I'OLIGi4; IN I'EI4I.IGENCE.

Emsr.zzLEMYITT.— William Fedor, collecting clerk to
Messrs. Watson and Co.vwholesale lace-men, Gutter-lane, was
charged with defrauding his employers. The prisoner had been
in their employ about 8 years, with a handsome salary, and
upon a discovery that he had not accounted for certain sums of
money ke had received, he absconded a few days ago, and
Charles Ilerdsfield, the officer, was employed to apprehend
him. Ilerdstield prowled about the prisoner's dwelling-house
at lloxton to little purpose, until twilight on Christmas morn-
ing, when, being satisfied from some circumstances that Ferrar
was at home, he told amok-woman who was passing that some
milk was wanted at that house, the woman knocked, the door
was opened, the officer rushed in, and the prisoner was found
hiding himself in an attice. Sir. Burnside, of the firm of
Watson and Company, produced a book containing two entries
in the prisoner's hand-writing, that he had received, on the
6th October, 391. Bs. of Mr. Griffin, of Leicester-square, and,
on the 17th of November, 501. from the same gentleman. Mr.
Griffin was then called, who proved that the payment to the
prisoner on the former day was 611., and on the latter 231. bs.
Mr. Watson said, he was generally resident at their factory at
' Nottingham, and that the prisoner had never accounted at the
time, or since, to him or any of the firm, for any other amount
than he had entered in the books. The prisoner offered no de-
fence, and was committed for embezzling the mosey he had
not accounted for.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday Samuel Cliford, a labouring man, was brought
before Sir R. BIRNIE, on a charge of stealing seven cabbages
from a plantation belonging to a gentleman named Hutchins,
at Earl's-court, Kensington.
The prisoner was seen, on Sunday morning, by a watchman
in the service of Mr. Hutchins, to get over the wall enclosing]
the plantation, and very deliberately cut seven large cabbages
which he threw into an adjoining field, and following them, he
was making off when the watchman seized and detained him.
In his defence, the prisoner said that his wife had been in la-
bour since six o'clock on the over night, and she had taken a
desperate longing for a mess of cabbage, and, thinking that if
she had her wish, she would be the sooner out of her trouble,
he thought he would get some at all hazards. It was church-
time, and the shops were shut, and so In.: went to Mr. Hat-
chins's ground and helped himself.
Sir It. ButsuE said that if the prisoner's story was true, he
might have contented himself with a lesser number than seven.
His wife could not, however ravenous, have devoured so many.
The prisoner said there was no telling when a woman was in
that way what she might tatke it into her head to eat
Sir It. BIIINIE said he would not, as he might do, commit
the prisoner under the new Statute for the felony, but tine him
under an old Act of Parliament, 20s. and costs.—The pri-
soner paid the fine and W fa.; discharged.
Thomas Spring Rice, Esq. M.P., arrived at the Peacock at
• Islington, on Saturday night, by one of the northern coaches,
and having called a hackney coach, he saw his luggage safely
deposited, and ordered the coachman to drive to his house, in
Upper Baker-street, Portman-square. On his arrival there the
.Honourable Member paid him his fare, anti left him to deliver
the luggage to his servants. The coachman, howqver, kept,
Avhether !Wilfully or not can only be matter of inference, one
'trunk back, and drove awey with it. This trunk contained,
among other property, 385/. in sovereigns. The Hon. tientle-
man, on missing the trunk, gave information at this office, and
Salmon, the active principal officer of the establishment, com-
menced an inquiry, and in the course of a few hours he ascer-
tained where the coachman was to be found. He took him into
custody, and he at once confessed that he had the trunk, but de-
clared that he did not discover it for some time after he put Mr..
Rice down, and that it was his intention to return it. Salmon
got possession of the trunk, and luckily found the contents in
static quo. The coachman underwent a private examination be-
fore Sir R. Birnie yesterday. and the time (four days) within
whieh it is imperative on a hackney-coachman to deliver at the
Ilackney-coach Office any property he may find, not having
elapsed, and he persisting in his statement, that his intention
was honest, he was discharged.
Mr. Rice liberally rewarded Salmon for his services, and
spoke in high terms of the activity of that officer.
William Burke, a lad of 17, was brought up, charged with
the following daring robbery.
Mr. George Lewis, a respectable tradesman, stated, that he
and a friend were going through Hassell-court, Drury lane,
about one o'clock on Sunday morning, when they met a gang
of at least 30 men and boys, all armed with clubs and sticks.
They first surrounded his friend, assaulted him severely, and
attempted to rob hint of his watch. He resisted desperately,
and the witness, going to his assistance, was attacked by the
prisoner, who gave him a blow on the face, and snatched off
his hat, with which he ran away. Witness pursued him, and,
the prisoner falling clown, he was secured by a watchman ; but
he had contrived to give the hat to some of his companions in
the chace, and it was lost.
Mr. Lewis's friend corroborated the above statement, and the
prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence, except what
was known already, that he had fallen clown and broken his
head, was fully committed for trial.
James Deane was brought up, charged with a robbery of a
description somewhat similar to the one above described. A
man, named Davis, a: porter at the Bell and Crown, Holborn,
was going home about one o'clock on Sunday morning, when
he was surrounded by several fellows, who beat hint and robbed
him of a great coat, which he had on his arm. They attempted
to rob him of his watch and money, but he contrived to pre-
vent them. He secured the prisoner, who was one of the most
active of the gang. The prisoner made no defence, and was
committed.

HATTON-GARDEN. •
Information was given at this Office yesterday morning that
two hampers, containing 83 pieces of crape gauze, in an un-
finished state, and about six or seven pounds of waste silk,
were either lost or stolen from the Amersham waggon on Tues-
day last. The hampers were addressed to Messrs. Jennings
and Son, Worship-street, Finsbury.
Mary Husscv, an Irishwoman, was placed at the bar, charged
with inflicting; sundry blows on Ann Cain, with an intent to mur-
der her.—Ann Cain was brought forward, and she appeared in so
low and weak a state that she was accommodated with a chair ;
but still she was so weak that her words could not be heard,
and consequently she was placed close by the side of the Ma-
gistrate. She then deposed to the fbllowing effect :—I live at
No. 7, Margaret-row, Burton-crescent. Last night, at about
eleven o'clock, I came home from work. The prisoner lodges
in the same room with me, and I found her there with her
sweetheart. After some conversation he parted with her, and
I went to bed ; and in about half an hour afterwards she com-
menced abusing me, saying that I had taken away her sweet-
heart, for that he admired me more than he admired her. and
then commenced her attack upon me. I did not know what it
was she struck me with. Previous to the sweetheart going the
prisoner said she waived some tea, but I said it was too late ;
this was the substance of the complainant's testimony.—The
landlord of the house and another witness gave evidence con-
firming. this statement. The cosnplainant had been con-
veyed by the landlord to the Middlesex Hospital, but no person
from that place was in evidence to-day. A quart pewter pot
was produced, covered with blood, with which it was said the
wounds were inflicted, and one witness swore to having heard
the prisoner say that she would have the life of the complain-
ant. The landlord stated, that he was present when the wounds
were dressed, and that they were of a very dangerous nature.—
The Magistrate, under these circumstances, remanded the pri-
soner until Saturday next.
