POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Oct. 16.

MARI.I3:OROUGH•STREET.:Arehd' '1,20.n)
a gentlemanly-looking Man, was chailid
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. Dad, solicitor to the London Association for
the Protection of Trade, conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street,
appeared for the defence.
&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 cne, 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 achandelier 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 ho would
get it done by Saturday, which would be time
enough to rend, 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, but 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 after 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. Hannant, superintendent of the C division,
deposed--I 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 Paultonesquare in
the name of Burrell." I replied, " Messrs. Greene
say you call yourself Burrell," and ho 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

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'ern°
precipitated into the raging sea. Two men were dro'n!7,
