POLICE.

ATANstoN-Hous7.—Yesterday J. Davis, charged
with stealing a bill of exchange, for the payment of
35i. 15s. from a man named Knight, who had in-
trusted him to get it discounted, was remanded by
the Lord Mayor, for farther examination, until he
should consider whether he ought to be committed
for felony or fraud.
Henry Priest, a hackney coachman, was charged
with stealing 35i. 15s. from a man of the name of
Donnell, under the following circumstances.—The
prisoner had procured a man, named Wootton, to be
the purchaser of a hackney coach and horses from
the prosecutor, for which he was to receive two
pounds agency. He retired along with the prose-
cutor to the Black Horse, Aldersgate-street, and
contrived, during conversation, to ease him not only
of his agency fee, but of the whole of the purchase-
money, and then decamped. He was lay com-
mitted for trial.

THE LATE VIURDERS.---The result of the re-
cent private examinat;ons of Alblas and Hart, at
Bow-street, has exculpated them from anv partici-
pation in the horrid murders of At:l-r and
son's families, and both are now discharged from
confinement. It is but justice to these unfortunate
men, that the attention of the public should be di-
rected to the circumstance of the stria caution ob-
served by the worthy Magistrate at Bow-street. It
will be recollealed, that on the night of Williamson's
murder, /MIAs was in company with the suicide
Williams, drinking at the Black Hdrse, New Gravel-
lane. At half past eight o'clock they left the Black
Horse, and went to Williamson's house, where Al-
bias left Wilharm, and went home. To prove the
69, Mr. Graham was anxious to trace the most
minute particulars, sod after repeated investigations,
the statement of Alblas fortunately corroborated the
alibi proved by several witnesses, excepting on
that occasion, Alblas was far from being the com-
panion of ; and although he was confined
for some time on suspicion, the lenient treatment he
hail experienced alaeliotated his situation, and the
Magistrates, on discharging him, have offered a
remuneration, which has satisfied Alblas for his re-
cent sufferings.
The case of Hart, who was discharged yester-
day, was, unfortunately for him, more strong in
justification of his detention. Hart was a car-
penter, employed in the repairs of Mr. Marr's
house at the time of catastrophe. In consequence
of a tool bring found in the houie belonging to his
employer, which was supposed to be missing, he
was examined at the Thames Police Office, and was
discharged. It was rather singular that Hart lived
opposite the Pear Tree Public-house and on the
night of Williamson's murder, he went home intoxi-
cated, and remained on the step at the door without
obtaining admittance. In this predicament he was
discovered by the officers, who bit-ought him up for
further examination to Shadwell Office, and the. M-
agistrates investigated the subject four times, and
each time the accouni Hart gave of his coedua
corresponded with the evidence of other witneates.
'to appease the agitation of the Public, the Magis-
trates at Shadwell Office ordered Hart to be sent to
Wlfitechapel, where he was again examined and
discharged, on the assurance of his forthcoming for
further investigation. The worthy Magistrate at
Bow-street was impelled, by a sense of duty, to en-
deavour to sift the coincidence of events against
Hart, particularly as he was in the habit of di inking
with the suicide Williams at the Pear 'Dee public-
house. Hart acknowledges • the indulgence he re-
ceived in prison, and as he was placed in a similar
predicament with Alblas, the Magistrates, it is sup•
posed, will also remunerate him, Irons a coos iation
of his innocence.

The !Magistrates at Shadwell most generonoy
compounded with the creditors of Mr. Vertniiloe,
and effLeted his release from prison.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the ships PAH Howe, of
876 tons, and the Diann, of 605 ions, were.taken
up (or one voyage in the Company's service.
There is, at the Cape of Good Hope, an animal,
in the water, called Insee, well-known by its alarm-
ing consequences, bui seldom seen in England. One
of that kind, from the child of a respectable me►-
chant in the city, may be seen in Dr. GARDNER'S
Museum, 74, Long-acre, expelled by his Worm
Medicine. The cries of the patient were unbearable
while this monster, having four horns, six legs, and
twelve feet, was devouring its vitals. Strange to telt,
it lived 8 days after expulsion front the bowels, and
the child was safely cured. Dr. GARDNER gives ad-
vice fuur days in eact►. week, at his houses, Long-
acre, and -Sboreditch.
Sunday night Mr. Philpot's shop, in Turnstile,
Holborn, was attacked by a gang et robt,ers. Their
noise awoke Mr. Philpot, who got up, lookei out
of his bed-room window, and sprung a rattle,
which alarmed the villains, and he saw three men
run away from his shop. On examining the shut-
ters, it was ascertained that they had been tried in
twelve places. The thieves had forced an opening
below, which proved only to lead to the place where
the shutters ale kept, and not to the.shop.
