POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 6.

MANSION-HOUSE. Jose Guysipi, a Spanish
seaman, was charged with having brandished a dagger
and threatened to stab some persons, who did not ap-
pear, in Horse and Trumpet-yard.
Daniel Buckley, constable, No. 582, said that on Sa-
turday night, between eight and nine o'clock, some per-
sons told him that the prisoner had attempted to stab
them with a dagger. He took him to the station-house,
and found the dagger (a most formidable weapon) in his
pocket.

Sir R. W. Carden (looking at the dagger)—There is
engraved on this—" We ask for nothing but what is
right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. Draw me
not in haste. William Rodger's celebrated dirk knife."
Are none of the persons whom he threatened to stab in
attendance

Constable—No, sir, they did not accompany me to
the station house.

The prisoner, who did not understand English, and to
whom the evidence was translated through the medium
of an interpreter, said he took the dagger from his poc-
ket because two men had been trying to rob him. He
added that he had purchased it for the purpose of taking
care of himself when on board ship.
Sir R. W. Carden—lt is a most nn•English knife, and
I am sorry to see that it has been manufactured in Eng-
land. We do not allow people in this country to carry
weapons of this description, and therefore I shall desire
the police to take possession of it.
The remarks of the magistrate were communicated to
the prisoner, who was then discharged.

BOW-STREET.—WilliamStevens Hayward, de-
scribed as a gentleman, was charged by Jane Beason,
servant at a lodging-house in Alfred-place, with com-
mitting a rape upon her on the previous evening.
The pro,ecutrix who, it appeared, had made her state-
ment plainly enough to her mistress, could not be in-
duced to do so when in the witness-box. She declared
that she did not know what to say.
Mr. Hall remarked that, however disagreeable it
might be to her, or to any modest young woman, to
state circumstances of this nature, there was really no
help for it. Nothing could be done witbont a clear
statement of the facts in plain language. Whatever she
bad said to he; mistress she must now repeat.
Prosecutrix—My mistress asked me, and I told her
yes.

- Mr. Hall—We cannot do that here. I cannot put
leading questions to you. But whatever your mistress
asked, and you said "Yes " to, you must now repeat.
The prosecutrix declared that she could not.
The worthy magistrate in vain endeavoured to extract
from her a plain statement of the circumstances, and at
last she burst into tears, repeating—"l can't say it; I
really can't, sir."

•M. Metcalfe, the defendant's counsel, suggested that
the case should be adjourned to a future day to give the
proeecutrix an opportunity of composing her mind, and
the defendant of communicating with his friends.
Mr. Hall thought this was the only course that could
be taken. Meanwhile he would admit defendant to bail.
Two sureties in 2501. each were at once provided.

MARLBOROITGH-STREET.-----Lieut. E. Augustus
Lloyd, of the Royal Artillery, was brought before Mr.
Bingham for further examination, charged with obtain-
ing goods from numerous tradesmen by fraudulent pre-
tences.

Mr. Campbell Sleigh, who appeared for the accused,
said he did not intend to offer any justification for the
indiscreet conduct of his client in giving cheques to
tradesmen from whom he had made purchases on his
agents, Messrs. Cox and Co., when there were no funds
to meet those cheques, but he was in a condition to
show that his client was a gentleman highly connected,
holding a commission in her Majesty's service, and that
when he gave the cheques he was under the impression
that he should be in funds, from the sale of some rever-
sionary property, in time sufficient to enable his agents
to honour the cheques. There was a gentleman from
Messrs. C, x and Co.'s in court who would prove that
Lieut. Lloyd had an account still open with the firm.
He trusted, therefore, that the magistrate would accede
to his application for a remand of a week.
Mr. Bingham said he had no objection to accede to
the moderate request, as he believed it was the intention
of Mr. Beaton, who heard the case in the first instance,
to order a remand.

Mr. Sleigh hoped moderate bail would be accepted.
Mr. Bingham would not refuse good bail. A trades-
man, who bad been victimised, hoped heavy bail would
be required, as the amount obtained from tradesmen
did not fall very far short of 2,0001.
The prisoner was then remanded fora week.
Thomas Baker was charged with obtaining goods by
false pretences.

The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the service of
Col. Daniels, 54, Grosvenor-street, and he had made use
of his former master's name to defraud tradesmen.
The prisoner went to the shop of Henry Davey, boot-
maker, 251, Regent-street presented a note purporting
to be written by Mrs. Daniels, and succeeded in getting
four pairs of boots.
Col. Daniels proved that the note was not in the
handwriting of Mrs. Daniels.
The next, case was for having obtained some cakes
and a quantity of flour from David Clunie, baker, &c.,
Old Bond-street. The prisoner went with a note pur-
porting to be written by Mrs. Daniels, which was proved
to be a forgery.
The prisoner did not deny his guilt, and was fully
committed for trial.
It is remarkable that Colonel Daniels' residence was
burglariously entered a short time ago, evidently by
some one well acquainted with the premises and the re-
gulations of the family, auct up wards of 1001. worth of
property stolen.

WORSIZIP-STREET.—MARITAL BRUTAILT7.—Wm.
Buttery, a dissipated looking fellow, was brought before
Mr% D'Eyncourt upon a charge of savagely ill-treating
Elizabeth Ch•Arlotte, his wile, a very decent-looking
woman, who, bore very visible marks of recent violence.
It aPrdared from the statement of the complainant
that sb.e had been married about 12 months to the defen-
dant, who is by trade a rifle gun-barrel marker, earning
5Qs. per week wages—the greater part of which, how-
ever, he dissipated away from home, indulging in habits
of drunkenness and frequently beating and ill-using
her. Besides his personal ill-treatment, he had latterly
been in the habit of embittering her existence by avow-
ing that during his absence from home he kept com-
pany with another female. Daring the whole of Satur-
day he was away, and did not return till Sunday
night, when he came home intcxicated ; upon which
she admittted that she called him a wretch, and asked
him where he had been ? He replied that he had
been with his mistress—of whom he produced a photo.
graph portrait—and, striking complainant several vio-
lent blows upon the face, knocked her down, and then
beat her about. He after that caught up the tongs and
shovel, and striking at her with them, fortunately missed
her, but struck the table with such force as to break it.
The poor woman added that she was terribly sore from
blows about the bead, and that her jaw was injured and
her teeth loosened.
In reply to her husband's questions, she denied hav-
ing thrown things at him.
Jane Elizabeth Nash, the complainant's daughter by
a former husband, said that she was present when the
defendant came home, and when asked by her mother
where he had been, he replied, " To my mistress," and
immediately struck her. He knocked her down three
several times by blows on the face, and afterwards took
the shovel and tongs to assail her with, and in, striking
at her broke the table. The young witness said she had
several times before seen him ill use her •aiotber.
Police-constable Brewer, 30 H,
to the place he found the com P- 1, said that when called
inant bleedinog from the
mouth, and the defendant,
%flan had been drinking, but
a chair by the fire and abusing
was not drunk, s

CLT:•RICENWELL. VIOLENT ASSAULT. Wm.
,Ru.dsell, aged 21, a barman employed at th• Sun public-
douse, at the corner of Ormond-street, Lamb's Conduit-
street, St. Andrew's, Holborn, was brought up in the
custody of Inspector Checkl?y, E division, and placed
at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with causing tho
death of Joseph Lockwood, aged 40, under the following
circumstances :
Henry Small, of Lamb's-yard, Lamb's Conduit-street,
having been sworn, said that on Saturday morning last,
at about a quarter past 6 o'clock, he was at the Sun
public-house, at the eorner of Ormond-etreet and Lamb's
Conduit-street, when he saw the prisoner seize the de.
ceased, and throw him with great violence into the
street. Ile fell on the pavement and injured his head,
from which he bled very much, and he was taken to the
hospital.

Mr. C. Halfnrd, of Caledonian-road, sworn, said—At
a quarter past 6 o'clock on Saturday morning he was in
Lamb's Conduit-street, near the Sun, when he heard
something fall very heavily on the ground, and, on look-
ing round, he saw a man lying in the road insensible,
and bleeding from his head. Witness rendered him as-
sistance, and bad him conveyed to the hospital, where he
died yesterday (Monday) morning.
Mr. Inspector Richard Checkley, E, said that he re-
ceived information with reference to the case and the
death of the man in the hospital, when he felt it to be
his duty to take the prisoner into custody and bring him
to this court.

Mr. Corrie asked the prisoner if he wished to give
any explanation as to the affair ?
The prisoner said that on Saturday morning, at about
the hour mentioned by the witnesses, the deceased came
into the Sun and was served with three halfpennyworth
of rum, when he became insulting, used bad lauguage,
and threatened him, when he seized him by the arms
and pushed him into the street, whilst another person
held the folding doors open.
Mr. Corrie inquired who r nd what the deceased was,
and waa informed that be wan in the habit of drawing
pictures with coloured cha) ks upon the pavements ter a

be allowed to accompany her home, and they got into a
cab. She bad at that time loose in her dress-pocket a
half-sovereign, four half-crowns and sixpence. On their
arrival at her house she missed the four half-crowns and
sixpence, and beino. ,:atisfied that he must have stolen it,
she gave him into custody. In her cross-examination by
Mr. Burcham she stated herself to be a modest female,
and that she never took gentlemen home with her, as
she was a respectable girl, and lived on her property.
Mr. Burcham, however, having some doubts as to her
testimony, adjourned the case for further inquiries and
to enable Mr. Gibson to bring persons of respectability
who knew him.

On the case being called on, Mr. Burcham asked the
prosecutrix what better account she could give of her.
self ?

She said she came from Germany to learn English in
1851, the time of the Exhibition. She remained three
weeks, and went to Berlin. Last year she was nine
months in Dublin.

Mr. Burcham—What property have you to subsist on?
Witness—l had some cottages left ma in Germany,
and I sold them for 1,700 thaltirs.

Mr. Burcham—Have you any of that by you now ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Burchatn— What do you pay for your lodgings ?
Witness-18s. a-week.
Mr. Burnham—You say you keep a servant. What
do you pay her?
Witness—Ten shillings and sixpence a month. I have
travelled with a lady 11 weeks, and a little while ago I
lived in Tenison-street, York-road.

Mr. Burnham—What did you pay for your 'lodgings
there

Witness—A guinea a week. No person came to see
me there except a lady. •
Mr. Edwin—Now, has any gentleman come to see
you at 76, Stamtord-street ?

Witness—Only one,. sir ; I met him at the Crystal
Palace, and we went to the Lyceum Theatre. lie was
a perfect stranger to me.
Mr. Burchara—Now, did not that gentleman go home
with you ? _ _

Witness—No, sir ; I went home by myself. I made
an appointment tc meet him a month afterwards at the
Colosseum, and I have seen him since frequently.
Jane Costa, the servant, was then called. She said
she received 10s. 6d. a month, and had been in ber ser-
vice 10 weeks. She generally went to bed at 10 o'clock,
and never saw any gentleman call on her mistress. She
knew her to go out late at night, but she could not say
whether she brought any gentleman home with her.
Witness believed her to be a respectable female.
Mr. Earthen:l—Did you not think it strange in her
going out at 11 o'clock at night ?
Witness—l can't tell, Air, as Igo to bed early.
Mr. Bureham—Don't you know that she is constantly
going out late at night ?
Witness, hesitating—l do, sir; and she has told me
that she went to see a friend.
Mr. Burcham—Male or female

Witness—l don't know, sir.
Several respectable tradesmen here came forward, and
spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Gibson's conduct. He
did considerable business on the turf for himself and
gentlemen of property.
Mr. Burcham said that the evidence against the defen-
dant rested entirely on the prosecutrix, and if it had
been consistent he should have sent the case for trial ;
but, after carefullyinvestigating the whole of the circum-
stances, and from the cross-examination, he was positive
that no one could believe her ; therefore it would be
useless to send him before a jury. There could be no
doubt as to the manner in which the prosecutrix gained
her livelihood, and the description of the house she lived
in, and that she entered the cab with the defendant to
take him home, but was disappointed. Under all the
circumstances, he must be discharged.
EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—John Leary and Josiah
Powdenhill, alias Brighton Jesse, were finally ermined,
charged with assaulting Ann Shean, and stealing from
her 151. in gold. The latter was also charged with rob-
bing a gentleman of 501.
Mr. Solomon attended to defend them.

On being sworn Shean stated that on Saturday morns
ing, 28th ult., between four and five, she went with the
prisoners into two or three publiclouses about the Bo-
rough•market, when she hail 15 sovereigns tied up in her
handkerchief, which she concealed in her bosom. She
had changed a sovereign to pay for gin and beer which
she treated them and four or five others with. After
that they all wen& into Slee and Pike's wine-vaults, op-
posite the Town-hall, when feeling herself a little the
worse for liquor, she thought it advisable to leave a por-
tion of the money with William, the barman. As she
was taking it out of her handkerchief, Powdenhill seized
her by the throat behind, while Leary snatched the
money, and handed it to his companions, who ran off.
Witness, however, pursued Leary, and saw him stopped
near the doorway by a police-constable, but the other es-
caped. He was, however, apprehended in Kent-street at
seven o'clock the same morning, when he attempted to 1
make his escape.
Charles Llewenden, 228 M, said he was on duty in
High-street about five o'clock on the morning in ques-
tion, when he saw Lary run out of the public-house
followed by Shean, who called out "Stop him, he has
robbed me." Witness caught hold of him and took him
into custody, and on their way to the station-house
Leary offered the female 61. if she did not press the
charge against him. At 7 o'clock Pewdenhill was ap-
prehended in Kent-street, and he offered her 51. if she
did not go to the station-house against him. After the
1 charge was entered information was received that Shean
had robbed a gentleman of 501. on the previous night,
and he was in court to identify her.
The magistrate committed the prisoners for trial for
stealing the 151., and remanded Shean until Saturday to
have the charge investigated against her for robbing the
gentleman of 501.
