POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

2.:0W-STREET,

Yesterday Mr. Corder, vestry-clerk of St. Paul's,
Ccivent-garden, appeared at this office for the third
tiMe; for the purpose of enforcing payment of the
sum of 8964 due to the parish for rates and taxes
by the proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre.
No person appearing on the part of the pro-
prietors,

Sir R. BIRNIE called for the summoning clerk,
who having been sworn, deposed that he served
nine summonses upon a person residing at the the.
atre, who undertook to send notice of the service to
Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, the three
proprietors to whom the summonses were directed.
Sir R. BIRNIE asked Mr. Corder if he had under-
stood from Mr. Robertson, the treasurer, that a
communication had been received from Messrs.
Const and Harris, stating that they were both wil-
ling that the matter should be amicably settled,
both for the benefit of the theatre and the creditors,
and expressing a hope that an arrangement likely to
satisfy all parties would be brought forward for the
theatre on the following Friday, when a meeting of
the proprietors was appointed to take place ?
Mr: Corder certainly understood Mr. Roberti!on.
to'have said so, and asked Sir Richard Birnie if that
was not his impression also.
Sir R. BIRNIE said, that Mr. Robertson had un-
doubtedly
sail something very like it. Mr. Const,
however, had waited upon him (Sir R. Birnie) on
the day preceding, and told him that no cornmunica-
-..0n whatever had been made by hini.upon the sub-
ect, and that he neither directly nor indirectly inter-
fered in any way in the business.
The distress warrants having been signed and
handed to Mr. Corder,

Sir R. BIRNIE expressed a hope that the parish
would not find it necessary to seize the scenery of
the theatre to cover their demand.

Mr. Corder replied, that it was not intended, he
believed, to levy a distress against the property of
the theatre. The parish had another object in view.
Sir R. BIRNIE—I suppose you mean to apply to
the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Corder replied, that the step which the parish
had taken was intended as a foundation for a peti-
tion to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the amount
of the distress warrants might he paid out of the
funds in his Lordships' Court, placed there on ac-
count of the respective proprietors of Covent-garden
Theatre. Mr. Corder then withdrew.

Yesterday evening two smartly-dressed young
men, named Charles Weston and Henry Evans,
were brought in custody before Mr. HALLS, charged
by Mr. John Lumley with having committed an
assault upon him.

Mr. Lumley was proceeding along Brydges-street,
Covent-garden, that evening at about seven o'clock,
when he perceived the two defendants issuing
from a billiard-room, next door to Mother H.'s, in
Brydges-street. They were both smoking cigars ;
and one of them (he could not tell which) raised
'his foot, and gave him (the complainant) a kick in
the hinder part of his person. He immediately
pilled to the street-keeper, and gave both the de-
Yendants into custody.
Mr. HALLS told the defendants that they must
fput in bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.
He hoped Mr. Lumley would prosecute the charge
at the Sessions.

Mr. Lumley expressed his determination to do so,
thgrfrntionts were then removed in custody,
up for want of hsi;
Information was receive u 4.
morning that property to the amount of upwards of
1001. was stolen from the manufactory of Messrs.
Baxter of Long-acre, the eminent coach-builders.—
'Die property consisted of a quantity of cloth, used
for the lining of carriages, and also some gold lace,
which the thieves had contrived to strip from the
inside of a state coach, which had been the property
of the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and which
had been lately exhibited in Messrs. Baxters' manu•
factory to several ladies and gentlemen, on account
of the richness of the trappings and the beauty of
the carved wood-work. In consequence of informa-
tion received in the course of the day, a search-war-
rant was obtained, and put in execution at the pre-
mises of a broker residing in Great St. Andrew-
street, Seven-dials. No part of the valuable pro-
perty which had been stolen was, however, found
in the house of the accused, but a quantity of tools
was found upon the premises exposed for sale, and
these were identified by a workman in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Baxter, who deposed to their
having been stolen from the manufactory of his
master. The party accused stated that his wife had
purchased the tools in his absence, and Sir R.
Birnie, in suffering him to depart upon his own re-
cognizance, to appear again if called upon, told him
that it was his duty, for the sake of public justice
and his own character, to use every exertion in his
power to discover the party from whom his wife had
purchased the tools.
