POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-3. Hogg, a Chelsea
pensioner, charged Ann Nash with robbing him of 11. ss.
He stated that he received his pension on. Friday, and
_ _

going home lay down on the bed, and that the prisoner,
who lodged in the same house, had picked his pocket
while asleep.
The prisoner declared that he had lent her the money,
which she was to return► in a week.

A female lodger here stated, that Mr, Hogg frequently
got as drunk as David's sow, and, when in that state,
would lend any thing.
" Hould yer tongue, and spake the truth," screamed
Mrs. Hogg (a little elf-looking Hibernian), after a
violent prelude of clenching her fists, gnashing her
teeth, and darting looks of unutterable fury at the
accusing parties—" tell the truth; my, husband nivcr
spices to bad women." " Never mind, Mrs. Hogg, your,
Worship," said Ann, " it's only her piggish disposition,
she never lends nothing to nobody, but she knows that her
husband is a very good-natured man." Here Mrs. Hogg
showed such violent symptoms of rage, that nothing, less
than the threat of expulsion could pacify her, and on the
Magistrate directing the warrant to stand over for a week,
to give Nash the opportunity of paying the money, she
left the office uttering curses, "not loud but deep."

A respectably dressed child, named L. Levy, between eight and
nine years of age, and who afterwards proved to be the son of a
highly respectable fruiterer, was brought up on a charge of rob-
bery committed in the .Soho Bazaar. It appeared that the pri-
soner was observed by a lady, named Schofield, to glide along
the edge of the counter, till he came to a note-case, value about 2e.,

which-he purloined. Upon being apprehended, he confessed that
he had been into the Bazaar the week before, when he succeeded
in carrying off various articles, and he stated that he had been
urged to commit the robberies by an elder boy. The prisoner
was remanded, that his parents might he informed of his unhappy

situation.
MANSION •H OUSE. ---T u REATENING LmEas.--John
Knot, and Eliza, his wife, were charged with sending a variety
of letters, containing threats of an abominable description, to the
brother of the former, a respectable Gentleman, residing in the
City, for the purpose of extorting money. The complainant
stated, that within the last few months he had advanced the defen-
dants 601., although they bad no claim whatever upon him, and
were abLe to support themselves respectably. if they thought pro-
iper ; hut thst, not natisfied with Chet, they bed annorsl MM. by
sending a number of letters, front the language contained in which
he was apprehensive of personal danger, and therefore appealed to
the Lord Mayor for protection. The complainant produced up-
wards of a dozen letters, the nature of which are unfit for publi.
cation.—The Loan Mason said the evidence was quite sufficient
to warrant him in committing the prisoners. He, however, re-
manded them until Monday (this day), to give the Clerk time to
prepare the depositionsagainst them.
BOW-STREET.--.A man of the name of Thomas Lloyd, was
brought to this office on several charges. He is a man of the
most singularly and eccentric appearance. He wears a large straw
hat, with a broad brim tai ned up on each side. His person is
short, thin, and meagre, and he wears mustachios. He has taken
in many of the hotel-keepers of the west end of the town, un-
der the pretence that he is related to the Attorney-General of
Jamaica, and the proprietor of two valuable estates in that
island. He has also pretended that the Lord Chancellor allowed
him 2001. per annum, to avoid a public exposure. The pro-
prietors of Oliver's Coffee-house, Westminster-bridge, of the
York Arms, Clarges-street, and other tavern-keepers, and se..
veral coach proprietors, were in attendance. He was sentenced
to one month's imprisonment, for refusing to pay,li. the fare of
a hackney coachman. He was also committed in default of bail,
for threatening to shoot a gentleman named Mansfield. His con-
duct (luring the examination was most impudent; he threatened
actions against the parties whom he had duped, and called the
officers thieves and rogues ; and swore that he never would pay
a farthing to the " blackguards" who had preferred the charges
against him, tillthey had proved him a scoundrel, a traitor, and
a deserter.

The Drum Major of the Coldstream Guards proved that the
prisoner, in 1800, was a fifer in that regiment. It was stated,
that the prisoner deserted and joined Buonaparte.
Prisoner--" I received a pardon for that."
A gentleman named Taylor, whom the prisoner had duped,
said, the prisoner represented to him that he had just arrived
from the West Indies, and that he had got property to a great
amount in the City,- in foreign coin, which he should get ex-
changed for English currency in a few days.
The prisoner exclaimed--"I know the law, they are only
debts; I 'made no false representation that you can prove. I w
a fifer 25 years ago ; and what of that ? it is not what I have
been, but what I em. I married a lady of fortune,
the Attorney General of Jamaica; and,. because I horsewhipped
him in Court, I was sent away to America without a trial, and I
came "to England to seek redress."
The prisoner was conveyed to prison. the aunt of
LAIIifETII-STREET.—Foucaxxv._..
_tirtlsur Thompson,
alias Josiah Potniale, a young man of respectable appearances 'V"
charged with uttering a forged check for 251,, with intent to
defraud Messrs. Taylor and Co., brewers, at Lima:at:se. The
whole of the evidence having been taken in this ease, the Magis-
trate inquired if any other charges were to be brought fOrward.
A number of persons at that moment rushed forward, and
produced a variety of cheeks on Masten:tan% Drummond'a, Glyn's,
and other banks, upon which money had been obtained under cir-
cumstances similar to those above detidled.--Among the persons
defrauded were Meux and Co., Hoare and Co., Truman and Co.,
Goding and Co., Simpson and Co. A gentleman, from Mr.
Chitrrington's firm mentioned that an attempt had been made
upon them, but it had failed: The sum of money altogether ob-
tained appears to be upwards of 4001. The prisoner was then
remanded until Wednesday next.
John Catolond, the driver of the Blackwell stage, No. 8,778,
was charged with committing
a most violent assault on the person
