POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

BURGLARY IN THE ClTY.—Gao:•ge Sinclair, 17 years of
age, and Alfred Smith, 23, were charged before Alder-
man Sir R. W. Carden, M.P., with breaking into the
warehouse of Mr. R. Penning, wholesale boot and shoe
manufacturer, 11, Queen-street, and stealing therefrom
a quantity of boots and shoes.
It appeared from the evidence of William Kempe, a
young man in the employ of Mr. Croi<er, printer, occu-
pying the third floor of the same premises, that Sinclair
was an apprentice of Mr. Croker's, and Smith occasion-
ally worked for him. On Mr. Ceuker'e premises dogs
are kept for security, but from their being lc own
to the prisoners is probably the cause of their giving
no alarm on the prisoners entering the premises.
On Saturday night witness doulde locked the front pas-
sage door; and on Sunday morning, when he went to
feed the dogs, he found the door was only single locked.
That excited his suspicions, and he requested his friend
who was with him to remaine at the door, whilst he
went up stairs to see if anything was wrong ; in the
passage, near the stairs adjoining Mr. Fenning's ground
floor warehouse and over his cellar, he noticed that
two boards had been taken up, leeving a space eufficint
for a man to enter. He then went back, locked the
door, and asked his friend to go up stairs with him. He
did so, and as tbey went up stairs witness pushed the
water-closet door open, but no one was there ; he then
wentto Mr. Croke?' door, which he found had been braken
open, and on looking into the cutting elacbine, he saw
a quantity of boots and shoes ; his friend heard a noise
in the loft over, and witness called out "George, who's
there!" having a suspicion that it was the prisoner
Sinclair. No answer was returned, and they went down
stairs, witness watching the premises whilst his friend
went for policeman. Police-constablee 452, 454, and
others came, and they all west up stairs. Witness's
friend on going up pushed the water-closet door, and
finding it would not open, he called their attention to it,
when one of the policemen burst the door (pen, and
there found the prisoners with a carpet-bag belonging
to Smith containing 10 pairs of women's bouts, 4 pairs
of children's boots, and 3 pairs of children's shoes.
Police-constable 464 deposed that after the prisoners
were taken into custody, they were searched, and on
Sinclair, besides other things, were found, a key that
fitted the carpet-bag, and a number of Lucifer matches ;
at Smith's residence, at Kennington, were found, under
the bed, 10 pairs of women's boots and also come men's
boots and shoes.
Police constable 452 deposed that in Mr. Croker's
room were found, packed up, 30 pairs of women's boots,
4 of men's ditto, 4 pairs of children's shoes, 5 pairs of
children's boots, and 5 pairs of women's dippers. There
were also found a bundle of shirts. On searching Smitb,
amcngst o her things he found a key of a carpet-bag and a
front-door key, which opened and locked easily the pas-
sage-door of the premises in question. The robbery was
effected by entering the cellar from the passage. On a
bench near the boots in Mr Croker's room, he found a
hammer, pair of pinchers, and a screwdriver.
A young man in the employ of Mr. Finning deposed
that they had been continually losing goods for the last
two years. He identified most of the ariicles pro-
duced, and valued them at 101. His employers stock
was so large, that it was imposeible to detect the loss of
so small a quantity.
The prisoners, who declined saying anything, were
committed for trial.
