POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 9.

GUILD HALL.—Jonathan Mirehouse, a well-
dressed young man, was placed at the bar, before
Alderman Mechi, charged with being found in the
unlawful possession of a gold chronometer, value
481., and a gold guard chain, value 121., which had
been obtained of Mesas. Parkinson and Frodsham,
of Change-alley, Cornhill, by fraudulent means.
It appeared from the evidence that a detective
officer, named Green, having gone to the warehouse
where the accused was employed, after some con-
versation received from him the watch in question,
which was one of several alleged to have been ob-
tained from various jewellers under fradulent pre-
tences, by a man named Rawson, now in Newgate
on the charge. The accused further admitted
that Rawson was his brother, and that he had re
ceived the watch and chain for him to take care of.
After some further evidence,
The prisoner was remanded.

CIDE. —Eliza Lloyd was brought before Mr. Bing--

herself iu the Serpentine.

Geore Clark, Brunswick-street, clerk, sail he
was in Hyde-park on Tuesday about 12 o'clock i❑
the day, when he saw something floating in the
Serpentine. He immediately went into the water,
and ascertaining that it was a woman on the point
of drowning, he, with assistance, got her out, but
not without opposition on her part, and cries of
"Let me die, let me die."

Princes-street.

DANGEROUS CONDITION OF TEE CELL DRAINS.
The business of the court was yesterday for some
time suspended, owing to the dreadful stench aris-
ing from the drains connected with the cells on the
basement. It was neces,ary to throw open all the
windows and doors in order to ventilate the court,
and of course this process could only go on while
public business was suspended. The same thing
has occurred from time to time during the last two
or three years ; and though the dangerous and insuf-
ferable nuisance has been frequently brought under
the notice of the proper au thoritie4, nothing has been
done to remedy it beyond a little useless patchwork
alteration. The drain, itappears, is of brick, and is said
to be below the level of the main sewers, which
prevents the soil from running off. During the
present hot weather, besides the nuisance of the
stink, there is the danger of an infectious disease
manifesting

drawers• He called in the police and kad him se-
cured.
