POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 6.

GIIILDHALL.—Sir R. W. Carden, the sitting
magistrale, said he had receivei the following
letter and circular from Mr. Johnson, of Bristol :
" 6th July, 1857,

" Sir,—A few days since I took the liberty of for•
warding a circular and list that had been sent to my
sons, who, I am sorry to say, have lost much money in
the betting circles, and my desire has long been to check
such evil propensities. A faw hours after I had sent off
that letter the enclosed came to my house. I trust your
worship will pardon me for again troubling you, as my
object in doing so is to show your worship that, although
yon were so kind as to expose their letters in the paper
a F hor t time, since it appears not to have had the effect
of inducing them to abandon this system of getting
money :
(Copy of circular.) _

" Dear Sir,—lt is unnecessary for us to recapitulate
our reasons for adopting the same course over the
Goodwood Stakes' which was attended with so much
advantage over the various other races ; suffice it
to say, that through the kindness of a nobleman
we are prepared to back the absolute winner, and
we seize the earliest moment of apprising you, in
order that you may remit the amount you wish to
invest, which, however, must not be less than 21. We
shall pursue the same course as on previous occasions.
We can strongly recommend you to invest liberally ; the
odds will be very gond, and the horse will win. To secure
these odds, however, you must reply immediately.
" The winnings will be remitted the following Mon.

day.
• It is unnecessary for us to observe that the same
feelings prompt us on this as on the last occasion your
benefit only. This would be frustrated were we to adopt
any other course, and when we have a good thing we
must be cautious not to endanger its success by publi-
city.

" ' We are, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
" 'H. and C.

" ' P.S, Orders payable to Henry Howard, post•
office, Coventry-street, Soho. Bank notes may be sent
by letter with perfect security.' "

Sir R. W. Carden said it was a lamentable thing
that such places should be allowed to exist, and be
hoped the master of the post office in Coventry-
street was not aware that he was lending himself to
such nefarious transactions by taking in letters for
these persons, as he had done during the last five
years, and he trusted the Postmaster-General
would devise some means to prevent the mischief
arising from such practices on the part of post-
office keepers.
