IN THE MATTER OF GENERAL ROBERTSON.--AFFLICA.

TION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a criminal
information against a gentleman who was making
some applications to the Court of Directors of the
East India Company of a very extraordinary nature.
General Robertson, one of the Directors, stated in
his affidavit that he received, about the 11th of Octo-
ber, 1841, a letter enclosed in an envelope, addressed
to him at the India-house. It was dated Hampton,
Sussex, 10th October, and was signed "H. Sharpnel."
The letter, after apologising to General Robertson
for writing on such a subject, stated that he had a
young friend who was desirous of a cadetship, and
that as he was himself known to many of the Direc-
tors, he took the liberty of addressing him on the
subject. It also stated that he was the son of Lieut.-
General Sharpnel, who voted for him (General Ro-
bertson), and that he lvvas intimately acquainted
with many of the aristocracy, and concluded
oy saying, that as he was aware from experi-
ence of the caution necessary in the matter,
the most implicit confidence might be reposed in the
writer of this letter, though he was entirely unknown
to him. General Robertson took no notice of this
letter, and laid it aside. On the 12th of August,
1842, Mrs. Robertson, wife of General Robertson,
received another letter, and addressed to his resi-
dence, 53, Baker-street. It was dated from the post-
office, Southampton. Ths writer stated that he was
acquainted with many gentlemen of education and
high standing in society, who were desirous of ob-
taining commissions in the East India Company's
service, and that having the confidence of many of
the Board of Directors, he had the honour of making
the application in favour of those gentlemen. The
letter also stated, that if Mrs. Robertson exerted her
influence the writer would cause a sum of 2,0001. a
year to be given to her banker, one quarter in ad-
"ranee. He concluded by saying that he was a pro-
prietor of India stock, and that the utmost reliance
might be placed in his honour and integrity,
The second letter was signed K. C.B. Applications
of a similar description in the same hand-writing
were made to the wives of two or three other
Directors. All these letters were in the hand-
writing of Mr. Sharpnel. The statute under which
he (the Attorney-General) made the application was
the 49th Geo. 111., chap. 126, which enacted that
any person bargaining for or selling any official corn-
mission, &c., as described in the 6th of Edward VI.,
chap. 16, should be deemed and adjudged guilty of a
misdemeanour. When not only one but several
letters of this description were written 'to different
parties, it was full time to ask for the interposition of
the Court in the matter.—Rule granted.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. IV.
IN RE HENRY S. COLES.

The bankrupt, had been a bill broker in Finsbury-
crescent, and the amount of debts and liabilities was
stated to exceed 60,0001. His available assets would
scarcely pay one shilling in the pound.
On the last day of examination, a proof which was
attempted to be established upon a bill, drawn by
Berkely Cassidy, was adjourned, in order to allow
the holder to establish the fact or its being for con-
sideration.

Mr. West now proved, by the evidence of the ac-
ceptor, that he had paid Cassidy47o/. in ready money,
besides giving him a phaeton and pair of horses.
Several proofs were admitted without opposition,
amounting in the aggregate to about 13,0001., after
which the further hearing was adjourned for a month.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
AIARYLEBONE.

Four young lads, named Wm. Restall, Win. Boy-
nam, John Welsh, and Daniel Hogan, were placed
before Mr. Long on suspicion of burglary.
Police-constable 89 D saw the prisoners skulking
about Edgware-road at half-past twelve yesterday
evening, and seeing that they wished to avoid him he
followed at a distance,through Lisson-grove, and up
St. John's-wood-road ; there he stopped them, and as
they could give no satisfactory reason for being out
so late, he took them
.to the station-house. When
searched, several implements used for house-breaking
were found upon them. Restall, Baynam, and Hogan
were all known to the police as associating with thieves
of the most desperate character.
Joseph Hutton said, that while in a public-house in
Jacob's-mews, he heard the prisoners planning the
breaking into some house, and speaking of borrowing
some chisels for the purpose ; he informed a friend,
who followed them for a little way down the mews,
but afterwards returned.

Mr. LONG discharged Welsh, as he was unknown
to the police, but sent the others to the House of Cor-
rection for one month each.
CLERKENWELL.
Samuel Dyer, a famished-looking tradesman, was
charged with selling lucifer-matches by William
Hughes, a mendicity constable.
The prisoner's wife and six children, the eldest of
whom eras only nine years of age, came into Court,
and quite shocked the Court and spectators, by their
starved, sickly look.
The offence stated by the constable was that the
prisoner had been found selling lucifer-matches in
Brunswick-square, at seven o'clock on the previous
evening. He actually heard him say to persons pass-
ing, " Buy a box, I um a very poor man and very
hungry." Three of his children were by his side.
He had only one or two boxes of matches. Witness
took him to the station-house, where he was locked
up for the night.
Mr. COMAE said he had never seen a more distress-
ing scene. Why,?(said the worthy Magistrates) these
poor little children seem to be in a state of starvation.
I never saw such misery. I will not punish the pri-
soner though the law makes his act an offence.
Prisoner—l am a gas-fitter, and have struggled to
obtain work, but could not get it.
The Wife—Oh, your Worship, I never begged
from any one, poor as I am ; I would rather starve
than beg. Have pity on our poor little children.
Mr. COMBE—I tell you I am not going to punish
you. The constable says the prisoner was never seen
begging before ; but the children will perish if they
continue in the same state. I will send for the parish
authorities, and have you all taken good care of ; and
as soon as the prisoner has a fair prospect of earning
the means of supporting himself and you, he shall be
at liberty to leave the workhouse, and do his best for
you.

THAMES-POLICE.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
—Thursday, Air. Henry Millington, a young man of
respectable family, was brought before Mr. I3allantine
for final examination on a charge of stealing two silver
sauce ladles and a silver dessert spoon, from the resi-
dence of Mr. Hacon, a merchant, of No. 11, Com-
mercial-place, Commercial-road, East.
Mr. Pelham appeared for the prisoner. The investi-
gation created an unusual degree of interest from the
peculiar circumstances connected with it.

Julia Ann Garner, cook to the prosecutor, stated
that on the afternoon of Tuesday the Ist inst., about
twenty minutes or half-past four o'clock, a man, whom
she verily believed to be the prisoner, called at her
master's house and said he had some pleasant informa-
tion to communicate relating to Mr. Hacon's nephew,
who went out in the ship Middlesex, to Port Phillip,
of which vessel the stranger represented he was second
mate on the voyage. Her master was from home, and
she invited thelprisoner into the parlour, and requested
him to wait till the family came home. Soon after
he was gone, she missed two silver sauce ladles and a
dessertialliroaansdpsTvaennrd fromg

On Friday last she met the prisoner in the Commer-
cial-road,

peared better dressed than he did then. She verily
believed the prisoner was the man, his features and
appearance made her believe so.
In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the witness
said she met the prisoner in the Commercial-road a
few days after the robbery, and taxed him with it.
He then denied it, and informed her where he lived.
She was certain it was not later than half-past four
when the prisoner called.
Mr. Latter, a pawnbroker, stated that he carried
on business in the Commercial-road. On Tuesday,
the Ist of November, a few minutes before five
o'clock, the prisoner brought two sauce ladles and a
dessert spoon to his shop, and asked for the loan of
c2esrs. tauon

prisoner
pawned the articles.
James Taylor, shopman to Mr. Latter, stated that
he received the silver articles from the prisoner. The
person who pawned the articles strongly resembled
the prisoner, and he believed that Mr. Millington was
the same party, but should not like to swear posi-
tively to him.
The prisoner was directed to put on his cap, which
had no band on it, and

The witness said the man who pawned the goods
wore the same sort of cap.
Robert Smith, a policeman, No. 277 K, stated that
he took the prisoner into custody, and, upon convey-
ing him to the pawnbroker's shop, both Mr. Latter
and his shopman said he was the man who pawned
the articles. The prisoner denied having committed
the robbery. He searched the prisoner's trunk and
travelling-bag, and was unable to find anything re-
lating to the present charge. He found 231. in cash
upon the prisoner, and several letters and documents,
which proved that the young gentleman was most re-
spectably connected, and had recently left Bristol for
the purpose of emigrating to New Zealand, and had
actually engaged his passage in the ship Phcebe, which
left the river on Wednesday.
Mr. Pelham—Did you find a cap with a gold band
among the prisoner's luggage? Policeman--I did
not, Sir. His carpet-bag had a ticket on it, inscribed
"J. W. R., passenger's luggage. Bristol to —."
Mr. Hacon identified the silver articles produced,
and said his nephew went out in the Middlesex to

Port Phillip, and the person who called at his house
must have been well acquainted with him.
Mr. Pelham said he would call witnesses to prove
that the prisoner did not leave Bristol until one o'clock
on the Ist inst. ; that he arrived at Paddington ter-
minus at half-past five, and proceeded in a cab to the
Saracen's Head, Snowhill, where he remained from
six until eight o'clock. It was, therefore, impossible
that the prisoner could be the man who committed the
robbery at half-past four o'clock in the prosecutor's
house.

Mr. Nehemiah Newman, landlord of the Cross
Keys Tavern, Temple-street, Bristol, stated that he
had known the prisoner nine years. He was in his
house in Bristol between twelve and one, on the Ist
of November. Mr. Millington was to have left
Bristol in the twelve o'clock train, but arrived too
late at the terminus to proceed by it. He was cer-
tain the prisoner could not have left Bristol till one
o'clock, and the train would reach Paddington at
half-past five, and not before.
Jamey Thompson, warehouseman, of Bristol, said
he partook of some refreshments with the prisoner at
Bristol a few minutes before he joined the one o'clock
train.

Other respectable witnesses deposed firmly to the
same fact.

Mr. Pelham said the evidence for the defence had
so completely answered the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion that his client was entitled to his immediate
liberation.

Mr. BALLANTINB recalled the prosecutor's cook,
and she still persisted that to the best of her know-
ledge the prisoner was the man who called at her
master's house. She verily and firmly believed he was
the man, notwithstanding what she had heard.
Mr. BALLANTINB was of opinion the young woman
was mistaken. His own opinion was, that the pri-
soner was innocent, but he had no right to try the
case. He would call upon the prisoner to enter into
his own recognisance in the sum of 401., to appear at
the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, there
to answer any proceedings the parties might think
proper to institute. He should not bind over the wit-
nesses for the prosecution.
The prisoner entered into the recognisance demanded
of him, and was liberated. A number of country
gentlemen from Gloucester and Wilts surrounded
him, and led him from the Court, and the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested in his favour.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Shortly before three yester-
day morning, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr.
Upton, ham and beef dealer, No. 44, Lambeth-walk,
opposite theYountain wine-vaults. The dwelling-house
soon after caught fire, and before half-past three, the
destruction was complete of both household furniture
and stock. By the exertions of the firemen the ad-
joining houses,- in the occupation of Mr. Amor, pawn-
broker, and Mr. Cross, boot and shoemaker, were
saved. Mr. Upton and his family narrowly escaped,
by dropping from the upper windows on to the shop
front. The property destroyed is insured in the Bri•
tish Fire-office, and the loss is eatiag444l4 3001.
