POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
WORSHIP-STREET.
George Jenns, a middle-aged person of respectable
appearance was re-examined before Mr. Bingham
upon a charge of having embezzled various sums of
money amounting to upwards of 5001. the property of
Mr. Wm. Weedon, the proprietor of a patent leather
japanning manufactory, in Hoxton Old Town.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, with Mr. Hobler, con-
ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin defended the
prisoner.
Mr. Clarkson in stating the case said, that the pri-
soner formerly carried on the business of a leather
japanner in Hoxton, on his own account, that his
affairs became embarrassed and he was ultimately
made a bankrupt. Mr. Weedon, the prosecutor, was
his creditor to the amount of about 4901., and before
he obtained his certificate, the prisoner urged the
latter to take the business and allow the prisoner to
manage it for him. The prosecutor acceded to the
proposal and engaged the prisoner as his servant at
the weekly wages of 41. The business was carried
on for a considerable time under the prisoner's ma-
nagement, but the prosecutor at length discovered
that the amounts of several bills had been paid to him,
although he was not authorised to receive money
from customers, and that he had appropriated them
to his own use, on which he gave him into custody.
Several witnesse§ were examined who deposed to
their having paid the prisoner -various sums on ac-
count of the prosecutor, which the latter denied
having ever received.
In answer to an application to admit the prisoner
to bail, the Magistrate said that he should require
two sureties for his appearance in 5001. each.
UNION-HALL.
Yesterday a person who attended professionally on
the behalf of Lindsey Cranford, the claimant to the
Crauford peerage, who was brought up to this Court
on a charge of being a returned convict some time
ago, made the following application relative to that
individual. Having described the circumstances
under which Mr. Crauford was brought to that Court,
he intimated that he was now in Ireland awaiting his
trial at the spring assizes for returning from trans-
portation, it being alleged he was sentenced to banish-
ment for life for horsestealing in the county of Lon-
donderry. The object of the present application was
to ascertain from the Magistrate whether at the period
Crauford was brought before him, a witness, who
stated himself to be the Captain of a convict ship,
did not prove that a man named Cranford was one of
the convicts whom he took out to South Australia at
the period it was said the claimant for the Crauford
peerage was transported, and that the witness on
seeing the latter individual admitted that he was not
the man.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that he recollected a person
coming forward when the individual alluded to was
brought before him, and stating that he was not the
convict of that name who went out on board the ship
of which he was the Captain.
The applicant said that he had received a commu-
nication from Ireland on the subject of Mr. Crau-
ford's detention in that country. That subsequently
to his having been discharged from that Court he was
retaken and conveyed to Guildhall, and thence sent to
Ireland on a warrant backed by an Irish magistrate.
Applicant having attended the examinations that took
place at this Court on the behalf of the accused, he, as
well as his solicitor in Ireland, was most desirous that
his trial should take place here, as the principal wit-
nesses were in town. If all the circumstances con-
nected with Mr.Crauford's case were known, it would,
be found that a foul conspiracy existed against him,
principally owing to his exertions to obtain his rights
as claimant to the Cranford peerage. Applicant
added, that in the event of being unsuccessful in re-
moving the trial from Ireland to this 'country, he
should obtain the affidavit of the witness alluded to in
order to prove Mr. Cranford was not the convict who
went out on board his ship. At the period it was
alleged he had returned to this country, there was no
notice given at Mr. Capper's office of the escape of a
prisoner of that name. It was true Mr. Cranford had
been in Van Diemen's Land, and at the time of his
leaving the colony he made his intention known by
public advertisement, a circumstance at once proving
that he was not a returned transport.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that if the allegations of
the applicant were founded in fact, and as yet they
were not controverted, a trial in Ireland would answer
precisely the same purpose, for if the case was not
made out against the individual referred to, no doubt
he would be acquitted.
THAMES-POLICE.
Yesterday a weather-beaten sailor was brought be-
fore Mr. Ballantine, to account for his being found in
the Thames at a very late hour on Thursday night. -
Reuben Webb, a policeman, said a waterman gave
the prisoner into his charge, and said he found him
floating in the Thames at Blackwall. The sailor was
very drunk, and could not stand.
The sailor said his name was Henry Holm 6, and he
belonged to the Royal Mail steam-packet Tweed,
which arrived in the river, from the West Indies, on
Wednesday night, and he afterwards came ashore.
Mr. BALLANTINE—You were not ashore when you
were picked up? The Sailor— I will tell you how
that was, your Honour. You see, I came ashore to
see a friend, and gets a precious sight too much grog.
Well, I rolls down to Blackwall-stairs, and pays a
waterman to take me on board my ship, the Tweed;
and when I gets alongside, they would not lower the
gangway ladder, and so I climbed up the paddle-box,
and fell off, and the v. aterman picks me up, and takes
me back to the shore. I could get no one else to con-
vey me back to the steamer, so I determined to have a
swim for it; and so here I am, and I don't how how.
Mr. BALLANTINA—You would never have reached
ship ; and i you had not been picked up by a water-
man, you must have been drowned.
The Sailor—The liquor was too much for me. If
yt c will let me go, it shall not happen again.
Mr. BALLANTINE—If you are picked up in that way
again, I will send you to the House of Correction.
Get back to your ship as ,fast as you can.

THE LATE POISONING CASE IN
THE BOROUGH.

Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Brown
Bear, Southwark Bridge-road, on the body of Robert
Westwood, aged nine years, who died from the effects
of poison, of which he had partaken, in conjunction
with six other boys, about his own age. The details
of the circumstances were given in this journal of
Wednesday.
Charles Chambers, a boy, ten years of age, deposed
to having, whilst on his way to school, picked up
something lying at the edge of the pavement in Castle-
street. It had the appearance of brimstone, and being
sweet, he ate a portion, and gave the rest to the de-
ceased and five other boys on his arriving at school.
The deceased ate more than the others.

Mr. Wood,-surgeon, said he was called in to attend
the deceased. Witness believes he died from the
effects of poison (a portion of the stuff remaining was
here shown Mr. Wood, who pronounced it to be the
yellow sulphate of arsenic).
Mr. West, of No. 21, Castle-street, clerk to Mr.
Jarrard Haller, made a statement to the following
effect:7—That he had only removed to his present re-
sidenee"ahout ten days ago ; the poison had been given
to him for 'the purpose of destroying rats, and had
been in his possession about two years, and ho
supposed that in the bustle and confusion it had been
forgotten, and was inadvertently placed in the sill out-
side of the window, and his children had knocked it
into the street whilst playing.
The CORONER, in summing up said, great blame
attached to Mr. West, for incautiously leaving the
poison about, and that persons placing poison in any
place where it could be got at, were guilty of a very
serious offence, and punishable by law.
The Jury said, they hoped the press would give publi-
city• to the Coroner's remarks, which would operate as
a caution to persons having poison in their possession,
and then returned a verdict of " Accidental death by
inadvertently taking a deadly
poison."

EXTRAORDINARY FARM PBODUCE.—Perhaps the
Most successful example of what land is capable of
under proper management, in Ireland, and what im-
mense crops can be raised, may at present be seen on
the national model farm, under the Board of Educa-
tion, of Glasnevin, near Dublin. This farm is con-
ducted strictly on the improved system of green crop-
ping and house feeding. The farm contains fifty-two
statute acres, is conducted on a scientific rotation ; on
it are kept during the year twenty-two head of cattle,
with three horses. It supplies on an average ninety
persons during the year with farm produce, such as
milk, butter, potatoes, vegetables, &c. &c., and the
farming establishment with pork, besides a number of
private families, in the above articles. A consider-
able quantity of vegetables are carried to market, and all
kinds of grain, which is abundant. There is at present
a crop of oats upon the farm, the produce of fourteen
and a half British acres. It is secured in eight stacks,
and is estimated by the best judges to be equal to the
average produce of fifty acres. It stood perfectly
close upon the ground, averaged six to seven and a
half feet in height, the head and ear corresponding.
The other crops, potatoes, turnips, Italian rye, grass,
&c., &c., of like quality. The manager conducts the
farm on his own account, pays 257/. 7s. Bd. per an-
num of rent, besides other expenses, amounting in all
to upwards of 4001. a year ; and we are informed and
believe, that he realizes a very handsome annual sum
Ifrom it besides. He labours and manages it almost
exclusively by a number of boys, agricultural pupils,
and teachers, who are there in training in the science
and practice of agriculture.—Farmers Magazine for
November.
