POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—Yesterday one Joseph IVarc was
hrought to this office, charged with a species of felony
which the "gentlemen of the Fancy" and the police deno-
minate kidding. It consists i❑ lying in wait for errand-
boys, and robbing them of any property which they may
have in their care; and it is called kidding, because in
Fancy language all boys are called kids—probably because
the gentlemen of the Fancy, judging their neighbours by
themselves, consider human beings to be a species of per-
pendicular goat—an opinion iu which they are in sonic
degree supperted by Shakspeare, who makes Hamlet the
Dane exclaim against all mortal men as " goats and
monkeys !"

Be that as it may, the prisoner, Mr. Joseph Ware—who
on this occasion thought fit to call himself Joseph Shepherd
—has lung been
.considered by the police as a practical
• professor of the art or mystery of kidding : and the fol-
lowing is the way in which he happened to be called to
account for having practised it in the present instance :
An apprentice, to a composition doll-maker in Long-
lane was going through Bow Church-yard, Cheapside,
with a large parcel of dolls, when " a gentleman" tapped
him On the shoulder, and said to him, " My boy, that
gentlianati wants to speak to you," at the same time point-
ing to this Mr. Joseph Ware, who was standing in the
passage of one of the warehouses there, without his hat.
The boy walked towards Mr. Joseph Ware; and Mr. Jo-
seph Ware said to him, " My lad, I want you to run into
Cheap•ide and call a cabriolet for me; and I'll mind your
parcel for you the while, and give you sixpence for your
trouble." Sixpence is a large sum to a doll-maker's ap-
prentice, and the unsuspecting lad instantly put down his
parcel at the feet of Mr. Joseph Ware, arid ran off into
Cheapside for the cab ; with which he returned in about
two minutes, and found that his parcel and Mr. Joseph
Ware were both missing from the passage in which lie had
left them. Luckily fin• him, however, his parcel had been
stopped in trawilu by Roe, one of the city officers, who
chanced to be passing through Bow Church-yard, and,
seeing a gentleman whom he knew to be a professor of
kidding trotting along with a parcel, he naturally
suspected how he came by it ; and by virtue of his
office he seized him by the collar, or, rather, he made
an attempt so to do ; hut the professor, suspecting his in-
tention, threw the parcel at him and bolted. " The thing
was done in au instant," as Roe said ; but, neverthe-
less, he would have followed in full cry, had be nut at
that very instant perceived Mr. Joseph Ware bustling along
in the same direction ; and, having no doubt but that lie
Was " a party concerned," seized and detained him until
the boy came back and then the whale mystery was ex-
plained, and Mr. Joseph Ware was conveyed to the
Compter.

This wets the substance of the evidence, against him ;
but, like most eminent professors in the same line—or any
' line contrary to law—he bad engaged a solicitor, learned in
the loopholes of the law, to see whether he could nut
pull him through one of them.
The ALDERMAN, however, thought it his duty to detain
Mr. Joseph Ware for further examination ; and it so hap-
pening that another charge of his having obtained 27/.
worth of silk from another boy, by an exactly like process,
was preferred against him at his second examination; be
was fully committed to take his trial in both cases.

Two new bills were laid on the table, which are vat
about to be brought into Parliament, for amending that th 4

powers vested in the three Supreme Courts of Judi' roe kze
cature, and to extend the Mutiny Law to tht „„ii mot

The clerk then read the following resolutioo aragl';
which formed the subject of the adjourned debate-1 the " That the Court of Proprietors fully approve 0 'lt w,
the measures adopted by the Court of Directors 1114 wo,
bringing the ease of an abuse of patronage before $ 601eali
legal tribunal ; and although Captain Prescott .1, I''ctLniat

yet, having been acquitted by the verdict of a jurl WI
of the charge preferred again, t him, and the Pro' at
prietors being also satisfied that he was not actuated:enYP
by any corrupt motive, they are not disposed It to •,!'
withdraw their confidence from him as a member 11.1.._
the executive body."

The CHAIRMAN (J. Astell, Esq. M:P.) said, ths. k.fre,t
in consequence of the great importance of this Tie at 11 for
tion, the Court of Directors, in their capacity t$ Will be t
Proprietors, are determined that the sense of tlit _Jame,
Company should be taken on it by ballot.—(liefte)

Captain Prescott's patronage was withheld froth rithtbr
because of what had already taken place, or in cow

Mr. D. KINNAIRD said, this question had 'bee'
answered last day ; they only awaited the dieisiol prit
of the present question by the Proprietors. Jah n

..LTEL MARKET. luly 1. ........______
We have a ve.y slender attendance of farmers to thi°
day's market, which may be attributed a good deal to the L 41,113 A
present extreme fine weather, and their being busily en'
gaged with the Hay. The little Wheat offering fully equalled
the demand, and the millers supplied themselves with the TO
best qualities, at a reduction of Is. per quarter from the Within t
currency of last week ; secondary runs, and chambered on wal
parcels, are quite neglected. We cannot notice any altera' o'Clock
tion in the value of Oats ; the very trifling business passing ALL
in them is at last week's prices. Beans and Pease without

CATTLE 1114titKET.--The show to-day consisted of
1227; viz. 44S three -years-olds and upwards; 213 two-
year,olds, 267 stirks ; 123 highlanders ; 163 quest, and
23 cows. The show of drove cattle excelled any we have
bad for a long time; the best lot was from the Stext;artry
of Kiikcuilbtight, and we can safely say that we have
Seldom seen its equal at-the age and price; it was bought
for the Norwich market at 11/. 15s. per head; the other
lots though in good condition, were considerably inferior to
the One we have mentioned, and sold at from Si. 10s. to
nine guineas per head. The two-years-olds were -s poor
show, both in point of numbers and quality, and the prices
are the same as formerly. The highlanders looked very
fresh, and sold well: the best lot of drove ones bought
81., and the next best 71. 10s. per head. The show of stirlo
was a Lir one, and they generally sold well; superior
beast.s brought from 5/. to 5/. 104., and interior front Sh
to 3/. 10s. per head. A number of the two-years-adds
were rather late in taking their departure from the Sands,
consequently we may infer that dealing in that description
of cattle was rather dull.
