POLICEINTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAT .)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—TWO Ger•.
mans, named Albert Kunger, of 2, New-court, Hill-street,
Finsbury, and calling himself a merchant, and Francis
Nantze, an interpreter, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with obtaining by false and fraudulent pretences, a quantity
of hosiery goods of the value of upwards £l4, the property
of Mr. Wm. J. Reed, hosier, 6, Coventry-street.
Sergeant Joy, 9 C, produced two large bundles of 'goods
which the prisoners had obtained.

After some additional evidence, the prisoners were re-
manded.

THAMES.

DESERTION.—A DISGRACE TO THE ARMY.—John
➢ladden, a scampish, dissipated-looking fellow, who is
well known to the police, and has been several times in
custody, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
deserting from the Royal Artillery.

Frederick Martin, a police-constable of the H division,
said he apprehended the prisoner for deserting his regi-
ment on Saturday night, in Hope-street, Poplar. The
prisoner made a ♦iolent attack upon him, threw him down,
and called upon the mob to rescue him. He had much
trouble with the prisoner, who would have done him con-
siderable injury if assistance had not been promptly ren-
dered. The prisoner enlisted a year and a half ago, at
Woolwich, and had deserted three times. When he took
the prisoner into custody after his first desertion he was
ill-used and nearly killed by the fellow. The prisoner was
branded with the letter D, and since he had been in the
army had spent a good deal of time in prison.
The prisoner, in a careless and audacious manner, said
all the policeman had said was true. He deserted two days
after he enlisted, and he had been nearly all the time in
prison since that event.
Martin said, if the prisoner's character had been known
• he would never have been admitted into the army.
Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner to the House of
Detection as a deserter, and he will be delivered to the
officers of the regiment to be dealt with by court martial.

THE RO

.AtURD ER.

Advantage was taken of a private visit of Mr.
Edin, barrister, to the family of Mr. Kent, on Fri-
day last, to hold a conference with him and Mr.
Dunn, solicitor, and Mr. Parsons, surgeon, the
latter of whom, it will be remembered, was called in
within an hour after the discovery of the murdered
body of Francis Saville Kent. Superintendents
Foley, of Trowbridge, Woolf, of Devizes, and Sum-
mers, of Frome, were in attendance, and were pre-
sent during part of the interview of the profes-
sional gentlemen. Some inquiries were pursued
and suggestions made which it is thought may
possibly lead to the discovery of further and im-
portant information. Some of the local papers
have fallen into an error in stating that Mrs. Kent
was delivered of a still-born child within a few
hours of the release of Miss Constance Kent, and
that she is very ill, the fact being that although
she gave premature birth to a son on the 29th ult.,
both the mother and child are at present doing
well. There have also beep. conjectures thrown out
in articles in some London and provincial journals
as to the means by which Hester Holly, the lann-
dress, became acquainted with a rumour on the clay
of the murder that a nightdress was missing from
the house of Miss Kent. The explanation is this :
On searching the linen of the inmates on the morn-
ing of the murder a nightdress was found having
marks apparently of a suspicious nature upon it.
Mr. Parsons, surgeon, however, informed the
police that the appearances were to be accounted
for from natural causes; but in the exercise of

their discretion the police thought it proper to take
the garment from the house and submit it to the
inspection of another medical man, who confirmed
the opinion that had been expressed by Mr. Par-
sons. The fact of thp nightdress in question hav-
ing been taken possession of and removed from the
house by the police became bruited abroad in the vil-
lage, with the additions usually made by rumour in
such cases, and in due course reaching the ears of the
laundress, the old woman expressed her determina-
tion to satisfy herself of its truth as soon as she
received the clothes from Mr. Kent's house on the

following Monday. Hence on that day, as soon as
she reached home with the two baskets of linen,
she at once searched and found confirmation of the,
report which had been circulated by missing s.
nightdress belonging to Miss Constance Kent. On
the police making inquiries of her on the Monday,
she told them that the linen was " all right accord-
ing to the book,"—i. e., that the usual number of
articles were duly entered ; but she withheld the
information that there was a nightdress of Miss
Constance's missing, believing, as she says, that it
had been kept back for the purpose of repairs, as
had sometimes happened, or that it was already in
the possession of the police. It has not yet been
publicly stated that on the morning the murder was
discovered Mr. Parsons, surgeon, made a casual
examination of all the knives in the house (none of
which were missing), and subsequently submitted
them to a microscopic inspection, but could discover
no traces of blood on any of them. Mr. Parsons is
also stated to have expressed an opinion that the
severe wounds found on the body of the deceased,
inflicted both before and after death, could not have

been caused by any of the knives found in the
house. The absence of the weapon with which the
murder was committed and the mysterious disap-
pearance of the nightdress of 'Miss Constance Kent
have hitherto baffled the researches of the police.
Mr. Inspector Whicher and Sergeant Williamson
have returned to London to await further instruc-
tions from the Home Secretary, who, it is hoped,
will take some immediate action in this painful mat-
ter. It has been suggested that the investigation
should be commenced de novo, and that, in addition
to the employment of metropolitan detectives and
the county constabulary, a London solicitor of expe-
rience in the conduct of criminal investigations,
with a stipendiary magistrate to assist the local
justices as their assessor, should be employed in the
endeavour to fathom this mystery of iniquity. It may
be added that the two pieces of newspaper which
were found stained with blood, and in which it is
supposed that the knife or weapon with which the
murder was perpetrated was wiped after the crime
had been completed, have been proved to be por-
tions of The Times of the 9th of June. They were
stated at the inquest to be parts of a paper which
was not taken in by Mr. Kent or any other person
resident in the house, and from that circumstance
the possibility of some person having secreted him-
self on the premises was suggested. As these frag-
ments, however, are proved to be portions of the
journal which was regularly supplied to Mr. Kent,
the theory, which amounts to almost absolute cer-
• tainty, that the murder was committed by some in-
• mate of the house is so far additionally confirmed.

THE MURDERS AT W ALIVORTII.

The exertions of Inspector Dunn, who has charge
of this lamentable case, have brought to light many
facts connected with the former history of William
Godfrey Youngman, as well as his recent conduct.
After the examination of the prisoner before Mr.
Elliott, at Lambeth Police-court on Tuesday last,
Mr; Dunn proceeded to the residence of Mr.
Streeter, the father of the young woman Streeter,
near Wadhuret, in Sussex, for the double purpose
of breaking out to him and his family the sad news
of the murder of his daughter, and also to obtain
information respecting the accused, when a scene of
the most distressing description took place. From
various accounts, confirmed by the letters addressed
