MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 30.
George Brown, 24, was indicted for having stolen
a handkerchief, value 23. 6d., the property of Mr.
George Hart, from his person.
The prosecutor stated that on the 23d inst. he was
walking in the Strand, and observed two men fol-
lowing him. Shortly afterwards he felt a tug at his
pocket, and immediately missed his handkerchief.
He turned round, and then saw the prisoner putting
the handkerchief under his coat, upon which he
seized him and gave him into custody. The prisoner
begged as a favour teat he (the prosecutor) would
" punch his head and let him go ;" but this he re-
fused to do, and the handkerchief was found in his
possession.

The prisoner, in his -defencersaid, as he was pas-
sing along, a man coming in an opposite direction
ihri,w the handkerchief at him, and that it stuck in
the, flip of his coat, but that ha was entirely innocent
of the robbery.
The L9arned JUDGE said he would leave tha pro-
bability of this defence entirely in the hands of the
jury.

The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE—WeII, Mr. Brown, I believe
that I have Aeon you before ? Prisoner —Ye:, I was
found guilty of stealing a teacaddy.
The Learned JUDGE—And I suppose you were as
innocent then as you are now ? Prisoner—Why, no,
I can't say that, but I am innocent now, at any rate.
The Learned JUDGE—I shall now commit you for
eight months' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard
labour; and you will understand the next time you
come here you will be transported.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
A middle-aged man named Edward Cooke, who
has been about fourteen years employed as a letter-
carrier in the General Post-office, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with stealing a letter
containing a marked half-sovereign, the property of
the Postmaster- General.

Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, conducted
the prosecution.

Mr. Walter R. Sculthorpe, a president of the Lon-
don district, stated, that in consequence of complaints
being made recently of cash letters being missed from
the Tottenham post-office, which had not reached
their destination, he wrote the letter produced on Sa-
turday last, at a quarter-past two o'clock, addressed
"Mary Anne England, Terrace, near Clifton Baths,
Margate, Kent," enclosing a half-sovereign, which he
Marked in the presence of Mr. Cole, inspector of
letter carriers, and gave to Peake, the officer, with
instructions, in obedience to which it would have
reached Tottenham North-office at seven o'clock, and
would, in the regular course, have been sent to the
principal office at Tottenham, where it would have
arrived about twenty minutes before ten o'clock for
the dispatch bag to. London. Witness stopped the
mail bag at Stamford-hill, and took out the Totten-
ham and London bag, in which the letter ought to
have been, and, having examined it at the post-office
of that place, he could not find it, in consequence of
which he went to the principal office at Tottenham,
where he met the prisoner at 35 minutes past 10
o'clock, coming out with the letters for delivery, and
being asked if he had not cut open the North-office
bag, he replied "No, but it was Bower, another letter-
carrier," and admitted having assisted in sorting the
letters. Witness told him that a letter had been mis-
sing, for which he should be searched, and upon Peake
proceeding to do so, he took the identical letter from
the left-hand pocket of his official coat, upon which
witness inquired how he accounted for the possession
of it, and he replied that he was not aware of having
it in his pocket.

The prisoner said he did not know of the letter
being in his pocket, and he never saw it until it was
taken out by the officer.
He was committed to Newgate for trial.
CHARGE OP ASSAULT.—Theodore Staines, a tall
young man, whose upper lip was covered with mou-
stache, and who was described on the police-sheet as
the editor of the Weekly Times newspaper, was placed
at the bar, charged with assaulting Robert George, a
carpenter, and also constable 98 F in the execution of
his duty. _ _

It appeared from the evidence that the complainant
George was walking home along Long-acre, about
eleven o'clock, when the prisoner, who was much in-
toxicated, struck him a violent blow with the huge
walking-stick produced on the head, which stunned
him, and the constable who happened to come up at
the momen+, having apprehended him while iu con-
versation with a girl of the town, he not only as-
saulted him with the game stick, but kicked him
severely on the way to the station.
The prisoner said he was quite unconscious of
hash-1g acted in the manner described, and hoped that
his colleagues of the press, as he termed the reporters,
would not give publicity to the nature of the charge.
Mr. JARDINE said that drunkenness was one of the
worst excuses that could be made for such miscon-
duct, and ordered him to pay a fine of 30s. or fourteen
days for the first assault, and for striking the con-
stable seven dap' imprisonment without the option of
paying a fine.

CLERKENWELL.
William Steadman, William Jones, and George
Newman, respectably-dressed young men, were placed
at the bar, charged by Mr. Archer, of No. 2, Green
Arbour-buildings, Moorfields, with having conspired
to defraud him of 91.
It appeared, from the evidence of the prosecutor,
that on Saturday, between twelve and one o'clock, he
was accosted by the prisoner Steadman, whom he had
known for many years, and after some conversation
Jones made his appearance, and said he was inti-
mately acquainted with witness's father, and in-
vited him to have something to drink. They pro•
seeded to a house in the City-road, where they saw the
prisoner Newman standing before the bar drinking
brandy-and-water, who also claimed acquaintanceship
with witness's father, and, rattling some sovereigns
in his pocket, said that a rich old aunt had left him
a considerable sum of money, and there was nothing
like sticking to brandy-and-water, and advised wit-
ness to have some. He then asked Jones to pay for
some. Jones refused, saying he would have no ob-
jection to play at " knock 'em downs," and they went
to a public-house near Goswell-street, when it was
proposed to play for a bottle of wine and a sovereign
and Jones asked him to go ten shillings with him,
which he consented to do, and he lost. They sub-
sequently went to other public-houses, where skittles
were introduced, and they induced witness to pledge
his watch and lose money to the amount of 9/.
.and
upwards, and he Agreed to meet them again and play
for 20/. ; and feeling satisfied that he had been duped
by the prisoners, he consulted with Senzeent Ilirvey,
14 G, who, with Reeve and Hawkins, 424 K and 191
G, took the prisoners into custody.
Harvey and the •._,t her .111,!ors identified the pri-
goo- rs as ,kirtle sh ,rps.

They- were ordere:i to put it their own recogni •
zances in 1001. each to appear on a future day to
answer the charge.
Eliza Slater, aged 55, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Combo, charged in. the police-sheet with having
