LAND AND POLECE.

At the Mansion-house George Hey, the young man
who was some days ago examined upon a variety of
charges of embezzlement, 'brought against him by t
Melville, of the house of Cruikshank, Melville, and Of,
was brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alder-
man Wood. After a lengthened examination, the
magistrate said he would remand the prisoner till Pie
depositions should be made out, and then commit him
for trial.

Henry Foulkes, the driver and proprietor of a Ken-
sington omnibus, and Matthew Balls, jun., driver, and
said to be part proprietor, of a Brixton omnibus. was
summoned by the police, before Mr. Hardwick, at Marl-
borough-street, for furious driving, whereby the lives of
her Majesty's subjects had been endangered. The
riefendants pleaded Guilty, and were sentenced to hard
labour for one month. The defendants, whose con-.
nexions are very respectable, and who have up to the
transactions referred to by the police, maintained
.the
reputation of extremely civil and steady drivers, ap-
peared thunderstruck at the sentence.
At Marylebone, John Blake, a youth about eighteen
years of age, was charged with having stolen property
of different descriptions to a large amount belonging to
his :uncle, Mr. John Dyke, Park-place, Paddington-
green. Mrs. Dyke quitted London six weeks ago with
her husband, who was in ill health, and said that on
their return they discovered that Blake, who had been
left in charge of the house, had plundered the same of a
vast deal of furniture, &c. The prisoner, who admitted
his guilt, was fully committed for trial.
At the Woolwich Police-court, six seamen, belonging
to the ship Brant, of Dantzic, were next charged with
secreting 1591b5. of tobacco in the forecastle and hold,
by which they had made themselves liable each to pe-
nalties of 100/. The prisoners admitted that certain
portions of it belonged to each of them. Mr. Grove, not
having the power to mitigate in this case, sentenced
them in fines amounting to 6001.; and, in default. to
Kingston gaol.
