POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—BURGLARIES AND ROBHIRIfiII
lii Tue CITV.-21farianne Dove and Elizabeth Dove
were charged on suspicion of being connected with a gang
of thieves who have committed Some robberies in the City.
The officers having received information that some stolen
property was concealed in the house of the prisoners, in
Paradise-street, Windmill-street, Finsbury, went there
under pretence of looking at some lodgings, and in a room
which was locked up, and which the prisoner, Marianne
Dove, said was let to a man who had the key in his posses-
sion, they found a considerable quantity of broad cloth,
the corners of whick had been cut off, evidently for the
purpose of preventing the property from being recog-
nized. In a 'closet in the same house, they found about
three hundred and a half of cochineal. In another room
was found a quantity of new buttons. The property which
had been found is supposed to be worth between 3001. and
4001.

Mr. Hobson, of Cornbill, elaitned the cloth and buttons,
and said they had been stolen from his warehouse between
Saturday night and Monday morning last. The amount
of the property which was then stolen was between 2001.
and 300/.

Mr. Smith, of St. Mary Axe, drysalter, stated, that be-
tween Saturday night and Monday morning, his warehouse
in St. Mary Axe was broken open, and robbed of nearly
800 weight of cochineal, worth about 6001.
The prisoners were remanded for a further examination.
HATTON-GARDEN.—John Stroud, a sturdy men-
dicant, was brought before Mr. Sergeant Sxm.ox, on a
charge of begging.
Chiswill, one of the Mendicity officers, said that he found
Stroud begging in Dean-street, Holborn. He observed him
going from house to house in that neighbourhood, annoy-
ing the inhabitants for money. He followed him into a
greengrocer's shop, where he gave impudence to the woman
who was attending her customers, because she would not
attend to him ; and when he found that lie had nothing to
expect, lie said to the woman, " you are like a good many
more of yous, yous gets your money easy enough. Look
there, yous buys them there cucumbers for a -halfpenny
a piece, and you sells them for three-halfpence a piece."—
The fellow looked very significantly at the woman's cus-
tomers, and shook his head, and shrugging his shoulders,
he left the shop with rapidity, and darted into the next
house. The officer followed him and took him into cus-
tody, searched him, and found on his person six shillings
in silver, and fourpence-halfpenny in coppers. The fel-
low's appearance was disgusting ; he wore no shirt, and his
bosom, which was quite black with hair, was purposely
exposed. The officer said Stroud was an old offender.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON said it was evident he was not
in distress, from the money found upon him by the Mendi-
city officer. He should therefore send him to the House
of Correction for one month.

A man of colour, a native of Bombay, was brought up
also for begging.
The Mendicity officer said he found the black begging
in Chancery-lane ; and, from what he could understand
from him, he was sure that he (the black) ran away from
his ship, as many of those people do when they come to
this country.

Mr. LAING asked him to what ship he belonged.
The man of colour could not be distinctly understood,
but it was supposed that he meant the Lady Flora.
The Mendicity officer said a gentleman spoke to the
black in his native language, and understood from him that
his Captain ran away from him; but the most probable
story was that he ran away from the Captain.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON said the best thing that could be
done was to have the poor fellow taken to the India-house,
in Leadenball-street, and ascertain to what ship he belonged,
which would be a better course than to send him to prison,
particularly as poor creatures like him were not aware that
it was an offence in this country to beg.
The Mendicity officer promised to attend to the humane
suggestions of the Worthy Magistrate, and left the office.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A man, named James
Hall, was charged with having stolen a tine black New-
foundland dog, belonging to Mr. Wynn, M.P. It ap-
peared from the evidence of several of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman's servants, that the dog, upon which Mr. Wynn
set a high value, was missed in the course of Wednesday
from Mr. Wynn's residence in Whitehall-place, and in con-
sequence of information which Mr. Wynn's coachman re-
ceived, on the same day the dog was missed, he proceeded
to the house, No. 2, King-street, Drury-lane, where he
found a collection of dogs of various kinds, and among
them he discovered his master's. The man who appeared
to be the owner of the dogs seemed greatly alarmed on the
coachman claiming the dog, and disclosed the name of the
man from whom he purchased it, and who, on further in-
quiry, proved to be the prisoner.
Sir G. FARRANT convicted the prisoner under the Act
of Parliament, in the penalty of 51., which the prisoner
being unable to pay, he was committed to the House of
Correction for two mouths anti hard labour.
