CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
OLD COURT.

Alfred Jvnes, 20. was indicted for feloniously aiding and
counselling one Thomas Smith to commit a felony.

Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution.
It will be remembere.d that, at the December session, a
man named Thomas Smith was indicted, with a woman who
passed ashis wife, the termer for stealing a 101. note, the
robbery being accompanied with menaces and violence, and
the woman for receiving the note, knowing it to have been
stolen. The robbery was of an aggravated character. The
man went to the house of a lady named Hambdon, in Cold
Harbour-lane, Camberwell, and he sent up a letter to her
by the servant, in which money was demanded, and a
threat also, that if it was not given some men, who were out-
side, should be called in, and that their lives should be
taken. The prisoner th,,n produced a pistol, and under the
terror produced by his c,-nduct a 101. note was given
pto him, which note gas changed by the woman.
the nest day, and this led to the Charge being made against
her. She was, however, acquitted, but the man was found
guilty and sentenced to be transporte,i for life. The prisoner
now before the Court was charged being an accessory
to the offence by being cognizant that the robbery was about
to be committed, and with having himself written the letter
that was taken by the other prisoner, and these facts were
clearly-brought home to him.
Thejury found a verdict of Guilty.
Inspector Campbell, who appeared to have been instru-
mental in getting up the case against the prisoner, and who
appeared to have been very active upon the occasion, in
answer to a question from the Court, said that the prisoner
had been two or three times summarily convicted for attempts
to commit felony.
Mr. Baron PARKE sentenced the prisoner to be transported
for fifteen years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
A very well-dressed man, who was on the police-sheet
called Robert Wilkinson, was brought before the Lord Mayor
yesterday upon the charge of having stolen a teapot in a sil-
versmith's shop.
Samuel S. Benson, shopman to Messrs. Sari, of Cheapside,
stated that at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening the pri-
soner walked into the shop, and, snatching up a metal tea-
pot of the value of 21., ran towards Backlersbury. Witness
pursued him, overtook him, and gave him into the custody
of a policeman. The moment the prisoner was seized he
threw down the teapot.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner whether he wished
to ask the witness or the policeman any question, to which he
replied by only shaking his head.
The LORD MAYOR—From whehee do you come? Pri-
soner—Come ! From the north of England.
The LORD Meson—What are you? Prisoner—Nothing
new. I have been a schoolmaster.
The LORD MAYOR—How long have you been in Loudon?
Prisoner—roe some time.
The Loan Meson—Do you wish to say anything' about
this matter, or about yourself ? Prisoner—Nothing.—r4m-
mitted for trial.
James Wade, the captain of a gang of vagabonds who la-
fest Whitechapel, was charged with having assaulted a po-
liceman.
The prisoner walked into the station-house in Bow-lane,
and insisted upon taking up his quarters there for the night,
and not only refused to leave the place, but made the most
intolerable noise. Although the man was known to the
force as a nuisance of the first magnitude, he was calmly
expostulated with by the officer on duty, who, finding that
gentle dealings would not do, locked hien up in a rosin. It
soon, however, became necessary to try other means with so
refractory a customer, as, by kicking at the door, as well as
by roaring, he put the nerves of the officer to too severe a
test, and his boots were taken from him, but not before
he contrived to blacken the eyes cf the policeman who per-
formed the office of lackey.
Several policemen said the prisoner was the principal of a
formidable set of fellows, who resided in. what were called
the Whitechapel bloodholes, and that lye was at all times
ready to engage in any undertaking a.gainet the public peace.
The Prisoner—The police are a set of co:rarda. lam able
for half-a-dozen of them if I have fair play.
The Lorin Mayon—l think this case ought to go to the
sessions ? Prisoner—Aye, that's the best thing you can do,
I'd 43 soon go there as anywhere else. Ctimmit use at once,
