POLICE INTELLIG'ENCE.-July 31.

MA RLEO RO UG riiE ET. —Sara76 Gibbs was
brought before Mr. Beadon, charged on the police sheet
with cncealing the birth of her chill.
Mr. peadon asleep if the child in the arms of the pH-
Boner was the child whose birth she was charged with
concealing?
The constable replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Beadon said it was quite absurd to place such a
charge on the sheet. Concealment of birth was where
the dead body of an infant was conveyed away and con-
cealed. The charge, if anything, was one of attempting
to murder her infant.
), Miss Bryant said she was assistant to a dressmaker,
No. 51, Conduit•street. The prisoner was one of the ser-
vants. On the 3d of July she noticed that the prisoner
looked ill. The prisoner went to the coal cellar, and
witness followed and listened, and then heard the cry of
an infant. She then told her employer that ehe sus-
pected something was wrong with Sarah, and on this a
police constable was sent for.
Police-constable Scarlett, C 120, saiarrbe went into
the cellar, and there, buried under the coars„jile found
' the body of a live infant. The prisoner saki' it was an
unfortunate business, but she had not put the chilcl.where
it was found with any bad intention. •
Mr. Mitchell, assistant to Dr. Johnson; said he was
called in to see the child. He found it coviird&With ooal,
its eyes and mouth were filled with coal. The child was
alive and must have been a particularly strong child to
have survived the treatment it bad received. The child
and afterbirth were altogether, and this accounted for
the fact of the child not having died from hemorrhage.
To a question from the magistrate, Mr. Mitchell re-
plied that the child must have died had not assistance
been rendered in time.
Mr. Beadon remanded the case for a few days.

SOUTHWARK.—Johrt Stacey, a beershop-keeper,
of Little Torrington-street, Torrington-square, and TVil-
liam Simpson, alias George Flatman, respectable looking
men, well known on the turf, were brought up from
Brighton by Inspector Carpenter, R division, charged
with uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note at the
Brighton Railway terminus, London-bridge.
Stephen Richard Jones, a booking clerk in the employ
of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway
• Company, said that he was at the pay window of the
London•bridge terminus on Tuesday morning, issuing
tickets for Goodwood. The train was a very long one,
and just as ho was about to close the window for the
starting of the train, the prisoner came rushing up and
called for two tickets for Goodwood. He supplied them,
when Stacey handed him a 51. note. Witness gave,him
four sovereigns and the remainder of the change in silver
when they went away together and entered the railway
carriage. As soon as they were gone witness examined
the note, and having some suspicion as to its genuineness,
he took it into one of the offices, when be was recom-
mended to take it to the Bank of England. He did so
immediately, when the Bank authorities pronounced it
to be a forgery. On his return to the railway Inspector
Carpenter was communicated with, and a telegraphic
message was forwarded to Brighton, where the prisoners
were detained and taken before Mr. Bigge, he
diary magistrate. Witness was positive al to the iden-
tity of the prisoners.
Inspector Carpenter, R division, said be received in-
formation of the occurrence, and caused the prisoners to
be detained at Brighton. On his arrival there he asked
Stacey where be got the note from that he had passed to
last witness. He said be had received it the day before
from a servant girl from Gower-street, near his house.
The other prisoner said lie knew nothing of the note.
