POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW -STREET.

George Edward Boggis, who was examined at this
Court on Monday week last, on a charge of making use
of inflammatory and seditious language at a Chartist
meeting in Abbey-street, Bethnal-green, was yesterday
brought before Mr. Hall for final examination.
Mr. nobler attended for the prosecution.
Several witnesses were examined, but their evidence did
not at all implicate the prisoner.
Mr. HALL said that he saw no use in pursuing the
examination further, and the witness was desired to stand
down.

Mr. Hobler said he had no other evidence to offer al
present.
Mr. HALL considered that there was quite sufficient at
the last examination to commit the prisoner for ti
Mr. nobler said that the object he had i❑ bringing for-
ward the witnesses was to put the prisoner in possession of
all the evidence he had to offer On the trial.
Mr. HALL told the prisoner, if he had any observation
to make, he waA ready to hear it, but it should be taken
down and used at the trial.
The prisoner said it was the first time he had been ac-
cused of any offence, and he was consequently ignorant
what course to pu uc.

Mr. HALL—If cu are inclined to show that the evi.
dente does not apply, you are at liberty to do so, but ycu
are to bear in mind that I am not trying the case.
The prisoner said that he bad already denied having
used the language ascribed to him.
The former evidence was then read over, at the pri-
soner's request.
Mr. HALL said that the prisoner should be committed for
trial at the Central Criminal Court.

The prisoner hoped that he taken for his
appearance.

Mr. HALL said there was one fact which he could not
kse sight of, and that was that the prisoner had absented
himself for a considerable time.
The prisoner said that he had evidence to sh,w that such
was not the case.

Mr. nobler declared that the prisoner's employers in-
formed him of his absence from his work, and that his
whi,kerswere off on his return.

Mr. HALL, said that there might be conflicting evidence
upon that point, and as it was not a question for him to
try, he had only to fix the amount of
Mr. Hobler said that he did not wish to oppress the pri-
soner, who was only a porter in the house of a firm in
the City, but he was alleged to have committed a very
grave offence, and he submitted that the amount of bail
might be the same as the Chairman Neesom was ordered
to put in.
Mr. HALL, was certain that the prisoner had no reason
to complain of the treatment he had met with from Mr.
Hobler, and he saw no reason why less bail should be taken
than was required ,roes the Chairman of the meeting, who
was himself in 5001., and two sureties in 250/. each.

Mr. flobler said that he would require forty-eight hours'
notice.

Air. HALL—The same notice that was given in the
other cue.

Mr. Savage came forward and requested that four per-
sons would be taken as sureties, instead of two, as it would
lessen the amount upon each.

Mr. HALL said that he had no objection, and after the
names of the persons about to offer themselves were handed
in, the prisonar was removed from the bar,
