POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a respectably-dressed lad, named Charles
Dundas Baguet, was charged with obtaining 20s. from Mr.
Roberts, the celebrated scene-painter, under false pretences.
The prisoner was the step-son of Mr. Joel Littlewood,
the late landlord of the Cart and Horses, in Upper St.
Martins'-lane, known as " The Widow's," a house some-
what celebrated as the occasional resort of artists and lite-
rary men. Some months ago Mr. Littlewood became em-
barrassed in circumstances, and retired from the house. On
the 14th of November the prisoner called upon Mr. Ro-
berts, and produced a petition, which purported to come
from his father-in-law, setting forth that he had incurred
debts, and that he could be relieved from his embarrass-
ments if a sufficient sum could be raised to pay ss. in the
pound, which his creditors had consented to receive.
The petition had the signatures of several Gentlemen
known to Mr. Roberts, purporting to have subscribed 10s.,
each, and Mr. Roberts gave the prisoner that sum. On
the 19th of December the prisoner called on him again with
a letter purporting to be written by his mother, and stating
thather husband had died suddenly ; that she was anxious
to get to her friends at Manchester ; that she had already
raised.3l. 10s., and that 10s. more would effect her object.
Mr. Roberts gave the required sum, but asked the prisoner
some questions, to which he answered that his father
in-law had retired to Ealing for some time, and had been
some time subject to fits. In a case of debt, which be
thought had been satisfactorily settled, a fresh writ had
been issued against him, which so preyed upon his mind that
he was seized with apoplexy and died suddenly. Mr. Ro-
berts a day or two after this met a friend in the street, and
said he was sorry to hear of Mr. Littlewood's death. The
Gentleman to whom he addressed himself expressed great
surprise, and said he had met Mr. Littlewood only the day
before " alive and .hearty." This turned out to be the
fact, and Mr. Roberts caused the prisoner to be taken
into custody.
Mr. Littlewood himself came forward to negative the al-
legations contained in the petition and letter given by the
prisoner to Mr. Roberts.
The prisoner, who it seems had been much addicted to
private theatricals, was sentenced to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction,
under the Police Act, for levying contributions by false
pretences.
James Love, a letter-carrier, was charged with stealing a
letter containing a sovereign, in the General Post-Office.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this charge,
but ordered to be brought up again in a week, as it was ex-
pected other charges would be brought against him.
