POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Jan. 27.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Henry William Goodeve,
clerk to Mr. Horniman, tea merchant, 30, Worm-
wood-street, who had been remanded upon the
charge of having embezzled 17 cheques, amounting
to £65 10s., belonging 'to his employer, was again
placed at the bar.
The evidence given at the former examination
was to the effect that the prisoney had been en
trusted with the cheques in order that he might
enclose them in letters of advice to the proprietors
of various journals throughout the country. In-
stead of doing this, however, lie got them cashed
by Mr. Jackson, a licensed victualler, in Whitmore-
road, Hoxton, and appropriated their proceeds to
his own use.
Mr. Morgan (Humphreys, Son, and Morgan) said
that since the last examination he had ascertained
that the witness, Mr. Jackson, had passed three
separate lots of cheques belonging to the prosecu-
tor through his banker's for the accommodation of
the prisoner, instead of two lots as stated by that
witness.
EMT. R. B. Hill, proprietor of the Bedford Mer-
cury, said—The sum of £3 155., referred to in the
cheque produced, has not been paid to me.
Mr. J. S. Clark, proprietor of the Peterborough
Advertiser, said the cheque produced for £3 15s.
had never reached him.
Mr. F. J. Horniman—l produce three cheques
upon our bankers, amounting to £l6 Os. 10d., dated
the 25th May, which I delivered to the' prisoner
about that time to place in letters and send to their
destination. The six cheques dated Ist July, and
amountino. to £3B 195., were also handed to him
to be posted. On the 18th Aug. I delivered to him
nine cheques, amounting to £59.175. 6d., to be for-
warded by post. Those cheques have all been re-
'turned to us as paid by our bankers.
Mr. Jackson said the whole of the cheques re-
ferred to by the last witness had been cashed by
him for the prisoner.
In reply to Sir R. W. Carden; •
The witness said that he had never charged the
prisoner anything for the accommodation he had

given hi; nby cashing the cheques, but had merely
deducted trifling sums for beer supplied to the pri-
soner's.cause.

Mr. J.. Ray—l am cashier to Messrs Davis, the
bank:Ts, Shorediteh. The six cheques pro-
duced, mounting to the sum of £3B 195.,
I receive' 1 from Mr. Jackson, and passed them to
his aceou nt. The three cheques amounting to £l6
Os. 10d., 1 and the nine to .£59 17s. 6d., I also passed
through , our bank.
Mr. AR 'rgan said that was the case for the pro-
secution. _

Mr. Bea: 'xi said it was the intention of the pri-
soner to plc ad guilty to the charge at the trial.
The prisc.. ner, -who after the usual caution, stated
that he had n.')th ing to say, was then fully com-
mitted to the C:2l:..tral Criminal Court for trial, en
the three sev,lrti 1 charges of having feloniously
stolen 17, 3,6, a d 9 cheques.
Abraham Kell A r, a respectable looking man, atred.
38, was charged 'before the Lord Mayor with }ly-
ing obtained a q' iantity- of boots of the value of £2O,
and four dozen 1 iottles of Bass's pale ale, of the
value of £1 lls., under false pretences.
Mr. W. Poste ns, wine and beer merchant, 23,
Rood-lane, said— -The prisoner called at my count-
ing-house about the 11th Dec., and stated that his
name was Hair tilton ; that he had been to my
neighbours, Mes: in. Pugh, and given them an order
for some wine, a nd that they had recommended
him to me for sc cue beer, which he required. I
asked him where he resided, and he gave the ad-
dress, 483 A, New Oxford-street. I believed that
he had been recc ,mmended by Messrs. Vincent and
Pugh, and sent h im two dozen quarts and two dozen
pints, which wei T to be paid for at the end of the
week. He said he was about to open a shop, but I
do not reeolleitt in what particular line- I after-
wards ascertainedthat he had been simply recom-
mended by Met,,lscrs. Vincent and Pugh's cellarman.
Mr. Goodman What is your particular charge
against him ?
Prosecutor—E to obtained these goods under the
name of Hamilt,:m, his real name being Kelly, and
he having taken: the premises he occupied for the
purpose of getting goods in this manner, and de-
frauding their o wners of their value.
The Lord Ma:yor—lt appears that the prisoner
told a falsehood, for the purpose of getting these
goods.
Prisoner—l never told a falsebood. I have just
passed through ti le Insolvent Debtors Court, and now
these things are, brought against me.
Prosecutor-111e urged me to send the beer at once
on the ground that his wife was an invalid, and I
did so. Fortunately for Messrs. Vincent and Pugh
they did not ex acute the prisoner's order.
The Lord M:a.yor—They exercised sounder dis-
cretion than you did.
Prosecutor—They did, my lord.
Policeman B. Baldwin, 537, said he believed he
should be able to bring a great number of other
cases against the prisoner if a remand were granted.
There was another charge already entered against
him of obtaining boots of the value of £2O, under
false pretences. He had been declared insolvent
over and over again in all parts of London, and
latterly. in Blackman-street and Dover-street,
Borough. Numbers of tradesmen have been de-
frauded of their property by his false represen-
' tations. _ _

The Lord Mayor—The only astonishment is that
respectable tradesmen fall into such snares, and'
become the dupes of villains who want to obtain
goods from them without the means of payilig for
them. However, the case will stand over for the
present, in order that other persons who have
charges to prefer against the prisoner may have an
opportunity of being present.
The prisoner was removed to a cell below stairs.

CLERKENWELL—WiIIiam Harding, residing
at 38, Middlesex-street, Somer's Town, applied to
his worship under the following circumstances :
The applicant, who had his arm in a sling, stated
that he was a farrier by trade, but in consequence
of having burnt his arm, he had been unable to
work, and was in great distress. To add to his
distress, this day week his wife was delivered of a
still born child, and had now only a small quantity
of dry bread for her sustenance, although she was
very ill. The parish authorities of St. Pancras had
buried the child, but had not relieved the family.
He (the applicant) yesterday morning went to
the workhouse, and having knocked at the gate,
saw an old man, who told him that nothing could
be done, as he was too late, and that he had
better apply the next day. This (Thursday) morn-
ing he again went to the workhouse, and saw the
same old man who told him he must call again on
Friday. Being in great distress, he thought it bet-
ter to apply to his worship. He only wanted relief
until his arm got better, and to provide the proper
necessaries for his sick wife.

Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired to what parish the appli-
cant belonged ?
Applicant stated that he was born at the Hyde,
near Edgeware,•but that ho had been living in the
parish of St. Pancras nearly all his life.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no control over the
management of the poor. H. most sincerely de-
plored the policy pursued, and lamented the way in
which the poor-law was carried out. He told the
applicant to apply again at the workhouse ; and to
relieve the applicant's present necessities he would
give him ss. out of the poor-box.

MARYLEBONE.—Mr. J. Plews, a timber mer-
chant, living at 384, Euston•road, was charged with
having caused the death of Mr. John H. Burrows,
clothier, &c., Hampstead-road.
The court was much crowded during the inquiry.
The first witness called was Rosanna Friend,
who deposed that she was servant to the deceased,
and that on the previous evening, between seven
and eight o'clock, there was a loud talking between
her master (deceased) and the prisoner in the shop.
Some high and angry words took place.
Mr. Long—Upon hearing what you have stated,
what did you do ?
Witness—l tried to persuade my master to come
from the shop into the parlour, but he did not do
so. The prisoner offered to fight him, and held his
fist close up to his (my master's) face. He turned
rbund to avoid the blow, and was hit with great
violence upon the back; he staggered several yards
and fell with his head against the handle of a
drawer. He was wounded on the head, and
died immediately. _

Mr. Long-1, irais your master in good health
before this?

Witness—He was, sir.
Mr. Long—Did the prisoner and your master
come in together ?
Witness—They did.
Mr. Long—Do you know what gave rise to the
quarrel ?
Witness—l do not.

In reply to further questions from Mr. Long,
Witness said—l heard deceased say that Plows
had robbed him, or tried to rob him, and called him
a thief.
Mr. Collins, surgeon, Mornin gt on -crescent, stated
that he found upon examining the deceased a sniall
scalp wound. He observed no other external marks
of violence.
Mr. Long—What in your opinion was the cause
of death ?
Witness—The rupture of a vessel of the brain
occasioned by the fall.
Mr. Long—Can you say in what condition of
health the deceesed was at the time of this occur-
rence ? _

Witness—No, sir.
The prisoner had no question to ask of either of
fie witnesses examined.
Sergeant Beard, 23 S, stated, that having re-
ceived, information of the death of Mr. Burrows,
he went to the residence of prisoner, at five
minutes to twelve at night, accompanied by
Constable White, No. 290, and found the prisoner
'lying asleep on the sofa. He was undressed, and
on witness telling him that he was charged with
having caused th 3 death of Mr. Burrows, he ex-
claimed, " My God, is he dead?"
Mr. Long—ln what state did he seem to be when
you took him ?
Witness—He was very much excited, and I have
no doubt that he was the worse for drink. He said
he had struck Mr. Burrows, and that he would
strike any man who accused him of villany.
Mr. Long remarked that the blow which caused
the fatal result was no doubt given under circum-
stances of great provocation by prisoner in defence
of his character. It was a most serious and lament-
able affair, and it was his duty to remand him
(prisoner) for a week. Good and substantial bail
would he taken for his again appearing.
