POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

DIARYLEB .
A COUNTRYMAN IN LONDON...—, Yesterday John Whittaker,
a young man well known to the police, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Hoskins, charged with having, by stratagem, ob-
tained a 51. note, and a change of linen, the property of Mr.
Wm. Rashaw, a farmer of Hooknorton, Oxfordshire, who had
come to London on business

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and another
sharper fell in with the prosecutor at the public-house where
he put up at Paddington. After a long political discussion
the subject turned u'on the various devices put in prac-
tice ty the London thieves and sharpers to entrap the un-
wary, at the conclusion of which the prisoner and his con-
fedei ate, with much apparent zeal and friendship, exhorted the
prosecutor to take especial care that he was not taken in.
In the course of the conversation the prosecutor disclosed
his name and address, hinting that if he wanted a five-pound
.
note or so during his stay town he had only to write to his
wife, and she would remit it to him. The sharpers profiting
by this intimation, resolved to, be beforehand with him, and
having fabricated the farmer s signature to a letter requesting
that a 51. note and a change of linen might be immediately
forwarded to the William the Fourth, Exeter-street, Liston-
grove, they directed it to the farmer's wife and despatched it
by post, The good lady lost no time in complying with what
she supposed to be her husband's request, and a parcel con-
taining the property above specified, was sent off and safely
arrived at its place of destination, from whence it was fetched
away by the prisoner, who assumed the prosecutor's name.
The farmer on reaching home was asked by his wife if he
had received the parcel safe, and she learned with surprise
that lie had not only never received it, but that he had never
written, and pronounced the letter to be a forgery. He then
posted back to London and gave such information to the police
as enabled them to capture the prisoner with the parcel in his
possession, not having had sufficient time to dispose of it.
The property having been identified by the prosecutor, the
prisoner was remanded to afford time to apprehend his con-
federate, who is said to be a cab-driver.
