POLICE I NTELLIG EN CE.

GUILDHALL-
James WeVe, the boy who had been in custody several
days on suspicion of having committed numerous robberies in
the vicinity of the Royal Exchange' by entering at the gar-
ret-windows or trap-doors on the roof, was again brought be-
fore Mr. Alderman GAftnATT yesterday fur further exami-
nation.
Mr. Haddeley, of Tom's Coffee-house; Air. Martin the
hanker; and Mr. Bland, of Garraway's, whose premises'have
been broken into in the above manner, were in attendanee, as
alio home persons who had on various occasions seen the young
marauders going from roof to roof, hut as none of thew had
Made particular observation of them, so as to be able to recog-
nise their persons, 9r at least as neither of the witnesses could
positively identify the prisoner, the only case that remained to
be pressed against the latter was that of stealing Mr. Had-
dun boots, which were found upon his penton when he had
made kis way over the roof into the adjoinit4boose.
The system of the young urchina ;atm' tes.tit'Ve been, .to
walk into one of the many houses to the iiimive neighbourhood
let out as muntingeliouses, anti If they met any person on the
stairs, to ask for some fictitious name. If they did not, to make
their way through an attic window or tiap-door, and then a
wide field was open to them, and if they looked into the win-
dow of a room where a person chanced to be, which has hap-
pened to them, their excuse was ready that they were in qu,
of a stray pigeon, and this Always lulled suspicion. They seem
systematically to have avoided robbing their houses of egress
and regress, in order that the opportunity of committing future
depredations might not be cut off; and in the'hope that the
met.ns by which, they gained access' to the roofi from the
street would not be discovered. Another over-the-roof robbery
was committed in Cornhill on Thursday aftermion, it is slip-
posed, by the prisoner's associate, who escaped.
r. Alderman GARRATT having announced his intention of
committing the prisoner, the depositions term' prepared to be
read over, when it was discovered that Mr. ileddan, who hien-
tilies the boots, was absent, and the final commitment of the
prisoner was again postponed 961 Air. !fedi/Ines Attendance

Universalists " as they term themselves, who meet In a %in
of hay-loft, in :he rear of a house in King-street, West Smith-
field, applied for a summons against some person who Wad in-
terrupted ",divine service" last Sunday;. as, 3iowever, he had
forgotten to bring the documentary proof that it is a regularly
licensed meeting, the Alderman declined granting the sin4n-
mons, and reeonnnended him to proceed at once by indictment,
as the Grand Jury will'now soon he sitting.

an Irish Magi.trato, attended upon .sumnions to answer the 1
complaint of a hackney-coachman for refusing to pay the legal
fare.

&At to Betlford.square, and afterwards to Curzon-street, May-,
tair, and he demanded 34., the distance exceeding two miles.—
The defendant refused to pay more than 25., anti therefore he

The defendant ftaiti he felt confident that the dietaries did
not exceed two miles.

The coachman said he knew it did very considerably.
111 r. said he had no means of ascertaining the clic.
tans,:, but by ordering the ground to be measured by the sworn
officer with his wheel.

Defendant. _Very well then let it be measured by all
means.

Mr. HA then, let each party deposit 55., the
cost or measuring, and whoever is in the right will have his
money returned.

Alr. HALLS—AS y praise, Sir, 'eertAirip; but if you du
not, it will be my unpleasant duty' totletain- you.
Defendant_ Detain me ! 51e, Sir 1 Po you know what yon
are talking about? - I am a Magistrate, Sir;.- and repent
detaining me if you venture to take such a ste)l.- ' •
Alr. IlAt.t.s.-Af • you are A Al Agilittnie "Sir; you,'onght to

Mr. Richmond said that no More' than the Mtual costs were
charged. For, the coachman's loss of time, 2i.; for die hear-
ing,. Is.; for the suunonis.and service', 35., being the sums in-
variably charged.,
The defendant, evidently very reluctant and very much clut-
grined, paid the amount, and then turning to :qr. Halls, said,
" I shall be glad to, know your name, $ll% 1 consider than
baVe been treated very, unlike a gentleman, and I shall see fur-
titer into the matter, and with that view I desire tirberfurnished
with your name."
liam.s.—Reallv, Sir, your conduct altogether has been
so extraordinary, that although I can have lib objection to your
knowing my name, I do not feel myself Cellist. upon to shuw
you even the courtesy of giving the infer-ma:ion you require.
It is, however, .very well known here who I 1.:11, and if you
wish to be informed, one of the gaolers,' I dur.; say, will tell
you.
Carney 7 did not venture to reply to this rebuke, but
walked away without making :he itomiry of the guider.
The driver of ihe liackm,y 44. appeared upon two
summonses issued at the suit of Sir John Steven an, 'car.
brazed musical composer; for eatiering route than his -fare, and
for being drunk and ,tAlmsive.
Sir J. Stevenson steed that he hired tiut defendant to drive
hiim a distance of, less titan a mile, and when he 'got out the
latter charged him 4s. Seeing that he. was beastly drunk, he
took him into the Shop and paid hint the ts., at the .4zinie time
telling him that he ahoold be punished for t,-xtertion. Upon
this the defendant abused him.
The coachman apologised veryThmutily, and skid he would
not have offended the gentleman ter the world, it' it had not
been for the confounded drink.
His contrition, whether sincere, 0- what he himself would
call " gammon," had the eflie of it stenini; his punishment,
for lie was fined only in the, 10WW4 34.!44 of id& and coma foe
each offence.
