POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

GUILDHALL.

Thomas Hitchman, who has been remanded so-
veral times, on a charge of having been supposed to
have put the names of Bache and Co., curriers, to
a book, as a receipt for a parcel of goods which they
said they had never received, nor was the signature
theirs, was again brought up, and no sufficient evi-
dence having been brought forward against him, he
was discharged. The silks have never since been
heard of.

Anne Osborne was charged with an intention to
drop her child. Barnes, a watchman, of Cripplegate
Without, was called by the landlord of the White
Horse, Cripplegate, to search the prisoner, who he
observed to have a rather curiously packed up bundle
of rags. It turned out to be a child, and which this
suspicious landlord, Mr. George, believed he was to
have been saddled with. The watchman thought
fit to take the poor woman to the watch-house.
To-day she denied any such intention; she said
that she came to London for the purpose of receiving
her husband's pension from the West of England,
and that George being from the same part of the
country, she called on him in the hope of getting
from him a drop of beer.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSCN gave her a couple of
shillings, and ordered her to be discharged.
The person named Pearson, who has been prodi-
giously busying himself about the management of
the watch, stepped forward, and begged further to
be allowed liberally to assist the poor woman and
child, by handing over one shilling I in addition to
the worthy Alderman's two.
