POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

110 W-STREET.—Yesterday Mrs. Edwards and the Lady's-
maid, Betsey Jones, were brought up for re-examination. There
were several persons present, who had to complain of having been
swindled by the prisoners; but it appeared, upon hearing their
respective statements, that they had given credit incautiously, and
that whatever moral guilt there might be in Mrs. Edwards' mode
of obtaining their goods, there was no case (except Mr. Harris's)
which the law would lay hold of.
Whilst Mr. }Lurie was giving his evidence, Mrs. Edwards' rage
was almost ungovernable. She reddened and bit her lips, and
heaped the most unqualified abuse upon the witness. " What !"
exclaimed she, " you want to make me a thief, do you? I never
was a thief, and never will be, and I won't be made one by you,
you villain, that I won't."

" Never mind,:" said Betsey Jones, with the greatness coolness,
" they can't make you a thief."
The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate fur trial fur
stealing the spoon, and were removed from the bar, Mrs. Ed-
wards cursing and reviling the prosecutor with all her might.

WORSHIP-STREET---Buaata PIN AND Rosaaay.---Yes-
terday, a young man named Joseph Lawlor, war brought before
Mr. Bennet, charged with the commission of a robbery, under cir-
cumstances of extraordinary daring, in the house of a labouring
man named Charles Gray.
The prosecutor and his family, consisting of a wife and four
children, occupy a small house, No. 2, John's-court, Old-street-
road ; and it appeared that on Thursday night the prisoner climbed
to the window of an upper room, where the whole of the family
were in bed, and having entered without being discovered, went
down stairs, where he packed a quantity of wet linen into a child's
cradle, and left it under a window which he had opened, convenient-
ly for carrying off. He then returned up stairs, and proceeded to
ransack the bed-room, and had emptied a box containing the
greater part of the children's wearing apparel, when some noise
which he made, supposed by turning the box upside down, awoke
Mrs. Gray, and she observing something black on the floor, awoke
her husband, and whispered to him that a strange person was in
the room. He would nut believe it. He said it was impossible,
and what she had observed was merely his clothes lying in the
room. Mrs. Gray, however, to satisfy herself, put her hand out
of bed and caught hold of the flap of the prisoner's coat. Gray
instantly jumped out of bed, and seized the prisoner, who at first
affected intoxication, but afterwards explained thut it was all a
mistake. He begged pardon for the unseasonable intrusion, but
he had intended to shelter, himself in the house of his sister, Mrs.
Brown, instead of which he had unfortunately entered the prose-
cutor'''.
He was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

I 0 N-I AL. -STABBING.----Yesterday, a young man
named Edward Edwards, was charged with stabbing li. Pople,
one of the officers belonging to that establishment. Nile was on
duty no Thursday night:, at the lire which happened at Mr.
Curling's factory, in Bermondsey, when he felt a hand in his
coat pocket, and on turning round, saw the prisoner, whom
he suspected ; he struck him, and desired he would go on about
his business. The prisoner, on receiving the blow, rushed at the
officer with a knife, and cut his hand, and nearly severed four of
the fingers. Pople then endeavoured to apprehend the prisoner,
but the rascal rushed at him with the knife, and attempted to
stab him in the lower part of the belly ; but the blade of the
knife, which was a clasp one,- fortunately ripped up his trowsers
and drawers, only inflicting a scratch along the flab. The offi-
cer therefore seized the prisoner by the collar ; but the prisoner
kicked him violently in the groin, and was making his escape,
when Pople drew his cutlass, and struck him with the weapon
across the wrist, which divided some of the arteries. He went
to a chemist's shop in the neighbourhood, and had the wound
dressed, but he was shortly afterwards apprehended with the
bloody knife in his possession. He was some time ago punished
fortatabbing a watchman. lie made no -defence, and was com-
mitted fur trial.
