POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHOE-BLACKS AND THIEVES.—THE WAY STREET
ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED.—Two lads, carrying on the
business of street shoe-blacks, and who gave the names of
George Wenman and Edward Lynch, were charged as fol-
lows:

It appears that a working man living in Crown-street,
Soho, was passing along Oxford-street, late at night, when
the prisoners got one on each side of him, and he was sud-
denly thrown to the ground, and while there he felt some
one at his trousers pocket. At this moment Sergeant Clif-
ford, 9 G, came up, having been watching the prisoners, and
took them into custody, after seeing them put their hands
into the man's pockets.
Lambert, 68 G, said he had known Wenman for four
years and &half, and he had been convicted summarily eight
or nine times for attempts and. picking pockets. He had
the character of being one of the cleverest thieves in St.
Giles's. About six months ago he took to the business of
a shoeblack, stationing himself at the corner of a street,
and while ho was there there were about 60 complaints of
" snatch" robberies, the practice
,being for three or four
lads to get round the prisoner, and as soon as they saw a
lady come up one of them snatched her reticule or bag,
and then all made off. He had one of the prisoner's com-
panions for a rubbery of the kind at the time. He know
the other prisoner as a companion of thieves, bat did not
knsw whether he had been convicted.
Mr. Beadon committed them far three months each, with
a promise of six months next time.
It is almost unnecessary to state that the prisoners are
not connected with the shoeblack brigade.

CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE.

Henry Wright, a young man, was charged with the
following extraordinary conduct at the Queen's Theatre,
Tottenham Court Road.

Mr. Charles James James, of 215, Euston Road, the
lessee of the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham Court Road,
said that in the middle of a piece the previous evening,
the defendant left the stalls where he was sitting, climbed
over the orcliiestra, and mounting the stage, to the aston-
ishment of the audience began dancing, creating consider-
able excitement and a great disturbance. The defendant,
however, had since expressed great contrition.
Defendant said he was very sorry. He was never in such
a disgraceful position before.,
Mr. Beadon said it was a very serious offence. It threw
the place into confusion, and if pickpockets were present
would be taken advantage of by them. If it was repeated it
must be stopped, and that with a high hand. He should
order the defendant to enter into his own recognisance for
three months, and he would strongly athase him not to do
it again,

The defendant again expressed contrition at his foolish
act.
