POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr. George Armstrong,
of Thornton Heath, Surrey, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with being drunk and disorderly, and Mr. Foster
Graham, 37, Oxford-street, gentleman, wus charged with
being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vine-street
station.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the defendants.

Bruce, 88 C, said—This morning, about two, while on
duty in Princes-street, Leicester-square, I saw the defend-
ants with some prostitutes and cabmen round the door of
the wine rooms known as " Kate Hamilton's," The de-
fendants were endeavouring to gain admittance, but the
door porter, seeing they were drunk, refused to let thorn in.
I requested the defendants to go away several times, and
Graham got into a cab with a prostitute and left. The de-
fendant Armstrong said he was if he would go, and
should remain as long as he liked. I was then compelled
to take Armstrong into custody. When I got to the Vine-
street station the defendant Graham made his appearance,
and asked to see the inspector, and as I observed he was
drunk I told him to wait a few minutes. He said—" I'm
—if I'll wait," and forced his way in. I asked him to
wait in the reserve room, and he behsved in a disorderly
manner. I then told him he must consider himself in cus-
tody for the disturbance he had made.

By Mr. Lewis—Graham did not go to the station to
complain of me that I know of, and he did not say so. He
came to the station in the cab with the prostitute. The
defendants were together at the door of " Kate Hamilton's."
There is no one here from "Kate Hamilton's" to complain.
Mr. Lewis said he thought it a piece of officiousness on
the part of the constable. There was no one from the
house to complain, and rot even a second constable to cor-
roborate ; and he asked his worship whether there was suf-
ficient to warrant Armstrong being taken into custody.
The defendant Armstrong went quietly to the station, and
then when Graham went to the station to inquire after his
friend, who had been dragged to the station, and to com-
plain to the inspector, he was charged himself with being
drunk.

Gillett, 214 0, was sent for, and corroborated Bruce;
88 C.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should discharge Armstrong, but
fine Graham 10s. or seven days.

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY.—Ann Reeves, a young woman of
very doubtful reputation, was brought before Mr. Woolrych
charged with stealing four shirts and a silk waistcoat from
the Victory beer-shop, in the West India-road, Limehouse.
It appeared that the prisoner was in the beer-shop on
Saturday evening, and partook of some refreshment. Soon
after she had left the house four shirts and a waistcoat were
missed. The prisoner was apprehended last night by Chad-
wick, 350 K, and she stated that she had pawned two of the
shirts and a waistcoat at a leaving-shop in Salmon-lane,
Limehouse. The articles were found at the place described.
The prisoner had obtained a loan of ss. upon the articles.
A woman, named Et za Hazenfeldt afforded considerable
amusement by describing the actions of the prisoner in the
Victory beer-shop on Saturday night. She saw the pri-
soner in the bar parlour concealing things about her, and
making herself up as if she was pregnant.
Tho prisoner, in defence, said she had only stolen two
shirts and a waistcoat, and if the magistrate would dis-
charge her she would never do so again, and would pay
Mrs. Johnson, the prosecutrix, for her property as soon as
she could raise the money.
Mrs. Johnson said she had missed foil,. shirts and a
waistcoat.

Chadwick sail the prisoner was in custody a few weeks
ago for robbing her newly-furnished lodgings.
Mr. ffoolrych—l convict the prisoner of improperly dis-
posing of the property, and fine her 10s. and 20s. the value,
and in default 21 days' imprisonment.
