POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION-HOUSE.

Thomas Johnson, porter to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne,
carriers, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having stolen a truss of silk of considerable value.
_ _

Mr. Riches, managing clerk to Messrs. Chaplin and
Home at the South-Western Railway Terminus, stated
that the prisoner had been engaged by him in the middle
of June as a delivering porter for the town, and that on
the 24th of November it was the duty of the prisoner to
deliver parcels which came by the railway in different
parts of London. There were 36 parcels altogether to
be delivered by him on that day to various consignees,
and amongst them was a truss addressed to Machin and
Sons, Twisters-alley, Bunhill-row. On his return to
the station he said he had met with a bad job and lost a
truss. Witness said he did not understand such a story,
and desired him to send the boy in who had accompanied
him. Finding that the prisoner did not go quickly, the
witness went out and saw the prisoner talking to the
boy. The witness, upon questioning both, found a great
discrepancy in their statements, and suspecting the pri-
soner, looked to the delivery book, and found that the
missing truss was a truss of silk worth 125/. Further
inquiry confirmed the suspicion, and the prisoner was
given into custody.
Joseph Webb, porter, residing at No. 7, Little Lant-
street, Borough, stated that on the 24th instant, as he
was going up Blackfriars-road, he saw three parties
whom he knew to be bad characters, and he followed
them to Smithfield and into St. John-street. After he
had watched them for some considerable time, he
observed one of them go through a lane leading into
Charter-house-square. Upon getting into the square he
saw a green cart with a brown horse in it, and in that
cart were three persons, and the cart was drawn up to
the waggon which the prisoner drove, and witness saw
the prisoner put a small bale into the cart. It was some-
where about five o'clock, and nearly dark, and the three
parties in the cart drove off. Witness came down into
Smithfield, and the driver of the cart whistled to his
horse, and it went off at a handsome pace.
Inspector Woodruffe requested that the Lord Mayor
would remand thecase till Tuesday week...

The prisoner said he did not know at all how or where
the robbery took place, and that he was equally ignorant
of the contents of the truss.

Remanded till Tuesday week.
Charles Cotton was charged with having robbed James
Finnis of a watch. _ _

It appeared that the prosecutor went into a clothes
exchange for the purpose of making a purchase, at
twelve o'clock in the day. The prisoner suddenly
whipped the watch out of the prosecutor's waistcoat
pocket and ran, but handed the watch to an accomplice
as he went along, and it was lost sight of. Barney
Aaron, who has ascended from the character of
a fighting man into that of a constable, stopped the thief
with skill and effect, although threatened by some ruf-
fians in the neighbeurhood for interfering.—Committed
for trial.
