house, and that on the night cf the ?4th ult. the family retired

by breaking a panel which separated the shop from the street-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDH,ILL

A respectable-looking youth, named Batt, was brought be-
fore Air. Alderman Thomas Wood, on the charge of em-
bezzlement.

Mr. Jarnes.Williams stated that he was a solicitor, resid.ng
at No. 33, Coleman-street. The prisoner had been in kis
employment for upwards of five months, and, on the 4th ef this
month, he was sent to receive some rent due to witness out of
premises he held in Knight Rider-street, Doctors' Commons.
The tenant paid 5/. to the pri,vner, who only accounted f.r 41.
to the witness. A similar circuins'ance having occurred on
last Monday, the prisoner was given into custody.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said this was a melancholy case; per-
haps Yr. Williams would be satisfied to have the ease re-
manded until to-morrow. The prisoner was 3oung, and to
judge by appearances not hardened in crime ; if there were any
other proofs of his dishonesty it would be easier to know ho.v
to act.

➢lr. Williams not feeling inclined to accede to the sugge-
tion, the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

o'clock his Lordship had Sun iently recovered his sobtiety
to allow a his being brought up from the station-house,
and wai plic,:d in the deck.

fendant, who was very drunk, wrangling with a cab
driver in Piccadilly about the fare ; his conduct was so
boisterous and eisorderly that it caused a crowd of persons
to assemble, and created a great obstruction tJ the tho.
rougbfare. Witnes4 therefore interfered, and with con-
siderable difficulty succeeded in conveying his Lordship to
tl.e station-house.

Henry Spencer, the driver of Vie cab No. 120, stated
that he was called off the stand in Piccadilly by the defer_
den., and ordered to drive to the Cavendish Hotel, in
Jermyn-street His Lordship,- however, refused to pet

quarters of an hour, also refused' •to pay him 81. which he
was entitled to fur being called off the stand.

way he could, ancrin doing so used some strong expressions
against the policemen.
Mr. DYER cautioned him against swearing, and said th;,t
In each oath he afterwards uttered, ho should fine bim

The' Defendant—Fine me I What do I care about
being fined. I'm a nobleman and a gentleman, and hove

a master carman, living in Hondur.s-street, Sc Luke's.
It appeared from the prosecutor's evidence that several
months ago he was summoned by the prisoner to this
Court, for having obstructed the carria.e.way in front of
his house, and he was con% ieted of the offence and amerced
in a triflieg penalty. Soon afterwards the prisoner called
upon him, and told him that the law only allowed him
twenty minutes for the purpose of loading and unloading
his carts and vans, and as he was in the habit of exceeding
that space of time, be had better g:ve him (the prisoner)
some money if he wished to be safe. Witness submitted
to the exaction to avoid another information, but since
then he had been repeatedly beset in a similar
manntr by the prisoner, to whom he had given
money on each occasion, under the dread of being
prosecuted. On the preceding morning the prisoner
came up to him in the stred in which he resided,
and asked if he had got any money for hie.
to which he replied in the nega'ive, and walked away. He
was followed by the prisoner, but two of his neighbours,
who discerned what had passed, and suspected the nature
of the application, immediately marked a sixpence, which
they contrived to slip into his hand, unseen by the pri;o-
ncr, and, upon the latter renewing his importunities, he
gave him the marked money. A policeman came up soon
afterwards, and the p-isoner was g v2n into custody.
Polce constable G 175 produced the vetie2 he
had taken out of the prisoner's hand.
The prosecutor's friends identified the money as the
same they had marked.
Mr. Bilvottaat said the charge had been clearly made
out against the prisoner, and he should order him to pay
the extreme penalty of 10/., or be committed for three cam
lender months to the House of Correctfon.

The gat.,l,.r was about to remove the prisoner, when ti e
latter turned round to the Magistrate, and said, I sup-
pose I may have my sixpence niter this ?"
Mr. BINGHAM—Most unquestionably not.
The prisoner was then led away in custody.
