BOW-STREET.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF OBSCENE BOOKS AND PRINTS.—
Paul de Paris and Charles Saunders were placed before
Sir T. Henry, charged ou a warrant with selling obscene
prints and books at 45 and 46, Holly well-street.
A witness was called, who proved the purchase of the
books and Elides produced, the price charged for the first
ranging from one guinea to five shillings, and tho slides
wore charged £1 per dozen.

Inspector Brennan then stated that he, accompanied by
Sergeant Kerley, made the seizure of the stock in the
various shops, which created the greatest excite-
ment, last night in liollywell - street. A number
of the occupiers of other shops, when it became
known what the police were engaged in, throw large
quantities of similar prints from their windows into the
road; and the persons residing in the different shops
afterwards ran into the street in an excited manner, all
endeavouring to escape being taken by the police. There
was the utmost activity exercised by the whole of the
fraternity, and men who had never ran for years last
night showed the greatest activity. The amount of prints
and books seized was larger than had ever been taken by
the police, and the character, if possible, worse and worse.
The prisoners admitted the truth of the evidence of the
police, but Sir T. Henry thought it advisable to remand
the prisoners.

Richard Groves was next charged with committing the
samo offence at 33 and 34, Wych-street.
The books and photograph slides here seized were of
the worst description.

The prisoner began to cry, and said he was not the pro-
prietor of the shop, but merely filled up his time by assist-
ing his brother.

Inspector Brennan said it was quite true that he did
assist his brother, and ho did so by keeping a watchful
eye on the police to give timely notice of their appealing
in the street.

Sir T. Henry also remanded this prisoner.
