POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.
A lad aged 16 was placed at the bar before Mr. Ald
man Johnson charged with robbing his master, Mr. Brt34°
a solicitor, residing in Falcon-square, Aldersgte-stroeto
Ma*chant, an inspector of the City police, stated( taue,
Mr. Bruton informed him four five-pound notes nor'l
stolen from his office desk, and that he suspected a Feo
who had been a long time in his employment as cler ago
disappeared a few days ago ; yet having placed cor,fidene,
in him for a. length of time he did not desire his allfr-,
hension except on incontrovertible evidence. He ("id.
chant) having made inquiries relative to this pers/30 A 45-
den disappearance, found that it arose from pecuniary
culties quite independent of his connection with Mr. v'c
i
ton. Suspicion was therefore directed to another source`
and some fourpenny pieces being marked were left
ails
night on the desk, which upon searching the prisoner "
morning were found in his pocket.
ing
The inspector not having had an opportunity of lE6cre,
the notes as yet, requested that the prisoner might belied
nded for a day or two, whiehlwas accordingly come
ith.
