POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Robert Sergeant, aged 13, and Robert Caswell, aged
16 years; were brought before Sir Peter Laurie, in
the custody of John May (R 48, metropolitan police),
charged, the former with having stolen from the
warehouse of Mr. Hale, in Queen-street, 191. or 201.
in gold and silver, the latter with having received
part of the money well knowing that it had been
stolen.
Mr. Josiah Hale said—Robert Sergeant was an
errand- boy in my employment. On Tuesday night
I was called up by the police at my house in Gresham-
street, and informed that the warehouse was broken
open. I proceeded thither with a constable, and found
a policeman on duty waiting outside. 1 found on
entering the premises that a drawer in my desk had
been broken open, and that 191. or 201. in gold and
silver had been stolen from it. I had left the ware-
house at half-past ten, and kept the keys in my own
possession. The outer window, which looks into
Queen•street, and the shutters were open. The con-
stable and I, after examination of the warehouse, were
decidedly that the robbery must have been
m
somebodyo who had hidden himself, for
theremwas
dno fb opinion
mark inin
of f
urcible entrance. The prisoner
Sergeant came the following morning, and the in-
spector and I questioned him, and agreed in believing
that he was the thief.

Inspector Mitchell—_I examined the warehouse be-
tween twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday night, and
found a piece of candle burning in a small gallipot
there. On further examination I found on the desk
five other pieces of candle of the same description as
that manufactured by Mr. Hale. They all smelt
strongly of tobacco. On the following morning I
questioned all the persons in the employment of the
firm, and the boy's statement, as to where he had
been since the hour of leaving business, was the most
unsatisfactory, and ettbody had seen hint go. I called
at the house of his aunt, with whom he residas, -and
learned that all he said was false. In the boy's pocket
I found some Inciters and the bowl of a tobacco pipe,
which contained some tobacco dust. The pieces of
candle which I found looked as if they had been car-
ried in the pocket. Mr. Hale let the boy go at a
quarter past eight o'clock, but I sent round to the sta-
tions, and he was apprehended afterwards in Green-
wich, with Caswell, the other prisoner. There was
lying upon the desk which was broken open, a piece
of paper, on which appeared, in the prisoner's writ-
ing, the words " Remember Hackett's gang."
Hackett was the celebrated house and prison breaker.
I have ascertained that Caswell, who is stated by his
father to be an incorrigible reprobate, has been the
constant companion of Sergeant.
John MaY (It 48)—In consequence of information
which I received from the Bow-lane station, I went
to a coffee-shop in Greenwich and found the two pri-
soners in bed together. They told me at once their
real names. I asked them what had become of the
money one of them had taken from his employers.
They replied that they knew nothing about it, and
that they had money of their own in their possession.
Upon Caswell I found two sovereigns, a half sove-
reign, and two 'pence. He said he could prove it to
be his money, for he had, while in a boat in the
Thames, picked up a gentleman who had tumbled
overboard from a steamer, and who gave him two
sovereigns for the service, and he told me the other
prisoner had give him a sovereign out of some money
which the boy had accidentallyfound, as well as a suit of
clothes. Sergeant then told me, pointing to his trou-
sers, that I would find in them some of the money he
had found. I turned out of his pockets four sove-
reigns, six half-sovereigns, and Bs. 10d. in silver, and
threepence halfpenny in copper. I found also in the
room two new suits of clothes and the bill for them.
Sergeant, in answer to my question, whether he
wished to account for the possession of the money,
replied that he had found a bag containing sovereigns
on the steps of his employer's door, while sitting
'
there on Tuesday morning, and he also' said that he
bad paid for clothes fur the other prisoner and himself.

Sir P. LAURIE asked. the prisoners whether it was
their wish to say anything? Sergeant—Yes. I
went to work on Tuesday morning as usual, and there
being nobody at the -warehouse I sat down on the
steps, and I felt something hurt me, and upon look-
ing down I found it was a bag containing sovereigns,
so I picked it up and put it in my pocket.
Sir P. LAURIE—And you had it when you want
to your work ? Sergeant—Yes.
Sir P. LAURIE—Did you tell Mr. Hale about it ?
Sergeant—No ; I did not say anything about it to
him at all.

Caswell—l was sitting at the door with my mother
on Wednesday, when this boy called me, and said he
had found some money, and that he would not go
home with it, as he knew his aunt would not let him
have it ; so we both went to Greenwich by the train
that night, and he bought a suit of clothes for each
of us, and gave me: a sovereign. As for the two other
sovereigns, I picked up a gentleman out of the river,
who would have gone down, but that I was near in
boat which I had taken at Rotherhithe.—(Laughter.)
Sir P. LAURIE—What sort of a gentleman ? Cas-
well—A young one. He turned into a tavern there,
and gave me the money, and I came away.
Sir P. LAurt.ic—l shall commit you both for trial
at the Central Criminal Court, and you may produce
the gentleman there who rewarded you fur your
kindness.
