POLICE RICPORTS.

Maxerow-Hotraz.—Geterge Williams was charged with having
stolen a portfolio, containing stamps to the value of 5.11. the property a
Mr. Stevens, of 35, Throgmorton.straet.
James Bull, servant to the prosecutor, stated that at a little after font
o'clock on Saturday last, as he returned to the shop, from one of the
fire offices, he saw the prisoner with a book in his hand, coming we
of the door. One of the partners was serving a customer at the moment
with wafers ; witness believing that all was wrong with the prionoei.
collared him, and took the book from him.
Mr. Holger, jun. appeared for the prisoner, and asked the 'know
whether the prisoner did not appear to be looking over the book at
the time, and whether a mistake might not have bow made as to his
apparent intention to go away with the property ?
The witness replied that the prisoner was evidently making off with
the book.

Fully committed far trial.
Mr. Jones, a respectable solicitor, melding in the narrow put ef
Princes.atmet, near the Bank, charged several vapbond boys with hit.
ing acted in such a manner as to give great eseistanos to the operations
of pickpockets, and for having used the most digesting language.
It appears from Mr. Jones's statement, that the boys congseeate in
Princes-stree when a coach or cart meets with another vehicle in the
narrow part, and begin a regular blow-up at one party or the other.
At such times a passenger often loses his watch, or handkerchief,
and the thief easily escapes with the aid of the young blackguards:
who lend a band, and escape under the hones' bellies. Several re-
cent instances of the kind had occurred ; and except some check Ira
given to the rising villainy of the idle children of the metropolis
the safety of property would be much less secure than It at prism
was. The language used by the infant ruffians too, was of so di*.
• nature, that a resident in Princes-street could not sit with
Easstnat y in the front of the house.
The LORD MAYOR observed that the cads and Wise fellows belong.
ing is the stage-coaches encouraged the boys to act in the manner de.
scribed. His Loniship sent back the defendants to prison, and said he
should issue directions with respect to the conduct of the coachmen sad
cads.

GIIILDHALL.—WitIisies Monica, Jobe Met* and Jews Davis,
were charged with committing a violent assault upon a seafaring man,
in Barbican, about twelve o'clock on Monday night.
hlagson, a watchman, said the prisoners came along, arm.in.arm, anti
Monks pushed against the sailor in passing. Whether the latter made
any resistance to this treatment he did not observe ; but the next thing
he saw was, that Monks and Davis rushed upon the sailor, and Bong
him down into the road. The witness and some other persons secured
the prisoners, as the man seemed to be severely hurt, and was covered
with blood and dirt. He appeared to be somewhat intoxicated.
Mr. Aldeaman THOMPSON recognized Monks as a noted uttrterof
base coin, who had been discharged by him on Monday morning.
Mr. Alderman, one of the Common Councilmen of the ward in
which the affair happened, said he accompanied the parties to the watch.
house, and entered the charge. Austin Impudently said that he was a
resurrection.man, and should perhaps one day take charge of his (Mr.
Alderman's) body. The sailor was not now in attendance, perhaps
from inability, he having received a dreadful wound on the head, not
was his address known. A watchman was sent with him to Cloth fair,
where he said he lived, but he was not known there ; and he was then
accompanied to Golden-lane, where he was left, the watchman being
unwilling to neglect his beat any longer. A Mr. Wilkinson, who saw
the whole of the assault, had likewise failed to attend.

The prisoners said the sailor struck them first.
Mr. Alderman Tuoursow remanded the prisoom till Thursday, in
the hope of discovering in the interim, whether the sailor was seriously
hurt or not.

Bow-fkrazwr —Fellows, the old Leicestershire freeman, was again
brought forward yesterday, before Mr. Minshull, for further exarnina.
tion on a charge of having defrauded several persons out of money,
by pretending that he could procure foe them Government situations.
On this occasion, two fresh charges of a similar description were
brought forward against him • and Mr. Boucher, one of the Solicitors
for the Treasury, stated, that be had a charge of felday to prefer
against the prisoner, who had signed a will as an attesting witness, well
knowing at the that the will was forged. The facts were these:—
In the year 1826. a former, named Richard Luke K'ynie, died, and a
will was placed in the hands of Mr. Mule and applicant, for the put.
pose of being proved in the Ecclesiastical Court. The necessary steps
to obtain the probate of the will were taken, but upon examination, it
was finally rejected by the Court is • forgery. The prisoner Fellows
was one of the attesting witnesses, and since then no trace of him could
be obtained, until the report of his examination at this office appeared
in the newspapers. On reading that report, the King's Advocate coui.
municated with the Lords of the Treasury, who at once issued dine.
dons to have the prisoner prosecuted.
Mr. MINSIIIILL said that he was quite ready to hear any charge on
the subject.
Mr. Bonaire replied that he was not dm mowed with any evi.
duce, but that if the prisoner were detainedl enstody for a week,
the proof necessary to bring home the charge iambi be adduced.
Mr. Minsaut.r. accordingly remanded the grissaer.
MAIT-LA-11031111Z.-4 gentleman nese the Regent's Park
was en Monday brought the embalm J. Rowszn-:
sox, Req. on a warrant charging him with m nernalt.
Bury Mestsard, the son of a respeesside tradesman. stated 'that
about five o'clock on Friday evening, he was in quest of a Mr. Wil.
llama, whose address he was imperfectlyacquainted with, and he saw
the defendant knocking at a deals Faniestreet t be went up to
him, and inquired if Mr. Williams resided there ; and on being an.
swered in the negative, he made farther Inquiry as to whether he was
in Frederick-street, upon which the defendant desired him to leave the
place he stood in, and on the complainsnes declaring that he had aright
to remain, as he had only civilly made an inquiry. be broke a good sired
stick across his back.

The gentleman said, in defence that be had endeavoured to avoid
the complainant, but he had crossed after hint, and having made a num.
bee of inquiries, the complainant was certainly ordered to go away.
Mr. IRAWLINIIOII-1311t what broke the stick ?
Defendant—O. I struck him arson the back, because he was into.
lent. He made use of scandalous language.
Mr. RAWLIXIII3II.-Just mention a little of it.

Defendant—l don't exactly remember what vu said.
Mr. Itairustsow—lf it were gross ai.d obscene, you surely must
remember a little of it.
Defendant—Well, then, he called me a blackguard, and thing. of
that sort. . .

—. —.—
The worthy Magistrate observed, that the assault was quite unjusti.
Sable, and be would advise the parties to retire.
The complainant received a *bromism remedy.
Toww.um.c.—Charles Salkslel and Thomas Chapman, sweepers of
the crossing at the end of Thomas's.street, were brought beige Mr.
Alderman Ansley, under these circumstances —The elder of the two
swept up three sovereigns, of which the Aber demanded a share ; this
was refused ; the broomsticks went to work, upon which, a policeman
interfered, and the consequence was, the impounding of the then so.
vereigns in the hands of the Alderman. The otheers stated that
nothing could be more likely than the finding of the sovereigns, U.
during the election, the corner of St. Thomas's-street was the haunt of
thieves. who, if likely to be detected, would drop their booty. The
three sovereigns were claimed on the part of the High Bailiff, as the
representative of the Corporation, to whom they belonged, las a
" suite," by long established right, as Lords of the Manor. The Al.
demon informed the scavengers, that if they applied at the City
Chamber, where the money would be paid in, he had no doubt the
Chamberlain would order them to be paid at least one.half the amount.
as had been often done before ; and with this they departed, expressing
their thanks.
Aim Ansley, a miserable poor woman, surrounded by five lovely
children, was charged with stealing Sib.. weight of beef from the they
of bit. Atkins, a butcher, near the Borough.market. In her defence
she urged the extremity of distress; her husband, who was a comb-
maker, unable to obtain employment in town, was gone upon the
tramp." She had since received from him eight shillings in the came
of six weeks ; but he, fearing the potash of the parish officers, had a°4_,
let her know where he was. Her children cried to bee for bind, =a
she had none to give them; her heart was nearly broken, sad in
St of despair she committed her first fault against society.—
Several respectable persons, with whom the prisoner had formerly
lived as servant, gave her a most excellent character. 141 r. Alderman
ANSLIT, in the language of humanity, pointed out to be. the ea-
, .
lomat sorrow she was preparing for herself, by so improper a count.
she ought to have applied to the parish. Mr. Atkins, the prosectot,
to his lasting credit, interfered on the prisoner's behalf, and she wa- in
consequence discharged.
