POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

I

GUILDHALL. I 1101, AR7
On Tuesday a boy named William Cox was IL
brought before Mr. Alderman COPELAND, on sus' 113, Str
picion of knowingly delivering a letter from a gang -----
of thieves requiring the sum of 30s. to be paid fol THEIM"
the restoration of some stolen papers.
Mr. Harris, the landlord of the Salutation Tavern Athnh,
in Newgate-street, stated, that about six weeks age
ion
his bar was broken open in the night-time, and
some papers, plate, and goods, to the amount of 201 -----
were stolen. As there were no appearances of 0
F
forcible entry it was supposed some person bad THE
secreted himself in the day-time in the cellar. A fev; RE
litlys afterwards he received by the post the follow MEWS, C
lig anonymous letter :
" Sir,--Asa friend i write to you for inform The 01
you that wot papers we have got is quite safe SFITUTR
with us, together with your books, &c. and shall
not be destroyed as they are a great value to you ;
hut as a friend, although a stranger to you, i write PAGAN
to inform you that you shall have such things as are rill E
of grate consequence to you if you will Do us one lkitl
favour, and that is to Lend us a little money, tohtei

both parties, please to leave the five soverings at JUNE will
the Times office as soon as you please this week for Pahlishe
a stranger, to be called for by a stranger. For to St. James's

have one or two articles first, i mean papers, this
week or next week before we receive the money.

Sir, It is no use to follow the stranger that
comes for the money or to employ any person to
look after him, as you may as well keep your money
in your pocket as throw it away. The person who
comes for the money is a stranger to All partise, so
do not stop him. And as for taking i❑ any of us it
is out of the question as we always go upon a safe
plan. That is a safe game.
" Sir, As we are Short of Money at Present, if
you will do us this favour you shall lose nothing by
it. If we receve the money you shall have the pa-
pers and books, and every thing shall be seteled
without Father Troble."
Witness paid no attention to this letter ; but on
the 3d instant he received another pressing an imme-
diate answer to be given, directed—" for a stranger,
to be called for," and to be left at the Times office.
This letter he also disregarded, except that he
called at the Ti»zes office afterwards and found h 5
answer had been repeatedly inquired for. On Mon•
day night the prisoner brought him a parcel con-
taming some of the stolen papers, and another
anonymous letter requiring 30s. to be paid for them.
The boy said he received the parcel from a man who
was to await his return in 13ridge-street, end gave
bins sixpence for his trouble; but being further
questioned he said he was told to make this answer;
but was really to meet the stranger at the Dolphin
Tap on Ludgate-hill. The boy was taken there;
but the etranger was not found, and witness sus-
pected that the prisoner knew much more than he
admitted. Complainant, therefore, wished for an
opportunity to make inquiries.
The boy repeated the same story to the Magi-
strate, who remanded him for further examination.
