POLICE TELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Ernest Levy de il'lirecourt, the young foreigner charged
with a variety of thefts on jewellers, was yesterday brought
before INlr. CONANT for final examination.
Tile cases brought forward against the prisoner were—
Messrs. Jones and Co„ Ludgate-street, a diamond ring,
value 91. ; Messrs. Howell and James, Regent-street, gold
watch, 20/. ; Mr. Hancock, Bond-street, gold watch, 14/.
The shopman of Mr. Hancock said when the prisoner
came into Mr. Hancock's shop he addressed him in broken
English. The prisoner up to the present time had denied
all knowledge.of the language, and when told what the shop-
man had, sworn; he said it was not correct, as he did not
know deny snots of Englith.
The shopman said what he had stated was true. He
knew nothing whatever of French, and had the prisoner ad-
dressed him in any other than the English language he
could not have understood him.

The prisoner said he picked up the diamond ring be-
longing to Mr. Jones, and he stole the watch belonging to
-Messrs. Howell and Co.
He was fully committed.
On the same day Messrs. Howell and Co. lost a ring
value sixty guineas, and a jeweller in Russell-street lost an-
other, value forty guineas.
Herman Icing, a journeyman broker, in the employ of
Mr. C. Dill, who carries on an extensive business, No. 366,
Oxford-street, was charged with having embezzled money
to some extent belonging to his master.
Mr. Dill having found out that a customer had paid the
weekly amount to the prisoner, and that the money had
not been accounted for, set on foot an inquiry, and disco-
vered that a great many other bills had been collected,
which had not been paid over by the prisoner. The sum
deficient was found to be upwards of 201. These cases
were selected, Mr. Lomax, of Silver-street ; Mrs. Bruce,
Windmill-street; and Mrs. Livings, Holland-street; upon
all of which the prisoner was fully committed.
A well-dressed person, named Daniel Carter, wearing lip
and chin mustachios, was charged with having improperly
disposed of a stove belonging to an individual, whose name
did not transpire.
The complainant said he removed a quantity of property
from the defendant's house, No. 28, Castle-street, Oxford-
market, but he left behind in his care the stove in question.
He sent for the stove the other day, and then he was in-
formed by the prisoner that the stove had been delivered
up to a man who brought an order for it. Complainant
was passing down Oxford-street yesterday when he saw his
stove at the shop of a broker, named Rodman; No. 418,
Oxford-street. He inquired where the stove had been.
obtained from, and was immediately informed that it had
been sold by the prisoner only the previous day at the house
in Castle-street.

On this information complainant caused the prisoner to
be taken into custody.
In defence, the prisoner said that his house was con-
stantly besieged by tradesmen, who came there for payment
of goods which they asserted had been improperly obtained
from them. Having got rid 'of all the goods left by the
complainant with the exception of the stove, he determined
to prevent further unpleasantness by getting that article
out of the house. He, therefore, sent for a broker and
sold it. He admitted he had acted wrong, but he was
ready to restore the stove by repaying the money advanced
by the broker.

- The complainant being willing to accede to those terms,
Mr. CONANT said the prisoner must be detained in custody
until he produced the 30s.

11ATTOIV-GARDEN.

Yesterday Thomas Ansell and Henry Cockburne, were
brought up for final examination, the former charged with
stealing a valuable gold watch, guard, and gold seal, the
property of Mrs. Mary Cummings, of No. '2, King's-ter-
race, Bagnigge Wells-road, and the latter with having ro-
ceived the same, knowing it to be stolen.
The case excited considerable interest, and the office was
crowded.

Mr. Wooller attended:on the part of the prisoner Cock-
burne, and a gentleman, whom we understood to be a Ma-
gistrate, but whose name did not appear, was also in at-
tendance to watch the proceedings. After a long investi-
gation, the prisoners were fully committed for trial.
