POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Tuly 21.

GUILDH ALL. —Ellen Adams was charged with
stealing a purse containing 31., and the halves of a
201. ar.d a 51. note, from the person of Frederick
Pettman, Esq., a county magistrate, residing at
Sandwich, in ent.
Mr. Pettman, an old gentleman, apparently.
about 70 years of age, said he had been a comptrol-
ler of her Majesty's Customs, and was at present
staying at Bailey's Hotel, in Paternoster-row. He
could not say exactly, but he believed it was about
half-past 10 o'clock on Saturday night last that he
mot the prisoner and another woman somewhere in
Fleet-street. He was sober, but he had taken a
little beer. He thought they spoke to him first.
They asked him to treat them, and he gave them
half-a-crown. They then went into a gin palace,
but he would not go in with them. They soon
after returned to him, and the woman not in cus-
tody was rather rude to him. He walked with them
to different parts, but did not know where they
took him. He, however, felt a sudden tug at his
pocket, and found his watch chain was broken, and
immediately discovered he had lost about 281. in
all. His purse contained 31., and 251. in half notes.
The purse was a silk one, and fastened to his chain.
He did not lose his watch. When he found his
purse was gone he went to the police station and
gave information, and upon afterwards going in
search of the two women he found the prisoner,
and gave her into custody. He had not seen the
purse since one o'clock that day.
Police-constable Galvin, 340, said that he took
the prisoner into custody on Ludgate-hill about
one o'clock on Sunday morning, and she was
searched but nothing relating to the charge was
found upon her.
Mr. Pettman said he thought it was the other
woman who took his purse, but the prisoner was
present all the time.
Alderman Philips said the prisoner had given a
correct account of herself, and as no portion of the
property was found upon her she must be dis-
charged. _ _ _

Mr. Pettman said he was very sorry for it.
Alderman Phillips added that he WO3 also very
sorry to find a gentleman of the prosecutor's posi-
tion and years in such an equivocal situation.

MARYLEBONE. —William Vorley, described
as a merchant, residing at 73, Camden-road-villas,
was re-examined on the charge of grossly indecent
conduct. At the former examination (a report of
which appeared in our paper of Thunday last), it
was stated that the prisoner, who had taken a room
at No. 25, Grange-road, had on several occasions
dressed himself up in woman's clahes, and con-
ducted himself in a most indecent manner at the
window. The landlady, a woman 10-ig,ing in
nuil w:tues, swore moss positively
to Giiis statemeut.

Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, now attended for the
prisoner, who was accompanied to the court by
friends of the highest respectability. The learned
counsel said that the room was taken by the ac-
cused, who had, in conjunction with other young
gent'emen, made up their minds to get up a private
theatrical performance, and he was de-irons that
•his father should not know anything about it. The
women, as he understood, were not forthcoming,
and surely his client, who was present, was entitled
to be discharged.
Sergeant Westlake, 2 S, said that he had seen
Mrs. Mayers and Mr.i. Wilson, and they had told
him they did not mean to appear.
Mr. Broughton—l am not surprised at it, from
the violent and unjustifitble attack made upon
them this day week by Mr. Keene. A man of pro-
perty may have it in his power to keep witnesses
away, and I don't consider that I should be justified
in acqoiscing in the counsel's wish.

Mr: Sleigh—They know what characters they
have, sir, and wouldn't like to submit to my cross-
examination. My cli nt is here, sir, with a host of
friends of the highest respectability to testify, if
called upon, as to his character.

Mr. .Broughton remarked that it was not a ques-
tion of character, but one depending upon facts,
with which he had alone to deaf, and he was deter-
mined to sift the matter thoroughly ; it was not to
be pooh poohed out of court owing to the absence
of witnesses. More gras3 abuse than they were
subjected to from the solicitor, for whom generally
speaking he had much respect, he hal not for a long
time heard.

100 S said, that from inquiries which be bad
made, he had reason to believe the woman Wilson
was a common prostitute.
Mr. -Broughton said he should remand the case
to a future day. He could not think of consenting
to the defendant being discharged.
Mr. Sleigh observed that buyoud all doubt the
grossest perjury imaginable bad been committed ;
he said he hoped it would go forth to the woildthat
he (the magistrate) had given no opinion as yet on
the case.

The accused was held to bail in the same sum as
before, viz., 1001. for his re-appearance on next
Wednesday week, Aug. 4.

W ESTMINSTER. —A. gentleman, who gave his
name John Dixon, and his residence Crystal Palace
Hotel, Sydenharn, was charged as follows :
Charles Barnes, 216 V, said that at 4 o'clock that
morning he was on duty in Milman's-row, near
Cremorne, and heard the defendant shouting in a
very loud manner. He requested him to ba quiet
and go away ; his friends also used their utmost
endeavours to pacify him, but as he refused to
deist and was very much the worse for liquor, the
witness was obliged to take him into custody.
Defendant said the statement of the constable we
perfectly true. Ho was very sorly.
Mr. Poynter--What are you?
Defendant-4 do not feel myself called upon to
tell you.
Paynter—Tlvit is certainly not a very polite
reply. I shall detain you, sir, till you please to
answer me.
A cabman here stepped forward and said that he
was in King's-road that morning, when the defen-
dant hired him, and told him to wait, which he did
for over half an-hour. Deft ndant's friends then
tried to get him int ) the cab, but he would not

Papater—Put him back till be is.
In the course of the day the defendant was again
brought up, when
Mr, PaYnter 444--What have you to say to tho

two charges of being drnnk, and refusing to pay
your cab fare ?
Defendant—l told you before. This morning,
about two o'clock, I was drunk, and might hav•
been noisy ; and although I told you that, you sent
me down to a horrid cell.

Mr. P ynter—l did so, because it appeared to
me and others that you were not sober ; and I
therefore could not proceed with the case. What
have you now to say 1
Defendant (pointing to Denis, the gaoler)—Ask
this gentleman. He answers for me. He told you
this morning I wasn't sober.
Mr. Paynter—l wish to know whether you have
anything to say to the charge ?
Defendant—Then I'm not before him ; I'm be-
fore you. I've not heard the charge of the cabman.
I should be glad to hear it.
Mr. Paynter—lt was stated in your presence this
morning.
Defendant—l did not hear it. lam here to be
judged by you, and I should like to see'my accuser
face to face.

The cabman was then called and repeated his
:ormer statement.

Defendant—l am perfectly willing to pay him
his fare.

Mr. Paynter—You're put down on the police-
sheet as a gentleman, and I am informed that you
are a lieut.-colonel in the army ; if the latter, you
ought to be the former.

Defendant—lf it's any satisfaction to you, I may
as well tell you that I am not a lieut.-colonel in the
army, and as regards the other part of the remark,
my conduct is sufficient to prove what I am.
Mr. Paynter then fined defendant 205., and or-
dered him further to pay the cab fare demanded,
Is., with costs for the cabman's attendance and loss
of time, and in default t 9 be imprisoned tea days
for the first, and seven d tys for the second.
