POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSiON-110U:SE.—in tliis ease, the particulars of
which we gave yesterday, and in Which Mr: Baylis, an
extensive riwhbroker and silviirsmith, in Aidersgate-street,
appeared to shew cause why a quantity of plate, of the
value of 2001. and upwards, found in his possession, should
not be detvered to Mr. William Cooper, as his (Mr.
Cooper's) property, which had been unlawfully obtained
from him by a person named Robert Bailey, and pawned
at the defendant's shop,
The LORD MAYkiii said, 'teat appeared to him, from
the *boleti the circumstances of the case. that the property
had been unlawfully taken from Mr. Cooper.
Mr. Adolphus proposed that the property should lie in
the hands of Mr. Cope, and that an action of trover should
be brought for it.
The LORD MAYOR refused to be a party to streh a pro-
ceeding; but if Mt. Cooper could produde evidence of the
identity of all the articles, he would gladly beat it before
he issued his order.

Mr. Cooper said that he certainly mild, and *Mild pro,
duce evidence to identify every one of the articles.
The Loan Mai-0R........Then p?odoce evidence, and I wir
give the order immediately.

BOW-STREET.—EXAMINATION OF MR. AUSTIN.—
Last night, about ten minutes before seven o'clock, Mr.
Austin, the late deputy cashier of Greenwich Hospital, ar-
rived at the Office, in a hael, ner,coach) in the custody of
Salmon, who hld brought him from the House of Correc..
tion, to undergo an examination on various charges of em-
bezzling the public money, which had passed into his
hands by virtue of his office of deputy cashier of Greenwich
Hospital. Mr. 'Bicknell, the solicitor to the Commis-
sinners of the Greenwich Hospital, atttnded oil the part of
the prosecution. The Office and avenues were crowded to
excess. Sir R. BIRNIE directed the prisoner to be brought
before him in a private room; and the investigation was
tr.) strictly private, that he not only refused admission to the
reporters, but also to the gentlemen who attended profes-
sionally on the pat t of the prisoner. Several witnesses
were examined, and the property contained in the trunks
seiied by the officers at the inn at Limerick, was produced.
—Between nine and ten o'clock. Sir R. Blame. ordered
the further inquiry to be postponed till a future day, and
the prisoner was remanded to the House of Correction.—
The Magistrate observed that it *as important that publi-
city thottld not be given to the evidence in the present
stage of the investigation. The prisoner sat during the
examination, and paid the utmost attention to the evidence.
He wore spectacles, and took occasional notes of the pro-
ceedings. It is not true, as has been stated, that he in
any way disguised his per Son, when he left England, by
shaving off his whiskers. He will be again examined on
Monday next.
SWINDLING.—Last night a very dashing young fellow,
who has gone by the various names of Harris, Pitzharris,
Morris, Charles La yard, Albemarle, lee., was brought
to this Office on a variety of charges. The prisoner was
dressed in a fashionable style. He is the son of a Clergy-
man of the Established Church, who is related to several
noble families, residing at Stamford, in Lincolnshire, and
he has several brothers, highly respectable and honourable
men. For the last 18 months he has been levying contri-
butions on tradesmen and hotel and livery-stable-keepers at
the.west end of the town, to a great extent. He was taken
into custody at five o'clock last evening, in the New-
road, Marylebone. He was riding in a handsome cab,
which he had hired of a livery-stable-keeper the preceding
day, and by his tilde was sitting a young well-dressed and
handsome female, when he was recognised by a Mr. Bal-
lard, who had been defrauded by him, and who knew that
a lady named Perkins had taken out a warrant against
him for stealing her watch. Mr. Ballard jumped out of
the chaise in which he was riding, and seirtd the reins of
the horse the prisoner was driving. The prisoner whipped
the horse, but Mr. Ballard unbuckled the reins, called a
constable, and gave the prisoner into custody.
A lady named Perkins now stated, that she resided at
No. 8, Seymour-place, Euston-crescent. The prisoner
took lodgings at her house for himself and a livery servant,
on the 6th of March last, and represented himself as a '
man of fortune ; he usually drove out every day in a ca-
briolet with his servant, and sometimes rode out on horse-
back; he contracted a debt of 21/. with Mr. Ballard, a
livery stable keeper, and gave him a check for the amount,
drawn on the Stamford Bank, whieh she at his request,
paid to Mr. Ballard; on the 16th of March the prisoner
informed her that he had lost his watch, and he requested
the loan of hers for a few days, to enable him to know the
hour in the morning; she lent him a valuable watch, and
on the following day the prisoner and his servant quitted
the house, and she never saw the prisoner again till that
evening; some time after he left her house the servant of
the prisoner called upon her and produced a pawnbroker's
duplicate, stating that the prisoner had pawned the watch
at the shop of Mr. Ashman, in the Strand, for 31.
The MAGISTRATE ordered him, under the Illegally
Pawning Act, to pay a penalty of 51., or to be imprisoned
for six months in the House of Correction.

Several gentlemen came forward, and requested the Ma-
gistrate to remand the prisoner for a few days, as they
were positive that numerous charges of swindling would be
brought against him.
The MaoisritaTE said that he could not detain the pri-
soner a moment after he paid the fine, unless some sub-
stantive charge was preferred against him.
Mr. Ballard stepped forward and preferred a charge,
which, he considered, amounted to either fraud or fin gery.
He received a cheque from Mrs. Perkins, drawn by the
prisoner for 271. upon the Stamford Bank, where the pri-
soner's father kept cash, and the cheque was dishonoured,
as the prisoner never had had any effects there.
On the above charge the prisoner was remanded.
The prisoner, it appears, has been for some time dis-
owned by his respectable relations, owing to his profligate
and dishonest conduct. Some very curious facts, of which
the following are an outline, will be elicited on his next
examination, when the investigation of a fraud which he
practised upon the respectable proprietor of Lomas's Ho-
tel, will take place :—About ten days ago, the prisoner ar-
rived with a very interesting-looking young woman at the
hotel in question. He said that the young woman was
his wife, and that they bad come from the sea coast, and
their luggage would follow in a day or two. He spoke of
his having been engaged in the battle of Navarin, and of
the affluence of his relations. He had apartments fur-
nished him, and he awl his fair companion lived as man
and wife. On Friday last the prisoner having contracted
a debt of about Si., and never having offered to pay his
bill, but, on the contrary, having borrowed ten shillings of
one of the waiters, the proprietor of-the hotel, on taking
up the breakfast, took the liberty of asking the prisoner
for payment of his bill. The prisoner took a cheque
out of his pocket, and said that he had no change.—
The waiter said he would get the cheque changed,
and remarked that he must send the cheque out of
the house to be changed. The prisoner asked for
the cheque again, and, on receiving it, he said, it was
drawn on a wrong stamp, and tore it to pieces. He
said that he would draw another cheque on a proper
stamp and pay his bill ; but he left the house soon after-
wards. In consequence of his not returning the same
evening, the proprietor of.the hotel was induced to inquire
of the female, whom the prisoner had left in the apart-
ments, the cause of his absence. She was in the deepest
distress, and site eventually related the following particulars
regarding her acquaintance with him, and of his seduction
and abandonment of her. She was living (she said) with
her aunt, at
met with the prisoner, who went by the name of Albe-
marle. He frequently threw himself in her way, and pro-
fessed himself her ardent admirer. o_)ii various occasions
he promised her marriage ; and his professions were ap-
parently so disinterested and honourable, that she, unknown
to her friends, took repeated walks with him. About a
fortnight ago he came near to her aunt's house at
and ;invited her to take a walk, and she accompanied
him to the sea side, when he engaged a boat. _Be-
lieving that they were going only a mile or two
for an excursion on the water, and then return, she
did not hesitate to enter the boat, but he kept her out till a
late hour, and landed her at a sea-port a considerable distance
&fon her home. On going on shore they proceeded to an
hotel, and the prisoner promised to take her to London on
the following day, and marry her. On the following day
they started for London, and on their arrival they took up
their abode at Lomas's Hotel, and she importuned him from
day to day to procure a license and marry her; but he put
it off, under the pretence that he could not get the license
from Doctor's Commons for several days. She did not
suspect that his designs were dishonourable till she found
herself deserted by him. Left, however, as she was, with-
out money or ftiends, the proprietor of the hotel humanely
allowed her to remain in his house till she had written to
her friends, and had received a communication from them.
The story she told as to the manner of her quitting her

house, and of her seduction by the pikonet, has been ascer-
tained to be true, and she will be immediately restored to
her relatives.

MARLBOROUGH-#STREP.:T.—Yesterday, the late
butler and under- hutleeef the Dowager Lady Gresley, who
had been in custody upon a charge of creating a riot at her
Ladyship's house in Conduit-street; and assaulting therein,
with pokers, a young gentleman named Selby, who happened
to be on a visit with her ladyship at the time, having been
liberated from prison upon bail, applied to Mr. DrEa, the
sitting Magistt ate, fut Warrants against Mr. Selby, the com-
plainant against them on the further oceasion, and who,
they now alleged, had committed the first assault upon them
On the day in question.
Mr- DYER, however, told them, that he Must decline
granting any warrant against Mr. Selby ; but th.it, if they
thought they had sufficient grounds for doing so, they
might indict Mr. Selby at the approaching sessions if they
thought fit. _ _ .

The applicants next requested to know, if the Magis-
trate could advise them as to the hest means of recovering;
the wages that were dice to them from Lady Grealey, and
the clothes Which they hdd left behithl filet itt her Lady-
ship's house, and to which her Ladyship now refused them
any access.

Mr. DYER told them that these were points with which
he bad no power to interfere. If they had any claim upon
Lady Gresley, they must proceed to establish it by regular
legal means, and they had better, therefore, consult a so-
licitor upon such a subject than a Magistrate.
The applicants then departed, but were not long gone,
when Lady Gresley herself Came to the office in her carriage,
and requested of the Magistrate to afford het the assistance
of some police-officers, to protect her against the renewal
of any attack from her two discharged butlers. who were
then, she sail, parading in a menacing and hostile manner
up and down Conduit street, in the front of her house,
which, her Ladyship sAid, she very much feared they would
again endeavour to force possession of, although as yet they
had not made any attempt to do so. She wished, therefore
to have those two men taken into custody, and removed
from the street.

Mr. DYER said, that FO long as the two men complained
of confined themselves to walking quietly up and down the
street, he had no power to interfere with or prevent them,
but if they should attempt to create any riot by entering the
house, or in any other way that might lead to a breach of
the peace, in that case, Mr. Dyer assured her ladyship,
that she should have the immediate assistance and protec-
tion of the officers of this offiee on her sending for them.
Her ladyship then departed, apparently quite satisfied
with the assurance the Magistrate had given her.
MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—Among the individuals
brought up yesterday morning from Marylehoneiratch-
house to be set at liberty, detained, fined; held to bail, or
committed for trial by the sitting Magistrate, according to•
their deserts, was a smartly-dressed female of middle age,
and her appearance under such circumstances commanded,
of course, particular attention. She at first endeavoured
to conceal her features with a large lace-veil ; but Mr.
RAWLINSON told her he must see her face, and it was re-
moved. She said her name was Eliza Cunningham, and
Bartholoniew Hughes, a watchman, came forward as her '
accuser. He found her on Tuesday night, " rolling on
the ground in the Edgeware-road, with a crowd of persons
about her, and she could not account for herself."
Mr. 11..awmt.sorr asked the watchman if he could ac-
count for her being in that state.
" She was kneebrated," said the watchman.

6° Kneebrated !" replied the MAGISTRATE. " Don't use
such fine words. De you mean she Was drunk ?" " She
was tosticated—quite disguised, your Worship," answered
the watchman ; " and her gownd was tore of her back ;
not that orie she wears now (a rich poplin), but another;
and as I found she had property, I took her to the watch-
house for protection."
Mr. RAwtasrsoN said he thought the watchman had
lone right, and read a catalogue of the lady's property, as
entered upon the blotting paper leaf of the watch-house
book. A purse, 17 shillings, three farthings,`a pair of
spectacles, a comb, a lace cap, a wig—(the wig made all
laugh but the lady. and she smiled)—and a wine-glass.
"A wine-glass !" repeated Mr. RAWLINSON "Ah !
there's the mischief, Madam; no doubt this wineglass
assisted youg.--"
" I was not drunk, Sir," said Eliza Cunningham impa-
tiently, cutting short the sentence of the Magistrate ; " I
was in a fit, Sir, such as I am subject to."
Mr. Raw•r.trsox—lf so, you ought to take better care
of yourself; but I must ask somebody else the question.—
Where is the constable of the night ?—Constable—Here,
Sir.

Mr. RAWLINSON-Was this lady drunk or sober when
you received the charge ?—Constable—Most beastly drunk
Sir ; she could not stand upon her legs.
Mr. RAWLIN sort—Most beastly drunk! Pray, madam,
where do you live? —Eliza Cunningham—At Kensington,
Sir.

Mr. RA WLINSOS—Are you married or single ?—Eliza
Cunnint;lia in—A widow, sir.
Mr. RA wuNsoN—Now, madam, that you may recol-
lect in future the evil consequences of such conduct, I shall
fine you five shillings.—Mrs. Cunningham—Very well—
(taking the exact sum from between her hand and glove,
and putting it down before her) ; there it is.
Mr. liAwLisisos—Oh, you ktwsv the consequences, and
got it ready.—Mrs. Cunningham—" Yes, Sir ;" and after
making a curtsey, and throwing the veil over her fice
again, she retired.
A stout Irishman, named Callaghan, was placed at the
bar, with his head dreadfully bruised, charged with having
thrown a young child into a ditch near Primrose-hill.
A labouring man saw Callaghan crossing the fields near
Primrose-hill, in the dusk of Tuesday evening, with a
little girl in his arms, and suspecting from his manners
that he intended to ill-use her, he, with two other work-
men who were with him, determined on watching his mo •
tions. They saw hint approach a ditch, but it was too
dark for them to see what he did, and on their going to
him, he took the child up, and endeavoured to get away.
they heard the child cry, and when the man was questioned
as to his intentions towards her, he said he was ker uncle,
and was going to take her to his own house. This infor-
mation did not satisfy them, and " they took him right
away to the watch-house."
The defendant said the child was his own sister's, and
he was taking it home to remain a day or two with his
children. He crossed the field as the nearest way to his
house, and the child having cried, he stayed a moment
against a bank to scrap his coat round her. While thus
engaged three men came to him, and charged hint with
having thrown the child into the ditch, when, in fact, he
never had the girl out of his arms.
The father and mother of the child said they had not the
slightest reason for supposing that Callaghan intended any
harm to the child.

All% RAW LI NSON—How came you by that broken head ?
The defendant—lt was done in the watch-house, your
Worship, because I refused to be locked up without the

Mr. 11.Am:1,v:so:N.—This man seems to have been taken
up very unjustly. lie is first improperly dragged to a
watch-house, then locked up, and, because he wishes to
have the child with him, has his head broken. lie is
discharged ; and I must say, and think, he has been very
ill-used.

HATTON-GARDEN.—George Upward, one of the
Bow-street patrol, was charged by Bolton, a watchman in
Chapel-street, Pentonville, with being drunk and dis-
orderly.
The complainant stated, that at twelve o'clock the night
before, Upward was rapping violently at a door in Chapel-
street, and annoying the entire neighbourhood, when he
came up, and finding him in a state of intoxication, took
him off to the watch-house.
The defendant explained by saying thnt he was called
upon to search after a thief, who, he was informed, had
just then got into the area of one of the houses in
Chapel-street. While he left his informant to watch the
area, he went himself to the front door of the house, and
rapped, to alarm the inmates of the circumstance, and to
gain admittance for the purpose of examining whether any
person had got in. The inmates happened at the time to
be in bed and asleep, which rendered it necessary for him
to knock louder than ordinarily, when the watchman
came up and accused hint of being disorderly and drunk;
he told him who he was, produced his authority, and said
he was in the execution of his duty, but to no purpose, for
the watchman would listen to no remonstrance, and farced
him away to the watch-house. " Many of these watch -
men," said Upward, " I know to be in conjunction with
gangs of midnight robbers, and render them every facility
in their power to commit robberies, and afterwards make
good their escape."
Mr. Sergeant Srrros reprobated in the strongest terms
the interference of the watchman with the patrol, and hay-
ing heard some further evidence, corroborative of the de-
fendant's statement, and also a very excellent character of
him for sobriety and attention to his duty, discharged him,
and said, if he thought proper to use them, there were
means in his hands whereby he might punish the watch-
mac for his conduct upon the occasion.

LAMBETH-STREET.--SHOCKING 01:TRACE AND
MIJADEv..—A miserable-looking Irishwoman, named
Eleanor Haddicorn, was charged by a poor woman named
Catherine Crawley, with the following atrocious outrage :
—The complainant stated that, on that morning, while at
breakfast, the prisoner excited her daughter, who has ab-

stonded, to pour the tea-kettle, full of boiling wafer, over
her tivo infants, which she immediately did, the prisoner
calling tint " rfdrait spare them !" Complainant endea-
voured to protect her chil'dra, but the wretches were not
satisfied till they had poured the o}l6le errntesits of the
kettld over the infants. Assistance was at length pro-
cured, and the prisoner was secured, but the daughter
escaped. One of the little sufferers was immediately taken
to the Hospital. The other, a babe in arms, was produced
in the Office. It presented a most shocking appearance,
the head and body being most severely scalded, and it ap-
peared to be in great agony from the injuries it had re-,
ceived. ,The prisoner made no defence, and she was com.
mittaal in default of bail. In the afternoon her daughter
was apprehended, and brought to this Office. On being
placed at the bat, the Magistrate was informed that the in-
fant in the Hospital had died ; and the two prisoners were
remanded for a further examination, to await the result of
the Coroner's Inquest. The other infant is so dreadfully
injuredo that it is not expected to survive.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Ann Millar was yesterday
morning brought in custody of one of the officers of this
establishre&nt, charged as being the woman who, on the
tEh of this month, inveigled as 01,1 man named Nicholas
Mapleson, residing near Boston, in Lincolnshire, to a house
of ill-fame in Petticoat-lane, Whitechapel.
On the day above-mentioned the complainant, while
walking in Whitechapel, was accosted by the prisoner at
the bar, who represented herself to be a widow in great •
distress. The complainant, Mr. Mapleson, who is a man
turned of 60, feeling for her misfortune, invited the pri-
soner to take a glass of brandy and water, for which pur-
pose they entered the nearesqublie-house, where the pri-
soner informed him that she lived in the vicinity of the
house they were then in. The complainant accompanied
the prisoner Ironic to Dillon's-court, Petticoat-lane, where,
on entering her room, lie found (in appearance) every
thing corresponded with what (as respected her distress)
she had before mentioned. After shutting the door of the
prisoner's room, to which he had been politely attended by.
the landlady of the house (Sarah Robins), he, with thy
intention of giving the prisoner Millar half-a-crown,
pulled off his coat, in the pockets of which were deposited
321. in gold and bank-notes. No sooner had he laid his
ciat on a chair, when in came (bursting open the door)
two others, a man and the woman Robins, the latter of
whom instantly seized the complainant's coat, and ran off,
the former having, with a tremendous blow, previously
given, knocked him (the complainant) down. He in-
stantly got up, and a violent scuffle ensued. Ultimately
the landlady (Robins) was secured and brought to this
office, and committed for trial. The other party con-
cerned unfortunately escaped, and with the complainant's
coat, in which were seventeen sovereigns and fifteen 11.
notes of the Boston Bank, and some silver. The C.Olll-
- having then no coat, was obliged to walk from
Petticoat-lane to Charter-house-square, where he was then
residing, in his shirt sleeves.
Mr. Twvroan (the Sitting Magistrate) ordered the
prisoner to be remanded for one week, in order that the
complainant, Mapleson, who has since left town, should be
written to, ordering his attendance.
Lady Price, the wife of a Baronet, was summoned before
the Magistrates, charged with assaulting Eliza Essex.
The complainant stated that she was a servant, and that
her mistress resided next door to her Ladyship; that on
Sunday week Lady Price, without any provocation on her
(complainant's) part, ran into the yard, which serves for
both houses, and there flung a dirty cloth into her mouth,
at the same time calling her a stinking strumpet.
Mr. Twvroan—Have you any witnesses? If so, call
them.

John Capron (a witness) deposed to his being present
on the occasion, and said that the defendant did so as stated
by the complainant.

- Lady Price—She said I was Sir Edward's kept woman.
Pray, your Worships, are such expressions to be tolerated ?
She says, also, that all my children are bastards !
Complainant—All I said was, that ker children were
no more the daughters of a Baronet than I am. In short,
they are always insulting me, and annoying me in every
way possible, calling me by names I do not choose here to
mention.

Mr. 'f w v Fox D—( Ts the former witness)—Pray, young
man; is that part of Lady Price's statement correct, where
she charges the complainant with using indecent language,
revious to the assault bring committed.—Capron—Why,
yes. She is (the complainant) always talking about the
Baronet's daughters.
Mr. Twv roan—That's a good young man, always
speak the truth.
Capron—Not satisfied with making use of epithets
which are disgraceful (on her Ladyship's premises), she
(complainant) gives every publicity to them by expres-
sions elsewhere.

Mr. TWYTORD-Then I shall lismiss the charge.
The complainant having left the 4fice, Lady Price ap
plied to the Magistrate fur a warrant against her (the com-
plainant); but, at the suggestion of Mr. Twyford, who
thought the matter had better drop at present, leer Lady-
ship retired.
UNION-HALL—Yesterday a man named Noakes, in
the employ of ,Mr. Maudslay, the engineer, was brought
up in custody, charged with robbing his master of several
articles used in the manufactory.
The complainant stated, that the firm had sustained
considerable losses, owing to the dishonesty of some of the
workmen employed vn their extensive premises. The pri-
soner had been 16 yea! s in their service, and was theretine
considered, until latterly, a trust-worthy man. In conse-
quence, however, of various articles used in the machinery
having been missed, a strict watch was kept to detect the
thief ; and on the preceding evening, when the work was
over, and the men about quittint tbe premises, the prisoner
was discovered in the act of billing a bag with rivet•, a
great number of which had been taken away, and when lee
had filled it, and was leaving the manufactory, with the
bag concealed under his apron, be was stopped with the
property in his possession.
The prisoner was committed.

Very recently five Jews of respectability, of
cod property, sad of considerable learning and acquire-
ments, have been converted to the Christian Faith, within
the city of London: This important event was consum-
mated some time since; but being desirous, at least for a
time. of remaining in quietness and peace, and being dis-
posed to avoid all hasty and open profession of their f 4 ti,
they, till lately, took no step which afforded a fair oppor-
tunity of bringing the fact under public view, On the
20th of June, however, they transmitted to Mr. PEEL,
for presentation to his MAJESEV, a most superb copy of
the Prayer-book of the Church of England, which that
gentleman lost no time in placite4 in his MAJESTY'S bands. •
It was accompanied with the following inscriptions:—

The following characteristic paragraph appears
in the Courier des Tribunaux :—Madatne ALLE was
passing the other 'lay along one of the streets in Paris, car-
rying on her arm a rich and elegant reticule; a M. Bou-
LA NC; ER, who cannot bear the idea of his fair country-
women being reproached with the least ridicule, snatched
at that of Madame ALLE and ran away. Being pursued,
however, by the lady and overtaken, he was thus addressed
Rascal, my reticule." " Well, what do I know about
it?" " You have it in your hind." " This? this is one
which I have just found." " It's mine." " Who says the
contrary? take it." " And you, rascal, go and get hanged
elsewhere ;" (va to fiirc pendre riilleurs, which is the
common observation on allowing a thief to escape without
punishment.) A police agent, however, who happened to
Ire upon the spot, did sot exactly agree with Madame
ALIA,: in opinion as to the propriety of suffering M. Poe-
LANt;ER to escape that he might commit some other crime
and be hanged elsewhere, and therefore arrested him. On
Wednesday last he underwent his trial, and was sentenced
to one year's imprisonment.
ANCIENT SONGS OF SCOTLAND.—We have
great pleasure in announcin to our readers, that Mr.
PETER BucuAN, of Peterhead, has in the press, and nearly
ready far publication, a large collection of unpublished an-
cient Songs of the North of Scotland. The indefatigable
Editor has gleaned the whole from the traditionary recita-
tions of the peasantry of the north country. The mann-
.script has been examined by Sir WALTER SCOTT, and
several other distinguished literary characters, all of whom
speak of the songs in terms of the highest commendation.
We trust that Mr. BucnArm's praiseworthy exertions to
preserve these valuable records of the ancient history of the
northern portion of his native country, will meet with that
public approbation and reward to which they are eminently
entitled.—Elyin Courier.
