POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)

MANSION-HO USE.

A man of the name of Thomas Mansell, who had
been a publican in Lambeth, was brought before the
LORD MAYOR, charged with having embezzled several
sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr.
John Wood, tobacconist, Coleman-street.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner entered into
his service as a town traveller for the sale of goods, in
the year 1840, and that since that period the prisoner
had received numerous sums of money, in all proba-
bility amounting in the gross to between 2001. and 3001.
Mr. Pepper, of the Red Lion Inn public-house,
Aldersgate-street, stated that he was in the habit of
dealing with the prisoner for goods in the prosecutor's
line, and produced the prisoner's receipt for 2/.
The prisoner—There was no limited time for the
payment of the money received.
The LORD MAYOR—Is the amount received entered
in the book ? The prosecutor—There is no entry
whatever.

The prisoner said that when he was a publican he
dealt with Mr. Wood, and upon leaving business he
went into Mr. Wood's service upon a commission of
12i per cent. Afterwards, however, that sort of
commission ceased, and he then obtained goods from
Mr. Wood upon credit, and the goods in question were
some of these.

The LORD MAYOR—That excuse will never do.
Why the invoices are in Mr. Wood's name, and the
receipt is signed by you for Mr. Wood. That sort
of defence-will not anwer in this place.
Mrs. Mary Gowle, of the Old swan public -house,
Chelsea, stated that she bought a quantity of segars
from the prisoner, and paid him for them, and she
knew nothing at all of Mr. Wood.
The prisoner said he could produce letters and re-
ceipts calculated to show that his statement was quite
right, and he denied- that there .vas any such sum be-
tween him and the'prosecutor as 2001. or 3001.
The prisoner was remanded.

Easter Pasques and E. Levy, who were charged b,
Mr. Gallowin, about the affair of the boot-legs, whic)
Easter had regularly obtained possession of, were dis
charged, the applicant having received his property.
GUILDHALL.

Thomas Potter and Elizizbeth Goodu'right were
placed at the bar, having been remanded, charged
with robbing their father, Thomas Potter, a Green-
wich pensioner.
Mr. Thomas Russell, of Printing-house-square, the
guardian of the parish, stepped forward, and said that
Potter, the father, had been collector to the parish,
and some months ago he was deficient in his accounts
to a considerable amount. He then, as an excuse,
said that his son, the prisoner at the bar, had forged
some receipts and received the money. He then
brought him before the Magistrate, but the boy was
discharged, as there was no proof against him. He
believed that there was not the slightest foundation in
fact for this charge, but that it was merely instituted
to get rid of,the children.
The boy in his defence said, that he knew nothing,
of the robbery. There were people in the house the
night before, extremely bad characters, and they left
the day following.
Mr. Alderman Kelly, who came in at the moment
said he believed everything Mr. Russell had stated.
He (Mr. Kelly) had known the family too, and he
knew the mother to be a drunken woman.
The boy said, his mother-in-law would frequently
make him sleep on the stairs. his father and mother
had ruined his character, and he could get no work.
Mr. Russell said, he would endeavour to get him
into the Peckham Asylum.--Prisoners discharged.
BOIV-SRTEET.
A young lad, named William Smith, an errand-
boy in the employ of Mr. Walter James Scott,
aurist, of 369, Strand, was charged with feloniously
embezzling 261. 19s. 6d., the property of his master.
Mr. Payne, foreman in the employ of Mr. Scott,
stated, that on the 16th instant, he entrusted the
prisoner with the above sum to take to the London
and Westminster Bank, with which he absconded,
and was only apprehended yesterday at his father's
house. He was remanded for a week, as evidence
will then be brought forward which is expected to
implicate the father.

r-
Three stout-looking men, named Jackson, Camp-
bell," and Cameron, were placed at the bar charged
with begging.
An officer of the Mendicity Society proved the case.
Mr. TWYFORD asked the prisoners for th2ir historie3.
Jackson said that he was by trade a lathe and vice
Maker. He was thrown out of work about 21 weeks
ago, and had since travelled to Cornwall, Southamp-
ton, and other places, in search of employment, but in
vain. He met the other prisoners at a 1°4411g-house
in London, and went out begging with them this
Morning for the first time. He knew nothing more
about them.

Campbell said that he was a cotton weaver, and a
native of Port Jlasgow. Being unsuccessful in his
search after employment elsewhere, he came to Lon-
don, where he arrived on Friday last.
Cameron said that he was a native of Edinburgh,
and had been employed as a weaver at Kirkintilloch ;
he had no work, and had travelled up to London. He
had a wife, whoin he had left at Barnet.
Mr. TWYFORD said he was heartily sorry for their
misfortunes, and he must•say to their credit that it
was not often that Scotchmen were found begging.
He thought the best thing he could do for them would
be to send them to -prison, when they would have an
opportunity of being sent home.. He. should, there-
fore, commit them each for seven days, and he advised

them to apply to the Visiting Magistrates to pass them
home.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Bishop, a young man about twenty years of
age, of respectable connexions, was placed at the bar,
charged with embezzling various sums of money
received by him for and on the account of his master
and employer, Mr. John Joseph Bellamy, of No. 3,
Lumber-court, Newport-market, butcher.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been
in his service for several months past, and the greatest
reliance being placed in his integrity he was allowed
to receive the amount of bills from customers. Yes-
terday he (the prosecutor) discovered
-by a mere acci-
dent that several bills which had been paid to the pri-
soner had not been accounted for by him, as was his
duty to do of all monies, on the same day he received
them. The amount of the prisoner's defalcation
which he, (the prosecutor) had already been able to
discover, was between 151. and 161., and might be to
a more serious extent.
The prosecutor produced several bills which the
prisoner had fabricated himself for sums that might
suit his purpose, from time to time, to prevent detec-
tion. He was remanded until this day week, in order
to give time for the necessary witnesses to attend.
MARYLEBONE..

George Edwards, a respectably-dressed young man,
described as a carpenter out of work, was charged
with a street robbery.

Henry Elliot, a groom, was standing outside the
Union public-house, in Oxford street, about nine
o'clock yesterday evening, when he saw two ladies
passing, and the prisoner and another young man im-
mediately behind them. The prisoner held up one
of the ladies' dresses with his left, while his right
hand was inserted into her pocket. He (witness)
called to the ladies - that they were robbed,
and caught the prisoner, who, however, struck him a
violent blow, and escaped. le also knocked down
an omnibus driver, who tried to stop him, but was
ultimately caught at the corner of Orchard-street by
a policeman.
Inspector Black and another officer stated, that de-,
fendant was to their knowledge one of the swell mob.
Mr. RAWLINSON committed him for three months.
CLERKENWELL.
_ _

Robert Simpson, alias Butcher, was charged as
follows :—The prisoner is one of a gang who have
undergone a long imprisonment for knocking down
unprotected females in the streets at night, and rob-
bing them. Last night he was in company with two
disorderly females in Broad-street, Bloomsbury. The
trio occupied themselves in hustling against respect-
able persons as they passed. A constable took
the worst of the females into custody, when the pri-
soner rushed on him and kicked him violently in the
back of the head ; he seized the staff of the constable
and threw it away. The policeman seemed to have
sustained very serious injury, both his hands were cut
and bruised, and he was hardly able to hold up his
head from a wound in his neck.—The prisoner was
sentenced to a month's imprisonment and hard labour.
UNION-HALL.

A pawnbroker in Chartotte-street complained that
a common informer of the -name of Burch called at
his house, and intimating his calling, said that he came
there to say that applicant might commit offences
under the Pawnbrokers' Act without the risk of any
informations being laid against him, if he paid him a
sovereign a year for the indulgence. In reply to the
proposition, applicant said that he would enter into no
such engagement, whereupon the informer intimated
that he would look sharply after him, and pull him
up when he had a chance. Applicant, therefore,
wanted to know if he could not punish the person
against whom he applied.
Mr. TRAIL", referred to the sec. 33, of the 2d and 3d
of Victoria, and said that unless the informer received
a sum of money for compounding, delaying, or with-
drawing any information, he was not liable to any
penalty.

THE REGIST RAT lONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. M'Christie, the Revising Barrister, took his
seat in Court yesterday morning at ten o'clock.
The lists.of the Liverymen were proceeded with.
In the list of the Glovers' Company an objection
was taken to the name of Thomas Jenkins, of Broad-
way, Rotherhithe, who had been for the last three
years in America, on Government service. A judg-
ment had been delivered by the Revising Barrister,
which we gave in our Paper of yesterday, upon a
case somewhat similar. To meet that judgment it
was stated that the claimant was not at liberty to re-
turn to this country, inasmuch as he was under en-
gagements to the dovernment.
The REVISING BARRISTER reserved the decision of
the case until Friday.
Some other cases arose upon objections taken on the
usual grounds of removal or'non-residence ; but they
poaessed little public interest, and the judgment of
the Court respecting them was, in most instance;,
postponed till a future day.
