POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF DOG STEALING.—Auguste Lasselin, a
Frenchman, was charged before Mr. Beaden with stealing
a dog of the value of £6, the property of Elsie Mitchell, 16,
Lisle•street, modiste.
Mr. Albert interpreted in the case.
George Gagne, a Frenchman, of 5, Leicester-place, brass
mounter, said he was in Windmill-street with the dog in
his arms, when two men came up and seized him, and the
prisoner took the dog away from him and gate it to another
man. He called " Police," and soon after the prisoner was
seen near his own house in Warwick-street, and them.
Madame Elise Mitchell gave him into custody.
Mrs. Bridget Norton, dressmaker, of Smith's-court, cor-
roborated the witness's evidence, speaking with a volubility
seldom witnessed.

A long conversation in French here ensued between the
prisoner, the prosecutrix, and the magistrate, in the course
of which it was elicited that there was a dispute as to the
ownership of the dog, Madame Mitchell stating that she
had paid for it.

Mr. Beadon told the prisoner that if Madame Mitchell
owed him for the dog he must go to the County Court, but
not seize it.

The prisoner was then discharged.
" DOING" A MAGISTRATE.—Thomas Maguire and
Mary Ann Maguire were charged before Mr. Beadon,
with being drunk and begging.
The case being proved,

Fryer, a Mendicity Society officer, said the woman .was
before Mr. Mansfield the previous day, at Marylebone, and
on her stating that she was " going to Brighton," Mr.
Mansfield gave her a shilling to help her on her road. She
then gave the name of Smith. Instead of starting for
Brighton, however, the money had been Ppeat in drink.

Mr. Beadon committed them for a month each.

THAMES.

THE WHEELBARROW THEFT.—A strange looking man,
with a huge nose, who gave tho name of William Nathan,
but who has as many aliases as the Spanish Infanta,
lately christened, has names, was brought before Mr.
Woolrych charged with stealing a great number of wheel-
barrows.

It appeared it had been the practice of the prisoner to
hire wheelbarrows of poor costermongers, and then sell
them below their real value, and keep the money. Inspec-
tor Allison, of the K division, had received numerous
complaints of the prisoner's misoloings from poor and in-
dustrious men, who earned a precarious living in the
streets, and whose barrows were their travelling shops.
John Clark, a labourer, of Angel-gardens, Shadwell, said
—Your worship, I am a costermonger and works hard for
my living. I had a wheelbarrow nine months ago, and
my joker there hired it for two or three hours. Well, I
never saw my barrow or him either until yesterday even-
ing, and I says, "My joker, where is my barrow." He
looks up at me and says, " I don't know you." I know
you, " my joker, says I," and I gave him into custody.

Mr. IVoolrych was surprised the witness should call the
prisoner my joker, as it was anything but a joke to steal
his barrow, and asked him by what name he know the pri-
soner. _
