POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—Au elderly person, whose name it
aiipeara is ite S 4; *at thaTed with having collected a
crowd areimd the dolt. of the Adelphi 'theatre.
The constable who had him in Charge and a Person froth
the It I Ipl heatte stated; that abint half an hoUr before
the defendant had behaved lii z most ritit.rag4Mis Manner,
and caused a mob of people to assemble about` the
Theatre. He had called to see Mr. Mathews, the come-
dian, but as that gentleman did not think fit to he at
home, the defendant flew into a violent rage, swore at
Mr. Mathews and Mr. Yates, and became at last so
violent that they were forced to bring him to Bow-street.
Mr. Mathews, however, had no intention of inconvenienc-
ing the defendant by causing him to be locked up, but was
desirous that he might not be troubled with him again.
The defendant, with a low how, and a theatrical flou-
rish of his hand, gave every indication of entering on his
defence by means of a long speech, when the Magis-
trate stopped hiin short, and requested him to confine
what he purposed to say within as moderate a compass
as possible;
I will," said Mr. Lee Sug, " That which I purpose
saying shall he neat, terse, and pithy,--ecee sign um. You
must know, then," he said, " that I had the honour of
being the tutor of the renowned Charles Mathews. Yes, it
was I who in the words of the poet, first taught his
young ideas how to shoot.' I put him in possession of his
talents, and ensured him the means of attaining to that en-
viable station in the theatrical world which he now enjoys.
It was I who—

" My good Sir," interrupted the Magistrate, " I have no
time for long speeches at present. All I wish you to ex-
plain is, why you went to insult Mr. Mathews."
" Me insult him !" exclaimed Mr. Lee Sug. " No such
thing, your worship."
" What brought you to the theatre, then?" asked Mr.
lIA r. Ls.

" Why I went," rejoined the defendant, " to ask Mr.
Charles Mathews, my old friend and pupil, to help me to
some situation—any thing at all to keep life and soul to-
gether. lam growing old now, but I have been in re-
spectable circumstances, I assure your Worship."
" Well," said Mr. HALLS, " will you promise not to
create a disturbance at Mr. Mathews's any more, if I let
you go now?"—" Most certainly ; 1 give my unequivo-
cal assurance, and all that, not to be obstreperous any
more, although I have a crow to pluck with my old friend
and pupil."
" Then you are disrharged, Mr. Lee Sug," said the
Magistrate, and I wish :eon a good morning."
" Good day to your Worship," rejoined Mr. Lee Sug,
with a profound obedience ; then, elevating his chin, and
throwing a good deal of comicality into his countenance,
he repeated his "good day "in a falsetto key, quite worthy-
of his inimitable pupil, and retreated backwards, bowing
as he went, to the no small amusement of these who were
present.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday Reuben
Mule, a gardener belonging to the Horticultural Society,
and John F. Wood, who had for some time filled a situa-
tion in the same establishment, were brought to this office in
custody of Ballard, the officer, before Mr. CONANT, the
sitting Magistrate, the former charged with stealing, and
the latter with receiving, knowing them to be stolen,
quantities of various seeds of plants, &c., of a rare and
valuable kind, belonging to the Society, and not to be met
with elsewhere in this country.
Mr. Sebine, the honorary secretary of the Society, and
Mr. Monroe, the principal clerk to the Institution, at-
tended, as did also Mr. Harmer for the prosecution ; but
as the evidence was not in an arranged state at present,
the prisoners were remanded on the oath of Mr. Monroe
that he had good reason to suspect them of the offence with
which they were charged, and no further particulars of the
case transpired.
A decent•looking young man, named William Watts,
was charged with stealing four pair of shoes from the
shop-window of a shoemaker in Jermyn. street, St. James's,
named Vaughan.
The shopman stated, that while he was absent fur a
short time from the shop, he heard a crash at the window,
and on running to see the cause, he found the window
broke, and missed the four pair of shoes produced. He
the❑ went into the street, and observed the prisoner,
standing up close under a doorway, a short distance from
the shop, and on geing up to him he saw him drop one
pair of the shoes, and the other■ were taken from under
his coat.

The prisoner told in his defence the worn-out story of
his having picked up the shoes in the street as he was pas-
sing :dung Jer►nyn-street.
The MAGISTRATE, however, told hint that he must
make that defence before a Jury, and committed hint for

A man having the appearance of a respectable trades-
man, named Henryßrowne, was charged with the follow-
ing robbery :
Mr. Donaldson, a furniture-broker, in Rathbone-place,
stated, that on the 15th of September last, he missivi from
shop the mahogany dumb-waiter now produced, and
he saw nothing more of it until a few days ago he met with
it at the shop of Mr. Marshall, who is in the same trade at
Brompton, and he immediately claimed it as stolen property
of his.

Mr. Marshall said, that be had known the prisoner for
some time as living with his brother, a respectable man in
the neighbourhood, and in the middle of last month, the
prisoner brought this dumb-waiter to his (Mr. Marshall's)
shop for sale, saying that it belonged to his brother, who
was selling off his old furniture, as he was retiring from
business, and he, Mr. Marshall, purchased it for 125., but
never had the least suspicion that it was stolen until 11r.
Donaldson came and claimed it. He had seen nothing of
the prisoner since until Friday last, when he came again
with the night commode now produced, to the shop also
for sale, saying that this, too, belonged to his brother, but
he, Mr. Marshall, sent for a constable and had him taken
into custody.
The prisoner in his defence said, that both the dumb-
waiter and the night-commode, which is a very handsome
mahogany one, belonged, as he had told Mr. Marshall, to
his brother, who sent him with them to sell, as he was
going to live in the country, and his brother was now pre-
sent in the office to prove that fact.
The prisoner's brother, a man as respectable in appear-
ance as it seems he is in reality, here stepped forward, and
declared that every word the prisoner had uttered respect-
ing him was false : he never sent the prisoner to sell any
article of furniture in his life, nor did he ever see this dumb-
waiter er commode before that day.
The MAGISTRATE said that it was highly creditable to
the prisoner's brother not to lend himself in support of a
falsehood even to serve so near a relation to him as the pri-
soner was.

The prisoner was then committed to take his trial for the
offence of stealing the dumb-waiter ; but is to be re-exa-
mined en Friday, when an owner is expected to be found
for the commode.

The name of the gentleman who lost the 401. note as re-
ported in yesterday's Times, is Capt. Stert, and not Mr.
Charles Barton, as stated by mistake. The mistake arose
from the circumstance of Captain Stert having directed the
goods which he selected at Mr. Newman's to be sent to Mr.
Charles Barton's, in Baker-street.

MARYLEBONE.—A discarded footman was charged
by Lady Jane Richardson, of Upper George-street, Bryan-
stone-square, with putting the safety of her person in danger.
Her Ladyship stated, that on former occasions, while in
her service, he threatened to stab her with a knife, and
blow out her brains with a pistol, and she was obliged to
discharge him ; and she thought when that was done she
was out of his reach, but En Monday evening he came to
the house, attempted to force hi, way to the drawing-room,
where she was taking her tea with a friend ; and after her
servants Lad expelled him by force, he would have broken
the street door to atoms, if the watchman had not inter-
fered, and taken him into custody, Her Ladyship said she
wished to put the most charitable construction upon his
conduct, and she really believed he laboured under great
mental derangement; but, notwithstanding, her personal
!safety was infinitely dear to her, and she hoped tke Magis-
trate would take measures to place it beyond danger.
It appeared that the defendant so resolutely resisted the
inthOrity of the watchman, that he lamed three of them,
and injured the assistant-watchhouse-keeper, and one of the
watchmen was obliged to be taken to the infirmary.
The footman said he was net mad, but drunk, and had
acted foolishly: he hoped her Ladyship would forgive him,
and he would go at once into the country, and never come
hack.

Her Ladyship expressed herself quite willing to pardon
him ; but Mr. GRI FFITII told them that there were other
charges to be answered. He must pay ss. for being drunk,
and give the watchmen satisfaction. lie was detained.

HATTON-GARDEN. --John Jones Freeman, a tailor,
residing in Sourer-street, Coldbath-square, was yesterday
brought up from St. Andrew's watch-house, under a war-
rant, charged by the parochial authorities of St. Andrew's,
Holborn, with deserting his wife, and refusing her a main-
tenance. The ca'e was before the Magistrates on Monday,
when the complainant, a respectable-looking female, who
appeared to have been once in good circumstances, though
now reduced to seek for parish relief, stated that she married
the defendant about three, months ago, she being then a
widow. He make her life very unconifiirtable, often
threatened to desert her, and on Thursday last, taking with
