POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSIO.IV-.HOUSE.
A young man, named../An S:nith; whri had been in
the serviee of Messrs. Carr and Robertson, of No. 130,
Wood-street, warehousemen, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, charged with having taken up a great
quantity of goods at 'anions houses, in the name of his
employers. The prisoner had enlisted in the East India
Company's service, %hen he found it necessary to de-
camp.
Mr. Humphreys appeared frir the prosecution.'
When the prisoner was put to the, bar, and saw a num-
ber of pawnbrokers-with whom he had pledged the ar-
ticles obtained at the expense of his employers, he made
a low bow, and said he hid 'already confessed that, he
was guilty, and did net wish to give any trouble.
• Several of Abe pawnbrokers expressed their willing-
ness to give up the property Pledged by the' prisoner,
and it was considered unnecessary In proceed in -,more
cases than those in--which difficulties were thrown in the
war of the prosecution:
The LORD Ma of said that, he should, commit the
prisoner when the depositiona should be made out.
A man, named James. Oliver, who had genuine symp-
toms of distreis abOnt him, was charged with having
stolen two shawls. ,
The prisoner Walked up to-a policeman'in Cheapside,
at a quarter past eight in the evening, and said, "'Have
your eye "upon He then went into a shop, and,
taking hold of two shawls, returned with them, and was
takeninto custedy.
The prisoner• declared that he was in the deepest'dis-
tres%, and that be had resorted to the eipedieht of visit-
ing the shop, in order to obtain relief by being put in
prison. , •
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner who and' whrt
he was ? The prisoner replied that from consideration
for others he must decline uttering a word about him-
self.,. All ha would say was, that he never committed' a
robbery in his life, and he did not consider what he had
done the night before was arty Offence at all.
The LORD 'litAvon regreyed to' have such a case
brought before him, but said he, was bound to commit
the prisoner fOr
. .
A man named C abtrie, wbo was formerly the prin-
cipal engineer on board the Ocean, a Rotterdam steamier,
in-,which the Custom-house" officers a few months ago
found a quantity of contraband -tobacco hidden with
great ingenuity in the engine-rooni, was placed at
the bar. Two of the other engineers had •'• been
charged -on former occasions, when "the 'full de-
tails of the., mode of concealment were published.
The priioner dieapprnred from the
.ressel npon her ar-
rival in LOndon, while the officers were on board
watching, for the tobaCco, and had . not been seen since,
until a day or two ago, when he was found on board the
Undine steamer, at Blackwell.
Coleby. Atkinson, Davis of the. Customs- stated the
particulars of the cti,e, and underwent a cross-examina-
tion which„ if possible, added: strength to his deposi-
tions, and " '
The LORD Maxon said, that Alderman Moon and he
agreed that the case was clearly Made out.'
The defendant was: then fined 100/.
It is proper' to' state tbat' all the engineers of the
Ocean steamer, who were employed on the voyage upon
which the contraband. goods were conveyed on board,
have been diacharged. .
A seaman named Freemcin, the very cut of a hol3
smuggler, pleaded guilty to the charge of having c.ut-
cealed in the shrouds of the Navarino steam•ship a
quantity of tobacco, on which the duty had Aot been
paid..
F "There's no' use in denying it," said the smuggler, " I
did it, and 'no mistake." The prisoner *as fined in the
penalty of 10,01.

Mr.. COMBE asked where. Campbell, or Cooke, then
was ?. The' constable said -he had again- arrested him,
and he was then :Within; the precincts of the Court, as
were the two girls who wished to .prosecute him. •
~ -Mr., COMBE ,consequence of 'these ,fees,.many

would he assuming the office rather of prosecutor than

The constable 'left the court,- and Mr. Charles.Fre-
deriCk Campbell, alias John Cooke, was set at liberty,
and walked off triiimphant.
John Smnes, in the employment of Messrs. Nicholson,
distillers,' St. John-street, appeared 'tp answer a charge
of Unlawfully, removing two gallona of British spirits.
Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel for the'defendant,"and
Mr.` Proctor on behalf Of the .Excise. consequence .of
the Publicity already given, to the case, and'the import-
ance of the, point involvi.d in 'the court was crowded
with' istillers; and other Members.f the spirit trade. :
• The penalty was laid at Oa
'The prisoner was Met at seven o'Clock on Friday
evening, in Amwell-Street, Pentonvdle, carrying a two
gallon jar of spirits to a customer from the preinises of
the Messrs. Nicholson,' by Klievett, an mem* officer:
He had a permit for the qusintity. of spirits he carried.
but. he permit, altboUgh obtained before twelve in the
forenoon of the seines day, Was held by the Eiciselo be
invalid after two O'c'ock, •
and hence the present
proceedings. •
Mt. Proctor, on behalf of the Excise, said that Missrs.
Nicholson had laid a Statement of their case befOre the,
Board of Excise, and the Board had, after mature deli.;
beration, directed' the prosecution to be proceeded with.
Mr. Bodkin said he was much surprised 'at the deci-
sion the Board of Excise had come to, and if acted upon
it would materially interfere, if not altogether ruin, the
wholesale dealer in spirits. WhatMessrs.Nieholson't ser-
vant bad been eharged,with was the everyday practice
of almost every, distillery and wholesale house in Lon-.
don. The Legislature never could have contemplated
such an interference with the business of the honest
trader. Thts was the state of the Case i—A distiller, in
extensive business, sent in the morning to the Excise-
office for 70 or 80 yermits. The office, as in This in-
stance, was .1i considerable . distance from the' eatabliih-
ment. 'When the messenger arrived,' he found the
clerks so busy, as to be unable to furnish him with the
permits until past . o'clock, as had been frequently
the case with the Messrs. Nicholson. . The permits :gave
only two hours for package and delivery ; and how was
it possible in that time to prepare 60 or 80 different par-
cels, and have them delivered in distant parti of the me-
tropolis? Why, the carriers.wonld, not be able to leave
the premises in that time. The' 116th sect. the 6th
George IV., c. so, said, that "is reveal-able turfa should

be specified in every such permit.' Nobody could say
that, under such circumstances, . even two clear
hours, which traderit did not always obtain, in
consequence of the delay et the gicise-office,
was a . reasonable time. . The Act of Parliament
did not srcify the time beyond which the' permit was
invalid; and as this was a penal Act -it ought to be
strictly construed. The 118th clause, and the Act ge-
nerally, was 'even. d against• -persons who intended
frauds upon the Excise, of which there was in this case
no imputation. The Aet described several circumstances,
which rendered the removal of spirits and a permit in-
valid; but time was not mentioned among their. -If the
Excise were to per§erere in such a course, and the ma-
gistrittes to *Sanction it, there would be "a continual in-
viehange of litigation between the Excise. and theydealer, which would end in the ruin of the-latter. -
Mr. Proctor relied npen the words of the 118th sec-
tion of the same. Act, " or shall be found removing or
conveying any such spirits. without a • law ul permit,"
and contended that the permit in this instance was le-
gally. drawn up. and that as' theparty was found. carry-
- in" the lirits five hours after the permit expited' he bad
clearly subjected himself to the payment of the. fine.
*Mr. Coiens; 'said he. ceriAdcred time. as material an
ingredient as .either " quantity or quality ,• and if 'there
were not restriction.. the same permit might be used six
times on the same day. He would fine the prisoner 25L,
or three months' imprisontrweL

sion ; the matter is of -so much importance to the- trade
generally, that my clients are- resolved to sift it to the

DESTEFCTION OF THE Pc-naI:AND VASE.—The young man

evening, was again Raced at the-har, for final etiamination, charged
with wilfully And Maliciously destroying.; with a atone, • the
inimitable vase in the Britishbluseurn. The vase, which was
valued at 1,0001. and upWards, was described as being the property
of his Grace the Duke of Portland. ' •
Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian. and several gentlemen
connected with the Museum were.on the bench. • •
Mr. Bodkin appeared fin the prosecution. . . ,
The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, appeared, perfectly
composed, and did not evince any syrntoms.of mental aberration.

were last brought before the Court you refurekto give your name;

Mr. Bodkin said . had the honour to
_appear cut behalf
of the trustees of • the British • Muieutn, • upon whom the
painful duty *devolved of prosecuting in -this case on the part•
of his Grace the Duke of Portland, whce•had kindly permitted
'the property in question to be 'placed In the Museum, for
'the inspection and gratification of the public. It was deemed ne-
-cessary.-since the last examination, that a medicalgentleman should
wait on ,the prisoner •for • the purpose-of examining into the state of
his mind, and the report -made left no doubt of the prisoner's sanity..
It was, therefore, with a view to pretect-property of this description,
and affording a public exaMple, by' punishing ,a person, convicted of
IVA **flagrant act,' that the present court e was adopted. It was.
much to be regretted that such was the defective 'Aide of the law
upon such offences, that it was-difficult to meet thipresent charge
by anything like an adequate punishment. . However, it was pro-
vided by. the 24th section of the Wilful Damage Act, " that if any
person tibia Unlairfully or maliciously commit any daMage, injury, ;
or spoil, to Or upon any real personal property
.whatever, either
of a public or a 'private nature, for which no remedy or punish-
melt was therein before provided, every person being convicted
thereof before a justice 'of the peace, ehOuld for,eit and pay
such amount -of money; as shOuld appear' to the justice to be
reasonable compensation for the damage, injUry, or .spoilio com-
mitted, not exceeding: the sum of 51. ;" and it would be for the
*Court, to consider 'whether sueli words referred to the full Extent of
the property injured, or to the amount of fine which the justice
had the PeWer to inflict for' such; offence. submitted that,
whatever the intention- of the Legislature might be, it clearly
referred le the power inverted in, the magistrate,-since the Small
amount might be more agreeable to the parties concerned, than, to
have an action b: ought fur the amount. of the damage done,. which
in thistase would be no remedy. It was concedid.that the intlit:
lion of -suctr a -fine was inadequate , upon a subject that had de.
servedircatiSed such a general sensation, particularly aithePublic
*was now admitted to loch extflbitions without the'least restraint:
As an instance of the defect of the law, he might refer to a case
brought before Mr. Maltby, at -Marlborough.street, some time ago,.
against a person for maliciously thrusting his stick through
valuable picture in the National Gallery; and the case being
clearly made out, in the ab4nce of spy other mode of, punishment,
the delinqUent was fined in the penalty of Si., or three months',
imprisonment. He therefore trusted that the Court would adopt a
similar course, although the damage was irreparable, in a case
which was analogous, and put the law in force against the prisoner
to the full extent.

PARRICIDE • AT .GRENOSIDE.
'A most frightful instance of the fatal effects of paision
and family dissension occurred on Tuesday, in,the village
of Grenoside, near this town. It appears that Thomas
Mari)les, and his son, of the sarne.name, lived and worked
together, and were garden tool-makers. They lived it is
stated, without any feniale in the family, in a miserably
dirty house, Where the coOking and other domestic ope- -
rations were attended to by the old man. About teivilays
ago.; the.bld man made a shovel la a wornan•nanied Nay-
lor. Ihe price of it was 4d,:; and on "Tuesday last he
went to receive the money. The 'Woman then paid him
only , 2d; alleging that his son owed, her 2d. ,The
father grumbled at having- to pay his son's debt, and
went to the' shop *here his son was working, and re-'
proached him with it. What passed there is not stated;
and, so, far as •we can learn, no other ,parties
were present. The son, however, took from the fire a
piece of red-hot iron, of which be was forming a rake,-
and thrust it at the old man's abdomen,' which it en-
tered to a considerable depth. The 'Wounded man went
to the house, which was adjoining, and went to bed:
Medical aid was obtained ; and information of. the fact
being conveyed to the police, Wilson Overeiid, Esq:
went to Ecclesfield that evening, to take, the man's de-
position. His injury, at that time, however, did not
appear so certainly to be fatal, as to induce Mr. Overend
to take the deposition. The next morning, he"was re-
moved to the infirmary, where he grew rapidly worse; and
when Mr. Overend attended on Wednesday, and his-depo-
sition as a dying man was taken, he stated that he and
his son had been on bad terms, and that when his son
had thrust the iron into him, he again put• it. into the
fire. The-same night he die:t. The bowelg protruded
to some extent from the wound ; and on a pest liwitent
examination, yesterday, it was found that, in at least one
plice, the bowels were burned through by the hot iron-
