POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Green and Booth, young men well known to the police
as connected with a gang of housebreakers, banking-
house skulkers, and omnibus pickpockets, were brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed
Mrs. Elizabeth Fox of a purse containing ten sovereigns
and nine shillings in silver. The prisoners closely
watched every part of the evidence, and cross-examined
most of the witnesses for the prosecution.
Mrs. Fox, of South-street, West-square, Lambeth, and
her husband, got into a Wellington omnibus on Wednes-
day, at half-past five o'clock, at Stones-end in the
Borough, to proceed to Shoreditch. Booth and Green
immediately followed them, and the former sat next to
the lady, while the latter took his seat on the opposite
side. The omnibus had reached Bishopsgate-
street when Mrs. Fox took her handkerchief
from her pocket for a moment, and found
that her purse was safe, but upon returning it to her
pocket she missed her purse and its valuable contents.
Booth bad, at the time she missed her property, quitted
the omnibus, and Green was at his heels. Mr. Fox
upon hearing his wife cry out that she was robbed of her
purse by one of the en-n who bad just got out, darted
atter them, and the y were both apprehended. Subse-
quently the purse was taken with a pair of tongs from
a grating over which Booth had been taken into custody.
All the money was in it.
Mr. Fox said, as soon as he heard of the loss his wife
sustained, he seized Green, who was following Booth, and
was on the step of the omnibus, by the tail of his coat.
Green said at once, "It is not me; it is that man with
the blue trousers," pointing to Booth, who was running.
Witness then let Green go, and followed Booth, and
Green accompanied him some distance. When witness
captured Booth. Booth said to him, " What do you
charge me with?" and upon being answered, declared
that he was a perfect gentleman, and was determined
to spend 1,0001. to punish the person who had the
ito-
pudence to lay hold of Lim and charge him so inju-
riou4.—(A laugh.) The attention of a policeman who
came up was pointed to Green, who was running off in
another direction, but was apprehended in the witness's
view.

Booth—l did say I would punish you severely, for
you not only falsely charged me, but 3 ou seized me
with great violence by the collar.
Mr. Fox—l certainly was determined not to let you
go. I followed you up too close, and you threatened
me, but I care nothing about that.
Booth—Did you see me drop the purse?
Mr. Fox—No, but nobody else could have dropped it.
William Maxwell, conductor of the omnibus in which
the robbery took place, said that when the omnibus
stopped in Bishopsgate-street, Booth said, " I will get
out, ' which he did by jumping out, after having paid a
fourpenny piece, for the penny out of which he did cot
wait, but ran off es rapidly as he could. The lady then
cried out, that man has robbed me;" and Green said,
" Yes he has, and there he goes, I will run after him,"
which he did, without stopping to pay his fare. Wit-
ness ran after Green, and fur a moment lost sight of
him; but on going towards the omnibus observed him
running in an opposite direction. Witness said, " I
want my fare," and added, " You are one of the men
concerned in that robbery;" to which he replied, " No,
I am not; the officer has taken him—it is all right."
A policeman then took Green into custody.
Green—Upon my honour, I know nothing at all of
this person (pointing to Booth).
Booth—Certainly not; and I know nothing of you.—
(Laughter.)
Green—lf such a thing as a robbery had taken place,
and I was in it, is it likely I should join in pursuit? It
is quite ridiculous to suppose such a thing.
The policeman who apprehended Green said he saw
the prisoner running at the top of his speed, and dodging
in and out amongst the vehicles until taken into custody,
when he struggled to escape.
The Loan MAYOR—These prisoners deny that there
has been anything at all against their characters. Lot
me hear what the police have to say about them.
Furnall, an experienced officer, said he had known
Green these six years as the associate of thieves of the
worst description. At first Green was a costermonger,
and was constantly in the habit of driving housebreakers
about in his cart, but he was now one of themselves.
Haydon, the officer, said he had known Booth in the
name of Michael Co to have been convicted, and sen-
tenced to twelve month' imprisonment, for having robbed
a lady in Gray's Inn-lane of her purse.
Other officers were ready to bear testimony to the same
effect.
The LORD MAYOR, in remanding the prisoners for
the purpose of giving opportunity to other accusers to
appear against them, took occasion to allude to the faci-
lities rendered by omnibus travelling to the well. dress( d
ond ingeoios thieves of the metropolis, and particulArly

cautioned visitors to banks to be rii!Lnt, as the whole of
the rergi, s of a thiei 't; mind wore directed to the jo"
reotiuu of mom ethcLuz,l Juod.s of depredation.

MARYLEBONE:
Mr. George John Kan, a solicitor, rcsidirg in the
vicinity of this court, was brought before Mr. Longs
charged with then following outrage upon Mr. Henry
Israel, a solicitor's.,cl.llc, who, in cons( quence of the
serious injury he ba4 received, was incapacitated from
attending to give evidence.
Mr. John Kemshall, landlord of the Star and Garter,
Edgeware-road, depose d; that, on Thursday night,
about half-past twelve o'clock, the prisoner and Mr.
I9rael were in his house, drinking together, at the front
of the bar. Some words ensued between them, and
witness, hearing a disturbance, came out of the parlour
to inquire into the cause of the row. In passing
into the bar he saw the prisoner strike Israel twice la
the face with his fists. They (ought together for
some minutes, when Lien was knocked down by Is-
rael. Keen speedily got up, and called out that he had
had enough. They then shook hands and made up th°,
quarrel. Keen then sat down on a form in the front of
the bar. He subsequently got up and proceeded across
the bar, towards where complainant was standing. A.
person, by the name of Hallet, who was standing at the
bar, called the attention of witness to the prisoner, svh(P
had the iron gas key, a most formidable instrument,
about five feet long, in his
.band. With this instrument
he struck Israel on the head. Witness ran towards the
prisoner, and tried to get the gas key from him. The
prisoner called out " Murder." and was so violent that
it took three persons besides himself to wrest the deadly
weapon from him (the prisoner). Witness then sent for
a surgeon to dress Mr. Israel's wound, and the prisoner
was given into the custody of a police-constable.
Mr. Edward Gay, surgeon, No. 1, Cambridge-terraces
Hyde Park-gardens, said on Thursday night be WO
called into the Star and Garter, where he saw a person
by the name of Israel (the prosecutor), who was bleed-
ing from a wound in the bead. Witness examined hit*
and found a wound on the left side of the frontal boner
about two inches in length, which, in his (witnesee)
opinion, might have been inflicted by the iron iustrw
meta produced. The wound was of a very serious nt
Lure, and he could not, with safety to himself, at present
leave his home. _ . _

Several other parties gave evidence in support of the
charge, and they were cross-examined at some length
by. Mr. Cooper, the solicitor who attended for the
prisoner.
Mr. Lox° asked what answer there was to the charge?
and

Mr. Cooper replied that he had no witnesses present,
and he had now no answer to make to the charg''•
Upon a future day he should, no doubt, be preparir
with certain witnesses who would throw an entirely dii"
ferent light upon the matter. In the absence of the
jured party all that he (the Learned Gentleman) could
look for was that his client might be liberated upon 1116
giving bail to insure his attendance on another day.
Mr. LONG held the defendant in bail in 3001. and tev°
sureties in 1.501, each for hit attendance on Saturday
next.
