POLICE INTELLIGENCEa

110 W-STREET.
Yesterday an elderly man, named Daniel Flynn,
and a woman named Ann _Flynn, who represented
herself to be his wife, were capitally charged before

Mr. HAu.s, with havi►►g in their possession various
implements used for the purpose of coining, and also
some peces of base money.
Ihomas Car►noody, a constable belonging to the
new police establishment, deposed that from infor-
mation he received he proceeded, in company with
other officers, to the house No. 22, in Church-street,
St. Giles's, at about seven o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing. He went up to the lirst•pair front room, and
found the door fastened. He knocked, and it was

opened by the female prisoner, and upon entering
the room witness found there both prisoners and a
little child. Witness and those who accompanied
him left the house, but returned in a few minutes to
the room inhabited by the prisoners for the
purpose of searching. it. Upon looking upon the
floor under the head of the bed, witness found two

moulds for casting shilling,, and al-o a quantity of
plaster of Paris, together with an iron pot and a
large iron ladle. Witness then took both the prisoners
into custody, and conveyed them to the watch-
house of St. Paul's, Covent-garden. Witness re-
turned to the house again at nine o'clock on the
same evening, and upon searching the room once
more
.he found another mould with a piece of money
in it. Witnt-Ls asked the prisoners how they be-
came possessed of such articles, and they both
answered that they knew nothing about them.
They then asked him from whom he had received
the information, and witness answered that it was
their own daughter who had informed upon them.
The female prisoner denied most distinctly that
either she or her husband knew any thing whatever

of the articles which were found in the room.

The male prisoner also asserted his innocence,
and said that he had had a quarrel with his daughter
on Sunday last, Ivhich he supposed induced her to
give information to the officers that articles of coin-

ing were in his room.
The prisoners were then removed in custody.
Mr. liatnilton, a solictor, residing in Henrietta-
street, Covent-garden, came to complain of the con-
duct of one of the new police, who had suffered a
person charged with felony to escape from his cus-
tody.

A young man, in the employment of Mr. Hamil-
ton, stated, on Tuesday evening he met a person in
Holborn, against whom a warrant had been issued
for felony. He told the police-constable, now pre-
sent, to take him into custody. Ile did so, but

afterwards suffered him to escape.
The constable stated that he took the young man
into custody by direction of the last witness, but he
was not aware that the person was charged with felony.
The prisoner requested permisson to go for a few
minutes to the house of his father, in Brosvnlow-

street, Holborn ; and he (the constable) accotn-
panied him, and waited for him while he spoke to
his mother, The father of the young man then
came home, and the prisoner requested' to hold a
few minutes' conversation with him also. The fa-

ther and son then went into the back parlour an(

closed the door, and a minute had scarcely elapsed
when the father opened the door and said tl'at his

son was gone.
Mr. Thomas, the supervisor of police, told the
constable, that unless he succeeded in retaking the
party, the matter would undoubtedly cost him his
situation.

The constable would use every means in his power
to find out the person who had escaped.

M A P LBOROU GH-STREET.

A case which has been under investigation for
some days at the office, but deferred, was yesterday
brought on for final examination before Mr. DYER,
the sitting Magistrate.
A Mr. henry Rawlings, said to be one of a firm
of that name carrying on the business of house-
'agents and auctioneers, at No. 41, Duke-street, St.
James's, and at other places in town, was placed at
the bar, charged with tittering a fictitious checque,
knowing it to be of no value, on the banking-house
of Me&srs. Cockburn and Co., in Whitehall, for
101, purporting to be drawn by a firm named
" William Stewart Morgan and C 0.," and dated the
10th of October last.
IMr. Robert White, a eleeesemonger residing at
the corner of Duke-street, in Jermyrestreet, de-
posed, that on the 13th of October a young man
named Robert King, now present, brought the
cheque produced to his shop, crossed in the usual
way to be passed through a banker's, and asked to
have it changed, saying that he came from Mrs.
Satchwell, of Duke-street, and he (Mr. White)
knowieg Mrs. Satchwell to be a most respectable
lady, did not hesitate. about changing it. He paid
the cheque into the house of Messrs. Ransom and
Co. of Pall-mall, the same evening, and two days
after it was returned, with " No effects" written
across it. He then applied to Mrs. Satchwell, but
that lady declared site had never sent the cheque for
change. The young man King could no where be
found until a few days ago, when Andrews, the
officer, apprehended him.
Robert King, the young man in question, de-
posed, that on the 13th of October, he was in the
employ of the prisoner, as clerk, at No. 41, Duke-
street, Sr. James's, and on that day the prisoner
game him the cheque now produced, and desired him
to take it to Mr. White, and say that he was sent
from Mrs. Satchwell,and that thecheque was crossed
to go through a banker's, and to ask Mr. White to
change it. Witness accordingly did us he was de-
sired, and Mr. White gave him ten sovereigns for the
cLieeine, which he immediately gave to the prisoner.
Mrs. Ann Satch well deposed, that the cheque now
produced she knew nothing whatever of.
The next witness was Mr. Adolphus William
Barnes-1 am a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs.
Cockburn and Co., in Whitehall. The cheque now
produced, drawn upon Messrs. Cockburn's house by
William Stewart Morgan and Co., I never saw
before this day, but I know it to have been pre.
sented and payment of it refused on the 13th of
October last, from the words " no effects" written
across it in a hand-writing which I recognize.
Mr. DYER asked the witness if it was not usual to
write the word " clearing" on all cheques to be
passed. in through a banker's, and not a parcel of
crosses ( as appeared on this cheque ? The
witness replied, that the practice of wilting the
word " clearing" upon cheques -so passed in was
entirely confined to city bankers, and never done by
the west-end bankers.
. • Mr.. Binns now submitted that there was nothing
like a fraud, or attempt at fraud, in the transaction
as far as regarded the prisoner : he had merely passed
away a cheque drawn by other parties, which he be-
lieved at the time tobe a good one, and the drawers
of which, it appears, actually kept an account at the
house on which they drew it at the time. There
was no pretence, therefore, in charging the prisoner
with any fraud.
Mr. DYER said that the most suspicious part of
the transaction was, the cheque being sent by the
prisoner toMr. White in the nameof Mrs. Satchwell.
Mr. Biting said • that there was a mistake in this,
for the truth was that the prisoner merely told the
lad King to say that he came from Mrs. Satchwell's,
meaning Mrs. Satchwell's house.
The young man King was here questioned as to
this point, which was considered by the magistrate
to be very material, and he confirmed Mr. Binns'
view of the matter,—namely, that he told Mr. Mite
he came from Mrs. Satchwell's.
Mr. White positively contradicted this, and de.
clared that tile message of King was in these
worth, " that he came from Mrs. Satchwell with
her compliments to have the che-que changed." The
whole thing, Mr. White said, was intended to be a
fraud, and he was not the only sufferer by the pri-
soner and those connected with him.
Mr. DYER did not think, although there was a
great deal of suspicion about the case, that it was
sufficiently strong to send the prisoner to trial upon
under a commitment ;
eompleining _parties
felt. disposed to pursue tile case further, he Should

hold the prisoner to bail to answer any charge that
might be preferred against him at the sessions.
Mr. Keats, solicitor for the prosecution, appeared
on thi4 part of a committee of tradesmen, who had
joined to protect themselves against fraud, of which
Mr. White was one ; and so satisfied were they of
the intended fraud in this case, that they were de-
termined to prosecute the prisoner, for if they did
not, no tradesman was safe against such depreda-
tions.

The prisoner was then ordered to find two sure-
ties fur his appearance at the sessions to meet any
charge that might be there preferred against him.
Mr. Pitt, a linen-draper in the Strand, here step-
ped forward and said, that the prisoner had " done"
him out of some shirts, stockings, &c., which were
sent, by the prisoner's orders, to No. 41, Duke-
street, and which the prisoner said were for his
brother ; but from that day to this no payment
could be had for them ; and seeing the account. in
the newspapers of the prisoner's apprehension, be
thought he might as well come and see it any thing
could be done.
Mr. DYER could not assist Mr. Pitt, for his claim
was a mere debt, and here the matter ended.
HATFON-GARDEN.
It will be recollected that on the morning of the
27th of last month a daring burglary and robbery
was committed at the malt and hop warehouse of
Messrs. Truman, Hanbury and Co., the extensive
brewers, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields. Several sttoegly
barred doors leading into various rooms of the ware-
house were en that occasion broken open, and the
burglars succeeded in carrying off six pockets of hops,
and a quantity of malt of the value nearly of 300/.
Frim the nature and circumstances of the transac-
tion, the proprietors were induced to believe that
some persons in their employ, and in whom confi-
dence was reposed, must have been connected with
ir. Information was immediately given at the seve-
ral police-offices, and a reward of 1001. was offered
for the apprehension of the perpetrators, in conse-
quence of which the police-officers have been actively
eisgaged in searching out a clue to discovery, and
yesterday two men, who gave their names George
Crouchman and William ihillis, were brought to
this office in custody of Edwards and Duke, both
officers of the establishment, and placed at the bar
before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. ROGERS and Mr.
Serjeant SELLON, charged with having four pockets
of the said hops in their posssession.
After hearing evidence, the Magistrates remanded
the prisoners till Monday next.
MARYLEBONE.
On Monday morning, Joseph Powell, a hackney-
coachman, was charged before Mr. RAWLINSON,
with having robbed a gentleman of his gold watch
and his money, under the following extraordinary
circumstances.
Mr. John Michael Goodere, a Carmarthen solici-
tor, on Saturday supped at the Tavistock Coffee-
house, in Covest-garden, with Major Wait and an-
other officer,and about 20 minutes before 12 o'clock
desired one of the waiters to call him a coach. A
chariot was brought, arid he got into it, and ordered
the driver, which was the prisoner at the bar, to
take him to the Gloucester Coffee-house, ill Picca-
dilly, his place of residence in town. He had been
fagging hard all the day, and as soon as he entered
the chariot he fell asleep, and the. driver awoke him
at the door of the Gloucester Coffee-house by sha-
king him.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked him if he was sober ?
Mr. Goodere had taken two glasses of punch after
supper, and was a little elevated, but quite able to
recollect all that passed. He got out of the chariot, •
and the prisoner demanded Is. Gd. for Ids fare, and
when he put his hand into his pocket, he found all
his silver, amounting to more than a sovereign, was
gone; and he also missed his watch, the guard of
which, with the ring twisted open, was haugivg
from beneath his waistcoat. He challenged the
driver with robbing him, and he denied it, and said,
if he had lost any thing, the lady he took up on
the road must have got it; and he pretended that
Mr. Goodere stopped the chariot in Coventry-
street, took up a lady, and went with her to a house
in Portland-place, and parted with her there.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked him when he left the
coffee-house in Covent-garden, and what the time
was when he reached the one in Piccadilly.
Mr. Goodere said it wai about a quarter before
12 when he got into the chariot, and past one when
he got out ; and the last time he saw his watch was
as he left the Tavistock Coffee-house, for there he
pulled it out to notice the time.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked how so much time could
pass in going so short a distance. Was he certain
that the punch had not rendered it possible for him
to hare been in the company of a female without
afterwards recollecting it ?—" No, Sir," said he," it
is impossible. While I was disputing with the
driver, one of the policemen came up to the door of
the Gloucester Coffee-house, and it was proposed
that he and I should get into the chariot, and be
driven to the house in Portland-place, to try the
truth of his story. He drove us there, but said he
could not distinguish the house, and he brought us
back ; and after taking his name and his number,
the head waiter paid him his fare at my request, and
dismissed him."
At an early part of Mr. Goodere's statement, the
personsprisoner

mitted to remain in Court, and they were ordered
to withdraw.
The policeman, William Cunningham, was ex-
amined.—His account corresponded with what Mr.
Goodere had stated, excepting that when the coach-
man declared himself unable to find the house in
Portland-place, Mr. Goodere refused to return with
him, saying he would not be driven by a thief, and
they walked some distance and called another coach.
Mr.-11.twuNsoN asked whether Mr. Goodere ap-
peared to be sober.—The prisoner declared the
gentleman was too tipsy to know or recollect any
thing, for instead of its being a chariot it was a
coach.

vv
Mr. RAWLINSON said, it was a melancholy thing
if s policeman could make such a mistake, and asked
for the head waiter.
Thomas Smith came forward, and stated, that at
a little after one on Saturday night, Mr. Goodtre
got out of a roach at the door of the coffee-house,
and said he had lost his money and his watch. The
witness asked the coachman if lie- had searched the
coach ? he said he had, and he told him the gentle-
man had had a lady with him.
In answer to Mr. RAWLINSON—He did not par-
ticularly notice whether it was a coach or a chariot;
but the same one came back the second time.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prisoner)—You don't
deny it was a chariot ? Prisoner—Yes, I do.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to Cunningham, the police-
man)—I am almost afraid to ask you questions,
because you don't appear to be quite clear-headed.
Was it a coach or a chariot ? Cunningham—l can't
really say which it was.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What ! don't you know a coach
from a chariot? Cunningham—Not rightly.
Mr. RAWLINSON—HOW many seats had it ? Cun-
ningham—Just how many I cannot say, your Wor-
ship; I sat by the gentleman's side.
The prisoner said he was not fetched by any
waiter, nor did he go near the Tavi,tock Coffee-
house. A policeman brought the gentleman to the
corner of Charles-street, and put him into his coach,
and the gentleman told him to drive to the Glouces-
ter Coffee-house in Piccadilly. Thegentleman stopped
him in Coventry-street, and took up a lady, and
said. " Now drive along Piccadilly till I stop you."
He went forward till he got to Park-lane, and then,
by order of the gentleman, he drove to Portland-
place. The gentleman and the lady got out there ;
they parted in the street, and the gentleman went
on again to the Gloucester Coffee-house.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked how it was, that after
going over so much ground he demanded but 15. 6d. ?
The prisoner said the gentleman paid him ss. 6d.
when be got to Portland-place; and if the Magistrate
would postpone the case, he could bring forward -a
witness who saw the lady taken up by the gentle-

man, Anti who would prove that it was a coach, M 1
not a chariot, which he drove. - -
The request of the prisoner
.was granted, and Yes-
terday the case was resumed.
Cunningham, having since noticed the difference
be a coach and a chariot, said it was .8 elle'
riot, and Mr. Gooderc said he had other evidence t°
prove that fact in readiness.

Yesterday three paupers belonging to Bermo--

with great cruelty to Thomas Stedman, a poll idiete
an inmate of the same workhouse.
