POLICE INTELLIGENCE

MANSION-HOUSE.
Benjamin Isaacs, Jacob Moses, and John Gordon, were
brought before the LORD MAYOR yesterday;charged upon
suspicion of having robbed Abraham Simmonds, the owner
of the Cutlers' Arms public-house, in Cutler-street,
Houndsditch, of 430/. in bank-notes and cash, and a large

quantity of valuable jewels.
Mr. Simmonds stated, that between 12 and 3 o'clock on
the precedinc, day, his bed room door was opened with a
key, entered by thieves, and plundered of the above men-
tioned property. About two months ago, the prisoner
Isaacs asked him for the loan of a pair of trousers, and
afterwards for the loan of a ring, and when witness lent
those articles, Isaacs must have seen that he had a consi-
derable stock of valuable property. On Thursday, when
the servant girl went up to make the beds, Isaacs followed
her up stairs, and went into the club-room, and Moses, who
was near the bar, began to play with witness's child, no
doubt to occupy the attention of those who were to be plun-
pered. There were two other persons about the place at
the time. After the robbery was committed, neither Isaacs
nor 11loses was to be found, although messengers were sent

after them.
Jane Combe stated that she went up stairs at 12 o'clock
to make the bed in her master's room, and she looked in at
the bed-room afterwards at about 1 o'clock, and found all
right, and locked the door. After she came down stairs,
Isaacs walked into the kitchen, and was more than usually
inquisitive. He particularly asked her • whether she was
going to cook the steaks, and how long she should be cook-
ing. About 2 o'clock, when she had cooked the dinner,
she saw Isaacs still sitting in the tap-room, where he had
been for some time.
Mrs. Simmonds, the wife of the complainant, stated that
upon going up stairs after 2 o'clock to lie down on the
bed, on account of illness, she, to her surprise, found the
door of her bed-room open, and on entering the room she
at once perceived that her drawers had been broken open
and plundered of all the property. She was greatly terri-
fied, and upon going down stairs she fainted, and she be
lieved that if she had looked under the bed she would have
seen one of the thieves.
Isaacs asked Mrs. Simmonds whether there had not been
coachmen about the house in the course of the day ?j
Mrs. Simmonds admitted that there were, but said she
was convinced they knew nothing of the robbery.
Isaacs.—l never knew any thing about the robbery.

am an old customer, and there was plenty of people abou.
the house at the time.
Mrs. Simmonds—We missed Isaacs and Moses the
moment we missed the property, and then sent the police
to look for them. We have since learned that Isaacs had
been in trouble about a coat, and they had both expressed
themselves desirous rather of being transported than of
being without mor cy. We have no reason to suspect
Gordon, but he was taken into custody because he had been
about the house in the course of the day, and had formerly
lived with us.
The LORD M Avoa deplored the loss of so much pro-
perty, but said he wondered bow any one could suppose
that such money and goods could be safe in Cutler-street,
which was infested with thieves,
Gordon was discharged, and Isaacs and Moses were re-
manded.
A well-dressed and genteel-looking Spaniard, named Fre-
deric Ruviales, was brought up, charged with having stolen
a gentleman's cloak at the Four Swans Inn, in Bishopsgate-
street.
The prisoner, it appeared from the evidence, walked into
the coffee-room of the inn, and called for a glass of wine,
for which he immediately paid. One of the waiters ob-
served him holding the newspaper in his hands, but occa-
sionally peeping over it. At last he slipped up-stairs, and
soon returned with a cloak, with which he departed. A
porter who followed him saw him turn his head frequently
as if afraid of a pursuit, and when he saw that a man was at
his heels, he turned short into the Marlborough-head pub-
lic-house, where he flung the cloak into a dark room, and
ran up stairs. The people of the house called out to him,
that there was no accommodation up stairs, and upon re-
turning, he was taken into custody. He pretended that
he knew not a word of English, but the waiter who served
him with the wine said that lie spoke the language perfectly.
Upon his person there were found a purse, containing
two sovereigns, and a letter from a Spanish Princess. He
I told the Lord Mayor that he was wholly unacquainted with
• any of the circumstances which had been stated.
• The Loan MAYOR remanded him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Yesterday a young female of genteel appearance, and
very respectably attired, who gave her name Jane Silver-
thorn, was brought. before Mr. DYER, and charged with
stealing a net cape from one of the stalls in the Soho
Bazaar.
The prisoner, when placed at the bar, cried bitterly, and
appeared deeply affected at her situation.
Jane Hook, a person who keeps a stall in the Bazaar,
stated that the prisoner came to her, and expressed her
wish to purchase a lady's cape. Accordingly several were
shown to her, which she looked at, but ultimately declined
purchasing any, and went away to another part of the
Bazaar. Immediately she was gone, one of the capes,
valued at half-a-guinea, was missed, and the prisoner was
suspected ; and one of the inspecters of the Bazaar was
sent in search of her, and she was discovered in another
part, and on being taxed with havinc, committed the rob-
bery, she denied it ; but on being taken back to the stall
and searched, the cape was found concealed under her
shawl.
The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say in an-
swer to-the charge, declared that she picked up the cape in
the Bazaar.
The witness said that this was impossible, for she recog-
nized the cape as one of those which she had shown the
prisoner, and which she missed immediately after she left
the stall.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

MAR YLEB ONE.
Yesterday a dwarfish costermonger, named Joe Rey-
nolds, with a particularly dirty face, and a nose of consider-
able longitudinal dimensions, appeared before Messrs. Hos-
Knis and SHUTT, upon a warrant, to answer the complaint
of a strapping, red-checked woman, one Betty Marshall,
who, to use her own words, was shamefully and howda-
ciously insaulted by him on Wednesday last, under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
It appeared from the evidence that, on the evening in
question, the fair complainant happened to steer into the
neighbourhood of Paddington, and being somewhat thirsty
called in at the King's Arms, where she entered the tap-
room and seated herself by the side of a sheep's trotter wo-
man, who had previously taken her station on a large coal-
box by the fire-place ; a pot of Barclay's best was then
called for, and in due form quickly introduced by a little
carotty-polled waiter, who, pocketing the " needful," made
his bow and retired. In a few minutes after this the de-
fendant came in, followed by a neat little body his wife,
both of whom placed themselves within a short distance of
the complainant, and indulged their fancy by imbibing a
glass each of genuine pineapple rum. While this ceremony
was going on, it so happened that the trotter woman, by a
lapses linguae, threw out an observation derogatory to the
character of the aforesaid Joe Reynolds, the defendant, who
knowing nothing about the propriety of conducting himself
under such circumstances with philosophic calmness, rose
from the form in a most tremendous rage, and, in the vul-
gar tongue, abused the vender of trotters in such a " how-
dacioas manner as never vos," which induced the complain-
ant to jump up like lightning from the above-mentioned
coal-box, in order to remonstrate with the pugnacious Joe ;
but before she had time to give it him well with her tongue,
he raised his fist and struck her on the bridge of the nose,
alleging that the compliment would not have been passed
on her but for her ready interference in a matter with which
she had nothing " votsomdever" to do.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said, ":Please your
vorship, the point o' the thing's this here : Bet Marshall
pitched into my wife for nuffen at all, and so help me tater,
I never had a hangry word not with nobody. I arn't got
no vitnesses here, my lord, except Jack, the pot-boy, and he
can't get out to-day, so I hope as how you'll be able to let
me have justice in his abstence."
The costermonger was then fined 2s. 6d. and costs,
which his better half directly drew forth from an old glove,
and paid to the officer in attendance.

room he saw several persons playing at a game called
" shove-halfpenny" for a pot of beer.
Charles Mumford, an ex-policeman, also a witness to
Byers, corroborated this evidence.

ing, the 7th of January, he went into the house of the de-
fendant with the former witnesses, and on • entering
