POLICE.

GtILDITALL, Auci. 15.-;--A young _ man, named
Hugh Thomas, the servant of Mr. Rider, tobacconist,
in West Smithfield, was fully. committed for trial, on
a charge of. stealing several.pounds of tobacco from
his master's shop. The Prisoner was deteeted in the
Wt, in consequence of some private information
ceived by, his Master, and inantedimely taken into
custody.• ,
• Mr. M6ss, the Landlord of (he Angel
Its t;' Isling-
ton, was put to the bar, on a charge of a viOlent as-
sault on the person of a man named Wellermore, on
Monday night. The Complainant stated -b; telly,
that on. Monday evening he was walking along
Cheapside, when he was accosted by the Defen-
dant in a very rude Manner.. Thinking it necessary
to demand some explanation of th&Defendant's con,
duet, the latter became very quarrelsome ; and With-,
out any provocation whatever, thought proper to
administer to the Complainant's back a very Severe'
drubbing.. The guardians of the night being at
band, Mr.
_Wellermore resorted to their -aid, con-
cluded tlo the Poultry Q6mpter, where
he was providediwith lodging for the might. Mr.
Weliermore wished to represent very strongly to the
Magistrate, that the Defendant' and himself Weke
both very sober at the time of this transaetion.

• ,Lhis siaternent Appeared perfealy consistent until
/Mr. KIaBY, the Keeper of the Compter) observed;
that Mr. Wellermore had this morningieceived 5).
from another person in costody, who was hro6ght
into 'the,Compter on Monday night,-in ,a stale ot in-
toxiconon, as a compensation for the injury alleged
to have been done by Mr. Muss.

This circumstance waif hilly proved by Mr.Skeut-
ly, the gentlethan v?oo. stated, that hay.•
tog becowe rather inebriated on Monday niglit; he
was taken io the •Compter in a state of iuseusibility,
from winch be did nut recover until this morning,
w! en lie round he was detained ott a surge of as.,
fault, alleged to have been committed by him on
the person Of the coMplain:lnt, Mr.Weilertnore. Ai-
thpugh unconscious of the offence., he expressed a
wThingucss to boinprornise the. affair, and Otiered
114. Weiletutore 61., which the, latter immediately
accept,u, and he' was forthwith distitissed.

Iu coo.eque,ce of this representation of the case
as against Mi. 11,1oSs, and the inconsistency of Mr.
Wellermo;e in his stateviicntohe Worthy Magistiate
dismissed the complaint, and adjudged Mr. Weller-
more w disgorge the 51. he had obtained from Mr.
Skently.
'Mr. Skently was 'then charged with riotous and
disolideriy conduct, in assaulting a .watchman in
Cheapside, which was the real cause of hid imprison-.
ruent, and not upon the charge of Mr.Weliermore.
The Magistrate dismissed Will -upon. the watchman's
agreeing to take a 'pecuniary compensation,- for- his
grievance,.

MartLßoßouGu-sTrttET Poucc,-OvFicE.—Yes-
terday a man of the name of. Sown was charged
With obtaining a service in the family of Vincent
Coope, Esq. in the New Road, by means of a false
reference. It appeared that the Defendant had got
into the family, from an .otfice tor the hire of ser-
vants, and stated b himself to Have lived two years in
the family of a Mrs. Malcolth, in Hackney. A
letter cf inquiry was sent, and an unexceptionable
chara&er was received by Mr. Coope. It happened,
however, within three weeks, that the Defendant's
condna was very suspicious; and on inquiry it
turned out that a washer-woman, who officiated at
Mrs. Malcolm's, had taken in the letter, and con-
veyed it to a porter
.in the family of the name of
Job, who answered it. The DA)tidant was com-
mitted, but Job has absconded.

BOW-STREET:-Two persons, calling themselves
Joseph, Hitch and Maria were examined be;
fore J. READ, Esq. on 'a Charge of stealing a quantity
of feathers out of the beds.at diderent Hotels where
they went to sleep, and 'which they effected in the
following way Prisoners, wino are _persons
.of'
respeetable appearance, used to,go to the hotels in
the, evening, the. man carrying a small trunk, and
desire to have a bed, stating that they were.just
come to town, but always expressing a wish to have
a large one, and each Owe they wept to the same
house, making sonic excuse t€ have a different bed:
On Friday night last they slept aft he George's Coffee-
house, Coventry-street, and were put into a very
large bed, which-ihe servant-, on making the next'
morning, found half empty, ivher4upon she Com-
tliunitated her suspicions to her master, and
recol-
leaing that the Prisoner had been there four or five
Aitpes'belote, they examined the other beds they had
occupied, and in all of which they found a very Con-
siderable deficiency of feathers, On Saturday night
Pearks, one Of. the rßowirreet officers, traced the
prisoners to the Bath hotel, the corner of Atlington-
street, Piccadilly, .t.vhere be'let then) rest quietly till
.SundaY; and when the man came down stairs, with
.his trunk in his hand, took him into custody, add on
.searching the trunk found therein two.pillow-cases
crammed
:full of feathers, and .which appeared to
have been taken out of the bed in which they had
slept. In the trunk was also some wet rags, used to
'wipe up the feathers that' might scatter in the ope-
ration of taking them out of -the bed ; andon the
person of the woman was found -a.needie and ihreadi
tor the purpose of sewing up. the incision made in'
the seam ol.the bed-ticks ; and so neat and 6:an.
bad they heed in their proceedings, that nothing but
the lightness of the,beds, after they had been sivep-
ing in them,
.could have'led to a discovery of their
depreciatioh4.
Pearks learning that the Prisoners had a furnished
'lodging in Silver-street, Golden-Squate, went there,
and found a considerable qUantity of leathers conceal-
ed in a shirt, the sleeves stud collar of Which were'
tied up to form a bag, and several samples of fea-
thers. The landlord .of the house examining hi 3
bed, bolster, and billows,,diseovered that the princi-
' pal part of the feathers had been taken out sinus; the
Prisoners had lodged theme, and that -two silver'
spoons were alsO missing. The Pawnbroker's du-
plicates of, ewo silver spoons were found on the Pri-
soners, I,V-hich`proved to be the same as stolen. The
Prisoners were therefore committed to take their
trial for this offence, and for stealing the feathers
from the Bath Hotel. •

lOrpington Cburch, near•nary (..‘ray, in Kent,was
set on fire by the lightning on Thursday night,
nearly consumed. • •
