POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STHEET—(TIIIS Dayt./ohn Jones, a coachman,
was brought before the Sitting . Magistrate, 'l'., HALLS, Esq.,
charged with stealing a silver watch, two gold seals, key, &c.
the property of Mr. James Pownall. The party, it appeared,
had been drinking together during the greater part of .Friday
last, when before they separated the prisoner contrived to steal
the articles in qu.stion. On being apprehended neat morning,
he said he knew what it was for, and produced -the dupliea-e.
The prisoner in his defence admitted taking the watch, &c.
but declared he had no. intention of keepin., it, and.being in
want of money to pay his lodging, caused him to pledge the
property. He was committed.
illAsstax-IlousE.-7A warrant was graved by the I tmtu
• Moron to Mr. Messer, coach and harries: raker, of No. 14
Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, to search for a carriage,
which he made affidavit had been stolen•from him, by a young
man who pretended to be the nephew of the Duke of .Argyll,
and was detained upon the premists of Mr. Dixon, the proprie.
for of the Horse Repository in Barbican. licadbetrer, the mat-
shalman, executed the warrant, and Mr..Messcr and Mr. Disoil
(the former attended by a ('ounsA and Solicitor, the latter by a
Solicitor), appeared before his Lordship,. for his decision upon
the case. A. warrant is out against the pretended nephew of
his Grace, and.some difficulty arose as to the poWer of the Lord
Mayor to interfere in the absence of the person charged with the
felony.
Mr. Messer stated, that one Laurence Campbell called at his
house on the Saturday, the 4th of SepurnhA, and saying that
' he was the son of Cam. Campbell, and the nephew of the Duke
of Argyll, intimated that he wished to have a carriage for a
fortnight. Witness agreed to let him have the carriage 21.
a-week, upon receiving satisfactory intelligence as to charac.
ter. Campbell referred witness to his• landlady, who gave
him an unexceptionable character, and said he was the per=
son he represented himself to be. The carriage wits lent
under those circumstances, upon the positive understanding
that it should be returned in a fortnight, and an agreement
on the above-mentioned teems. Witness( asked Campboll
whether he had means to support the carriage ? " Yes," said
Campbell, " I have 700/. a-year." The possession of such a
property was proportionate to the expence of die hire, and wit.
ness having taken what he conceived to be a necessary precou.
tion, thought himself secure. The time elapsed, and no car,
riage, and no Mr. Campbell, returned. At last it was tweet.
tatned that. the carriage was. lit Mr. Diston's Repository, and
that Laurence Campbell was s swindler.
Mr. LAW, complainant's Counsel, now wished to examire
Mr. Dixon as to the mode in which he became possessed of • he
carriage.
_ _

Mr. Dixon, fur some time, refused to give the requir.xl ex.
planation, according to the advice of his Solicitor ; but the 140
Maros, at length, succeeded in getting an explanation, anti
Mr. Dixon said, that on Saturday the 9th inst.-a person with
whose face he .was called upon him, accompanied by a
gentleman, and said that the gentleman hatl'a carriage to dispose
of, and asked whether he (Mr. U.) would lend any money on it.
lie said he had no objection to do so, and if they would step.
into the countingshouse his clerk would the business with
them in the usual form. He knew nothing more of the trans.
action until Mr. Messer called upon him, but he knew that
the carriage was left on, his premises, and be believes that
the suns of 341. was advanced: i.. Campbell was, he believed,
the person to whom the clerk
_paid the check, and the eat.
Hoge was said to belong to Mr. but who either ut
them was, he (Mr. Dixon) did not know except by address
and sight. Only one of them he knew by sight, and that was
Campbell. When Mr. Messer called upon him he had just
arrived from Brighton. He told Mr. Messer in answer to his
demand, that he had advanced money on the carriage, an..l
upon upon being threatened with an action in trover, referred
that gentleman to his Solicitor. He denied that Mr. Messer
had mentioned that the carriage had been stolen from him.
Thomas Seers, clerk to 3r. Dixon, stated that „Campbell
called as his master had described.

Mr. LAW then again submitted that Mr. l)ixon should
enter into recugnizances to appear; his own recognizanNs would
be sufficient.
The bonD lifaxo.lt said he should require nothiqg of tlic•
kind. It couhl not be meant to charge Mr. Dixon with buyir,
the carriage knowing it to have been stolen. Whatever Indis-
cretion he might be charged with in advancing money to a
stranger, there was not the slightest ground for accusation of a
criminal nature. Ile (the Lord Mayor) spoke from his expe-
rience and his knowledge of the business.- De could see per-
fectly well that the transaction, although chargeable certainly
with irregularity, might arise very naturally In the course of
business.

The born MAYOIL then ordered Leadbetter to gve up the
carriage to Mr. illes4er, and Mr. Dixon intimated that the casa
should not end in the Justice-room.
Won Vesterd ay, Edward Ha m+
brought up for final examination and fully committed on a
charge oflugh way robbery, and a murderous assault on a woman
named Drew. The particulars have already been published._
The parties were bound over to prosecute.

Mr. B. LITTLETON, the gentleman who fought
a duel on Saturday with a Mr. 110oEtts, near
Primrose-hill,and who was wounded in the side,
lies ut his residence in Portland.street in a very
precarious state. The ball grazed the side, and
the report was that the wound, which perforated
the flesh nearly half an inch, was not dangerous;
but on Sunday morning symptoms were very un.
favourable, attended with much fever.
