POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(TIII3 Day.)

THE LETTER STEALERS.—IIenry Hillyer and George
Thomas, the two young men charged with stealing
letters from the Post-office receiving houses, were again
placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman Challis, for far-
ther examination.
Mr. Peacock again attended for the Post-office autho-
rities. Mr. Neale defended the prisoners.
The prisoners were also charged on a former occasion
with stealing a bundle of letters from the shop of Messrs.
Gifford, Strand, on 30th May, in which collection was an
account posted by Mr. Heywood, clerk, and Messrs.
Burgess and Co., pickle manufacturers, Strand, and
Messrs. M'Cullock and Co., chemists, Bi4lopsgate-
street, for 321. odd, accompanied with a memorandum
that the account would be called for on Saturday. On
that morning the account was presented by a young
man similar to Thomas, who was paid 311., there being
a difference between the account rendered and the ac-
count kept by them. The account was paid by cheque,
which, at the request of the young man, was not crossed.
Later in the day, Mr. Heywood called for the account,
when the fraud was discovered, and on applying to the
bankers, it was found the cheque had been cached.
The following additional evidence was given :
Mr. J. W. Jackson, 59, Ely-place, Hoxton, chemist,
on 30th May last, was an assistant to Mr. Gifford, who
keeps a receiving•office in the Strand. On that day
witness made up the 12 o'clock collection, containing
about 20 letters. They were tied up in a bundle, and
were made up on the counter at the further end of the
shop ; after that he laid them on the counter. Just at
that time a young man came into the shop, walked up
to the counter where witness was standing, and asked

for a penny stamp. He left the letters on—the counter
and went to another counter near the window to get
the man a stamp. Witness returned to the counter at

the back of the shop and gave the young man the stamp,
who immediately left the shop. As soon as he was gone
witness missed the bundle of letters. He was the only man
that had entered the shop at that time. He could not
identify the man from the lapse of timo, but he recol-
lected he was a man about 25 years of age, rather thin,
light complexion, and wore a moustache (which corres-
ponds to Hillyer). Neither of the prisoners, so far as
he could recollect, was the man.

Mr. Neale declined putting any questions to the
witnesp.

Hayden, the detective, said that when Thomas was
taken into custody, and at the last examination, he
wore a moustache. It bad since been shaved off.
Mr. Peacock asked for a further remand in this case,
in consequence of the unavoidable absence of a material
witness.

Hayden said he had reason to believe he could pro
care further evidence against the prisoners on this case,

and also on other charges, if they were remanded.

Mr. Neale said the evidence against the prisoners was
very slight, and under the circumstances, if the Alder•

man was disposed to commit them, to admit them to
bail.

The prisoners were then remanded till Saturday next ;
but bail was refused.

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN.---This morning two
men, named Wells and Johnston, were placed before Mr,
Henry, charged with passing bad money.
From the evidence of the landlord of the Star and
Garter public-house, in St. Martin's-lane, it appeared
that yesterday afternoon the two men at the bar
entered the house and called for some refreshment,
which they were served with, and for which they paid
two shillings. They then left and returned again at
half-past two o'clock and called for some more drink.
The liquor was supplied and another shilling was
given by them as payment. Froin a circumstance
that had come to his knowledge after their first
visit, he put the shilling into the " detector," and
bent it nearly double, and then charged them
with uttering base coin. The circumstance that led him
to give the two men in charge was that shortly after the
first visit a friend of his came in and wanted change for
half-a-crown, which having been given, one of the shil-
lings was declared to be bad. The contents of the till
was then examined, and another bad shilling was found,
and ho immediately suspected the two men to be the
parties who had given them in payment, and on their
second visit the fact of their paying for their refreshment
with another base shilling strengthened his suspicion,
and he gave them into custody. As he was following
the men to the station-house, he distinctly saw Johnson
take some money from his pocket, and, having selected
one or two of the pieces, he put them into his mouth
and swallowed them. He could not tell which of the pri-
soners gave him two of the base shillings, but Wells gave
him the last one. The only shillings he had in the till
were those given him by the prisoners; as it had but a
few minutes previously been emptied of its contents.
Both men protested their innocence, and said they did
not know each other, and Wells said he did not know
he had a bad shilling in his possession.
The magistrate said there was not suffilent evidelc3
to bring the offence home to either of the prisoner s, an 1
such being the ease he had no alternative bat to dis-
charge them.
WILFUL DAMA.QE.—John Leitch, John Miles, and
John Miles, jun., were charged with wilfully damaging
the premises of Mr. Usher, in St. Clernent's-lane.
Mr. Usher stated that he had lately become the pro-
prietor of a house in St. Clement's lane, which bad ticeii
for some time occupied by the prisoners. The house
formerly belonged to a person named. Phipps, who, no',
having received any rent for seine time, allowed
the assessed taxes to remain in arrear. The goods of
the parties occupying the house were a few days ado
distrained upon, but they were allowed to take thetu
away, the fixtures being considered sufficient to realise
the sum owing. The object in allowing the taxes to re-
main unpaid was to get the people out of the house.
This morning at an early hour he was called up by the
police, and informed that the three men were again in
the house, on entering which he found the wall and fire•
places bad teen pulled dawn and injured, and he then
gave them into custody.
The men stated that they had paid their rent till within
the last three months.
Mr. Henry said he supposed all that was wanted was
a promise on the part of the men that they would not
go to the house again, and if they chose to give that
promise he would let them go, but if not he should act

otherwise.
Mr. Usher said that was all he required.
The men having given the required pr3mise were dis-
charged.
