POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

On the 25th of July, the driver of the hackney-
coach 1,191 was charged by the Honorary Secretary
of the Society against Cruelty, with having furiously
driven the horses, and having for a long distance vio-
lently whipped one of them under the belly. The
offence was distinctly stated and sworn to; but Mr.
HALLS, the Magistrate, did not deem this cruelty,
and dismissed the complaint.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

On Wednesday Mr. J. R. Farre, M.D., of No. 4,

Charterhouse-square, came to the office, and, ad-
dressing the sitting Magistrate, G. W. MARRIOTT,
Esq., stated that he had an application to make of a
private nature, as it might defeat the ends of justice
if it was made public.

Mr. MARRIOTT then desired the office to be
cleared of strangers, but said he would allow the re-
porters for the public press to remain, on their pledge
that they would report none of the proceedings, if
the circumstances were as stated by Dr. Farre.
A promise was immediately given to that effect.
Yesterday, on application to the Magistrates, lie
said he had no objection whatever for the whole
affair to go forth to the public.
The application of Dr. Farre was as follows :—He
stated that he was the administrator to the estate of
Mrs. Johanna O'Keefe, an elderly lady, who died
on the Bth of last June, at her lodgings, at the house
of Mr. R. Carter, a master-builder, 91, Drury-lane.
He had evidence to prove that the deceased had in
her desk, about the time of her death, the sum of
225/. in Bank of England notes, a few sovereigns,
and a bill of exchange, due next October, for 200/.
On his taking possession of the property after her
death, the Bank-notes were missing, and there only
remained in the desk the bill for 2001., and four so-
vereigns and a half. He had investigated the circum-
stances strictly, and he had grounds of the strongest
suspicion that the landlady, Mrs. Carter, and her son,
John Carter, had stolen the Bank-notes out of thel
desk of the deceased after her death.
Mr. MARRIOTT desired Dr. Farre to sta'e the
grounds of his suspicion.

Dr. Farre said, that the deceased had property in
the West Indies, and received remittances from
Barbadoes. He had obtained from her bankers, in
London, the number of the Bank-notes that had been
paid to her, and he had traced the greater part of
these very notes to have been paid into the Bank of
England since her death, endorsed in the name and
hand-writing of John Carter.

Dr. Farre here produced a number of documents,
to prove the receipt of the money by the deceased,
and an account of the numbers of the bank-notes paid
into the Bank of England, with Carter's endorse-
ment. The applicant further stated, that Mrs. Carter,
who had the key of the deceased's desk, had denied
having opened it after death ; but on searching
among the papers, he had discovered a memorandum
of Mrs. O'Keefe's death, in the hand-writing of
John Carter, which clearly proved that the desk
musk have been opened after her decease, and which
he supposed must have been left there by accident
by a party who had opened the desk.
Warrants were immediately issued against Mrs.
Elizabeth Carter and her son John Carter, and yes-
terday they were apprehended by Woodberry and
Handley, and placed at the bar before Mr. MARRIOTT.
Mr. Harmer's clerk attended for the prosecution,
who intimated to the Magistrate that they bad sent
to Dr. Farre to inform him of the apprehension of
the prisoners, but he was from home, and the mes-
senger had not been able to find him, as he had gone
out on his professional business : there were, how-
ever, several witnesses in attendance.

Miss Ann Springwear stated, that she resided at
No. 11, Charterhouse-square, with Dr. Farre's fa-
ther-in-law. She knew the deceased Mrs. O'Keefe
very intimately and confidentially for many years.—
She died on the Bth of June. Witness had seen her
about a week previous to her death. She was in
the habit of keeping a quantity of bank-notes in her
desk. She had 225/. in bank-notes in the desk on
the Bth of last April ; she had since received a bill
of exchange for 2001., which was due next October,
which was also deposited there. The deceased never
would allow any person to change a bank-note for
her but witness, and she had told her she never al-
lowed any one else.

Mr. MARRIOTT—How long had Mrs. O'Keefe
lodged at the prisoner's house ? Witness—She
went to lodge there on the 2d of April last.
Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you know the reason of her
going to lodge at Mrs. Carter's ? Witness—l be-
lieve she had a frierd who lodged in the same house,
and she had formerly lodged with Mrs. Carter.
Witness continued—She was informed of the
death of the deceased on the afternoon of the day she
died, and immediately went to the house in Drury-
lane. Mrs. Carter's first expression to her was,
that Mrs. O'Keefe was dead, and before her death
she was extremely angry with her for employing a
nurse to attend. Witness asked her for the key of
the deceased's desk, as she knew it contained mo-
ney, and intended to take it to Dr. Farre. Mrs.
Carter replied the key was below, and she would
bring it her, which she did. On opening the desk
she expected to put her hands immediately on the
bank-notes; but they were all gone, the papers were
all in confusion, and there was only left in money
four sovereigns and a half, and the bill due in Oc-
tober for 2001. Witness remarked to Mrs. Carter
that she expected to find a parcel of consequence
for Dr. Farre, but it was not there. She replied,
that as they were merely papers, they could not be
of much consequence. Witness did not say a word
about any bank-notes, as she did not know whether
it would be right ; nor did Mrs. Carter allude to any
bank notes during their conversation.

Mr. MARRIOTT—Did any further conversation
pass between you ? Witness—Yes ; Mrs. Carter
said that Mrs. O'Keefe had told her that she had no
money, but that she had a bill of exchange for 2001.,
which became due in October, and she would then
pay for her lodgings.

Mr. MARRIOTT—Had you received any informa-
tion that Mrs. O'Keefe was so dangerously ill ?
Witness—l had not. I was surprised at hearing of
her death. She did not appear dangerously ill on
the Monday I saw her, which was a week previous
to her death.

Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you suppose if she felt worse
she would have sent for you ? Witness—l have
not the slightest doubt of it. Mrs. Carter said F. he
did not think it necessary to send for me, and as she
was too ill to attend herself, she had employed a
nurse, which made Mrs. O'Keefe so angry.
Mr. MARRIOTT—Do you know of what complaint
the deceased died 2—Mr. Frederick John Farce, son
of the prosecutor, here said that it had since been
ascertained that he had died of an inflammation of
the membrane of the lungs.

Mr. MARRIOTT asked the prisoners if they wished
to ask any questions of the witness.
Mrs. Carter—l wish to ask her whether she has
not heard Mrs. O'Keefe say that she intended to
make me a compliment ? Witness—l have heard
her say so.
Mrs. Carter—Do you remember Mrs. O'Keefe
saying that you and I would quarrel before the year
was out ? Witness—Never in my life.
Mr. MARRIOTT—Did you ever observe Mrs.
O'Keefe evince any particular grateful feeling to-
wards Mrs. Carter, so that you would imagine she
intended to make her a handsome remuneration ?
Witness—Certainly not; quite the contrary. She
paid 13s. per week for her lodgings, and Mrs. Carter
applied to me to ask Mrs. O'Keefe to give her Is.
per day more on account of her attendance. I thought
she ought to have something more for her attend-
ance, and mentioned the circumstance to Mrs.
O'Keefe, which Made her very angry, and she said
that she thought 13s. per week was quite sufficient.
A bill and receipt for Mrs. O'Keefe's lodgings
from the 2d April to the Bth of June was also
shown to the Magistrate, which had been paid by
Dr. Farre since her decease.
William Woodberry, an officer of this establish-
ment, stated that when he apprehended Mrs. Carter
he informed her of the charge against her. She

then voluntarily told him that !be said. lady had
made her a present of the balik.-notes before she
died, and made her promise Inv to say how much
the amount was, or any thing about it, to any one.
Indeed, she added, that the ohrlady had given her the
whole of her property : the bill for 2001. she had
given to her little eirl, but the child could not read
it, and it was put balk in her desk. Witness 1)1(11
said to her, " 61ippme any of the notes were traced
into the Bank with the name of Carter endorsed on
them, what would you say ?" She replied that she
would say it was all right, for the property was
given to her.
Mr. MARRIOTT inquired what evidence there was
again the son ?—Mr. Frederick Farre, jun., stated
that to his certain knowledge most important evi-
dence would be produced against the son, but the
witnesses had not had sufficient notice to attend.

Mr. M4RRIOTT asked the prisoners if they wished
to say any thing ?—Mrs. Carter made a statement
similar to the evidence of Woodberry, and added,
that there was a gold watch which Mrs. O'Keefe
had given her, which she had given up to Dr.
Farm

Mr. MARRIOTT said, he should remand the pri
sorters for further examination.

The prisoners asked if they could not be admitted
to bail.

Mr. MARRIOTT replied in the negative, and said
he made no distinction of parties.
The prisoners were then committed to Tothill-
fields.
