POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MAR YLEB ONE.

A COCKNEY SPORTSMAN IN TROUBLE.—Yesterday
John Bishop, a tailor, was charged with having dis-
charged the contents of a gun at the windows of Mr. Ro
hart Harvey, of Notting hill, and broken several panes of
glass.
Complainant, about half-past ten o'clock the previous
morning, was in his dressing-room, preparing to go to
church, when he was alarmed by hearing the report of a
gun, and a smashing as of glass breaking. He went out
at the back door, when he saw that three panes of glass in
the parlour window were broken. The defendant was,
with other persons, standing at a short distance off, with
a gun in his hand. Suspecting that he was the person
who bad done the damage, he went up to him and taxed
him with the fact, which the defendant acknowledged,
and offered to make him full compensation. Thinking,
however, that it was highly dangerous for a person to be
trusted with a gun when fired so as to endanger his Ma-
jesty's subjects, be called a policeman to take him into
custody.
The defendant was sorry for what he had done, but
what had happened was quite by mistake. He was
aiming at a bird, when on discharging the gun it gave a
sudden twist, and the contents perforated the complain-
ant's window. He did not after be had done the damage
attempt to "cut and run," but stood his ground, and
offered to make a suitable compensation, which was re-
fused, and he was conveyed vi et armis to the station.
house.

Mr. Rewcussow, after advising him net to seek after
any other game than his goose, ordered him to enter into
his own recognizance, in the sum of 201., to keep the
peace for the next twelve months, and gave directions
that the gun should be detained at the station-house.
AuDActous ROBBERY. —Mary Lucas, a pretty-looking
young woman, respectably attired, was charged with the
following impudent robbery:—
Mrs. Jane Butler, wife of Mr. E. Butler, jeweller, &c.,
No. 19, Crawford-street, about half-past nine o'clock on
Saturday evening was engaged behind the counter, show-
ing some articles to a lady, when she was startled by
hearing a pane of glass break. She looked towards the
shop window, when she saw a female's hand protruding
through one of the panes. She immediately went round
the counter, when she saw the prisoner running across
the road. She pursued and overtook her, when she found
in her band a small tray, containing a gold eye-glas, se•
veral gold rings, and various other articles of jewellery,
the property of her husband. She called out for assist.
ance, when her next door neighbour came out, and the
prisoner was led back to the shop, where she acknow-
ledged taking away the tray with its con•ents. A po-
liceman was then called, and the prisoner conveyed to the
station-house.

Police constable D 111 stated that the prisoner said to
him that " she intended that night to have had a silver
watch or two from a new shop higher up the street, but
through her laziness she was too late, and the shop was
closed. On her return she thought she must have some-
thing, as she had no food or lodging, and she therefore
broke the prcsecutor's shop-window, and took out the
property, as had been described."
She was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Charles Bennett, a diminutive-looking young
man, was charged with being concerned in breaking into
the house of Sir William Woods, Clarenceux King at
Arms, in the Coburg-road, Camberwell.—Remanded.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A very distressing
occurrence took place at Tavistock, on Sunday evening
last, the 16th inst., which threw the whole town into
consternation, and, we are sorry to learn, has been at-
tended with loss of life. The first alarm took place in the
Wesleyan chapel, where the door-keeper, in the act of
lighting up the chapel for the evening service, observed a
very large and unusual escape of gas from beneath the floor,
and on approaching it with a taper an instant inflammation
of the escaping gas took place, which set fire to a seat,
but was extinguished before any serious injury had been
done. About 200 persons were at this time assembled,
many of whom rushed towards the avenues to the streets.
Just at this time, the Rev. T. W. Smith, the officiating
minister of the day, came to the spot and attempted to
allay the excited feelings of the congregation, so fir suc-
ceeding as to obtain a gradual exit from the chapel. 'Water
having been poured upon the ignited wood, and the main
cock turned to exeude the gas entirely from the building,
order was restored, candles introduced, and about 300
persons being assembled, the service of the evening pro-
ceeded as usual. Here, however, we are sorry to add, all
did not end, for a person, io consequence of the accident,
incautiously ran to the gas works, and directed the main
supply to be cut off from the town. The congregation
assembling in the Independent of worship had just
commenced Divine service, when the lights throughout
the chapel, with the exception of two candles, were almost
suddenly extinguished—the momentary sensation excited
by this circumstance appeared to be at an end, and the
service was proceeding, until an alarm in the gallery, and
a simultaneous rush from all parts of the chapel, suddenly
took place; every effort to arrest the attention of the
congregation proved unavailing, the loudest entreaties be-
ing entirely drowned by the cries of the people, and al-
though the avenues from the chapel are particularly spa-
cious, they were entirely choked up by the dense numbers
which crowded them. When the tumult had subsided, it
was ascertained that two boys, the sons of Mr. Thomas
Symons, tailor, and Mr. N. Launder, mason, had been
se severely hurt that their deaths almost immediately en-
sued. We are sorry to add, that in addition to lesser,
though in some instances severe, injuries, a young woman
was so much trampled upon as to render her recovery
doubtful, and an old man, upwards of 70, had his arm
and one of his ribs broken.—West Briton.
