POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Willim Piper, aged 43, and Justin Guun, aged 40,
were placed at the bar before Alderman Finnic,
charged, the former with having in his possession a
quantity of fancy soaps, supposed to be stolen, with-
out being able to render a satisfactory account of
them, and the latter with robbieg his employers,
Messrs. Price and Co., perfumers, of Lombard-street,

City.
Robett Packman, a detective officer, said—ln con-
sequence of information I received, I went to Mr.
Smith's, oil and colourrnan, 87, London-wall. I was
in the back part of the shop when I saw Piper come
in and ask Mr. Smith what he was to have for the

soap he had left. There were two parcels of fancy
soap. Mr. Smith offered Lim 9,1., and prisoner was
going away contented, when I told him I was an
officer, and took him into custody. He said the soap
was his own property, but on my asking him how
he became possessed of it, he said that he would not
account to any one how he got it. He gave me a
wrong name and address. The goods were labelled
with the tame of Price and Co., of Lombard-
street. I ascertained that Piper lived at No. 8,
Great Tower-street, and I accordingly went there
and searched his lodging,, and &mid seventeen
packages of various articles in perfumery. I then
took him to the station. From further information I

obtained I afterwards went to Gunn's lodgings, at
No. 6, Tnree Kings-court, Lombard-street, where I
found 201 b. of yellow soap, 61b. of fancy soap, 4 balls
of twine, 8 pots of bears' grease, 7 bottles of hair oil,
2 bottles of some kind of essence, 4 pots of pomatum, '
4 hair-brushes, and some hair and violet powder. These
articles were all secreted in various parts of Gunn's
apartment. He implored me not to take any notice
of the articles when I first discovered them. They are
all labelled with the name of the firm of "Price
and Co."
George Smith, oil and colourman, London-wall,
said—l know the prisoner Piper. He brought some
goods to my house on Thursday last, and asked me to
allow him to weigh them. After he had weighed them
he told me they were fancy soaps, and that they were a
job lot he had bought at a sale at a chemist's shop in
Aldgate. He took out two packets, each containing
three smaller packets of brown Windsor soap, and
offered to sell them to me. He said he had 12 large
packets altogether, containing 36 smaller ones, and he
would let me have them for 4s. 6d. I offered to buy
the lot after I had opened the parcels and seen the
quality of the soap. I then asked him for his name
and address, and he said it mils " William Johnson,
No. 14, Crutched-friars." I returned Piper the two
parcels he first showed me, and he left the shop. In
the evening I went into Aldgate and made inquiries,
the result of which was, that there had been no
sale of a chemist's stock at all in that neighbourhood.
I then went to Crutched-friars, but there was no No.
14, neither was there any one of the name prisoner
gave me known there. I returned home and gave
information to Packman, the officer. Piper called
again in the morning, and said the auctioneers had
mislaid the other parcels, and he promised to bring
the white Windsor in the course of the day. He ac-
cordingly called again, and said the white Windsor
had been disposed of. I then asked him what I
should pay him for the two parcels he had left, and he
said 93. The officer then took him into custody, and
gave him the soap.
Mr. W. Philips Hughes, of the firm of Price and
Co., said—l know nothing of Piper, but the goods
found ou him I believe to be a portion of our stock.
We have not missed any, but having 20 hands em-
ployed in our establishment it is very easy for any of
them to take goods away in small quantities without
our missing them. Gunn has been in our employ for
the lust 15 years. He was the superintendent of our
snap factory. I believe the goods found at his lodg-
ings are a part of our stock; but I could not swear
they are, as there is no mark upon them to show they
have not been sold. The property altogether is worth
about 201. We paid Gunn 265. per week.
Alderman FINNIS-It appears that this is a case of
great suspicion, and I shall therefore remand it for a
few days for further inquiry ; but as it has been stated
that Guon is in a very delicate state of health let him
be recommended to the medical attendant of the
prison as soon as he enters, and see that he be placed
in the infirmary.
The prisoners were accordingly remanded.
BOW-STREET.

Janies Clark, a carman, and James Collins, a corn
mission agent, were re-examined before Mr. Hal
upon five distinct charges of robbing the London
Docks and defrauding the public revenue.
Mr. Ballantine (instructed by Mr. Beverley, from
the Customs) conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis,
solicitor, attended for Collins, and Mr. Humphreys
watched the proceedings on behalf of the London
Dock Company.
The Learned Counsel for the prosecution said that
he should confine the evidence on the present occasion
to three of the alleged transactions, occurring in Dec.,
1849, and Jan., 1850.
James Burton said he lived at 63, Oakley-street,
Lambeth, and was formerly a housing foreman in the
London Docks. Clark, the prisoner, came to the
docks for a hogshead of sugar, and on that occasion
witness agreed with him about taking away some
bags of coffee. Witness gave him two bags in 1849, and
two more in December. He abstracted the bags from
the pile called " sweepings," composed of between
70 and 100 bags. They were not sweepings, but had
been previously abstracted from ships' cargoes, with
the sanction of the company, and by the express di-
rections of their officers. Witness had repeatedly
assisted in such abstractions, by the order of his super-
intendent, a Mr. Nothcote, who was still in the ser-
vice of the Dock Company. The pile in question had
been taken in this manner from three ships. The
order to make up the " sweepings" into casks, bags,
or cases, according to their respective qualities, would
issue from the superintendent's office, by the direc-
tion of the Dock Company, and the commodities
would be regularly weighed by their check clerk.
Witness never heard of any duty being paid upon
these goods. They were always abstracted from the
cargoes before they were examined and weighed by
the Customs' officers, and usually while the landing
waiters were at their meals.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The first statement
which I made upon this subject was about a fortnight
ago, to Mr. Beverley, of the Customs. I had heard
that Collins had made a statement, and I waa induced
consequently to make the disclosures. No promise was
held out to me. I was a convicted thief before I
went into the Dock Company's service. About ten
years ago I was tried at the Central Criminal Court
for robbing my master, and was sentenced to tw o
years' imprisonment, but, owing to a representation
made upon the subject to Lord Normanby, I was re-
leased before the expiration of twelve months. The
only other robberies I have committed were the dock
robberies. I have robbed 300 ships by the direction
of the superintendents of the Deck Company; and I
have known hundreds of tons of goods to be di.posed
of for the benefit of the company. If these are felo-
nies I have certaily committed hundreds of felonies.
Mr. Ballantine—A man who commits a felony
by the direction of his employers may not be the real
criminal in the transaction.
Cross-examination continued—Hundreds of men
have assisted me in abstracting goods from the vessels.
I could mention many of their names,— 3ackson,
Jacques, Draper, Bateman, Lawrence, Hayter, and
others.
Mr. Humphreys, as the solicitor of the Dock Com-
pany, said that any one of their servants would be
forthcoming, if required, to explain any matter iu re-
lation to the present inquiry.
John William Bennett proved that he lodged in
the same house with the prisoner Collins, and re-
membered bags of coffee being brought to him early
in January, 1850. A man named Bellamy took
them away in a truck. He once said to Collins, " I
do not like to see Sweepings' on the bag, as Mr.
Sharp will think the quality is inferior, which is not
the case." Witness had seen Burton with Collins at
his house.
James Langtry, a grocer, of 9, Salmon's-lane,
Limehouse, proved that he had purchased coffees of
Collins, whom he had known for two years as a travel
ler for Mr. Freeman, in Love-lane. Early in January
he brought a bag of fine plantation Ceylon coffee to
witness, and the prisoner Clark was his foreman.
They drew up their cart on the opposite of the road,
and when witness mentioned the circumstance, Col-
lins replied that it was the stupidity of the carman.
The bag was brought across to witness's shop, and
witness paid the market price for it. They had other
similar transactions at other times.
Mr. Sharp, a grocer at Mile-end, deposed to having
made similar purchases of Collins.
A warehouseman named Edwin Hook, in the
employ of the London Dock Company, and a carman
named William Staenard (whose name had been re-
ferred to by Burton, the accomplice), were next ex-
amined, but their memories did not serve them suffi-
ciently to aid the inquiry.
Mr. Humphreys was next examined as a witness
for the Crown. lie deposed that he was one of the
solicitors to the Dock Company, and, in that cepacity,
v.as authorised to receive a statement made by the
prisoner Clark in June last, with a view to a sub-
sequent prosecution against somebody. Such a state-
ment was made to witness in the presence alai) of a
Mr. Chandler.
Mr. Ballantine—Will you have the goodness to
produce that statement, or state the purport of it
Mr. Humphrey s—l object either to produce the
statement or to disclose what that statement was, on
the ground that it was made to me as the solicitor to
the company, under en implied promise that it should
not be used as evidence against him. I believe the
Deck Company would not, object to my producing the
document, but I do so on conscientious grounds.
Mr. HALL allowed the objection.
Mr. Ballantine said this would be the case for the
prosecution. There were other charges, but they
would not be proceeded with at present.

" We have very unpropitious influence in operation
both hostile and aggressive, causing broils and commo-
tion, attended with national troubles and disasters,
threatens embarrassment to the Government, and me-
nacing to the tranquillity of the country, incendiarism
and miEchiel, a crisis generally trying prevails; as the
autumn of 1851 approaches, it will be seen the remarks,
when collectively taken, will be fully borne out, whether
from foreign or domestic aggression." So far the pre-
diction.

The reader will make the application, bearing in
mind the date of the prediction, and the time of its co•
incidence, the effect upon the Government when the
voice of the cation relative to the aggression, &c., comes
before Parliament remains to be seen. I shall here
state that on or about the Bth of April will be the " crisis"
of the session of 1851, it will be remembered the
" crisis" of last session coincided with my prediction, and
was within. an ace of proving fatal to their continuance
in office; and the national excitement, &c., &c., above
referred to, only precedes the words of the prediction one
month, though printed and published in Dec. 1847, three
years prior to the scenes being enacted, bat now moving
side by side.
From the original pub4ation of the Horoscope in
1838, the marriage of the Queen. birth of the Princess
Royal, resignation of Ministers, and every event of
national importance, has been thus truthfully predicted.
Cheltenham, Dec. 31, 1850.

TAUNTON.---RECANTATION OF POPISH ERROR.—
A most interesting and impressive ceremony took place on
Thursday morning last, at the church of the neighbouring
parish of Corfe, where a young lady, in the presence of the
congregation assembled for the usual service of St. Stephen's
day, renounced the errors of the Church of Rome, and was
received into the communion of the Church of England,
after which the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was admi-
nistered to the convert and the clergy present, and others
who remained to receive the communion with her. Morning
prayer was read by the Rev. Richard Mate, curate of Trull,
and the communion and recantation services were performed
by the Rev. Gilbert 11. West, Incumbent of Corfe, assisted
by the Rev. F. 13. Portman, rector of ;:taplefitzpaine. The
Revs. II T. Tucker, rector of Angersleigb, and William
Parish, curate of Bickenhall, were also present. The form
of recantation used on the occasion was that of Aiehbiehop
Wake.—Somerset County Herald.
TRING. -- HUNTING ON THE RAILWAY. —On
Thursday week, a stag turned out by Baron de Rothschild,
followed by about thirty couples of hounds, jumped on to the
railway near Cheddington, and dashed along the cutting in
the direction of Tring, at a time when both the up and down
mails were due. Our old friend Tom Ball, although dread-
ing that both the hounds and the stag would be destroyed,
did not lose his presence of mind ; and getting on to one of
the bridges, luckily succeeded in calling the hounds off the
line pri rto either of the trains coming up. The stag, how-
ever, was unfortunately cut to pieces.—Bucks Chronicle.
RESTORATION OF WELLS CATHEDRAL.—It is stated
that the works which have been for some time past in abey-
ance, will be resumed forthwith, the necesary funds having
been provided by the Very Rev. the Dean, assisted by other
dignitaries of the Church.— Sherborne Journal.

Mary Jane and Julia Brown, sisters, were finally
examined, charged by Mary Farley, of Spread E3gle-
court, Gray's Inn-lane, with having violently
assaulted her, by which her life was placed in danger.
It appeared that at half-past one o'clock on Friday
morning, the 27th inst., the prisoners waylaid the
prosecutrix and beat and kicked her about the
head and body until they left tier for dead. She
had ever since been in the Royal Free Hospital in a
dangerous state. She was yesterday brought
up by Farley, 243, and Bodulan, 125 G, who appre-
hended the prisoners.

Beans tsken in retail at former prices. Peas neglected.
During the present week the transactions in the trade
have been of the most trifling character, and to have
