POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.

Reynolds, who was stated to have been an accomplice of
Godwin the policeman, lately convicted of a burglary and rob-
bery in the house of an old woman, named Sarah Lewis, a ma-
rine-store shopkeeper, in Silver-street, was brought before thu
Lord Mayor. The policeman, who, it will be recchlected,
sated that he r ceeived information from a man named Reynolds
that Mrs. Lewis had purchased stolen goods, and that Reynolds,
upon accompanying him back to her house, after she had been
charged at the station-house, took away her cloak, in the belief
that an owner could be found for it, was sentenced to 15 years'
transperta•ion, and orders were given by the Court of Alder-
men that if Reynolds could be found Le should be prosecuted by
he City Solicitor.
The ptisoner, upon being placed at the bar, said he must re-
quest. that all the witnesses be ordered to leave the Court.
The witnesses having been sent out of the office,
Mr. Martin. of the City Solicitor's office, stated that the pri •
'otter was charged with having, accompanied by a person already
convieked, committed a burglary in the house of Sarah Lewis.
Mrs. Lewis then came forward and repeated the statement
which she made at the Justice-room ar,d the Central Criminal
Court against Godwin, the policeman.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you see the prisoner on the night
of the occurrence ? Mrs. Lewis—l never saw this man at all,
my Lord.
Prisoner—Now, Mrs. Lewis, I have a question or two to ask
you. Do you know me? Mrs. Lewis—No.
Prisoner—Now mind what you say. I ask you do you not
emember my dealing at your shop? Mrs. Lewis—Never.
Prisor.er—Wbat ! Did I never buy binding and twine at
your shop? Mrs. Lewis—The IA rd knows, I don't know.
Prisoner—Don't you recollect selling to a little man? Mrs.
Lewis-1 hope you were not pith the little man. If you were
you must he a man with one hand.
PriPoner—Come, come, tell me whether I did not buy twine
and binding at your shop? (In a menacing tone) Answer
roe that.

The Lour MAYOR—Do not address her in so brutal a
manner.

Prisoner—l do not mean to say that I was not in Silver-street
that night. 1 am going to prove that I was at her shop that
tight, and what I bought there. I went in there, and she
knows it, and I bought half a pound of twine and half a pound
of binding. I don't deny anything that actually took place
Mrs. Lewis —Now I recollect, he brings it to my recollection
He came for half a pound of binding and a pennyworth of twine.
Mr. nobler—Do you believe him to be the man ? Mrs.
Lewis—l do. Now he has brought it to my recollection, he
carne just before I shut up the shop.
Mr. nobler--Pid he bring any person with him ? Mrs.
Lewis—l did not see anythirg.
' Prisoner—l bought binding and twine there, as I told you,
though she was so unwilling to acknowledge it.
Mrs. Lewis, who appeared to be labouring under the iufircni-
ti,.,s of age, said, Now I remember it. You are the man.
Prisoner—Pray, Mrs. Lewis, did you never lire in Addle-.
street? Mrs. Lewis—Yes, I did.

Prisoner—Oh, you did ! Pray were you over taken up for
anything? Mrs. Lewis—Never.
Prisoner—Was your husband ever taken up? Mrs. Lewis—
He was once in tr, üble at Guildhall, but he was discharged.
Prisoner—For receiving stolen goods? Mrs. Lewis—He
was taken up on suspicion of it, but he was discharged. Never
but once. _ _ .

The LORD MAI-on—And you were never taken up yourself?
Mrs. Lewis—Never in my life, except on the night Godwin
the policeman took me to the station•house. My husband has
been dead these four years.
Prisoner--It was about four months and a half ago, her has.
band was apprehended for receiving stolen goods. She knows
me well, although it is hard to make her acknowledge it.
William White, policeman No. 112, identified the prisoner
ac the person he saw go with Godwin, the policeman, into
Mrs. Lewis's house ; anti repeated nearly the evidence given
by him at the Jastice-room, and she Central Criminal Court.
When he mentioned that part of it in which the prisoner was
represented as having said, " There ought to have been an-
other, to help to take her."
The prisoner interrupted him, and declared that he merely
said it in passing, as a jokt.
rise LORD ALkYOR.—Did you see the prisoner and Godwin
go into Mrs. Lewis's house ? Witness—l did, and I supplied
them with a light from my lantern.
Prisoner—Did I seem at all, by my conduct, to show that I
wished to avoid being seen? AVitness—No ; I never said
did.

Prisoner—Pray did you not drink with me in a public
house? Witness—Certainly not.
