POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

A boy, named John Cox, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, charged with having entered the pre-
mises of Mr. Taylor, who keeps the Blue Anchor
public-house, in Fenchurch-street, with intent to
plunder.
_ _ _

- The prisoner had been pot-boy in Mr. Taylor's
house, some time ago ; and it appeared that he had, at
at a late hour, made his way into the house, through
a window, and locked the landlord's bed-room door,
from the outside, in order, no doubt, to prevent Mr.
Taylor from leaving the chamber in the event of
alarm. The police in the neighbourhood having had
reason to suspect, from noises which they heard, that
something wrong was going on inside, knocked at the
door, and found that Mr. Taylor was a prisoner in his
own room, and the female was in great terror and
amazement. The house was searched but no person
was found. The bar-maid, however, at a little after
six o'clock in the morning, observed the prisoner
emerge from the trap-door of the cellar, with which
his former habits in the house had made him ac-
quainted, and the police, who, of course, had their
attention fixed upon the house, secured him.
The prisoner said it was a mistake. lie never had
been on the premises at all.
The Loan MAYOR—I consider the family had a
narrow escape. You were, no doubt, in the house to
let in thieves to plunder it.
The prisoner—l had no notion of committing any
offence, I was looking for a place only.
The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner to Bride-
well for two months.

GUILDHALL.
A STOLEN Boy.—David Cleaver, a very
the bar sharp,
intelligent-looking black boy, was placed at
charged with begging in the streets.
The charge was proved. The prisoner said in his
defence that he was a native of I3arbadoes. In the
spring of the present year he ova; bathing in the sea,
and the Captain of a vessel called the Triumph, which
was lying at anchor in the bay, came to him and
asked him if he would go with him to sea. He (the
prisoner) said he would not, and then the Captain
brought a boat and took prisoner's clothes, and told
him to swim after them to the ship. He swam to the
ship, and then he was seized and kept on board, and
the vessel sailed that evening for England. The
Captain discharged his cargo, and then refused to j
take him back to Barbadoes.
