POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—(Tnts DAT).
EamnazzursturT.---A genteel looking young, man, named
Bartley, was brought before the Sitting
Magistrate (AN SLZT),
charged with embezzling toy() sums of 2/. J7s. 611. and V. ss. 6d.,
the property of his employers.
The prisoner•had been employed its a collecting clerk to the
prosecutors, and in that capacity had received several sums on
their account. They had no cause to suspect his dishonesty, till
the day on which he misappropriated the above sums ; and it was
remarkable that on that occasion, be had handed over a few
sums which be had received from hie tauten' employers.
The prisoner (in a faultering voice) denied the charge of em-
bezzlement, saying that he had paid over the money to a brother-
in-law, who was also in the prosecutors' emplpyment.
The Alderman handed him over for trial at the Sessions.

A tall coarse-looking personage, calleciiones, Was charged With
having introduced several pints of gin, and other cordials, into
White-cross-street prison.
The worthy spirited pkilanthropist had filled three bladders with
Hedge's genuine extract ; one of which he had stuffed into his
hat, and the other two he had concealed in the dark profound Of
two very deep and dangerous pockets. Thus equipped, he march-
ed to the portal of the gaol, and assuming the most indifferent
aspect, and whistling up his courage, he craved admittance.
The turn-key appeared to eye him with great keenness;
and was about ,to let fly a sharp volley of qUestions, when
le ! the bladder• in his hat burst, and down came its precious
contents in gentle rills, over his cheeks. This was proof demon-
strative; a search commenced; and the two other bladders were
instantly brought out of darkness. •
Alderman• AusLxv—Well, sir, what have you to say to this
charge?

Prisoner—Oh ! your worship, you must be lenient on me; I
hereon aged, infirm mother to support, and am in wretched cir-
cumstances. I tried this bit of thing in order to earn a few shil-
lings, to keep my mother and myself from starving.
The worthy Alderman said that the legislature had imposed a
heavy penalty on those who introduced spirituous liquors into any
of his Majesty's gaols, for the purpose of preserving the morals of
the prisoners; and he therefore felt it his duty to convict him in
the lowest penalty of 101. ; and in default of payment he must be
locked up for fourteen days.

BOW-STREET---(Tms DAT.)
Mary Bryan, a lively little gypsey-looking woman, was charged
with applying a " pretty considerable" slap to the forehead of
a Mrs. Stewart, who appeared to be a gin-drinking, gossip-loving
sort of Matron, Whose garrulity was only to be calculated by the
quantity of refreshment she had taken.
Each party brought a female witness, and • the confusion of
tongues must have been elucidation compared with the clainenr
produced by their respective clappers. Mrs. Stewart vociferated
that Mrs. Bryan had beaten all the sense out of her head, and Mrs.
Bryan, in reply, screamingly accused Mrs. Stewart of having tarp
niched her fair fame, and " called her from- a pig to a dog,"
(feminine).
Mr. MiNautaa., after listening with considerable patience, till
silence could be procured,•.ascertaineel that both parties were in
fault, and ordered the warrant to be suspended.
