POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Oct. 16

MARLB OR OUGH •S TREE T.—Archd. Logan,
a gentlemanly-looking man, was charged with
obtaining by false pretences from Messrs. Greene
and Niner, lamp manufacturers, 138, Regent-street,
a gas glass chandelier, four vases, and a lamp, of
the value of £22, with intent to cheat and defraud
them of the same.
Mr. Dod, solicitor to the London Association for
the Protection of Trade, conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street,
appeared for the defence.
al Mr. Dod, having given an outline of the case,
observed that the prisoner was the individual
alluded to in the late numbers of a Trade Protection
Society's circular in the following terms:—" Logan,
Captain Archibald, 265, High•street, Exeter, for-
merly of Ireland, also of Brett's Hotel, Furnival's-
inn, also of Church-street, Paddington, and of Car-
marthen and Bristol, said to be late of the Dragoon
Guards."

Mr. A. G. L. Niner deposed—l am in partner-
ship with Mr. Henry Greene, and carry on business
at 138, Regent-street, and elsewhere. The prisoner
came first to our warehouse at 8 o'clock in the
evening of the Ist of February and asked to be
shown a candle lamp. He looked at several and
selected one, which he wished to have put in order.
We were to write to him and let him know when
it was ready if he did not call in the interim. I
asked his name; he replied " Burrell, 49, Paulton-
square, Chelsea," and I wrote down the same in his
presence in the book I now produce, and he left.
On the Ist of March he again came, saw the new
burnished lamp, and approved it. He then said he
wanted alchandelier for his drawing-room. He
looked over the stock, and selected one the price of
which was £ll 10s. He said he could not pay for the
things till August, and I answered " Very well."
He said the gas was not yet laid on, but he would
get it done by Saturday, which would be time
enough to send. This was on Thursday. He
afterwards said he would let us know where to send
the things, and I booked in the regular way the
orders. I produce the entry. I did not know any one
of the name of Burrell, bid upon reference to an old
directory I saw the name at the address given, and
I in consequence had no hesitation in supplying the
goods as ordered. If I had not found the name I
should first have made further inquiries. lam a
member of a Trade Society, and have in their pub-
lication been put on my guard against a Captain
Logan, and if the prisoner had used that name I
should certainly not have sent the goods. Our clerk
had instructions from me to forward the goods. On
the 6th of March the prisoner again came, and said
he wanted something for a present. On looking
over the stock he selected a pair of Bohemian
jewelled glass vases, and, the price being agreed
upon, purchased the same. He did not pay, but
ordered them to be sent to his house.

Thomas Rathbone, a clerk in the house, deposed
—I was present when the prisoner came on the Ist
of February. He ordered a candle-lamp, and
directed it to be relackered. I saw Mr. Niner
enter something in a book as his name and address.
A few days alter the 6th of March (the witness
was rather confused in the matter of date) the pri•
soner called again, and said he had met with an
accident and broken one of a pair of vases, or jugs,
which he had previously ordered, and should like it
rematched, or else he would have another pair. I
knew him as coming, but did not remember his
name, and therefore asked him it, and he replied,
" I'm Mr. Burrell." The clerk coming in at the
moment, I left him to him.

Robert Stevens, porter to the prosecutor, said—l
saw Mr. Niner enter the name and address given by
the prisoner. On the 3d of March I took a four-
light gas chandelier to 49, Paulton-square, Chelsea.
It was in the morning. I asked for Mr. Burrell,
and said I had brought a chandelier. The servant
who opened the door showed me into the drawing-
room, and said she would fetch him. The pri-
soner came to me, and on my telling him what
I had brought said " Yes." I asked where he
would have it fixed, and he replied he was not pre-
pared yet, as the gas people had not been to lay on
the gas, and ordered me to leave it in the parlour.
He said he would let Mr. Niner know when he was
ready. I left it as requested, and he gave me
2s. for myself. A fortnight after I went with
a candle-lamp. The prisoner said " All right."
I showed him how to trim it, and he gave me ls. I
asked when I should fix the chandelier, and he, in
, reply, said the gas people had done it.
Mr. Hann ant, superintendent of the C division,
deposed—l apprehended the prisoner at eight p.m.
yesterday in Regent-street, just after receiving in-
formation he was wanted. I said, " Mr. Logan,
Messrs. Greene and Niner wish very much to speak
to you." He asked, " Who are they ?" It was on
the opposite side of the way, and I pointed out the
shop. He then asked, " What do they want ?" and
I replied, "They charge you with obtaining a chan-
delier and other goods by false pretences." He
said, " That's wrong. I bought the things for the
landlady where I then lived in Paulton-square in
the name of Burrell." I replied, " Messrs. Greene
say you call yourself Burrell," and he answered
that he did not, and his old landlady had the bill.
I took him into custody, and at the station he gave
his address 57, Pall-mall. I have since found that
he did live there, but has left, and that they did noto
know where he had gone. His real address Ido
not know.
Rathbone recalled, said he had been since to
money, and

WORSHIP-STREET.—James Bennett was
charged with the following impudent robbery.
Fitzgerald, a constable of the N division, stated
that while on duty in the East-road, City-road, on
the preceding evening he heard a cry of " Stop
thief," and seeing the prisoner running towards
him, he suspected he might be the thief, and throw-
ing open his arms, the prisoner ran right into them
but exclaimed, " Get out of my way you --," and
attempted to jerk himself out of them again. Wit-
ness told him not to be quite so fast as that, and
held him tightly, on which the prisoner kicked him
furiously about the legs, though unavailingly, and
as several persons then came up and told him a rob-
bery had been committed, he took the prisoner back
the same road he appeared to have come, and then
found that he had committed a robbery upon a
tradesman named Rout, who kept a boot and shoe
shop some distance up the road.
Mr. Rout said that the prisoner had entered his
shop just before and asked to be shown some boots.

ult., that note was changed at a shop In? Bishops--
gate in payment for some small article, and the
prisoner was identified as the person who had
tendered and received the change for it. The
matter was placed in the hands of the police, and
it was ascertained that the prisoner's husband is a,
notorious housebreaker, and is now in custody for
possessing housebreaking implements.
The prisoner said she knew nothing of the
matter, and all that had been stated against her
was false.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Monday
next.
The prosecutor said he wished publicly to state
that he was greatly pleased with the exertions that
Inspector Bryant, Constable Tyler, G division, and
Sergeant Convey, S division, had used in the
matter.

Charles Edwards, Charles Green, and Wm. Wise
were charged with defrauding Mr. Robert Cobbey,
the landlord of the Sun publichouse, 66, Long-acre,
of £202 by skittle sharping.
The prosecutor met the prisoners and went with
them to a publichouse at Islington, and having
played at skittles lost the above sum. The pri—
soners were apprehended by police-constables Ack-
rill, 48 F, and Langley, 100 A, and on them were
found false notes representing in value the sum of
£3OO, besides sharping cards.
Mr. Lewis, who attended for the prisoners, said
the case had been settled (it was understood that
the prosecutor had received £l5O out of the £202),
and asked for the dismissal of the prisoners.
Mr. Barker said, as there was no prosecutor, the
prisoners would be discharged.

THAMES.—Henry Everard, a builder, contrac-
tor, and brickmaker in Poplar, appeared to answer
to an adjourned warrant taken out against him by
a young woman, named Susan Beer, of Beaumont-
row, White Horse-lane, Stepney.
Mr. Metcalfe, barrister, instructed by Mr. Charles
Young, solicitor, defended Mr. Everard.
The facts of the case were of a very extraordi-
nary description. On the 16th of October, 1867,
an order was made upon the defendant by Mr.
Yardley, at this court, to pay 2s. 6d. per week for
the support of a male child, of which the com-
plainant, Susan Beer, swore he was the father. The
defendant continued the weekly payments regu-
larly until the end of May of the present year,
when he received information that the child had
died, and refused to pay any more money to the
complainant, Susan Beer, the mother of the child.
The defendant was summoned for the arrears due,
amounting to £1 Os. 6d., in the latter part of July,
and not being able to prove the child was dead, and.
the mother having sworn that it was alive, he was
ordered to pay the amount, and did so. Subse-

quently another summons was taken out against
him for arrears amounting to 155., which he
was also ordered to pay. On his refusal to do
so a warrant was applied for, on which he was
brought before Mr. Selfe on Tuesday, the 9th inst.
and the complainant again swore the child she had.
affiliated to the defendant was still alive, and pro-
duced one which she said was Everard's child, and
that it was four years of age. The child did not
appear to be more than two years old, and the de-
fendant alleged it was not the one affiliated upon
him, and was the offspring: of the complainant's
sister. The complainant had on a previous occa-
sion sworn, in her cross-examination by Mr.
Young, that the child had been at Portsmouth
since it was four months old, but refused to state
with whom, and that she went down to Portsmouth
to bring it up to London, and paid 2a, 6d. for the
return ticket to Portsmouth. At the last hearing,
in consequence of the solemn asseverations of the
defendant that the child produced was not his, ard
not the one affiliated upon him, Mr. Selfe consented
to adjourn the case, and directed the complainant's
sister, a Mrs. Truscott, of 48, Paynton-street, East
India-road, to produce her child at the next hear-
ing of the case, which she promised to do, and
claimed costs. Mr. Selfe ordered a guinea to be
paid to Mr. Bowdler, the clerk, as costs, and
said it should be handed to the complainant if she
proved to his satisfaction, on the final hearing of
the case, that the child was alive, and that she
had practised no deception.
Yesterday, Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said his
client, Susan Beer, did not appear, and there was
an end of the case.

Mr. Selfe—Why does she not appear P
Mr. smith—Because she has no opportunity of
obtaining the second child.
Mr. Selfe—Then I will never grant process
against the defendant again, unless the complainant
produces her own child and her sister's child.
Mr. Metcalfe said he had numerous witnesses to
prove the bastard child of the complainant, of
which Mr. Everard was adjudged to be the putative
father, was dead ; that it died of ascites after scar-
latina, on the 13th of February, 1859, and that it
was buried in Bow Cemetery. The defendant,
owing to the false representations of the.com-
plainant and others, had been paying 28.

EXPLOIT BY BRITISH SAILORS.—On Tuesday,
Sept. 25, it was blowing fresh at Beyrout, and a heavy surf
rendered landing a dangerous operation. A French boat
was watering near the beach, as one of the boats of her Ma-
jesty's ship Neptune was similarly employed. Presently a
little punt used by the French was capsized, and her crew
precipitated into the raging sea. Two men were drowned►
and a third would inevitably have met the same fate it:lt
had not been for the Neptune's boat. As soon as the zeLs:
fortune happened two of the English crew, named F.Arnw-Y
