POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-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 part of the evidence, and cross-examined
most of the witnesses for the prosecution.
Mrs. Fox, of South-street, West-square, Lambeth, and
her husband, got into a Wellington omnibus on Wednes-
day, at hall. 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 Bishopsgate•
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 valueble 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 had just got out, darted
alter 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 once, "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 him 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 iuju-
riutally.—(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
view.
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 after Green, and for a moment lost sight of
him; hut 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,
I am 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 hear what the police have to ray about them.
Furnish!, an experienced officer, said he had known
Green these six Sears as the associate of thieves of the
worst description. At tirst Green was a costermongee,
and was coLs•antly in the habit of driving housebreakers
about in his cart, but he was now one of themselves.
Ilaydon, the officer, said he had known Boeth in the
name of Michael Cox, to have been convicted, and sen-
tenced to twelve months' imprisonment, for having robbed
a lady in Gray's Inn-lane of her purse.
Other officers were ready to bear testimony to tho same
effect.
The LORD IkreYoa, in remanding the prisoners for
tia pee pore oppurctii.l,y to f•';,•i. tO
appear tigamet mere, took taxabion to allude to the faci-
lities rendered by omnibus travelling to the well-dressed
oad iugenicus thieves of the metropolis, (tad puticallgrly

cautioned visitors to banks to be vigilant, as the whole of
the energirs of a t hid 's mind were directed to the in-
vention of more e tiectual modes of depredation.
MARYLEBO.NE.
_

Mr. George Jc Keen, a solicitor, residirg in the
vicinity of this Ju rt, was brought before Mr. Long,
charged with th e following outrage upon Mr. Henry
Israel, a solicito r"s ark, who, in consequence of the
serious injury h e had received, was incapacitated from
attending to give evidence.
Mr. John hems hall, landlord of the Star and Garter,
Edgeware-road, fl eposed, that, on Thursday night,
about half-past ti eelve o'clock, the prisoner and Mr.
Israel were in Ma house, drinking together, at the front
of the bar. Sou e words ensued between them, and
witness, hearing a disturbance, came out of the parlour
to inquire into the cause of the row. In passing
into the bar he ea ,w the prisoner striko Israel twice in
the face with kss fists. They fought together for
some minutes, we hen Keen was knocked down by Is-
rael. liven speed ily got up, and called out that he had
had enough. The y then shook hands and made up the
quarrel. Keen tlu n sat down on a form in the front of
the bar. He sub) 33 quently got up and proceeded across
the bar, towards where complainant was standing. A
person, by the nee ne of Hallet, who was standing at the
bar, called the at .t ention of witness to the prisoner, who
had the iron g a i key, a most fermidable instrument,
about five feet lon, g, in his hand. With this instrument
he struck Israel cA t the head. Witness ran towards the
prisoner, and t r'ied to get the gas key from him. The
prisoner called ot " Murder," and was so violent that
it took three pen 44 ms besides himself to wrest the deadly
weapon from him, (the prisoner). Witness then sent for
a surgeon to die. t 3 Mr. Israel's wound, and the prisoner
was given into th I ) custody of a police-constable.
Mr. Edward G a y, surgeon, No. 1, Cambridge-terrace,
H) de Park-gard et is, said on Thursday night he was
cAlled into the Sae .r and Garter, whore he saw a person
by the name of Is rael (the prosecutor), who was bleed-
ing from a wound in the head. Witness examined him,
and found a wore ne I on the left side of the frontal bone,
about two inches, in length, which, in his (witness's)
opinion, might :have been inflicted by the iron instru-
ment produced. The wound was of a very serious na-
ture, and he conk; not, with safety to himself, at present
leave his home.

Several other p artics gave evidence in support of the
charge, and they were cross•exarnined at some length
by Mr. Cooper,, the solicitor who attended for the
prisoner. _ _

Mr. LONG 'd what answer there was to the charge?
and

Mr. Cooper r ei )lied that he had no witnesses present,
and he had u.ol v no answer to make to the charge.
Upon a future di ty ho should, no doubt, be prepared
with certain wi! int :sses who would throw an entirely dif-
ferent light upe n the matter. In the absence of the in-
jured party all Cif at he Oho Learned Gentleman) could
look for was thrtt his client might be liberated upon his
giving bail to in 5 ure his attendance en another day.
Mr. LoNG he' It 1 the defendant in bail in 3001. and two
sureties in 1501, each for his attendance on Saturday
next.
