POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A well-dressed young man,
named Charles Frederich, Barrett, was brought before
Sir R. W. Carden, charged with having committed an
aggravated assault on Guy Fawkes night.
Monger, of the detective police, said on Saturday
night as I was on duty in Trinity-square, Tower-hill, in
plain clothes, a man came up to me with a very large
squib, which was then lighted in his hand, and took my
hat off. He put the squib to my thigh and burned me
very much, I told him that I was a police officer, and
that I would lock him up in the station house. At that
moment the defendant came up and caught me by the
skirt of the coat. I said to him "Do not interfere as
lam a police officer, and am taking him to the station
house." Ho said, " I'm d—d if you shall take him."
A crowd of people then surrounded me, and with the
defendant rescued the man from me. I then took hold
of the defendant, and said I would lock him up. He
resisted me as much as he could, and I called for assist-
ance. There were 300 or 400 people round me at the
time. My hat was lost, and my coat torn from my back.
I took the defendant to the station house.
The correctness of the officer's statement was con-
firmed by the evidence of two witnitsses, who, upon
being called in the Queen's name to assist him, gave
their aid accordingly. They said the defendant was
striking the officer, and that upon giving him their help
they were knocked about unmercifully themselyes.
Monger—l asked a metropolitan policeman to assist
me, and he refused, but kept walking behind us for
some time,

The defendant—l was looking at the fireworks, and
was pushed about by the crowd ; and when the man whom
the officer had in oustody escaped through the inter-
ference of the mob, the officer took me into custody. I
tried to get away, and two policemen refused to take
me into custody.

Monger—l believe the officer who refused to assist
me said the defendant was a friend of his.
Sir R. W. Carden said the offence of which it was
obvious the defendant was guilty was one of a most
serious character, as affected the security of the public
peace, and it Ts as the more dangerous as the assailant
was a person of respectable appearance, whose•example
would find many followers in a mob assembled on such
a night. He was happy to observe that there were two
persons on the spot who knew that it was their duty,
upon being called in the Queen's name, to assist the
police, and it was his intention to order their expenses
to be paid. The defendant must go to Holloway for
21 days.
The defendant—Won't your lordship be satisfied with
inflicting a money fine ?
Sir R. W. Carden—No, you must go to Holloway
for this offence.

A man named O'Connor, who had been lately work-
ing in Kent, was put to the bar.
Balchin (of the detective police) said—l apprehended
the prisoner at a pawnbroker's shop, upon being in-
formed that he had offered a gold watch and massive
gold chain for sale. He said he had given 100 dollars
for the article in America. At the station-house he
said he gave 50 dollars for it.
Prisoner—lf I didn't my sister-in-law did, and that's
all the same, isn't it ?

Sir R. W. Carden—Not exactly. I remand the case
that strict inquiry may be made.
The watch, which is very small, was considerably
bruised as if it had suffered by a fall in a struggle.
Upon the back of it is a spirited representation of a
fight between a tiger and a serpent.

GUILDHALL.—A salesman, named Reynolds, in
Newgate Market, was summoned by the inspectors of
meat, for exposing for sale the body of a sheep that was
unfit for human food.

It appeared that one of the inspectors perceiving the
rotten condition of the meat in question, inquired the
price of it, and the defendant, not recognising him, and
believing he had caught a good customer, offered to
let him have the lot at 25d. per lb., upon which the in-
spector seized the whole of it.
Alderman Lawrence said the defendant had been
guilty of a very serious offence in offering meat for sale
that was unfit for food, and he therefore fined him 40s.
and 4s. costs.

CLERKENWELL.--Charles Bill and Edward May-
nard alias Edward Clarke, were charged by Mr. James
Seward, master tailor, of No. 30, Remmington-street,
City-road, with having burglariously entered his dwel-
ling-house.
The prosecutor deposed that on Sunday night last he
was sitting wit i his wife in the kitchen of his house,
when he was alarmed by the cries of his children, who
were in the habit of sleeping in the shop. He imme-
diately proceeded up stairs, when the prisoner Hill
sprang at him, seized him by the throat and struck him
violently, and pulled his watch from his pocket. Mrs.
Seward came up and seized the prisoner, who became
outrageous to both of them ; they called out " Murder,"
when one of the children opened the street door,
and their screams brought the assistance of the
neighbours. The prisoner Maynard entered the house,
and said "What are you making all this row about,
and he attempted to rescue Hill, who, however,
was detained until the arrival of Bryant, 77, and Neale
204' G,'• who took him into custody; but Maynard escaped
until yesterday imorning, when he was identified and
apprehended in the neighbourhood of the court. The
place had been rifled, and property to a considerable
amount was found in the shop packed up, and all ready
to be removed from the premises. Mr. Joseph Clarke
and his wife heard the cries of " Murder," and went to

con-
victed thieves, and they were fully committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—A respectably attired man, who
gave his name as IVilliant Martin„ was charged with
having conspired with Rosenthal Cruchley, a prisoner
for debt, to defraud Caroline Onslow, a clergyman's
widow, since married, and now named Burton, No. 55,
Gloucester-place, Portman-square, of a considerable sum
of money by means of false and fraudulent representa-
tions.
The case was remanded, the prisoner being allowed
to put in bail for his re-appearance, himself in 3001.

SOUTHWARK.— William Snow, an old man dressed
in a seedy suit of black, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with stealing► a piece of pork from
the shop of Mr. Thomas Crocker, butcher, Burlington-
place, Old Kent-road.
Eliza Rencher, the wife of a mechanic, said she was
purchasing some meat of Mr. Crocker on Saturday even-
ing, when she saw the prisoner, who was standing on the
other side of her, take a piece of pork off the board and
and deliberately wrap it up in an old handkerchief and
