
—By good fortune, he went by the water side,
and as he was running along the Bishop's-walk,
he observed two women, who were endeavour-
ing to conceal some things which they had placed
on the ground near the wail. On examina-
tion these proved to be the identical articles stolen.
The women were of course immediately secured, and
lodged in Lambeth Watch-house.
John Newell, a young man who chanced to be
passing at the time, confirmed that part of the
above statement which regarded the apprehension
of the women with the property.
The women made no defence. They were com-
mitted, and ordered to be brought up again on '
Tuesday, in order to afford an opportunity for the
servant-maid of the house to attend, and give her
evidence with respeet to the state of security in
which she had left the street door before the rob-
bery took place. It is supposed that the *omen
have wale accomplices. The Magistrates gave di-
reetions that they should be confined separately,
with a view to ascertain that fad. What renders
the oransadion a most bare-faced and impudent
one is, that it was a very fine moonlight evening,
and the street was full of people.

Bow-STREET.—On Friday evening Mr. Fletcher,
who, as we stated a.few days since, nad sent a chal7
lenge to fight a duel with Sir John Lowther John-
son, and had declined giving bail, was brought up
from Tothill-fields -13.ridewell. Two of his friends
voluntarily came forward to bail him, and.entered
into a recognizance of 2501. each for Mr. Fletcher
to keep the peace for twelve months, and at the ex-
piration of that time to appear at the following Quar-
ter Sessions for the County of Middlesex, to answer
what should be objeEted-to him. Mr. Fletcher
,en-
tered into a recognizance of soot. upon the same
conditions.

A most unfortunate affray took place in Greenock,
on Wednesday night, which resulted in the death of
Donald APlntyre, late hostler at the Tontine Inn,
there, an obliging, inoffensive, and worthy charac-
ter, who has left a wife and three children. He
was just able, from the loss of blood, to reach his
own house, became immediately insensible, and died
in half an hour. Four young men are in custody
charged with having been actors or accomplices.

A young woman, with an infant child, two
months old, at hey breast, was found dead on Satur-
day morning early, at Or corner of a bye-lane lead-
ing from Edgeware to. Beaconsfield, and is supposed
to have died from fatigue and hunger. The infant„
which was alive, and excited the alarm which led to
the discovery of its situation, was conveyed to a
'neighbouring house by Ascot, a waggoner, who
found ii, and is likely to do well. The unfortunate
young woman resided in respectable service in Ba-
ker-street in August last, and weikt to Dunson, in
Oxfordshire, her home, to be delivered of her child,
but she had been since begging about the country.
