LITERARY PROPERTY.

A question of some impot tance to the Arts and
Sciences was this day brought up to Bow-street, betbre Sir
RICHARD BIRNIE, at this Office. It arose out of the follow-
ing circumstances :—The proprietors of a valuable work, edited
by Dr. Crouch, had placed in the hands of Mr. Stuart, the en-
graver, 14 anatomical drawings, for the purpose of having them
engraved. These plates were placed by Mr. Stuart
in the hands of Mr. Dick, an Artist, who, after
working for four days on them, stopped and proceeded
with another work, thereby delaying the publication. Ile was
then applied to for the purpose of delivering them up, but he
refused unless he were paid a private account due from Mr.
Stuart to him._After considerable argument, Mr. Stuart swore
diet the drawings bad been taken from his house without his
consent.

Sir R. BI tNui said that lie would make it a felony, on
which Mr. Dick deli,:ered up the drawings, and left the Office.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

APPREHENSION OF HALE, TII E FANATIC.
Bo w-STR EET.—TiIiS morning George Hale, the
bootmaker, who was in custody a short time ago at Woolwich,
on a charge of distributing pamphlets among the military, ad-
vising them to lay down their arms, was brought before Sir
RICHARD BIRNIE, charged with having interrupted Divine
Service, yesterday, at St. Clement Danes Church. It appeared
that when the Rev. Dr. Gurney was repeating the prayer for the
" High Court of Parliament, under our most religious and gra-
cious King," the prisoner rose, and told him he was repeating
lies and language that Paine or Carlile would be ashamed of.
Ile was taken into custody.
Sir R. Bi a:a IE said that such conduct was not to be tolerated
in a country like this, and advised the Churchwardens to prose-
cute the prisoner. ur Clergymen were not to be called liars
in the performance of their religious duty.
The prisoner said he did not call him 3" liar," he only said
he was telling lies.
Sir RICHARD said it was all the same, and ordered him to
find bail.

MANsiox-HousE.—This morning Henry Burke, a very
respectably dressed young man, was charged with embezzling
a check for W., the property of his employers, Alessm Prince
and Giflbrd, brokers, of Nicholas-lane. It appeared that about
a month back the check had been given to the prisoner, with
directions to pay it over to a tradesman of the name of Watson,
but that, instead of so doing, he had appropriated it to his own
use. Watson called several times for his money, but was
always put ow by the prisoner, who represented to him that his
employers were engaged, and he could not then apply to them
on the subject. On one occasion, however, he happened to see
the principals, and thus occasioned a discovery of the miscon-
duct of the prisoner. No defence was attempted, but at the
request of the prisoner the case was remanded tin- a week.
