POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(I74IB Day.)

BOW-STREET.

THE LATE MURDER ON BOARD THE LAMMERGIER.—
Myers, the second mate, was brought up on remand,
charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the
property of the murdered Captain Adams.
Mr. Darker, the solicitor for the prosecution, said he had
to inform the magistrate, who had some doubt about the
point on the last examination, that he had been informed
the powers conferred by the Extradition Treaty with respect
to criminals extended to witnesses. He hsd communicated
with the American Minister, and negotiations were at present
going on with respect to the subject, with the Government.
Mr. Henry said he felt certain no such power as that re-
ferred to by Mr. Darker existed. Perhaps he could get
over the difficulty by getting the prisoner voluntarily to
America.

Mr. Darker said he had positively refused to go.
Mr. Young (who appeared for the prisoner) said he had
no doubt his client would go to the United States.
Mr. Darker—The prisoner has told me he will not go,
and it is simply ridiculous to send a prisoner for trial with-
out witnesses to support the charge. The evidence of
Myers was of the greatest importance.
Mr. Henry—Will he not go voluntarily 1'
Mr. Darker—He says he will not go as a witness. He
has stated that he is a Southerner and owes no allegiance
to the United States.

Mr. Young—l think he will go. I don't imagine there
will be any difficulty about it, as he has a wife and family
in America, and he tells me he attended every sitting of the
inquest. He says he is anxious to get out of this country.
Mr. Henry—lf ho is tried in this country for the robbery
which it is clearly proved he had committed, he would
most certainly be most severely punished. I think you had
better ask him if he will comply with the advice of his soli-
citor and go to America.
. .

Mr. Darker then had an interview with the prisoner in
the jailor's room, and the result was, that the prisoner con-
sented to go to America.
Mr. Henry said the Inspector of the Thames Police could
still keep the prisoner in his custody until the ship sailed
which was to convey him to America.

Inspector Cox said the vessel sailed to-morrow (Satur-
day).

Mr. Henry—Very well, then, you can take him down to
the docks and see him safely aboard. If he offers the
slightest resistance, or attempts to throw any impediment
in the way, you can bring him back to this court and he
will be dealt with for the robbery, which there is no doubt
he had committed.

The prisoner was then removed from court in custody of
Inspector Cox.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING REVOLVERFL—James Edward Hudson was
charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing two revolvers,
of the value of £9, the property of Mr. Egg, gunmaker,
No. 1, Piccadilly.

Mr. Egg said prisoner left his service in January, and
two days afterwards he missed two revolver pistols from
the counting-house. He then went to the prisoner's
mother, who said he had gone away, but that he was a
waiter at the Alhambra. Found him this morning in cus-
tody of the police. The value of the pistols was £9.
Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, said he went to 14, St. Martin's-
street, and found the prisoner in bed. Told him he must
go with him for robbing his master, Mr. Egg, and on
saying he wanted the pistols, prisoner said he had sold
them to Mr. Wood, of Bow-street, gunmaker. He then
took Mr. Egg to Mr. Wood, who said be bought them of
the prisoner for £2 10s. each, and showed the book. This
was in the prisoner's presence.

Mr. Edmund Wood, theatrical armourer, said he bought
the revolvers of the prisoner on the 2d of January, 1861,
and in December, 1860.

Mr. Egg said the prisoner had only been in his service
three months, and left without notice.
Prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for four months,
with hard labour.
