POLICE INTELLIGENCE—May 3.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—THE EXTRAOR-
DINARY AND EXTENSIVE JEWEL ROBBERIES.--JB.B.
Pearce, 23, lapidary, and Emily Lawrence, who had
been cohabiting together as man and wife, at 5,
Albion-grove, Stoke Newington, were charged be-
fore Mr. Beadon, on remand, with stealing, at 5,
Hanover-square, a diamond locket, of the value of
2,000 guineas, the property of Mr. Harry Emma-
nuel, diamond merchant, and on suspicion of steal-
ing four diamond and otherwise jewelled bracelets,
of the value of £OOO, the property of Messrs. Hunt
and Roskell, from their show-rooms in New Bond-
street.

The female prisoner is 21 years of age, rather good
looking, and is enceinte.

Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Mr. Em-
manuel ; and Mr. Humphrey, jun., for Messrs.
Hunt and Roskell.

Mr. Edwin Streeter, manager at Mr. Emmanuel's,
further deposed—The rest of the jewellery was
placed in the strollg room soon after the prisoners
left, and the key given to me, which I deposited in
an iron chest of which I kept the key. The next
morning I gave the key of the strong room to the
witness Parmacott. The male prisoner when he
came wore a pin in his shirt-breast without the
stone, which he spoke of as having lost. I have
since sten the pin, shown to me by an officer.
Mr. John Parmacott—On the morning of the 4th
of January I might have received the key as stated
—it is generally done. On Mr. Young asking for
the diamond locket, search was made, and it was
missed.

Saint, 183 D, had been taking care of the house,
7, Portland-place, for the owner, no such person as
a Mr. Bain living there, nor either of the prisoners
at any time or since January last.
Mr. Beard said, •as there was to be no further
evidence that day, he had an application to make
on behalf the prisoners. The police had taken pos-
session of the residence of his clients, and the fur-
niture, but hoped they would vacate the place, and
that his worship would give an order to that effect,
because the prisoners, being unconvicted, police
possession of the premises was clearly illegal.
Mr. Beaden said, in reply, that the police were
justified in doing as they did. Robberies to an im-
mense amount were charged against the prisoners,
and the police, as in all such eases, had an undoubted
right to take possession of all property found in
their possession until settlement of the cases on trial
or otherwise.

Mr. Beard said there were letters and papers in
his clients' house.

Inspector Whicher said there was nothing of the
sort, and as regarded the property, he held posses-
sion of it ; on the part of the police, on the grounds
that it might prove to be the proceeds, by purchase,
of property which had been plundered.
Mr. Beadon said he should make no order, and
the police had acted discreetly.
The prisoners being known by many aliases, were
again remanded.

MARYLEBONE.— CHARGE OF UTTERLNG A
FORGED £l,OOO NOTE.—A female of short stature,
about 40 years of age, who at the station•house
gave the name of Charlotte Nash, but who has also
described herself as Lady Charlotte Nash, and
Charlotte Hunter Nash, was brought up on remand
(having been apprehended by Inspector Whieher,
detective of the A division); and placed at the bar
before Mr. Hammill, on the charge of uttering a
promissory note of £l,OOO, signed " Samuel Twy-
ford, Trotton-house," and purporting to have been
signed by Mr. Samuel Twyford, late one of the
magistrates of Bow-street Police-court, with intent
to defraud Mr. Horace John Semple, solicitor, of
21, Doke-street, Manchester-square.
Mr. Horace Semple now stated, on being sworn,
that he was requested to make some inquiries about
the promissory note, and that on the 31st of March
last, he called on the prisoner, who was residing at
5, Twyford's-buildings, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Upon
seeing her he observed that he called about the
£l,OOO promissory, note, on which it appearsd that
there was £5OO remaining due. (The note was
produced. The writing on it was as follows :—" I
promise to pay to my own order the sum of £l,OOO
by the following instalments—£soo on the Ist day
of June, 1859, and the remaining £5OO on the let
of June, 1860, value received.--Signed, SAMUEL
TWYFuRD.") He told her that he had applied for
the money due. She said that she could not act
without her husband's consent to the endorsement;
that he was in ill-health, and that she could not
then consult him about it. He then left. On the
Monday following she called upon him (witness).
She said that she had been talking to her husband
about the bill, and that he had consented to endorse
it. He (witness) had not at that time seen the bill,
but only a copy of it. He told her that he should
require to see the bill, and to make some inquiry
about the authenticity of the handwriting. She
observed that she had plenty of letters from Mr.
Twyford, which he could compare with the bill,
and he told her to bring the bill.
Mr. Hammill—Did she leave you any letters ?
Witness—Not at that time. In a day or two she
brought the bill with some letters purporting to be
in the handwriting of Mr. Twyford. The bill had
the signature " Samuel Twyford," and on the back
of it it was receipted with the name of " Charlotte
Hunter." She also brought some letters, purport-
ing to be signed by Mr. Samuel Twyford, and
dated," Brighton, Feb. 10, 1860."
Mr. Hammill—Was there any envelope with
them ?

Witness—She brought them in a blank en-
velope. I cannot swear to her handwriting.
Mr. Minimal—Did she say how she came by the
note ?

Witness—She said that Mr. Twyford and her
mother were related, and that after her mother's
death he made a communication to her that he had
a sum of £l,OOO of her mother's, arising from a
settlement of family matters, and that he gave her
the note in discharge of the £l,OOO, of which she
would have known nothing but through that in-
formation which Mr. Twyford had voluntarily
given her. She left the letters and the bill with
me, and remarked that they knew the handwriting
of Mr. Twyford at Bow-street, and she then said,
" You can go there with them, or to Mr. Inns,
Whitehall, who is his solicitor,"
Mr. Hammill—Did you go to Bow-street ?
Witness—l did, and I saw Mr. Burnaby, to
whom I showed the bill and the letters, when he
observed that they were forgeries.
Mr. Hammill—What have you to say to the
charge?

Prisoner—l did not know that it was a forged
promissory note. I know I have told a great many
lies.

The prisoner was next charged with uttering
two forged promissory notes of X5OO each, and was
remanded.
