POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Feb. 21.

GUILDHALL.—Maria Bell, a woman about 40
years of age, with twin babies in her arms, was
charged with stealing three coats and various other
articles of wearing apparel, value £lO, at 14, Broad-
street-buildings.
Emily Emden, servant to Mr. Murcot, a printer,
said she went up to a bedroom on the third floor in
the middle of the day and saw the prisoner crawl-
ing under the bed, and on the second floor landing
she found a bundle containing three coats, five
waistcoats, four pairs of trousers, two pairs of
drawers, two flannel shirts, one shawl, and one
scarf, belonging to Mr. Claudius Jose Cox.
The officer said he found under the bed on the
third floor, where the prisoner was seen, a parcel
containing about 30 different keys, and one of which
opened the door of the room on the second floor
from which the property produced was stolen.
Sir F. G. Moon asked what the prisoner's hus-
band was ?
The officer said the prisoner was not a married
woman. She gave a correct address, and she was
living in a very low neighbourhood.
Mr. Cox identified the goods produced as his pro-

perty.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.—George Kemp was brought
up on remand charged, under the Fraudulent
Trustees Act, with having unlawfully appropriated
to himself £l2l intrusted to him for the purchase
of a rick of hay.
The prisoner was committed for trial, with liberty
to put in good bail for his being forthcoming at the
sessions.

WORSHIP-STREET.--George Melaney and
Henry Weston were charged with breaking and
entering a dwellinghouse.
Mr. Solomon Deacon is the owner of numerous
houses in the New North-road, and also of one in
Newton-street, leading out of the road. This house
had been recently vacated, and Mr. Deacon there-
fore availed himself of the opportunity to put it into
a thorough state of repair. The house contained a
large quantity of leadwork and other utensils, all
very valuable to the owner, and Mr. Deacon went
over it after the workmen had left, to see that his
property was safe, and, having satisfied himself in I
this respect, he was closing the street door after
him, when two constables gave him "the pleasing
intelligence," as he called it, that his house would
be broken into in the course of a few hours, and
that he had better therefore admit them into it, to
secure the thieves. This he did, and left, and
while Smith. 99 N, ensconced himself in the par-
lour, Leveridge, 84 N, placed himself in the kitchen,
so as to be ready at both places of ingress. There
was a crack in the parlour shutters, and through
this, by means of a gaslight opposite, Smith shortly
after saw both prisoners walk past the house, re-
turn, and examine it, and then Melaney lifted
Weston over the railings and dropped him into the
area, into which he flung a large black bag, which
Weston placed on the window-sill, and then, after
bumping against and trying to force the kitchen
door, but uselessly, he cautiously shot back the hasp
of the kitchen window with a knife, got into the
room, and, to prevent the open window being notice
by the passers-by, carefully closed it after him. The
rest of the affair was soon over, for the moment
Weston found himself confronted with Leveridge
he rushed upstairs, but only to fall into the hands
of Smith, and though the pursuit after Melaney,
who heard the noise inside and -took to his heels/
