POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—(TIIIS DAY.)
Two respectable looking young men, named. Henry
Bulport and Francis Court, clerks, in the Money Or-
der-office, at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-
Grand, were placed before-Sir Geo. Carroll, charged
by Mrs. Matilda Bowley, of No. 31, Draper-place,
Burton-crescent, with having attempted to deprive
her of two pounds under the circumstances detailed
below. Mr. Clarkson attended for the complainant.
She stated that she was a married woman, but her
husband was at present in the hospital. She had
money in the Savings' Bank, and a few days ago she
drew some of it out. The money she received was
all in sovereigns, and they were all of the present
reign, except one which was a sovereign of the reign
of William the Fourth. She went 'to the General
Post-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, to obtain a
money order for 2/. She put down two of the new
sovereigns, and a new shilling. The prisoner Bul-
port received the money, and took it back into the
office as she supposed to weigh the sovereigns,
In about four or five minutes he returned and said
she had given him a light sovereign and a bad one,
and he laid down a light sovereign of the reign of
George IV. and a gilt medal. She denied at once
that she had tendered these coins, and both prisoners
said then she should be taken before Mr. Peacock.
She was conveyed before Mr. Peacock, and he re-
marked to the prisonerßulport, "Why this is not the
first affitir of the sort you have had." He would not
entertain the charge, and complainant therefore sum-
moned the defendants to answer the charge.
The Magistrate consulted with Mr. Clarkson, and
the case was adjourned for the purpose of having the
attendance of Mr. Peacock and the constable at the
Post-office.

BO W-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
William 21Ioncas was charged with stealing a watch
value 205., from Edward O'Rooke.
The complainant, about fifteen years of age, stated
that he first knew the prisoner about a month ago; he
represented himself to witness as a watchmaker, and
prevailed on.him to let him have his watch to clean.
Witness gave him the watch for that purpose, and he
had not seen it since, except once when he evaded him.
Yesterday he met him at a public-house in Soho,
when he gave him into custody.
The prisoner said he had given the watch to his
brother to be cleaned.

Mr. TWYFORD said he could not commit the pri-
soner for stealing the watch, but he could commit
him for unlawfully disposing of it; he, therefore
ordered him to pay 40s. for the misdemeanor, and
20s. the value of the watch, or in default go to prison
for six-weeks.—The prisoner was removed in custody.
James Samuel Brown, who was remanded from
yesterday, for the attendance of the Postmaster of
Caine, in order to complete the last two cases of
forgery of Post-office orders against him, was this day
again placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford ; and the
postmaster having given evidence similar to that
given by the other postmasters, as already detailed
in our reports, the prisoner was fully committed to
take his trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions, on four
distinct charges of forgery.

QUEEN SQUARE.—(THIS DAY.
A tall, athletic-looking man, who stated his name
to be Joseph Watson, was placed at the bar, on the
charge of burglariously entering the house of Mr.
Thomas Beck Walters, of No. 17, Victoria-road,
Pimlico, and stealing therefrom a quantity of shawls.
From the joint evidence of William Ham and
police-constable 27 B, it appeared that the prisoner
broke through a skylight at the back of the prose-
cutor's premises at five o'clock this morning, and
having stolen the articles named, was about snaking
his escape by the same way, when his foot slipped,
and he fell to the ground, making such a noise as to
awaken some of the clerks. An alarm was then
given, and the policeman, after a sharp chase, suc-
ceeded in taking him into custody, after he threw the
shawls into an area. When searched at the station-
house, a large stick, with an iron hook and spike at
the top, which was capable of being used as a most
deadly weapon, and a knife, were found upon him.
The prisoner, who refused to say anything at pre-
sent, was fully committed on the charge of burglary,
and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.
