POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

G UILD HALL. ---Stra ISINCILASS.—Mr. Stroheeher, a
grocer, in Fore-street, Cripplegate, appeared before Sir PETER
',AMUs yesterday, upon summons, for having sold to Mr. Draper,
of Brunswick-row, Hackney, about 6lbs. weight of a spurious
substance, apparently skin, or sheep's guts, as genuine Isinglass.
The complainant said he had known Mr. Strohecker six and
.twenty years, and happening to call upon him in May last, Mr.
Strohecker mentioned that he had been buying some isinglass a
day or two before, and should like to hear of a good customer,
Witness took an ounce as a sample to a friend, who used the article
in his business, and having struck a bargain with him, returned
to Mr. Strohecker and purchased the blb:,_at 10s. or 10s. 6d.

per pound. His friend did not discover till October, that, instead
of being genuine fish glue, it was something of the nature of
fiddle strings, transparent, but insoluble in water, let the pot boil
ever so vigorously, and sending forth a nauseous smell as soon as
het water was poured over it. The whole lot was thrown back
upon witness's hands, and witness was now desirous that Mr.
Strohecker should return him the price given, or change the spuri-

one for a genuine article.
Mr. Strohecker, in reply, said, the complainant had been a
grocer from his infancy, and was, therefore, competent to make a
bargain for the article.
Sir PETER—Do you admit you sold this stuff for isinglass
Mr. Strohecker--Ile knew he could not be buying the best sort.
Sir PETER—My question was, did you sell this article as
isinglass ?—Mr. Strohecker--I bought it as such.
Sir PETER—As to not being the best sort, it appears it is not
isinglass at all ; and if you did represent it to be so, I think your
common sense will tell you, that the money must be refunded, and
I recommend you to settle the matter.
Mr. Strohecker replied, that the complainant made his bargain
deliberately enough, and must, therefore, abide by it.
Mr. ])raper declared, that he had never beard of any such a
thing as imitation isinglass, and the deception was so good that any
body would be hoaxed by the appearance. Mr. Strohecker ad-
mitted, lie had 401bs. more of the same article, which he had
purchased six years ago, of a man who goes about to grocers, con-
fectioners, makers of mock pearls, wine-merchants, and other
dealers in isinglass, exchanging some of this spurious stuff for
their goods.
- - - - -

Sir PETRY. calling for some explanation as to this lot of 401b5.,
Mr. Strohecker said, he purchased the bibs. now produced of
a hawker, who had, six years ago, "taken him in," with the
lot of 40Ibs. spoken of, which he had shown to a druggist in Lon-
don-wall, and was pronounced to be a mixture of genuine and
imitation isinglass.

Sir Perim replied, that with this knowledge Mr. Strolseeker,
he feared, had sold the article to Mr. Draper for the genuine pro-

paration, when he knew it was not; and if so, lie lied commit-
ted a fraud. However, the substitution was not one calculated
to affect the public health, like the mixing of sloe-leaves with
tea, or of stone-dust with flour, which might pass undetected ;
and it was therefore not so necessary for him to interfere. He
should not call upon Mr. Strohecker to find bail, but he would
still lie open to an indictment if Mr. Draper should be so advised
to pursue him.—The parties then withdrew.
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday John Bailey, Richard Hig-
gins, and Paul Pierce, three of the Kentish smugglers, under-
went an examination before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE ; the two
latter prisoners charged with having been concerned in the mur-
der of Richard Morgan, a Preventive Service man, at Dover, on
the 29th of July ; and the first-named prisoner with having as-
sembled on another occasion with others, for the illegal purpose of
running contraband goods.
Mr. HORACE Twins and Mr. JONES, the Solicitor to the Ad-
miralty, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. LartattAlt for the
prisoners. .

The prisoners, and another smuggler,' named Edward Pantry,
who was since turned approver, were apprehended by Bishop and
Smith, two of the principal officers of this establishment, on the
night of Monday, the 13th inst. They resided at Lockage, in
Romney Marshes, about eight miles from Hythe ; and the of-
firers and a body of armed seamen, by whom they were accom-
panied, were obliged to walk nearly twice that distance, in a
drenching rain, and through pools of water in which they were
frequently immersed up to the waist,. in order to take them by
surprise, nod prevent any possibility of a resistance.
The first witness called was Michael Pickett, a Preventive Ser-
vice man, and one of those who gave evidence against the smug-
glers committed from this office a short time since, for being con-
cerned in the same transactions, in which the prisoners are also
said to have taken a part. His evidence now was a repetition of
that which he gave on the occasion above alluded to. •
The next witness was Edward Horne, the approver in the for-
mer case. He identified the prisoner, Richard Higgins, as being
one of the armed party, who fired upon Morgan. After repeating
his former evidence, he added, that after landing about seventy
tuba from the boat, they retreated with, them through the town
of Dover.

went through the main town,
and through the market place. It was tberi between one and
two o'clock.
Sir lt,• Bias IV: asked the witness, if they received no interrup-
tion from the watchmen, or other, legal authoritiet? . '
The witness replied that they did not.
Mr. Langlutin said, some of the watchmen had been.discharged
in consequence of their negligence on that occasion.
Mr. Jones—Yes, but they have been subsequently reinstated by
the Magistrates.

watchmen would not.

near Dymchurch, was then calla He could only identify the
prisoner, Paul Pierce, as having been one of the armed party con-
cerned iu the transaction of the 29th July. He himself had 'a
gun, but does not think he fired.
Mr. Jones here said, this was all the evidence he had to offer
6th of August, at Dymchurch, to
against Higgins and Pierce. . V't'itill'imre:l.l.Ctil'at4vinßgailuenYl'awbfeuilly'adwa

sistance,
and then those of the smugglers who were antics!, fired

i
effects of that wound. The smugglers succeeded in getting ofTwih
a great number of tubs.
Lieut. Johnson, of the Ramilies, deposed that lie was present
at the abovetnentioned affair, at which several of the Preventive
Service men were wounded.
Edward Horne was again called. lie stated that he was pre-
sent at this " working" armed, The prisoner John Bailey was
there ; lie was one of the working party. They succeeded in,run-
ping nearly all the Cargo. Bailey carried three tubs: 'Chia' *mut

could carry four, if necessary. Ile and Bailey walked home to-
gether.
Joseph Shaw, a seaman of the Ran lies, deposed that on the
night in question he was struck across the head with a musket, by
one of the smugglers, and the musket was broken.
It was here intimated that this was the case for the prosocu-
tion ; when _

V'V
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE asked, if it was not intestled to enter
into the ease of the seaman M'Bartlett, who bad twenty-three
slugs lodged in his body, or those of the other wounded men who
were present.
Mr. Jones said it was not—their cases could be included in the
indictment.
The prisoners were then committed to Kent, for trial at the
next Assizes there to be holden.

LAMBETH-STREET.—Tne Coen/ or A Ilusamm
SOLD ne A Wire !—For some days past, the neighbourhoml of
Golston-street, Brick-lane, has been kept in the greatest state of
ferment by the surreptitious removal of the remains of a Mr.
Pusford, a tobacconist, of that street ; and a report, but too well-
founded, having obtained circulation, that his widow had disposed
of it for dissection, a number of the inhabitants, justly iudignant
at so revolting an act, assembled round her house, with a deter-
mination to inflict punishment, through the medium of a horse-
pond. The windows were broken to atoms, and there is, little
doubt that they would have committed some desperate outrage,
had it not been for Mr. Miller, and two of the Junior Officers of
this Establishment, who, by their interfence, prevented further
riotous proceedings. Mr. Miller, while on the spot, carefully
examined the premises; and frosts what he then saw and heard
from the lodgers, the suspicion so generally entertained, was more
than strengthened ; and, in , consequence, with a double view
of protecting Mrs. P. from the vengeance of the mob,
