POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAPTURE or A PAIR Op NOTORIOUS BURGLARS.—
William Levy alias Dalby, a fellow wearing fashionable
whiskers, and Henry Wilson, alias Cole, alias Brown, both
notorious characters, and -Wilson having been transported
for 7 or 10 years, t; ere charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as sus-
pected persons, and Wilson was further charged with being
in possession of housebreaking implements, come of which
were produced and were said to be well made housebreak-
ng tools.
1 Sergeant Joy, 9C, deposed that about 11 o'clock ou
Saturday night last, he was in company with Sergeant
Brown, 5 C, in Castle-street, St. Martin's, when he saw the
two prisoners in company with two other men. Knowing
them. he watched and followed them about till they got into
St. Martin's-street, when the two men, catching sight of
him (Sergeant Joy) ran away. They (the officer) then went
up to the prisoners,-when Dalby said, " I have only come
to see my old woman, Mr. Joy, and I don't intend to do
anything wrong." On searching the prisoner Dalby he
found nothing on him.
Sergeant Brown, 5 C, said that, while taking Wilson to
the station, he made a sudden jerk and darted off. He (the
sergeant) then pursued the prisoner, and while doing co saw
him fling away the crowbar produced. Having succeeded
in securing Wilson he took him to the Vine-street station,
where, on searching him, a piece of soap used to take the
impression of the wards of keys, a screwdriver, some
matches, &c., were found. He knew Dalby to have been
convicted two or three times, once for entering a house in
Argyle-street with skeleton keys, and he had also been
transported for 7 years.

Sergeant Joy said Wilson was "wanted" for a burglary
at Mr. Adam's in Oxford-street, where a quantity of plate
was stolen, and for wbich two other men were in custody,
and under remand at this court.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand both prisoners, but
he would at once tell Wilson that he should commit him
for trial for being in possession of housebreaking
ments.

Sergeant Joy said the other men would come up on
Thursday, and Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till
that day.

THE AUTHORITIES OF THE ST. GEORGE'S WORK.
lIOUSE IND THE CASUAL POOR.—Charles Williams, a
lad, was charged with breaking two panes of glass in the
window of Mount-street Workhouse.

Plowright, the porter, said that at six the previous even-
ing, the lad came with some others, to whom he gave
bread. He told him he could not admit him, and he refused
to leave, and then broke two panes of glass of the value
of Gs.

The lad said he walked from Maidenhead that day, and
that he was three times pushed off the steps.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it did not appear why the lad came
from Maidenhead, and if he chose to tramp up from that
place and break windows he must take the consequences. It
was, no doubt, in the power of the guardians to have a
large or a small ward for the casual poor, but he thought a
rich parish like St. George's ought to have more room for
them. It would be an awkward thing to settle who were
the parties to blame if any one were to perish in consequence
of not being admitted.

The porter said that since he was at the court last he
admitted 45 a night.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that was a small number at all events.
He; however, felt sure that such a rich and important
parish as St. George's could not wish to deal unfairly with
poor people.

Mr. Baddely, one of the officers of the houso, said they
wished to do all they could, but that many of the persons
who came to them belonged to other parishes.

The lad was ordered to pay the damage, or 14 days.

WESTMINSTER.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A GENTLEMAN.—A gentle-
man who gave the name of William Humphries, residing
at 8, Waterloo-terrace, clerk, 22 years of age, was charged
with being drunk and riotous.

Alfred Matthews, 332 B, said he was cm duty at half-
past two on Sunday morning in College-place, Chelsea,
when he saw the prisoner standingwith a prostitute making
a great disturbance by making use of most disgraceful
language. Witness told him ho must go away and not
make that noise and disturb respectable people at that time
in the morning, when ho turned round and said he would
knock witness' head off, and would not go away for a •—•
thing like him. Witness again told him to go away, and,
on his refusing, took him into custody.
Defendant denied the charge in iota, alleging that he
was perfectly sober. He had just come home he said in a
cab, when he saw the constable talking to a prostitute and
another constable. He watched them some time, and
went over and told them they ought to be on their beat,
when the constable Matthews knocked him down, and then
took him into custody.

,denied by Matthews, and the sergeant who
took the charge said tho defendant was drunk (also proved
by another constable) and Matthews was a steady con-
stable, who had been in the force for nearly three years.
Mr. Paynter observed so he had always found him, and
it was not likely he was going to believe the word of a
drunken man before the sworn testimony of two constables
and a sergeant. Defendant's conduct was very bad all
through, and he should fine him 155., or send him for 14
days to pt ison.
