POLICE IMELLIGENCE.—Sept. 11.

MANSION HOUSE.—Joseph Rudkin, who was
charged a few days back with embezzling various
sums of money belonging to his employers, Messrs.
Peck and Co,, 20, Eastcheap, tea merchants, was
again placed at the bar for final examination.
Mr. Lawrence, of the firm of Lawrence, Smith,
and Ford, attended for the prosecution.
The particulars of the last examination have
already appeared. The prisoner was in the service
of the prosecutors as clerk and traveller, and it was
his duty to receive orders and to collect moneys,
and account for what he received to the cashier
daily. On the last occasion it was proved that the
prisoner had received on the 10th July £2 19s. lid.,
Bth August £5 135., and 3d September £3 13s. 11d.,
from a customer f the firm named North, who
carries on the business of a grocer in the Hampstead-
road, and yesterday Mr. Lawrence said that he
should prove two cr three other cases against the
prisoner which he thought would be sufficient for
the prosecution, although it was feared that the
prisoner's defalcations amounted to nearly £4OO.
It was then proved that on the Ist August, Mr.
Belcher, of Camden-town, paid the prisoner £2O,
on the 22d August £25, and on 27th August £25,
on account of Messrs. Peck and Co.
Mr. Denman, grocer, Camden-town, proved the
payment to the prisoner of £l4 14s. 6d. on 31st
July, and £5 14s. 6d. on the 20th August. Another
of Messrs. Peck's customers, a Mr. Wade, of Cam-
den-town, paid the prisoner £l3 ls. 4d. on the
15th August, on account of Messrs. Peck. None
of these amounts, however, had been accounted for
by the prisoner.
The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was com-
mitted for trial.

BOW- STREET.—A French gentleman applied
to Mr. Henry for a summons against the keeper of
a mock-auction shop in the Strand under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
The applicant, who spoke English imperfectly,
said—Please your lordship, I go to de shop where
dare is de sale going on, de Saturday of last week,
and I see a very handsome clock dat strike de
hours, and seem very good. It was put up for sale,
and I bid for it, again and again, till it was knock
down to me for three pounds ten shillings. I think
that possible the clock may be change, so I wait in
the shop more than an hour and I say 1 will go
home wid de man dat bring home my clock. They
cover up the clock in a sack, and we go home ; bu;,
then I find that the clock is change after all—the
face is broken, and there is no strike in the clock
at all. I take it back to de man, and I say, " You
warrant that the clock would strike." He say, " I
much prefer a clock myself that do not strike ;"
but I say " That is your taste, not mine." I say I
will have the striking clock or I will have back my
money. Igo again and again, day after day, and
each time I go 1 see the same faces—the same men
and the same women, buying the tings dad are put
up ; but I neither got by right clock nor my money,
and I see my clock put up for sale again and again.
What shall I do?
Mr. Henry explained to the applicant that he
had no power to grant a summons in such a case.
It was a breach of warrant ; but the complainant
could get redress by taking out a summons in the
County Court.
Applicant—l am much obliged. That is what I
will do.

CLERKEN WELL.—Jahn Henry Green, aged
22, a strong powerfullybuilt man who had the front
of his head strapped up with surgical bandages,
and who described himself as a carpenter residing
at 23, Frederick-street, Hampstead road, was
charged with burglariously breaking and entering
the dwelling-house of Mr. Charles Newton on the
night of the 2d inst., and stealing therein an ivory
work-box, a china card basket, a gold broach,
two silver tops of inkstands, three silver napkin
rings, four yards of black silk, an album, and one
damask table-cloth. The prisoner was further
charged with cutting and wounding police-con-
stable George Gay, 135 N, with intent to murder
him, in the parish of St. Mary, Hornsey.
Mr. Inspector Baywater, N division, attended to
watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of
Polcie.
Mrs. Jane Newton said--I reside at Harringay
House, Hornsey. It was 'my husband's dwelling-
house. On the morning of the 3d inst. I came down
stairs and found several of the inner and outer doors
of the house open. That was after 6. The place had
been left in great disorder. I was the first person
down that morning. I missed a work-box and other
articles of the value at least of £5O. The articles
were taken from various parts of the house. I found
three of the outer doors open, two that lead into
the yard and. one that leads into the conservatory.
I found marks showing that candles had been burnt,
and that by strangers. There was not the least trace
of any person having broken in,but there were ap-
pearances of some persons having concealed them-
selves in the billiard-room. The handkerchief pro-
duced, and which was taken from the prisoner's
pocket, is my property.
Sarah Ann Dickson said I am housemaid in the
service of the last witness. On the morning of the
3d inst. I heard an alarm from my mistress, and I
oame down stairs and I saw three outer doors open.
Two of these I closed and fastened inside on the
previous night before half-past 7. The quantity of
candle that I found had been burnt by the thieves
would have lasted about three hours.

Chas. Couzens, a farm servant, said on the morn- I
ing of the 3d I heard of this robbery, and I traced
footsteps from the conservatory to the hedge, and
through the hedge towards some rubbish. That was
about 9 o'clock, and before the dew was gone. In
that rubbish I found the carved ivory workbox pro-
duced. It was quite underneath it, for concealment.
Police-constable Gay, 135 N, was then called. He
appealed in a weak state, with his arm in a sling
and his hand enveloped in surgical bandages. He
was so weak that he had to be seated whilst giving
his evidence. He said—l received information of
this robbery, and I went with N 276 to watch the
workbox. About a quarter past 9on the night of
the 3d the prisoner and another man came across the
field, direct to the spot where the workbox was con-
cealed. I saw them take it out of the rubbish, and
the prisoner tried to place it in a leather bag.
While they were so doing we pounced out upon
them. I took the prisoner into custody after he had
run a little way. I was not in uniform. He spoke
first, and said, " What are you going to do with me?"
I told him I was not going to do anything with
him, provided he would go with me to the police
station. He made no reply, but went along for a
hundred yards quietly, and then I had to open a
gate. Whilst I was doing so he threw me up be-
hind, but I kept h old of him and he fell on top of me.
After a struggle I got the hew, and got on top of
him, and tried to lay hold of his throat. He got
my finger in his mouth, and has drawn the nail and
flesh from the first joint from the bone. (Sensation.)
I drew my staff, and he got it away from m
:-..0f it again, and threw it away. I felt himpueihiits.

cut me at the back of the head. I began to feel
very faint, and he got away. I got up and went
after him, and when I got to him I slipped down.
The moment I fell he turned round, stabbed me
again in the head, and said, " You -- that will
do for you now." I called " Help" and " Murder,"
and my brother constable came to me. I lost a
great deal of blood from the wounds the prisoner
inflicted. He said no more to me. I have been
under the surgeon ever since, and shall be so for
some time. lam unable to do my duty. . _

In answer to the prisoner, the witness said he
did not strike prisoner with his staff when he first
took him into custody. He was almost insensible
when his brother constable came up.
Police-constable James Gall, 236 N, said—l was
with the last witness when the prisoner and another
man came for the box. They both ran away, and
I followed the other man, and he escaped by
jumping into the river. I heard my brother con-
stable call out " Murder !" and " I am stabbed !"
I then turned back to his assistance. I met the
prisoner full butt, running, and I struck him with
my staff' and knocked him down, and took him to
the station. He did not say a word. I searched
him, and in his side coat pocket I found a
pocket-handkerchief belonging to the prosecutor.
I found on the prisoner a soldier's discharge,
which showed that he was convicted of burglary at
Aldershot.
Polico.sergeant W. Monahan, 38 N, was
on duty at the Hornsey station when the prisoner
was brought in on this charge. I took off his hat
to look at the nature of the wound, and found the
knife produced in his hat. Hearing that the con-
stable was stabled, I examined it, d and foun marks
of blood on the large blade. The blood was quite
fresh.
Inspector Bywater said that there was a previous
conviction against the prisoner, but it was not then
present. There was also another charge of burglary
against the prisoner.
The prisoner said he did n
tions, or to make any of wish to ask any ques-
defenc.
Mr. Barker committed the prisoner to the Cen-
trill Criminal Court for trial on this charge.
The'prisoner was next charged with burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of George
Richards Burnett, la'sq., distiller, South-lodge, En-
field-chase, and stealing silver plate and other arti-
cles of the value of 1100, on the 10th August last.
Mr. George Richards Burnett said--I reside at
South Lodge,
Enfield Chase. lam a rectifier. On
the morning
of the 10th I found that the hot,se,
dwelling-house, had been entered in
