POLICE INTELI,IOENCE.-Aug. 5.

MANSION-110 USE.—Joseph Persia was charged
before Sir G. Carroll wish having stolen a cash-box con-
taining 441., the property of his employers.
Mr. James Turnhaw, cashier to the North of England
Insurance Company, at No. 11, Cheapside, said—The
prisoner was employed as a servant to the company, and
on the 30th of July last ale•iconded from his employment
without notice. Atter he was gone, I found my desk had
been broken open, the key of the store room abstracted,
and that room opened, and the cash-bex, which contained
441. and voucher-, gone. I have since seen the cash-bo4
in the hand-5 )1 the police, and la-t night the prisoner
came to me at my re,idence, No. 10, Kin William•
street, and I gave him into custody. He said nothing to
ine, nor did I say anything to him. He was crying when
I saw him. Yesterday a person called upon me whom I
to be the prisoner's brother, and I went with him
to the station-house in Bew.lene, where he gave to the
iw-peetor 16/ , viz , a 51. note, and 11/. in gold. I hail
described one of the sovereigns to the police, and one of
those 11 was that I bad described, and formed, I believe,
part of the money stolen with th• $ eb•box.
A metropolitan policeman said— When I took the pri-
soner into custody upon Mr. Turnhamn'e charge, he was
crying and sail he was sorry. As I was taking him to
the station•house, he said he had spent part of the money,
been robbed of part of it, and sent part of it back, and
the cie,h-b:x he had thrown away.
Toe prisoner aus committed for trial.
Mr. Samuel Newman, a person of very respectable
appearance, was brought before Sir G. Carroll.
A policeman said that bet.veen 11 and 12 o'cleck that
day the prisoner came to him in a very excited state and
said a gentleman wanted to see him. The prisoner then
broke a pane of glass in the house of the gentleman, who,
however, refused to give him into custoey, when taken
into the house and pointed at as the delinquent. The
Prisoner then drew a pi,tel from his pocket and pre-
sented it at the door of the house, and witness told him
that he must go to the station-house, and the prisoner,
whose anger had increased, declared that if a person
who was in the house were to make his appearance, the
pistol should be discharzed at him, and be had another
pistol for himself. At the station house the two pistols,
loaded with powder and ball, and capped, were found
in his possession.
The prisoner said his wife and family had been ruined
by the person against whom be had used the threats,
and who had robbed him of 11,0001. His poor family
would not have a bed tai lie on that night in consequence
of the treacherous conduct of the man he alluded to.
A gentleman in court said he believed there was
nothing at all to be apprehended from the defendant,
although at that moment he was in a very excited state.
When that ebullition should pass away there would be
no fear of the consequencie.
Sir G. Carroll raid he roust require, as securities for
the peaceable conduct of a gentleman capable of such
eenduct as had been described, tern sureties of 1001.
each and the defendant himself in 2001.

GUILDHALL. Citas. Richards, a jlurneyman
baker, out of place, was charged before Alderman Challis,
on remand, with stealing a bag, containing about 6/. in

silver.

The complainants, Mary and Ann Sales, keep a chan-
dier's shop in Bridgwater-gardens. The defendant be-
came acquainted with them by serving them with bread
about four months ago. He paid his addre-ses to Mary,
and having been accepted, his visits were constant there
until last Thufsday evening, when Ann went out, leav-
ing her sister and the prisoner together. He was sitting
on the sofa, and was several times left in the room by
nary, who had to attend to the shop. When the pri-
, -wner left he promised to return, and shortly after he
was gone the bag containing all their little stock in trade
was missed. Finding he did not come back as he pro-
mised, they made inquiry after him, and then found he
had not been to his cub as he said, nor bad he slept at
his lodgings on that night. On the following morning
Ann Sales went to look after him in the neighbourhood
at Regent's-park, and found him at his uncle's. She de-
sired him to go her to her siiter, and he consent?d
to do so, but on the way he ran off. She raised the cry
of stop tsief, and he was captured. It was then dig-
covered that although lie had been a long time out of a
situation, and was shabbily dressed previous to Thursday
evening, he was then dressed in his best clothes, which
had not been visible for a long period. He had a gold
ring on his finger, and 1/. 7s. 21 in his pocket.
Alderman °nallie said he should not let the prisoner
,scape justice, and he wou:d therefore remand him again
and Have the matter placed in the hands of an experienced
detective, to try and trace the money. There was not a
moral doubt but that be bad stolen the money, and if he
I had any conscience he would restore that which was not
loandered. His conduct had been most cruel and
heartless.

BOW-STREET.—Harry Broome, the eu•champion of
England, and propri,-ter of the Norfolk Tavern, in the
Strand, waited on Mr. Henry.
fdr. Broome stated that in passing through Duke-
street, Lincoln's-inn fields, he saw three little children
huddled toge, her on a straw mattress on the footway
pavement. O❑ inquiring how they came there, he found
the youngest, an infant in arms, was suffering from small-
pox, its face being frightfully disfigured, and the poor
child, it appeared to him, was in a dangerous state. He
►earned on inquiry that the parents were out of the way
—no one cluto Fay where—and the landlord bad turned
the children out, and put the bed and some other articles
into the street. The eldest girl (abo'it 12) told him they
had been to the workhouse and were refused admission.
lie hoped the magistrate had power to do something for
them, as it was really fearful that a child in such a state
of disease should be out in the streets.

Mr. Henry would send an officer with the children to
the work house to recommend their admission, and should
that be refused he would give an order.
Blunden, the sumaeonieg, officer, was accordingly sent
with the children to the workhouse. They were at once
admitted, and it was explained that there had been no
actual refusal. Some out-door relief had been given,
broth and other necessaries being supplied ; but the re-
lieving officer had ultimately stopped the supply, offer-
ing to receive the whole family into the house. The
father and mother had rejected this proposal, and the
officer declined to receive the children without them.
This, however, had been done on the receipt of the ma-
gistrate's message.
John Callaghan, Dennis Callaghan, Catharine Calla-
ghan, and Mary Callaghan, four of the Irish inhabitants
of Urange-court, with broken and bandaged heads, and
laces so covered with blood that the features were
evarcely distinguishable, w.re charged with disorderly
conduct.
The prisoner Mary Callaghan had, on the previous
day, charged two women, named Macarthy and Stark,
with assaulting her,by way of revenge for giving evidence
sgelinst them in a former case. Macarthy and Stark
w re fined 4/. each, and in default sentenced to a term
,if imprisonment. After the case was disposed of, Dennis
C.:llashan, the husband of Mary Callaghan, when on his
say home from the court, gave vent to his joy at the re-
sult by executing a jig round an itinerant fiddler, who was
performing Irish melodies in Orange.court. This brought
ups!, him the summary vengeance of a zealous Macar-
thy, who cut his heal open with a spade, and in a fear
minutes all the Macarthys and Callaghans in Orange-
evert joined in the fray, which assumed the character of
3 regular faction fight. On the approach of the police
I al' but the four prisoners disappeared, hut these re-
mained in possession of the ground, loudly challenging
thsir opponents to return. The police, after much vain
expestulation, restored quiet by removing the prisoners
to the station.
Mr. Henry, after a long and patient investigation, de-
cided upon discharging the prisoners, who had already
suffered euough, and granted them warrants against
those of the opposite faction who appeared to have been
the first aggressors. The magistrate observed that he
was determilied to do all in his power to put down the
1 system of intimidating and assaulting witnesses.

CLERKENWELL.—Mr. Frederick Ward, of No, 7,
