POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-lIOUSR.—(Tatis DAY.)
Nary Sullivan Wu charged by her muter, Mr. Robinson,
with having stolen several articles belonging to him and other per-
sons in the house.
Mr. Robinson stated, that having missed several things at dif-
ferent times since the prisoner entered his service, he caused some
search to be blade, and found that there was good reason for
believing that she had made free with what was not her own.
He determined to get rid of her as soon u possible, and sent for
an officer, to make all right between him and the prisoner. The
officer proceeded to search, and handkerchiefs and other articles
were found in a place which she had first left.—She told her
master upon being detected, that now that he had found all that
belonged to him, he ought to be satisfied. " If," said she, 4, you
will forgive me, I'll be very much obliged to you."—He, however,
thought the least he could do was to interfere to prevent other
families from being robbed.

HATTON-GAIMEN.—Twa DAY.)
Daniel Hefting _____
was brought before the Sitting Magistrate by
Lloyd, charged with stealing a silk handkerchief.A young man named Bodfield, stated, that on Tuesday night,
about nine o'clock, while talking to 4 person in Liquorpond.
street, the prisoner, who appeared to be playing with another lad,
ran against him as if accidentally,and 1.-
at the same moment lie felt
a pull at his pocket, to which be immediately applied his hand,

and missed his silk pocket handkerchief. On turning sharply
round, he saw the prisoner in the act of transferring it to his com-
panion, who immediately ran away with it towards Leather-lane,
pursued by witness. He, however, soon lost eight of him, and on
returning to Liquorpond-street, found that the prisoner had also
effected his escape.

The Magistrate asked if the person who bought the handker-
chief was present, and on being answered in the negative, said, that
as the attendance of that person was necessary, he should remand
the prisoner until Friday, and, perhaps, by that time, his compa-
nion might be found.
Lloyd said he was well known, and should be looked after.

MARLBOROUGH- S MEET-4 Tills Div.)
Francis White a respectable looking young man was brought
to this office on the following charges.
Mr. Stiles, a salesman, 28, Oxford-street, deposed that some
time since he gave five shillings fur two duplicates of the prisoner,
each for a pair of pistols. He redeemed and exposed them for
sale. A few days after this Henry Roberta asked the price of
them, and said he would call again; he did call &pulp and
identified them as having been stolen from the shop of
Mr. Egg, of No. 1, Pall-Mall, and in April last my
uncle desired the to stop the person who sold them, if I
saw him again. The prisoner eame to me yesterday, and desired
to have them back, but I detained him.
Mr. Egg attended, and swore to the pistols; he knew them as
well as his own hand ; he had carried them all through Switzer-
land. The price, new, was eight guineas the pair.
Henry Roberts, the clerk, said, they were lost in April last ;
lie missed them, but did not suspect any person at the tune.
Mr. DYIR asked the prisoner how he became possessed of the
tickets? He replied that he bought them off a Jew; they were
pledged at 1/. eaeh pair, and he gave 7s. for the tickets.
Mr. Dun remarked, that he must produce the Jew before he
could clear himself.

Cook, the constable, here stated that there were several other
charges against the prisoner ; 31 duplicates were in his possession
when he was taken, and some of the property pledged had been
taken from a box which was broken open in the house where the
prisoner lodged.

Wm. Berry, a lodger in the same house with the prisoner, No.
2, Harris-place, Oxford-street, deposed, that one of the duplicates
was for a silver watch which he had lost six weeks ago ; Lis box
was broken open, and it was taken out.
The watch was here produced and sworn to.
The landlord of the house said, that another of the tickets was
for a black waistcoat, which had been stolen from him. He never
suspected the prisoner, but told him of it, and he (the prisoner)
said, "I'm d—d if ever I saw such a house as this—there is al-
ways something lost or stolen.—l shall leave it." Ho showed me
a check, which he told me he expected to get cashed-in a few
days, when he said he would pay me the rent which he owed.
• The check was here produced, it was drawn on Smith, Payne,
and Smith, for seven pounds, and signed, G. Smith Egg : it was
dated the 28th of July, but no year.
Air. Alders, pawnbroker, Berwick-street, said the watch had
been pledged at his shop, on the 18th of July, in the name of John
Jones ; but he did not know who took it in ; the ticket was in the
writing of his son, who was young in the business. He could
not swear that he did or did not take it in himself.

"Mr. I)yza.--You see how requisite it is to be punctual in busi-
ness. The justice of the country may be defeated over and over
again by such negligence.
Mr. Alders said he, would send for his shopman, who might
perhaps recollect the prisoner. The shopman accordingly came ;
he had seen the prisoner, who pledged a shirt at their shop, but did
not recollect the watch being pledged.
Mr. Gunn, a publican in Marlborough-street, stated that he
knew the prisoner very well; he was out riding with witness
some months since ; he pulled something out of his pocket, and
asked witness if he would have a pinch of snuff; he replied yes,
and the prisoner put into his hand two pocket pistols, very like
those produced, which he said were loaded. Witness desired
him to put them in his pocket, which he then did. He was half
drunk, and witness took the reins, and would not let him drive
home. He was not alarmed at the pistols, or he would have
given him in charge.
The depositions were being entered when our reporter left the
office, and the Magistrate was undecided whether he should com-
mit the prisoner or remand him for some other charges.
