POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 5.

GUILDHALL.—Mr. Jain Blackwood, the well-
known publisher, in Paternoster-row, appeared in answer
to an information laid against him by Mr. Panizzi, the
keeper of the printed books and manuscripts in the Bri-
tish Museum, charging him with neglecting to deliver a
copy of a book, published by him, called " Zadkiel's
Comic Almanac for 1856," at the British Museum,
within one month after its publication.
Mr. Blackwood sail ho would plead guilty to the com-
plaint, because ho certainly bad omitted to do so, but
considering, the trivial character of the publication he
thought Mr. Panizzi had rather exceeded his duty in
bringing the case before this court.

Mr. Panizzi said his sole object was to perform his
duty.

The Alderman inquired if the authorities of the Mu-
seum had any circular that they sent ruund to the pub-
lishers reminding them of the requirements of the statute
with regard to new publications.
Mr. Panizzi said they had such a circular, and one was
sent to Mr. Blackwood in the present instance.
Mr. Blackwood most positively denied ever having
received a circular of the kind described by Mr. Panizzi,
either on the present occasion or any other. He had no
desire to evade the act, although he looked upon it as
most iniquitous.
The Alderman said Mr. Blackwood had better try and
get the act repealed, for the magistrate could only inter-
fere to carry out the provisioas of that act ; but, con-
sidering the circumstances of the ca,e, ho thought it
would be sufficient if ho ordered Mr. Blackwood to pay
the costs, without inflicting any penalty.
Mr. Blackwood accordingly complied with the order,
having previously presented the librarian with extra
copies of the work in question with a view to make up
to the readers of the Museum for lost time.

SOUTHWARK.—THE NUISANCES IN TIIE WATER-
LOO-ROAD.—George Todd, a respectable-looking man,
was brought up on a warrant by inspector Rogers, L
division, and committed for trial at the next Newington
sessions, for keeping a common brothel, at No. 185,
Wollin;ton•terrace, Waterloo•road.
Those proceedings were instituted by the Associated
Institution for the Protection of Young Females, and
through their exertions, aided by inspector Rogers, the
'tVaterloo•road, especially near the bridge, has been en-
tirely cleared of the nuisance that has existed for so long
a period.

LAMBETH.--THE ROBBERY AT ME3SRS. WALKER'S.
—ln this case the name of Mr. Price, of the Wellington
Arms, Waterloo-road, a highly respectable tradesman,
became in some way mixed up in this transaction ; but
at the termination of the hearing of the case yesterday,
a gentleman stated to the magistrate that the prosecutor
never for au instant doubted the integrity of Mr. Price.
He was a most honourable man, and it was exceedingly
to be regretted that his name should have been men-
tioned at all. With regard to the case of Mr. Smith,
We believe the same remarks equally apply.
