POLICE INTELLIGENCE

. _
HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday Eliza Jenkins, alias White, was finally exa-
mined, charged by Mr. Hewitt, the master of St. Andrew's
Workhouse, Gray's Inn-lane, with having stolen 43 shirts,
value 6/.
The prosecutor, being sworn, stated that the prisoner was
a pauper in the workhouse. The parish was in the habit of
receiving linen from various army clothiers for the purpose
of making up Shirts for soldiers, and he (the prosecutor) was
privileged to employ the female paupers to do the work, and
he appointed the prisoner as forewoman over the others
when he entrusted her with the linen. On Sunday last a
pawnbroker's duplicate for five shirts was found in the work-
house, which the prisoner claimed, and on beinc, questioned
she confessed that she had pledged others, and she delivered
up 37 duplicates.
Mr. LAING inquired whether he (Mr. Hewitt) was ac-
countable for any losses that might happen in the work-
house ? Mr. Hewitt—The linen was delivered into my Fos--
session, and I am accountable for all my acts, under a cer-
tain salary, by the new Poor Law Bill. The overseers have
no more to do with the management of the workhouse than
a stranger or foreigner.
Mr. James Hodson, foreman to Pratt and Son, army clo-
thiers, of Charing-cross, proved that they were in the habit
of delivering linen at the workhouse, which he marked, and
that the shirts produced consisted of their linen.
A host of pawnbrokers proved that the shirts produced
(43) was pledged by the prisoner in the name of Ann and
Mary White, from the month of September to the present
month. The prisoner said nothing in her defence, and she
was fully committed for trial.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
The office was yesterday crowded to hear the examina-
tion of a person assuming the name and rank of Major
Willins, of the 12th Lancers, who is charged with having
defrauded a number of tradesmen by false representations.
In the event of the prisoner's discharge a number of
sheriff's officers were in attendance with writs against him.
Mr. Hayes, upholsterer, of Bond-street, who was the
cause of the apprehension of the prisoner, produced an
authenticated document to Mr. Chambers, by which it
appeared that a true bill had been found against him that
morning at the Westminster Sessions for felony.
Before the prisoner was placed at the bar a gentleman
told Mr. Chambers that he had received a letter from
Bath, requesting him to see the prisoner, as it was suspected
that the prisoner was a person who had been swindling
tradesmen in Bath about three years ago.
The prisoner having been put to the bar, the gentleman
said, " This is the man. He has been travelling over all
parts of the kingdom levying taxes upon tradespeople. My
name is Marshall, a tailor and draper in Bath. The pri-
soner called on me about three years ago and obtained
goods. He gave the name of Willis then."
Prisoner—l gave the name of Williams. I never went
by any other name.
Mr. CHAMBERS—What is the name you went by before
that of Williams ? Prisoner—l shall not answer that
question.
Mr. Sanderaon—His own name is Levi. He obtained
goods from me as Major Kerr. He said he was the son
of the Marquis of Lothian, and had three suits against his
relatives in the county session. I found out that all this
was untrue.
Prisoner—You have got security for every farthing I
owe you.
Mr. Sanderson—l certainly have a sort of mortgage
on some houses which your wife has a reversionary interest
in ; but I do not know if the security is worth anything
yet. You gave me a forged bill, which bill I have in mY
possession now.
Mr. CHAMBERS—I cannot take notice of any simple
contract matters ; if any one present can show any felony
or false pretence, I am ready to hear him.
A Tradesman—He represented himself to be Major
Willins.

......
Mr. CHAMBERS—That is only a bare lie, and a tradesman
is supposed to be in a situation to detect anything of that
sort ; but to make it a felony there must be some sort of
false token. The prisoner must have produced a bill, or
something of the kind. There is no charge before me
against the prisoner ; he therefore stands committed on the
certificate of indictment.
Several persons came forward claiming property from the
prisoner. One claimed several horses, another the lease of
stables, and another some cabriolets.
The prisoner promised to enter into an arrangement,
and was then removed.

MAR YLEB ONE.
Yesterday Mr. Carter, the barrister, residing at No. 4,
Langford-place, Lisson-grove, was summoned before Mr.
Hosams, charged with keeping a dangerous and ferocious
dog, which had torn the trousers of a gentleman's servant
named Richard Bell, residing in the same vicinity.
Mr. HOSKINS (to defendant)—You must keep the dog
muzzled ; and I should recommend you to make the com-
plainant a suitable recompence.
Defendant—l'm sorry I can't comply with your request.
I have no objection to make the man a recompense, but I
cannot upon all occasions have the dog muzzled when he
goes out.

Mr. Hosxms—Then I shall 'require you to find security
to keep the peace, that his Majesty's subjects may not be
bitten by your dog.
Defendant—l have no bail with me. Am Ito Consider
myself in custody ?
Mr. Ilosxms—Certainly.
After being detained about an hour the defendant was
was liberated on entering into his own recognizance of 501.
Joseph Jackman, William Summers, and William Ayers,
three men in the employ of Mr. Runey, artists' colour my
nufacturer, of Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, were brought
before the sitting magistrates, Messrs. SHUTT and Hos-
KiNs, on a warrant, by Dutch, an officer of , the establish-
ment, charged on suspicion of having poured a quantity of
spirits of turpentine over one of their fellow-workmen,
named William Kibble, and then setting fire to it, by which
the poor fellow was so frightfully burnt as to leave scarcely
a hope of his recovery.
The prisoners asserted their innocence, and said that
the occurrence must have been accidental. They all as-
sisted in extinguishing the flames.
Mr. SHUTT—Can the sufferer identify any of the pri'
soners as having committed the offence ? Brother—l don't
think be can, though he strongly suspects them.
Mr. SHUTT—When will your relative be able to attend*
do you think? Brother—Really I can't say. I'm afraid
he'll never live.
Mr. SHUTT—There is no evidence upon which I can
detain the prisoners, and they will be discharged upon pro'
raising to attend when called upon.
The brother suggested that they should be held_to bad;
but this was refused, and they were discharged.
