POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 3.

MANSION-HOUSE.— James Crowther and
Samuel Goodburn were placed at the bar, in answer
to their recognisances, to undergo a further exami-
nation upon a charge of conspiring together in ob-
taining, by means of false pretences, various sums
of money, belonging to their employers, Messrs.
Laing and Merridew, of Mincing-lane, colonial
brokers.

Mr. Wontner again appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Messrs. Hiliyer and
Fenwick, appeared for Crowther; and Mr. Lewis,
jun., attended on behalf of Goodburn.
The examination lasted nearly five hours, and
Mr. Sleigh intimated that his cross-examination
was likely to be rather long, and the case was again
adjourned, the defendants being admitted to bail
as before.

CLERKENWELL.—M. Peter Meriggia, the
licensed keeper of a refreshment house, at 101, High-
street, Islington, was summoned at the instance of
Inspector Judge, N division, for unlawfully and
knowingly permitting and suffering disorderly con-
duct in his house on the 13th ult.
Mr. John Wakeling attended for the defendant,
who pleaded not guilty.
Police-constable William Scott, 134 N, said—On
the 13th of last month, about 1 o'clock in the morn-
ing, I was on duty in High-street, near the Angel,
at Islington. I saw a crowd of persons standing in
front of the defendant's house. There was a very
great disturbance inside. I went in and in a small
room adjoining the shop I found nine prostitutes.
Three of them were stripped with their bonnets and
shawls off, and two were fighting and making a
great uproar. Their language was most obscene
and disgusting. There were two more prostitutes
on the stairs. Altogether I saw 17 prostitutes in
the house, and the whole of them were noisy. I saw
two of the defendant's servants there, one of them
being in the room in which the fight was taking
place, but they took no notice, and one of them said
he could not help it.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wakeling—l was not
asked to turn the women out. One of the defen-
dant's servants was not doing his best to eject the
women from the shop. I did not see that either of
the prostitutes was taking refreshment.
Police-constable Redstall, 381 N, confirmed the
previous witness's statement, and, in cross-examina-
tion, said that he did not hear anyone ask the police
to turn the women out of the shop.
Mr.Wakeling said the defendant was not licensed
to sell wine, and he hardly thought that the legis-
lature intended this act to apply to ice shops. He
should call witnesses to show that the women
rushed into the shop and commenced fighting, and
that the police refused to interfere when asked to
turn them out.

Two of the defendant's servants having corrobo-
rated Mr. Wakeling's statement,
Mr. Barker said there could be no doubt but that
ice shops came within the meaning of the act, and
ordered the defendant to pay the costs and be more
careful in future.

William Hill, a well dressed young man, resid-
ing at 19, Windsor-terrace, City-road, was charged
before Mr. Barker with robbery, and with embez-
zling several sums of money belonging to his em-
ployer, Mr. F. Mordan, gold pen and pencil manu-
facturer, of 326, City-road.
The prisoner had been in the employ of the pro-
secutor as clerk and traveller, at a liberal salary.
His duty was to account for all money he received
on the same day. One or two cases of embezzle-
ment to a small amount coming under the notice of
the prosecutor, he spoke to the prisoner on the sub-
ject, and placing confidence in his assurance that he
(prisoner) had disclosed all his defalcations, he (the
prosecutor) did not give him into custody, but dis-
charged him with a caution. From what after-
wards came to the knowledge of Mr. Mordan, he
placed the matter in the bands of Police-sergeant
Evans Faighavel.h. mismirpoinneste
antrrohrt gee a nr
pri-
soner said he was guilty, and remarked that had
time been given him he might probably have paid
the prosecutor the money. Since the prisoner had
been in custody he had written to the prosecutor,
and told him of two or three cases in which he had
embezzled money.
Police-sergeant Evans asked for a remand, as
some material witnesses were not in attendance.
' The prisoner said he was guilty, but hoped the
magistrate would admit him to bail.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner till Tuesday
nest, and granted summonses against the absent
witnesses. He said he would take bail—two sure-
ties in the sum of £6O each, and the prisoner in £lOO.
The prisoner was locked up in default.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Mark Archer and Wm.
Haycock, young men unfavourably known to the
police, and against the latter of whom a conviction
was stated to be recorded, were charged as follows :
Mr. E. Morley, resident at Bethnal-green, said—
About 12 o'clock last night, I and three friends left
the Vicar of Wakefield public-house, Suffolk-street,
Bethnal-green ; we were perfectly sober, and walked
away in pairs, Mr. Higgs and myself being about
100 yards in advance. Suddenly I heard a cry for
help and of "police." We ran back and found both
prisoners confronting my other friends, Archer strik-
ing one of them with a short stick. I instantly
rushed up and endeavoured to get hold of him, but
ho dealt me a heavy blow on the head with the
weapon which caused me to stagger against the
wall. I bled freely from the wound, and was laid
upon a door-step, where I became insensible. Sub-
sequently I was taken to the station-house, wher I
saw the prisoners and preferred a charge against
them. I still feel very weak. Archer struck Mr.
Bull on the head. lam positive as to the prisoner's
identity. Neither of them spoke a word during
the assault.

Mr. G. Bull, 153, Bethnal-green, corroborated the
last witnes4l,l and added, at the instant that the
prisoner struck Mr. Morley, Haycock was attack-
ing my companion—a Mr. Fulliford. I ran a short
distance, but, hearing my name called, returned
and found that the assailants had gone. I and
Fulliford then went in pursuit, calling aloud for
the police. We espied the prisoners near the
Lamb public-house, not a great distance off, Archer
still having a stick in his hand. I told my friend not
to approach, but a police-constable came up at the
same instant, and directly they saw him one of them
said, pointing to us, " We will give these persons in
charge for assaulting us." We explained what had
occurred, and the prisoners were taken into custody.
Mr. Higgs gave a precisely similar version of the
outrage, and Mr. Frank Fulliford described the at-
tack upon himself thus :—I and. Mr. Bull had lin-
gered behind, and while in conversation and just
turning into Three Colts-lane, a hand grasped my
throat. At the same moment I was seized by the
collar of my coat, and an effort was made to throw
me, but I got away and shouted for help. The pri-
soner Haycock is the mar who attacked me. Mr.
Morley and Mr. Higgs came to our assistance. I
distinctly saw Archer assault with a stick Mr.
Morley and Mr. Bull. When the prisoners ran off
I followed. Archer turned short round upon me
with the uplifted stick and said, "If you don't stand
back I'll hit you on the head with this." Subse-
quently we found them near the Lamb, as stated.
Feist, 163 K—l heard loud cries for the police,
ran to the spot, and saw all the party. I took from
Archer's hand this stick (a knobbed oak or grape-
vine.) Another constable came up, and the prisoners
were taken to the station house.

Mr. J. Ralph, surgeon, 237:Bethnal-green road
—I was sent for to the station house, where I saw
Mr. Morley, in a weak state from loss of blood pro-
ceeding from an incised wound on the scalp. On the
head of Mr. Bull was a swelling as large as an egg,
but not any wound. Thestick produced would inflict
such injuries.
The prisoners put some questions to the witnesses
that were not pertinent to the charge against them,
but offered no defence.
Mr. Cooke ordered a remand, for the purpose of
ascertaining whether any previous matter of m
could be brought against them ; but it was decided
that they should go for trial on the double charge
of assaulting with intent to rob, while another count
will charge Archer with wounding Air
