POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
WORKED TILL THE LAST. —Mr. George Tooley, Walmer-
road, Notting-hill, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer
the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals of causing a horse to be worked in an
unfit state..

George Young, an officer of the Society, said that on
Wednesday last a driver in the employ' of the defendant
was brought to the court charged with working a horse in
an unfit state, and fined 20s.—the horse suffering from
disease called "grease," wounds on the back, and was
broken kneed. The defendant admitted sending out the
horse, but said that he did not think "grease" any reason
why it should not work.
Tke defendant said he always understood that a horse
with that disease suffered no pain. The horse slipped
down on the day in question.
Mr. Tyrwhitt supposed that was because it could not
go any further.

The defendant called a witness who said he had never
seen the horse go lame.
__ _

Mr. Tyrwhiti said the defendant admitted he had had
the horse slaughtered, and there was predominating
evidence that it was at the time spoken of unfit for work.
The defendant would have to pay 20s. and costs.

WESTMINSTER.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—Mr. John Edward Irving,
a young man of very gentlemanly appearance and address,
was placed at the bar charged with stealing a great num-
ber of tickets belonging to tho Metropolitan Railway
Company.

George Webb, clerk at the South Kensington station,
said that prisoner walked into his office there last Satur-
day, and representing that lie was employed as clerk at
West Brompton, said he was very ill, and asked him to
procure him a cup of tea, which he immediately sent for.
Prisoner was " hovering" about tho cash on the counter,
and witness desired him to take a seat at the other end of

the office. Shortly aftor prisoner wont away, and then
520 tickets belonging to the railway, worth five guineas
when issued, near which prisoner had been seated, were
missed.

Henry Taylor, booking clerk at Sloane-square, said that
prisoner walked into his office on Monday, and represent-
ing himself as booking clerk at West Brompton, produced
the stolen tickets, and wanted him to buy them. He then
approached the loose cash, and his hand travelled once or
twice towards it, but witness removed it, and considering
there was something wrong about him requested him to
go, and then sent a message to the Brompton station.
A porter proved finding the tickets on the line.
Prisoner said he was drunk when he took the tickets.
He went to restore them on Monday, and again got intoxi-
cated ; that ho went willingly last night to the station
and offered to pay for the tickets.
The Superintendent of the railway solicited a remand,
stating there were two other charges against the prisoner
for felony.
Mr. Arnold said he should remand the prisoner for a
week.

Prisoner—Will you take bail ?
Mr. Arnold—No; lam informed there aro other charges
against you.

T HADES.
TEA ROBBERIES IN THE LONDON Doc s.--Two men
named Henry Sparrow and George Enfield, were brought
before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing tea in the Lon-
don Dock. The first prisoner was stopped by Alexander
Wilson, a dock constable, as he was leaving the dock, with
two ounces of tea in his neckerchief. The prisoner said
be picked it up.

Mr. Benson said that repeated warnings had been given •
to the men employed in the docks where large quantities
of tes were necessarily exposed on the quays, sheds, and
warehouses. The numerous convictions seemed to have
no effect, and men would risk their situations, their
liberty and their characters by pilfering small quantities
of tea, coffee, or sugar. Here was another case. The pri-
soner would not obtain more than 2d. for the tea he had
stolen. Property in the docks must be protected, and
however small the amount of property stolen, punishment
in every case would follow. He sentenced the prisoner to
two months' imprisonment and hard labour.

Enfield was then put into the felons' dock, and Inspec-
or Ellis, of the Dock police, said that he discovered six
ounces of tea in the prisoner's neck-cloth.
Mr. Benson—The same punishment must follow in this
case. The prisoners will not be employed again in the
dock. These wretched petty robberies, so frequent, pro-
duce an incalculable amount of mischief and misery. The
prisoner is sentenced to two months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
The prisoner—For six ounces of tea.

Mr. Benson —Yes, fur ono ounce, if you had no more.
