T. Williams was indicted for stealing in a dwelling-

raised the alarm. The Prisoner made no defence, and was
sentenced to six months' hard labour at the Tread Mill.

the premises of Richard Walkham, in Water-lane, Brixton, to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.7(This DAT.),

Three operatives employed in '
the East India Com-
pany's warehouses, were brought up on a charge of having
assaulted two old men.

One of them, an old gentleman, who seemed to be a
Methodist Preacher, and wore a suit of sables, appeared
with his eyes also in mourning, and stated, that yesterday
he was passuignearßishopsgate-street, when he observed the
three defendants "larking with an old man. They exerrised
their manual witupon lum, nmbehind him andkicked him ;
knocked his hat down over his eyes, and pulled him back
every time he made an attempt to escape from them. The
complainant interfered in behalf of the old man to deliver
him, and succeeded in effecting his escape, but was himself
immediately seized' upon as a fresh subject for fun. They
renewed their sport, and he did not escape from them until
he had got a pair of black eyes.
Some other persons spoke of the general character of this
class of operatives—they had good wages, and they were
only employed from six in the morning until two in the
afternoon, and afforded a sample of what might be expect-
ed from the abridgement of the hours of labour for most of
this class. They chiefly spent their extra time in riot at
public houses, or in amusements like those now related,
and neither their wives nor their families benefitted by
their leisure. Nothing was to be expected in the way of
improvement, at least from the great majority of the pre-
sent generation of operatives.
The defendants were ordered to find bail to answer for
the assault at the Sessions.

BOW-STREET--(Tins DAT.)
Henry Hegan was brought up under a charge of having
thrust his hand into a gentleman's pocket with an inten-
tion of stealing something therefrom; it did not appear that
he had taken any thing, for one very good reason, there
happened to be nothing therein at the time—but one of
the officers having recognized him as being charged with
a similar offence before, he was committed as a reputed
thief (as the Act requires), to the House of Correction for
one month.
