POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 00;
Mathew Riley, the young man lately a clerk"
office of Messrs. Lane and Croft, solicitors, Lilac4lo
fields, who was taken into custody some days ae. ffr,
house of Mr. M‘Gewran, a licensed victualler, ,s,:fro
mall, on a charge of attempting to take away the V,
Mr. M4Gowran, by presenting a loaded pistol at hit"
because he refused to change a 501. note for the pt
was yesterday brought before Mt. Comma?, the :0,
magistrate, ihr re-examination. The prisoner's p 057061,
of a large sum of mor,ey, including the 50/. note ';#01
Bank of England, which he endeavoured to destrof.
taken into custody, has been, until yesterday, ineol'ier,
much mystery, as he was known to have quitted tl3B
vice of Measre. Lane and Croft only a few days beiv'oo;l
apprehension in a state of great pecuniary embarrsolyl
but it is now ascertained beyond all doubt, that
monies found upon him were the produce of afore'
mitted by him upon his late employers.
The prisoner is a very short thick-set young mon',"
Mr. Hopper Banks being sworn, deposed that be
of the clerks in the banking-house of Messrs. Grote' ty
cott, and Co, No. 62, Threadneedle street, and
had known the prisoner some time pasttiait olerk
Lane and Croft, solicitors, who keep an account atlo,l4il
Grote and Prescott's house ; that on the 16th of unOl
instant the prisoner brought the cheque now prod!t
the banking-house, and received payment of it therlookt
the 'viten* in one note of the Bank of England for
numbered L 8,276, and dated the 20th of September, 'ld
two 40/. notes of the Bank 'of England, one nub"
2,016, dated 23d July, 2828, and the other tlytt
19,802, dated 2.9 d of April, 1328 ; and ten :4,064
silver.

The cheque paid in this manner ran thus :
" Messrs. Grote, Prescott, and Co.—Pay Stool'.
one hundred and eighty pounds ten shillings.
" .£lt3o 10e. " LANE and Caw"' te
Mr. Charles Lane deposed that he is a solicitor, inl°oo
nerahip with Mr. Croft, and residing at No. tiS, o°oo
inn-fields ; the prisoner had been in his service 01
for upwards of five years, but quitted Lim on last Ttoro
week. The checque now produced was not written Volt
witness, nor did he ever authorize the prisoner, or 0400
else, to write it. The whole of the cheque, the witeeig
was elessly in the hand-writing of the prisoner.
Mr. Archer Denman Croft deposed to the same •0
Mr. Lane, and also said that he had no doubt kut
.
cheque produced was written by the prisoner.
Mr. CONANT asked the prisoner if he had any 7, .
appear for him ? Prisoner--I appear here for rnyfewsd
Mr. Coleaser-e-The evidence in this ease, fersol
has been gone into, seems very strong against you,
think you ought to have. some legal adviser.
t/j
Prisoner—Faith I don't know how I am to procie,llll
legal adviser with an empty purse (pulling out bowoi
poekets of his trousers quite empty): this I think
best reason I can give for having no legal adviser. t ;I'
o
Mr. CONANT—But you have had some money, ' (1,0
though the large sums found in your possession,I
and I_st
are clearly the produce of this forgery, have been Cl' ,
detained, you have had a sovereign and ss. given to
Prisoner—Well, if I have, it was my own money'
I have spent it. •
Mr. CONANT—Perhaps, after all, if you have 9400
fence .to make, it may be better that you should reserA•
fur another place, as it will certainly he my duty to.
mit you for trial. '
/4
Prisoner—You may he sure, that if I even•bw
thing to say, I should not say it here.
,tr
Mr. Lane said, that there was one circumstance of
markable character, which he wished to state reepe;o
the prisoner. About a month ago he found it necoo9
discharge the prisoner from his service, owing to a
and general neglect of attention to his business ; add
ill-founded complaints, notwithstanding this neglect, 1,0
his salary had not been iraised for him: The day af'?
discharge, however, the prisoner came to the office esooand at his request had a private interview with him ,
Lane), in which the prisoner urged, in the most PI Tor
manner, to be again taken into the office at his forme ire
lary, as his being discharged would be his ruin, and
jure his character that he could .never hope to get eO9
went again elsewhere ; and, pulling a loaded pistol. oil
his pocket, declared that he must blow his own brain
if he (Mr. Lane) refused to reinstate him in his situsoe
for that he had no other means on earth of subsitty
and that he was, besides, overwhelmed with debts,
distracted him. This appeal, Mr. Lane said, the pt./
enforced with lung quotations from the works of Ed'"
Burke and other authors, and delivered in a wilds'iiel
strain and manner that made him (Mr. Lane) Wed
the poor fellow's final dismissal from his situation, sve..„,ek,
down as he described himself to be with etnburriswl,
might seriously and permanently affect his rnitei!.,so
he promised him that he should be again re/001
into the office, which be accordingly was on the
edl
day, sod continued there until Tuesday week last, WI,'OI
withdrew himself from the office altogether of his &I
cord, and they heard nothing more of him until they'
ed that he was in custody. Mr. Lane further sitiotare,
for a considerable time before the prisoner's first diedil
a month since, there was observable a great alteratldi
strangeness of manner about him ; his memory 11` fed
entirely to have failed him, for he forgot almooloei
thing that he was desired to do in the business 000,'
office, and all the other clerks now bring to mind 011
singularities in his conduct of late, which at the tir!)lti
not make so much impression upon them, to that reWOlO
(Mr. Lane) had little doubt but that the young ritaio
was seriously affected.
Mr. CoNANT said, that if such were the ease, it
be a subject of consideration in another place, id
no doubt have its due weight.
601'1
Mr. Lane said, that he should wish for pal 4,04
reasons to have the prisoner remanded again fur a '
examination.
Mr. CONANT said that the prisoner must be rellfilo,
to another day, as the Clerk of the Bank of Engl49l: et
changed the 100/. note, it appears, for the pritotieu
some other witnesses, were not now present.
iN
The prisoner was then remanded for a week, 1101,8;101
gaoler was urging him away from the bar, be said,
a— hurry you are in !"
