POLICE INTEL LIG E CE—June 18.

MANSION-HOUSE.—llenry Humphrey was
brought before Alderman Hale charged with having
stolen a pocket-handkerchief.
Mr. Watson, of Thavies-Inn, said—" Half an
hour ago, in Cannon-street Wewt, I fk-lt a tug at my
pocket, and found that my handkerchief was gone.
The prisoner was running away, and when he saw
me following him, he threw away my handkerchief,
and was then seized by a policeman.
Alderman Hate (to the prisoner)—Have you any-
thing to say ?
Prisoner—Not a word.
Alderman Hale—ls he known here ?

The gaoler—Not by any one.
Committed for six weeks to the House of Cor-
rection.

GUILDHALL.—CharIes Harrison, a foreman
in the employment of Messrs. Cooper, wholesale
grocers, of Monument-yard, was placed at the bar,
before Alderman Hale, for further examination re-
lative to the charge of robbing his employers.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Wontner for the defence.
From the evidence taken on the former examina-
tions it appeared that the prisoner had been a fore-
man in Messrs. Cooper's establishment during the
last six years, and that in such capacity it was a parr
of his duty to draw orders upon the sugar refiners
for the delivery of loaf sugar, it being customary
with Messrs. Cooper to purchase large quantities of
refined sugar, to be cleared within stated periods,
and they were in the habit of removing it in such
quantities as were required from time to tame. The
prisoner had taken advantage of the authoaity
placed in his hands, and had issued orders upon
the refiners for large quantities of loaf sugar, and it
was alleged that the sugar so obtained was sold to
different parties by the prisoner, on his own ac-
count, but in his employers' name, none of such
transactions being entered in the prosecutors'
books. In one instance Mr. John Anstey, a grocer,
of High-street, Hoxton, produced about 30 invoices
of goods purchased of the prisoner, amounting to
about 1801., and which Anstey believed he was
buying of Messrs. Cooper.
The following was the evidence taken yesterday :
Peter Mossop said—l am clerk to Messrs. Elers
and Morgan, sugar refiners, of Lambeth-street,
Goodman's-fields. On the 22d of May I received
the order produced for 30 titlers of sugar. It was
signed "C. Harrison, for Thomas Cooper and C 0.,"
and directed that the goods should be delivered to
Johnson's care. Johnson's carman brought me the
order, and I wrote upon it requesting instr uc ions
about the packing of the sugar, and shortly after-
wards the carman returned with tb.e prisolier, who
told me to deliver the sugar in white paper, and I
did so. The weight of the 40 titlers was 11 cwt.
23 lbs.

Cross-examined—Messrs. Elers and Morgan sold
this sugar to Messrs. Cooper, and was part of a lot
of 803 titlers which Messrs. Cooper purchased en
the 19th of May, to be cleared in two months.
Robert Stewart, carman to Mr. Johnson, said—
I went to Messrs. Elers and Morgan on the 22d of
May last for 40 titlers of sugar, and the prisoner
went with me and told me I was to take in 40
titlers, and he remained with me until they were
all put into the cart. He told me to take them
Mr. Durant's, in Lillypot-lane, and I accordingly
delivered them there to a porter of the name of
Blatch. On the 26th of May I went toYr. Dur-
ant's for 35 tillers and a hag, which Blat brought
out to my cart, and I took them to Chamberlain's
wharf, accompanied by Blatch.
Henry Frederick Blatch said—l am in the
vice of Messrs. Durant, of Lilypot-lane. The
firm consists of Roger Durant and Ryder Durant.
They are wholesale gr,:cars ai,d dealers in spices.
I was present on the 22nd of May, when the last
witness brought 40 titlers, and I delivered them to
Ryder Durant, who stacked them in the ware-

house. I assisted. They were an in white paper'
S me were put in on' s'ack and s ime with othe
sugar. There were from 20 to 25 titters in a s ack.
I went with the last witness to Chamberlain's
wharf with 35 titlers, and their were nixed with
others ; but I cannot say if the 35 taken to Cham-
herl sin's wharf include the stack of 20 Or 25 ; but
I believe part of them were part of those taken
to Chamberlain's wharf. I put blue paper round
them by the direction of Mr. Ryder Durant, but
Mr. Roger Durant was not then present. 1 took
a bag with the titlers, and an address card directed
"From Roger Durant and. Co., 5, Lilypot-lane,
General Post-office, London.--R. Atwill, 95,
Lower Union-street, Torquay." Mr. Roger Du-
rant wrote the did and receiving note produced.
The memorandum containing the following entries
is in my handwriting : "June 2. To the superin-
tendent, Chamberlain's wharf. Please ship on
board the --, for Torquay, the undermentioned
goods, viz. : 35 titlers, 1 bag sundries, 1 bag cur-
rants, and 1 parcel tea—for R. Atwill, 95, Lower
Union-street, Torquay. From R. Durant and
Co., 5, Lilypot-lane, Noble-street, City." Since
the 1 tat examination I have ascertained that Mr.
Ryder Durant is not one of the firm. He is only
a servant the same as myself, and is paid weekly.

Alderman Hale—Who then is the Co ?

Witness—l do not know. Mr. Ryder Durant
told me that he was not one of the firm. I have
not heard so from any one else.
Mr. Humphreys—How is it that the name of
Mr. Mitchell, Lilypot-lane, appears in print on the
back of the receiving note ?
Mr. Wontner objected to the question as irre-
gular, as it did not refer either to the prisoner at
the 13 tr or anything written by the witness. It
merely related to pometkng done by a thi, d party
after the goods had left the prisoner's possession.
Alderman Hale thought the answer might be
material.

Witness—The name of Michell was over the
window when I first went into Durant's service ;
but I have never seen Mr. Mitchell, neither do I
know long his name remained up. I know a per-
son who acted on the premises, and used the name
of Mitchell. Mr. Ryder Durant was there when
first went, and he took possession of and opened all
letters addressed to Mitchell. I read some of their,
and I have taken orders in Mitchell's name to
Messrs. Coopers for goods. Mr. Ryder Durant
attended to the business referred to in those letters.
The orders I took to Messrs. Coopers I received
from Mr. Ryder Durant.
Mr. Wontner objected to this mode of examina-
tion, as it was quite irrelevant to the charge against
Harrison.
Alderman Hale—Jf other parties are concerned
with Harrison in this extensive robbery, it would
ultimately be seen bow the evidence affected kim.
Mr. Humphreys said Mr. Cooper had given him
such information and instructions that he now felt
justified in giving Mr. Ryder Durant and Mr.
Roger Durant into custody for receiving this pro-
perty, knowing it to have been stolen.
The two Durants were then placed in the felon's
dock, and the examination proceeded.
Peter Mossop, remlled, said—l have been to
Chamberlain's wharf, and seen the titters. Some had
my own private marks on the white papers they were
packed iu, and others had none. I unpacked those in
white papers,
_which I examined, and then I found
that the marks indicating the quality of the sugar
had been rubbed off the bottom of each titter.

Mr. Humphreys, at this stage of the proceedings,
said he thought he had stated sufficient to ask for a
further remand to enable him to complete the case.
A" solicitor, on the part of the two Durants, aP"
plied that all letters, papers, and keys found upon
them might be given up to them.
Alderman Hale said that it was rather an tur
usual application, as it might tend to frustrate the
ends of justice. However, the officers would
examine those papers, and if there was nothing in
them relating to the present charge; the application
might be renewed on a future day.
The prisoners were all remanded to Newgato.

MARYLEBONE.—Wm. Drage, coachman Ac' -
Lady List owel, was charged with assaulting WO.
Eastwood, a cab driver.
The prisoner was riding on horseback along the
Edgware-road, and the complainant in driving his
cab past him, touched the prisoner's horse. The
prisoner followed him, and gave him a; violent bl°
on the head with the butt end of his w'hip, render-
ing him insensible for some minutes.
The prisoner said he did not mean to hurt the
complainant.
Held to bail, himself in 501., and two sureties of
401. each, to appear on Wednesday next. •

WANDSWORTH. —A respectable-looking mid-•
dle-aged man, who gave, the name of John Kelly,
was charged with stealing- a large quantity of plate
and jewellery at Southampton.
During the last, fortnight the prisoner had been
residing at Southampton, at a boarding-house
for travellers, in the care of a servant named
Mary Ann Anderson. On Saturday the pri-
soner sent to the railway what appeared t°
be his luggage, consisting of five large boxes
and a bag. He left on the Sunday morning, and
took with him three portmanteaus. Some time
afterwards Anderson missed a large 'quantity Of
valuable property, consisting of plate, &c., belong-
ing to her mistnss. Suspicion fell upon the Pri"
soner; and she then discovered that a gold watch
and guard had been stolen from the box of a gen-
tleman who had gone to sea, and had left his pro'
perty in their me. Inquiries were made. The
servant was placed in concealment at the Nine Elms depot, where the boxes had arrived. The
prisoner soon afterwards made his appearance and
claimed the property. The servant identified bilur.
and at once gave him into custody. The prisoliecc
said that if she did not press the charge, he would
restore all the property, and pay her expenses bast.s,
to Southampton. This she refused, and be vri#
taken tO the station. He then produced a bunt
of keys, and pointed to one of the boxes, which
upon being opened was found to contain the g?'
watch and a great deal of other property, consist'
ing of jewellery. The prisoner's brother said that
he had b-ft a carpet bag and a leather trunk sl"
Hampton 'Court station, which was found to I,,'a
correct, and they contained the whole of the li'
sing plate. The other boxes contained a Jerrb
quan ity of property, which is supposed to be IDA
proceeds of other robberies. The police also found
seventeen 5/. Bank notes upon the prisoner.
Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner fur inquiries.
