POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CAUTION TO LICENSED YTCTUALLERS.—Mr. John
Wakeling, landlord of the One Tun public-house, Arundel-
court, Haymarket, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer
the complaint of Inspector John Wilson, of having wilfully
and knowingly permitted drunkenness and other disorderly
conduct in his house.

The case was proved by Inspector John Silverton, who
visited the defendant's house at 5 o'clock in the morning,
and saw seven or eight drunken persons present, and one of
them, on leaving the house, behaved in a moat turbulent
manner.

Mr. Knox asked the inspector whether defendant had
been previously convicted, and was answered in the ne-
gative.

The defendant was then fined 20s. and costs.

WESTMINSTER.

BURGLARY BY A PREVIOUS SERVANT.—John Jones,
a young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold,
charged with burglarously breaking and entering the dwell-
ing-house of Mr. Cox, 34, Raphael-street, Knightsbridge,
and stealing therein a watch and chain and a quantity of
clothing.

Benjamin Brownjohn, who lodges at the house in question,
stated that on last Saturday night he went to bed at between
11 and 12 o'clock, and placed his watch and chain on the
drawers in his room. On awaking in the morning he found
it gene, as also his coat, waistcoat, and some other articles
of wearing apparel were gone, and also his purse, contain-
ing a small sum of money. A boy slept in the same room
as the prosecutor, but the things had all been taken with-
out either of them tieing aware of it.

Mr. Arnold asked how the prisoner had obtained access
,o the premise%

Charles Smith, a letective officer, 131 B, said prisoner had
been formerly in Mr. Cox's service, and therefore was inti-
mately acquainted with the locality of the premises. He
had recently absconded from his employment, and there
were charges which might be made against him. He
obtained access to the premises by the grating of the cellar,
through which the shutters are passed up, and which was
left unfastened. In order to prevent any sound escaping a
piece of handkerchief was found closed in with the iron-
work. On receiving information of the robbery, witness
felt satisfied that it had been committed by the prisoner,
and went in search of him. He found him last night in
the Brompton-road, and took him into custody, when he
denied that he was the person wanted, and that he had ever
been in Mr. Cox's employment. Witness then took him to
the station, and on searching him found a duplicate relating
to part of the stolen property.

A pawnbroker produced the coat and waistcoat, and
identified the prisoner as the person pawning it.
Mr. Cox said that prisoner left home on the 4th. The
area grating was unfastened.

Prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the charge, was
remanded.

THAMES.

VERY DRUNK AND VERY DISORDERLY.—JObiI Cortin
and Timothy Murphy, Irish labourers, were brought before
Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and
assaulting several omnibus conductors.
It appeared from the evidence of two pollee-constables of
the K division, named Knowles and Jackson, that last night
about half-past eleven o'clock they saw the prisoners roll
out of a public-house in the Commercial-road and hail an
omnibus that was passing. Both prisoners were intoxi-
cated, and the conductor of the omnibus refused to carry
them. They got upon the omnibus, and were pulled down
again. The prisoners said they had money, and
would ride to Blackwell. They made use of very
foul language, abused the conductor and threw
him to the ground. The passengers inside and
outside the omnibus insisted on the driver and
conductor of the omnibus not receiving the prisoners, and
they abused the passengers, applied the vilest epithets to-
wards them, and caused a mob of disorderly persons to
assemble. The omnibus at last proceeded on its journey,
and the prisoners were removed. About a quarter of an
hour afterwards another omnibus on its way to Blackwall
arrived opposite the George Tavern, and the prisoners
bailed the driver to stop, and attempted to get inside the
vehicle. The conductor would not allow them to ride, and
they repeated their misconduct and dragged the conductor
from the monkey board behind the omnibus. The prisoners
roared, swore and blasphemed most awfully, and said they
were ready to pay for a ride to Blackwall, and would have
one. The prisoners were removed a second time. A third
omnibus arrived after the lapse of 15 minutes, and another row
took place to the great annoyance of the passengers. The
omnibus was detained some time, the conductor was ill-used,
the prisoners seated themselves inside the vehicle and were
ejected, they threatened and abused driver, conductor, and
passengers, and, refusing to walk home, were taken into
custody.

Charles Roberts, an omnibus conductor, gave evidence in
confirmation.

The prisoners said they had not taken half a glass of in-
toxicating drinks since the 16th of January last, and denied
all that was alleged against them.

Mr. Partridge said the case was clearly made out. The
police had shows wonderful forbearance, and the conductors
of the omnibuses had done quite right in not allowing
drunken men to enter publio vehicles. He fined the pri-
soners 40s. each, and, in default of payment, 21 days' im-
prisonment.
