POLICE INTELLIGENCB.—May 29.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Be lintill Stubbing and Jesse
Zee, of Leadenhall-market. butchers, were summoned
before the Lord Mayor by Charles Fisher, the meat in.
ispector for the city, upon the charge of having exposed
and offered for sale in the market certain meat unfit for
human food, whereby they became liable to a penalty
not exceeding 201. Mr. Lee, one of the partners in the
firm, attended to answer the complaint, and pleaded
"Not guilty," according Co the usual form.
The Lord Mayor—l consider myself bound, as a ma-
gistrate, to inflict the extreme penalty, and I at the
same time take this opportunity to declare that in every
case which may be brought before me in which evidence
shall be given of the sale of bad meat I shall fine to the
utuost extent. I hope it will gn forth to the public,
through the most convenient and useful channels, that
such is the deterinit.ation of the chief magistrate ; and I!
have no doubt that my brotee magistrates will act pre-
cisely in the same way.
The defendant—l shall certainly appeal against the
tlecision, my lorl ; but I really think you may dispose
of the case by allowing me 0 put a couple of pounds
into the poor-box.

The Lord 'Mayor—Not at al!. This is no poor•box
case.

The defendant—You will not, my lord, as a citiaau of.
London, inflict such a penalty upon a feliow.citizen.,
I have committed no offcnce whatever. I trust your!
lordship will dsal imminarily with the case, '
The Lord Mayor—l have dealt summarily with it.
There must be an end put to such a traffic. C.miplaintx,
of unwholesome food abound everywhere ; and to allow
a case of this kind to pass without marking it would tie
uqpardonable. I shall in every future case that may
come before me enforce the extreme penalty ; and I am
m =st anxious that the public should be inLiraied of that
determination.

MARLBOROUGH-MEET —John Ing earn. Oweu,
George Smith, Owen, and Edward Owen, were bro,,uht
before Mr. Birgham for final examination, charged with
numerous forgeries.
The depositions, which are believed to be the longest
ever taken in this court, were completed and read over
to the prisoners by Mr. Bishop, the magistrate's clerk.
The number of cases on which the prisoners are com-
mitted amounts to 12, forming, however, but a small
portion of the aggregate of cases which the police have
been enabled to trace.
The prisoners reserved their defence, and were fully
committed.

CLERKENWELL.—Ediviird Thomas, 56, a dirty-
looking fellow, described on the police-sheet as a surgeon,
and an hamate of Clerken well workhouse, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Tyrirbitt, charged with mutilating
the dead body of a luau by cutting off the head in Gerk•
enwell workhouse, under the following circumstances:—
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who
has seen better days, but who has been in the work-
house for many year 4, has been employed in the dead-
house as assistant-undertaker, one of his duties being
to show the bodies to, the relatives. On Monday
he had the bodj of a man under his charge, but
upon the relatives applying to see it the prisoner re-
fused, saying that it was nailed down. The rela-
tives then applied to see the matron, who insisted that
the coffin should be undone, but upon looking round
the dead-house she saw a man's head on the ground, and
Upon saying:that-she had now caught him the prisoner
took up the head and said, "Do not let the relatives
see it." The matter was-then brought under the notice
of the guardians, who determined to'proiecute.
Mr. Tyrwitt remanded the prisoner.

LA.MBET.II.—Jobt Wltittaker, a remarkable-looking
person, was put to the bar before Mr. Elliott on a
charge of breaking into the dwelling:house of Mrs.
Edmonds, a widow lady, residing at No. IG, Addington-
lane, Camberwell, and preparing a quantity of massive
plate and other property for removal.
The prosecutrix deposed that about half-past 11 o'clock
in the morning of Wednesday week she left home, in
company with her sister, leaving no person in the house
but one woman servant. She returned at about half-
past 12, and on going up to her bedroom she found it
as she had left it, locked; but on entering she saw a tea-
service of plate on her dressiog-table, which had been
removed from the wardrobe, She examined her
drawers, and missed five valuable India shawls, and
then called out to her servant, .Eliza Dewey who came to
her, and on entering the roam, and seeing the state it
was in, she lifted the valance of the bed, and started out
of the room screaming as loud as she could. A man in-
stantly came from under the bed, and started down
stairs. On leaving the house she closed the front door
in the ordinary way with the catch, and found it so on
her return. The property produced was hers, and had
been removed from the place where it was ordinarily
kept.

Eliza Dewe, in addition to a corroboration of her mis-
tress's evidence, said that on seeing the prisoner under
her mistress's bad she ran down stairs as fast
as she could, and, opening the front door, called
out " Police 1" as loud as she could holies.
While so calling out abe ilaw the prisoner come out
of the hou-,e, and had such a view of his face as to
enable her -to ,e'kv-sr post vely as t, his identity; she had
no AO SG sigut ui Liui he wad secured and brought
back. In reply to the questions of the magistrate the
witness said she had not been upstairs from the tithe her

mistress a►nd her sister went out until they returned, and
they came back much sooner than she expected them.
Her mistress was disposed to let the prisoner go, and
would have done so bad it not been for the gentleman
who lived next door, and while speaking to Mrs. Ed.
moods the prisoner turned to witness and said, " Some
of your pals have been hero." The prisoner was a per.
feet stranger to her, and she had not, to her knowledge,
ever seen him before.

James Lennox, a'bricklayer, said that oa the day in
question be was paiping by the house of Mrs. B hnond-i,
and his attention was called.to it by the loud cries of the
last witness. He saw the pri.toner rush out of the door
and run away as fast as he could. Suspecting be bad
done some wrong,"he followed, anti bad not lost 'right of
him until he secured him. Toe prisoner was very vio-
lent in his struggles to get off, and bit him (witne-s) so
severely in the left band that be was at present an out-
patient of St. Thomas's Hospital. When the prisoner
was brought back to the house of the proseoutrix he
heard him say that if he was let go he would go the back
way and show how he got in.
Mr. C. Wears, of 17, Addington-place said that on
the day in question be went into the %hall of Mrs. Ed-
mondt's house, and hearing that lady's sister say "We
have not missed anything ; let him go," he interf,red to
prevent the prisoner being allowed to go at large, when
the prisoner made a desperate attempt to kick him, and
drawing back a little he received the kick on his abdo-
men.

Chas. S;beton, 142 P, said that baying been informed
by Mrs. Edmonds tbat she had missed some vain ahle
shawls, he searched under the bed under which the pri-
soner had cmicealed himself, and there found the five
valuable India shawls he then produced.
The prisoner was fully omitted for trial.
