POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE.

MANSION HOUSE.—Joseph Windle Cole, who
lately carried on the business of a merchant in Birchin-
lane, and who has been several times remanded on
@barges of obtaining from mercantile firms in the city
'very large sums of money, was again brought befure
the Lord Mayor, in custody of John Forrester, the
Mansion House officer, for further examination.
The investigation was conducted in the Egyptian
Mr. Humphreys again appeared in support of the
prosecution. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Wont-
per, attended, as at the former examinations, for the
&fondant,
Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having read over the
depositions in the two cases of obtaining by false pre-
tences, the two several sums of 10,0001. from Messrs.
Laing and Campbell, and 35,5001. from Messrs. Stovill
and Co.
The Lord Mayor asked the defendant, after the
usual caution, whether he wished to say anything in
his defence
The defendant—My lord, I reserve my defence.
He was then fully committed on both charges.
Mr. Humphreys said that the next charge upon
which he should proceed against the defendant was
for obtaining on the 26th July, 1853, 10,0001. on the
false pretences contained in a warrant for spelter,
weighing 35 tons, 10 cwt., 22 lbs by the ship Gesiena
Jentina, which goods were represented by the warrant
to be at Hagan's Sufferance Wharf, for which Maltby
and Co. had issued their warrant, whilst in truth no
goods bad arrived there,from the ship in question, but
were in Messrs. Groves s warehouse, and which were
dealt with by the defendant upon a warrant granted by
that firm. Part of the charge was upon a warrant of
a similar description for goods which had arrived by
the ship Liberal, which were dealt with by Messrs.
Groves, at their warehouse, and which were represented
by the defendant to be at Maltby's wharf, where they
never were.
Mr. S. Laing said—l am a colonial broker, carrying
on business in partnership with Mr. Campbell, in
Mincing-line. Anterior to the 26th July, 1853, I had
been applied to by the defendant to advance him money.
Ou the 26th July his clerk brought me a warrant, dated
the 27th November, 1852, for spelter, by the Gesiena
Jentina, the quantity being 35 tons 10 cwt. 221b5.,
signed Maltby and Co., wharfingers, purporting to be
Hagan's Sufferance Wharf, St. Saviour's Dock. At the
same time he brought me another warrant for 47 tons
19 cert. 24 lbs. of spelter, by the ship Liberal, signed by
Maltby and Co., wharfingers, Hagan's Sufferance
Wharf, St. Slviour's Dock, dated the 10th November,
1851. He also brought me a list of warrants, the two
which have been mentioned being included in that list.
Upon the receipt of these documents, and in conse-
quence of conversation which I had with the defendant,
I gave his clerk a cheque for 10,0001., dated the 26th
of July, 1353, drawn by. our.firm upon Messrs. Martin
and Co. and crossed to Messrs. Glyn and Co., the
bankers of the defendant. The cheques have been re-
turned to us as having been paid in due course of busi-
ness.
Mr. T. Groves—l, in partnership with my father
and brother, carry on business at Platform Wharf,
Rotherhithe. On the 22d of November, 1852, I re-
ceived 35 tans, 8 cwt. 221bs. of spelter from Maltby,
said to be out of the Gesiena Jentina, upon which I
issued a warrant on the 24th of the same month for
this same spelter, deliverable to Cole Brothers or
their order. That warrant was sent to Maltby and
Co., and I produce a receipt for it, dated the 23d,
the goods being deliverable to Cole Brothers. About
Jtine, 18.54, this warrant, was brought to me to be
cancelled with the endorsement of Cole Brothers
upon it, and in lieu of that I granted another to John
Pickersgill and Son, who brought back the first one. On
the sth and 6th of November, 1851, I received from the
Liberal, 47 tons 19 cwt. and 24 lbs. of spelter by Maltby's
order. 1 was on board the Liberal when the cargo was
discharging. The quantity I have mentioned was landed
on Maltby'a wharf, and then carried into our warehouse.
On the 10th of November, I issued the warrant for the
same goods deliverable to Cole Brothers, or their order.
That warrant was afterwards brought in by Pickersgill,
about the sth of June last, in exchange for another
granted to him.
The Lord Mayor—Was it necessary for those goods,
in November, 1851, to have been landed on Maltby's
wharf, to have got to your warehouse'
Witness—lt was not necessary.

The Lord Mayor—l understood you to say that the
goods were landed on Maitby's wharf, and carried to
your warehouse
Witness—Yes, he had the profit of the landing charges
to the merchant. We had no charge for landing.
The Lord Mayor—When goods are landed at a
wharf there is a certain charge for wharfage.
Witness—Yes.
The Lord Mayor—And Maltby had the profit of the
wharfage
Witness—Yes.
The Lord Mayor—Although it was not absolutely ne-
cessaryl
Witness—Yes.

Mr. C. Chapple, clerk in the Customs—On the 29th
of October, 1851, the Liberal arrived, having spelter on
board, for fifty tons of which an entry was passed. I
have searched the books, and find that in 1852 she did
not arrive with spelter on board. We can find no trace
that she ever came again with spelter on board either in
1851 or 1852.

By Mr. Clarkson—l do not now recollect that
searched the year 1852, but I did the whole of the year
1851.

M. E. Brewer, clerk to 3lessrs. Glyn and Co., said—
Cole, Brothers, kept cash at our house. The cheque,
dated the 26th of July, for 10,0001., was passed in due
course to the credit of th• defendant.

Tne case being completed,
The Lord Mayor, after the usual caution, asked the
defendant whether he wished to say anything in answer
to the charge.
The defendant said he should reserve his defence.

He was then fully committed on this charge also.
Mr. Humphreys—On some day between the 30th of
Ju'y and the 9th of August List year another warrant for
48 tons of spelter, of the same description of warrant ex-
actly as the one for the 47 tons of spelter, with the ex-
ception of the quantity, was brought to Mr. Laing ; the
spelter being represented by the warrant to have come
by the ship Liberal, which has been alluded to in a
former case, and is which ship only 50 tons had arrived
in the port of London ; 47 tons being the quantity men-
tioned in the former warrant and 48 in this ; so that
this, with the exception of the quantity, was a duplicate
warrant upon the duplicate of warrant.
Mr. Laing—On the 30th July, 1853, thirteen war-
rants were brought to me. Amongst them was one
brought to me by Mr. Cole's clerk, dated the 29th No-
vember, 1851, signed by "Maltby and Co., wharfingers,
Hagan's Sufferance Wharf," for forty-eight tons of
spelter, by the ship Liberal, deliverable to Cole, Brothers,
or their order, and endorsed Cole, Brothers. Upon the
receipt of these 13 warrants, I gave a cheque dated 30th
July, for 7,0001. to the clerk who brought them. On
the day before I had had some conversation with the
defendant as to tile increase of the loan, he requiring an
advance of 40,0001. or 41.0001., consequent upon which
I gave him several acceptances, and amongst them on
the 9th August a further cheque for 2,200/.
Mr. Brewer having proved the payment of the cheque,
Mr. Humphreys said that as the evidence of Mr.
Groves was of exactly the same description as that
which he had given in the last case, he (Mr. Humphreys)
did not propose to go into it now, although it would be
adduced before another tribunal. •

—The case now being completed, the defendant, on
being asked whether he wished to say anything in an-
swer to the charge, replied.; that he should reserve his

defence.
He was then fully committed upon this charge also.
The solicitor to Mr. Klaber, of the lucifer match
warehouse, in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-circus,
waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of stating
that his client had removed from his premises all the
articles of an obnoxious description, and only retained
those which could not offend in any way, and that
he had determined to limit the quantity warehoused
on the premises to five tons—an arrangement, which
it was to be honed, would be satisfactory to the
neighbourhood. His client had closed up the win-
dow from which the effluvium had escaped into the
premises of the medical gentleman in Finsbury-circus,
who had made the complaint, and also constructed a
zinc funnel to the top of the house.
The Lord Mayor said it was quite impossible that
shuocohda.rrangement could be satisfactory to the neighbour-
' at all events, he did not consider it to be a suffi-
cient security against the public danger, and he there-
ofo,r,e_r rsoved that the case of Mr. Klaber, as well as that
.Bell, who kept the lucifer premises in Cannon-
street, should go before another tribunal, to which he
Cons*
should formally
gn them next week.

Mr. Corrie said he thought the wisest plan for appli-
cant would be to take back the SI. odd which had been
offered him.
applicant thanked his worship, saying that he would
follow his suggestion.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Thomas
O'Keefe, alias Turenne O'Kiel, and Tureene O'Keefe, alias
O'Kiel, father and son, were brought before Mr. Bing-
barn for further examination, charged with having
conspired to obtain money, amounting to 5501., from
Priscilla East, by fraudulent pretences.
The particulars of the case have already been published.
The eldest prisoner, according to the evidence of Miss
East, contrived to introduce himself to her to pass him-
self off as a single man, to offer marriage, and when his
offer was accepted, to extract from the lady at various
times, and under various pretences, nearly 6001. The
son was introduced as the nephew, and he countenanced
the false pretence that his father's name was Turenne
O'Kiel, and that he was a single man. The father, it
turned out, has a wife still living in Ireland.
Mr. Morgan was for the complainant; Mr. Parry for
the prisoners.
Mr. Morgan made a preliminary statement that he
charged father and son with combining, by false preten-
ces. to obtain money from Priscilla East.
The marriage settlement of the prisoner with the
daughter of George Hughes of Dublin was put in. The
prisoner was described in this deed as Thomas William
O'Keefe, formerly of Oporto.
Mr. Morgan was proceeding to examine Miss East on
the subject of the promissory note she received from the
prisoner for the money obtained from her, when
Mr. Bingham advised the solicitor to confine himself
to the chare of obtaining money under false pretences.
Mr. Bingham said the point for him to consider was
whether the money was advanced as a loan on the pro-
mise that he prisoner would marry the complainant. If
that was the fact, according to the evidence of the com-
plainant, there was a prima facie case for a jury. The
question would then arise as to the condonation of the
fraud.
Mr. Parry would not press that part of the case, as
he had strong opinions on the question of condonittion.
However, as the curt had expressed an opinion on the
subject, he should not carry his cross-examination any
further.

Mr. Bingham thought the case must be decided by a
jury, but there must become additional evidence to show
that the prisoner's wife was still alive.
Mr. Morgan would ask for a remand, as is would be
necessary to get that evidence from Dublin.

Mr. Bingham would, for that purpose, remand again
fora week.

After a short consideration, Mr. Bingham decided on
refusing bail for the father, and admitting the son to bail

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.

The Ebor Handicap is at present the chief event
touched upon, Heapy being the most conspicuous in the
bett_ng, but is anything but steady in the inark,,t. At
the commencement of the week 7 to 1 might have been
obtained with ease, but, mushroom-like, he sprang to 5
to 2 taken, which price *as taken freely yesterday.
To-day, however, he was very tenderly dealt with, 3 to
1 was offered against him, and taken once to a tenner
only, 4 to 1 was afterwards asked. for (as we thought by
way of a feeler), no one offering to back him for anything
like a sum. Grand Inquisitor and Dr. O'Toole were
both firm at their quotations. The Hermit was quite
friendless ; an even 100 was offered on Dawson's lot
against anything bar one ; 6 to 1 was offered on the field
for the St. Leger, and 10 to 1 on the field for the Lea-
mington Stakes, or to give seven against the field. The
following are the latest quotations :
