ROBBERY BY A SERVANT,—A young man em-
ployed as cellarman by Messrs. Harrison and Bon-
ney, wine-merchants, Lower Grove, Brompton, was
brought before Mr. DYER, on suspicion of having,
for a considerable period past, plundered his em-
ployers of wines and spirits to a large extent.—He
was remanded. _ _ _

One of the C. division of police brought before
Mr. CONANT a little boy, whom he had just detected
in the enormity of selling baked potatoes about Ox-
ford-street.
It appears that a very flourishing trade is carried on
in these edibles in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's,
among that class of operatives with whom potatoes
form the " staple" article of food, and consequently
at stated periods of the day a batch of peripatetic
potatoe-merchants go their customary rounds for the
purpose of supplying their hungry customers with
their " piping hot commodity." The policeman on
duty, disapproving of the traffic, determined to make
an example of the first offender he should discover,
and, having spied the prisoner in the very act of
supplying a baked potatoe to a passenger, he made a
pounce, and succeeded in taking the merchant and
his portable potatoe-shop into custody. The po-
liceman stated that the sale of baked potatoes had
latterly become " quite a nuisance," and he dwelt
particularly on the aggravation of the present of-
fender, by the fact of a lady and gentleman having
to make a detour round the boy's basket, as it was
placed in the middle of the street.
Mr. CONANT, who did not appear to agree with

the policeman in considering that any offence of a
very serious nature had been committed, told the
young potatoe-merchant, if he followed his calling
he must not obstruct the footpath.
Boy—l never does. I vos sarving a gemman
vith a hapenny baked tater at the time.
Mr. CONANT-But you had no occasion to place
your basket on the pavement.
Boy—lt is unpossible to help it, 'cause gemmen
as vonts hapenny baked taters vont buy none vith-
out I gies em some butter and bit o' pepper and
salt, to make 'em eat relishing.
After a proper caution, Mr. CONANT ordered the
"tin shop" of the boy to be restored, and then dis-

charged him.
EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.—In the Chronicle of
Monday last appeared, under the head of " Marlbo-
rough-street," an account of an application made by
several tradesmen for a warrant against some fo-
reigners carrying on business in Dean-street, Soho,
as jewellers and importers of French goods, which
could not be granted, as the goods of which the
applicants had been defrauded had been regularly
sold to the parties. A meetng of their creditors, or
rather of their victims, took place on Thursday
evening, when it appeared that the firm had ob-
tained goods on credit to the amount of above

5,000/. The partner who has fled is, it appears, a
Polish Jew, named iliullinol; about 30 years of
age. He and his partners were in business about
two years, and commenced by making their purchases
for cash. In a little time they extended their dealings
and obtained credit, by giving references to the
tradesmen with whom they had previously dealt;
and when they had gained sufficient credit to have
their bills taken, for a time they were duly ho-
noured, which enabled them to obtain credit to so
large an amount. No suspicion was entertained
of their intentions till Saturday week, when some
of the creditors inquiring for Mr. Mullinoff, were
informed by the partner that he was gone to Chel-
tenham for some days. A similar inquiry having
been made of a female who resided in the house,
her answer was, that Mr. Mullinoff left London, by
a steamer, for Rotterdam, on Wednesday; and, on
inquiry at the Alien-office, this was ascertained to
be the fact. One of the creditors received a letter
from him on Tuesday, dated from Rotterdam, in
which he stated that he was to sail for Batavia in a
few days, and if he should succeed in his specula-
tions he would not forget his good friends in Lon-
don. The embargo on vessels bound for Holland
prevented any pursuit of the fugitive. The pro-
perty left behind will not produce a dividend of
more than 6d. in the pound.
THAMES-POLICE.A
BEAUTIFUL COUPLE.—George Iforden,
cockney coal-whipper, of Herculean dimensions,
and standing six feet high, was charged by a puny
►ittle girl, not more than four feet in height, named
Harriet Barber, with being the father of her child,
now chargeable on Ratcliffe parish. Miss Barber
•aid she was 16, and " the vicked man afore their
Wosships had induced her, and taken the disvan-
tage of her."
The defendant strenuously denied this. " Ask
her," said he to Mr. Broderip, " vere I took the
adwantage of her, vich I never did."
Miss Barber answered the question.
The defendant still continued to deny his liability.
" Have you any witnesses ?" said Mr. BRODE-
RIP. " Vy, no," he replied ; "DO von vas ever
vith us."—(Laughter.)
Mr. BRODERIP said, this showed the truth of the
accusation, and ordered him to pay 1/. 6s. expenses,
and 3s. a week for the child.
UNION-HALL.
AN AMOROUS TAILOR.—James Simmons, a tailor,
was charged with having assaulted Miss Curry, a
young lady residing at Brixton Hill. The corn-
plciinant, on Friday evening, was going to the house
of a neighbour, with the hood of her cloak thrown
over her head, when the tailor, who had just popped
out of the " Red Lion," where he had been indulg-
irig in his cups, clasped her round the waist, and
softly swore that he would have a kiss. Miss
Curry endeavoured to get away from his rude em-
brace, but the tailor pulled her head to him with
some violence ; and, pressing his lips to her mouth,
;aid that a kiss he would have, were she a Princess.
A policeman had great difficulty in bearing off the
defendant to the watch-house. He was fined 3/,
and in default of payment, committed for three
months.
