• POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSIOIV-HOUSE.

Green and Booth, young men well known to the police
as connected with a gang of housebreakers, banking-
house skulkers, and omnibus pickpockets, were brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed
Mrs. Elizabeth Fox of a purse containing ten sovereigns
and nine shillings in silver. The prisoners closely
watched every psrt of the evidence, and cross-examined
most of the witnesses for the prosecution.
Mrs. Fex, of South-street, %Vest-square, Lambeth, and
her husband, got into a Wellington omnibus on Wednes-
day, at bale-past five o'clock, at Stones-end in the
Borough, to proceed to Shoreditch. Booth and Green
immediately followed them, and the former sat next to
the lady, while the latter took his seat on the opposite
side. The omnibus had reached B:shopsgate-
street when Mrs. Fox took her handkerchief
from her pocket for a moment, and found
that her purse was safe, but upon returning it to her
pocket she missed her purse and its valuable contents.
Booth had, at the time she missed her property, quitted
the omnibus, and Green was at his heels. Mr. FOX
upon hearing his wife cry out that she was robbed of her
purse by one of the men who bad just got out, darted
after them, and they were both apprehended. Subse-
quently the purse was taken with a pair of tongs from
a grating over which Booth had been taken into custody.
All the money WAS in it. _ _

Mr. Fox said, as soon as he heard of the loss his wife
sustained, he seized Green, who was following Booth, and
was on the step of the omnibus, by the tail of his coat.
Green said at ()bee, "It is not me; it is that man with
the blue trousers," pointing to Booth, who was running.
Witness then let Green go, and followed Booth, and
Green accompanied hint some distance. When witness
captured Booth. Booth said to him, " What do you
charge me with?" and upon being answered, declared
that he was a perfect gentleman, and was determined
to spend 1,0001. to punish the person who had the im-
pudence to lay hold of him and charge him so inju-
riously.—(A laugh.) The attention of a policeman who
came up was pointed to Green, who was running off in
another direction, but was apprehended in the witness's
vie w,
Booth—l did say I would punish you severely, for
you not only falsely charged me, but you seized me
with great violence by the collar.
Mr. Fox—l certainly was determined not to let you
go. I followed you up too close, and you threatened
me, but I care nothing about that.
Booth—Did you see me drop the purse?
Mr. Fox—No, but nobody else could have dropped it.
William Maxwell, conductor of the omnibus in which
the robbery took place, said that when the omnibus
stopped in Bishopsgate-street, Booth said, " I will get
out, which he did by jumping out, after having paid a
fourpenny piece, for the penny out of which he did not
wait, but ran off as rapidly as he could. The lady then
cried out, that man has robbed me;" and Green said,
" Yes he has, and there he goes, I will run after him,"
which he did, without stopping to pay his fare. Wit-
ness ran alter Green, and for a moment lost sight of
him; but on going towards the omnibus observed him
running in an opposite direction. Witness said, " I
want my fare," and added, " You are one of the men
concerned in that robbery ;" to which he replied, " No,
lam not; the officer has taken him—it is all right."
A policeman then took Green into custody.
Green—Upon my honour, I know nothing at all of
this person (pointing to Booth).
Booth—Certainly not; and I know nothing of you.—
(Laughter.)
Green—lf such a thing as a robbery had taken place,
and I was in it, is it likely I should join in pursuit? It
is quite ridiculous to suppose such a thing.
The policeman who apprehended Green said he saw
the prisoner running at the top of his speed, and dodging
in and out amongst the vehicles until taken into custody,
when he struggled to escape.
The LORD MAYOR—These prisoners deny that there
has been anything at all against their characters. Let
me bear what, the police have to say about them.
Purnell, an experienced officer, said he had known
Green these six years as the associate of thieves of the
worst description. At first Green was a costermonger,
and was cut s antly in the habit of driving housebreakers
about in his cart, but he was now ose of themselves.
Ilaydoo, the officer, said he lidd known Etqwili in the
name of Michael Cox, to have be( n convicted, and sen.
tented to twelve months' imprisonment, for having robbed
a lady in Gray's Inn-lane ut her purse.
Other officers were ready to bear testimony to the same
effect.

the purpose or giving opportunity to other accusers to
appear tgatti.t 1.,111, took oethit,i.,li to Lb.!
