POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW- STREET. —Ho u NSI.OW POST OFFICE Rt, a-
BERY. - Wm. Bull, Wm. Smith alias Cox, and Wm.
Dowset, were yesterday morning again, placed at the bar
for final examination, charged with the above robbery.
Charles 'nicker, who is'a servant to Mr. Brown, a mu-
sical instrument-maker, in Edward-street, Langham-plaee,
Regent-street, was examined ; and lie stated that, on the
morning the HounsloW Post Office robbery was committed,
he went from London to the house of Sir Wm. Fremantle,
beyond Staines,. with a van, for the purpose of conveying
a piano•forte to the Hon. Baronet. He passed through
Hounslow at about five o'clock in the morning, and he
called at the Coach and Horses public-house to take re-
freshment. He observed a cart standing at the door, in
which was a ladder, part of which projected behind. On
entering the house he observed three men—they were
coming out of the house, and one of them was drinking .t
glass of gin. He had a glimpse of their faces ; he said to
them " Good night to ye, gentlemen ;" and they replied
" It is a very cold night;" he thought Bull was like one
of the .men, but could not speak positively. The witness
here pointed out Jones, the gaoler, who was standing by
the side of the prisoners, as very much resembling one of
the three men.—(Loud laughter.)—The witness admitted
that he had pointed out another man in the lock-up-room
as a person resembling one. of the three men, but he was
mistaken in the 'person ; the three men left the public-
house about twenty minutes before he did ; and as he
pissed near the Post Office at Hounslow, he saw the same
cart near the four trees, tin the side of the road, a short
distance from the Post-office ; he then observed the ladder
in the cart, and a man was standing a few yards' distance
from the cart.

Mr. Harmer interrogated the witness, and he said lie
could not swear to any of the .prisoriers. He said that, on
his return through Hounslim, be called at the Coach and
Horses, and was told that the three men he had seen in the
home the same morning were'thieves, for they had stolen
some keys. "
Mr. Harmer here observed, that the evidence of this
witness was in direct contradiction of that of Curtis, the
servant at the public-house, who tad sworn that the keys
must have been stolen by the three men. who came with
the cart, because he was sure no one else was in the house
till after he missed. them. This witness had sworn that lie
was in the house for twenty minute, and he (Mr. Harmer)
hoped that the Magistrates would not be of opinion that
there was evidence to detain the parties in custody.
Mr. MlNsktur.t. said, that he should commit Bull and
Smith for trial. Dowset,was remanded, on another charge,
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday, a Mrs•

noon, a lady entered the shop of Messrs. Gomm, haber-
dashers, of 32, Oxford-street, and OR leaving she dropped
a purse on the floor containing a fire-pound note and a so-
vereign. The defendant picked up the purse, and although
the shop-woman ran out of the shop after the lady, she
could not find her. The defendant then insisted upon

insolence.—She was ordered to find bail, and the purse was
to be advertised.

HATTON-GARDEN.--ANOTHER. DEFEAT, AND A
MAGISTRATE'S OPINION OF AN INFORMER'S SWEARING.
—Yesterday Mr. William Redmond,' of the Salmon and
Ball, Salmon and Ball-court, Runhill-rew, St. Luke's, ap-
peared at this office upon the complaint of Essex, the baker,
to account to the Magistrates 'why he kept open until 20
ininutes•after twelve o'clock, oil the night of Saturday the
21st instant.

Charles Beggs, who resides in Noble-street. Spafields,
and who is, by the way, a new aspirant for the honors and
emoluments connected with the Informing Trade, deposed,
that on the above night, and at the precise time specified in
the information, he entered the defendant's house, in com-
pany with others. He called for and obtained a glass of
gin and a pipe of tobacco. It was the defendant himself
who nerved him. He was sure it was twenty minutes
after twelve, because he regulated his knowledge of the
time by the informer's watch !
Mr. Redmond, in reply to the charge, positively assured
tie Magistrate that every word sworn by the witness,
Beggs, was untrue. He not only did not serve him at the
time mentioned ; but he was actually in bed before then,
as could be proved by witnesses.
The defendant's; waiter was then called in. He proved
that a quarter before twelve o'clock he closed his master's
house, and did not suffer a single person to enter after-
wards. Every one was out by twelve o'clock, and his
master was going up to bed as the watchman was calling
that hour.

Mr. ROGERS—WeII, Sergeant, what do you say to this
evidence ?—Mr. Sergeant SELLoti—Why, what I have
often said before, that the case is fairly met. Is the time
complained of to be regulated by the informer's watch ?
Certainly not, and I shall never consent to a conviction
upon such evidence.
Mr. Tiouvi:s fully concurred in his brother Magistrate's
view of the matter.—The case was instantly dismissed.
UNION-HALL—A case of bastardy of a curious nature,
inasmuch as both the parties engaged in the illicit amour
are deaf and dumb—came on to be heard before the Magi"-
trees. The defendant, whose name is George Clarke, and
Olive Octon, between whom the intercourse was alleged to
have taken place, are both very young, and had recently
quitted the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb. The defendant
was apprehended at Great Badlow, in Essex, where he
carried on the business of a shoemaker, which he had learned
in the Asylum. .After he was taken into custody, it was
with great difficulty that the constable could prevent his
laying violent hands on himself. The girl described by signs,
that about ten months ago she went to a place called Spring-
field, in Essex, and there met the defendant,'whom she ac-
companied to Springfield Fair ; and after they had amused

place between them. The girl's• statement was explained
to the defendant, but he denied being the father of the
child. He admitted having gone with her to the fair, and
took place between them. The Magistrates were about
accompanied her to her father's house ; but no intercourse
to postpone the case, to procure evidence to support the
ythereitnute"rictrhs
girl's statement, when it was suggested that the defendant's

his son and the young woman at the fair, and he had been
ater
to andbe
given to understand that his son proceeded home with her
to the residence of her father, where he was treated with
home-made wine until he became tipsy, and afterwards the
girl's parents allowed the witness's son to accompany her
to Chelmsford

next morning they were discovered clasped in each other's

informed him that he was perfectly willing to have paid
all the expenses attending the matter, if ere proceeding
had been commenced at an earlier period.
The MAGlsTnKres then made an order upon the de-
fendant to pay 2s. 6d. per week, and the defendant's
father paid the expenses of the gill's accouchement.
