POLICE INTELLIGENCE..
-41ANsiON-iioUSE.
A young man, who stated his name to be Henry Sage, and
his profession tc be that-of a surgeon, was brought before Sir
Peter Laurie, charged by Mr. Roberts, of the banking-house
of Curtis, Roberts, and Co., under the following remarkable
circumstances :
Mr. Robarts 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 she had drawn for 30/.
upon the -house in Lombard-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 thCcounter by the prisoner, who gave so lame an account
of the manner in which he became possessed of it that it was
considered proper to give him into custody.
Sir PETER LaumE--Perhaps the. gentleman will give me
an intelligible explanation. Pray, Sir, where did you get
this cheque? Defeldant--4 had it of two Frenehmen whom I
saw in Lombard-street.
Sir PETER LAURIE--HOW did 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 Ps LAMM—And so you took it from them to get the
• cash for them? Defendant—Yes. I saw they did not un-
derstand the business, •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, anik.saw what passed.
Sir P. LAURlE—Wheire were they when you went into the
banking-house? Defendant—They were outside.
Sir P. LAURIE—Of course, finding that you have got into
such a dilemma by your good 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 don'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 you give time.
Sir P. LAtrant—lt Would appear that theihave left you
to your. fate.
Defendant— I have not the least doubt that they will come
forward.
Sir P. LAURIE.—WeII, I shall remand you until your
friends appear to give their explanation of the affair. Of
course, they wilinot hesitate to come forward on such an oc-
casion.--The defendant was then remanded.
MARLBOROUGH-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 1,000/. promissory notes
from Lord Charles Fitzroy, with which he had been entrusted
by his Lordship te 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
ilouse. '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, 1 saw Alves on the Ist February.
went to, his office, which was en 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 2,000/. drawn on me ? Alves
gave me two bills ready prepared. I put my name to them,
but I cannot recollect whether I wrote the body of the bills.
Alves gave 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 Piccadilly on the Friday
following for the money. X 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 2001. I wrote
an answer, requesting Alves to meet me the following Wed-
nesday. '
Mr. Clarkson here asked the Magistrate if it was necessary
to give the aceused 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. Received a 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 made no subsequent appointment, but I called at the house
frequently, and always received the same answer, -that Mr.
Alves was out. I went to my solicitor, Mr. Watkins, in
Sackville-street, and left the 200/. with him to pay to Alves.
Under the advice of my solicitor, I copied the following note
to Me: Alves, to be sent to him :
u Sir—l hire called several times, for the purpose of re-
turning the 2001. 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
1,000/: piomiisory notes, which you obtained from me under
false pretences.-4our obedient servant,

TIME,S.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 'per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. Witt per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 2',
43 ; and the exchange at Paris• on. London at
_shot
being 25 50, it follows • that gold is 0.27 per cen..
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of,
gold is 435
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 1(411
per dunce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 83, it follows. that gold is 0.69 per cent.'
4:learer in namburgh than in • London.
The course of exchange at New York on London
1093 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follow:,
that the' exchange is 0.08 per cent. against England-
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted fron,
the above difference.

I "C. FITZROY."
have never heard anything in reply to this letter. The
bills were for three montha, 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 bilts except the 2001., 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. 111.4urnie asked the accused if he wished to put any
questions to Lord C.. Fitzroy? Prisoner—l only wish to say
that at the 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 and 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 200/. with him.
Ho 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: Fitzroy. Mr. Parry states that, on. the 'l6th of
February, be 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 he had stated; there was sufficient
to remand the prisoner for further inquiry.
Mr. Al-ALTBY asked the prisoner if- he had anything to say
to the 'charge?—The prisoner wanted to know what the
charge was:

Mr. ➢fALTBY said he was charged with stealing two
the property of Lord C. Fitzroy.
The prisoner asked how he could be charged with stealing
two bills; When Lord C. Fitzroy admitted he gave them to
Him ?
. Mr. MALTBY said there wits enough. to justify him in re-
manding the prisoner until Monday next; but be would have
no objection to receive good bail, two sureties in 2501. each,
and the prizianer'lif 500/._The prisoner was then retnoved.
