POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WoRsHIP.STREET.—SINGULAR ROBBERY.— William
Richardson was brought before SAMAEL TWY FORD, Esq.,
the presiding Magistrate, on re-examination, for stealing a so-
vereign. There was no evidence to prove the charge of his ori-
ginal commitment, but a new and singular disclosure of another
felony was made before the Magistrate.—lt appeared from the
evidence of Mary Ann Braddon, a young woman residing
with her father and mother at Stoke Newington, that the
prisoner, who was a journeyman baker out of place, had his
clothes washed by her mother. On, the Ist of October last he
took a shirt, a waistcoat, and two silk handkerchiefs. to the
old woman to be, washed, and said he would call for them on
the following day. lie did not come that day, though the ar-
ticles were ready for him, and so they remained on the Sunday
following, when the witness and her mother went out, leaving
the old man at home, where he fell asleep, and continued so
about two hours. Ten days afterwards the prisoner came for
his clothes, and they could not be found. lie demanded their
value, or other artilces in their stead. The poor old people did
all they could ; they got him another waistcoat, a pair of stock-
ings, a shirt, and silk handkerchief, and allowed him the rest in
money.
A few days ago, on the prisoner being charged with stealing
the sovereign by some other person, Atkins the constable took
him into custody, and on searching him, amongst other things,
he found a duplicate of a waistcoat and shirt, pawned in the
Westminster-road on Monday the 7th of October, which waist-
coat and shirt proved to be the same he gave Mrs. Braddon to
wash, and which were ready in the house for him the day be-
fore, when there can be no doubt the prisoner entered while the
old man was asleep, and stole his own property.
The prisoner, in his defence, said the old man gave them to
him, but the old man denied it positively.
Mr. TwyFoRD observed, that this was a-singular case of a
man's stealing his own property, and for which he should com-
mit him to take his trial. It had already been deemed felony
for a man to steal his own property in bailment to another, where
the intention was manifest ; and in this case his demanding and
receiving from these poor persons the value of the goods taken;
shewed clearly the felonious intention with which the crime was
committed.

The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday, for the appearance
of the pawnbroker.
HAT T 0 N-GARD E curious charge and counter-charge
took place yesterday. A person, named Cornelius Cowley,
living, in Cromer-street, Ilrunswick-square, charged a girl
of the town with making a disturbance at his door. The
girl charged him with an assault. Mr. Cowley, it appeared,
had on Thursday night, after taking his wife and sister to
the play, when he left them picked up the girl ou hid way
back, and taken her to his own house, where they regaled
themselves with supper, till the faithful husband, begin-
ning to apprehend the return of his wife, turned his new ac-
quaintance out of doors. The girl, not liking to be disposed of
so cavalierly, made a disturbance, and insisted on having some
money before she departed, alleging that she had paid Mr.
Cowley's coach-fare. Their altercation excited the attention of
the watch, who carried them both to the watch-house, where
they were locked up all night.,—The 3lagistrate dismissed both
charges.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT lIOVE.—We regret to
say, that on Tuesday evening, daring the cele-
bration of the sth of November, an accident of
a most melancholy nature occurred at the above
place. A number of persons were assembled
round a bonfire, about a quarter of a mile from
the village, some of them firing off pistols from
time to time. One of these, a young man named
Bartlett, about eighteen years of age, loaded,and
said, as if in jest—" I will shoot that fellow,"—
pointing to a lad named Groves, who stood at a
short distance from him. He fired, and the lad
instantly fell ! Two persons who were stand-
ing near Bartlett at the time he loaded, both
join hi declaring that there was no ball or shot
put into the pistol. Nearly the whole of the
poor fellow's right cheek being torn off, it is
supposed that, this was done by the wadding,
which opened the jugular vein, and caused his
instant death. Bartlett, who is the son of a re-
spectable gardener at Hove, is in a most agonised
state of mind. The. Coroner's Inquest will be
holden on the body this day (Thursday.) Groves
was the son of a labourer, who also lived in the
village.—(Brighton Gazette.)

We do not recollect having to record a more
audacious and barefaced robbery, than in the
abduction, on Wednesday evening, at eight
o'clock, of a large heavy cage with two beautiful
American grey Squirrels, from a shelf in the
passage (the only entrance from Fleet-street),
to Richard's Coffee House, near Temple Bar, a
gas, light in the passage, and a large open window
in the kitchen, where the waiters and other ser-
vants were going backward and forward directly
opposite the cage.
