POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

Q UEEN- S QUARE.

James Hope wai charged with committing
burglary and robbery in the dwelling-house of Sir
' Thomas Hay, Bart., Pratt-street, Bishop's-walk,
Lambeth. Between two and three o'clock in the
morning, James Gordon, a police constable, being
on duty at the back of Sir Thomas Hay's house,
heard a slight noise, and, looking over the rails,
saw the prisoner, who, peiceiviog that he was dis-
covered, jumped over the rails and walls of several
gardens, pursued as closely us possible by the con-
stable. The prisoner, seeing no chance of escape
by the road, availed himself of an unfastened win-
dow at the back of a house kept by an Irishman,
,vhicli he entered, and ran up stairs. The Irishman
hearing the noise, jumped out of bed, ctyitlg out,
" Wt•at'e the matter ?" The prisoner exclaimed,
For God's sake let me into your bed or I'il be
hanged !" The Irishman, who mistook him for a
Mr. Burley, w.ho lodged in the parlour, expressed
his te•tonisliment at the request, and at his having
left his own bed. The prisoner reiterated, "If
you don't let me into your bed, I'll be hanged I"
" But my wife's there fast asleep," said the.
Irishman. " Never mind that," said the prisoner,
at the instant, to the utter astonishment of the Irish.
:men, stripping cii his clothes and jumping into bed
to the Irishman's wife; who, awoke by the intru-
sion, and seeing the strange man, screamed and
el le(' out " murder !" most lustily. The husband
was utterly unable to comprehend what all this
could mean, but by this time a number of police-
men had assembled in the front of the house, and
the wife had kicked the prisoner out of the bed.
The husband looked out at the window, when the
policemen called out that a thief had got into that or
one of the adjoining houses. The prisoner ran down
stairs in his shit t, and addressing the constables,
said, with perfect self-possession, "It is all right
here, gentlemen, there's no one in the house but
ourselves;" at the same time calling the Irishman
his father,and appealing to him if all was not right.
"Father !" said the Irishman, with still increasing
astoei-hment, " He's no son of mine—l never saw
the fellow before." The policeman judged the rest,
and took the prisoner into custody; on searching his
clothes, there were found in his pockets house-break-
ing instruments, and several articles which were
identified by Sir Thomas Hay as his property. It
appeared that the prisoner had just effected an en-
trance at the back kitchen window, when he was
disturbed by the policeman. He made no defence,
and was fully committed. It was felt by all present
at the examinatitn, that the prisoner had displayed
it presence of mind worthy of a better cause.
Peler Melville, a servant in the employment of
Mr. Si ipem in, of No. 1, Dean's-yard, Westminster,
was charged with robbing his master, and some of
the Westminster scholars who board and lodge it
the house of the prosecutor. He begged for mercy
as it was his first offence, and was fully committed.

THAMES P ()LICE.
Samuel Miller, John Bagley, and James Brook,
vatermen, were charged with a brutal ast,ault on six
young men, during the rowing match at Limehouse
on Thursday. Mr. BALLANTINE, after commenting

them in the highest penalty the Act allows, 51. each.

W OR S HIP- STREET.

ninety-one sovereigns, belonging to Eliza Wcs,, in
