POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Mr. Charles Dickens and Mr. Mark Lemon attended
at this court, the latter for the purpose of preferring a
charge of attempted robbery against Cornelius Hearne,
aged 19, and the former as a witness in the case.
Mr. Lemon, on being sworn said: I reside at No. 3,
Saint Anne:s Villas, Nutting-hill. Last evening, about
nine o'clock, as I was walking with my friend, Mr.
Dickens, along the Edgware-road, I felt a hand in
my coat pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner
draw his hand therefrom. I gave him a rap with my
stick, when he abused tee and ran away. I and Mr.
Dickens ran after him, and he was shortly afterwards
taken. He was extremely violew, and he kicked me
very severely on the knee.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you miss anything from your
pocket? Mr. Lemon—l did not, Sir.
Mr. Charles Dickens—l live at No. 1, Devonshire-ter-
race, Regent's-park. I was with Mr. L:mon, and saw him
turn suddenly round upon the prisoner, who apeedilyran
away. We pursued him, and when he was taken he was
most violent. lie was a very desperate fellow, and kicked
about in all directions. There was a mob of low fellows
close by when he tried Mr. Lemon's pocket, and we were
determined that he should not effect his escape if we could
prevent it.
Police-constable 229 D—l was on duty last night in
plain clothes, and saw the prisoner running, with two
gentlemen in pursuit of him. I also ran after him, and
he was at length captured, while progressing at a rapid
rate along Bell•street. I told him I was a constable, and
he walked a little way quietly with me, one of the gen-
tlemen also having hold of him. Prisoner said to me,
" Let me go, or give you something you won't like,"
and he kicked Mr. Lemon and me severely on the legs.
On the way to the station-house he exclaimed, addressing
himself to me, " You --, if I had known it had been
you, I'd have given you more of it."
Berkley, another officer of the D division, deposed to his
having known the prisoner for years as a reputed thief.
He had been tried, and also summarily convicted,at this
and other police-courts.
Mr. Lemon—While going to the station, the pri-
soner said to me, " Don't say that my hand was in
your pocket."
Prisoner—l didn't say that. What I did say was,
"Don't do me a wrong by saying that it was in your
pocket."
Mr. Dickens—l distinctly heard the prisoner use the
words, " Don't say my hand was in your pocket."
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—What is your
answer to this charge? Prisoner —I was walking along
quickly, when the gentlemen suddenly stopped, and I
came against one of them; they turned round and
struck me, and I said, " What did you do that for?"
when they laid into me again. I got away, and they
called "stop thief."
Mr. Dickens—When at the station, I said I thought I
knew the prisoner, and that I had seen him at the House
of Correction.
Prisoner—Now, your Worship, he-must have been in
" quod" there himself, or he couldn't have seen me. I
know these two gentlemen well; they're no better than
swell-mob men, and get their living by buying stolen
goods.—(Laughter.) That one (pointing to Mr.
Dickens) keeps a " fence," and I recollect him at the
prison, where he was put in for six months, while I was
there for only two.
Both gentlemen seemed to enjoy amazingly the honour
which the prisoner had with such unblushing effrontery
conferred upon them; but, as may be readily imagined,
neither of them confessed to having any connexion
whatever with that " highly respectable" body—the
swell-mob, or to obtaining a livelihood by dealing in
stolen goods.
Mr. BROUGHTON, after remarking upon the consummate
impudence of the prisoner in making the allegations
which he had against gentlemen of so much repute in the
literary world, gave him to understand that if he had
stolen anything, he would have been sent for trial, and
perhaps transported; as it was, he (the magistrate)
should deal with him at once as severely as the law
would allow him, and accordingly committed him to
hard labour in the House of Correction for three month:.
" Boz" and his friend then left the Court.

EXCURSION TO PARIS IN EASTER WEEE..---A
plan for an expedition, on a large scale, by way of re-
turn for the late visit of the French National Guards, is
now in active organization. The French Government
have offered every facility for the gratification and ac-
commodation of the visitors. A number of individuals
will constitute a committee of surveillance, and be al-
lowed the privilege of granting pass cards to the visitors,
free of all charge, and without trouble. The arrange.
ments are of a nature to promote a pleasant excursion at
a moderate expense.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Surpassing Excellence
of Holloway's Ointment and Pills in the Cure of Old Wounds
or Scrofulous Sores.—Four years since, Thomas Watkins, a
cotton-spinner, at Manchester, received a severe wound in the
arm by its coming in contact with the machinery; for a consi-
derable time he was attended by several medical men at the
Infirmary, who decided that nothing could save the poor man's
life but amputation. To this he objected, whereupon he was
discharged as incurable. At this crisis his friends subscribed
a trifle to purchase some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
which remedies in a few weeks healed the wound, after so long
a period of suffering.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
SUDDEN DEATH AT LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday a
general gloom prevailed in the Liverpool Change, in
consequence of the sudden death of Mr. Priestley, of the
well known firm of Priestley, Griffiths, and Cox. He
was unexpectedly seized with a fit of apoplexy, and died
before surgical assistance could be procured.
Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial-
office, from the Governors of Van Diemen's Land, New
South Widts, and Gibraltar.
