POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Bow-STREET.—Yesterday Claudia: Samuel. Deranges,
Jean Bonnet, and Guillaume Domaine, alias Delatre, three
Frenchmen, were brought before Sir R. BIRWIE, and under-
went a very long examination on the charge of having, by vie-
lent threats, extorted from Monsieur Thebommery, a trench
merchant, residing in the' City of London, certain valuable
securities, namely, 290 shares in a Mercantile Company, calkti
" The Paris and Madrid Woollen Cloth Company."
It appeared by the testimony of .several witnesses that some
time ago a company of merchants in Paris obtained from' the
King of Spain a Royal Concession" for the exclusive mast'.
facture of woollen cloths at Madrid, and agents were
pointed by the Company in various parts of -Europe for me
sale of shares. The agents in London were. Blessrs,Evarth
and Thebommery; of Broad-street, City, who had been en-
trusted with 1,000 shares for sale. The, banker to the Coin-
pany at Paris is Monsieur Vernet. Some shot f time ago the
defendants went to the Gentlemen above mentioned, and
themselves to he employed by M. Vernet, the Paris
banker, to raise money for him upon the shares whieh.klessrs
Evart and Thebommery had in their possession, and desired to
be furnished with a quantity for that purpose. The shares were
then at about 451. per share, and were in the nature of Excho
quer bills, bearing interest, and payable at Madrid or Paris,
Messrs. Evarth and Thebommery refused to part with any of
the shares until they were better satisfied that the defendants
had authority to dispose of them. Desanges pressed repeated-
ly to have some supplied to him, and said he knew a capitalist
who would immediately advance money upon them. After
being several times pressed to give the name of his capitalist,
Desanges, at length, said it was Kinnear. The defendants
repeated their demand several times, and. were as often po-
attively refused, at which it was stated they became desperate-
ly enraged. A few evenings ago they went together to
the private counting-house of Monsieur Thebonnuem in
NiCholas-lane, Lombard.street, and finding him alone, "they
commenced a series of threats, -which were to be put in
execution, unless he gave up to them the shares which he had
in his own possession. They said, among other things, that
they would immediately. publish a letter, which should affect.
the credit of the Company, and also the credit of their (Mess,e
rs.
Evarth and Theboininery's) house, and Bonnet s
would plunge a poignarti in the heart of M. 'lliebommery, un-
less their demand was complied with. Under the terror of
these threats, 31. Thebommery gave up 290 of the shares in
question, with which the dcfendantsleft the house. Mr. Evarth.
came in before they left • the house, and found his partner in
a great fright, and the defendants in as great a passion, butte
was too late to prevent them from obtaining the shares. 3.1
Thebommery immediately conveyed information ofthis
trans
action to the Company at Paris, and on Tuesday night 31
•
Pierre Audriel, one of the managing partners, arrived in Lon-
don, and a warrant was obtained from Sir Richard Birnie for
the apprehension of the defendants. Bishop, Morris, and
Nichols, took them into custody in a few hours. • , t
The above facts were sworn to ; and M. Audriel swore tpa
the shares were the property of himself and partners, and Oa.'
they had given the defendants no authority to dispo.se of OLT.
