POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Beard was prepated to show that the notice was
irjside.
Mr. fienty—That is the onh- question in the case.
It being; manifest that the conducor was not sober
enough to bear the ease, the inquiry was adjourned ; but
nsecc tor Mackenzie said he had no wish to press the charge
after hearing his worship's exposition of the law.
James Quinn, a post-office letter-carrier in the Western
district, Old Caveudish-square, was committed for trial for
stealing a letter, containing two half-sovereigns, it being
the second case from the same office within a week.

WESTMINSTER.—FAMILY JARS.—Anne Burrows
appeared on a warrant before Mr. Paynter, having been
taken into eus dy by Seate, one of the warrant officers of
the court, chargad with having threatened to take the life of
John Burrows, her husband, a master sweep, carrying on
business in Pond-place, Chelsea.
The complainant stated that for some time past he had
been living very unhappily with his wife, who was a woman
of a very excitable disposition. Last Monday morning,
about four o'clock, she threatened that she would cut his
throat, and that she would afterwards serve herself in the
same way. She had threatened several times that she
would murder him.

Mr. Paynter—l suppose you have forgiven her several
mes.

Complainant—l have, sir; but lam never safe. lam in
danger of my life day after day. The fact is she is jealous.
Prisoner—Yes, sir; he has a woman that he is in the
constant habit of visiting. He takes to her what belongs to
his family.
Complainant—lt is false.
Prisoner—lt is true, sir. He goes to see her night after
night, and pretends that he goes and sleeps in the fields on
account of my temper. I cannot live with him. I want a
separation. He uses me cruelly. That day week he dragged
me out of bed by the hair of my head. I feel the Effects of

it now.
Seate said that the prisoner had been away from her hus-
band about four days. She is now under recognisances to
keep the peace towards her husband.
Mr. Paynter—Why do you not leave him?
Prisoner—l have no means of living without some sup-
port from him.

Mr. Paynter—You appear to live very unhappily together.
You had better allow your wife something (to the husband).
What can you allow her ?
Complainant—Half-a-crown a week. Ido not want to
live with her.
Prisoner said she was content to take tkat.

She was then held to bail in one surety of £5, with an
understanding that some arrangement would be entered into
for a separation.

MARYLEBONE.—AUDACIOUS STREET ROBBERY.—
CAUTION TO LADIES.— Caroline Smith and Anne Crook,
both of them well-dressed women, the former describing
herself as being a married woman, living at 46, Newman-
street, Oxford-street, and the latter also married, living at
4, Portland-road, Portland-place, were placed at the bar
before Mr. Long charged with the following audacious
robbery :
Mrs. Caroline Part, wife of Mr. James Part, of Camden-
road villas, Camden-town, deposed that on the previous
afternoon, while walking with her son near her own resi-
dence, when a carriage broke down, her son left her for
a few moments to see what was the matter, a considerable
crowd having collected. The prisoners were close to her,
and she felt a hand at her pocket ; they left her rather
hastily, and on feeling her pocket she found that her purse
had been stolen. She followed the prisoners, and saw them
putting their heads in at the carriage window as if to make
inquiry as to whether any ene was hurt; and she distinctly
observed Smith pass her purse to the other prisoner. She
(proseeutrix) called to her son, by whom both the prisoners
were given into custody, and Crook then gave up the purse,
which contained three sovereigns and Gs. or 7s. in silver,
alleging that it was given to her by Smith.
Kelly, 371 S, produced the purse, and it was identified by
Mrs. Part. The officer said that upon inquiry he had ascer-
tained that correct addresses had been given.
The prisoners, who pleaded guilty, were sent to the House
of Correction, for three months with hard labour.
CRUELTY TO DONKEYS ON HAMPSTEAD-lIEATH.
Thomas Jones, aged 14, was charged at the instance of
Mr. Love, chief constable of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention el' Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly ill-using two
donkeys.
George Seaman, an active officer of the society, stated
that on the previous afternoon he was on Hampstead-heath,
when he heard such sounds as convinced him were caused
by blows from a stick, and on turning round he saw the
prisoner belabouring with all his might with a large stick
two donkeys upon which two stout ladies were firmly
seated on their saddles. The prisoner, evidently in con-
formity with orders which he had received, did all in his
power to make the animals gallop as fast as possible, and
in order to effect his object he resorted to the brutal course
of beating them on the legs, backs, and hind quarters.
Witness desired him to desist, but lie refused to do so, and
on his return, after lie had nearly exhausted the strength of
the poor animals, wanes took him into custody, when in
I reply to questions put to him, he said, "What was I to do?
The ladies promised me a penny each beyond the regular
charge for myself if I would make them "cut alcnng as
fast as they could step out." The officer further said that
the donkeys had no shoes, and that they were altogether in
a very bad condition.
Mr. Love stated that his worship could have no idea
unless from actual observation of the cruelly practised by
donkey drivers on the heath. Complaints were continually
being made, and officers belonging to the society were
constantly on the look-cut for offenders, many of whom bad
within the last five or six weeks been brought up and con-
victed.

MANSION-HOUSE.— William Francis Lefevre, a
young fellow respectably attired, and of general appearance
well calculated to disarm suspicion, was charged with steal-
ing a purse containing a half-sovereign and some silver
from the person of Mrs. Eliza YeHard.
The prosecntrix deposed that on Tuesday afternoon she
lauded from a steam-boat at the London-bridge pier, her
husband being with her, but a little in advance, when the
prisoner rushed violently against her, and she distinctly felt
his hand in her pocket. She put her own hand down as
rapidly as she could, thinking to catch his, but he was too
quick, for when she reached her pocket his hand was
gone and her purse with it. Site immediately called
out to her husband to stop the prisoner, and lie did so,
when tte prisoner demanded that her husband should search
him at once, but her husband refused to do so, telling him
that that would be better done by a policeman. Her hus-
band kept close to the prisoner, threatening to stop him if
he offered to run away, till they met a policeman, when the
prisoner was given into custody. When searched at the
station-house the purse was not found on the prisoner, but
prosecutrix had no doubt that he bad transferred it to a
confederate by a rapid and imperceptible movement while
upon the steam-boat pier.
The prisoner denied that he had taken the purse, and
asserted that he was a respectable character, and got his
living honestly as a cap-maker.
Police-constable 522—He gave a false address, my lord.
Prisoner—That's false ; I gave a correet address, and
I am quite willing to go with this gentleman (meaning the
officer) or any other gentleman to show him where I live.
I'll go now.
Lord Mayor—No you wont, you'll stop here.
Prisoner—All I've got to say is that I'm a respectable
Police-constable Monger—He has been here before, my
lord.
Prisoner (impudently)—That's false ; I never was here
before.
Partridge, the gaoler, however, deposed that the prisoner
had been previously convicted, and thereupon he was re-
manded, in order to give him all the advantage which
might arise from a full inquiry into his antecedents.
Robert Kelley and John Crawley, each 16 years old,
were charged with being concealed iu a truck on the pre-
mises 2 and 3, Philpot-lane, supposed with intent to commit
a felony.
Two or three times recently attempts had been made to
steal a piece of lead pipe, which was down a back wall, and
last night about 10 o'clock the inmates cf the premises heard
a rattling sort of noise, which convinced them that the
attempt was being repeated. Upon going outside two boys
were seen to scamper away from the pipe, which was all but
broken away from the roof, and a slight search discovered
the prisoners secreted in a truck.
Kelley was a ragged, diminutive, sharp-looking little
wretch, whose head hardly reached the bar, and Crawley,
who was a lad well grown for his years, endeavoured to
show that he had been made a victim to the persuasive
powers of his companion, who had led him into evil.
They were sent to 21 days' hard labour upon bread and
water—Kelley receiving sentence with the sang froid of
an old hand, while Crawley blubbered like a baby.
A lady, named Burns, was summoned by Wm. Scotkin,
a cabman, for refusing to pay her lawful fare.
The sum in dispute was 6d., complainant having carried
defendant a distance which slightly exceeded three miles;
and she, according to his assertion, resolutely refuses! to pay
more dian ls. 01., which she alleged was what site had
usually paid for the same distance.
Defendant, on her side, stated that she handed com-
plainant half-a-crown, out of which lie was to take his fare.
She admitted that she told him she had never paid more
than ls. 6d. for the same journey ; but urged that if he had
a legal claim to another sixpence he ought to have taken it
out of the half-crown.
The Lord Mayor thought this a very reasonable defence.
It was quite clear that the legal fare was 25., and no doubt
the only object of the cabman, who was sure of his point,
was that he might annoy the lady by a summons and get
his costs and expenses. In this, however, he would be dis-
appointed, as defendant would only be ordered to pay the
6d.' at.d complainant would bear his own costs, and get
nothing for his time.

Mr. Long, in consideration of the youth of the prisoner,
fined him only 103. or seven days in the House of Correction,
at the same time giving him distinctly to understand that
if brought up again for a similar offence, he would, upon
proof thereof, be much more severely dealt with.
ROBBERY OP A LICENSED VICTUALLER. - Anne
Walker was charged with having stolen a pewter pot and a
pint, the property of Mr. Wm. Carruthers, tke New Inn,
Marylebone-lane.
The evidence went to show that on the previous afternoon
the prisoner, who was very drunk, was followed and jeered
by a number of persons, and on a basket containing onions,
and which she was unable to balance upon her head, falling
to the ground a pint pot rolled out of it, and on the basket
being examined there was found in it a quart pot, both the
measures belonging to Mr. Carruthers. The prisoner, who
had run away, was captured by Mr. George Smith, .93,
Marylekone-lane, who came up with her in Mayor-street,
and she was taken into custody by Sergeant Moyes, 14 I),
by whom she was conveyed to the station-house.
The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was committed fur trial.
ANOTHER ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC- HOUSE. —John

_ -
a bricklayer's labourer, employed doing repairs
in the cellar vf.Mr. Francis, the Prince Regent, Seymour-
place, Bryanston-square, was charged with having stolen
therefrom a bottle of sherry; he was also charged with an
assault on the landlord.

The cases were clearly proved against him, and for the
felony he was committed for two months; in addition thereto
he was fined 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment for the assaul.

CLERKENWELL.—VERY BRUTAL TREATMENT OF
A WOMAN.—A RUFFIAN PUNISIIED.--4 rough, sturdy-
koking fellow, who gave the name of George Pony,
residing at 16, King's-road, St. Pancras-road, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with violently
assaulting Mrs. Sophia, a clia!woman, of 7, Church-row,
St. Pancras.

The prosecutrix, a respectable-looking female, who ap-
peared in the witness-box with a fearful black eye, said the
prisoner was her brother-in-law. On Saturday night she
uiet the prisoner, and having spoken to him about some
family matters, he, without receiving the least provocation,
struck her a heavy blow in the eye, and felled her with
great force to the ground. When she got up he beat her
about the head and body, and having again-knocked her
down, the prosecutrix, who was streaming with blood, then
went to the police-station, and complained, and shortly
afterwards the prisoner was apprehended by
_police-
constable Wilson, 432 S. On their way to the station the
prisoner tried to renew the assault upon. the complainant,but was prevented doing so by the pollee. Ills brother,
however, in the most cowardly manner went behind and
struck her a tremendous blow and then ran away. The
prisoner was a little the worse for drink and was very
violent when the charge was being taken at the station.
Sergeant Mulvany, 8 S, and Wilson, 432 5, stated that
the prosecutrix was perfectly sober, and that she presented
on the night of the assault a most fearful appearance.
In the most off-hand manner, the prisoner said his Sister-
in-law annoyed him and he struck her. All the marks of
vio!ence on her face were not his doing.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a perfect savage, and
if he neat on in the manner he was doing he would come to
a very bad end. Ile should send him to the House of Cor-
rection, with hard labour, for two calendar months.
The prisoner, who seemed lather surprised at the decision,
was then removed.

Complainant said 51 for that he would make the lady a
present.of the 6d., if ould do her any good ; but he took
the money nevertheless, and went away grumbling.

GUILDHALL.—TILE ADVANTAGE OF CHARACTER.—
George Knight, alias Jack Street, John Swan, and
John --Inderson, were placed at the bar before Alderman
Sir Chapman Marshall, charged with attempting to pick
pockets in Farringdon-street.
Mr. Lewis, jun., defended the prisoners.
William Stewart, a carpenter and ex-policeman, said he
was carrying a couple of 12-foot mahogany boards under
his arms, in Farringdon-street, when Knight thrust one end
of them away from him, and at the same time cautioned
him that he would knock some one's eye out if he were not
careful. At the same moment witness perceived Anderson
and another man walking in front of two ladies, whose
pockets Swan was attempting to pick. Not knowing
Knight was connected with the other prisoners, he directed
his attention to Swan's operations, upon which they all ran
away across the road. Witness followed them, and again
saw Swan, who carried a coat on his arm to conceal his hand
while making the attempt upon two other ladies' pockets.
Witness drove his planks against Swan's arm to make him
quit his hold of the lady's dress, and then proceeded into
Bride-lane, where he deposited his beards, and immediately
returned and gave information to the police uftke prisoners'
movements, and when taken into custody Swan said ft was
the man who escaped that picked the pockets, and not he.
Sergeant 46, and police-constable 367, said they saw the
prisoners coming out of Black Herse-court, Farringdon-
strcet, and on seeing the officers they all ran away, but
were shortly after captured. Nothing material to the charge
was found upon them, but they all gave false addresses.
Moss, a detective officer, and Lilly, 344, said they had
seen Swan and Anderson convicted both summarily, and at
the sessions, when Swan had four years' penal servitude,
and Anderson 12 months. It was also stated that Knight
had been convicted and soffered 12 months' imprisonment.
Mr. Lewis urged that there really was no evidence to
convict upon in this case, even if the prisoners were the
notorious characters they were represented.
Sir Chapman Marshall said he had given the casette his hest
consideration, and he had determined to commit
pri-
soners for three calendar mouths, with hard labour.

SOUTHWARK.—ROBIULRY OF A GOLD WATCH AND
CHAIN AT BARCLAY'S BREWERY.—John Edwarel3,
a respe,Aable-looking young man, in the employ of Messrs.
Bishop and Newstead, clothiers and jewellers, 90, Holborn-
hill and Shoreditch, surrendered to his hail, charged with
being concerned with another in stealing a gold wash and
chain, value £2O, the property of Robert William Walker,
at Barclay's Brewery.
Mr. Edwin appeared far the prosecutor, and Mr. Solomons
for the defendant.
The prosecutor stated he was lodge-keeper at the brewery.
On the 12th of October last be was called away to one of
the offices, leaving his watch and chain on the desk. He
returned in a few minutes and missed them. Information
was immediately given to the police, and shortly afterwards
a man named Alfi ed Webb was brought to this court charged
with the robbery. When before the magistrate he confessed
to it, and pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months
under the New Criminal Justice Act. Since then witness
bad ascertained that the watch and chain had been pledged
at a pawnbroker's in St. Martin's-lane by the prisoner on
the very day of the robbery; consequently, be gave infor-
mation to the police.
_ _

Cross-examined by Mr. Solomons—Prosecutor had seen
tie prisoner about the lodge with another man, and when
taken into cust,,dy he admitted he pledged the watch.
Sergeant Wise, 459 A, having received information from
last witness of the robbery, proceeded to Wandsworth, and
there be saw the man Webb, who was convicted of stealing
the watch and chain, and sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment. He told witness that the prisoner pledged it at a
pawnbroker's in St. Martin's-lane, where be proceeded
With the prosecutor and found it, consequently be took the
prisoner into custody.
Mr. Combe told the prisoner he must either be tried by
him or go to the stssions. If he preferre& the former, be
must plead guilty.
The prisoner, after consulting with Mr. Solomons his
solicitor, pleßded guilty, and was sentenced to six months
bard labour.

BOW-STREET.—A summons was taken out by Inspector
Mackenzie of the F division of police Against one of the con-
ductors of the London General Company's omnibuses,
plying between the City and the West-end, to try the ques-
tion as to whether the company bad the right to charge
extra fares on Sundays after eight o'clock in the evenings.
Complaints have been frequently made of the hardship
inflicted by this arrangement upon the parties of holiday-
seekers to whom Sunday is the only day of recreation, and
who are mostly in a humble station of life; but both the
omnibus and steamboat proprietors avail themselves of the

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Minus, a costermonger,
of Henry-street, Kent-street, was brought before Mr.
Burcham by Smith and Guest, officers of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charged with
cruelly working a horse in a horrid state of torture.
Smith stated that about eight o'clock on that morning he
was on duty with Guest in the Borough Market, when he
saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart laden with vege-
tables. The poor animal could hardly walk; in fact, only

L A 1-.1 .—T E LATE FATAL FIREWORK EXPLO.,
SION.—.II'. John I?amsey, the owner of the houses No.
1 !old 2, Chatles-street, and 3 and 4, Elizabeth-place,
Wesiminstr-roao, house:; lately used fur the manufacture
of fireworks' and in which the late serous and fatal explo-
siob tcok "lace, attended before Mr. Elliott to answer to
four summonses, and show cause Ally an order should not
be made on him to take down the dangerous ruins, which
are in a shattered and tottering state.
Mr. F. H. Caiger, the architect and surveyor to the
metropolitan police, attended to support the summonses,
and described three of the ruins as being at present in a
dangerous state.

Mr. Inspector Dodd was then called, and deposed upon
oath to the fact of his serving the notices as required by the
Building Act, and also to having affixed the necessary
notices to the hoarding round the ruins. _

In reply to a question from the mav,istrate, Mr. Dodd Said
that three out of four of the ruins were in a dangerous state.
The defendant said that, as respected the building No. 2,
Charles street, he had complied with the request of the
officers.

Mr. Caiger admitted that this was the case, and he had
withdrawn the summons in that instance; but the other
three buildings, as stated by Mr. Dodd, were in a dangerous
state.

The defendant said he should of course comply with the
taw.

Mr. Elliott told him that in the interim the ruins could
not be permitted to be left in a state that was dangerous to
the public; and he should, therefore, make an order that
the provisions of the act must be complied with, and the
buildings taken down in seven days.
At one o'clock, the hour at which summonses are gene-
rally appointed to be beard, Mr. Lock, a member of the
vestry for the parish of St. George-the-Martyr; Mr. White,
of the Crown ; aed Mr. llarris, of the Equestrian Tavern,
in the reighbourhood, were in attendance to solicit the
magistrate's assistance in preventing the further use of the
premises in question in the manufacture, In so crowded a
neighbourhood, of fireworks; but having been told that
three o'clock was the hour appointed for the hearing of the
summons iu question, they went away, saying they should
return, but did not again make their appearance.

TIIAMES.—Morumt AND SON.—J. G. Stewart, a
morose-looking man, about 25, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding his mother,
Mary Ann Stewart.
When the corop!ainant got into the witness-box the blood
was streaming from a wound on her nose and another on
her cheek.

Mr. Selfe—l have seen you and your son here before,
Mrs. Stewart, about the unlawful possession of property,
and not under the most creditable circumstances.

Mrs. Stewart—lt is so. sir, I know. That bad son of
mine has got me into difficulties, and brought me here.
Mr. Selfe—Now, tell me what he has done this afternoon.
Mrs. Stewart said she was a marine-store dealer, carry-
ing on business at No. 95, Broad-street, Ratcliff, opposite
Stone-stairs, and her son was a marine-store dealer also.
He had been on the drink for the last three days. She had
been a widow 16 years, and her son had been almost conti-
nually ill-using her since the death of his father. A few
weeks since he threw a 141 b. iron weight at her head. It
struck her below the ear, knocked her down, and she was
for some time insensible. In consequence of her son having
neglected some business, she remonstrated with him, and he
abused her and took up a jug, with which be struck her on
the face with great violence. The jug was broken to pieces,
an] she was cut on the nose and face. Her son had threat-
ened to murder her, and had repeatedly beaten and kicked
her.

Mr. Selfe—l wish you would get out of the business you
are in. It is a dangerous one, and I have warned you.
Whose name is over the door ?
Mrs. Stewart said her son's name was over the door. The
business was her own, bat her son claimed to be waster of
all her property, the house, and the stock in trade. It was
a painful thing for her to prosecute her own son, but she
had no alternative.
Mr. Selfe—You have told me that at least half a dozen
times, and I don't want to hear it again, Mrs. Stewart.

The prisoner, in defence, said his mother was abusing him
for several hours, and called him a scamp, a scoundrel, and
a villain. _ _ _

Mrs. Stewart—So you are, though I say it.
The prisonerT—She said I ought to be transported, and
abused me so much and worked me up to such a rage that I
threw the earthenware jug at her face.
Here a scene of crimination an recrimination ensued
between the mother and son, and
Mr. Selfe stopped the case and said the parties were ■ot
csol enough to enable him to decide the case at present.
He remanded the prisoner.
SUPPRESSION OF INFAMOUS HOUSES.—Mr. H. J.
Mitchell, vestry clerk of Whitechapel, Mr. Cattell, clerk to
Mr. Glyms, vestry clerk of St. John, Wapping, the parish
officers of the two places, atteuded this court in consequence
of Morris Sheedy, a bloated and repulsive-looking fellow,
having given notice, through Mr. Sydney, of 33, Jewry-
street, his solicitor, that he intended to put in bail, himself
in £BO, and two sureties of £4O each, to appear at the
Clerkena ell Sessions to receive judgment when called upon.
Mr. Mitchell explained, that in consequence of the appal-
ling amount of infamy, blasphemy, drunkenness, and vice
in the district, the "Bast London Association" was brought
into existence, which had already effected much good ; and
at the instigation of that society the parish officers of White-
chapel and Wapping had prosecuted Sheedy, her sister
Margaret James, her husband Benjamin Thomas James,
Ann Gilmore, and others, for keeping common brothels,
and they all pleaded guilty at the last Middlesex sessions.
Mr. Selfe—l know they did; they were wholesale
traffickers its vice and immorality. What has become of
the others ?

Mr. Mitchell—They all found bail to appear to receive
judgment when called upon. Sheedy is now here, and ass
been brought up from Clerkenwell Prison. _

Mr. Selte—There were seven indictments against the
person Sheedy, and he pleaded guilty to all of them.
Mr. Cotton—His sister, Mrs. Margaret James, and her
husband, were the owners of 25 infamous houses. The
scenes in the streets, day and night, and the collection of
prostitutes were so num >rous, that the East London Asso-
ciation interfered and compelled the overseers to prosecute
Sheedy and his relatives.
Mr. Sydney—The nuisance is abated, and all the defen-
dants have shut up their houses.
Mr. Selfe—l am very glad to hear it. My learned col-
league, Mr. Yardley, who has been presiding in this court
daily for the last three weeks, says he has had fewer night
eliarges from the H division since the prosecution of these
most infamous brothel-keepers. I hope the East Londoa
Association will pet severe, and not allow the nuisance to be
transferred to other places.
After some conversation between Mr. Mitchell and Mr.
Sydney as to the amount of bail,
Mr. Selfe said the order of the quarter sessions was that
Sheedy should find bail—himself in £BO, and two sureties of
£4O each. Ile must act on the order of the quarter sessions-
Gem ge Hoey, grocer, of 20, Wapping-street, St. George-
in-the-East, and Thos. Phelps, butcher, 10, Anchor and
Hope-alley, Wapping, then tendered themselves as bail for
Morris Sheedy, of 12, Dock-street, Whitechapel, and were
accepted.
