POLICE INTZLLIGENOL (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTEMSIVX BURGLARY BY A ',kn.—Mathew Charles
Taylor, a lad 17 years of age, was placed at the bar, be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with biarglariously breaking
into the premises No. 21, Noel-street, Berwick-street,
and stealing therefrom a quantity of silver spoons, four
silver figures, several silver brooches, a lot of unset
rubies, and other articles of considerable value, the
property of Mr. John Le Roche, goldsmith and jeweller.
John Bingham stated that he was foreman to Mr.
Le Roche, and well acquainted with the prisoner, who
was discharged from the same employ about eight weeks
ago, for dishonesty. Oa Saturday afternoon last, wit-
ness having seen to the safety of the stock, and 'well
secured the premises, left the place. On Monday morn-
ing on gcing to business, he was astonished to find that
the premises had in the meanwhile been forcibly entered,
and the whole of the property named in the charge
stolen therefrom. Several secret drawers were broken
open and rifled of their contents, and this, combined
with various circumstances, induced him to suspect the
prisoner to be the thief. Last night from information
he received, he went to a public-house in Oxford-street,
where he saw the prisoner. He called him out, and told
him Mr. Le Roche, who was outside, desired to see him.
The prisoner them came out, and witness told him he
had done a very pretty thing in robbing Mr. Ls Roche.
The prisoner said he had done nothing, nor did
he know anything about the robbery. They then
walked on till they met a constable, when the prisoner
was given into custody.

Mr. John Le Roche, jeweller, Noel-street, said that in
consequence of the prisoner's bad character he was dis-
charged eight weeks ago. Since he had left lint suspi-
cion of various robberies fell upon hies, and he tieing the
only person, with the exception of prosecutor and his
brother, who knew of the construction of the secret
drawers, and therefore coukl but know hew to open
thew, he was at once suspected of the present burglary.
Considerable pry eerty bad been stolen, and at present
witness was not aware of the extent of his loss.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was leinanied
for a Nk eek.

WESTMINSTER.

CRUEL CASH OF DESERTION.—WiIIiam Ambrose, a
lady's boot and shoe maker, was charged with deserting
his wife and child.

The wife, an extremely creditable-looking young
woman, with an infant in her arms, said that she had
only been married to the defendant two years and a-half.
During the last two months he had formed an improper
intimacy with another woman, and on Wednesday three
weeks he desired her to go to his employer to get him
six pairs of boots to do. She went, but found there was
no work left out for him, as described, and on her return
the defendant had absconded, and bad left the infant
lying on the step of the door. He was found last night
at Bethnal-green, by ,Knowland, the summoning officer
of the court, and taken into custody.
Defendant said he would make his wife a weekly
allowance.

Mr. Payntsr —I don't think you are very likely to de
that, as you are living with another woman. Your
conduct is very disgraceful, and I shall commit you for
two mouths to hard labour ist the House of Correction,
and if you don't do your duty when yon cease out and
support your wife and child, I will send you for trial, as
an incorrigible rogue.
Mary Connell, a young hearty-looking woman, was
charged with deserting her three illegitimate children, of
tender years.
Mr. Colless, relieving officer of St. Margaret's, said
the law would not reach the defendant for desertion, as
the offence of running away was committed in Jane,
1856, which was out of the legal lapse of time ; he must,
therefore, merely proceed for the minor offence of
neglecting to maintain.
' '

Elisabeth Parker stated that in compassion to the
woman's children she gave her and them a lodging for
a week, in June, 1854 ; but on getting up one morning
she found defendant had picked her pocket of all the
money she possessed, and had absconded, leaving her
children. Being penniless, she could neither get them
nor herself food, and took them to the workhouse, where
they had been since maintained.
Sergeant Lavine proved that the woman was compe-
-1 tent to maintain her children.

Mr. Payater said her conduct was very bad, and oom•
=Mei her for a month to bard labour.

THAMES.

MURNEILOUS ASSAULT.—CharIes Murray, a powerful-
looking man, aged 24, was brought before Mr. Yardlay,
charged with beating and kicking Philip Clifford, a
Yorkehirenian, in a most barbarous manner.

The prosecutor, a tall, burly fellow, presented a
hideous appearance. His face was swollen, his features
mutilated, and there were surgical plasters under each
eye. He said that he lived in Wentworth-street, and
did nothing particular for his living.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the two men
before hi■ worship were two of the most worthless fellows
in the district, and had been in the practios of
going about from public-house to public-house,
sponging upon sailors, and living by the most disre-
putable means. The prosecutor, who lived in a locality
in Whitechapel, swarming with thieves, was the
worst of the two. It appeared that the two lel-
lows were drinking together at the Cock and Neptune
public-house, last night, and that the prisoner asked the
complainant to purchase some tea, sugar, aid bread for
him, and gave him half-a-crown for that purpose. The
complainant, to use his own phrase, stuck to the money
and spent it upon himself. The prisoner with a dread-
ful oath swore he would be revenged. He waylaid the
complaisant about one o'clock in the morning, in Leman-
stieet, Whitechapel, knocked Lim down, jumped upon
him, and kicked him about the head, face, and body.
The groans and cries of the wounded man were heard
by a police-constable, named Lewin, 77 11, who heard
him say don't kill me, don't kill me. The man
became insensible from loss of blood and the dreadful
punishment he received, and there is no doubt that but
for the opportune arrival of the police the man would
have been murdered. The man was conveyed to the
hospital, where his wounds were dressed.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not been to
sea for seven months ; that he lived on money supplied
to him by his brother-in-law, of No. 2, Royal Exchange
Buildings ; and that his father left him 6001. some time

—Mr. Yardley did not believe the prisoner, and con-
sidered him to be a most idle and worthless ruffian. The
public peace was not to be disturbed by such a ♦illain.
He sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 31., and in
default sentenced Mm to one montti a imprisonment.
