POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

George Andrews, a dapper little tailor, standing four feet
nothing, was charged with being the worse for liquor, and
breaking a pane of glass in the shop window of Mr. Isaacs, of
Leicester-street.

The defendant said it was purely an accident—the pave-
ment was very slippery, and somehow the shop window came
against his shoulder, and the glass certainly did give way.
If he was allowed to depart, he should be more cautious in
future.

MAGISTRATE— You must pay ss. for the glass, and ss. for
being drunk. What a shame for a boy of your age to be get-
ting drunk.
Policeman—Oh, your worship, he's five-and-twenty years
old !—( Much laughter.)
John Grey, who described himself as a waiter at a public
house, was charged with having gulped down several dozens
of oysters, and refusing to pay for them. The policeman
stated that the defendant was surrounded by about a dozen
women of the town, whom he helped with great liberality.
On being asked for payment, he kicked up a tremendous row,
and swore lie would tumble all the tubs into the street.

MAGISTRATE—Was he drunk ? Policeman—Very drunk,
indeed.

MAGISTRATE—Then he must pay ss. I have nothing to
say to the oysters.

TOWN-HALL.

Robert Davis was brought this morning before Mr. Alder-
man BROWN, charged by Edward Hayward with being drunk,
and while in that state maliciously and wilfully destroying half
a dozen wine-glasses, his property.
Hayward stated that he was a hawker of glass, and as he was
passing over London-bridge yesterday afternoon, shortly after
five o'clock, the prisoner who was exceedingly drunk, came up
to him, gave him a shove on purpose, and nearly sent all his
glass-ware over the bridge. Six wine-glasses were smashed
to atoms.

Mr. Alderman BROWN—WeII, prisoner, what have you to
say to this ? The Prisoner—l have no recollection of it.
Mr. Alderman BROWN—WeII you must be committed for
fourteen days unless in the meantime you pay the damage—
four shillings.
The prisoner could not pay the money, and was therefore
committed.

This was the only charge brought before Mr. Alderman
BROWN to-day.

UNION-HALL.

Bax, the boy who upon his own confession had been incar-
cerated for robbing his masters, Messrs. Chandler, was again
placed at the bar, for the purpose of allowing Bristow, the
boy who had been taken up with him, to give evidence.
Bristow stated that on Wednesday night last he met the
prisoner Bax, and Thatcher, in Clifton-street, Camberwell.
They were going towards town. Bax said to him "we are
going to buy some new clothes, should you like a suit ?" Wit-
ness said he should; and Bax then observed that he had
plenty of money, and if he chose to go along with them he
would buy him a suit. They then went to a Mr. Duncan's,
near the Marsh Gate, where Frax bought three suits of clothes,
for which he paid upwards of 71. Afterwards they adjourned to
the Surrey Coffee House, where they regaled themselves with
coffee, eggs, and ham, and slept that night. In the morning
they all went to Islington, where Bristow left them ; but on
their way they called in Field-lane, where Bax bought five
silk pocket hankerchiefs, for which he gave ss. each. On
witness asking him where he got the money, he gave him no
answer.

Mr. WEDGWOOD said it was the oddest story he had ever
heard ; Bax must, however, be fully committed, and Bristow
bound over to give his evidence at the trial.

John Bassett, a person in the employ of Messrs. Pigeons,
the distillers, of High-street, Southwark, was fully commit-
ted to the Old Bailey for trial, for stealing several knives and
forks, their property.
