POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Reed, of Ipswich, the owner of the Colina brig,
which was stated to have been wilfully sunk off the coast
of Holland, according to the arrangement between him
and the captain of that vessel, was yesterday bailed by
two gentlemen in the sum of 5001. each, and his own
surety to the amount of 1,0001., to appear for re-exa-
mination at the Mansion-house, when the witnesses shall
have arrived. Captain Simpson, who was apprehended
by Daniel Forrester, remains in the Compter. The
prosecution is at the instance of the Alliance Marine-
office, whose solicitors are Messrs. Pearce, Bolgar,
Phillips, and Winckworth.
Henry Smith Evan.., was brought up in the custody
of Daniel Forrester, charged with having written two
letters to Mr. Hutchinson, the Deputy-Chairman of the
Stock Exchange, demanding by what authority the cum-
plainant insulted him, and threatening, if satisfaction
were not given, to post Mr. Hutchinson as a poltroon
and a coward on the Exchange and in the Reform Club.
The LORD MAYOR, having read the letters, said he was
quite satisfied that there was ground enough for accu-
sation.

The defendant said the dispute was one of a peculiar
nature, and that he had been most grievously insulted.
Mr. Goodman (the Lord Mayors clerk) asked Mr.
Hutchinson whether he apprehended danger from the
defendant.

Mr. Hutchinson—Considering the state in which I
am, with a disabled arm (his arm was in a sling), I
think it probable that he would assault me.
The defendant begged to be informed by the Lord
Mayor how a man who had been grossly insulted was to
obtain satisfaction. He was not, he said, a fighting
man. He, however, commenced a volley of abuse
against the complainant, which convinced every one that,
although he might not be a fighting man, his language
was well calculated to provoke quarrels.
The LORD MAYOR—It is on account of the use of such
language as you have just used that it is ccnsidered ne-
cessary to require securities. You must find bail, your-
self in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each, to answer
the complaint at the sessions.
The complainant's solicitor said it was the determina-
nation of his client to proceed by indictment.
A well-dressed young man, named John Francis, was
charged with having picked the pocket of Sir Archibald
Keppel M•Donald, Bart., of the Ist Grenadier Guards,
stationed at the Tower, of a cigar-case, containing cigars.
Bissett, a private in the Guards, stated that on Friday
morning, as he was marching along with the regiment
towards the Tower, he saw the prisoner look earnestly,
in the face of Captain M'Donald, who was commanding.
He afterwards observed the prisoner follow the Captain
and pick his pocket of something, and he ran after the
fellow, who immediately fled, throwing away the cigar-
case, grasped him, and gave him into the custody of a
policeman.
Captain M'Donald said that he also followed the pri-
ioner, and he identified the cigar-case. _ _ _

The prisoner, who had a watch and gold guard-chain
and some money in his pocket, and who appeared to be
about 17 years of age, said it must be a mistake, as be
never did such a thing in his life as rob a gentleman.
He was committed for trial.

A cripple, named John Carver, who shoves himself
about in a bowl, with wheels to it, was committed to Bride-
well for two months, for having assaulted a policeman.
The defendant was calling a gentleman a d—d, hard-
hearted scoundrel, for having refused to give him alms,
when the policeman arrived, and expostulated with him.
The only answer he condescended to give the policeman
was, a " pitch into him, head foremost."

The LORD MAYOR-.-You are an incorrigible fellow ;
the last time you were here you were sent to prison for
a month.

Defendant—Not a bit of it. I never was here afore.
The Loup MAYOR—We'II see whether double the
quantity of imprisonthent will not sharpen your memory.
Whitney, the chimney-sweeper, who was charged, a
few days ago, with having sent a lad, under 21 years of
age, up a chimney, for the purpose of cleaning it, was
fined, by Sir Peter Laurie, in the penalty of 51. for tilt,
offence.

The chimney-sweeper said it was a common practice
with sweepers to violate the law in that way, and hoped
the fraternity would be looked after.

Mr. Stevens, the Secretary to the Anti-Climbing
Society, said he should be delighted to prosecute on every
occasion of the kind ; and Sir Peter declared that he
would never fail to inflict the penalty.
GUILDHALL.
. _

THE LADY TIDEVES.—Ann Elizabeth Earnshaw and
Emma Wells were phiced at the bar this day, before Mr.
Alderman Challis, for the purpose of being finally examined
on various charges of shoplifting.
_ _

Mr. Alderman. Challis remarked, that the best course to
adopt would be to take the depositions in all the cases which
were perfect, and bind the witnesses over to prosecute, which
being done,

Mr Clarkson said that as the prisoners had now been
one month in custody, and during that time the officers had
done all in their power to ascertain whether the money in
the two saving-banks, standing in the names of the prisoners
was the produce of any robbery, and they not being able to
trace it to such a source, he now applied to have the books
given up to enable the prisonirs to obtain such assistance
as was necessary to their defence. Upon the principle of
humanity it ought not to be withheld.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said, that a vast quantity of
valuable property had been found, and although note traced
yet before they could be tried, some claimant might come
forward and own it ; besides further evidence might be ob-
tained, which would show the money might be the result of
other robberies,

Mr. CLAnicsoN—lf not, you will let them have it ?
Mr. Alderman CHALLlS—Certainly. If either of the pri-
soners asked to say any thing, he would hear them, other-
wise he should fully commit them for trial on the several
charges ; but they would be brought up on Monday. the 10th
of April, and should nothing transpire they would then be
sent to Newgate.
The prisoners were then fully committed.
MARYLEBONE.

Sir Simon Clarke, Bart., residing at Oak-hill, East
Barnet, attended at this Court, before Mr. Rawlinson,
at the instance of Mr. May, Secretary to the National
Animals' Friend Society, Exeter Hall, and Mark-lane,
upon two summonses which had been obtained against
him ; one of which was for ill-treating and torturing a
horse, and the other for assaulting Henry Mander May,
an officer belonging to the said Society.
Thomas George Plume (clerk and collector to the
Society referred to) stated that on Wednesday last, be-
tween one and two o'clock, as he was passing along
Oxford-street, accompanied by Mr. May, the officer, he
saw defendant driving a horse and chaise out of Tollett's
stable-yard. Perceiving that there was a wound on the
left shoulder beneath the collar, he laid hold of the reins,
and waving stopped the animal, asked the defendant if
he.was aware of the condition it was in, but nothing
more was said to him than " Let go." The poor animal
shook as if suffering much pain, and witness perceived
another wound upon the right shoulder, from which
matter was issuing. Defendant afterwards used violence
towards Mr. Nay.
