POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSH.

STEALING NEWSPAPERS,—A boy named Henry Agar
was brought before Alderman Hunter charged with
hiving had a number of newspapers, which had been
stolen, in his possession.
Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-office, attended

to watch the case on behalf of that establishment. He
stated that the authorities of the Post office were
anxious to show to the public that the numer •us com-
plaints as to the miscarriage of newspapers did not arise
from the negligence or misconduct of the servants. In
all probability they were, he said, caused by the want
of proper care upon the part of the newsvenders, who
entrusted boys with vast quantities of journals, which
became thus, in consequence of the carelessness of some
and the dishonesty of others, subjected to considerable
diminution in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, in
which they ought all to have been deposited. In the
present case about fifty newspapers had been sent by a
newavender to the Post-office, in the care of a boy who
by some means, lost them near the establishment; and
the person in the country to whom they had been di-
rected, supposing that the fault of the non-delivery lay
with the Post-office authorities, came to town to com-
plain of the injury. It was at the moment discovered
that the papers, instead of having been posted, had been
partly sold in the newspaper market opposite to the
building, by the prisoner, who was no doubt in confederacy
with persons of more experince in such matters, by which
false imputations were cast upon the system observed
in that important department. It was thought necessary
to look to all cases of the kind with great attention; and
It would be seen from the evidence to be adduced that
the newsvenders were bound to exercise more caution
than was at all usual with the mass of them in deposit-
ing or causing to be deposited the newspapers they
wished to put in the box. A letter had appeared in the
Times of the day before from a gentleman of Shaftes-
bury, complaining of the non-arrival of newspapers di-
rected to him, and casting blame upon the Post-office;
but some notion might be formed of the losses expe-
rienced in newspapers in other ways when he mentioned,
and it could be proved by the officers in attendance, that
in a great variety of instances b ,ys were to be seen in
the vicinity of the building tearing off the directions and
selling the newspapers. That the evil would be greatly
abated by observing the caution he suggested there could
be no doubt, from the fact that an extensive newsvender
who looked himself to the business of depositing the pa-
pers ho transmitted to the letter-box did not lose one out
of 5,000.

Jame Collins, a poor woman, who sells fruit in Little
Bell alley, said the prisoner called upon her and offered
to sell her some newspapers at a very cheap rate. As
she could not read she shoed them to her son, who
told her what they were, and that they were papers of
a recent date, and she immediately gave the boy into
custody, and found that he had been getting them in a
bad way.
Mr. Beale, publisher, of Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, said,
I have seen the prisoner in the newspaper market, near
the Post-office, but do not know him. On Friday last I
sent three boys with packages of newspapers to the
Post-office. The p ipers produced by the officer answer
the description of those contained in one of the pack-
ages, which was addressed to Mr. Blanch, of Batb. I
saw the parcel packed. It contained several numbers et
the Illustrated London News, Weekly Times. Lloyd's
Paper, IVews of the World. and Repolds's Newspaper
That parcel never reached the Post-effice. On Friday,
in consequence of a stoppage which took place near the
Post-office, the window was kept up fire minutes longer
than usual, and there was, I understand, a great rush in
consequence of the impediment. The package in which
the newspapers I have alluded to were deposited was
dragged in the crowd from the boy's shoulder, and no
doubt got amongst thieves. There is always at such a
time a vast crowd, and it is easy for persons who pretend
to be assisting extensive venders to run right through
the Post-office.

Mr. Joseph Jennings, newivender, said—On Friday
afternoon I was in the market, opposite the Post-office,
and I saw the prisoner. He was calling out London
News, and I purchased six copies of him and paid him
for them.

The prisoner said that a boy had sent him to the mar-
ket to sell the papers, and had given him ls. 6d for per-
forming the business.
The father of the prisoner said that no doubt the child
had been put up to the robbery.
Alderman HUNTER—I wish that some of the fellows
who urged this boy to dispose cf the stolen papers bad
been brought before me. Upon them I would inflict the
heaviest punishment. I can only sentence this prisoner
to 14 days' imprisonment. I think that a great deal de-
pends upon the caution used by the venders as to de-
positing their packages, and I would advise a more
strict attention to that sort of regulation. I also think
that the inspector of that district should exercise great
vigilance when the packages of newspapers arrive at the
Post-office in the evening.
The prisoner was then committed to prison for 14
days.

GUILDHALL.
Johnson Wood, a man about 40 years of age, de-
scribed as a commission traveller, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Alderman Moon, charged with obtaining
goods to the value of 601. and upwards under false pre-
tences. He was also charged with illegally pawning a
piece of hat plash, value about 20/., the property of Mr.
E. H. Davies, agent to M. Faessler Pezzi, silk manufac-
turer, of Paris and Lyons.
It may be in the remembrance of some of our readers
that, about six or eight months ago, a person of the name
of Edward Matthew Macklin was committed from this
court for obtaining 6001 worth of goods of the same par-
ties, representing that be required them as samples to
submit for inspection at the great houses of business in
and about London. On the examination it was shown
that Macklin had been acting in concert wick the pri-
soner, who had hitherto contrived to elude the vigilance
of the authorities.
Mr. Davies, in stating his case, said—l was obliged
to bribe prisoner's servant, Thomas Ward, in order to
enable me to take Macklin. The prisoner got out of the
way at that time, and I have been on the look out for him
ever since. From information I received that prisoner
was in Manchester, I went there on Wednesday last,
and applied to the authorities for a warrant to apprehend
him, which, however, was refused, as the offence was
not committed within their jurisdiction, and I applied to
this court, and a warrant having been granted, prisoner
was apprehended.
Prisoner said he would reserve his defence, and be
was then remanded for additional particulars.
MARY LE B DIVE.

CUTTING ♦ND WOUNDING. --:iksterday William
Franklin was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton
for final examination, on the charge of cutting and
wounding George Smith, a private in the 17th Lancers.
A great deal of evidence was gone into upon a former
and the present occasion, and it appeared that on the
night of the 28th ult, the prosecutor, with two of hie
comrades, was walking along the Hampstead-road, when
the prisoner called him a "swaddle," and knocked him
off the footpath into the carriage-way. Some altercation
and a few rounds at " iistycuffs" took place between
them, but they were speedily separated by 79 and 224 of
the S division of police. Prosecutor then found that he
had been stabbed, and ho believed that the prisoner had
committed the injury upon him with a knife, as ho had
seen one in his (prisoner's) hand just before the blood
streamed from his forehead. He was conveyed to the
London University Hospital, where he was attended to
by the house surgeon, Mr. White, who described the
wound to bo an incised one, an inch and a quarter in
length, and cut to the bone. The said wound had evi-
dently been caused by some kind of instrument, and not
by a fall on gravel or any stones in the road
In answer to the Magistrate,the officers said that there
had not been any knife found.
The prisoner repeated what he had said before—viz.,
that he had no knife in his possession, and that he
never carried one about him; adding, that the injury
done to the prosecutor must have been occasioned by his
falling in the course of the scuffle and fight which they
had together.
He was fully committed for trial on the charge of cut-
ting and wounding, with intent to do some grievous bo•
dily harm.

THE LATE OSAMU: AGAINST A POLL—Adolphe Cza-
plantzi, a Pole, was brought up for re-examination,
charged with haring, by false and fraudulent represen-
tations, endeavoured to obtain money from Lord Leigh,
30, Portman-square.
The particulars of what transpired upon previous ex-
aminations have already appeared in our paper.
Some additional evidence was now brought forward
by the Mendicity Society, but as the case was not looked
upon by the magistrate to be one upon which he should
be justified in convicting the prisoner, who was lavish
in his abuse of the Polish Association, he was discharged.

mate paupers under his c:7.re, would not be prosecutill by
the pari-h authorities.
I; will be recollicted that at the last and final exami-
nation Mr. Ballantine, the counsel for the prosecution,
pressed for the committal of the accused to take his [Hal
upon the charge of indecent assault, which be said be
felt himself bound to do in justice to the party prosecut-
ing and to the public.

'Mr. aillantine now attended on the part of the parish,
and Mr. Wontner for the mater.
_ _

Mr. C,nnbe on Monday last committed the accused for
trial, but yesterday having been appointed to take, the
&positions and foully conclude the procaedings, he ap-
peared to the bail, and took his position, as furnietly, in
the felons' dock, when
_ _

Mr. Ballantine rose, and addressing Mr. Combe, foal
that the case against a person named John Henry Eaton
had been heard for an indecent assault upon a girl
named Eliza Smith, a pauper, and from time to time had
occupied a considerable portion of the time and attention
of the Court. At the last examination, after listening to
the evidence, he (Mr. Combe) asked him (Mr. BallAri-
tine) whether he would press for the committal of the
accused to take his trial. lie did so, and he (Mr. Combe)
committed him for trial. Since then, however, he had
weighed over in his mind the statements made by the
various witnesses, and had arrived at a conclusion, in
which he felt no doubt the Beach would concur with
him. He was of opinion that if the case was sent
before a jury a conviction could not take place,
and ho felt it to be his duty to communieate this
to him (Hr. Combe). lie then referred to the
evidence of the girl Eliza Smith, in some parts
of which she was contradicted by the witnesses for the
defence. Mr. Bradshaw, the master of Hampstead
Workhouse, and Lamb, the gate-keeper of St. Pancras
Workhouse, who were respectable men, had contra-
dicted the girl, and ether witnesses, especially a girl
named Hurley, who was formerly a pauper, and now a
servant out of the workhouse, and not under the control
of Eaton, gave evidence favourable to him, and made
.Eliza Smith's statement inconsistant with truth. Other
statements were gone into with reference to the stare of
the intellects of the girl Smith, and it would appear she
was of weak mind, and there was a question winether
it was not impregnated with a fuse notion against the
master of the workhouse, Eaton. Under these cir-
cumstances he would now ask for his discharge, and he
hoped it would prove satisfactory to the Court and the
public._

- Mr. COMBE listened attentively to the Learned Gen-
tleman's address, and said he had felt eolith-I.:ruble
difficulty in the case, and after the speech of Mr. B ,l-
lantine he would discharge Mr. Eaton, but, he added,
" I purposely abstain from making any further obser-
vation."

Mr. Eaton then bowed and loft the bar, when he
joined bis friends, and getting into cabriolets in readi
nPss opposite the entrance of the court, they drove off
in the direction of the workhouse.

THE MURDER OF A POLICEMAN IN
VAUXHALL-WALK.
Yesterday Patrick Cane, John Hickey, James
M.Elligatt, Dennis Harrington, John Fahey, William
Burke, Dennis Shanahan, and Edward Shanahan, who
have been in custody since Monday morning lest, on a
charge of being c-ncerned in the murder of Henry
James Chaplin, a police-constable, in Vauxhall•welk,
were placed at the bar of the Lambeth Police-office,
before Mr. Elliott, for further exeminaion; and Thomas
Lynor, Thos. Burke, and Edward Stelling were
charged for the first time with being also engaged in the
brutal murder.
Mr. Games, who attended for the whole of the pri-
soners charged on the previous occasion, appeared fer
five of theta on the present; and a Mr. Nielo was pre-
sent for the others.
In addition to the evidence given at the previous ex-
amination the following was adduced :
Michael Connor said—l reside at No. 49, Vauxhall-
walk, and work at the Landon Gas Factory, Vauxhall.
I know all the prisoners, and saw them on last Sunday
night at a raffle at the White Lion public-house, to
Veuxball-vralk. I went there at about twelve o'clock,
and left in company with the prisoner, Dents Shanahan,
at about half-past twelve. On our way home we met
with two women, with whom Shanahan got into conver-
srtion, and I left them and went home and had my
supper. In about a quarter of an hour after, Dennis
Sbanaham came in and went to bed. All the prisoners
live in the same house except M‘rAligate and Stelling.
In about three-quarters of an hour after, Shanahan arid
myself went to bed. The other prisoners came in and
I heard a noise both inside and outside the house.
In his cross-examination, the witness said that Dennis
Shanahan was quite sober, and before going to bed had
folded up his clothes and put them into his box, and was
as quiet as any one could be. He (witness), though
at the raffle at the White Lion on Sunday night, old
not see any dice, but did see some cards.
To the Magistrate—All the prisoners had been drink-
lug, but neither of them was out of the way when he saw
them.

C. Margaret Cole, the wife of Robert Cole, a labourer
at the London Gas-works, said—All the prisoners, with
the exception of M'Elligate and Stelling lodge at my
house, 49, Vauxhall-walk. I was at the White Leon on
Sunday night, but was at home and in bed long before
twelve o'clock. I heard the prisoner Cane come into
the passage, and was awoke by his noise. I opened
my bed-coon door. and saw him (Cane) in the passage
with my servant Ellen Dunn, who was endeavouring
to prevail on him not to go out, but he seemed ,e-
-termined on doing so. I saw that he was bleeding fr
a wound on his face, which was covered with blood, end
he said that he had been struck by a policeman. I ad-
vised him not to go our, but he said he should, and did
go out. I went into my bed-room, and iu about a quar-
ter of an hour heard a noise in the passage which in-
duced ma to get out of bed and go into the passage, and
there saw Cane, Hickey, and Harrington, in the act of
going into the cellar, when I followed to see what was
the matter. I saw that Cane was cut and bleeding, and
Hickey took a basin to get some water to wash it. At
this moment the servant called out, and on my going up
stairs I saw the police coming over the palings, and I
said I would open the door for them. Hickey stood at
the wash-house door, and one of the policemen, on tee-
ing him, said, " Here's one o f theta," and took Hickey.
He resisted, but I advised him to go, and before he got
to the outer gate I saw his face streaming with blood,
and that was the first blood I saw on Hickey. When he
came in I saw no blood on him or Harrington. After
taking Hickey away
.the policeman returned and took
the prisoner Cane in the passage. After Cane was
taken away I went down into the kitchen, and there saw
the prisoner Lynor, and asked him what was the matter,
and what it was all about? He said it was a bad job,
for when he was coming home he saw a man lying dean
in the street, near the Q teen's Head beer-shop; that it
was a policeman, and that no one was near hie). He
said that he bad been to see two (emits home to Lam-
beth-walk, and saw the man on his way home. The
prisoners Hickey, Cane, and Harrington, came home
together, and when the police were taking Hickey I sew
the prisoner William Burke come d 'wn stairs in hie
stockings and partly undressed, and I advised him to go
to bed again.
In cross-examination, the witness said that it was
after Cane had returned home and gone out that be and
the prisoners Hickey and Harrington came home to-
gether. She went into the room where Thomas Burke
slept. but could not say she saw him in bed, nor did she
recollect telling him that the police had taken Hickey.
Saw Hickey before be was taken, and was quite sure he
had no blood on him. The police had a great struggle
with him to get him out, and she had not the least
doubt that while so engaged the police struck him, and
inflicted the wound on his forehead. Hickey was in the
act of going with a basin to get some water to wash the
face of Cane when the police rushed in and seiz:d him.
The witness, when pressed on the point, and after some
reflection, said it was her impression and belief that she
had seen Thomas Burke in his bed.
Ellen Dunn, servant to the last witness, and who had
been examined on the former investigation, was called,
and said that the prisoner Lynor had come in some time
after Hickey and Cane had been taken away, and on
her asking him where he had been ho said to see two
girls borne, and that as ho was coming back ho saw a
policeman stretched on the side of the road, and that as
he was coming by he struck him, or struck against him,
she did not know which.

Mr. Elliott—See if you cannot recollect, and nay which
was? Witness—l think he said he kicked him when
he saw him down.
At the suggestion of Mr. Inspector Carter the witness
was asked if the prisoner Lynor did not say that he had
given the last kick; but she denied h sviug heard him
use such expressions. The witness, in reply to a ques-
tion also suggered by Mr. Carter, admit d that when
the prisoner Cane first came home with his face cut aral
bleeding, he had a hat on, and this he changed for a cap,
and went out wearing the latter. The witness was ex-
unlined and cross examined at considerable length %bout
the periods at which the prisoner came home on the
night in question, but her statement did not differ mate-
rially from the testimony she had given on her former
examination.
Police-constable Puddyhatt, 98 L, deposed that about
ten minutes or a quarter to one o'clock on Monday morn-
ing he saw the prisoners Lynn, Thomas Burke, and two
women, in Vauxhall-walk, standing bye railway arch
between the White Lion public-house and No
Vauxlsall.walk. As he passed them one of the *49*
women
said, "That is not the man that locked
Z°1149 is it?"
go.
and one of the men said, " Let us One of the
women asked him if he should be on the beat the follow-
ing night, but he made them no answer.
Mr. Elliott—What was the reply made •to the first
question of the female ? Wit/10111-1 did not bear it,
your Worship,
Police-sergeant Charles Burger Goff, 4 L, said the
White Lion was at the end ot Vauxhall-walk. and the
distance from it to 49, where the prisoner lodged, was
1;8 yards, while the distance from it to where the
constable was murdered was 663 yards ; so that in
going from the White ben they must have passed their
residence by about 400 yards. Witness, on being in-
formed of the murder on Minchy morning, and see-
rs in possession of one of the conatlblee,
examined the precir and gardens ot the different
houses in the neighbcotusrhood, and found that they had
been taken from 121,
Vauxhall-walk, the garden of the house No.
l-walk, a distance in the direction of the pri-
Rotten.' residence of exactly fifty-three yards from ve hei •
they had been found, and %ben the body of Chapin !ay.
Mr. Inspector Carter s ..._he id had other ~vide nee to
adduce, but be did not think it prudent at the present
clog() of the inquiry to prriduct, his witness. but should
request a further renamed of all, except the pri-oner
Dennis Shanahan, whom he believed to he perfectly in-
nocent ,If any participation in the murder.
Mr. Games was glad to hear this declaration on the
part of the inspector, as he believ. d it to he pPrfec.l),
true; and he should. therefore, as he was a man who
bore an unimpeachable character, apply for hie innue-

diate discharge.
Mr. Elliott consented to the request, and remanded the
other prioouers to a future, day.

Th c ‘urt daring the inq'iiry was much crowded, and
the brutal assassination has created a most lively 50,
cation through the p,ii h of Lantieth, and particular!!
ain"n".". the inhabitants of that part of it where ChiPlitt
did duty.
At, the end of the uxatnination, the magistrate sug•
gesied to Mr. Inapt ctor Cartfr the propriety of the Go-
vernment effering a reward to any person, except the
really guilty partici. who had witnessed the act, and
who would come forward as witnesses, so that the per'
petrators of the brutal offence might be broghl t 6
