POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO W-STR EET.
Henry E. Russell, who had been for twelve years a
clerk in the Westminster Fire-ofiee, in King-street,
Covent-garden, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged
with embezzling moneys amounting to 8001.
Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, stated that the proseeu-
tion was instituted by the governors and directors of the
Westminster Fire-office CompsnY, but it was his inten-
tion to enter into a minor case only for the present, and
request a remand for a few days-
Mr. IL Hughes, a gentleman residing in Park-street,
Regent's-park, stated that on the 29th of January last
he went to the Westminster-office, and paid the sum of
61. to the prisoner, from whom he received the receipt-
form produced. The payment related to an insurance.
Mr. W. Brown, the secretary to the Westminster Fire-
office, proved that the prisoner was in the employ of the
company in January, and that the printed form produced
was one of the receipts usually given in the office. Wit-
ness had referred to the corresponding number in the
counterfoil from which the receipt-forte had been torn,
but the entry was in a different name, although in the
same handwriting—namely, the prisoner's. No account
was rendered by the prisoner of the payment of 61, de-
posed to by Mr. Hughes. The prisoner left the esta-
blishment on the Bth of February inst., on which day
witness received the following letter in his handwriting.
It was without date, but Russell."

I have
" must at length
been unfortunate enough to do that which is wrong, and
that my account is very considerably minus. I will give
you an explanation tomorrow morning, but to-day it is
impossible. I hope, in consequence of my long,
and I
may add, for a long time,
faithful cervices, that the di-
rectors, in consideration of my family, and circumstances
unknown to them, will be as lenient as possible. I may
also add that nobody is implicated in this matter but
myself."

Upon this evidence his WORSHIP ordered the prisoner
to be remanded for further examination.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
John Williams was charged with having obtained
money from Lord Anson, M.P., by false representations.
His Lordship said the prisoner called on him at his
chambers in the Albany, and asked for assistance on
behalf of a woman named Mary Icing who was repre-
sented to be a native of Lichfield, and in distressed cir-
cumstances. The prisoner produced a subscription list
and some testimonials in support of his application. He
gave the prisoner a soTereiga for the supposed Mary
