POLICE.

Bow-STater.—Three men of mean appearance, 1
of the names of Rob. Stevenson, a journeyman in
Leadenhall-market, Henry Woodman, who stated
himself to be groom to a French Marquis in Charles- i
street, Middlesex Hospital, and who lodged at No.
13, Windmill-street, and George Armes, who stated
himself to reside at 14, Berkeley-square, and to bea
gentleman.intimately acquainted with the Duchess
of Manchester, and who kept his own servant, were
brought to this Office. The appearance of the lat-
ter Prisoner was groom-like, and there happened to
be a person in the Office who knew him to be an
inferior clerk at the office of Messrs. Cox and
Greenwood, and informed the Magistrate of that
fait. On being interrogated, he confessed having
given a false representatiorr of himself, and that
' all he knew of the Duchess of Manchester was, that
his mother was a servant •in her Grace's family.—
The charge against the defendant Stephenson, was,
that he was running up and down the benches in
the pit with 0. P. in a redcap, and exciting tumult.
The defendant on being taken, confessed having
gone into the pit with Mr. Turner, a Salesman, in
Leadenhall-market, who gave him four shillings for
his admission, upon condition, that he was to wear
the red cap, with the 0. P. Mr. Morris, a poulter-
er, in Bishopsgate-street, and a person of the name
of Blackman, also a poulterer, were of the party
with-the defendant, Stephenson ; and another man,
who was also paid four shillings by them, for his act-
mission, and to wear a whi(e cap with 0. P. The
charges against Woodman and Stephenson were for
exciting tumult in the pit, by sounding a whistle,
and the whole were committed.
__

A person of the name of Millar, of Millman-
street, an Attorney's Clerk, and a sturdy O.P. man,
was held in sufficient sureties to keep the peace to-
wards a Mr. Grace, for sending him a challenge to
On Saturday night a man stated here, that he had
been extremely ill treated in the Pit o(Covent.Gar-.
den Theatre. He said he went in at kill price, and he
had no sooner got to the side of the Pit, than i,e was
pushed against by a Gentleman, who he undersioud
since to be Mr. White,- jun, of Park-street, West-
minster, who gave him a violent blow on hi, head;
he remonstrated with Mr. White, and he struck him
again having recovered himself, he gave Mr. White
in charge of an officer,' from whom, he made his
escape. He, hol.,,ever, a short time after seized Mr.
White, and was bringing him to the Office, and had
got him into the passage of the Pit, when he was at-
tacked by a Gentleman, saying, as Mr. White was
not in the custody of a constable, he had no right
to go with him, and then assaulted-him, and rescued
Mr. White from him. The Gentleman who res-
cued Mr. White and assaulted him„ was Captain
Hewetson of Battersea. The Magistrate informed
him, that all that could be done in the business,
would be granting a warrant for the assaults against
Mr. White and Mr. Hewitson, which was accord-
ingly done.

GUILDHA LL,. •-•" Yesterday Joanna , Fivne was
charged by Mr. Newman, the keeper of Newgate,
with aiding and assisting Cornelius- Sullivan, one of
the condemned criminals who is- appointed for exe-
cution on Wednesday next, with attempting to a-
ka his escape: frcqn the goal. .
Mr. Newman stated, teat on Sunday there was a
condemned sermon preached in the gaol ; there
were a great number of strangers present, and not
less than 300 natives oliteland; Sullivan and Fitz-
gerald, who are to suffer for the same crime—that
of a rape on an old woman, the mother of twelve
children—were excused from attending, on account
of their professing the Roman Catholic persuasion ;
when the sermon was over, the strangers withdrew,-
but it was the custom of the prison that they. were
only permitted to pass one gate until the prisoners.
Were mustered ; on their mustering,, it was disco-
vered that one was missing, which was immediately
known to be Sullivan ; he was afterwards discovered
between the first and second gate, in woman's.ap.
parel, by one of the turnkeys. The only charge he
'had against the Prisoner was, that it had been re-
ported
to him that she came into the prison with a
bonnet on, and was leaving it without one.
One of the turnkeys stated, that he was at the
second door, and hearing from within that one of
the condemned prisoners was missing, he looked
round, but could not perceive one of them. Sulli-
van stood next to him, but so well disguised in the
habit of a female, that he aaually thought he was a
woman ; he had a pair of pattens in his hand. "I he
turnkey on passing him laid his hand on his arm,
which he felt was much agitated, and trembling vio-
lently ; he, as if by accident, put his hand on his
petticoats, and discovered his fetters, and secured
him.
The Prisoner denied having carried in the clothes
to Sullivan, but said she had known the boy, (mean-
ing the Prisoner,) two years, and she went to the
Prisoner, wishing to give him all the comfort id her
power; it was the first time she had 'been in a gaol
since she left Ireland, and she could prove, that she
never wore a bOnnet in all her life ; but she should
know the woman who carried the clothes to Sulli-
van, if she saw her.
A woman proved that she had known the prisoner
several years, and -that she never knew her to wear
a bonnet.

The Sitting Magistrate discharged the prisoner, on
her promising, if she could find out the WOlnail, who
brought the clothes into the prison, that she would
inform Mr. Newman of it.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A complaint was made
at this Office a few days since by a Gentleman of
the name of Looten, from the Edgware-road, against
a roan of the name of Smith, who had obtained a
service in his family by means of a false charaEter.
Mr. Looten wrote to Captain Mahony, at Stokes-
buildings, Hackney-road, to whom Smith referred,
and he received a very satisfactory answer. This
Captain Mahony, however, on inquiry, ,instead of
being a gentleman, as was represented, turned out
to be a Captain of the kod and mortar Company.—
During the complainant's enquiries, he ascertained
that discarded servants have a house fitted up in the
neighbourhood of Portland-road, for the purpose of
giving chara&ers, and which is as regularly condat-
ed as a mercantile concern, and supported by the

depredations of those in place. The defendant,
Smith, was taken on Tuesday, and committed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--A charge was heard at
this office on Saturday, instituted by Sir William
Abdy, against two female servants and a butler, who
had formerly been in his service. It appeared by
the testimony of Sir William, thot his house
in Brook-street was left in care of the two women
prisoners, the butler having been discharged from
his service six months ago. On the complainant's
arrival in London,
,he discovered that, a considerable
quantity of champagne, burgundy, claret and other
wines had been stolen from his cellar, and it turned
out chat_ the butler paid frequent visits to the female
servants. There were other strong circumstances
of suspicion against the prisoners, which it would
be imprudent at present to state, and they were
remanded for another examination.

QUEEN- s QUA R . —Yesterday Andrew M'Mahon,
Esq. Barrister at Law, preferred a serious charge
against Joseph Maddox, a publican residing in King-
street, Westminster, for having in combination
with divers persons unknown, without any provoca-
tion, violently assaulted •him. It appeared by the
statement' of the complainant, that on Saturday
night he was repeatedly knocked down at the De-
fendant's door, by him and others, with an intention
to take away his life, which the watchman on that
station casually interposed to prevent. The wounds
and contusions on the Prosecutor's head and visage
were awful to behold. He appeared pale and languid
by the loss of blood.—Amidst a great pressure of
business, Henry Fielding, Esq. called the unfortunate
Gentleman before him, and very feelingly enquired
into the case of his complaint, when upon hearing
the evidence of both parties, adjudged the case made
out against the Defendant fully sufficient to hold
him to bail. for the violent assault at the ensuing
sessions.

Tit AM ES-OrPic E.-I.rest erd ay IT Winn Spiers, a
coal-porter, was committed for trial to Horsecnonger-
lane, at the next Surrey Assizes, charged with steal-
ing out of the granaries of Mr. Richmond, of Ro-
therhithe, a quantity Gloats stopped upn him by
Evans, one of the officers of the institution.

Mr. Richmond deposed, that the losses he has sus-
tained
are incalculable.

A watchman, left in charge of Downs's wharf,
East Smithfield, was committed to the House of
Correction for broaching a cask of spirits, and get-
ting drunk.

WRITECHirEL.—Anionio Beranno, a sailor, was
charged by Alexander Harvey; with knocking hitii
down in Well-street, Wellcipse-square, and robbing
him of a silver. watch. It being a strong case, he
j. was fully committed for, trial.

GUI 4IILIALL, Nov. m..-jahn, Crook and ./ohn
Silvester were brought before the Silt lug Alderman
(SCHOLEY), charged with stealing a-silver watch. It
appeared that the Prosecutor went into the Red
Lion public-house, in Smithfield, on Thursday night,
•to inquire for a lodging he had not been many
minutes in the room, in which were no other per-
sons except the Plisdners and himself, when Crook
came up to him, snatched his watch • ont of his
pocket, and immediately ran out of the house, be-
fore the Prosecutor, who has an impediment in hiS
speech, could make known his loss.• Silvester ran
oil' at the same time Crook did they were pursued,
and Silvester was, stopped by the patrole, running
down Cow-lane ; on searching••him •a watch was
found in his waistcoat pocket,- which he said he
had found just on the outside of the Red Lion door.
The Prosecutor swore to the watch being his, and
the same which Crook had taken from him. The
Prisoners were both fully committed for trial.
Several persons were charged with disorderly con-
duct, during the procession of the Lord Mayor,
from Blackfriars to Guildhall, and several on suspi-
cion of picking ,pockets ;, one, named Abrahams,
was fully committed for picking a Gentleman's
pocket of his pocket-book, while he was standing
to see the Lord Mayor land at Blackfriars.

On Saturday a bankrupt, who had been previously
committed to Newgate by the Commissioners for
not giving a satisfaaory account of his property,
underwent ,another examination at Guildhall, when
it appeared that he had sold a horse since his bank-
ruptcy, to a person in Blackfriars-road ; he had not
however, received the money for it. There were se-,
veral other
.suspicious circumstances attached to his
condnd, and he was again sent to Newgate.
Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a young man,
named Lasenby, undertook, for a wager of five gui-
neas, to run from Moorgate to the Angel at Isling-
ton and back again, and to repeat the same ground,
the whole distance being 6 miles, in forty minutes;
which he completed in five minutes less than the
given time.
Mr. Hill, of Whitton, near Hounslow, who
died on Thursday last, has left property to the enor-
mous amount of eight hundred thousand pounds.—
He has bequeathed, we understand, 360,0001. each
to two Gentlemen who concluded his business, and
40,0001. to a Clergyman, his acquaintance.

Fox CLIACE.—On Thursday last the old Berkshire
hounds had a most capital and extraordinary run.—
They unkennelled their fox in Headington Furze,
soon. after ten ; and after pressing him, at a very
shaft) pace, he swam the Cherwell in the neigh-
bourhood of Woodeaton, came up the meadows,on
the Oxford side to Holywell Church, where he was
so dead beaten, that his only refuge remained in
climbing on the roofs of houses like a cat, from
which, hOwever, he was soon dislodged, and then'
ran up Holy well-street in full view, with about
three couple of hounds close at his brush. He then
turned short to the right, went into the back part of
Wadham College, and was finally taken in the par-
lour'of Mrs. Wall, in Holy well, and there bagged.
So singular a fox-chace was, perhaps, never wit,
nessed by the oldest inhabitant, and a very large
concourse of people assembled to see. him given to
the hounds in the fields near Miley.
