POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 4.

MANSION-HOUSE.—James Toye, Wm. Sodo,
James Beaumont, Alfred Newbury, and Emma
Richards, underwent a final examination before the
Lord Mayor upon the charge of having received a
large number of squares of silk, part of a quantity
of the value of £l,lOO, which had been stolen from
the premises of Messrs. Vavasseur, Taylor, and
Co., silk manufacturers, 47, Cannon-street-west, on
the night of the 7th of January last.
A previous conviction was proved against Beau-
mont, who in 1854 was tried in the name of Pearce
and sentenced to twelVe months' imprisonment for
picking a lady's pocket of a purse containing £3
17s. Evidence was also given showing that Sodo,
Beaumont, Newbury, and Richards had been in
frequent communication with each other about the
time of their apprehension.
The prisoners, who declined making any defence,
were committed for trial, the Lord Mayor refusing
to take bail for their appearance.

GUILDHALL.—Mr. Henry Potter, Mr. Samuel
Long, and Mr. W. A. Lamprell, three of the
guardians of the West London Union, were sum-
moned for refusing to pay to their treasurer the
sum of £4 95., as certified by the auditor to be due
from them in respect of an illegal payment, which
appeared by the general ledger to have been made
by them out of the moneys applicable to the relief
of the poor, against the statute, &c.
A long inquiry took place, but, nothing decisive
having been elicited, the summonses were ad-
journed.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Herbert Taylor, a man
about 27 or 28, and wearinc, the uniform of the 43d
Foot, was charged with the''followin g brutal assault
and robbery.
Mrs. Mary Stephenson, the wife of a watch-
,maker and jeweller in the Bethnal-green-road,
stated, that while she and her husband were in
their shop at half-past nine on the preceding night
the prisoner entered and inquired the price of a
silver watch which was exposed for sale in the
window. He was told £2, and left, but returned
directly after and asked to be allowed to look at it.

Her husband took the precaution of closing the
door before handing him the watch, which the pri-
soner examined, and, after observing that it would
take him as many days to earn as many shillings
as there were in £2, offered 355. and 375. for it in
succession, but uselessly, and asked her to inter-
pose with her husband to induce him to accept the
latter sum. She declined to do so, and the prisoner,
suddenly exclaiming, "Then, take that," immedi-
ately struck her husband such a heavy blow upon
the crown of his head with the butt end of a thick
stick, loaded with lead and secured with cord like a

life preserver, that the object of his brutality sank
to the ground perfectly senseless, with the blood
flowing profusely from the wound, and was now
confined to his bed. She screamed in terror for
assistance, and the prisoner, wrenching open the
door, darted rapidly into the street.
Henry Osborne, a slightly-built young fellow
of 20, and not much more than half the prisoner's
size and weight, said he happened to be passing the
house at the moment this attack was made, and,
chancing to look in at the window to see
what time it was, san the prisoner suddenly raise
his arm and deal Mr. Stephenson a terrible blow
on the head. Notwithstanding their disparity,.he
spranc, upon the prisoner the instant he ran out of
the shop,. and, throwing his arms round his waist,
twisted his legs round the prisoner's, so that they
both fell together; but he still kept his hold of him,
shouting for help, and picked up the watch he now
produced on the exact spot where they had fallen.
The constable who took him stated that the pri-
soner had no money at`' all upon him when he was
handed to him, and the inspector on duty said he
found by the Police Gazette that the prisoner was
a deserter from his regiment, which was now sta-
tioned at Chatham.
Mr. D'Eyncourt complimented the witness Os-
borne as a fine spirited young fellow; and the pri-
soner, who had no defence to offer, was remanded.

SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Brocksopp, a middle.
aged man, was charged with intermarrying with
Sarah Sherwood, his former wife being then and
now living.
Sarah Sherwood, a respectable-looking young
woman, said that about 12 months ago she became
acquainted with the prisoner, who introduced him-
self to her as a single man in a prosperous condition
of life. On the 29th August last they were mar-
ried at St. John's Church, Waterloo-road. After
