POLICE I,vTELLIOENCE—Jare. 27.

GUlLDHALL.—Christopher Marney, described
as a lance corporal inthe Limerick Militia, stationed
at Aldershot, was charged with assaulting Rebecca
Kennedy, an old woman, by striking her on the
mouth and knocking out one of her teeth ; also
with assaulting Emma Scetcher and Emanuel
Cohen by kicking them in a most dangerous
manner.

It appeared that tbe prisoner was drunk in a
pnblichouse in Castle-street, Holborn, and in con-
sequence of his beating a little boy Mrs. Kennedy
interfered, when he knocked her down twice, and
when her daughter, Mrs. Scotcher, attempted to
raiso her he kicked her (the daughter) several times.
Mr. Cohen,' an iron merchant, being in the bar at
the time, an-1 hearing the noise, at the landlady's
_request ran into the taproom, when he was iane-
cliat-:ly attacked by the prisoner, who kicked him
several times and tried-to injure him for life.
Alderman Phillips said it was cowardly for a man'
to strike a woman under Any circumstances ; but in,
this case the prisoner urged nothing in extenuation
of his conduct in committing such ruffianly assaults,
and he therefore committed him to prison for one
month with hard labour.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Thos. Rattigan
was brought up for final examination, charged with
obtaining money from Lieut. A. Smith, of the
Foot Guards, by false and fraudulent representa-
tions.

From the evidence of Lieut. Smith it appeared
hat some time ago the prisoner applied to him for
pecuniary assistance to enable him to redeem his
clothes, so that he might go into the Hospital for
ConsumptCon creditably, he being in bad health
and baring obtained. an order for admission.
The prisoner stated that be had been drum-major
in the 56th Regiment, had serred in the Crimea,
obtained a medal, and had been discharge I. The
prisoner produced a medal and some papers relat
ing to his services and discharge, which he looked
over cursorily, without having any suspicion at the.
time of their real character. Feeling interested in
the prisoner's story he advanced him some money,
and continued to make the advances that were re;
quired to get out the clothes from pawn until the
prisoner was in a condition to take his place in the
hospital. The money advanced to the prisoner was
upwards of 31. Having some suspicions, from cir-
cumstances that subsequently came under his no-
tice, he wrote to the depot at Colchester and to the
War-offiee, and the replies he received informed
him that no such man as Rattigau had been drum-
major in the 56th Regiment, or had gone out to
the Crimea, or had received a medal and his dig:-
charge. He went to the Mendicity Society's office
to ascertain if the prisoner was known there, and
was informed that the prisoner was not known, but
that inquiries would ba made. In a short time
afterwards he heard that pi ioner was in custody,
and that evidence was forthcoming to show that an
imposition hid been practised upon him.
The prisoner wastemanded until yesterday, when
Corporal John Edmunds, of the 56th Regt , proved
that Rattigan had formerly been a private in the
regiment, had been discharged years age, and never
was drum-majo-.
The Mendicity Society, after Lieut. Smith's
visit, set on f 'ot inquiries, and succeeded in ascer-
taining that the prisoner had imposed upon several
ladies and noblemen and gentlemen, among whom
were Lady Augusta Cadogan, the Duke of Welling-
ton the RoV. J. Kingsley, &c.
Mr. Beadon said thre was no doubt in his mind
whatever that the prisoner had bees guilty of a
gross fraud in going about obtaining money from,
beuevolent persons by fraudulent statements. As it
was clearly proved that the prisoner was an impos-
tor he should send him to hard labour fur three
months.

MARYLEBNOE.—Two young men, who gave
their names Chas. Lucas, and George Croley, were
charged with highway robbery upon the person of
Elizabeth Hemnaans.

Prolecutrix deposed that she had been living in
the service of Capt. Banbury in the Regent's-park,
and that, having been but a short time then, and
being nearly a stranger in London, she inquired of,
the prisoners, whom she met in Church-street on
the previous night after leaving her situation, to
direct her to the establishment knoa-n as the Ser-
vants' Horne, which she berievediwas situate:in Nut-
ford piece, Edgware-road. They told her they were
going in that direction, and would show her the
way. They proceeded some distanCe when Lucas
said to Croley, " We should like a drop of gin,"
and she remarked that she would treat them. He
(Lucas) then exdainied, " We don't want silver,
we want gold," and seizing her by the' thibat threw
her down, when be and bis companion treated her
with the greatest violence. She screamed out
" Murdt,r !" and on two policemen coming up she
was reached. Had it.not been for their opportune
arrival she believed that she would have been mur-
dered. The prisoners took from her pocket her
purse, containing 21. 15s. in gold and silver.
• The prisoners, who denied the charge, were re-
manded till Weinesday-.
Mr. John Horton, who for a great many years
has carried OK business as a carpenter and under-
taker in South-street, Manchester-square, was
brought bef)re Mr. Broughton for the third time,
charged with forging bills of exchange.
The prisoner, who reserve 1 his defence, was
committed for trial upon four distinct charges.

EAST INDIA COMPANY.

[A portion of the following appearod in our late editibn
of last evening:]—

The adjourned meeting of the proprietors for the
purpose of considering the proposed change in the
Government of India, was held this morning at the
East India House, Leadenhall- atreet Mr. Ross
Mangles, M.P., chairman of the Court of Directors, in
the chair. The attendance of proprietors was more
numerous than at either of the previous meetings.
The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the business of the
meeting, urged on the proprietors the necessity of their
bringing the proceedings to a close that day, either by
affirming or negativing the resolution before them.
In reply to a question from Mr. Lewin,
The CHAIRMAN, as we understood, intimated that the
directors would support, by their votes, the resolution
proposed by Mr. Crawshay.
Mr. HEL➢s, in resuming the debate, referred to the
petition circulated by the directors since the last meeting,
and said that its perusal confirmed the impression it
made on bias when read to the court of proprietors.
He highly applauded the document, observing it was one
that any Chancellor of the Esschequer might be proud of
—and one that would do credit to the best served
country in Europe. (Hear, hear.) It represented ❑ot
only the feelings of the court of directors, but those of
the proprietors and the public out of doors. (Hear,
hear, and cheers.) He referred to a former proposi-
tion of Mr. Jones's, urging the desirableness
of their having Indian representatives in the hoard of
directors to inform the tour' and the people of England
of the actual requirements of the Indian people. (Hear,
hear.) It was to be regretted that the Government had
not allowed the court of proprietors and directors an
opportunity of discussing the details of their proposed,Mea-
sure, especially as the members of the court of directors
comprised men who were perhaps the best qualified in this
country to give a sound opinion on Indian Government.
He was, however, very much afraid that her Majesty's
Government were rather more anxious to silence than
take advantage of their information, and that they con
templated shutting up the India House by a sudden
stroke. (Hear, hear.) He referred to public meetings
that had been held in reference to India to mislead the
people of England—he especially alluded to one held at the
London Tavern, attended by Lord Clanricarde, brother-in-
law of the present Go verisor-General of India,and observed
his lordship then stated that the annexations in India
had taken place at the instigation and direction of the
Court of Directors. That and similar statements made
by the noble lord showed astonishing ignorance or false-
hood on his part, and was, he (Mr. Helps) presumed, his
passport to office. The hon. proprietor said he entirely
concurred in the resolution, which is to the followieg
effect :—" That the proposed transfer of the governing
powers of the East India Company to the Crown is op-
posed to the rights and privileges of the East India
Company, is fraught with danger to the constitu-
tional interests of England, is perilous to the
safety of our Indian empire, and calls for the resist-
ance of the Corporation by all constitutional mea❑s ;"
and then proceeded to discuss it clause by clause urging
that facts and circumstances confirmed the truth of its
expression. The Government of the East India Com-
pany had produced a great amount of material prosperity
amongst tire people of India, which wasabout to be putin
peril by the proposed scheme of her Majesty's Government.
It had also advanced Christianity, and seed once sown in
the soil of religious toleration was sure to flourish and
come to maturity. The people of India possessed greater
freedom than any of the European countries, 'and was
blessed wits one of the greatest blessings of civilisation
up to the present disturbances—the freedom of the
press. The policy of the Government was to condem❑
first and examine afterwards.

Mr. C. MILLS, the oldest member of the Board, de-
fended the conduct of the Board of Directors in the
Government of India. He complained that no charges
could or had been made against the Board. He considered
the Premier would make no cbar!,;e against them, but pro-
bably others would to whom truth was a matter of in-
difference. The board were ready to meet the strictest
investigation into all they had done, and they empha-
tically denied that they bad been the cause of any delay
its the transmis, ion of troops through Egypt, that being
a political matter resting with the Government
and the ambassador at the East. He said that
the proposed change would increase the cost
of Government—would elevate Mr. V. Smith to a
secretaryship to whose loose rein and spurs India was to
be entrusted ; the officers removed to the west end of
town, and every trace of the company swept away. He
remarked that Parliament was the worst tribunal before
which to bring private grievances. Men were gene-
rally dragged before it and afterwards abused by it.
Colonel RAWLINSON (director) said he was one of the
minority at the board who were not prepared to adopt
the resolution or the petition. All his associations and
remini•cences were in favour of the present form of Go.
vernment, having risen in that service from an infantry
cadet to the high position of a director. He considered
we bad been unable to realise the danger that had me-
naced and was menacing us now. The question was whether
the proposed chat ge would or would not he for the
general good of India and England. He believed it
would, and proceeded to prove his opinion. The proxi-
mate cause of the rebellion, ho considered, was the an-
nexation of Oude, and he thought they were far from

WESTMINSTER.—Thomas Fox, a man about
50 years of age, was charged with having f loniously
entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Edmonds, soli-
citor, awl stolen therefrom a peat quantity of mis-
cellaneous property of considerable value.
The circumstances of the case are very singular,
the robbery having been committed as far back as
August last, and the prisoner owing his apprehen-
sion to the recent confession of an accomplice in the
robbery at present under sentence of four years'
penal servitude for forgery. Mr. Edmonds,, a solici-
tor, 25, Lawrence Pountney-lane, City, resided in
August last at Oakley-lodge, Chelsea, and during a '
six weeks' visit to Bognor locked his house up, re-
questing his next-door neighbour to give an eye to
it. On his return, about the end of September, he
found the whole of his wardrobe and a large quan-
tity of miscellaneous property had been carried off.
He examined the house carefully, but there' were no
external marks of violence about it, and the pre-
sumption consequently was teat it had been entered
by skeleton keys.
George Edward Wilmot, who described himself
as a painter, glazier, and glass-cutter, the convict
alluded to, who had been brought from prison by
habeas, said that John Souden, the son-in-law of the
man living next door to Oakley-lodge, a semi-de-
tached cottage, was what in slang parlance it termed
,the "putter up" of the robbery. In the presence
of witness and the prisoner Fox he said that there.
were articles of value in the untenanted house of Mr.
Edmonds, which could be taken by opening the
front door. The prisoner Fox spoke of a robbery of
silks he had recently committed iu the country, and
said that, having spent the proceeds, he- was now
" hard up," and he and witness must-go' and do this
(Mr. Edmonds's) " job." Witness in-an evil hoer
consented, and accompanied prisoner, whO
was provided with skeleton keys, to Oakley-
lodge, between five and six o'clock in the even-
ing. Soudeu, who had invented some excuse to get
his wife and children out of the way, was waiting a
few paces off in the street. Prisoner must hav
ned e been

charged with stealing a
.horse and van-and two
hogsheads of sugar, value 1691. e in, Vennington-
street, Ratoliff-highway.
It appeared from the evidence of two police-
men, James Wallace and George Savage, Noe.
147 and 149 H, that on the 32th inst. their atten-
tion was called to ,a horse arid Ten which was stand•
ing near the London. Dock Wallin ,Penpington-
Wect. There was a man with a whip standing
near the van whom the officers knew to be a con-
victed thief, and he was on the look-out. The con-
stables addressed the man with the whip and said
to him, "There is something wrong going on
here ; where is the carman gone who belongs to
the van !" The person thus addressed• said, " I
don't know." The policeman said, " You must
know, you have got the carman's whip." The fellow
then said he drove for Mr. Goulding. The con-
stables then looked into the van and saw the
prisoner and another man actively engaged in scrap-
ing sugar out of two hogsheads, with which' the van
was laden, with iron hoops. • There were sacks under
the sample holes of the hogsheads, which the thieves
were tilling with sugar. The prisoner and his com-
panion immediately jumped out of the van and ran
easily. The policemen started off, in pursuit, but
only one man (the prisoner) was Captured. His
hands, arms, face, and clothes were covered' with
sugar, leaving no doubt, independent of the ocular
proof, of the work in which he had' been engaged.
