POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER.--.Three young
men who, it appears, are brothers, named Thomas, James,
and William Berryman, were yesterday charged, before
Mr. HALLS, by Ellis and Ledbetter, the officers, with
having feloniously entered the dwelling-house of Mr. John
Hancox, a farmer, residing in the parish of Bisley, in
Gloucestershire, on the 2d of November last, and with
having attempted the life of Mr. H. Hancox, son of the
prosecutor, by firing a loaded pistol at him.
At eight o'clock on the night in question, Mr. Henry
Hancox left the dwelling-house, and went across the farm-
yard toward a shed which stood a short way from the
house. He perceived standing at the door of the shed
the figure of a man, and called him, demanding his busi-
ness there. At that moment two other men made their
appearance, upon seeing whom Mr. Hancock ran across
the yard towards the house, the dcor of which stood ajar.
He rushed in, followed by the three men, and ran across
the room for the purpose of seizing his gun, which stood
at the end of the dresser. He was just in the act of rais-
ing it, when the taller of the three men fired a pistol at
him loaded with large shot, the contents of which lodged
in his face. He fell backwards into the arms of his fa-
ther, who, at that moment, entered the room. The rob •
hers then demanded Mr. Hancox, sen.'s money, and he
gave them about 701. in gold and notes, begging of them
to spare the lives of himself and family. They insisted
upon having more money, and on being told that there
was no more in the house, they proceeded to rifle the
drawers, cupboards, &c., and took possession of nine silver
spoons, seven silver ladles, and other property. They
the❑ went up stairs to one of the bed-rooms, and a little
girl, daughter of Mr. Hancox, who had concealed herself
in the yard on the first alarm, perceiving a light in the
bed-room window, threw some gravel at it suppos-
ing that some of the family were in the room. The
thieves, alarmed at the noise, ran down stairs and imme-
diately left the house with their booty. Their faces were
partly blackened, but their height and appearance were
described by a younger son of Mr. Hancox, a boy about 15
years of age, who had armed himself with a gun, which
the fellows took from him. While the robbers continued
in the house, Mr. Henry Hancox remained weltering in
his blood on the floor, and upon examining his face, it was
found that the shot had totally blinded him ! His face
also was dreadfully lacerated, and fur some time his life
was despaired of. From some circumstances which trans-
pired suspicion attached to the three prisoners, who are
natives of the place. It was known that they were in Lon-
don, and the task of tracing them to their residence, and
finally apprehending them, was intrusted to Ellis, one of
the principal officers of this establishment, who, for the
last three weeks, has been unremitting in his exertions,
both by day and night, to discover the prisoners, and take
them into custody. He at length succeeded in obtaining
a clue to their residence, and, after adopting a variety of
stratagems, and disguising himself in various ways (for

the prisoners appeared to be aware that they were watched),
Ellis, Ledbetter, and an officer named West, who is at-
tached to the police at Gloucester, succeeded, yesterday
morning, in tracing the three prisoners to the house of
their brother-in-law, situate in Goawell-street, where they
were taken into custody, and conveyed handcuffed to this
wffi ce.

The prisoners, on being placed at the bar, were charged
eenerally with the burglary and attempt at murder, and
the youngest son of Mr. Hancox was brought forward for
the purpose of identifying them.
Tne lad, having looked attentively at the prisoners, who
were ordered to put on their hats, said that, to the best of
his belief, the prisoners Thomas and James were two of
the men who bad entered the house of his father on the
night in question. He knew the prisoner Thomas by his
high cheek bone, but they were both differently dressed
then. They wore long dark coats. (The prisoners had
on light drab outside coats.)
Mr. HALLS desired the witness to say why In suspected
WilliAm Berryman, the taller of the prisoners.
Witness—Because he is so like the man who fired the
pistol at my brother. The witness could not identify
the third prisoner.
The prisoners, upon this evidence, were ordered to be
taken dow❑ to Gloucestershire.

Mr. Henry Hancox lies in a very precarious state, and
the loss of his sight must ensue should he eventually re-
cover.

MANSION-HOUSE.
The Treasurer of Bridewell waited upon the LOAD
MAYOR yesterday, for the purpose of representing to his
Lordship the evil consequences which might result from
the practice amongst the City Magistrates of committing
offenders to that prison. Bridewell, he said, was at the
present so much crowded that it was quite impossible to
act upon the system of cla..ification so necessary to he oh-
.erved with the view of reforming unfortunate culprits.
Neither health nor morals were to be improved by asso-
riating six or seven prisoners together in the same room,
an expedient to which the superintendents were obliged
to resort.

The LORD MAYOR would not give a straw for the au-
thority of the City Magistrates if they had not the power
of committing culprits to Bridewell, the only prison in
which the penalty of hard labour could be properly inflicted.
How many persons are now confined in Bridewell ?
The Treasurer—One hundred and twenty. Suppose your
Lordship should go on committing until we have 500 pri-
soners, what are we to do? We are apprehensive of
cholera. and must entreat the aid of the City Magistrates
to prevent the spreading of such a disease.
The LORD MAYOR—What are your funds—your annual
receipts from your estates ? The Treasurer—l cannot
answer that question.
The Loan MAYOR said it was the duty of the Gover-
nor of Bi idewell to provide room for additional prisoners.
The Treasurer could, if he pleased, apply to the Court of
Aldermen on the subject, and represent to them the objec-
tions he entertained to their practice of committing pri-
soners to a prison which could so well afford to accomeio-
date mul• itudes.

The Treasurer told his Lordship that, relying upon the
e( -)peration of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, he should
apply on the next Court day.

Q UEEN- S Q UARE.
A number of men who had enlisted in the service of
Don Pedro, and were re-landed at Portsmouth last week
in a destitute state, from the Swallow brig, after an in-
fl.ctual attempt to land in Oporto (as already described)►
applied to the Magistrates at this Office yesterday for re—
lief. They hail been assisted, they said, by the parish
officers at Portsmouth, and at the various towns they
passed through on their walk back to London ; but they
were now utterly destitute, for though they had received
no pay since the 3d of Novemtier, and were now in a
stai ving condition, the agents of Don Pedro in London
refu ed to do anything for them. They bad memorislised
Lord Melbourne on the subject, and his Lordship referred
them to this office.

Mr. WHITE, the sitting DlagiStrate, told them, if they
were destitute and wanted relief they should apply to the
I,aris'i officers of those districts in which they resided.
The men replied that they had already done so, and the
parish officers, like the agents of Don Pedro, would do
nothing for them.
Mr. WHITE said it was very probable that the pariah
Aura had acted perfectly right. He cuuld render thew
❑o assistance.
