POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—Dee. 1.

GIIILDHALL.—Fanny Hunt was charged with
smuggling spirits into_Whitecross-street Prison, in
contravention of the regulations.
Hannah Baker, the searcher of females at the
prison, said—When the prisoner applied for ad-
mission this morning I asked her if she had any
spirits about her, and she said she had ; and I took
from her a bottle containing about half a pint of
gin.
Alderman Copeland—WhO does she go to see
there ?
Witness—Two ladies of the names of Honore
and Christian, who were in business together as
milliners in Davies-street, Berkeley-square.
Alderriaan Copeland—,Were you iu their service ?
Prisoner—Yes, sir ; for the last three years.
Witness—She had the bottle tied round her
waist at the back of her stays as a bustle.
Alderman Copeland—Well, I have heard of saw-
dust bustles and crinoline, but I never heard of a gin
bottle bustle.—The magistrate afterwards said it
was evident the young woman was of respectable
character from the time she had served her mis-
tresses. Nevertheless the rules of the prison must
be upheld. He sentenced the prisoner to pay 405.,
or in default to suffer 14 days' imprisonment.
The amount was shortly after paid, having been
sent by the defendant's mistresses.

BOW STREET. —Joseph Clarkson was charged
with obtaining two pieces of damask from Messrs.
Shoolbred and Co., drapers, of Tottenham-court-
road, by means of a forged order, purporting to bo
written by Major Martin, of Upton Court, Worces-
tershire.

Oa Tuesday, 24th Nov., Messrs. Shoolbred re-
ceived through the post a letter, written in a neat
hand, and which ran as follows :
"King-street, St. James's, Nov. 24, 1857.
"Major Martin bought from Messrs. Shoolbred
a short time ago, some damask—the colour green,
with a lace pattern ; but, as it is all used, Major
Martin cannot send a pattern, but will thank Messrs
Shoolbred to select a pattern, as near as possible,
and send two pieces, addressed to him, to the cloak-
room of the Euston-square station, so that his ser-
vant, who will be going down, can take it with him
by the 5.30 train. Major Martin paid 4s. Od. to ss.
per yard for the last pieces."
As Major Martin had been recently supplied with
two pieces of damask such as were described, no
doubt was entertained of the genuineness of the
order, which was accordingly complied with, the
goods being forwarded as directed. Subsequently,
however, it was ascertained that though Major
Martin with his servant did go down to Upton
Court by the train specified, they never received
the goods, nor were they aware of their existence.
The order was in fact a forgery, and the damask
was received at the cloak-room by some person
passing himself off for the major's servant. Under
these circumstances Messrs. Shoolbred consulted
their solicitor, Mr. Chamberlayne, who placed the
case in the hands of Inspector Checkley (E division),
who discovered on inquiry that the goods had been
pledged for 51. 102, by the prisoner at the bar. The
latter was apprehended on Monday night, and at
once identified by the pawnbroker. Remanded.

' CLERKENWELL.—A respectably attired man
who gave the same of Evan Crutchley, but who is
known under the alias of Jones, described on the
charge-sheet as of no occupation, but who, it was
stated, was a surgeon residing at 11, Compton-
street East, Regent-square, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Corrie, charged with passing, by false
pretences, to Mr. Philip Lyon, the landlord of the
Wellington Tavern, Brook street, Holborn, a forged
cheque for the sum of 41.155. on 30th March last.
Mr. Lewis attended for the prosecution.
The prosecutor stated that he carried on business
at the Wellington Tavern, Brook-street, Holborn,
and on
e3to
o t in the present year, the
prisoner hMaishrh,
ocuse, about ten at night, and
wl
asked him to cash a cheque for the sum of 4/. 155.,
or by Mr. W. Greene, and
pdautrepdllng vert,oMbaercdhr2awB,n and drawn on the London
and County Bank, London. The prosecutor said he
did not like cashing cheques, but if the prisoner
would leave it with him he would pass it through
his bankers', and then he should have the money.
The prisoner said that would not do, as he wanted
the money that night for his mother to go out of
town with. He hesitated and examined the cheque,
and then asked the prisoner who was Mr. Greene,
the di awer of the cheque, when he replied ho was a
friend of his, and was an officer of the 42d High-
landers, then quartered at Dover. Upon asking the
prisoner how he knew that it was Mr. Greene's
writing, he said that M. r. Greene was a friend of
his, and that he know it to be his writing. Seeing
the name of " Hall" also endorsed on the back of
the cheque, the prosecutor asked who he was, when
he was informed he was a respectable engineer. The
prosecutor then let him have 2/. on account of the
cheque, saying he should have the balance when the
cheque had passed. The cheque next day was paid
into the London and Westminster Bank, and the
prisoner shortly afterwards called and said he must
thenver pmaiudchhiwman2tl.edutsh.e:r
money.prosecutor he
have the
Thebalanc e,
deducting Is. charged foradvice on country cheques.
The next day the cheque was returned to the pro-
secutor, and marked "no account." A communi-
cation was then made with Mr. Greene, at Dover,
and that gentleman stated that he did not know the
prisoner or any one connected with him. The pri-
soner had since then kept out of the way until he
was apprehended by police-constable Tyler, 42 G.
The prisoner, in defence, said that ho was not
guilty of passing the cheque knowing it was forged,
for the 'party who had given it to him was his own
brother. He would sooner have had his fingers cut
off than have passed the note had he known it was
forged.

Lswis here asked for a remand, and stated
that most likely other charges would be forth-
coming against him.

Mr:Corrie remanded the prisoner until Monday
next.

Mr. J. Wakeling, who was afterwards instructed
by the prisoner, applied for bail, but Mr. Corrie,
at this stage of the proceedings declined to take
any.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Richard Burt,
one of a number of "bucks" who nightly infest the
principal West-end cab stands, was charged before
Mr. Beadon with stealing a horse and cab, belong-
ing to Henry Luce, a cabman, residing at 26, Foley-
mews, Russell-square.
It appeared that on Sunday night last the prose-
cutor left his horse and cab in the care of the pri-
soner on the rank in the Haymarket, while he went
to procure some refreshment. After an absence of
ten minutes he returned to the rank, when to his
great surprise he found both horse and cab had dis-
appeared. He made inquiries of some cabmen, and
was informed that the prisoner had been seen to
take up a fare and drive off as fast as he could.
Prosecutor, after considerable loss of time and trou-
ble, eventually traced the prisoner to Vinegar-yard,
Drury-lane, and on going there be found the horse
and cab, but not the prisoner. The latter he hap-
pened to meet on Monday night, when he gave him
into custody for stealing the horse and cab.
The prisoner, who stoutly denied the charge, was
fined 51. for the unlawful possession, with an intima-
tion that, if ever be repeated the offence, be would
be sent for trill.

THAMES.—An Indian, who gave the name of
Samboo, but who, on a former oceason, called him-
self May Dun, on another occasion Ali, and at other
Mario. r
times Hassan, Mahomet, and Hydcr Ali, was charged.
with burglaryr and robbery in the house of Harris
prisoner was formerly
a Sepoy, and
then became a Lascar, and assisted in navigating a
skip to Llndon, in which ho ought to have returned
to India, but he desiqed the vessel, became a men-
dioint, and then an utterer of base coin, and lastly a
thief and burglar. In February last the prisoner
was convicted at tho Central Criminal Court, and
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment anti hard
labour for breaking into the prosecutor's house and

stealing a quantity of wearing apparel. The Jpri-
soner committed a robbery directly ho came out fo
priion, was remanded, and on.- his re-examination
the prosecutor was stated to have gone to sea, and
the fellow was discharged.
Mr. Harris Marks now stated that he carried on
business at No. 236, High-street, bhadwell, and was
a clothier and outfitter. He went to bcd on Friday
morning at one o'clock, and ho was aroused from
his sleep at five on the same morning, and found
the parlour window open. The kitchen door was
also unbolted, the skylight over the kitchen broken,
and there was an aperture made sufficiontly large to
admit a man, and enable him to drop into the
kitchen. The shop could be entered from the par-
lour, which was reached from the kitchen. He
missed a jacket, hat, two shirts, two pairs of drawers,
two handkerchiefs, and a pair of spectacles from his
shop. They were all in his shop amongst his stock
when he went to bed at one o'clock on Friday
morning.

In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe,
The prosecutor said that his premises were
broken into and plundered in precisely the same
manner in Jan. last, and the prisoner was convicted
of the same at the ensuing February Sessions.
The prisoner took out a pane of glass in the skylight,
ehtered the kitchen, and found admission to the
shop. A new pane of glass bad been substituted
for the one removed, and the prisoner took that
away or cut it out on Friday morning, and gained
admission to the shop as he•had done before.
Other evidence having been given,
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial for the
burglary and robbery, and ordered that proof of
the former conviction against him should be ten-
dered at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner
was a most dangerous thief, and he hoped he would
not be allowed to prey on society again.
