POLICE INTELLIG ENC E.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A slippery looking young man, whom one would suspect,
from hia appearance, to be a regular professional cadger, was
placed at the bar, under the following cifcumstances :
Inspector Martin, of the A division, stated that he was on
duty, in private clothes, yesterday in St. James's Park, between
twelve and one o'clock, and his attention was attracted to a
crowd of about 100 persons, collected round Captain Aekerley,
'who was lecturing about the square and angle of truth, &e.
Witness joined the crowd, and after a short time observed the
prisoner, whom he suspected, from his movements, to be a bad
character, transfer a white cambric handkerchief from the
person of a gentleman near him to his own breeches pocket.
Witness secured the prisoner,took the handkerchief from the place
f safety where it had just been deposited, and the gentleman
identified it as his. On searching the prisoner, witness found
two other silk-handkerchiefs on him ; one was an old one, and
the letters had been picked out; the other was a better one, and
was marked with the initials "J. B."
The prisoner, who stuttered very much, told some cock and
a bull story about picking up the white handkerehiof ; the
others, he said, were his own.
Inspector Martin said he thought the prisoner was known to
the police, but he was not quite sure.
Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner for a week that it might
be ascertained whether he was an old offender or only a novice
in the profession which teacheth the art of conveying property
from she person of another to one's own pocket with such ad-
mirable dexterity and ingenuity as a regularly bred pickpocket
exhibits.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS I)AY.)
William Clarke, a baker's man, was charged with furious
driving., It appeared that on Saturday night last, the prisoner
being much intoxicated, got into his cart and commenced driv-
trg, the policeman deposed, at the rate of twelve miles an hour.
Passing through Middleton-street, a gentleman in attempting
to cross o‘er the street was knocked down by the horse, and
the wheel of the cart passed over his body, from which he re-
ceived severe injury. He, however, refused to prosecute, but
Mr. COMBE said he could not let such violence go un-
punished. He was fined 11., or three weeks' imprisonment.
