POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION. HO USE.

William Wilkinson was brought up for a second
examination upon the charges of having forged two
checks, the one for 1841. 105., the other for 2441.,
on the banking-house of Messrs. Currie and Co., in
the name of J. C. Coverley.
Mr. Charles Jarr.es Coverley resided at No. 4,
Providence-row, and at Lewisham, in Kent. He
knew the prisoner, but had not seen him for the
last year and a half. When he did see the prisoner
ha treated him like a mart. Witness knew the
man from his having gone to see his mother, who
lived as cook in the house in Finsbury for the last
nine or ten years, but had never employed him to
go with checks upon bankers, nor authorised him
to receive money. Witness kept an account at
Messrs Currie and Co.'s, and he kept his checks in
an iron chest, the key of which he always had con-
cealed in a drawer, the key of which he carried in his
pocket. How the prisoner could have got at the
check-book he could not at all guess. Upon look-
ing at the alleged forgeries the witness said the
writing was not in the least like his writing. He
had never given authority to the prisoner, nor to
any other persons, to sign checks for him, and the
prisoner never had seen his writing. He had never
drawn a check for 1841. 10s. on the sth November.
The LORD MAYOR compared the writing in the
checks with the signature of Mr. Coverley to his
own depositions, and there certainly was so great a
resemblance that it was no longer a matter of asto-
nishment that the banker's clerk was in two in-
stances deceived.
He was remanded for some days.
Numerous cases of pickpockets were heard by his
Lordship.
In one case the person charged was said to have
picked the pocket of a gentleman in Middlesex, a
few yards from the limits of the City.
The prisoner said the officer was incorrect, for
the business took place in the City.
The LORD MAYOR—,What business ? Prisoner
—Why this here prigging the clout business, please
your Lordship. The thing wa'n't done in the county
at all, my Lord ; I'm blest if it was.
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly it is important to
you that there is such a distinction.
Officer—My Lord, I think he stole the handker-
chief in the county of Middlesex.
Prisoner—You say I stole the wipe ; there you
are safe I prigged it sure enough ; but then you
see you say it was in the county ; there I'm blowed
if you arn't jilt wrong.
The LORD MAYOR—But where is the prosecutor ?
Officer—My Lord, when I handed the gentleman
his handkerchief, and told him that his pocket hail
been picked, he put his hand to his pocket and said
it was true ; but wh, n I told him he must appear
against the prisoner he threw down the handkerchief
and ran off as if he had been the guilty person him-
self. Witness said that it was a very difficult thing
to get gentlemen to come forward on occasions of
the hind.
The LORD MAYOR said that he considered the
prisoner's authority in this case quite sufficient,
especially as he was well known to the police, and
Bridewell should receive one more guest.

Prisoner--Good luck to you. I'd rather be sent
there to the milldoll by your Lordship than take my
grub with any of the rummy beaks at Worship-
street.

Two young fellows, named Johnson and Smith,
were charged with having stolen a gentleman's
pocket-handkerchief.
In this case the gentleman upon being told by the
officer that be must appear against the offenders also
threw down the handkerchief and took to his heels.
The officer, as he could not call out " Stop thief,"
soon lost him, but he produced the handkerchief,
and said that one of the prisoners whipped it out of
the gentleman's pocket, and with great adroitness
slipped it into the hands of the other, who, upon
seeing that hp was observed, gave it a jerk towards
the victim, and affected unconsciousness.
Johnson said he had just come from sea, and that
he never stole anything in his life.
The LORD MAYOR—Smith, I have seen you be-
fore. I have, I think, sentyou to prison very lately.
Smith—Never ; I never was in prison, my Lord.
It's all a mistake. I never saw this young man be•
fore, %'elp me God.
The LORD MAYOR—What! have you never been
in Bridewell ? Smith—Never, I don't know where
it is, as I hope to be saved.
One of the Officers—A constable who is not now
in the way, told me that Smith is only a few days
out of Bridewell.

Smith—Out of it ! I never was there since I was
born. Where is it ?

The LORD MAYOR—Perhaps you know it by
some other name Smith—No. I am a hard-
working lad, and no thief.
The LORD MAYOR—Officer, are you convinced
that these prisoners were the persons who stole the
handkerchief ? Officer—l am, my Lord. I never
saw a handkerchief taken with such dexterity.
The LORD MAYOR—I must see the officer who
says this boy was in Bridewell before I proceed to
extremities. . . . .

Smith—Depend upon it he is mistaken, if he is
an honest man.

The prisoners were remanded.

A young man, named D. Muckthorn, was charged
upon suspicion. He had been observed in a crowd,
and an officer watched him, and saw him move
about suspiciously, and upon finding that he was
observed dropt a handkerchief.
The prisoner said the charge was a false one.
He was returning from a house where there was a
" flare up" free and easy, at which he had been
taking a couple of pints of gatter (beer), and he
was walking home in his usual way, when he was
tapped on the shoulder and called a thief.
The LORD MAYOR—Pray what are you ? Pri-
soner—l am engaged with others to sing at free-
and-easier, every night in the week, and I get half-
a-crown a night.
The LORD MAYOR—It is an odd way of making
g living, but I believe that many support them-
selves by it.
Prisoner—Everybody knows Bill Somers and his
first and second. Why Drury-lane and Covent-
garden are fools to him. They can't do it at all.
l'm pretty well able for the big theatres myself.
The LORD MAROR—WeII, I hope you were do-
ieg opthing on Saturday night but singing.
Prisoner—What do I want of a handkerchief;
rne got one here.
The prisoner then held up a handkerchief, but he
unfortunately held it in an untidy manner, and two
law holes were exposed.
The LORD MAYOR—I don't think you stole that
at at any rate, and I shall discharge you.
BOW STREET.

LAMENTAI3LE CASE.—Yesterday E. Taylor, a
young woman of very ladylike appearance, was
charged with having stolen several articles of silk,
ribbon, &c., the property of Mr. Pite her employer.
Mr. Pite is a haberdasher and silk-mercer in Cran•
I)onine-street in L&cester-square, and the prisoner,
'who was understood to be most respectably con-
nected, had been some months in his employment
as shopwoman. Mr. Pite had several times seen

her in a state of what he conceived to be intoxica-

cation, but, upon inquiry, found that she was in the
habit of taking laudanum to great excess. He gave
her warning to quit his service, and she was to
leave on Sunday morning. When she was about
to go away he told her that her habits and mode
of dressing were much more expensive than the
salary be had allowed her could possibly support,
and asked her if she had any objection to allow her
boxes to be examined. She said " Certainly not ;"
and Mr. Pite found in one of her trutik4 several
rolls of ribbon, pieces of silk, &c., which he be-
lieved were his property. The prisoner said some
portiOn of them were her own, but admitted that
rtfi". had taken the ,remainder improperly from the
,
(rasvers of the shop. l.:
'- „ ;-The police officer produced the articles, together

44,

/

'l- is

with a bottle of the half-pint size nearly half full of
laudanum.

Sir F. ROE—Was the prisoner labouring under
the effect of this mischievous drug at the time she
made the acknowledgment ? Mr. Pite—Decidedly
so. Indeed, she was scarcely ever free from it.
Sir F. ROE—Is there any one here who knows
her ? A young gentleman, who said he was the
brother of the prisoner, stepped forward, and when
he came to the Bench she seemed deeply affected.
Sir F. ROE—How do you account for this con-
duct on the part of your sister ? The brother—l
can only account for it by her unconquerable pro-
pensity to laudanum.
Sir F. Roe—But how did that propensity come
upon her, do you know 7 The brother—She
came into the possession of a very handsome pro-
Perry when she became of age, and embarked the
whole of it in business on her own account. The
speculation was unfortunate, and she lost the whole.
She had formed an attachment of the strongest kind
to a young gentleman, and the courtship was broken
off very suddenly under circumstances of a melan-
choly description. These misfortunes greatly af-
fected her mind, and she took to the use of lau-
danum. Her friends did all they could to break
her of the habit, and I had her under strict watch
for three weeks, and thought I had completely suc-
ceeded in weaning her from it, but unhappily 1 was
mistaken.
Sir F. ROE—If I take the mildest course I can
with her what is to become of her when she is libe-
rated ? The brother said her friends would take
good care of her in future.
Sir F. ROE—Mr. Pite, can you swear to the ar-
ticles produced ? Mr. Pite—Not positively.
Sir F. RoE—Then I shall convict her under the
Act of a misdemeanor in unlawfully possessing
goods which have been stolen or improperly ob-
tained, and fine her five pounds, and in default of
payment commit her for two months to the House
of Correction, and, in that lapse of time, perhaps
her relatives will think of some mode of disposing
of her.

The brother hoped she would not be allowed the
use of laudanum in the prison.
Sir F. RoE—Certainly not.
The prisoner was then removed.
MARY LEB ONE.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Peter Marsh, a fo-
reigner of most ferocious aspect, was yesterday
charged with brutally assaulting with a poker, with
intent to murder, John Brown, a bricklayer, re-
siding at No. 8, Clipstone-street, Fitzroy-square.
Mr. RAwuNsoN ordered the prisoner to be com-
mitted till a surgeon's certificate should be pro-
duced pronouncing that the complainant was out
of danger.
Q UEEN-SQUARE:

THE COSTERMONGER AND THE PlG.—Mister
Bob Hallett, who described himself as a labourer,
but who evidently appeared a costermonger of the
finest water, was charged with threatening the life
of Mrs. Celia Hawley, a married woman, lodging in
Blenheim-street, Chelsea.
The beauteous Celia, in a fine Irish accent, and
with a profusion of curtseys, stated her case to the
following effect :—The defendant lived next door to
her, and in the dead of night she was aroused from
her slumbers by a tremendous row in the streets and
a dreadful knocking at her door. She arose,and the
pale glimpses of the moon disclosed to her affrighted
gaze the prisoner, with a murdered body, as she
thought, drenched in blood. He was swearing that
he would come in. Upon further investigation she
discovered that the prisoner was drunk, and that
the supposed murdered body was the carcase of an
immense pig, with its throat cut. The complainant,
in answer to some questions, added that she cer-
tainly had circulated a report with respect to the
murder; " but," added she with empha'is, " I'm
positive (terrain, your Worship, that Bob Hallet and
Tom Langstone stole the pig and murdered him."
The next day Bob met her, and swore that he would
take her life, whereupon he was g.ven into
custody.
Bob Smith, a most splendid example of the gen-
teel and amiable costermonger, dressed according to
the last Duck-lane fashion, corroborated this evi-
dence. This witness was an exception to the
general run of costermongers : he seemed to have
the same idea that " the genteel thing is the genteel
thing" as the bear-leader in Goldsmith's comedy of
She Stoops to Conquer; and " wot though he did
drive a donkey, why shouldn't he be a gemmhn for
all that ?" He addressed the Magistrate in the
most simpering tones imaginable, and described the
character of Mr. Hallett as being werry sospicious,
and that he did things wot was low and willgar.
Mr. WHITE—What did he do ? " Vhy, your
Vorship," replied the witness, " the langidge of this
here gemmen (pointing to defendant) made my
werry hair stand on end, and my werry blood run
through my weins."
Mr. WHITE—What did he say, my good man ?
" Not fit for no man, nor no voman to hear, your
Vorship," responded the witness ; " be said as how
he'd take her life."
Bob Hallett, who formed a strong contrast to the
last witness, now entered upon his defence :
" Your Vorship, this here good lady is a lundrus,
and a getter up of linen. Yell, she's many a time
said she'd take my missus's life, and that she
wouldn't mind a serving at the -- treadmill for
seven year for her; so you see she struck Mrs.
Vhire's litle gill with a saucepan; and she told
them all as how I stole the pig, which your Vorship
must know is a precious lie. -- the pig. I'll
never buy a pig again. She sets people to grunt
after me. -- the pig."
Mr. WHITE—Come to the point. Do you admit
having threatened this woman ? Hallett—Vhy I
can't get over that pint, sartainly.
Mr. 'WHITE—You must find sureties to keep the
peace.
