POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A man was brought up in the custody of Jarvis, one
of the city officers, charged by the superintendent of
police, acting in a diststit district, with baying stolen two
horses.
A brother of the prisoner had been apprehended about
two,yeers ego :or horse stealing. convicted, and en-
tercet? to twelve months' imprisonment. The vice wee
rot corrected by the punishment. The moment the de.
liuquent was liberated from cenfinernent he recommenced
operations, and in a short time' the robbery cf seven
hors, s was traced to him and two others of the family,
and at the present time the father and two brothers
the prisoner are awaiting their trial, which is to take
place at the next ass-zes upon charges of a similar kind.
The Prisener's father is a small farmer who has lived in
repute fir several years within a few miles of the place
in which the la :t offence attributed to the prisoner was
committed. His house is situated in a retired spot, pe-
culiarly calculated, according to the description given by
the officer, for concealment and eseape—dhere being se-
veral narrow and unfrequented roads and lanes in the
immediate neighbourhood. The son who 'has al-
ready suffered the penalty of the law resided at
some considerable distance from the spot in which his
father and brothers' lived, and was not, to all ap-
pearances, by any means- in the habit' of, asso-
ciating with them—a circumstance attributed to the
- •
loss of character to which his notorious habits subjected!
him. The extraordinary disappearance of horses from
stables at various places within a feW miles of the farm•
house, however, caused' a police investigation, the result
of which was the apprehension of the members of the
family who are now in prison, and the pursuit of the'
man at the bar, who was on Monday traced by Jarvis,
the City officer, to Mint-street, id the Borough.
Sir PETER LAURIE—It is very seldom that we bear of
a regularly organized system of robbery like this. The'
father's character, no doubt; was serviceable to the ob..
ject of the plunderers.
The superintendent—He was never suspected; for
'there appeared to be no intercourse between him and his
Convicted son. We can trace ten stolen horses to one of
the sons, and in the house of the father I found the
saddles and bridles of some of them. We have no doubt
that they all acted together, and it is rather surprising
that some of them have actually driven several of the
horses, before they sold them, close to the very neigh-
bourhoods in which they had broken open the stables.
I apply to the London magistrate to remand the prisoner
till to .morrow, and to direct that he be delivered up to
me to be conveyed before the county magistrate, who
will commit him for trial, together with his father and
brothers.
Sir PETER LAURIE then directed that the prisoner
should be given up to the superintendent.
.111ARYLEBONE.
Henry Williams, aged 16, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Long, for re-examination, charged with having
stolen a quantity of silver plate, the property of Mr.'
Walter Buchanan, a county magistrate, residing at No.
2, Sussex-place, Hyde-park-gardens.
The particulars of the previous examination have al-
ready appeared, and it will be remembered that the but-
ler, during his temporary absence from the bottom of the
house, heard a rattling of plate in the pantry, and, on
going down, saw the prisoner make a speedy egress by
the area steps, and thence into the street. The butler fol-
lowed him, crying "Stop thief," and he was speedily
captured, after having, in the course of his progress,
dropped a soup ladle and a fish slice, both of which ar-
ticles were picked up prior to the prisoner being stop-
ped. It was further shown that the butler took the
prisoner back to the house, and then sent for a policeman,
when the prisoner was searched, and in his pockets were
found seven tablespoons, three saltcellars, four salt-
spoons, and a butter knife, all of which belonged to Mr.
Buchanan. When the prisoner was given in charge he
begged for mercy, alleging that he bad never before
gone done an area, or committed a robbery in any other
way. The remand took place in consequence of the
police being of opinion that they should be able to sub-
stantiate other charges of robbery against the prisoner.
This was not done, and the prisoner was sent for trial
for the robbery at Mr. Buchanan's.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Henry Barnett Wheeler, a young man of gentleman-
like appearance, residing in Nelson-place, Grange-road,
Dalston, was brought before Mr. Arnold in the custody
of Holland, the warrant officer, charged with threatening
the life of his wife, and with having practised towards
her a long-continund series of cruelty and ill-treatment.
Mr. ARNOLD said, that it was a moat distressing
case ; but, as it was manifestly impossible for any wo-
man to live happily with a man who conducted himself
with such systematic end outrageous violence towards
her, he would. suggest, as the most advisable course for
both parties, that they should consult some Mutual
friends, with a view to effect an arrangement for their
permant separation.
The cpmpleinant, with much earnestness, at once ac-
ceded to the proposal. to Which, however, the defendant
sepreasskithe_etrongeet reeugnance, _and said. that,
lie Ifid no wish to areft'emioe wife, he would leave the
matter in the hands of the magikrute. nith an intima-
tion chat if he were called upon to find bail, he had no
means of procuring it.
Mr. ARNOLD expressed his intention to suspend the
warrant for a week, and asked the eempieinaut if she
consi(iered her husband's own recognizance would be a
filch nt security for his peaceable behaviour in the

ru.
The! complainant (emphatically)—Most decidedly not.
I have already suffered so much at the hands of that
man, that I feel toy life to be in daily and hourly danger
from his violence.
Mr. ARNOLD said that, in that case, he should require
the defendant to put in substantial bail for his ap
pearance next week, and suspend the warrant for that

period.
The defendant repeated that he was utterly unable to
procure the requisite bail, and he was accordingly re-
moved in the custody of the gaoler.
SOUTHWARK.
Patrick Cullen was placed at the bar, charged with
being engaged in an assault upon the police, during
which 121 M, and 141 of the same division, were so
seriously injured that they were for some time consi-
dered in danger of losing their lives.
It appeared that on the evening of the 6th instant a
fight took place in Tooley-street among some Irishmen
after the funeral of a deceased countryman. The two
policemen being near the spot interferred to prevent the
fight, and having succeeded in sepdrating the com-
batants, the latter fell upon them and began to kick and
beat them. The policemen then attempted to take their
assailants into custody, when several of their associates
joined in the rescue, during which the former were as-
sailed with brickbats and stones. One of the rioters
seized the staff from policeman 121, and beat him over
the head with it until he rendered him insensible, and
his brother constable. 141 M, was about the
same time struck with a stone on the head
with such violence as to lay him prostrate
on the ground, in which condition they were
both obliged to be carried to the hospital, where on
examination it was discovered that each was labouring
under concussion of the brain, besides extensive lacera-
tion of the scalp. Their assailants all escaped at the
time, but five of them have been since taken into custody
and committed for trial. The prisoner had abandoned
his usual haunts, and was only apprended the previous
day, and he was now placed at the bar. The evidence
of three witnesses was taken, each cf them proving that
they observed the prisoner as one of the ringleaders in
the disturbance, and that they distinctly saw him throw
the stone which struck policeman 141 on the head and
knocked him down.
The prisoner asserted that he was not present, and
called a countryman of his own to show that he was
at
home at the, time it was alleged he bad assaulted the
police. The witness, however, failed in supporting the
assertion, and the prisoner was committed.
The policemen, although so severely injured, are pro-
gressing favourably, and were sufficiently recovered to
be enabled to attend the examination.

EXECUTION OF GEORGE CARNT FOR
THE LAW SHALL MURDER.
BURY ST. EDMUNDS, TUESDAY.—ThiS morning, at
nine o'clock, George Carnt, who was tried and convicted
at the last assizes for this county of the murder of Eliza-
beth Bainbridge, underwent the extreme penalty of the
law, on the new drop erected on the top of the central
archway, leading to the interior of the prison.
His unfortunate. victim, who was about thirty years of
age, was the daughter of a hard working and respectable
farmer at Lawshall. About nine or ten years ago she
married the butler of a clergyman at Leawardstone, but
after living with him for some time, and giving birth
to a child, he deserted her, and enlisted in the Royal
corps of Sappers and Miners, and for the last seven
years they had not seen , each other. On her deser-
tion by her husband she continued to reside, with her
child, at her father's, and conducted herself with the
greatest propriety. The prisoner resided in the same
village, and was considered a respectable agricultural
labourer. For ten or twelve days previous to the mur-
der, which took place on the 20th of January last, the
deceased bad been staying with her sister, a Mr& Payne,
whose husband keeps the Harrow public-house at Law-
shall, where the prisoner had been lodging for about a
.Week. ' Here they were frequently seen in close conver-
sation together, and on One occasion their conversation
appeared to have been carried on in such an earnest tone
as to lead to the impression that the prisoner bad made_
some improper proposal, which the deceased bad ien.dsrg

The expenses of repairing and keeping up the build.
of this hospital having been I,und to be extremely
bur& nscine, a fund was ii,tablislicti in 1802, with a view
to the gradual end comrlete rehuiltiirg of the erbole
fabric, and a great part has accordingly iiieen restored
in a most commodious end substantial manner,
without reducing the number of children upon the
establishmilat during the progress of the works.
Much, however, yet remains to be done, and the
governors regret to state that the fued originally sub-
seribt d has been completely exhausted, and a very con-
siderable sum expended from the general funds of the
charity; but they are willing to hope that the generosity
of the public will afford the means of completing this
great work, and prevent the. Secessity of encroaching
turther upon the permanent income of the hospital, and
thereby diminishing the scope of its usefulness. -

during the last year 5,522 in-patients and
