POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r.
EXPOSING INDECENT PRINTS FOR SALE.—Francis
Carroll, a young man in the employ of Mr. Brown, stove-
maker, of Cranbourn-street, Loicester-square, and who gave
the address 12, Archer-street, Windmill-street, was charged
before Mr. Yardley, by Sergeant Langley, of the Detective
Department, z_cotland-yard, with exposing indecent and
obscene prints for sale in the Haymarket.
Sergeant Langley said that while at the corner of St.
James's-court, Haymarket, the prisoner came up to him
and said, " I have got something cheap for you, for a shil-
ling," at the same time handing him a printed paper, which
after he had read a few words, be found. to be of a most dis-
gusting and obscene nature. The prisoner then left him
and went into the shop of a tradesman, and on following
him in he heard him ask the tradesman to buy the print.
The tradesman refused to do so, and he then told the pri-
soner thw he was a police officer, and that he should take
hiie into custody. On asking him whether he had any
n-pc of the prints about him, he said he had not, but on
searching him he sound in his pocket four other prints of a
similar d scription. At the station the prisoner said a friend
had given them to him to sell, but he would not say who
the friend was

Prisoner (snivelling) said be had been in the navy, and
had now got a souatton in Cranbourn-street. He would
rather pay a mouth's salary than be sent to prison, as he
had no idea it was a criminal offence.

One of the prints was handed to Mr. Yardley, and it was
of the most obscene description.
Mr, Yardley having made some strong remarks on the
prisoner's conduct in hawking about such disgusting prints,
fined him 405., or 14 days in the Hou:e of Correction.
The prisoner thanked the magistrate for fining him, and
seemed much pleased at escaping imprisonment.
Barns, the gaoler, shortly after informed Mr, Yardley
that the flue had been paid by a person against whom he
had applied to the magistrate at the court some months
ago tor improper conduct to children.
NON-PAYMENT OF A PIKE REWARD. -Mr. Joseph
Oliveira, of 22, Hanover-square, was summoned by Mr.
Ge3rge Badderly, assistant overseer .of St. George's,
Hanover-square, for neglecting to pay a fire reward
to Stephenson Martin, Edward Goodchild, and James
Bridge, engine keepers.
It appears that on the 18th of June flames were seen issu-
ing from the chimney pots of the defendant's house, and
an alarm being given, Martin and Goodchild, of the King-
street station attended, when Mr. Oliveira refused to admit
the firemen. A gentlenum living at the next door, how-
ever, requested the firemen to come on to the roof of his
house, fearing that it would become ignited, and the fire-
men cl.d so, when Mr. Oliveira, who was on the top of his
house, again refused t,) admit the firemen.
Tbe case came on on a firmer day, and was heard in Mr.
Oliveira's absence, but in consequence of his representing
to the magistrate that he had been in the waiting room of
the court, and never heard his name called, it was ordered
to be reheard. Mr. Oliveira did not now attend, but sent
his wife.

After the case had been gone into again the magistrate
ordered the reward and costs to be paid, stating that a good
deal of trouble had been given in the matter, the summons
having been reheard in consequence of a statement made to
him which ho was bound to state he did not altogether
believe.
