THE

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Henry Stevens was charged with having robbed
Mr. James Wason, solicitor, of Myddleton-square, of
his gold watch, chain, and seal.
Mr. Wilson said, about nine o'clock on Monday
evening he was coming through Tottenham-court-
road, when the prisoner suddenly pushed against him,
thrust his hand into his waistcoat pocket, and drew
out his gold watch, which had a small key attached
by a chain to it. He immediately called out " Stop
thief !" and pursued the prisoner, who ran to a cab-
stand, and dodged in and out among the vehicles.
Prosecutor kept the prisoner in view, and never lost
sight of him but for a moment, when he was sur-
rounded by persons who had assisted in securing him.
Prosecutor was robbed of his watch close to a gas-
lamp, and he had therefore a good opportunity of
seeing the face of the thief. He was certain the
prisoner was the man who had stolen his watch.
The police-constable who received charge of
the prisoner said the prisoner laughed at the charge,
and said they had got hold of the wrong person.
John Vincent, pawnbroker's assistant, 127, Totten-
ham-court-road, said he heard the cry of " Stop
thief !" about nine o'clock, and he seized the prisoner
and held him until the policeman came up. The i
stolen property could not be found at the time. Wit-
ness was shutting up shop at about ten o'clock, when
he saw a small key hanging on the railings under-
neath the shop-window. He took it up, and found
it was the watch and appendages stolen from Mr.
Wason. The prisoner was fully committed.
GLERKEN WELL.
Henry and John smith, brothers, the former fur-
teen and the latter nine years of age, were charged
by teen,
W. Nichols, a respectable tradesman, residing
in Marchmont-street, Brunswick-square, with having
been concerned in a robbery.

whom to suspect until last Sunday evening, when he
resolved to send his fa mily to church and remain at
home himself, when he concealed hinbelf in the
counting-house, with a view to discover the thieves.
He had not been there long before he saw the pri-
soners on the tiles of an outhouse, when the elder

them as the sons of a highly respectable
residing in the neighbourhood.
Mr. Sidney,
of Hatton-garden, who attended for
the prisoners, said they were the sons of a highly
respectable gentleman, and they had no cause what-
ever to resort to such a disgraceful mode of obtaining
money.
Their father was in court affected to tears.
The younger prisoner said he was prompted to
the offence by his brother, which the latter did not
deny.
Mr. Nichols said he d'd not wish to press the
charge against the younger prisoner, as he thought
he was led on by his brother. They were both very
young, and he considered that some summary punish,
ment ourht to be inflicted upon the elder prisoner.
Mr. TYRWHITT said he had only one course to
adopt, that was to commit the prisoners for trial,
unless he (Mr. Nichols) pressed for their discharge.
Mr. Nichols, after some hesitation, said he viewed
the case with a parent's feelings, and as their father
was so highly re,pectable a man, he would not press
the charge against the prisoners.
Mr. TYRWHITT said, it did him infinite credit. He
remonstrated with the prisoners on the impropi iety of
their conduct and the disgrace they had brought
upon themselves and family. They had a very narrow
escape, and ought to feel grateful to the prosecutor
for his consideration and lenity. If he had pressed
the charge against them, they most assuredly would
have been sent before a jury to be tried for the felony.
He_ hoped this would be a caution to them for the
remainder of their lives, and he would now discharge
them.
They then left the court with their friends in tears.
Harriet Bodes, a pretty- looking girl, twelve years
of age, was placed at the bar charged with having
committed numerous robberies. It appeared that on
Tuesday evening last, about six o'clock, the prisoner,
in company of two other girls much younger than
herself, was observed in front of the shop of Mr. Moss,
pawnbroker, of Goswell-road, and being suspected by
the shoptnan, he went out and missed a shawl and
other articles, which had just before been outside the
shop for sale. He followed them and stopped the
prisoner, who bad a basket, but her companions ran
away and escaped. On searching the basket the mis-
sing articles were found, together with numerous
others, and it was evident that she had been levying
her contributions at other shops in the neighbour-
hood, which proved to be the case, as after she was
given into custody inquiries were made, and the
property found was traced to have been stolen, and
the owners attended and identified the prisoner as
having called at their shops on pretence of making
trifling purchases, and the articles were missed after
she had departed.
The priioner's mother attended with the two little
urchins who were with her—her sister and cousin,
the latter an idiot.
The prisoner said nothing in her defence, and she
was fully committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.
James Murphy, a powerful-looking man, apparently
about fifty years of age, was brought up for re- exa-
mination charged with feloniously assaulting Hannah,
his wife, an elderly, quiet-looking woman, who was
very unwilling to prosecute her husband for the in-
juries he had inflicted.
The prisoner, who denied the offence, was com-
mitted for trial and the witnesses bound over to pro-
secute i • but he was ordered to be brought up again on
Saturday, in order that the evidence of the medical
gentleman, who was not yesterday in attendance,
may be added to the depositions.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
AFTERNOON SILTING.
At the commencement of the afternoon sitting. Mr.
Chill hinded in a soveretn, as a contribution to the
10.0001. fund, trim a friend to the cause.
The CHAIRMAN said he had received a letter from
some individuals, which insulted the Assembly, by call-
ing upon it "to disperse."—(Laughter.)
STANDING ARMY.
Mr. RANRIN moved, that " This Assembly is of
opinion that a standing army is contrary to the prin.
,iples of the Bri:ish Constitution, and inimical to the
liberty of the subject. We, therefore, recommend to
r.he country the propriety of holding large public meet•
ings in favour of a gradual abolition of the army, by
allowing the men to retire upon giving timely notic,-;
also, in favour of abolition of flogging, an equalization of
pay, the raising of officers from the ranks, and a better
provision for veterans, such provision to be according to
the length of service, and to be given either in money or
in land."
Mr. HENRY seconded the motion, which was carried
after several delegates had expressed themselves
strongly against the enslaved condition of the British
soldier, and their especial abhorrence of the brutality of
flogging.
At a subsequent period of the sittin.. Mr. M'GRATII,
who had absent on a deputation toe Mr. O'Connor,
gave notice that he would move that the resolution be
rescinded.
th"r' HENRY moviql that an address, explanatory of
enslaved condition of the British soldier,' be issucd,
lot to the baneful efforts of the recruiting
sergeant.

Mr• STEVENSON seconded the motion, which was
