POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
3iANSION-HOUSE.—(Tura DAY.)
A fellow named Simoa Nelson, was brought up on a
charge of having defrauded a poor woman of five shillings,
by means of cups and balls.
The prisoner belongs to. a gang called nobblers, who live
by defrauding poor market people at a game well known
at country fairs and races. One of these fellows stations
himself at a table with three cups and a small ball, he trans-
fers the ball dexterously from cup to cup, and offers to bet
that it is not under a particular cup. One or two fellows,
his accomplices, who appear to be spectators, bet and win
large sums. The man with the cup still proceeds to bet
adventurously, that the ball is not under any particular one,
althlugh every bystander had seen it there distinctly ; at last
the cupidity of one or more of the bystanders is excited, they
put down their money on the table, the cup is raised, when
lo! the ball is not there,rurd the fellow sweeps the money into
his own pocket. Now and then, countrymen not being inclin-
ed to distrust their own eyes, swear they have been cheated
that they will have their money back. A fight ensues, in
which the accomplices joining their principal, the loser
gets thrashed, and, in addition, robbed of the money he
may have about him.
The poor woman had been induced to put down half-a-
crown, part of her little capital, with which she was going
to market. She raised an outcry when the cup was raised
and the ball was not there. A bustle ensued, in which
her pockets were emptied, and she lost all the money she
had about her. The trick is performed by means of a small
black ball of wax, which sticks to the nail of the performer
whenever he wants it.

The prisoner was_sent for six weeks to the tread-mill, as
a rogue and vagabond; and the woman was reprimanded
for her cupidity—

GUILDHALL.--(Tux. DAY.)
BARTHOLOMEW FAlR.—Several cases, the result of this
Fair, presented themselves to-day. A woman stated that
she had been in Smithfield at half-past one on Sunday morn-
ing, and several persons having been standing behind her,
opposite a show, she observed the back of her gown wet,
and a man's person indecently exposed, whom she gave in
charge. She further stated, that another female, not pre-
sent, could confirm her statement. The prisoner, a labour-
ing man, denied the offence, and was remanded till to-mor-
row, that the other female might have an opportunity of
appearing against him.
Christopher Clarke, a jeweller in Plough-court, Fetter-
lane, charged a woman with passing a bad shilling to a
friend of his, for half a pound of gingerbread nuts. The
woman was remanded for two days, that the Solicitor of
the Mint might be able to attend, and conduct the prose-
cation.

James Warn, 68, Jewin-street, charged an apprentice
with abstracting from drawers in his bed-room, thirty-five
marked shillings. The boy was fully committed.
Mr. Dobbs, a black-lead pencil maker, in New Bridge-
street, Blackfriars, charged his journeyman with a similar
offence. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday.

BOW-STREET--(T us DAT. )

A RUN ON COUTTS'S BANK.—John Angling, a blind
man, was charged by a Clerk from Coutts's Bank, with
having frequently annoyed that establishment, by drawing
drafts on it, and making applications for money which he
falsely alleged to have deposited there.
Mr. Misisittal, having asked him his reason for making
such claims, Mr. Angling stated, that in May 1824, be had
deposited with Mr. Coutts, the sum of 103,0001. in Bank
of Ireland notes, for which Mr. Coitus had promised
to give him .5 per cent.; that in three months after,
Miss Murray, with whom he lived, had made application
for the interest due on the above. sum and received it;
he here spoke with such rapidity, that-it was impos-
sible to understand him ; whereupon a gentleman, who
came forward as his friend (though he knew nothing of
the man except what he had heard from a Mr. M'Donald)
proceeded to state his case, and produced an affidavit made
by the applicant before Alderman Waithman, when Lord
Mayor, averring that he had deposited the above sum, at the
time aforesaid, &c. The Gentleman said, that if this
man was an impostor he ought to be punished, particularly
fir having taken a false oath, or if he had a claim, as he
had sworn, it was fit that it should be established; he then
produced a prima flick ground of a claim,
_ but.devoid of
authenticity ; one document stated that the applicant had
given to Mr. Coutts 75 notes of 1001. each, and .56 notes
of 5001. ; he called upon the clerks of the bank to produce
the account-books of 1814, which would prove decisive of
the claim.

Mr. MiNsuum.—No banker will allow you to inspect
their books, they keep them for themselves.
The Clerk said that he had two years ago examined the
books alluded to, and he could not find that the applicant
had ever kept an account in their house ; they had no sueh
name.

Mr. MINSHULL asked the claimant how he came by that
money, who replied that it had been left him by William
Thompson, a smuggler, with whom he used to sail.
Mr. MINSHULL--You were a smuggler, too, I suppose.
The claimant stood silent. Being asked if he knew the
number of the notes ? he replied that he had the number,
until Mary Murray, who lived in Islington, took them
away from him. She attempted to get the second quar-
ter's interest without his permission, for which he had her
taken into custody, but let her go, on her having acknow-
ledged to him the facts. She then told him that one
of the clerks had kept one half of the monies
to hiinself; he never saw her since that time. Being
asked how he knew the amount of the notes, or that he
gave them to Mr. Coutts, he said that Mary Murray had
told him, as he had given the entire sum to her, which he
was sure she gave back—" for Lord bless you, she was a
sweet girl, and I could not do well without her. I was
obliged to take opium to make me sleep, bless your soul."
Mr. Mtrislivu.--You appear like an opium eater even
now. _

--...
The claimant proceeded to say, that he had been brought
to Mr. Coutts by' Win. Jones, between eight .or nine
o'clock in the morning, in order to deposit the notes with
him—he never saw W. Jones since " Lord bless your soul"
—he wrote several letters to the Bank for money, but
could get none, except Mi. which Mrs. Coutts sent him
some years ago.
The clerk said, that Mrs. Coutts never interfered in these
things.
Mr. MINSHULL said, that he could excuse a blind man,
in coming forward in this manner, but he did Hot know
what to say 'respecting those who brought him into diffi-
culties. The claimant ought to have a receipt for the mo-
ney, if he had deposited if he chosel;

WORSHIP-STREET—(Tail DAY.) . •
A BOLD SranKE EOR, a DINNER.--A miserable.-looking
fellow,
,who stated himself to be a journeyman baker out of
work, was brought up, charged by the proprietor of an
eating-house, in this neighbourhood, with bilking him of a
dinner.
The
complainant stated, that on Sunday
prisoner and two other fellows came into his shop and or-
dered dinner. He supplied them, and, after they had in-
haled a pot or two, of porter, the two that were with the
leaving prisoner, sneaked out,afternoon the
him behind. Application
was directly made to him for the price of the meals, when
he avowed that he had no money, and thet he would sub-
mit to any .punishment that he, the complainant, might
choose to inflict.. However, he refrained from exercising
any chastisement, but gave him in custody,
The complainant declared that he had been frequently

done before, and did not doubt that the prisoner and }Lk
friends were his old visitors.

The prisoner pleaded being out of work, as an exte-
nuation of the fraud, and declared that he had
,been in-
vited by his two frMnds, and haVing no money m his pocket
he was thankfn'l for. the invitation. They went itito the
complainant's house; kid-called for:dinners, &C. :aid after
they had clone,
,his two fiientk. got up and 'lefeliiin
,in

The officers said that the prisOner had been several times
before charged. with.- similar aCti..
This he denied, and declard he had`never been guilty
of an act of dishonesty in his life.
The Magistrate ordered him tote locked up till he found
security for his good behaviour.

LORD BUTLER.—An old man, who had the appearance
of having once moved in a respectable sphere, but who
now is evidently labouring under insanity, was
brought
up by the parish officers of Islington, charged with,sleep-
ing in the open air on Sunday night. On being put to
the bar, he appeared very indignant at the officers who
had brought him here.

On the Magistrate desiring him to give an account of
himself, he said his name was Lord Butler;
that a gen-
tleman residing at Ongar, in Essex, had committed a for-
gery on him to the amount of 3,000,0001., which had been
obtained from the Bank of England. He had suffered
very seriously from being imprisoned 18 times through a
set of fellows who had conspired against him. He had
been starved almost to death, and deleterious articles had
been introduced into his food in order to destroy! him.
The unfortunate man kept on in a strain of similar impro-
babilities, till the Magistrate, after a kind admonition, per-
mitted him to go about his business. _

The poor fellow on leaving theOffiee, bowed respectfully
to the blagistrate.
A respectable looking man, named Mr. Peter Renouf,
residing in Cobham-place, New North-road, was brough. t
up, charged with repeated cruelties to his wife, who is in
the last stage of pregnancy, whereby her life was in danger.
Mrs. Renouf stated, amongst other acts of cruelty, that
on Saturday night last her husband held a knife in his
hand, and declared he would run it into her. She affirmed
she was in fear of her life.

Brown, an officer, said, that he had been, during the
last week, repeatedly called in to protect Mrs. Renouf
from her husband, and on Saturday night he was sent for,
and saw the defendant with a knife in his hand, and on
one of the young men (lodgers) running between him and
his wife to prevent mischief, the defendant said if he did
not get cut of the way he would stick it into him.
The MAGISTRATE ordered him to find bail, but being
unprovided with it, he was locked up.
James Hughes and Mary Ingram were, brought up by
Lock, a constable of St. Luke's, on suspicion of being
concerned in an extensive burglary, at Dalston, near
Ki ngsland.
Lock having received some information, went to a house
in Britannia-street, City-road, where he found the two pri-
soners in bed. In the room where they were, he observed
a sort of trap-door in the floor, on opening which he dis-
covered concealed under the flooring, some skeleton keys
and a chain. In the room adjoining, also occupied by the
prisoners, he found three chairs, which had been stolen
froin the shop of a chair-maker in Bath-street, City-road.
Lock took both the prisoners into custody, and seized the
three chairs, as also the skeleton keys, all of which were
now produced, and there being no evidence at present to
connect them with the burglary at Dalston, they were re-
manded on the charge of stealing the chairs.

QITEEN-SQUARE—:(THrs DAY).

The sitting Magistrate, D. W. GREGORIE, Esq., was
occupied the entire morning in disposing of night charges
brOught from the watch-houses; they consisted principally
of disorderlies.

An old man, named Spence, was brought up by Hill, the
street-keeper of Westminster, for creating a disturbance,
and being intoxicated at nine o'clock yesterday morning in
Stratton-ground.
The man admitted he was wrong in getting drunk yes-
terday, and appearing in a similar state tltut morning before
his 'Worship, he was ordered to he doubly tined in the
penalty of ten shillings.

MARVLEBONE.—(Tuts DAY.

John Harris was brought forward by' Mr. Stephen
Litter, on a charge of assault and furious driving. Mr.
Litter stated, that he purchased three loads of hay on
Saturday last, at the Haymarket. The prisoner drove one
of the carts in which part of the hay was. He was tipsy,
and when he came to the complainant's yard, he was driving
so furiously, that if any children happened to be on the
road, the cart might pass over them. The complainant
checked him, upon which the prisoner struck him very
severely and knocked him down.
The prisoner admitted the whole charge, but. stated that
he was not in the habit of getting drunk, and that he hoped
his Worship would pardon him.
Mr. BROUGHTON, after severely lecturing him, ordered
him to find bail.

James Emmerson, a dissipated looking fellow, was
brought up by Mr. Berry, No. 54, Upper Ntarylebone-
street, on a charge of being found in his area, under SUS-
picious circumstances. Mr. Berry stated, that about eight
o'clock on Saturday sight, his brother-in-law came into
his. room, and informed him that there was somebody in
the area. They then got a candle lighted, and went into
the area, where they found the prisoner. The complainant
asked him what he was doing there. lie answered, that
he did not mean to make any resistance, and that he would
surrender; upon which, the complainant sent for a con-
stable, and gave him in custody. They searched the pri-
soner, but he had nothing.
Mr. ferry's brother-in-law corroborated Mr. B.'s testi-
mony, and added, that the prisoner said, when they came
up to him, that he was glad they had discovered him, as
he might have done worse, and that it would be a warning
to others.

The prisoner said, that he was a tailor from the country;
that he had been been out of employment for the last six
weeks, and only came to London on Saturday morning•.
As he was walking beside the complainant's house, his
hat accidentally fell into the area : he jumped in for it, but
could not get out again, there being no steps to the area.
Mr. BROUGHTON, suspecting the probability of this
story, convicted him u a vagabond, and ordered him to
the House of Correction for a month.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. --(Tins DAT.)

. John Saunders, a long raw-boned carpenter, with an
amiable stupidity of countenance, rolled up to the Bench, and
charged a neat little pert female emigrant from Pye-street,
Westminster, with having extracted a silver watch from
the « dark abyss" of his calico watch-pocket. He was
in a state of single blessedness retiring to his couch on
Saturday night with his week's wages snug in his pocket,
and his watch in his fob, when he was accosted in Ox-
ford-street by the prisoner. He found her so well calcu-
lated to amuse, by her attractive powers of conversation,
that he did not . part with her till after an amusing
tete-a-tete, in Oxford-road, when he found that she had
not only beguiled him of his cares, but at the same time
of his watch. On discovering his loss he politely re-
qi.qsted the lady to return it; her amusing conciliations
were instantly -changed to the yellings of a fury, which were
only quieted by her being placed under the protection of
the Cerberus of the watchhouse.
Mr. ROE questioned the carpenter, who admitted having
been very familiar with her. Mr:Roe then told him it had

PLAYING AT BILLIARDS ON SUNDAYS.--Mr. George
dshy, the keeper of a Billiard-room, in Pickeringplace,
St; James's-street, appeared in answer to an information
byi Auckland, the beadle, at the instance of a gentleman
named Golding, for allowing persons to play at billiards in
hie house during Divine Service on Sunday last.
Cosby stated in explanation, 'that the persons who

were there Were his own friends, playing for amusement, 1
for which he did not receive any gain ; and it would be
extremely hard if he were not allowed to amuse himself
and friends in hie own house, when the Travellers, and
several other clubs, were in the constant habit of playing
on Sundays.
Mr: CONANT remarked, that if an information was laid
against theni they wduld be equally liable to be punished
for the nuisance.
The defendant then agreed that it ehcittld not be re-
peated, if Buckland would-not press the information.
Buckland said he did not ; and the case was dismissed,
on the defendant paying 35., the costs of the information.

HATTON-GARDEN.—fruts DAT).
OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.— Four young men, named
Jones, Smith, and Angelo Moss, were brought be-
fore A. S. LMNG, Esq. from the watchhouse, under the
following charge :
From the testimony of a number of witnesses, it ap-
peared that about three o'clock yesterday afternoon the
four prisoners were parading Gray's-Inn-lane and Mount
Pleasant in a state of intoxication, and offering insults to
every passing individual. They then turned into Tothill-
street, and grossly insulted some females looking from a
window, whom they swore they would have out of the
house by force ; they then rushed into the house, and mis-
taking the apartment, forced the door of a room in which a
young man named Terry was sleeping; without the least
provocation, he was dragged from his bed into the passage,
knocked down, kicked, and had his right leg broken in two
places. An alarm by this time had been given, and several
constables entered the house at the moment that Smith
and Angelo Moss were in the act of dragging him down
stairs by the legs. A desperate struggle ensued, during
which Smith effected his escape, but was taken close to
the Foundling, by Cadly, the beadle, after a severe resis-
tance. They were all safely lodged in the watch-house,
and the unfortunate Terry taken to the Hospital.
The prisoners, who pleaded intoxication as their excuse,
were ordered to find good bail, and Smith and Angelo
Moss, to give forty-eight hours notice thereof.
