POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOIV-STREET.
CIIARGR OF CONSPIRACY.—TIIR " SATIRIST" NEWS-
PAPER.—Mr. Ansel!, the registered proprietor of the
Satirist weekly newspaper, and Miss S. Mills, residing
at Montagu street, Alontagu•square, were charged with
having, on the 18th inst., fraudulently conspired to ob-
tain money from Mr. Herry Bevan.
Mr. Ballantine appeared on the part of the complain-
ant, Mr. Hunter attending as counsel for Mr. Ansel],
and Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, for the other defcr.dant.
Mr. Ballantine said the prisoners were charged under
the 6th and 7thVic.,.c.96. The complainant was a gentle-
man of fortune, having his country-house at Twicken-
ham. The female defendant had, without the slightest
claim upon Mr. Bevan, commenced a systematic attack
upon hire. She had filled the situation of governess in
the neighbourhood of Twickenham, and had often seen
the complainant, but no intimacy whatever existed be-
tween them, except a barn recognition in passing. The
first of the proceedings commenced so far back as Sep-
tember, 1848, at which time she wrote to Mr. Bevan,
reminding him of an application she had already
made to him, that he would be her banker for the sum
of 101. This letter he did not answer, and on the 13th of
November she wrote another letter to the e,omplainant,
asking him if it would suit his views to have his im-
moralities with a third person (meaning a married lady)
exposed to his wire and daughters, at the same time
threatening an exposure of his conduct in a well known
satirical journal, and that copies should be seat to the
different members of his family. Ho afterwards received
another letter from the same source, stating that the
whole affair" should be exposed to his family, unless
he consented to give the writer the money she required.
On the 31st March an article appeared in the
Satiriet, in which an attack was made upon
the charaetcr of a " wealthy Lombard-street
banker," residing at Twickenham, &c., the writer

having evidently thought that the present complainant
was Mr. Bevan, the banker; hut in th3t he was mis-
taken. The Learned Counsel having put in several
letters from the defendants, in order to show to the

Court that they acted together, their common object
being to extort money by threats, quoted the case of
" The Queen v. Hamilton," in which Baron Rolfe ruled
that if reasonable cause 'sere shown the parties con-
cerned might be considered as acting jointly, and were
guilty of felony in sending threatening letters for such a

purpose.
Mr. Henry Bevan deposed to the facts stated by the
Learned Counsel. In cross-examination, the witness
said he never authorised Mr. Finmoro to offer her any
money, but dirt cted him to advertise for her address in
the morning paptrs, with the view of prosecuting her.
Ile ncver gave any nobleman directions to oiler het
money.
Mr. T. Finmore stated that in consequence of a com-
munication from Mr. Bevan, after the 7th inst., he went
to the office of the journal in question, and from thence
to the web) defendant's resiutnce, at No. 7, Bennet-
street, Stamford-street, Blackfriars, where he saw him
on the 13:h, at which time his attention was called to
certain paragraphs contained in the Satirist from the
31st of March until the 7th inst. He told him he was
instructed by Mr. Bevan
,to apply to him respecting
" notices to correspondents" which appeared in that
paper of the above dates, and to take proceedings if
any further attacks appeared. The defendant replied
that nothing libellous had appeared, and he would
take care not to publish any libel. He also said
there were several letters in his possession which ho
intended to publish, and that the first of the series
should appear in the next number. He then handed
witness a number, and pointed out to him an article en-
titled " The Lite and Adventures of Captain Aaron
Smith," saying that was the form in which the publica-
tion would appear. Witness asked him if the letters
had been delivered to him by a female, and his reply
was in the negative. He also said that a female had
called upon him on the 2d inst. respecting the notice
to correspondents that had appeared on 31st March,
but as she refust d to give her name he declined seeing
her. 'Witness then asked him if it was possible to stop
the publication of the letters ; and although he was not
authorised by Mr. Bevan to make any proposal, yet he
thought that probably he might be inclined to submit to
a litt:e exertion in order to stop further publication ;
upon which Mr. Ansell advised him not to have anything
to do ilith the parties, and having then asked him,
whether, in tl.e event of his client being induced to en-
tertain the idea of a compromise, he (Ansell) would
be the medium of endeavouring to effect it, he replied,
" No." The defendant then promised that the publica-
tion of the letters should be postponed, and that they
should not app ear without a previous communication
with him. On the following Monday he received the
letter produced from Bennet-street, informing him that
the first of the articles alluded to would appear in the
next lurk, at the same time furnishing the address of
,he female defendant, and informing witness that he was

about to leave town, and would not be able to see him
again upon the subject. Witness next went to the
female's lodgings, accompanied by a gentlemen, and he
informed her that he had called respecting letters she
had written to Mr. Bevan ; and en asking if she
had any letters of his in her possession, skiii
replied she had not, but that they were undeg
her control. Witness then said that Mr. Bevan might be.
induced to give the 101. for which she hall applied, if she
gave up the letters, with a pledge that no further mea-
.ures should be taken to annoy Mr. Bevan; and he also
said, that should further annoyances cease, he thought
his client might at a future day give a further sum.
Miss Mills, in reply, stated that she considered she
was entitled to the sum of 50/., upon which he promised
to communicate with Mr. Bevan, and write to her upon
the subject. Ho had previously asked her upon what
grounds she made a demand of 101., and her reply was,
as an old friend, and that had Mr. Bevan in the
first instance acceded to her application, she
would not have written the subsequent letters
to him. When she mentioned an " old friend," it was
in reference to the letters she had received. Witness
saw Mr. Bevan afterwards, and on the 18th received
a letter from the male defendant, requesting that
the gentleman from his firm who called on Miss Mills
would come to him at five o'clock, which he declined in
consequence of other engagements, and in the meantime
he took the opinion of counsel. Witness receive

Mr. JARDINE said he considered it a case for the eon-
. sideration of a jury, the conduct of the female differ-
