POLICi INTELLIGENCE.—Marc. 31.

BOW-STREET.—Bernard Keen, a young wan
dressed as a co,termonger, was charg-,d wi h rob-
bing the till of a puulic-house in Great Queen-
street.

It appeared that on Tuesday evening Wm. Pur-
doa, the barman, and James Poulter, the porter,
at the Prince of Walls publiehonse in Great gieen-
street, were sitting in the bar parlour, when t!-.ey
observed the prisoner lying across the counter with
his hands in the till. Pou'ter went out into the bar
and charged him with robbing the till. He said he
was only looking into the next box to see if a friend
was there. Prisoner then went out, flllowed by
Purdoe, with whom he returned after a short time.
Purdoe again ebargedlum with stealing some m, ney
from the till, which he again denied. On counting
the money in the till it was found that about ss.
had been abstracted. Finding they were deterinin.-d
to detain him, he begged bard for forgiveness, and
said he would give up what money he had, which
amounted to 9d. This proposal being refused he at-
tempted to get away, and was engaged in a despe-
rate struggle with Purdoe, when a constable arrived
and took him into custody. In the midst of the
struggle he had been observed to thrust something
under the window shutter, and on subsequent
search 9d. was found there. When he VMS searched
at the station 81d. was found in his pockets. -It was
supposed that he had passed the remainder of the
money to a confederate outside the house.
The prisoner said be had only taken the BA-d.
which was found upon him. _ _

.._
Mr. Henry committed him to be tried at the
sessions. _ _

Catherine Lee and Daniel Murphy, two misera-
ble ragged little children of about 12 years of age,
soaked with rain and spattered with mud, were
brought up by policeman A 580, who stated that he
had found them on the doorstep of a house in Carl=
ton-gardens. His attention was called to them by
an inhabitant. They had each a basket of oranges.
Mr. Henry—They were taking shelter from the
rain, I suppose ?
Constable—Yes, sir.

Mr. Henry—Did they refuse to go away
Constable--I did not tell them to go away. I
thought it was my duty to take them.
Mr. Henry—They would hive gone directly if
you had told them. It would not have been much
trouble to you. There, take them home to their
parents, and tell them to take better care of the
poor little things for the future.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—EIIen Mayes, a
respectabie-looking young woman, was charged
with attempting to destroy herself.
Sergeant Hopper, of the 2d Life Guards, said
his attention was attracted by the prisoner walking
seemingly in a very despondent state along the
margin of the Serpentine River. Suspecting her
intention, he kept watch on her far some li tie time.
This was about 10 o'clock at night. Suddenly,
however, he lost sight o her, and raa towards the
spot, when the MOM, emerging from a cloud, ena-
bled him to ctscover some dirk object floating on
the water. As there was no person near, witness,
rightly conjecturing that the object seen in the
river was the woman he hal missed, plunged in
and struck out towards it. He found it was the
accused, and he clutched hold el* her just as she
was sinking, and brought her to the shore. Wit-
ness went on to say that he lost no time in convey-
ing her to the society's receiving house, where the
