POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
WATCH ROBBERY:—James Hawkes, a young man,
was charged by William Love, 295 A, with stealing a
silver watch, of the value of 10/, (maker's name, Beat-
eon, Cornhill), the property of Mr. C. Stockdale, of
1, Woronzow-road, St. John's-wood.
Mr. Stockdale said he was in the Oxford-circus on
the previous night, where there were a number of persons
collected, looking at a man who was on horseback, in
consequence of the horse prancing. He suddenly felt a
sharp tug at his watch, and immediately felt it was gone.
The prisoner, who was the only person near at the time,
then darted off among the crowd, stooping as he did so,
and when he rose a minute afterwarde, he noticed him
as if buttoning his coat. He tkien seized and charged him
with stealing his watch, but be denied having done so.
He, however, felt certain of it, for he bad never lost
sight of him, and it was his belief that when he stooped
he passed it to some one. He set some value on the watch
as it was a relic in his family.
Love said, if the prisoner was remanded he thought
he should be able to find something icoccerning him.
Mr. Lewin, who appeared for the prisoner, contended
it was o►,ly a case of suspicion.
Mr. Bradon thought the fact of his stooping and
dodging in the crowd was not the act of an honest per-
son, and would therefore remand him that inquiries
might be made.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT of A SEALlN.—Barnard
M'Philly, a broad-chested, large-faced old man, with a
bald head and an immense pair of red whiskers, which

disorderly in the Blackwell Railway station.

Railway station, said the prisoner obtained admission to
a private office at the station last night, and broke open
a desk containing some papers, and was found in the act
of tearing up the papers, which, fortunately, were not
of auy value. Upon asking the prisoner what be meant
by such conduct, he made a good deal of noise, and
was very disorderly. The prisoner offered to fight any
one or everybody in the station, and some difficulty was
experienced in removing him. The desk bad been
forcibly broken open.
Mr. Selfe—Was anything stolen
Witre,F—NAhitig, sir; only the papers torn up.
Elie worst part of the case is that the prisoner made use
of the station in a most improper manner, and committed
a great nuisance.

and thought he was in his own berth opening his own
chest.

you 10s. for being drunk in a railway station.
