POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

On Saturday Henry Grant Robinson, a young man
of respectable appearance, was charged with em-
bezzling several small sums of money, the property
of his employer.
George Bowden, a bookbinder, of 1, Little Queen-
street, Holborn, said the prisoner was in his sen ice
as shopman, and it was his duty to keep accounts and
receive money. On Monday week he directed the
prisoner to go to the shop of Mr. Gladwell, an artists'
colourman, in Gracechurch-street, to receive the sum
of 11. 165.51, which was due to him. Th 3 prisoner
left for the purpose, and on his return sai,l it was not
convenient for Mr. Gladwell to pay then. Witness
went the following day for an explanation, and then
saw Mrs. Gladwell, who gave him a receipt for the
amount in the prisoner's handwriting. The prisoner
never accounted to him for the money.

Henry Gladwell, son of Mr. Glad well, of Grace-
church•street, proved that he saw his mother pay the
money to the prisoner, who gave her the receipt pro•
duced.

There was a second charge against the prisoner, of
obtaining money from Mr. Davy, an artists' colour-
man, of 83, Newman-street, Oxford-street.
It appeared that the prisoner called on him on the
15th or 16th of August, for the payment of a little
account due. Mr. Davy told him, as there was a
per contra account, for goods delivered to Mr. Bow-
den, he would be obliged by having a general ac-
count made out, on receiving which he would settle.
The prisoner called again the following day and re-
ceived from Mr. Davy 11. 17s. 9d., for which he gave
him an acknowledgment, now produced. Mr. Bowden
declared he had never received the amount in ques-
tion, and the prisoner, who reserved his defence, was
committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
On Saturday John Donavan was finally examined
before Mr. Hardwick, on charges of having embezzled
various sums of money belonging to his master, Mr.
David hams, tobacconist, 193; Oxford-street, to whom
ht had been for some time errand-boy.
Mr, Davis' grocer, 5, Dorchester-terrace,-Bays-
water, proved having paid him three several sums of
money, and produced receipts for cash in the pri-
soner's handwriting, and he was fully committed for
trial in each case.

MARYLEBONE.
On Saturday Jeremiah Tibbetts, a carpenter, was
charged with having committed a burglary at the
residence of Mr. Edward Gee, Kentish- town.
It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Gee hav-
ing been alarmed in the middle of the night by a noise
in the lower part of the house, called a policeman who
was passing, to assist her in examining the house. In
the back kitchen it was discovered that a pane of
glass had been removed, and the sash opened. Fur-
ther search was made, and the prisoner was then
found in the water•closet of the adjoining house. A
quantity of cigars and a plated candlestick, belonging
to Mr. Gee, was picked up close to where the priso-
ner had concealed himself. Some wine and brandy
had also been removed from the house. The prisoner
was taken into custody, and it appeared that he had
lately been employed as a journeyman carpenter in
Mr. Gee's house.

The prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence;
was committed for trial.
CLERKEIVWELL.

On Saturday Sarah Bishop, and her sister Ann
May, were charged on suspicion of causing the death
of Harriet, the daughter of the latter.

Sergeant Harris, No. -17 E, who had an hour pre-
viously apprehended the prisoners, said that he had
seen the body of the deceased, who appeared to have
arrived at the age of three years. The marks of vio-
lence on its body had induced him to have it examined
by a medical man.
_ _

Mr. A. M'Gill, of No. 1, Argyll-place, St. Pan•
crag, deposed that the prisoners lodged in his house
for the last 20 weeks. He had from time to time
heard dreadful cries from the children of Mrs. May.
On Wednesday last, in particular, he listened to the
feeble groans of a child, whom he believed to be the
deceased. Mrs. May had seven children. Saw the
deceased last about three weeks ago. The door of the
room occupied by the prisoners and their family had
been since kept fastened. They were very distressed,
and he supposed that the cries arose from hunger.
Two months ago he applied to Mrs. May fbr rent,and
they were in absolute want of food, with which he in-
stantly supplied them. Her husband was formerly a
respectable tradesman in Little Coram street, but had
deserted them, and was, he believed, in America.
Other witnesses corroborated this evidence.
Mr. Popham, surgeon, said that he had made a
post mortem examination of the deceased, who had
died from the effects of violence. There were several
distinct marks of blows on its head; for instance, one
on the temple, one on the crown, and two at the back
thereof. Both collar-bones had been fractured, and
had united from natural chance. That dreadful injury,
however, must have occurred some considerable time
back.

Mr. TTRWHITT—What was the immediate cause
of death ? Witness—A rupture of one of the large
blood- vessels on the brain.

Mr. TYRWIIITT—Can you form any opinion in refer-
ence to the manner by which those injuries were in•
flicted ? Witness—Blows on the head would do so
without fracturing the skull. Found the prisoners
and children in a state of starvation, and without a
vestige of furniture. Death could not have resulted
from the effects of a fall. There were other injuries
of a serious character at the bottom of the abdomen.
Deceased had probably died within two hours after she
had received the injury he had before described.
The prisoner May, in her defence, stated thdt at
one o'clock on Wednesday last, her sister, Mrs.
Bishop, came to her while she was working at Mrs.
Turner's, 6, Weston-place, and informed her that her
child Harriet had had a fit, and at eight o'clock in
the evening of the same day she came to her again,
and told her that it was dead. She knew no more
about the unhappy occurrence.
The prisoner Bishop, by theadvice of the magistrate,
made no defence, and they were both remanded until
after the inquest.
