POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—Edward Field, the driver of one of
Cloud's Hammersmith coaches, was charged with having
committed a serious assault upon the Rev. Peter Wynch.
The Reverend complainant said that he was proceeding
through Fleet-street in his gig, on Saturday last, following
in his proper line, when the defendant drove up from be-
hind, and attempted to pass him. In doing this he
locked the complainant's wheel. The incident seemed to
amuse him, for he called out jeeringly—" Halloo, Johnny;"
and regardless of the consequences, he applied the whip
to his horses, and dashed on. The gig immediately over-
turned, and complainant was thrown out under a csrt that
was standing by the pavement. Fortunately the only mis-
chief done was a little injury to the paint upon the chaise,
and some slight bruises about his own arms.
The defendant said he was sorry for what he hal done,
and upon his paying a sovereign to a public charity, the
complainant consented to his being discharged.
MARYLEBONE.—A young man,- named William
Farne, was charged with having attempted to commit a
robbery at Mr. Jay's Hotel, in Covent-Garden. It ap-
peared that the prisoner, who is associated with a gang
of thieves, obtained a situation as waiter, in Mr.
Jay's Hotel, and, in conjunction with his companions,
formed a plan to rob the house when the family had retired
to rest. One of the party, however, gave information to
a police officer of the circumstance. During the time the
prisoner was in the house, a number of petty robberies were
committed ; and one gentleman complained of having lost
a gold ring. It was arranged that the robbery should he
committed on Tuesday night, when the prisoner's turn came
to sit up. On that night accordingly Mr. Jay and two
officers secreted themselves in the house. Mout two
o'clock the prisoner opened the street door, and seemed dis-
appointed that his companions were not there. He then
proceeded with a lighted candle and a bunch of skeleton
keys to the bar, where the plate, &c. are deposited, but
was unable to open the door. fie was in the a•tt of open-
ing a small closet, where Mr. Jay kept his keys, wl en Mr.
Jay and the officers rushed upon him, and conveyed him to
the watch--house. On his person were found a gold ring:
three sovereigns, and some silver. He made no defence,
and refused to give up the names of his accomplices. He
was remanded till Wednesday.
