POLICE INTELLIGENCE

--This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ROAMING OP MESSRS. ROUTLEDGE.—Two men named
Banks and Lacy, were placed at the bar charged with
stealing seven books, the property of Messrs. Routledge.
The property stolen consisted of some copies of two works
entitled, " Our Garden Friends and Foes" and Grant's
"Rob Roy." The books were seen in the shop window of
Mr. Holder, a bookseller of No. ,?,11, Strand, by
Mr. Routledge, and that gentleman feeling cer-
tain the books had been surreptitiously taken from
his premises, spoke to the shopkeeper, and the explanations
not being sufficient he was given into custody, and charged
at Guildhall with the unlawful possession of the books.
Circumstances, however, led to the withdrawal of the
charges against Holder, and he was admitted as a witness
in the case, which was sent by the City magistrates to Bow-
street Police.court, as the offence was committed within the
jurisdiction of the court.
William Thomas Holder said he had for many years
carried on the business of a bookseller in the Strand. He
had on one or two occasions bought books of Banks, but
never imagined they were stolen. The seven books in
question he also bought of him, and he had previously
purchased of him two copies of Craig's Dictionary. The
books were brought to his shop by Lacy. who received the
money for them.
In cross-examination he said he had carried on business
in the Strand, and had known Banks for 12 years. He
would swear he had never had dealings with him as long as
12 months ago; hut it might be nine. He was charged at
Guildhall with receiving the books knowing them to be
stolen ; but the charge was withdrawn on his telling the

solicitor for the prosecution that he could point out the men

of whom he had purchased the books. He nevershid he
had bought the books of Mr. Vickers. He told Mr. Rout-

ledge he bought the books of Simpkin and Marshall. He
told the lie in this case because he was taken by surprise.
He could not say he told a lie to answer a certain purpose,
but because he was, as he had said, in the first instance,
taken by surprise, When Lacy brought the books, he said
he had brought them from Banks. Lacy said he was to
have 30$. He paid him a pound on the occasion, and ten
shillings the next day.
Mr. George Routledge, of No. 2, Farringdon-street, said
he knew the prisoner Banks by sight, and also Lacy by his
being in the service of Messrs. Hanbury, the bookbinders
who did work for his house. None of the books involved

in the present charge were band by that firm. He first issued
the copies of Grant's " Rob Roy" to the trade last Wednes-
day week. "The Garden Friends" have been published some
three or four weeks. On Saturday, the 10th of October, he
saw three copies of "Rob Roy" and the same number of
" Garden Friends" in the shop window of Mr. Holder. He
did not take any notice, but on Monday he communicated
with the police. He, however, before he spoke to the police,
went to the witness Holder's shop, and on that occasion he
saw four volumes of " Rob Roy," He spoke to Holder
on the subject, and afterwards he accompanied Jarvis, the
police officer, to his shop, where he gave him into custody
for the unlawful possession of the books. He was taken
to Guildhall Police Court but discharged, and as they
were coming down to this court on the 13th inst., Holder
pointed out Lacy, who was then in one of Messrs. Han-

bury's carts, opposite his (witness's) door, as the person oi
whom he had received the books. He had taken stock dur•

ing the last two days of the " Gardon lends," and he found
eight copies deficient, and of "Rob Roy" twenty copies
were missing. The books produced were his property, and
had been taken from his premises without his consent. The
value of them was £2 2s. 6d.

Police-constable Ackrill, of the F division, said on Tues.
day last he stopped the prisoner Banks in Clare-market
He saw him go into a public-house there, with a parcel,

and come out without it. When he asked him what he
had left, he said " nothing," but afterwards he admitted he
had left three books. He then took him into custody. The
books were 3 vols. entitled " Romola."

City police. constable Jarvis said—On Tuesday last he had
Holder in custody outside Messrs. Routledge's premises,
when he pointed out Lacy as the man who had brought
him the four " Rob Roy's." He was then in one of Han-

bury's carts. He told him the charge, when he said he
had received the books from a man in The Row, but that

he did not enter the name or address.

The prisoners were remanded for a week, bail being re
fused.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE REGENT-STREET BEGGING NUISANCE, ...A batch
of boys and girls were brought up charged with begging in
Regent-street, and annoying ladies leaving and entering
carriages.

Bunce, 78 C (a plain-clothes officer, and who is specially
employed for the purpose, owing to the many complaints
received from the shopkeepers an visitors to the street of
the nuisance) proved seeing the prisoners,with several other
boys and girls—about 13 altogether—begging of persons in
Regent-street, and he succeeded in taking the prisoners
into custody.
The prisoners were committed for a month each,

A tall powerful fellow, named George Johnson, was nex
charged with begging, the officer who took him into cus.
tody finding 3s. 6d. upon him.
He was also committed for a month,

It appears that as soon as a carriage draws up in front of
a shop in Regent-street, the occupants are beset by a crowd
of ragged boys and girls,mostly with brooms in their hands.
The boys and girls pretend that their purpose is to open the
carriage doors, but it is in reality to beg, and it is with diffi-
culty at that time that persons are enabled to reach the
shops or their carriages.

FUNERAL OF LORD LYNDHURST,

This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, the remains of
the venerable Lord Lyndhurst were removed from his man-
sion in George-street, Hanover-square, and deposited, with-
out ostentation and with very little ceremony, in a humble
grave in Highgate Cemetery. It was one of his lordship's
last requests that his funeral should be as simple as possible,
and his wish was rigidly adhered to.
Last night, at 12 o'clock, Lady Lyndhurst took a parting
look at her deceased husband in the presence of Dr. Thomas
Hawkesly, who attended him with the greatest care
throughout his lengthened illness, and at six o'clock this
morning the coffin was finally fastened down..
At nine o'clock the mourners and those who were to take
part in the funeral ceremony arrived in George-street
There were present Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Beckett, sons-in•
law of the deceased; Mr. Clarke, Mr. Barlow, and Mr,
Ogden, executors; Mr. Winslow, the Rev. Henry Howarth,
8.D,, rector of St. George's, Hanover-square ; Dr.
Hawkesly, the Earl of Ellenborough, Right Hon. Spencer
Walpole, M. P., and numerous other friends. Mr. Du Cane,
M.P., a son-in•law of Lord Lyndhurst, was prevented from
attending in consequence of severe indisposition.
The deceased was placed in a leaden coffin. The coffin
consisted. of oak, covered with black Genoa velvet, su-
periorly finished with gilt nails, massive gothic gilt
handles, each surmounted with a baron's coronet. On the
lid was a brass plate with this inscription :—John Singleton
Copley, Baron Lyndhurst, Privy Councillor, F.R.S., died
October 12, 1862, "in his 92d year." Above that was a
shield with his arms and crest engraved; the arms argent,
a cross, sable within a border, azure, charged with eight
escallops of the field ; supporters two eagles proper, col-
lared, or pendant the'refrom, an escutcheon argent charged
with a cross as in the arms—motto, " Ultra pergere."
The funeral procession consisted of four mutes centred
by a squire mounted with the plume, the hoarse, which was
not the old-fashioned box: carriage, but of an improved
character with open sides, drawn by four horses plumed
and draped; displaying open medallions and fringed with
silver, ;with a cornet on each side and at the end, the
coffin being partly visible and covered with a rich pauldron
of velvet. The hearse was followed by four mourning
coaches, drawn by two horses draped and plumed.
In the first carriage were Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Beckett, Mr.
Clarke, and Mr. Ogden. In the second were Mr. Wins-
low, the Rev. Henry Howarth, 8.D., and Dr. Hawkesly.
The third carriage contained the Earl of Ellenborough,
General Forrester, M.P., the Hon. Spencer H. Walpole,
M.P., and Mr. Barlow. In the fourth carriage were Mr.
Chandler, his lordship's house steward, Mr. Brown, and
Mr. Grist, confidential servants. Four private family car-
riages followed, and then came the carriages of His Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cam-
bridge, Lady Glengall, Lady Anne Beckett, and others of
the nobility and gentry who were personally acquainted
with the deceased lord.

Starting from George-street, which was well filled with
people anxious to witness the proceedings: the procession
moved along the south of Hanover-square, Regent-street,
Langhara-place, Portland-place, Park-crescent, Albany-
street, Park-street, and through Kentish-town to High-
gate-hill. On reaching the Cemetery the procession was
met by the Rev. Arthur Heber Scholefleld, M.A., of Trinity
College, Oxford, who commenced the solemn funeral ser-
vice appointed by the Church. On leaving the chapel the
body was deposited in a brick vault, and the remainder of
the service having been performed, the mourners returned
to town.

The funeral arrangements were under the direction of
Mr. Pike, of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, assisted by
Messrs, Garston, of Welbeck-street, who supplied all the
appointments. Everything was conducted with the utmost
decorum,
