POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

George Ryan was placed at the bar before Alderman
Rose, charged with stealing a roll of flannel value £4.
John Tiddy, a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Bleary, 20,
Aldermanbury, warehouseman, said this morning, about
ten o'clock, I was near the street door when I saw the pri-
soner leave the place with a largo parcel under his arm. I
went after him, and he then threw the parcel in the road
and run away. I came up with him and seized him, when
he struggled very violently to get away. A policeman came
up and he was secured and taken to the station-house. The
parcel was found to contain 46 yards of fancy flannel, and
was worth about £4. It had been taken off the counter.
The flannel produced is the property of my employers.
City police-constable 459 said he took the prisoner into
custody. On searching him he found 2d. and a knife on
his person.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING} GOODS BY FRAUD.—Northen Gray, clerk,
of 22 Bywater-street, Chelsea, was charged with stealing a
carpet, of the value of £2, from No. 8, Burlington-street,
there being other charges mentioned to be brought forward
against him of obtaining goods by fraud.
Mrs. Hannah Kirkman, in charge of the house, 8,
Burlington-street, said the prisoner called and asked for a
carpet about the sth October. She asked him why he did
not bring Mr. Evendon, the owner with him, and the pri-
soner replied, "Oh it's all right, you know me." He took
away the carpet. •

Mr. Evendon, in charge of chambers, 57, Pall-mall, said
the carpet was his property, and of the value of £2. He
never authorised the prisoner to fetch it from Burlington-
street. On the sth of October he employed the prisoner to
fetch away another carpet, but never told the prisoner to
‘fetch the other.

Butcher, 137 C, said that on the previous night he went
to prisoner's residence, and had to get into his room by
means of a ladder, the prisoner refusing to let him in. He
found the duplicate relating to the carpet ; and had other
cases he should be able to bring against the prisoner—one
of obtaining £36 worth of wine in the name of a gentleman
residing at 35, Duke-street, St. James's.
Remanded.

THAMES.

STRANGB APPLICATION.—A middle aged woman Caßle
before Mr. Selfe and said she wanted a summons against
an artist named Niblett, of Charles-street, St. George-in-
the-East, for unlawfully and against her will taking a model
of her arm.

Mr. Selfe—How did he do that, my good woman ?
The applicant baring her right arm, a plump and round
one, said, " You see that arm:?"

Mr. Selfe—Yes, what is the matter with it?

The applicant—Well, sir, that arm ;;;;;sting on my
pillow on Tuesday night last, and the f artist came into my
bedroom and took a model of it. He brought a light with
him, and he could not have finished it until the morning.
He says it is worth £5 to him, and he has been abusing me
ever since.

Mr. Selfe—You must have slept very soundly to enable
an artist to have taken a model of your arm.
The applicant—Well, sir, I went to bed between eight
and nine o'clock, and the artist began to take a model of my
arm. Toprevent
and worked at my needle until twelve o'clock. I laid down
again,and he
went
on him
withdoing so,
I got up at ten o'clock
modelling. I felt I could
dg
his
not move, and when he finished the model he said, " Now,
my sleeping beauty, I have it, and you can't help yourself.
It was only your elbow I wanted.” My husband was
lying alongside of me, and I could not wake him.
Mr. Selfe—That will do. I will send an officer to
make inquiries about this.

The applicant, who was evidently labouring under some
delusion, though as calm es possible, left the court.
A BATCH :OF BAD HUSBAND,.—James Hayes, a
mechanic, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged under the
Vagrant Act, with
_leaving his wife and four young chil-
dren, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of St.
George-in-the-East. Mr. Ralston, one of the relieving
officers of the parish, produced a printed list of bad
husbands who had deserted their wives and families. A
reward of was offered for the apprehension of each. Mr.
Ralston said the maintenance of deserted wives and chil-
dren were a great burthen. Upwards of 100 women and
children abandoned by those who were legally and morally
bound to maintain them were supported out of the pariah
rates. The prisoner deserted his wife and family four
months ago, and they had been maintained ever since
at the expense of the parish. On a former
occasion the prisoner deserted his wife and children and
was brought before the Magistrate, and committed to
prison for a month.

For the Cambridgeshire Stakes there is but little change
in the front division. 11 to 2in hundreds was taken a few
times about Henham Lass ; and Asteroid, Confectioner,
and Limeflower were very freely supported, especially the
latter, about whom all the 10's to 1 that were offered were
readily taken. Ivanhoff was in some request, but we did
not see less than 25 to 1 booked. Mutineer came with a
rush, but the limit to• day appeared to be 100 to 3, and there
is every appearance of his seeing a less figure than that.
