P OLICEINfEILIGENCE.

G UILDIIALL.
Yes'eiday Trillions E. Beesley, otherwise Henley, was
.rought up for re-examination, charged with having r..bhed
t,:s fellow-lodger: at eoffee-houseg, where he had hired a bed
for the night. William Gardner, the City policeman No. 87,
since the previous hearing had b..en round amongst the pawn-
brukers, in company with he young man lodging at the Vic-
toria, in Crown-street, Soho, from whom the priioner had
stolen a suit of clothes. They had not yet traced the property,
but the young man had identified a pair of gloves in the
prisoner's box.

- A new charge was preferred against the pi ironer by a
journeyman baker named Gar,-Iner, lodging at the Skinners'
Artnti, Skinner-street, Clerkenwell. [-le identified a pair of
braces, found in the prisoner's hex, as having been stolen
from him about three weeks ago. The prisoner declined
saying any thing upon this charge.
The officer said be found two tters in the prisoner's box,
aril he had requested the attendance of a lady to whom one of
them was addressed.

Miss Andrews (who was accompanied by an elder sister)
came forward, and in reply to the Magistrate's questions she
said she had known thc prisoner a very short time. She had
walked cut Kith him, accompanied by her sister, once. lie
was introduced to her by Mr. Watkins, who is a respectable
person, thine. in St. John street. She and her sister supported
themselves bpy carrying on businecs as milliners, at No. 62, St.
John-street, and live with their mother there. She might say
he was a stranger, for she knew nothing about him.
Sir PE ran LAURIE was happy. to hear it, fur the prisoner
was a desperate, dangerous character, living by pltthder, and
had sought her acquaintance to lob or injure her. He was a
smart young fellow, with a gentletnaniy bearing, and he knew
what an effect that would have en the mind of many a }oung•
lady ; but he trusted this ease would .b.: a warning bow hulas
appearances were to be depended on, sad how much beyond it
,as the character of a man. lie asked Miss Andrews if she
nas aware of the contents of the letter addressed to her ?
Miss A. was not, and the Alderman ordered it to b.: read
aloud, as follows :

My dearest Jare,—l know that gentleness rhich seems
to dispose cf all your actions will in.luee you to commiserate
va itli rather than condemn tha feeling which prometed me to
this literty. The fear that you %%11 not bestow a thought on
:::e tenders me truly miscrasle, for I think so much of you
that lam almost lost to myself. Your sister informed me that
there were no hopes. you base I e. a so long engaged to Mr.
P. ; if so, I can but express my regret at e,er seeing pal,
and how much I envy him. Do no.: deem it irrelevant if I
:tate how much I love you, a..cl what I think of 3 oa. 1 cauld
not have c:eated such a gam, even in my own wild imagina-
tion. But will you see me ? I cal te.l you veomally what I
cannot state in a letter; and if I hear from ....our own sweet
lips that your heart is entirely devoted to that gentleman, I
will atone for thus troubling you by an endeavour never to re-
peat the offence. Pray, my dearest. sweetest girl, send a note
when I shall see you—if but for a few moments, it would be
indeed a kindness, and I am sure if you knew what an allevia-
tion it would be to my present unhappy feeling., it would more
than requite you for so great a condescension. I am your
truly devoted,

" W. E B2ESLEY.
"P. S. I trust to your keeping this secret. I know your
mother will be against it ; kut without derogating frJrn Mr.
P., if it was only possible for you to honour my af:Aection with
a re:urn, you would lose nothing of resper;l.Ability by the
transfer. In pity, my dear girl, you will ttt.:nd me an answer,
as anything you eaa say wilt be better ...nen my remaining in
dre.clful suspense. Direct. Mr. Beesley, 21, Iligh-street,
Islington.—June 8, 1838."
Miss Jane, who was covered with blushes during the read-
lag of the letter, declared she knew nothing of the coatents,
aid her sister added she would not have replied to it if she had
received it.

Sir Peter Laurie hopd she would not, but a case had come
under his observation last week where a female, just double her
age, had been deluded with fair words. She shoilld now hear
another- letter, dated four days prior to the one just read, and
intended fur some other dude.

" wonder whether my dear Eliza has thought much of me
since I saw her last. I should be truly miserable if I believed
she had not. On Tuesday evening I shall see her, I trust.
ilow I anticipate that day I Pray bz at home, yon little
Syren, I think so much of you that I am almost lust to
myself.—Yours truly, " W. E. I3F.ESLEY."
On the same sheet with the above rough draught of a love
epistle is a memorandum in short-halid, another in French,
_
arid the commencement of a note—" Dear 13i11--no luck la=t
evening—unfortunate.—very."
Sir P. LatntiE said the prisoner was probably living in part
on the young women he &laded. Ile should take care to
cammit him on every case t'iat c0..1d be brought home to him.
