POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Aug.2o.

MANSION-HOUSE. A respectably dressed
lad, 17 years of age, named Alfred Garnham, a
clerk, and Henry Read, 26, an ostler, were charged
with having in their possession the handle of a
silver table spoon, which was supposed to have
been stolen.

Mr. Fry, silversmith, 108, Bishopsgate, said that
at about half-past eight that morning the prisoner
Garnham came into his shop and offered part of a
silver spoon for sale. He perceived that it had
been recently broken, and asked him where he got
it. He said his mother had given it him to dispose
of for the purpose of purchasing a box of paints.
He was given into custody, and the other prisoner,
Read, who was waiting outside the shop, was like-
wise taken into custody.
Mr. Champ, a solicitor, from Ipswich, said the
prisoner Garnham had been in his service as clerk,
and he had an officer from Ipswich, with a warrant
for his apprehension upon a charge of embezzle-
ment.

George Bullenthorpe, a detective officer from
Ipswich, produced a warrant signed by William
Mumford, Esq., magistrate, for the apprehension of
Alfred Garnham for embezzling the sum of £4, be-
ing part of the sum of £l.O which he had received
on account of his employer, Mr. Champ. He stated
that the prisoner Ge..-nham was the lad mentioned
in the warrant. He knew the other prisoner, but
Lau no charge against
Mr. Goodman, chief clerk, asked Mr. Champ if
he knew anything of Read.
He said he did, and upon being sworn stated that
he knew the two prisoners were companions at
Ipswich. The prisoner Garnham was a clerk in
his service, and he believed if Read was remanded
he could prove that he knew the other prisoner had
robbed him and that he had also received a portion
of the money. They both left Ipswich together,
and been living together since. He knew to whom
the silver spoon belonged, and he believed it would
form a case against Read.
Garnham was then handed over to the custody of
Bullenthorpe to be taken before the magistrate at
Ipswich, and Read was remanded.
