POLICE -INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.— Win. Anderson, who was re-
manded to this day, upon two charges of feloniously ut-
tering acceptances to two bills of exchange, one for
2,000/. and another for 2,480/., well knowing them to
be forged, having been placed at the bar in custody of
John Forrester, the Mansion-house officer,

The Lord Mayor inquired whether there was any
further charge to be made against the prisoner ?
Forrester said he believed there was no person in at-
tendance to make a fresh charge.
Mr. Lambert Van Notten Pole—My lord, it has oc-
curred to me since I gave my evidence upon the former
occasion, that in three or four instances, when the pri-
soner was abroad upon business of his own, my firm
permitted him to draw upqn us on the security of the
documents of the goods of which he went abroad for the
purchase. It did not occur to me at the time the ques-
tion was put to me, but it has since been brought to my
recollection, that he has in three or four instances drawn
upon the house against documents of goods.
The Lord Mayor—Could you state within what time ?
Mr. Pole—The last transaction was about the month
of March last.

The Lord Mayor—But to your belief such has not
been the case since March last.

Mr. Pole—Since March of last year.

The depositions in each of the above cases having been
read over by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, and signed,
the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the
next sessions at the Central Criminal Court.

BOW-STREET.---George Andrews, who stated that
he was formerly a soldier in the 98th Regiment of Foot,
was charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a military
cloak at St. James's Palace, the property of Capt. John
Murray, of the Grenadier Guards.
William Mark, waiter to the Guards mess, stated that
he saw the prisoner walking across the Ambassador's-
yard about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, with the cloak
over his arm, which a few minutes previously witness
had seen hanging over the balustrade in the hall of the
Palace. Witness asked him where he was going with the
cloak ? He replied, "To the Tilt Guard, by the order of
Captain Alexander." Witness detained the prisoner
while he inquired into the truth of this statement ; and
finding that Mr. Alexander had not seen him he gave
the prisoner into the custody of a policeman.
Captain Murray identified the cloak, the original cost
of which was 71. 7s. Witness and his brother officer,
Mr. Alexander, were on guard that day, but neither of
them had given the prisoner any authority to take the
cloak anywhere.
Captain Alexander corroborated this statement.

The prisoner said that some gentleman at the Palace
called to him and said, " Here, my man, take this cloak
to Mr. Alexander, at the Tilt Guard," and this was
what he stated to the waiter at the mess. He should
know the gentleman again if he saw him. lie (prisoner)
had just come up from Brighton, to try and get a pen-
sion, having been discharged from his regiment wounded,
and he went to the Palace to try and see some of the
officers.

The prisoner, who was not known, was then coma.
mitted for trial.

LAMBETH.— William Taylor, a smart well-dressed
young fellow, who described himself as a grocer, was
re-examined on various charges of robbery.
On Friday night last the prisoner entered the shop
of Mr. Lovell, a chemist and druggist in the Walworth-
road, and who also has a post-office at his house, and
asked for 20s. worth of postage stamps, with which he
was served. He then asked for half•a-crow's worth of
receipt stamps, and while in the act of getting the latter
from a drawer, he started off with the postage stamps.
The shopman at once gave him chase, and called out
" Stop thief ;" and being lighter i❑ the heels and a better
runner, he at last came up with him and secured him.
He was then given into the charge of a constable, and
taken to the station-house. Since his apprehension,
upwards of twenty robberies of a similar description
committed by him have come to light, and in some of
the cases the prisoner has thrown a counterfeit sove-
reign on the counter in payment of the stamps and run
away. The time which it took to ascertain whether the
coin was counterfeit or genuine enabled the prisoner to
get beyond the reach of his dupes, and by this means
he was enabled to get off.
The prisoner was committed for trial,
Thomas Brown, alias Bell, who described himself as
a commercial traveller, but known to be both a con-
victed thief and swindler, was again placed at the bar
for further examination on a charge of having first
drugged with some intoxicating, highly-spiced liquour,
and then violated, a young woman named Elizabeth
Marsh.

A number of additional witnesses were called whose
testimony very much strengthened the charge against
the prisoner. Amongst the witnesses present was the
clergyman of the parish of Stock, in Essex, where the
prosecutrix was born, and this gentleman spoke to her
highly moral character from the period of her birth, and
also to the decency and propriety of her parents. He
further spoke from his own knowledge of the prosecutrix
being a person of delicate constitution, and suffering
from an affection of the head.

Edward Wright, who described himself as the keeper
of the Great Western Bazaar or Servants' Registry, and
also an auctioneer and house agent in the Edgware-road,
was also called, and stated that he had known the pri-
soner for four or five months, from his being in the habit
of calling at his place to sell fishing tackle and books.
On Wednesday week he was at his (witness's) office,
when the prosecutrix was there, and heard him tell the
young woman to call on a lady in Duke-street. The
prisoner sent a shilling for some bread and cheese and
ale, and he (the prisone►), witness, and the young
woman, partook of it. They then went to a public-
house in the neighbourhood, where they .had some
gin, and the prisoner and the prosecutrix went
away together. On the following day the prosecu-
trix and her sister came to his house, and asked him if 1
he knew the prisoner, and he replied that he did, and
that he expected him shortly to take away a parcel he
left there on the evening before. They waited there till
he came, and gave him into custody.
In reply to a question from Mr. Norton, Wright ad-
mitted that he had been tried and convicted of a con-
spiracy fn obtaining a sum of money from a young man,
under a pretence of obtaining for him a lucrative situa-
tion, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. He,
denied that it had been his habit to allow persons to re-
main in his office for the purpose of inveigling away and
seducing simple country girls.
Mr. Norton assured him that if be should be found to
do so by the police, who should now have their eye on
his Bazaar, he should find himself again in a very awk-
ward condition.

After a lengthened examination the prisoner was again
remanded, and at the next examination it is the inten-
tion to take the depositions in two cases of extensive
fraud against him.

LINENDRAPERS', SILK-MERCERS', &C., INSTITUTION.
The ball usually held at this season in aid of the funds of
this society, took place at Willis's Rooms, St. James's,
on Thursday, when, notwithstanding the severity of the
weather, its members and friends mustered in great
numbers. The increasing usefulness of the institution
as manifested by the relief afforded to its distressed
members, and the highly satisfactory report of the com-
mittee of investigation into the affairs, which it is known
is about to be submitted to the members, led to an in-
creased interest, as was fully proved by the generous
support of the leading houses of the metropolis. The
efforts of Mr. Adams and his efficient band, with Mr,
Henderson as the master of the ceremonies, and the re.
fre shments provided by Messrs. Willis, afforded perfect
satisfaction to nearly 400 persons.
