POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WE STM ST E •
A fashionably-dressed man, about five feet six
inches in height, of dark complexion,. with black
whiskers, who has passed by the names of Thomas
Tucker, Alfred Sinclair, Barclay, Wilis, Praed, and
other aliases, was charged with defrauding Messrs.
Rogers and Dean, of 23 and 24, St. George's-place,
Knightsbridge, of a great quantity of valuable fur-
niture.
Mr. BURRELL remanded the prisoner, who made nu
reply to the charge, for a week.
Mr. Games asked if he would accept bail ?
Mr. BURRELL replied, certainly not. The prisoner
was charged with fraud upon a most extensive scale.
Robert Manly, Thomas Bentley, and William
Caru'en, three well known burglars, were charged
with entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Sheir6n,
Westbourne-place, Belgrave-square, and stealing a
gold watch and a great number of brooches, ring-,
and other articles of jewellery of considerable value,
as also two sovereigns.
Tne circumstances were these :—Miss Sandford, a
lady residing in the house with the family, at about a
quarter past ten o'clock on the evening of Wednes-
day week d'scovered that her dressing case and a
,irawer in her bedroom had been broken open, and
the valuable property stolen. Information was given
to the police, and through the exertions of Mr. John
Lund, inspector of the A division, and Sergeant
Loom, of the B division, the accused were appre-
hended, and the case strongly proved against them.
It was !flown, by the evidence of a girl who had been
on terms of close intimacy_with Carden, that he and
the other two went out together on the evening of
the robbery, and returned in two or three hours,
when Carden told her they had done something that
night, and entered into a full detail of a robbery he
and his companions had been engaged in, in the
course of which he said there was a woman in bed
in one of the rooms (which was, on other testimony,
proved to be the case, the lady being an invalid);
but that, had she stirred, he bad something in his
hand which would have kept her quiet for some time.
Carden then showed hers gold watch, which he said he
had taken ; and then, at his request, she went to a pub-
lic-house in the neighbourhood, where Bentley was
counting some money, which he divided with the
other two. Bentley then gave Carden a bracelet,
which he handed to the girl, and it was subsequently
placed in the possession of Mr. Lund, and was identi-
fied as part of the stolen property. Carden subse-
quently found fault with the girl because, as he said,
•• she would not mix in the ups and downs," when she
declared she did not mean " to go out thieving, as he
did," and complained of having been deceived by him
as to his course of life. The officers engaged in the
case had very properly corroborated her evidence as
much as they possibly could by other testimony, as it
was elicited in cross-examination by Mr. Wontner,
that she had been in Newgate herself for some offence
previous to her living with Carden, and that on the
morning when they parted, after the robbery, he gave
her a black eye. Carden was found by Mr. Lund in
possession of the key of the lady's dressing case,
which had been carried off by the robbers, who had
effected an entrance to the premises from an empty
house three or four doors off, by walking along the
parapet and entering the attic window, which they
forced open.
They were all committed to the Central Criminal
Court for trial.
