POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Coney and Smith, who were some days ago
charged with having broken into and robbed the
house of Mr. Wheeler, in Bartlett's buildings, were
brought up for fir.al examination. Some trifling
additions were made to tl►e evidence.
None of Mr. Wheeler's property was found in
the house of Benjamin Solomons, who effected his
escape through the back part of the premises.
Mr. Holder, jun., applied to the Lnrd Mayor for
the property which had been taken out of the coat
of tha, de,ermined receiver.
The LORD MAYOR—NO : I won't give up any of
the property yet.
Mr. Hobler, jun., submitted that there was not
suffirient evidence to jo,tify the committal of Smith.
Mr. Harmer expressed astonishment at hearing
such a statement. That Smith wax an accessory
berore the fact was as clear as possible. It was pro.
battle that he had been set on by the more expe-
rienced cracksmen to obtain the assistance of young
James to rob the house.
The LORD MAYOR thought the evidence quite
strong enough to convict upon.
Mr. Hobler (the Chief Clerk) stated that James
had not been sworn, and stood himself in the light
dart accomplice, and had been told that his state-
ment might be used against himself. By that state-
ment alone was Smith affected.
Mr. Hobler, jun., said he had originally made a
protest against the admission of James as an evidence.
The LORD MAYOR—We'II settle the business by
sweating the boy.
James was then sworn, and Coney and Smith
were fully committed for trial.
.EXTRAORDINARY PAUPER SWINDLER.—James
Clare, alias Stephen Knott, alias Thomas Clarke,
alias .Tent Clargy, a pauper, who had been living for
some years upon the parishes of the metropolis, was
charged by the officers of fourteen different parishes
with various cases of fraud. He was remanded, in
order to get as many cases as possible against him.
GUILDHALL.

George Lloyd, an ostler, and Hannah Skinner,
the wife of an earthenware hawker, residingat New-
bury, were re-examined yesterday, charged with
sealing a waistcoat, and other articles of apparel, of
the value of 51., and also 39 sovereigns, the property.
of Timothy Skinner, the husband of the female pri-
21011Pr.

The husband repeated his previous statement
that he returned home from a journey on Wednes-
day, the 6th inst., and his wife eloped with the pri-
soner, a lodger at the next door, at an early hour on
Sunday 'Lumina, taking with her his little capital,
and a large bundle of apparel. On the following
morning he was fortunate enough to fall in with the
gulfty couple at the Belle Sauvage Inn, Ludgate-
hid, where they had represented themselves to be
husband and wife.
Morgan, the driver of the Monarch Bath coach,
preyed that he took up the prisoners together about
four miles from Newbury.
The woman made no defence ; but the other pri-
soner said he was coming to London in Fearch of
employ, and oas overtaken on the road by the
female, who joined company with him.
Mr. Alderman ATKENS said men had confidence in
their wives, and it was desirable that such a feeling
towards them should be cherished, and that such
men as the prisoner Lloyd should be taught to be
cautious how they invaded the happiness of poor
married men. He had been guilty of a violent
breach of the laws of God and man, and he should
commit him for trial for the stealing.
He was committed. The female was remanded.
UNION- HALL.

Yesterday Win. Tyler, John 7:yler, Henry Tyler,
and William Hughes, were charg,d with committing
a viAerit atisai:lt on Samuel Sedger, a policeman of
the MT

The policeman was beaten so dreadfully that he
wag onaNe to attend, but from the evidence of an-
other policeman of the same division it appeared
that on the preceding night, as the witness %vas on
duty in Blackman.street, he heard Sedger, who was
on the opposite side of the road, exclaim, " Don't ill
use the woman." Witness crossed over, and saw
the defendants surrounding Sedger, who was endea-
vouring to defend himself from their blows ; but
before (witness) had time to render him assist-
ance he was thrown to the ground with great vio-
lence, and kicked and beaten by his assailants until
he became insensible. Witness seized two of the
defendants, and they broke loose from his grasp,
but were retaken on the arrival of further assistance.

Inspector Wilkinson stated, that when Sedger
way brought to the station-house, he seemed to be
f.e.riotisly injured, that it was found necessary to
~„ for ti.l.edical assistance, and he was then in so
dv,gerous a condition, that he could not attend to
g;ve evidence against his assailants. The inspector
produced Eedger's.coat and cape, which were torn
to pieces in the struggle with his antagonists, and
added, that in the confusion that took place, the
policeman either had his pocket picked of his watch,
or had lost during the affray.
Mr. CHAIIBERS said he should hold the defend-
ants in custody until the man was pronounced out of

danger.
A lengthened examination of three young men,
named Redmond, Austin, and Raker, charged with
robbing a tradesman, named Hughes, of two 201.
notes, occupied a considerable portion the day.
One of the stolen notes was traced to the possession
of a slopseller in Tooley-street, who identified the
prisoners as having changed the note at his shop in
payment for slops. The prisoners were committed

THAMES POLICE.
Captain Julian and Captain ' Ferris, two masters
of
.ships lying in the London Dock, were charged
with hying gunpowder on board, contrary to the
Dock regulations.
Thew .;_trveyors of Thames police deposed to
finding ,*:.% the ee.bin of the Julian, an American vessel,
belonging td the first-named defendant, eleven
pounds of gunpiiwder, and on board the Britannia,
7is is master, six pounds.
of which Captain Fei
The Magistrates said that it was necessary to put
the Act of Parliament in force, or there would be
no safety for the shipping in a crowded dock, where '
an accidental explosion of gunpowder would be at-
tended with a fearful loss of property. They con-
victed the defendants in the peualtiee pf 20s. and
305., which were paid.
AFFILIATION.—A stout young Irishman, named
Timothy Driscoll, appeared to show cause against a
male child being affiliated upon him, of which Eliza-
beth Thody, a young woman, swore he was the
father.

The defendant made an odd excuse against being
burdened with the title of father, to the effect that
he had " kissed and had prattled with so many fair
maids," that he had lost ali recolketion of the
mother. The overseer of Shadwell, however,
proved that Driscoll was formerly living with the
girl.
Mr. BRODERIP adjudged him to pay 49. a-week
f r the child's support.

all the great points which h was necessary to em-
brace. The appeal which is made in yesterday's
resolutions breathes the best spirit, and it cannot be
made in vain. Going forth to the world, as the re-
solutions of yesterday,do,, with nearly the whole
moral force of the delegates of Virginia, they are
calculated to make the deeper impression on both
the contending parties. It was time, indeed, for
matters to take this turn. The debates of the
Legislature bad been spun out so long that they
were losing all their effect. Politicians at a distance
were laughing at us, and our own citizens were be-
coming dissatisfied and almost disgusted. Besides,
the Ist of February was nearly at hand, and every
movement of South Carolina or the Federal Govern-
ment was showing the necessity of an immediate
me:liation on our side, if we ever intended to em-
ploy it.
" The whole matter is now before the Senate. It
is earnestly hoped that they will act in the premises
with as much alacrity as possible--the people ex.
pect it—the crisis of our beloved country de-
mands it."
