POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

MAkLPOPOUGH-STREET.

Yesterday Philip Ball, a yoUng man having the
appearance of a groom, underwent a re-examination,
on a charge of defrauding Mr. Peter Moor Latham,
of Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, of
311. It will he remembered that Mr. Latham sent
to a stable in F4an-street, in the city, where he saw
a home which he agreed to purchase, provided that
he was allowed a trial of it, and that he found it to
justify the representations which had been gh'en of
it by the prisoner. The 311. were left in the pri-
soner's hands as a deposit for the safe return of the
unbind in the event of its not giving satisfaction.
The horse upon trial wag found to be a complete
piece of deception, and was accordingly sent back
to the prisoner, with directions that he should re.
turn the deposit money. The prisoner refused to
give back an portion of the money, declaring that
the horse had been regularly purchased by Mr.
Latham at forty-five guineas.

taken the liberty of addressing you upon the sub

areyou your nrlqieuss et awindlers; but I will relate
afford you any evidence towards the furtherance of
great pleasure.
" ill the beginning of October last, in conse-
quence of an advertisement which I saw in one of
the Daily Papers, I went to a livery-stable in Fan-
s'reet. I saw a groom who said his master's name
was Maltby, and he (the groom) was empowered
to make the best bargain he could with respect to
the sale of horses. I took a written agreement from
this groom, which he signed, and which stated I
waa to have three days' trial of a hor2-e which was
to be returned if not approved of. I left a deposit
of 10/., arid a little mare of my own. On making
trial of the horse I found it was not worth 51., and
I consequently returned it. The groom told me
with much assurance he had not been authorized by
his matter to give trial of the horse, and he there-
fore considered I had purchased it. He moreover
stated he had sent my mare fifty miles into the
country, I immediately sent for Mr. Maltby, who
upon his arrival, eapressed much regret at his
groom's mistake, arid said he was willing to take on
himself the responsibility of his man, and as I did
not ling hit horse, and he had sent mine away, he
would allow me my own price for my mare, and re-
turn trio the deposit. So far CO good. He had not,
hdwerier the money (301.) with him, but said if I
would call upon him on the following day he,.would
give it to me. At first I demurred, but from his
own representations, and those made by Mr. Machin,
proprittor of the stables, I was induced, fool that I
was, to take a bill, Vay able three days after date. I
need not mention that when the bill became due, Mr.
Maltby was not forthcoming: all 1i could learn was,
he had been arrested. On applying to an attorney,
he plainly told me that arty attempt to recover by
:ANN, that which I had lost; would be throwing money
away, as he was acquainted with the characters of
the parties in question. Relying upon this advice I
declined proceeding, and put up with my loss. The
day after I had accepted the bill I saw my own
mare in the stable in Ilan street, although Maltby
told me that lie had sent her into the country. It
was then (as he informed me) sold. I was quite
;;Graded at the time of this transaction by Maltby
telling me that lit this selling off his stud. I have
the bill still by rue, if it would afford any satisfactory
evidence."

The other letter was from a gentleman residing at
Tunbridge Wells, It was to the following effect
" In May last, Maltby and Bull occupied a stable
in Charlotte-mews, Castle-street, and at that time
they had a showy brown horse there; but Mr. C.
(the writer of the letter) being somewhat suspicious
of them, requested a week's ►rial without leaving any
deposit. To this Bull and Maltby consented, but
afterwards said that the horse had fallen down in
the stable and hurt his knee, in consequence of
which it had been sent to the salt marshes. Mr.
C. had a cart-horse and a phaeton to dispose of, and
Maltby with a friend of his went to look at them.
The former agreed to give 501. for the horse and the
phaeton together, leaving it optional with Mr. C. to
take the horse that was at the salt marshes or not.
Maltby sent for the photon : but Mr. C. still
