POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE WAY EMPLOYERS ARE ROBBED.—Charles Dan a
young man in the employ of Mr. John Augustus Jones,
butcher, 194, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Tyrribi"
with stealing a quantity of meat, the property of his em'
ployer ; and Joseph Wilson, a butcher, and Edward Ed-
wards, a baker, were charged with receiving the same with
a guilty knowledge.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, AP'
peared for Wilson.

Police-constable Chas. Butcher, 137 0, said—Last nigh!
about 8 o'clock I was in Piccadilly opposite the shop of
Mr. Jones, butcher, when 1 saw Edwards walking up and
down and past the shop several times. He went up to O.
shop door, when Day, who is in Mr. Jones's employ, came
to tho door and opened it. They spoke for about a minute
and Edwards left, and Day went in and shut the door'
Edwards then wont to a public-house about four or five

doors off, and then came out and went to 31r. Jones's shop
again, when Day, who had a large bundle with him, opened
the shop door, and handled the bundle, which I observed
contained a leg of mutton, to Edwards, who walked awaY
and wont to No. 37, Rupert-street, where Wilson lives on
the second floor. I stood on the opposite side of Rupert-
street, and could see from the peculiar construction of the
house Edwards and Wilson in conversation together
Shortly after Edwards and Wilson and a female came out
of the house, and went along Piccadilly till they came to
the White Bear, about 200 yards from Mr. Jones's she"),
where Wilson and the female waited while Edwards
walked on to Mr. Jones's shop, and having put his hand
on the door it was opened by Day, who gave Edwards a
bundle and then closed the door again. I followed Ed-
wards and saw him join Wilson and the female, and then
all of them walked away till they got to Windmill-street,
where Edwards handed Wilson the bundle. After gong;
into a public-house and remaining there a short time, they
all went to No. 37, Rupert-street, Wilson carrying the
bundle. I got the assistance of a constable in uni-
form, and went up into the room, where • I ow'
Wilson and Edwards and two or three other persons'
I told Edwards and Wilson that I was a police-officer, and
was going to take them into custody for receiving melt,
knowing it to be stolen from Mr. Jones in Piccadillf.
Wilson said ho knew •nothing about it, and Edwards re-
mained silent. I found in the room a leg of mutton hang-
ing on the wall, and another tied up in a handkerchief on
a chair. Wilson said it was his room, and ho lived there
with his family. 1 asked Wilson if he had any more most
in the place, and he said ho had not. I found in a our
board a piece of salt beef, a piece of fresh beef, and some
mutton, in all about 401bs. Wilson said he know nothing
about the meat, and that it had been brought there by 6,
person. I took Wilson and Edwards to the station and
then went to Mr. J 01198.8. Day was out, but on his corn"
ing in at 11 o'clock I told him tho charge against him, and
he said he had taken meat once, and that he knew Nilson
and Edwards were in custody, because when ho was ont
ho saw them going to the station. He also said that he had
3s. each for the legs of mutton from the person he solu,,
them to, and whom ho had become acquainted with hi
seeing him take bread to a family he (Day) also took
meat to.

Mr. Jones—Day is in my employ, and has been since
September last. I believe the legs of rauttipn to be 01
property. Last week I missed three, but being a 181.ge
stock I cannot say that I missed the two legs in question.
In reply to Mr. Lewis, Butcher said I have known 'MI;
son, who is a baker, some time, but know no Laren (4
him.

Mr. Lowii having addressed the magistrate in behalf of
Wilson,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said—lt is a case I must send for trial,
but I will take bail for Wilson. lam afraid it will tutu
out that the young man, Day, has been led away by tile
other and older prisoners to take his master's property.
Committed for trial.
