POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday Aaron Levi, a Jew
dealer in watches, was brought up in custody, charged by
Mr. Flyam Abrahams, a gentleman of the same persuasion
and occupation, with an offence, which, after the cause was
heard at gnat length, puzzled the presiding authoritiea to
determine whether it was a felony or a fraud, or simply a
breach of contract.

Mr. Abrahams stated, that on Friday he went into the
shop of a pawnbroker in Whitechapel to look out fur any
thing that might suit him. The pawnbroker showed him
a lot of watches, for which he asked 401., and after a slight
inspection, he offered 86/. Just at that moment, Levi en-
tered the shop, and Abrahams Lavin been given to ttn-
derstand that the watches were Levi's, broke off the treaty
with the pawnbroker, went out of the shop with Levi, and
proceeded to bargain with him. They parted without
coining to any agreement, and Levi afterwards went to his
house, and offered. for 61.- the duplicates of the watches,
which were in pledge for 301. Abrahams refused to pur-
chase the duplicates, but advanced Levi the SOL, for which
the watches were pawned, and the interest, and went with
him to the pawnbroker's, and had them released and
brought him to his houst=, where, on a closer inspection,
he thought them not worth more than 4/. 'W.., in addi-
tion to the money that had been paid upon them, anti re-
fused to give more. Levi refused to take less than the 61.,
and departed in a passion. On Sunday evening he returned
to Mr. Abrahams' home, and by calling out that lie had
been robbed collected a great mob. Saute of the neigh-
bours who had Leen brought to the house by the disturb-
ance, inquired into the cause, and having heard the story
of each party, advised Levi either to repay the money ad-
vanced, or to take the 4/. 101. which had been offered in
full .payment of the articles. Levi professed to agree to
the latter proposal, and a receipt to Abrahams for the
money was drawn by one of the mediators. Levi then re-
fused to sign the receipt until the 4/. 10s. was laid upon
the table. This was complied with, and he instantly seized
it, put it into his pocket, and swore that be would never
give a receipt until the remainder of the 6/. was banded
over to hiw. An officer was in consequence sent for, and
Levi was given in charge, and the officer not only took him
into safe custody, but also took the 4/. 1 Os. from him.

Sir J. PERRING, after having heard the case and found
that Levi still refused to sign the receipt, was for some
time at a loss low to deal with the charge ; but after con-
sideration, he desired Mr. Abrahams to keep the watches,
and the officer to keep the money ; and toll Levi he might
either bring an action for the recovery or sign the receipt ;
but in his (the Alderman's) opinion, the conduct of the
defendant nearly approached a felony.
Levi still refused to sign the receipt, and left the justice-
room to seek his remedy in a court of law.

GUILDLIALL—MirthOIomew fair has rarely produce(l
fewer charges of felony than this year. The number of
commitments has not evceeded ten.

Yesterday a young man, who gave his name Michael
Elmer, was charged before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY with
stealing a silver watch.

At a late hour on Saturday night, it appeared, he crept
under the canvass at the hack of one of the gingerbread
bioths belonging to a man named Mills,. and had remov-
ed the watch, and found out the spot where the cash
was kept, without being discovered by the persons be-
longing to the stall, who were busily engaged with their
Customers in front. The prisoner, however, accidentally
overturned an oil can, which excited suspicion, and
Mills running round saw his heels projecting, and drag-
ged him out. The prisoner left the property behind ; but
having removed it, the offence was complete in the eye of
the law.

The,prisouer said he crept under to look for a favourite
little dog; tut the Alderman did not believe it, and com-
mitted him for trial.

Alm !Aron, a boy, was couvnitted for cutting. his Way.

Ann Collins, an appleWontan, who used to sit near the
gates of the Fleet-prison, was charged with !dealing' a box
of female apparel, value upwards of 51. -
On Monday last, a prisoner named John Troakes, who
had been confined above seven years for contemf►t of the
Court of Chancery, was liberated ; and on placing his goods
outside the gates of the Fleet, the prisoner . drew the
box away from the rest of the property, and concealed
it by sitting on it. The other articles were taken off in
a cart, and the prisoner was noticed sitting on the box
above an Lour afterwards. Troakes did not miss it till
the next morning ; and a shawl, a part of the contents of
the box, was found in pawn. The pawnbroker believed,
but would not swear positively, that he received it from the
prisoner. The prisoner declared she left the box behind
when she went home.—She was committed for trial.

The Ar.nEttatax ordered half a eartJoad of gaining

ROW-STREET.—Yesterday Mrs. Stamp Sutton
Cooke was brought forward for a final examination, the
magistrates having expressed their determination to commit
her for trial for feloniously stealing Mr. RAI/44-,EO--'-iLI
pianoforte, as soon as the, evidence of th,re..,-i time resided at
livered the instrument to, the
the house of Cap.tain,Pai`,*ti 1.3r-i'9NBlila he obtained.
-a—bout five or six Weeks ago he
'llecel:ipanisd Mr. Rathluachar's son to No. 12, South
Parade, Chelsea, with a piano. Witness helped to carry
the piano into the parlour, and was told by a lady to place
it in a particular corner of the room._

Sir 13. 13iarti E—Do you see that lady in the office-now ?
—The witness looked übout, but was unable to identify the
prisoner._ _ . .

The Magistrate asked the witness what was his belief
with respect to the prisoner at the bar? Witness—She is
like the lady whom I saw in the parlour, but I can not
swc.r positively to her, as I did riot sce her face. The lady
gave orders to her servant to bring some beer for mys'elt
and partner, as it was a dry job.

Thomas Lovett, another porter, stated that he accom-
panied the last witness and young. Mr. Rathmacher to
No. 12, South Parade, Chelsea, to Dave a piano for hire.
A lady who stood at the parlour-window opened the door
for us.

Mr—Mum—Did the Lily appear to be the mistress ?
How was she dressed ? Witness—She had on a white
jacket, such as my wife weals.—(Laughter.)
Mr. lIALLs—Did the holy with the white jacket give
any directions in your presence for placing the piano?
Witness—Yes, she ordered it to-be placed in a nook in the
parlour when., a small table stood, aiu as soon as we placed
it there, the lady- began to play some pretty tunes, which
appeared to please a little girl who was in the room, and
who called the lady mamma.
Mr. IL tu.s—Look about, and tell us if you see the lady
whom you mention.
The witness looked at the prisoner, but he also was un-
able to swear positively to her identity.
Mr. 11/am—Have you no recollection of the lady's
face? Did you perceive nothing remarkable about her,
except her white jacket? Witness—l looked at the jacket
because it was so late in the afternoon, and my wife always
takes hoes off in the morning.—(Loud laughter.)
On being further questioned, tt e witness said he thought
the lady was a dark woman. When she opened the door
she asked if that was the piano (coin Mr. Ratbinacher's?
The witness answered yes, and asked the lady if her name
was Sutton ? she said it was, and that it was all right.
Mr. Har.r.s—l think that will do.

Mr. Smith, the prisoner's attorney, suggested that the
person of whom both the porters spoke was Grant, one of
Mrs. Sutton's servants.

Mr. IlArns—You will have every opportunity given
you at the Sessions of showing that. In the meanwhile
let all the witnesses be hound over, and give them notice to
attend before the Grand Jury at Clerkenwell to-morrow.
The witnesses were accordingly bound over, and the
prisoner was removed from the bar to Newgate. She will
he indicted for f,loniously stealing and taking away a
pianoforte, value 36 guineas, the property of Mr. George
Rathmaeher.

As soon as the prisoner was removed, Sir R. BIRNIls:
stated that he had received u letter from Mr. Foss, who is
Secretary to the Guardian Society for the Prosecution of
Swindlers, stating that it was not the intention of the So-
ciety to indict Drummond, Burgh, and others, as no mem-
.ber of the Society had been defrauded.
In the event of the Grand Jury throwing out the bill
against Mn.. Sutton, or in case of her acquittal, a detainer
will be lodged against her, as she will be included in the
indictment against Drummond, Burgh, and others, if such
indictment be preferred. It is leaned, however, that owing
to the expense of a proceeding of this description, the pro-
secution will fall to the ground. A public subscription
was suggested, but has not been followed up.

ATTON-GARDEN.—The two young men, named
Wen. Cox and Samuel .11iltler, who were charged at this
office on Friday last with stealing fron► the shop-window
of Mr. -Newcomb, jeweller, No. 9, Great Turnstile, Hof-
born, by cutting out the glass, 17 diamond rings, of the
value of 501., were yesterday brought up for final examina-
tion before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. LAING.
It appeared, from the evidence of numerous witnesses,
that about nine o'clock in the forenoon of Friday, the pri.
toners, together with a third person, who when the alarm
was given effected his e►cape, were observed hovering about
the prosecutor's shop, and occasionally standing to look in
at the window. A person of the name of Scholey was
passing at the time, and curious to know what those per.
sons were at, drew quite close to them, when, as soon as.
they caught his eye fixed upon them, they started off, the
prisoner in the direction of Holborn, and the other indi-
vidual towards Lincoln's-inn-fields.. At this moment it
was discovered that the window was cut, and a cry of
" stop thief," which alarmed Mr. Newcomb's shopmau, who
happened to be up stairs at breakfast when the robbery was
committed, was instantly raised, and uric, of the prisoners
flung two cards, containing five rings each, into a cheese-
monger's in Turnstile, and both continued their Wit,
followed by the shop►nan, through Hand-court, Red Lion-
street, Lamb's Conduit-street, and into Brunswick-square,
where Cos, having been seen to throw a card containing
five inure rings over the palings in the square, they were
stopped and taken into custody.
The rings were produced, and identified by the shopman,
who had p!aectl them in the window th ►t morning.
}Elder, to some interrogatories put by the M igistrates:
answered that lie is a married man, was formerly a printer,
but has been a dyer. Cox, who is abe ash-maker,
refused to 'newer any questions.

They denied the charge, but stand committed till Wed-
nesday, whe❑ they are again t be brought up, on an ex-
pectation that other charges of a similar nature will then
be preferred against them.
MARLBOROUG I-I.STREET.—A young man named

William Willis wits brought to the office in custody,
charged With forging, or uttering, knowing to be forged, a
cheque for 64/. with intent to defraud the proprietors of the
Times journal, or else to defraud Mr. J. Davis, en ex
tensive newspaper-agent and publisher, residing at No. 47,

employer, he never came near Mr. Davis's at all, nor was
he afterwards heard of until yesterday; when he was ap-

Mr. Davis said that he had also discovered that the pri-
soner had defrauded • him of several sums of money Which
were given to him to pay for evening papers, butliebieh he

which she occupied on the first floor, and soon after she

Mrs. Loder retired to rest about 12 o'clock,
an aparr-
ment they occupied adjoining to that m nitwit Elizabeth
slept, but in about an hour after they bad been in bed,

they distinctly heard a whispering in Elizabeth's room, and

whisper, they came ttdealftlttfir.- To as; ertain the fat r,
somebody elastiOri-ed to the stratagem of feigning illness,
as it is usual to have at least two persora,,,
suddenly calling upon Elizabeth for her assistance. -
With this view she knocked at Elisabeth's room, but it NS tr,
a considerable time before she could make Elizabeth Ilea;
-or at least seem to hear. After some time, however. -
zabeth did answer, and Mrs. Loder desired her to go ta
the kitchen and get some hot water, for that she (Mr ~
Lode?) was not very well ; but this Elizabeth was ev -
dently very reluctant to do, as indeed she was to opt
her room door at all, and she kept repeating inside—
"Dear Ma'am, I am so sorry that you should be taken
just now, as lam nut very well myself." At lag, how -
ever, after a great deal of shuffling on the part of Ebz A-
bed), Mrs. Loder got the door a little open to hand her a
pint pot in which to bring up the hot water, and then su
denly pushed the door in, both Mr. and Mrs. Loder entered
the room with a light, and there found the In.de prisoner
stretched at full length upon Elizabeth's lied, wide awake,
with all his clothes on, and Elizabeth herself afso full
dressed, so that it was clear she had not been to lasi at all.
From the circumstance of both the prisoners bein4 entit
dressed at that hour of the night, Mr. Loder had little
but the intention of the male prisoner at least was to
the house; and with this impression, lie called the
watchman, and had both the prisoners conveyed to the
watch-house. As they were going along to the wat..l,-
house, Mr. Loder sail that he had hold of the prisoner ,
when the latter suddenly knocked or posited him down, mat
endeavoured to make his escape, which he would have suc-
ceeded in effecting had it not been for the watchmen who
pursued and secured him.
Elizabeth H—, who is a remarkably plitin-lookin4
girl, almost seamed with the small pox, said in her own
defence, said that she did not invite Mr. 13— to her
room, nor did she very well know what it was thic
brought him there—but being there, she found it impo-i-
-sible to get him out, although she several times told him
that he had done a very wrong thing in -coming there•
all, desired hint repeatedly to be Off with himself, :out
three or four times shoved him against the door to get him
all would not do. Nut knowing how to get him
out, but
out of the house, - she t. as coinpened to stiffer him to re-
- main in the room all night, on his promise only, ho wever,
that he should sleep with his clothes on.

The male prisoner, for himself, Paid that he really could
not tell how or why it was that he chanced to make his
on that night to Elizabeth's room, a place that he never
was in before in hi, life. It was a very foolish thing, hr
confessed, for him to have gone there, and he knew not how

it happened, unless it was that he had taken a drop too
much rather, and lost his way.
Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate, said, that although Mr.
Loder was perfectly right in sending both the prisoners,
under the circumstances, to the watch .house, he did not thick

there was sufficient grounds as yet shown that they had any
design to commit a robbery, or to proceed against them for
that offence. He should therefore dismiss the girl, but
should inflict a fine of 10s. en the male prisoner, for the
assault on Mr. Loder, in going to the watch-house.
B— said he could not pay the fine at present, not having
any money about him ; and in defsult he was ecinnitt,-,i
for ten days to the House of Correction.
uNiexar_MALL.—Yesterday, a boy named llatlecl96
under 12 years of age, belonging to a very rorirad,a,!..
gang, calling themselves the" Forty Thieves," was brought
before the sitting Magistrate Mr. HONE, charged with at-
tempting to pick a gentleman's pocket of a handkerchief.
A Mr. Brown, the complainant, stated, that as he was
passing along the Waiworth-road that morning, a?compa-
nied by a friend, be felt a tug at his coat-pocket, and on
jurning round, saw the prisoner running away. Siispect-
ing he had taken 83mething, the complainant ',nestled and
overtook him, when the former ascertained that altlionOt
he did not lose hiS hanikerchief, yet the prisoner had
nearly effected the robbery, it having been dragged out of
the pocket, and an end caught by accident on one of the
buttons, which prevented the young thief from effecting
his object. A person who saw the prisoner attempt to piek
the complainant's pocket gave evidence of that fact.
Mr. Hong made some inquiries respecting the " ,y
Thieves," in reply to which it was stated that the thieve.
belonging to the gang had.peculiar marks on their hand.
and arms, by which they were known to each other.
The prisoner was ordered to exhibit his, upon which lie
pulled up the sleeve of his waistcoat, and pointed out two
capital letters, marked apparently by .gunpowder on the
skin. The letters were described to be the initials of his
name, and also that of a prostitute, for every juvenile thief
belonging to the gang was stated to have each his fincY
woman." There was also a similar mark between the pri-
soner's fore-finger and thumb.
The Magistrate committed the prisoner for three mouths
to Guildford, remarking that Eis the secret marks of the
gang were now well known, there would be little difficulty
in discriminating those forming the " Forty Thieves" from
other offenders, and he (the magistrate) should make a dis-
tinction between them by sending the former to the gaol,
where they would have less chance of coming in contact-
with each other.
