POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec.II.

M A RYLE BONE.—CaPTuRE OF A B lIRGLAR.
A fellow, with a slight moustache, who gave the
name of Chas. Austin, but refused his address, was
charged with burglariously entering the house of
J. H. Tremenheere, Esq., 12, Howley-place, Pad-
dington, with intent to rob, &c.
John Leach, a railway porter, late 334 D, said—
About two this morning, I was aroused by hearing
the smashing of glass, and hearing something fall.
For some time after this I listened, and upon two
distinct occasions heard something move, when I
got up and looked through the window into the
garden, where, by the reflection of the moon, I saw
a man's figure upon the wiudow. I put on some of
my clothes, and lighting a candle, I went down to
the garden, and as I got there I saw a man jump on
to the wall. Previous to this I heard some one try
to get in at the back door in the garden. I got the
assistance of a constable, and we went over the
house and garden, and just as we had finished our
search we heard cries for assistance, and on getting
to the spot I found the prisoner struggling and strik-
ing an officer, when I seized him and knocked his
head against the coping of the wail, after which he
said he would go quietly. The house is full of fur-
niture and valuables, and I am left in charge of i
by Mr. Tremenheere. The flower-pots in the closet
had been knocked down and the window was open,

It appeared that on the previous evening Mr.
Northc,ote, cheesemonger, of Clifton-road, Padding-
was robbed of two Bath chaps, and in conse-
quence of Sell being suspected as one of the thieves,
Jones followed him into a house in Devonshire-
street and took him into custody. On his being
told what he was wanted for, he said he was not
the only one that was there. There were four others
in it, at the same time giving their names and ad-
dresses. They were soon after captured, and from
certain information he (the officer) received, he
went to No. 10, Paul-street, where the female pri-
soners lodged. Taylor was asked what she had
done with the Bath chaps, to which she replied that
she knew nothing about them, and at the same
moment Jones observed her place a cloth under the
bed. He laid hold of it, and on opening it dis-
covered a smoking-hot " chap," which had evidently
not been long taken out of the pot. She then said
that her daughter had bought it. Howard, for
whose arrival he (Jones) waited some time, at length
returned home, when she repeated what her mother
had stated, viz., that she had bought the " chaps"
for sixpence, but did not know from whom. The
rooms occupied by the two women were searched,
and in them were discovered a quantity of gloves,
hair-nets, linen, cards, scented soap, some purses,
and cigars, and, in addition thereto, no fewer than
83 duplicates for watches, rings, dresses, &e.
The officers applied for a remand, when
Mr. Mansfield ordered them to be brought up
again next Wednesday.

CLERKENWELL.—A TRADESMAN SENT TO
PRISON FOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—John
Eaton, aged 30, a silversmith, carrying on business
at 3, Oakley-road, Islington, was charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-
constable Taylor, 336 N, and Miles, 434 N, in the
execution of their duty at Islington.
The defendant, who has before figured at this
court on charges of disorder and assaults, behaved
in a very rude manner to the magistrate, called him
and the officers bad names, interrupting the pro-
ceedings by dreadful oaths.

The prisoner, it appeared, was drunk the night
before, and got into a cab which was already en-
gaged. W hen asked to get out he refused, and the
police were then called, on which the prisoner get
out and struck and kicked the constables, and be-
haved in a very violent manner. He made a great
disturbance, and it was with much difficulty he
could be got to the station.
The prisoner said he was not going to deny that
he had struck the police, and he would do so again,
or any other mau—(a laugh)—if they interfered with
him. He was a respectable man, and could pay any
amount of fine the magistrate liked to inflict.
The magistrate said he should send the prisoner
to the House of Correction for 21 days, with hard
labour, without the option of a fine.
An application was afterwards made to remit the
imprisonment on payment of a fine, but the magis-
trate declined to alter his decision.

LAMBETH.—THE CHARGE AGAINST A SERVANT
OF HAVING ASSISTED HER SWEETHEART IN PLUN-
DERING HER MASTER.—Martha Quentrell the
young woman who had been in custody for nearly a
fortnight on h charge of being concerned with a
young man who had been keeping company with
her in stealing from the residence of Mr. Rudd, her
ma ter, a gold watch and several articles of plate,
of the value of nearly £5O, was again placed at the
bar betore the Hon. G. C. Norton.

It will be recollected from the testimony given on
the former examination, that on the day of the
robbery prisoner was sent upstairs by her mistress to
do up the rooms, and about ten o'clock she came
downstairs and asked her mistress if she had heard
footsteps in the drawing-room, and also heard the
front door open and close, as if some person went
out. The prisoner affected great alarm, and run-
ning up to her bedroom, at the top of the house, ex-
claimed that thieves had been in the house, and had
broken her box open and taken away £2 155., her
money. Suspicion was at once entertained that the
prisoner was connected with the robbery, for though
she had been nearly two hours upstairs she had not
done a single thing ; and on Mr. Rudd's return
home he sent to the Brixton station for Sergeant
Hammond, 10 P, and that officer looking at the
manner in which the plate-chest and the prisoner's
box had been forced open, he had very little doubt
of the prisoner's participation in the robbery. Mr.
Rudd, her master, however did not wish to give her
into custody at the moment, and said he should
take till the morning to consider it, but in the course
of the night the prisoner broke out of the house by
forcing the kitchen window, and was not appre-
hended until the following evening, when she was
met in Newington by the officer. Between the first
and second examination the prosecutor received a
brown paper parcel, in which was enclosed a small
iron bar or "jemmy," and a note addressed to him,
the letter purporting to have been written by the
person who had committed the robbery, and who
signed himself "Burglar to her Majesty," and stat-
ing that his slavey, the prisoner, knew nothing
whatever about it ; and since the last examination
Mr. Rudd had received, in the same hannwriting, a
note of a threatening character. A Norfolk clergy-
man and magistrate was now present at the pri-
soner's examination, and gave a high character of her
father, who, he said, lived in the parish, and is a
respectable man, and testimonials to the same effect
were also furnished to:the magistrate by several re-
spectable gentlemen.
Sergeant Hammond applied for a further remand,
as he had not been able to apprehend her supposed
companion in the robbery, but the application
was opposed by the prisoner's attorney, who con-
tended that there was not a tittle of evidence to
show her guilt, and therefore hoped his worship
would not detain her longer in custody, but at once
discharge her.
Mr. Norton observed that the case was one that
could not be hurried over, and he must therefore
want the remand.
The solicitor applied that the prisoner might be
admitted to bail, and
Mr. Norton replied that he could not comply with
the application, because his doing so might inter-
fere
with the course of justice. While on the sub-
ject of bail, he (Mr. Norton) wished to say a few
words in reference to some remarks reported in the
journals of that morning, made by the Lord Chief
aßacraosne,wohnehreist(hMe rp.aNnoiretsonh)adrefbueseinn

We (Mthis matter. r. Norton) thought it proper to

went to the end of the gardens, whilst a brother
officer went into the house. I watched for about five
minutes, when I saw prisoner climb over three gar-
den walls, then into Herbert Villa,.and then jump
into the road. Prisoner ran towards the place
where I was, and I took hold of him by the collar,
when he said, " What do you want to touch me for?
I wonder at you." He, as T took hold of him, tried
to strike me, when I called for assistance. He was
conveyed to the station, where; on being searched, a
box of silent matches and a knife were found on
him. On taking off his boots his feet were found to
be covered with fresh mud and mould.
Samuel Doble, 147 D, said—This morning I was
directed to go and examine the premises, 12, How-
ley-place, and found that the catch of the window
had been forced back with a knife. I went into the
closet and saw the marks of naked feet. At the back
of the gal den of No. 18, in the corner, there were
marks as if a man had been sitting down, as well as
the marks of a man's toes. The prisoner's clothes
corresponded with the marks on the mould in the
corner. On looking about I saw that some mould had
been turned up and disturbed, and on looking it
over I found a couple of skeleton keys, with curt-
ously-co astructed wards at each end, making as good
as four keys. The marks upon the window entirely
corresponded with the knife found on the prisoner.
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week.
AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.—CharIes Pearce and
George Johnson, young fellows, and Caroline Pearce
a young woman, who behaved herself with bad de-
meanor in the box, were charged on remand as under.
A young man named James Collins, who has upon
many occasions placed parties in the hands of the
police for thieving and robberies at shops, said that
about half-past five in the evening he was in the
Hampstead-road, when he saw Charles Pearce go to
the shop of Mr. Plant, hatter, and take down a
bundle of umbrellas, whilst the other two prisoners
" covered" him. After they left with the plunder
they went up a gateway, and he (witness) spoke to
the police.
Mr. Plant said the umbrellas produced were his
property.
The further evidence went to show that when the
prisoners were taken they made a most determined
resistance to the officers, Maybank, 270 S, and Mer-
rick, 328 5, before they were got to the station-
house. They had since threatened that they would
murder Collins and the prosecutor.
Mr. Mansfield committed all the prisoners for trial.
They all begged to be dealt with by his worship,
but they were removed, as it is believed that former
convictions will be proved against them on their
trial.
SUPPOSED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Five boys,
named Henry Sell, Thomas Lewis, Benjamin Mop-
pet, George Barton, and Charles Austin, and two
women named Charlotte Taylor and Sarah Howard,
mother and daughter, were placed at the bar,
charged by Jones, 174 D, under these circum
stances :

THAMES.-11. lOLENT GAROTTE ROBBERY.--•
CatL,erine HarrinOon, a strong and masculine
woman,. was brought` before Mr. Wooirych, charged
with having, in conio..nction with two others not in
custody, assaulted anel robbed a seaman, named
Morris Hu .Tbur, belonging to the collier ,ship Chance,
lying in tb a river.
The pros ecutor said he was in Ratcliff-bighwaY
on the prect wling evening. He was not sober and
not drunk, b ut he knew the prisoner was the person
who took from him 17s. 6d. or 18s. There were two'
florins, 8 shillings, and 19 sixpences in his pocket--
the right-hand trousers pocket. He was in a public
house in the Ifillhway called the United States, and
had three pots o f porter with a shipmate, whom he
came on shore tt have a carouse with. When he
came: out of th, e United States three persons laid
hold of him, and t lite of them—it was the prisoner--

for I think it no sin I'o ki.ll such wretches as these.
(Great laughter.)
Henry Willock, a police constable, 418 A, said
he saw the prosecutor cotne from a night-house with
two other sailors, this mo.Tning, and after Harbor
had left his shipmates he \ veni down a dark and
narrow alley towards the wa ter,side. He saw the
prisoner, another prostitute, a rid a man following
the sailor. He suspected them, and followed. 116

party the prisoner had her arm r ound i.he neck of

The prisoner, in a whining tone, and pretending
to cry, said—l was very much in liquor. I Weer

Mr. Woolrych—l shah: send you re ,r trial at the

The Sailor—Give her 20 years t;owy ;it will

Mr. Woolrych—l am sorry I cannot accommo..

(Laughter.)
After some discussion, and it appearing that tie
prosecutor was about to sail with his ship, the pole
soner's plea of guilty was received, and she
sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with bar
labour.
It was afterwards stated by Dillon, a police se'
geant, 19 K, that the prisoner had been twice COu"
victed of felony at the sessions, three times sure'
marily convicted, and that she had been in custody
20 times.
