POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
111.4-N§'ION-HOUSE.

A young man, whd stated his name to be Henry Se4e, and
his profession to be that of a surgeon, was brought before Sir
_ Peter Laurie, charged by Mr. Robarts, of the banking-house
of Curtis, Robarts, and Co., under the following remarkable
-circumstances ts- • .
Mr. Roberts stated that on the afternoon of Monday he
called accidentally upon Mrs. Maddox, his sister, and was
told by her that she had lost a small bag out of her carriage,
' which bag contained a cheque which sh had drawn for 301.
upon the house,: in Lontbard-street. As the cheque was post-
dated he did not suppose that any mischief would arise from
-the finding of it. by any person, but by way of precaution he
wrote to the resident clerk the particulars, and at a little
after nine o'clock on that (Tuesday) morning it was presented
at the counter by the.prisoner, 'who gave so lame au account
of the manner in which he became possessed of it, that it was
considered proper to give him into custody.
, Sir PETER LAURlE—Perhaps the gentleman will give me
an intelligible .explanation. Pray, Sir, where did you get
this cheque? Defendant—l had it of two Frenchmen whom I
saw in Lombard-street.
' 'Sir PETER LAURIE-7410w (lid you happen to meet them ?
,Defendant—l did, not meet them. They were standing toge-
ther in the street, and they had the cheque, and did not ap-
pear to know where the banking-house was, and I looked at
the cheque and pointed it out to them.
Sir P. Lautum--sAtid so you- took it from them to get the
Cash for 'them? • Defendant—Ye.s. • I saw they did not un-
derstand the buslness, and I went into the banking-house.
They were both behind me at the time. One of them was
close to me. There were' two gentlemen, friends of mine, who
were with me at the time, and saw what passed.
. Sir P. LAURIE—Where were they when you went into the
banking-house? Defendant—They were outside.
Sir I'. LAURIE—Of course finding that you have got into
-'inch a dilemma by your go-od` nature, they are hear to bear
-testimony to the correctness of your statement.
Defendant—l dare say they are. ,
Here Sir P. LAURIE directed that the names of the two
gentlemen should be called. There was no answer.
Defendant—Perhaps they dbn't know that I am in custody.
Sir P. LAURIE—Oh, yes they do. They ought to be
here. Now,- I am giving you the fairest opportunity, by-
asking you these questions, to clear yourself- from all impu-
tation. If I were in your situation and you in mine, I should
feel very much obliged to you for similar treatment.
Defendant—l am obliged to you, I assure you. I see that
there is a necessity for investigation, and my friends will ap-
pear here if yon give time.
Sir P. LAURIE—It would appear that they have left you
to your fate.
Defendants.; I have not the least doubt that they will come
forward.
Sir P. LAutties—Well, I shall remand you until your
friends appear to give their explanation of the affair. Of
course, they will not hesitate to come forward on such an oc-
casion.—The defendant was then remanded.
411ARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Inspector. Pearce, of.the A.division, who has been employed
in several cases of fraudulent bill discounting, yesterday suc-
ceeded in apprehending John Alves, a person who stands
charged with having stolen two 1,0001. promissory notes
from Lord Charld Fitzroy, with which he had been entrusted
by'his Lordship to get discounted.
The prisoner is known to the police as an acquaintance of
the well-known John Minter'Hart, and an associate of Cooke,
Prescott, and others, engaged in the same pursuits.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Watkins accompanied Lord Charles
Fitzroy into Court as his Lordship's professional advisers.
Mr. Clarkson addressed the Bench, and stated the prin-
cipal circumstances detailed afterwards in evidence;
• Lord Charles Fitzroy examined—l reside at' this moment
at'Medhurst, in Sussex, when in town I live at Burlington
House. I was not acquainted with Alves until I received the
letter of the 19th January. I wrote an answer and addressed
it to No. 24, Piccadilly. I saw Alves on the Ist February.
I. went to his office, which was pn the first floor, and I saw
• some pictures in the room, to 'which he called my attention.
The proposition made to me was to procure 2,000/. at 25 per
cent; I demurred and left the room, but called again next
day. I agreed to take the money On Alves's terms. Alves
asked me if it would 'be more convenient to have two bills
for 1,000/. each,. than one of 2,0004 drawn on me ? Alves
gave me two billi'reatly prepared. I put my name to them,
but I cannot recollect whether I wrote the body of the bills.
Alves gaye me a letter of acknowledgment. I would not
_have parted with the bills without this letter. In the faith
that I was to receive the money, less the discount, I con-
sented to part with the securities. Alves put the letter into
-my hands, and I saw' him previously write it. I have no
doubt the first letter I received was written by Alves. It
was arranged that I was to call in•Piecaffilly on the Friday
,following for the money. I went and waited an hour, but
Alves was not within. I left word I had gone to the United
Service Club; and went away. I went out of town, and the
next morning I received a letter containing 200/. I wrote
an atiswer, requesting Alves to meet me the following Wed-
nesday. •
Mr. Clarkson here asked the Magistrate if it was necessary
to give the accused notice at once to produce the answer
The prisoner said it was not necessary, as he was willing-to
produce the letters.
.• Lord C. Fitzroy continued—On Wednesday I went to Pic-
cadilly. • Receivola letter in the handwriting of Alves. It
was to the effect, that the writer was extremely sorry he
could not see me 'at the appointed hour, but if I would -make
another appointment he would attend to it, and would pay
the balance of the notes into my banker's hands if I wished.
'I tnade no subsequent appointment, but I called at the house
freiptently,
‘and always received the same answer, that Mr.
Alves was out. • I went to my solicitor, Mr. Watkins, in'
Sackville-street, and left the 2001: with him to pay to Alves.
Under the advice of my solicitor, I copied the following note
to-Mr. Alves, to be sent to him
Sir—l have called several times, for the purpose of re-
turning the 200 E which you sent me. I decline the money,and have deposited it with my solicitor, in whose hands it
now is; and I must further.request you to give up the two
1,0001. promissory notes,' which you obtained from me under
false pretenees.—YoUr obedient servant, •

•
I have never heard anything -in reply to this IeFITZROYtter. The
bills were for three months, and, until they became due, I
heard nothing more of either them or AlVes. Before the bills
became due I came to this Court for advice. I have received
nothing on .the bit's except the 200/4 and no money has been
paid into my banker's hands. In consequence of suggestions
from my professional adviser, I have-filed a bill against Mr.
Parry, who holds one of the bills, and another against a per-
son named Cooke. •
• Mr. MALTBY asked the accused if he wished to put any
questions to Lord C. Fitzroy? Prisoner—l only wish to Msay.
that at e first appointment I got to Piccadilly before one'
o'clock, and. finding, his Lordship gone I went to the club,
and afterwards to the railway, but it was too late. With
this exception the 'statement of Lord Charles Fitzroy is
correct.
Mr. Clarkson—There was plenty of time between the 16th
Of February anti now to have seen -Lord C. Fitzroy.
• Mr. Watkins, solicitor, proved that the letter was sent to
24, Piccadilly, and that his Lordship left the 2001. with him.
He had called several times, but had never been able to see
Alves.
'Mr. Clarkson said he was bound in fairness to state that he
held in his hand* the answer of Mr. Parry to the bill filed by
Lord C. Fitzro. 31r: Parry states that, on the 16th of
February, lie gave to Alves 600/. in two cheques, 300/. worth
of pictures, and took-100/ discount for one of the promissory
notes. He did not mean to make this evidence at present.'
Under the Circumstances lie had stated, there .was sufficient
to remand the prisoner for further inquiry.
Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner if he had anything to saw
to the charge P—The prisoner wanted to know what the
charge was. • •
Mr. MALTBY-said he was charged with stealing two bills,
the•property of Lord C. Fitzroy.
The prisoner asked how hncould be charged with stealing
two bills, when Lord C. Fitzroy admitted he gave them to
him?
Mr. MAL/I'BY said there was enough to justify him in re-
manding the prisoner until Monday ne.lst, but he would haVe
no objection to redeive good bail, two suretiesln 2501. each,
and the prisoner. in 5001.—The prisoner was then removed.

. ROYAL- COMMISSION OF FINE
ARTS.
In addition to the selection of six artists to execute designs -
for frescos' in the new Houses of Parliament, it will be seen
from the subjoined document, issued only yesterday, that ber
Majesty's Commissioners of Fine Arts have chosen three
sculptors from among- the number contributing to, the exhi-
bition in Westminster Hall, whoM they recommend for em-
ploy mein Os such Ankrlia as may •lam hersantr-requirect fur ttre
purposes of decoration •in the new Palace.
• The letter runs thus :

. -
.
• " Whitehall, July 9, 1844.
" We, the undersigned, - having inspected the Models for
sculpture submitted to u,s.in Westminster Hallrare of opinion
that the exhibition is highly, creditable to the country. We
.Irave recorded our- judgment on the merit of many of the
works of the exhibitors, but not being at present in posses-
Sion of sufficient information as to the extent of the decora'•:.
thus. in sculpture which may be considered desirable in the
PalaCe at 'Westminster, or as to the time when such decora-1
