POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—Lord CHARLES BENTINCK appeared yes-
terday before G. R. MINSHULL, Esq.., the Sitting Magistrate,
upon a summons to answer the charge of Robert 3lanby, his
footman, for assaulting and beating him.
The statement of the complainant, who was a mere lad, was
this :—On Monday Lady Bentinck came home in her carriage,
and when she had entered the house, he took her Ladyship's
shawl, which she had left behind her, from the carriage into
the drawing room. Lady Bentinck seeing this, desired to know
what right he had to bring her shawl from the carriage, with-
out being ordered to do so, and desired him to take it back. He
said he was sorry he had acted wrong, and would take care to
avoid doing so in future, but he begged to be excused from tak-
ing it back to her carriage. Her Ladyship desired him to quit
the room, and having informed Lord Charles of the circum-
stance, his Lordship came down stairs, and desired him to leave
the house instantly ; he refused, demanding first to be paid a
month's wages as per agreement, but to this his Lordship would
not listen, and seizing him by the collar, he thrust him with
great violence out of the house.
His Lordship merely replied to the charge, that the servant
had insolently disobeyed the commands of his lady, who hav-
ing communicated that fact to him, he chose to order him to
leave the house ' - he refused, and he certainly did push him
out, but not with great violence.
Mr. said an assault had certainly been proved,
but of such a nature that he should only call upon the Noble
Defendant to enter into his own recognizance to appear at the
Sessions to answer any charge that the complainant might
choose to prefer.
Lord Bentinck did so, and the matter terminated for the
present.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The servant of a
Mr. BAKER, at Gibraltar, lately took an oppor-
tunity, in the absence of his master, to commit a
robbery. Having found the key of the iron
chest, in which he knew his employer was ac-
customed to deposit very considerable sums, he
opened it, and helped himself to 7,500 dollars.
Ile then left the garrison with his booty, and
escaped into Spain. A few days afterwards he
was found cruelly murdered. It is supposed
that he had an accomplice, who took this mode
of possessing himself of the whole of the property
which had been purloined, for when the deceased
was found, no portion of the money was discovered
about his person.
FlRE.—Last night a fire broke out at the
house of Mr. ROACII, bookseller, in Vinegar-
yard, which entirely destroyed the same, toge-
ther with the stock in trade. Fears were for,
some time entertained that it would reach Drury-
lane Theatre, but happily, through the -exertions
of the fire-men, the ravages were confined to the
house in which the fire broke out.
