POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.,-- Thomas Saunders, a well-dressed
young man, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE yes-
terday, having been detected the previous evening in an
attempt to steal a large quantity of apparel from the pre-
mises of Mr. Matthews, a law stationer, in Castle-street,
Holborn.

It appeared that Mr. Matthews and his children slept in
the front room on the second floor, and soon after eight
o'clock on Tuesday evening, the servant went to that room
with the children to put them to bed. A boy, about seven
years old, remarked that he heard a noise under his father's
bed, such as a cat would make, and the servant immedi-
ately desired a younger child, a girl, to look under the bed.
The child reported that she saw a pair of trousers there,
but being told to pull them out, she replied that she could
not, and it occurred to the servant that a man might be
tinder the bedstead. She ran to the door and screamed
and looking back again, and seeing the prisoner put his
head out from the suspected corner, screamed still louder,
and ran down to her mistress. Mrs. Matthews, upon hear-
ing the story, hastened to the bed-room; she met the pH=
soner on the stairs,.but her maternal feelings overpowered
her sense of personal danger, and, without regarding him,
she rushed on to. the assistance. of her children. A 'little
lower, however, the prisoner encountered Mr. Tomei, an
elderly gentleman, whonoccupied the first floor, and who,
armed with a poker, threatened to split his skull if he came
'down another stair. The servimt girl soon brought in the
watchman and some other persons, who found the prisoner
standing on the second pair of stairs, 'Without his shoes, and
guarded by Mr. Turner.
The prisoner said he found an inner door, at the foot of
the stairs, standing open, and having no money to pay for
a lodging that night, be walked up into the room merely
to repose.

That the prisoner meant to take something more than a
little repose was evident, however. He had collected a
large bundle of apparel under the bedstead, and in his
pockets were found a pistol, a razor,, and some trifling
articles, which he had gathered in the bed-room and a
room on the third floor. There were also five latch keys
of different sizes (one tiled, seemingly to fit Mr. Matthews's
door), and nine skeleton keys, suited for opening small
locks on chests of drawers, cupboards, &c. and a phos-
phorus box.

Sir P. LAURIE congratulated Mr. Matthews upon the
discovery being made so early in the evening. If it had
occurred later, when Mr. Mathews was at home, it might
have been attended with painful results. He told the pi i-
soner he might then say whatever he chose in his defence;
or, if he were so disposed, he might be silent.
The prisoner replied he should not make any defence.
Sir PETER asked him to give some account of himself.
The prisoner said lie mostly worked-at tailoring, but had
not been regularly instructed. He was a native of London
and bad no friends.

He was then committed for stealing the pistol, and some
clothes belonging to an apprentice, which the prisoner had
removed from the third to the second floor. This was
only a part of his intended booty, valued at 2/. and there-
fore his life will not be in jeopardy.
An old woman, named Mary Anne Stroud, who has
long been a " snapper-up of unconsidered trifles," was
charged with having stolen a bucket from a private yard
in Fore-street, en Tufa lay last. In reply to which charge
she pleaded the First of April.—" Lord love your Wor-
ship !" said she—" it was nothing but a joke in regard of
April foot- lay !"—And his Worship, in regard of her pre-
vious character, and by way of making her joke more coin-
plete, sentenced her to a month's imprisonment.

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday being the day named by
Mr. HALLS for further inquiring into the charge brought on
Saturday last, by Mr. Evans, the proprietor of the Cider
Cellar, Maiden-lane, against Mr. Isaac Medea., who,' it
will be recollected, was accused of having sent a letter,
purporting to be written by Mr.- Drinkwater Meadows, the
comedian, requesting the loan of two sovereigns, which
letter was afterwards proved to be a forgery, the several
_witnesses in the case were in attendance at the time ap-
pointed, but the accused himself, notwithstanding his un-
dertaking to attend, did not think proper to appear. His
Solicitor, however, Mr. Hill, came forward on his behalf,
and, addressing Mr. Halls, said—
" I appear here, Sir, on the part of the defendant.
There is, I understand, no further evidence to be offered in
addition to the case for which he is held to bail ; and I am
therefore willing that tke prosecutor and witnesses may at
once be bound over for their appearance at the Sessions."
Mr. Hau.s—But where is the defendant Medes ? Why
is he not in attendance? He should have been in attend-
ance. Mr. Hill replied that his clieut the defendant was
unable to attend in person.
Mr. HALLS—But, Sir, I told you he is bound to attend,
and he must attend. Mr. Hill—My client has been bound
over to appear at the Sessions, and I do not conceive that
it is at all necessary he should appear again before you.
Mr. Haus—Don't tell me, Sir, what you think neces-
sary. He ought to have been here, and he must be here.
Let a warrant issue immediately against him ; and if he
does not come by fair means, let him be brought before me
neck and heels. Mr. Hill said, that according to the terms
of the recognizances, his client was bound to appear at the
Sessions, but these was no stipulation that he was to ap-
pear again at this office.

Mr. HALLS said, that at the time the case was adjourned
it was perfectly understood that the accused should attend
on the present occasion. Mr. Hill repeated that his client
would certainly appear at the Sessions, where only it was
his determination to meet the charge.
Mr. HALLs.—But he should be here to meet it. Mr.
Hill observed that most scandalous statements bad appeared
in the newspapers respecting the last examination.
Mr. HALLS.—Don't talk to me, Sir, about any suck
nonsense. Let an officer go instantly and bring the de-
fendant by force before me.
Ledbetter said that he would execute the Magistrate's
order.

Mr. HALLS theii observed, that he did not see what bu-
siness Mr. Hill had to come with such stories. Mr. Hill,
in reply, said that as his presence was disagreeable to the
Magistrate, he certainly would not again appear before him.
Mr. HALLS.—Be off about your business then, we
don't want you here. Mr. Hill accordingly retired, and
thus the matter ended.

Charles Smith and Jeremiah Latchford were placed
at the bar, the former charged with having, in company
with another man named Odes, who is not yet taken into
custody, stolen a horse and gig from the premises of Mr.
Jennings, of Staines, Middlesex, and the latter with hav-
ing received the same knowing them to have been stolen.
The principal witness against theaccused is a man named
Hall, who was evidently himself concerned with Smith and
Odes in planning the robbery in question. According to the
evidence of the witness, it would appear that he was privy
to the plan of robbing Mr. Jennings, for some time prior to
the commission of the act. Smith and Odes, he said, in-
timated their design to him, and asked him to join them in
robbing Mr. J. of bishorse and gig. Hedeclined having any
thing to do in the matter, and gave information of what he
heard to Colonel Carmichael, a Magistrate, residing in the
neighbourhood. On the night of the rubbery, he said he
was passing the premises of Mr. Jennings, when he saw
Odes and Smith in the act of taking away the horse and
gig from the stable-yard of the prosecutor. Smith said to
him, "Is that you, Bill ? You must not say that you saw
us here." They then drove towards London. The state-
ment of the witness was extremely circumstantial ; but
Mr. Halls did not appear inclined to give it much belief,
particularly when it was ascertained that the witness did
not come forward to state where the horse and gig might
be found until a reward had been offered for their recovery,
He then stated that the property was at the residence of the
prisoner Latchford, at Woodford-bridge, in Essex, where,
upon inquiry, the horse was found, in the prisoner Latch-
ford's possession ; but the gig-bas not since been traced.
Colonel Carmichael corroborajed the statement of Ilall,
and deposed to the fact of his having appeared before him
to give information of the intended robbery. Such, how-
ever, was the number of similar informations that the Co•
lonel said he was in the daily habit of receiving, in conse-
quente of the many burglaries committed in the neighbour-
Imod; that the information of Hall escaped his attention, or
he would have acquainted Mr. Jennings with the matter.
The case was remanded for a week, in order to obtain
more positive testimony will► respect to the guilt of the
accused, as the Magistrate was evidently under the im-
pression that it would not be safe to commit the prisoners
upon the unsupported evidence of Hall.

THE GAME LAWS.—At tlae last Quarter
Sessions of Chester, all the cases for trial, without one ex-
ception, were indictments under the Game Laws.
