POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.—SATURDAT.
Mr. George Helmore, jun., coal merchant, St. Peter's-
Wharf, Millbank-street, Westminster, was summoned
before Aldermen Cubitt and Sir R. W. Carden by Mr.
Knott, inspector of weights and measures, for having
sent out for delivery, on September 30, 20 sacks of coals,
weighing less than 224 lbs. each, whereby he had sub-
jected himself to a penalty of 1001 , under the statute 1
and 2 Vim. IV., cap. 75, sec. 57.
Mr; Clarkson appeared for the defendant.
_ .

. _
John Wood, the beadle of Guildhall, stated that on
the 9th September Mr. Knott called his attention to the
defendant's waggon that was delivering coals at the
Retntubrancer s-office, and at his request took a Dote of
the weight of several sacks. There were 33 sacks
weighed, of which 20 wore deficient in quantities of from
4 lbs. to 5 lbs. each, making a total deficiency of 509 lbs.
The remaining 13 sacks were all over the required weight
from 12 lbs. to 18 lbs., making a total surplus of 104
lbs. The carman had delivered 17 sacks before the
w.lighing had commenced.
/4r. Clarkson said he could not deny his client's legal,
liability, as he was responsible for the acts of his ser-
vants, but he contended there was no intention on the
part of the defendant to defraud. The man whose duty
it was to weigh the coals got drunk, and instead of doing
his (lilt; allowed them to be put into the waggon with.
out braving them passed through the scales at all, and
this gaess work accounted for some sacks being less and
some more than their proper weight.
Sir R. W. Carden said this was a matter of great
public interest. There appeared to have been gross care-
lessness on the part of Mr. Helmore's servants, but,
looking at all the facts, the court would take a lenient
course, and would inflict only a nominal fine of 40s. and
cost; and he did this without in the slightest way im-
puting to the defendant the desire to defraud. He hoped
Mr. Helmore would look better after his servants in
future.
Joseph links, coal dealer, of Fetter-lane, was also
summoned by Mr. Knott for not having a machine and
weightsmith his cart at the time of delivering coals.
• Mr. links said he was delivering them within a few
doors of his own house, and if the buyer had desired it,
he would have sent the machine up without delay. He
had no intention to avoid their being weighed, as his
man had just bought them at the Great Northern Coal
Company, and had seen them weighed there.
The court fined him 10s. and costs.
_ _

John Walker, pork butcher, Paved-alley, Newgate-
market, was summoned by Mr. Knott for having a
false balance, which gave him a draft of oz. on each
weighing.
Fined 20s. and coats.
Thvmsa2 Oakes, of the Angel public-house, Fenchurch-
street, was summoned by Mr. Hurward, inspector of
weights and measures, for having four measures not
holding the standard quantity.
Mr. Hurward stated that defendant had been fined
.tha-cOsts of summonses and forfeiture of 17 measures in
1851, and again in 1854 wan fined ss. and forfeiture of
four measures, besides which he had been frequently
cautioned.

Sir W. Carden fined him 20s. and costs, and expressed
a wish that none of his neighbours would deal with him

MANSION-HOUSE.—Fi ancis Swift, an elderly,
gentlemanly-looking man, was brought before the Lord
Mayor upon the charge of embezzling 86/. 12s. 6d., be-
longing to Messrs. Yates and Company of 95, Upper-
Thames-street, to whom he was collecting clerk.
Mr.' M. Young said—l am manager of the Rother-
halt Foundry Company, of which Messrs. Yates and
others are partners. The prisoner was clerk and col-
lector to the firm, and it was his duty to collect such
accounts as were given to him by mo for that purpose,
and to pay to me such sums as he received upon the day
on which'they were paid to him. On the 28th of June
last I sent him to Messrs. Glover, Brothers, of Drury-
laoe, for 86/. 124. 6d. He has not accounted to me for
Ott sum. He left the office on the 28th of June and
never returned. Last night on meeting him in Cannon-
-street„-in custody of the officers, I asked him if be
had any of the money in his pocket, when he replied
that he had not.
Mr. S. Glover—l am an engineer, carrying on busi-

ness at 168, Drury-lane. On the 28th of June last I paid
to the prisoner a cheque on our bankers for 861. 12s. 6d.
on account of the Rotherham Foundry Company, and he
receipted the account produced. The cheque has been
returned to us by our bankers as having been paid, and
is charged in our account with them. The prisoner re-
quested that the cheque should not be crossed.
The prisoner having been asked, after the usual cau-
tion, whether ho wished to say anything in answer to
the charge, replied, " I did receive the cheque. I should
like to see it. (The cheque was shown to him.) That
is the one that I received." _ _

He was then fully committed for trial. .
The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac-
knowledge the receipt of the following.iionation fur the
poor-box :"A thank-offering from M. E.," 1/.

CLERKENWELL.—A
_man, who gave his name
Edward Gosnell, of 2, Nine Elms, Vauxhall, applied to
Mr. Corrie for his advice and assistance under the fol-
lowing circumstances.
He said he had joined the Working Man's Emigra-
tion Society for the purpose of being sent out to South
Australia, and had paid in the subscriptions regularly
and the usual fees, to the amount.of upwards of 221.,
under the faith of being sent out by the society. He had
a wife and six children, and had been in a respectable
situation as an engineer and blacksmith for 20 years.
He had been induced to believe he should he shipped
out to Melbourne, and so gave a fortnight's notice to
his employer to quit his situation. He had thrown him-
self out of work, and was with his family in comparative
distress. He had been backwards and forwards from
Vauxhall to the society's office in Bedford-street, Red
Lion-square, but could not get his ship order, or his
money returned to him, and at length lie received the
following letter from Mr. Soper, the secretary :
" Working Man's Emigration Society.
-"Dear am instructed by the directors to inform
you that there are not sufficient funds to send you and
your family at present, but the directors are exerting them-
selves for that purpose as soon as possible, and will com-
municate with you.—l am, dear sir, yours respectfully.
"R. C. SOPER."

Mr. Corrie said that, a short time ago, Sir John Shel-
ley, Mr. Tubbs, and Mr. Franklin, the trustees, ap-
peared in this court, and promised that the society should
be conducted fairly.
Applicant—l applied to Mr. Franklin, who said he
was a trustee to the society, but ho had nothing to do
with the management of its affairs.
Mr. Corrie said if it was publicly known that such a
society had no funds parties would not subscribe to-
wards it, and.it must certainly drop. He then directed
Mr. Moran, an officer connected with the court, to call
at the society's office and suggest the necessity of Mr.
Soper's attendance, in order to account for such extra-
ordinary proceedings.

MATZLBOROUGH-STREET.—Mr. Henry JO7iPS,
surgeon, residing at No. 23, Soho-square, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with violently assaulting John
Lawday, a conductor of a London and Brighton Rail-
way omnibus. .

'llw complainant, whose right eye was very much cut
and swollen, deposed that on Sunday night the defen-
dant rode with him from London-briegc station to Ite-
genteircus, Piccadilly, where he got out, and refused
to pay the fare, alleging as a reason that witness had told
him he went along Holborn, and would put him down at
Tottenham-court-road. Complainant explained to de-
fendant that he did not go that route. The defendant
then attempted to go away without paying the fare, and
witness prevented him, whereupon he (defendant) struck
him several blows on the head and face. The defendant
never mentioned to him about Tottenham-Court-road
when be got into the " bus." When defendant tried to
run away, ho caught him by the collar, and prevented
him.

The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he
Was at the London-bridge Station on Sunday night,
when he heard the complainant and other con-
ductors calling out " Holborn, " " Oxford-street, "
and " Eigeware-road, " and ho accordingly got
into his " bus, " under the impression he was
going to Holborn. On arriving at Regent's•ciicus he
found he was deceived, and requested the conductor to
let him out. The conductor would not let him go, and
caught hold of him by the c,dlar, which so excited him
that he might have struck him. He was very sorry at
what had occurred, and had not the least intention of
hurting the man.
Mr. Bingham asked complainant whether it was true
that he called out Holborn and Oxford-street ?

Complainant said it was not.
Mr. Bingham said he felt his powers as regards in-
flicting adequate punishment for such a serious assault,
very small. Therefore, if complainant desired it, he
world send the case to the quarter sessions.

Complainant said ho should wish to have the case
dealt with at once.

Mr. Bingham then fined defendant 51. or two months'
imprisonment.
Mr. Jones immediately paid the fine, and left the court.
Philip Peter, a middle-aged man, who refused to give
his address, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged
with annoying the congregation at All Souls Church,
Langha►n-place.
The Rev. Charles Baines, rector of the above church,
said—At 8 o'clock, on Sunday night, as he was about to
administer the communion in his church, the defendant
held out a book, and said, interrupting the proceeding,
—"ln the name of Jesus Christ, brethren, I will tell
you that what you are doing is a sacrifice to idols, and a
profanation." Prisoner was told to desist, and when
asked his name said, "Philip, surnamed Peter." Wit-
ness told him he had committed a serious offence, and
that he (witness) would notwithstanding overlook it, if
he would promise not to do so again. Defendant be-
hayed very quietly, but refused to make any kind of
promise, and he in consequence gave him in charge.
The defendant commenced to talk in an absurd strain,
but was stopped by the magistrate, and was ultimately
discharged, at the request of Mr. Baines, on giving a
promise not to repeat the offence.

MARYLEBONE —Thomas Stevens was charged with
having stolen, at Trinity Chapel, John-street, Edgware-
road, the " poor box," containing silver and copper
moneys, alleged to be the property of the Rev. R.
Herschel.

Eliza Stevenson, one of the pew openers, deposed
that on the previous morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock,
whilst she was in the gallery she heard a noise on the
stairs leading thereto, and on going to see what was
the matter she saw the money box, which bad been
wretched from its fastening, in the prisoner's hand.
She called out thief, upon which he (prisoner) dropped
the box and made off.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

SOUTHWARK.— Was. H. Wild, a sworn broker,
residing at 89, Vauxhall-walk, appeared before Mr. G.
A. A'Beckett to answer the complaint of Rachel Emma
Terry, for irregularities in distraining for rent.
The complainant said—l occupied a room at No. 1,
Gravel-lane, Southwark, up to Tuesday, the 3d of Oct.
On that day I owed 10s. rent, and the landlord told me
that unless I paid him he would put a broker in. I
told him that I would pgy him at ls. per week, if he
liked. He then said he would take that, if I gave him
security. I went out to get the security, and when I
returned I found the whole house empty, and all my
little things gone.
Louisa Carpenter said— I was left in the room by the
last witness. I locked myself in. In a short tiwe the
landlady opened the door with a key, and the broker
(the defendant) walked in, and took the things.
Mr. Nokes, the second clerk, here handed the magis•
trate a paper having the appearance of an official
document.
Mr. A'Beckett, after perusing it a short time, said,
addressing the defendant—This is a most curious and
irregular paper ; who wrote it it
Defendant—lt is the usual way we do things, and it
was done by my man who I usually " put in" on such
occasions.
Mr. A'Beckett—ln this case I believe you acted irre-
gularly, and under the act I order you to return the
goods on payment of the rent, from which 2s. must be
deducted for the summons taken out against you.
Defendant (much surprised)-1" must decline to do
that.
Mr. A'Beckett—Then if you decline to do that I must
order you to pay the value of the goods in excess of
seizure. (To complainant)—What do you value your
goods at I
Complainant—Why, sir, I could not replace them, al-
though they are poor things, under about 2/. I think
it was every disgraceful thing for that man not only to
take my furniture, but also my three little children's
bread and butter ; also all my pawn tickets.
Mr. A'Beckett—l think so too. He had no right to
take such things. I will adjourn this summons ; and
unless the goods are given up for Bs., I will inflict the
penalty as the act directs.

PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLIII3.—The office of com-
modore of this club, vacant by the unexpected and sud•
den retirement of Mr. Berncastle, has been most satis-
factorily filled up by the appointment of Mr. R. Hewitt,
owner of the Gnat, a small but very fast sloop-rigged
yacht, which carried off the purse of sovereigns given
by the Royal London Yacht Club this season. Mr.
Hewitt is well known as an experienced yachtsman, and
it is generally anticipated that under his rule the utmost
unanimity of feeling will soot be found to exist. This
club is very large in number.
