THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1862.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Pay.)

Smith, a young man, was charged before Mr. Yardley

Mr. Yardley—llad you been drinking anything else?
The Captain—Three glasses of brandy and water, but I
was perfectly sober, I can assure you.

Mr. Yardley—Where did you first meet the prisoner ?
The Ccmtain—at a public house. I had the bottle of
wine with another captain, and I treated the prisoner libe-
rally, believing that he was respectable.

Mr. Yardley—Are you in the habit of picking up casual
acquaintances when you are in London ?
The Captain—No. The other sovereign was found in
prisoner's coat.

Prisoner—l plead guilty to taking the money.
The daughter of the landlady of the hotel said—The
prisoner came and asked for a cup of tea for the prosecutor,
who came in quite sober, and I saw him put the cup to
prosecutor's mouth. My mother then sent for a constable.
Can., 35 C, proved picking up the sovereign, and find-
ing another up the prisoner's coat sleeve.
Prosecutor—l don't wish to press the charge.
Mr. Yardley—Don't interfere, sir. Mr. Yardley then
told the prisoner ho might plead guilty if he liked.
Prisoner then called a witness, whose statement was
totally irrelevant to the case. •
Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed.

PICKING 17P A SEA CAPTAIN.—SINGULAR CASE.—John

with stealing two sovereigns from Mr. Joseph Burdus,
captain of a merchant ship, and at present resiwng at 3,
Barrossa-place, Brompton.
Mr. Buidos said—l am a captain of a merchant ship,
and went last night with the prisoner to No. 30, Coventry-
street,.--an hotel. I had met the prisoner in the early part
of the evening and invited him to have something to
drink. Prisoner said he would like to go to the theatre,
and I allowed him to take my arm. I paid for
everything. Went to Saville Helve, Leicester-square.
We then went to the hotel in Coventry-street,
and after I had hail some tea I fell asleep, but I
know I had £2 10s. in my pocket. On waking, and going
to pay the waiter, I found all my money gone. I asked the
prisoner if ho had robbed me, and he said "Robbed you ;
I'm a gentleman, and l'll bring an action against you."
The landlady then shut the door, and prevented the pri-
soner leaving the room. Prisoner then said, " Search me.
I've not robbed you." The constable then t )ok the pri-
soner, and as he was going along I heard a sovereign drop,
and the constable picked it up. 1 told the prisoner I world
let him got if he would own to it. I have no doubt the
prisoner drugged the tea I had, as I had a bitter taste in
my mouth when I awoke. I was perfectly sober, having
only had a bottle of wine.
