POLICE.

MAiti.BOROUO-STREET.-011 S3turday a young
'Man, named Samuel Rutherford, was charged with
burgiariously entering the Cellar 'of the Red Lion'
public-bouse, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn-
fields, in'company with two other persons, at present
unknown, and stealing thereout several dozen of red
and white wine.
It appeared in evidence, that in consequence of
the watchmen in the neighbourhood of Great Wild-
street having suspeaed that the vicinity was infested
with thieves, they had been for 'the last few nights
past more alert and vigilant in their office than usual.
Their suspicions were but too-well confirmed; on
Saturday morning, about three o'clock, the watch;.
man of that particular beat, on going his rounds;
found that the iron bars which proteded the front of
the Prosecutor's cellar were torn away, and that the
blaze of a candle or lamp was visible below. Thes6
suspicious circumstances being 'heightened by the
voices of men below, deteratined the watchman it
springing his rattle., Having coilected about half a.
dozen of his brother watchmen together, they en-
tered the cellar by the same aperture the thieves had
obtained their admission. Disturbed by this move-
ment, the robbers attempted to make their escape,
and two of them were fortunate enough to slip
through the fingers of five vigilant guardians of the
night. The other, who feigned to be asleep behind
a butt, was secured and carried to the watch-home.
The prisoner was fully cointnitted for trial.

tOMBINATION OF COALREAVERs.

Bow, STREET.-A combination and strike „for. ad-
vance of wages, took place among the Coal,heaversi
belonging to both shores of thellranes, last Mon-
day.

On Saturday four of Mr. Goff's men, of Scotland
yard, were brought by Adkins before Mr. READ and
I, Mr. GRAHAM, charged with the
-above offence. -
P Mr. Goff was called to make out the charge, but
he being one of the persons called. Quakers, refused
to swear, and his affirmation in this charge could
not be received, and on his being told what he had
to. say could not be received, he very good ,
edly replied, he could go nway then.
Mr. Brooke, Mr. Goff 's foreman, however,- pretty
well proved the case ; he stated, that 'on -Monday
-morning neither the Pt 'goners, nor any of Mr: Gqff's
men, came to work. Mr. Golf ordered them to be
sent 'for ; when they came they refused to work, un-
less they were to receive the new prices, or two-
pence more for each chaldron, to a gang of men, be-,
ing the term used for each set of men ; upon which
Mr: Goff observed,, that they Might then go about
their business.
• Although Mr. Goff's evidence could not be re-:
ceived
.upon his affirmation, yet the Magiitrates
thought themselves justified in asking him whether
he said so to the men or not Mr. Goff acknow-
leclzed that he made use of words to that effeet:, The
Magistrates, in consequence, entertained
doubts, whether they did not amount to a discharge,
or ordering them away from their pork; the men,
hoNVever;agreed to return to their,wßritd ,-The deci-
kion on the warrant:was therefore postponed.
