POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a fellow, in the garb of a gentleman,
who first gave the name of Petlg, and attetwards
changed it to Janzes Williams, but whose real name
s said to he Wright, was placed at the bar before
I,lr. MINSEIULL, charged with having taken indecent
liberties with a young man, named George Cuth-
bert. The .details .of the case are not fit for publi-

cation.
The prisoner said that;he should be enabled to
prove that there was a conspiracy against him, and
he should therefore defer his defence to another op-

portunity.
He was then fully committed for trial, and Mr.
NIINSHULL directed that the witnesses should be

bot►nd over to prosecute, and that they should pro-
ceed immediately to the Westminster Sessions to
prefer a bill of indictment against the prisoner.
A gentleman residing in Clement's-inn, said, that
th.• prisoner had assumed the name of Slr. Jones
W►lliam•, a gentleman of h;gh respectability, who
resided in Clement'.-inn, and %%hose character might

be irjured, if the circumstances were not explAined,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.
Yesterday llfidtael Murphy, the man who stands
charged as the principal of the supp.sed conspira-
tors who were apprehended on Tuesday night last
in Glass-house-ydrd, was set at libel ty upon produ-
Cf bail for his appeaiance fn re on Saturlay next.
Before the close of the office, Mr. Watson, the
b .okseller, itt company with other individuals,
waited upon Mr, Ro, for the purpose of inqui.ing
if a single bail in 40!. wouli not answer as well as
two bails in 201. each as a security for the appear-
ance 01 the pris“ner Sparks at the next. examination.
Mr. ROE could not consent to rake single bail
for any one of the prisoners, and for this reason,—
that two persons must have more influx rice and con-
ironl over the conduct of the party bailed than could
be possessed by any single individual who might

wish to become security.
One of Nlr. Watson's companions here said, with
much warmth, that he considered the derention of
the pri,oriers an outrage upon the liberty of the
subj.-ct.
Mr. ROE was not in the habit of outraging the
liberty of any person, and he would not allow such
an insinuation as that which had just been made to
be repeated.
Previously to the parties quitting the office, Mr.
Osborn, who described himself as the secretary to
the Trades Union, handed to Mr. Roe a small
pamphlet descriptive of " The objects and laws of
the union of the working classes and others."

Mr. Roe politely received the book, but made
no observation upon its contents.
AIARYLEBONE-OFFICE.

On Wednesday William Leversage, alias the
Rev. H. Johnson, a respectable-looking young man,
dressed in a suit of black with an olive great coat
lined with silk, and velvet collar, outside breast-
pocket, about five feet eight in height, dark sallow
complexion, and dark hair, was charged with rob-
bing the house of -Mr. Collard, 32, Great Castle-
street, Regent-street. It apl•eared the
.prisoner
called last Sunday week under pretence of looking
at some part of the house that was to let, but left
without coming to terms. On Monday evening
the prisoner called shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Col-
lard had left home, and told the servant, Sarah
Barton, that he had partly settled with her mistress
when he called before about the apartments, and
that he now called to say he should come to town
for the season on Wednesday, and that he had got a
quantity of luggage which he would send up to
town on the following day, directed to the Rev.
Mr. Johnson, and desired it might be taken care of
till he arrived on Wednesday, against which day all
was to be ready for his reception. He then left,
saying he was going out of town by the coach that
evening. Some time after he returned, and told
the girl, that although he had given the coachman
2s. 6d. to wait for him a short time, he had gone
without him, and put him to great inconvenience,
by compelling him to remain in town all night, but
he supposed it would make no difference if he
took possession of his apartments then. She
said " No," and showed him into the parlour,
while she proceeded to put his room in order. When
she had done so, he said he would go up stairs and
wash his hands. She lit him up stairs, and as she was
about to come down, he desired her to get a mut-
ten chop for his supper immediately. She had not
proceeded far down stairs before she heard him open
her master's bed-room door. She immediately con-
cealed her light, and listened on the stairs till she
heard him come down to the second fluor bed-room,
anti open the drawers there. She then went down
stairs quietly to the street door, and begged of a
neighbour's servant, who happened to be passing,
to fetch her master, Mr Ray, of Castle-street, who
immediately came, as did also a private watchman
in the street, who immediately fetched police con-
stable, E, 117. The prisoner had by this time come
down stairs into the parlour, and was very impa-
tient for the servant to go after his chop,. At this
time Mr. Ray stepped into his room, and stated that
the girl felt uneasy at his taking possession in her
mallet's absence, and wished him to give his card.
This the Rev. Gentleman was very high and indig-
nant about; but the girl stepped boldly forward,
wal charged him with ransacking the drawer+ 11l
rooms where he had no business. The policeman
coming in at ibis moment, the prisoner became con-
fu-e I and his guilt apparent. The policeman and
servant, together with Mr. Ray, proceeded up stairs,
and found all the drawers open in Mr. Coll rd's
room and in the second fhor, from which consider-
able property had been removed, and secreted under
the counterpane of the bed made up for the prisoner.
Toe policeman carne dawn stairs and searched the
prisoner, upon whom a black silk stock was found,
and subsequently a pair of trousers, drawn over his
own, belonging to G. Pilkington, Esq. a gentleman
lodging at Mr. Collard's, with whose wardrobe he
had also made free in other respects. These facts
being clearly proved by the evidenee of G. Piiking-
ton, Esq., Mr. Collard, Sarah Barton, the police-
man, and watchman, the prisoner was corninitted
for trial, but ordered to be brought up on Friday
next, at twelve o'clock, further charges being ex-
pected to be brought against him, there being little
doubt that the prisoner is one of a gang who live
by plunder, obiaoied by contrivances of a similar
nature to that detailed above, and by whom the me-
dical profession have been great sufferers lately.
Mr. HostaNs observed, the girl deserved great
credit fur her conduct throughout, as well as for the
manner in which she gave her evidence.
THAMES POLICE OFFICE.
Yesterday Mary Eyles,
a diminutive young
WOMall in the service of Mr. Appleford, a respec-
table tea-dealer, of No. 19, Jubilee-row, Commer-
cial-road east, was charged with wilfully setting fire
to her master's house and property.
Henry Lee, a police constable of the K division,
No. 262, stated, that on Wednesday evening, about
half-past eight o'clock, he heard the alarm of fire,
and saw a quantity of smoke issuing from the pro-
sectu or's house. On entering it, with some of the
neighbours, he discovered the bed curtains and fur-
niture on fire, in a back room on the first floor. Ile
succeeded, with the assistance of others, in extin-

9:, uishing the flames, but not before the property in 1
he apartment was destroyed. Mrs. Appleford
appeared greatly alarmed, and gave the pii
soner in charge for setting the house on fire.
He found her in the kitchen, and asked her
if she had been in the apartment, to which
she replied that she had been there to close tilt
shutters a few minutes before the fl 'riles were dis-
covered. She appeared quite unconcerned and be-
haved in a very strange manner. She had had
some difference with her mistress a short time since,
in consequence of Mrs. Appleford finding one of hei
-ilk handkerchiefs on her servant's neck. The pr -
scmer had since thrown out some hints about being

revenged.
Mr. Fagan, an inspector of the K &visit n
questioned the prisoner at the station-house, and
she at first declared that she had not been in the
room since four o'clock in the afternoon. She
afterwards said that she had occasion to go into the
room at eight o'clock, and left the candle on the
,tair-case. Subsequently she told him she did not
take a light with her, and that morning she told him
she was mending stockings in the kitchen when the
tire broke out.
BALLANTINE remanded the prisoner.
Q UEEN-SQ UARE.
John the driver of the hackney-coach No.
-207, was summoned by lifers, under the new act,
for grossly abusing him, whereby he had incurred a
penal'y of any sum not exceeding 5/-
It appeared that the defendant had used very insult-
ing language iu Piccadilly to the informer, and called
him various names, which need not be repeated.
By the new hackney-coach act, there is a clause
in the 56th section, which empowers Magistrates to
fine hackney-coachmen who shall use insulting lan-
guage, or be rude, to any person whatsoever. This is
call.-d the compensation clause,and is but little known.
Mr. MARRIOTT, who heard the carne, fined the
defendant in !he mitigated penalty of 10s. and costs.
