POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

CAPTURE or A SMASHER.—Edward Cannon was placed
at the bar, charged with passing a large quantity of coun-
terfeit coin in his possession.
From the evidence of Mr. Brennan, the officer attached
to the Mint, the prisoner was taken into custody
last night in Southampton-buildings, Holborn, and
on his person were found 34 shillings, seven florins,
seven half-crowns, and five crowns, all counterfeit. He
struggled violently when taken into custody. Prisoner is a
native of St. Luke's, a locality famous for the number
of coiners residing there. He was at the last session
of the Central Criminal Court acquitted of a similar charge.
He was remanded.

ROBBERY AT MESSRS. MAPLE's.--,Tarnes Harris, French-
polisher, was charged with stealing a quantity of table-
cloths and other woollen goods, the property of Messrs.
Maple, of Tottenham-court-road, and Samuel Tyrell, a
labourer, residing in the neighbourhood of the Hampstead-
road, was charged with receiving a portion of the same,
well knowing them to have been stolen.

The evidence wont to show that the property was kept
in a loft in the workhouse, and that the prisoner, who was
in the employ of the firm, used to visit the loft with the
view of removing furniture therefrom for polishing, but
in reality he used to secret a quantity of the woollen goods
about his person and convey portions of them to the pri-
soner (Tyrell's) house. A large quantity of duplicates for
property belonging to Messrs. Maple was also found, but
the person pledging the same was a female. The prisoners
were taken into custody by police unstable 80 E.
The loss of Messrs. Maple for depredations during
the last twelve months was stated to be over.l,ooo.
Both prisoners were formally committed for trial, but
they were remanded for the purpose of ascertaining whe-
ther the female pledging the property could be secured.

The Alleged Murder of a German.

INQUEST THIS DAY.

This morning Mr. John Humphrey; the East Middle-
sex coroner, held his inquisition at the London Hospital
on the body of Joseph Kitchen, the unfortunate man who
lost his life under tho circumstances detailed in our co-
lumns on Thursday.
Leonard Kitchen, the deceased's son, was the first
witness called, but his evidence was similar to that
given at the magistrate's examination of the accused.
He said Jacob Brenner worked for his father. On the
Sunday evening when the unfortunate occurrence took
place he was asleep, but he was awoke by his father calling
out for assistance as Brenner was assaulting him. Brenner
went away, but when a short time afterwards his father
went into the street Brenner stabbed him in the abdomen.
His father never had a serious quarrel with Brenner, and
he could not tell what led to the dispute on Sunday. Both
deceased and the accused were sober. His father was in
the first quarrel wounded in the arm, and he believed the
same knife produced the injuries which caused his death.
After a short deliberation, the jury found a verdict of
manslaughter against Jacob Brenner.
