POLICE. LA TELLIGENCA.,,

stylishly-dressed
young man, about 25 years of age, named William
Gilbert, was brought up on remand, charged with
stealing a large number of pieces of alpaca, to the
value of about £250, the property of Messrs. Carl-
ton and Walker, warehousemen, Manchester,
Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution.
It appeared that the prosecutors have a ware-
house at 48, Bread-street, Cheapside, where their
business is carried on by their agent, Mr. Heather,
and where ae prisoner was employed as warehouse-
man. Mr. Heather not feeling satisfied with the
state of the stock, spoke to the prisoner, and re-
quested to account for all the stock in his possession ;
upon which he replied that it was no use denying
it, he had removed a great quantity of pieces of
alpaca and had pawned them. Mr. Heather wrote
'to the firm at Manchester, and received instructions
to prosecute the prisoner, upon which he was ap-
prehended at his lodgings, where police-constable
Hancock found 37 duplicates relating to alpaca
which had been taken from the warehouse in Bread-
street. All the goods were produced by the pawn-
brokers with whom they were pledged, and were
identified by Mr. Galgan, assistant to Mr. Heather,
as forming part of their stock.
There was also a charge of embezzlement against 1

the prisoner, in which case he had been in the
habit of selling goods to a Mr. Millengen, and some
amounts he had received for those, to the amount of
of nearly £4O, he had never accounted.

The payments having been proved, the prisoner,
who had nothing to say, was committed for trial
on both charges.
A rather good-lcoking young woman, about 18
Myears of age, rather stylishly attired, named Ellen
edcaif, and who was described on the charge-
sheet as a servant, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged with stealing a lace handkerchief,
value 55., the property of Miss Lialter, who resides
with her brother, Joseph Lialter, 75, Aldgate, High-
street, butcher. in whose service the prisoner was.
Detective-officer Monger said that, from informa-
tion he received, he went yesterday to 2, Crown-
place, Aldgate, where he saw the prisoner. He
asked her why she had left her master, Mr. Lialter,
and she replied that she went to a party, and that
was the reason she did not return. He asked if she
knew anything about two diamond rings which her
master had lost, and she,replied that she knew he
had lost them, but she knew nothing of them. He
then asked her if she had a lace handkerchief, and
she replied that she had not. He looked into a cup-
board and there found the lace handkerchief he
produced. He took her to her master's, and the
handkerchief was identified by Miss Lialter as her
property. Upon that he asked for a remand. The
prisoner was acceordingly remanded until Tuesday.

MARYLEBONE.—DARING WATCH ROBBERY.
—John Wood and Martin Glynn were charged on ,
remand with having been concerned in stealing a
gold watch, on Saturday evening last, from the per-
son of Mr. Withers, residing in Park•street, Cam-
den-town, while he was in Albert-rootd, Regent's-
park, witnessing the passing of a regiment of rifles
with their band.
The complicity of the prisoners was clearly proved,
and both having pleaded guilty, they were com-
mitted to hard labour in the House of Correction for
six months.

FEMALE AREA SNEAKS.—Anne Brown, was re-
examined, charged by Sergeant White, 16 D, with
the following robbery.
The evidence went to show that on the previous
Thursday the officer saw the prisoner go down
several areas in York place, Portman-square, and
on her making her egress from No. 24. he stopped
her, and found in a basket which she had on her
arm a dress, a shawl, and other articles of
female apparel, which were found to belong to
two of the servants at the house above alluded to;
the property which was produced and identified,
was valued at £7.

The prisoner, who is an old offender, was com-
mitted for trial.

A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN. Police-constable
Volard, 302 D, was charged, by direction of the
Police Commissioners, with the following offences :
The evidence of Inspector Steer went to show
that on the previous night the prisoner, when pre-
senting himself at the Paddington station-house
preparatory to his going on duty, was observed to
be tile worse for drink. He was told that such was
the case, when he pulled off his coat and hat and
threw them down. He more than once kicked the
hat while it was lying on the floor, and his conduct
altogether was of so outrageous a character: as to
render it necessary that he ehould in the visual way
be charged. _

A fine of £5 was inflicted—in default of payment
a month's imprisonment.

ARTFUL SYSTEM OF ROBBERY.--,-IVIII, Burton, a
well-dressed young man, was brought up on re-
mand, charged with having in a most artful man-
ner obtained boots, the property of several trades-
men, and it is imagined that he has for a long time
past pursued successfully his nefarious practices.
It appeared that his plan was to go to shops with
a request that boots might be sent to certain places
for ladies to try on, and that he managed to get
possession of the goods by sending the bearer of
them, whom be mat on the road, to parties requir-
ing the articles and wbo, as alleged, lived in adja-
cent streets, which he named, as also the number of
the house. In the absence of the man or boy who
had been entrusted with the hoots he decamped,
and was subsequently captured by Muria, an
active officer, 328 S.
Upon two charges, which were clearly proved,
the,prisoner was committed for trial.
