POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAASION-HOUSE.
William Elmes was summoned before the Lord
Mayor on Wednesday, for having language used to Mr.
A. R. Snelling calculated to lead to a breach of the

peace.
The defendant objected to the interference of the
Lord Mayor in a case in which his Lordship could
have no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the place in which
the alleged offence had been given was not a public
place, but an auction-room.
The LORD MAYOR overruled the objection, the
place being not only a public place, but a place to
which the public were very earnestly invited.
Mr. Snelling, of No. 95, Vauxhall-street, Lambeth,
biscuit baker, said—At about a quarter to one o'clock
on Friday I was passing along the Poultry, and I
stepped into No. 39. I was on the pavement outside
the door. The defendant was in an auction box, and
_ _

attempting to sell by auct;on. I heard bidders,
and I saw about a dozen persons present. As
I was standing at the door, the defendant called out ,
for somebody to be off. I, not knowing that the
words were intended for me, remained there till the
defendant pointed me out, saying that I had been
there long enough, and that he knew me, and he
also knew my brother. I asked him what he knew
of me. I was still standing outside, and to that
question he answered that the sale was over, and I
might be off. I then went away, and on my way
back I observed two women entering the shop, and I
had the curiosity to stop to see whether they were
really purchasers, and I observed tea-spoons and
sugar-tongs round the place for sale. The defendant
was putting up these articles to auction, and I heard
2s. 11d. bid. I was behind some people outside the
door. At that time there were about two dozen
people in the place. The moment I showed my face,
the defendant called out, " Beware of your pockets
and hats, there is a thief near me." I, not knowing
to whom he referred, stood till he pointed at me, and
said, " I mean that smart young fellow with the
spotted scarf
.on." I stepped up to the counter, and
asked if it was me he was referring to as a thief, and
he said, " Yes; you are a known thief and a vaga-
bond." I again asked him if he really meant me,
and he said, " Yes • you are a thief," and I said I
should prove that iwas not, and I would call the first
policeman in who went by, and I did so, and stated
my complaint.
Mr. Abbott, of High-street, Kingsland, com-
merciel traveller, and another witness, who were pre-
sent, confirmed the account given by the complainant
as to the application of the opprobrious language.
The defendant's attorney insisted that the Lord
Mayor had no jurisdiction in the case, and that his
client was perfectly justified in using every means of
getting rid of the presence of individuals whose object
it was to interrupt the business of the auction-room,
which he again contended was not a public place
within the meaning of the Act of Parliament.
The LORD MAYOR said, the room in the Poultry at
which the offensive proceeding had been adopted was
for many years a great annoyance and nuisance to
the neighbourhood, as was pretty well understood by
the City magistrates, to whom innumerable complaints
had from time to time been made against persons
officiating as auctioneers, by people who were silly
enough to speculate upon purchases. His Lordship
then convicted the defendant, and fined him in the
penalty of 20s.
WORSHIP- S TREE T.

A young woman, Mary Martha Stepson, attended
before Mr. Arnold to support an adjourned charge
preferred by her upon a previous day against Thomas
Storer, a police-constable of the H division, of com-
mitting an aggravated and indecent assault upon her
person on the night of Sunday, the 15th inst.
Mr. Medlicott, the superintendent of the defendant's
division, was present to hear the case.
The complainant was now accompanied by several
additional witnesses, amongst whom were City Police-
constable 736, who was stated to be prepared to prove
that the young woman Stenson had complained to
him immediately after the occurrence of the gross ill-
usage to which she had been subjected by the defen-
dant ; and also the servant of the premises adjoining
the scene of the alleged outrage, who had been dis-
turbed by the violent barking of a house dog, which
barking, as the complainant stated, was alone the
cause of the defendant releasing her and desisting
from her further molestation.
Upon the case being taken, the defendant, who
was three times called by Tilt, the usher, did not
make his appearance to answer the charge, and In-
spector llarris intimated to the magistrate that in
consequence of the report of the previous proceedings
being laid before the Police Commissioners, the con-
stable had not only been suspended until the result
of the investigation had transpired, but had received
express orders to attend the court at two o'clock that
day, and had not done so, and he (Mr. Harris) had
now no reason to expect that he would attend.
Mr. ARNOLD said, that under these circumstances
he should order the complainant's statement to be
taken down in the shape of an information, and issue
a warrant for the defendant's apprehension.
A powerful fellow, named Alfred Scovell, was
charged with having broken into the dwelling-house
of Mrs. Elizabeth Webber, in Old Gloucester-street,
Haggerstone, and stolen a large quantity of property.
Shortly before one o'clock that morning, as a pri-
vate watchman, named Pink, was passing at the rear
of the prosecutrix's premises, he observed a man sud-
denly vault over the garden wall. He communicated
what he had seen to a police-constable, N 229, who
searched about, and having discovered a large bundle
at the foot of the wall, secreted himself in an adjoin-
ing outhouse, and after watching there for a few mi-
nutes saw the prisoner stealthily advancing towards
the bundle, and immediately pounced upon and se-
cured him. He conveyed the prisoner to the station,
where the bundle was found to contain a quantity of
expensive female wearing apparel, and, on searching
the prisoner, a trinket box, two pairs of bracelets, and
numerous other articles were found in his possession.
The policeman then returned to the house, and found
that the lower part of it had been thoroughly ran-
sacked, and all the portable articles of furniture, from
the chimney glass and beds down to the very fire
irons, separately packed up and placed in readiness
for removal.
Mrs. Webber stated that she left home at nine
o'clock in the evening, and on her return, about one
o'clock in the morning, she found the back parlour
window had been forced open, and the lower apart-
ments in the disordered state described by the officers.
She identified the several articles produced as being
her property, and sate in her house when she left
home at the hour mentioned.
The MAGISTRATE directed the depositions of the
witnesses to be at once taken by Mr. Vine, the chief
clerk, and the prisoner, who reserved his defence,
was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
CLERKEAV WELL.

Yesterday Henry Scobell, aged 24, a journeyman
carpenter, was charged by Louisa Bradford, a young
woman residing at No. 2, Wheatsheaf-court, St.
Pancras, with having stabbed her with intent to
murder.
The prosecutrix, having been sworn, said she was
a single woman. She occupied a parlour in the
house No. 2, IV heatsheat-court, St. Pancras. On
the night of last Saturday three weeks, about twelve
o'clock, she met the prisoner on Pentonville-hill, and
entered into conversation with him. He accompanied
her to her lodgings, and remained with her for some
time, when they quarrelled in reference to some
money. The prisoner struck her a violent
blow on the head, knocked her down,
and otherwise ill-used her, and stabbed her
with some weapon, on which he rushed out
of her apartment, locked the door, and ran away,
leaving her bleeding. Her cries of " Murder '
brought the assistance of a young man, a lodger in
the upper part of the house, who finding the door
locked, got in at the window. When the prisoner
.stabbed her he said, " There, I have done you, and I
will do it again." She never saw the prisoner after-
wards until Wednesday night at twelve o'clock when
she met him in Pentonville-road, and gave into cus-
tody on the charge of stabbing her. He then said he
had done it, and he would do it again.
By the BEricu—l believe he stabbed me with some
metal instrument. I am sure it was done by the
prisoner's hand, and Lot by falling against anything.
Asked him for the key of the room, and he said he
would stick to it.
John Turner, the lodger, said he lived in the upper
part of the house, 2, Wheatsheaf-court, St. Pancras.
On the above morning, between one and two o'clock,
he was in bed, when he was alarmed by the cries of
"Murder." He went down stairs, and knocked at
the door of the prosecutrix's room. The prisoner,
who was inside, said, " What do you want ?' Wit-
ness inquired why he had been ill-using the woman'
He replied, " You had better get a light and see.'
I returned to my room to get a light and dress my-
self, and when I went back again I found her covered
with blood. The prisoner rushed out and locked the
door.
By Mr. TYRWIIITT—When I went to the room on
the first alarm of murder, the prosecutriz said, "The
beast has cut and stabbed me."
Police-constable 73 N deposed that on 'Wednesday
night, at twelve o'clock, he was on duty on Penton.
ville-hill, when the prosecutrix was looking for a
policeman, and the prisoner was about a dozen yards
from her. Heard him say to another woman, "Never
mind, I can soon run away from the policeman. The
prosecutrix said, "I give this man in charge for stab-
bing me." The prisoner said, " I did it, and I will
do it again." She said she had given information to
the police of the E division. He said he had done it,
and would do it again, several times on his way to the
sta.ion-house. He was searched, and a clasp knife
(now produced) with the point broken was found in
his pock;
Mr. Delany, surgeon, of Chaiton-stveet, Somers-
town, deposed that on Saturday, the 14th instant, the
prosecutrix came to him, when he examined her and
found a circular wound near the thigh three-quarters

.......•.......................anuer5........"--
of an inch in circumference, and so large that it bad
the appearance of something having been turned
round in it ; and in his judgment it must
hav6
b een inflicted by some weapon of metal pushed in
with force.
Mr. 'I vewurrr now intimated to the prisoner that
the evidence was concluded, and the time had arrived
for him, if he thought proper, to say an g
ythin in his
defence, but he would caution him that he was not
written
hound to say anything ; if he did, it would be
down and used for or against him at his trial
to at
'tke
the
Ohl Bailey, where he would be committed
his trial.
The prisoner, a tall, raw-boned, sullen-looking
fellow, said, indifferently—" Then I had better net
say anything."
He was then fully committed for trial, and the
parties were bound over to prosecute.
