POLICE REPORT:;.

GUILDHALL.—IIiIIiant lisebelul, warehouseman to Messrs. Har-
vey, Brand, and Co. Friday-street, Cheapside, was before Mr.
'Alderman COPELAND, with stealing a quantity ofehrnlause scarfs,
handkerchiefs, and veils, to the value of between 501. and 601. the pro-
' petty of his employers.
Henry Denby, warehouseman to Mesas. Leif, Copeland, and Co.
No. 8, Watling-street, stated that, on Friday, the Bth instant, a young
man, who stated his name to be Bradley. came to the warehouse, and
produced a specimen of gauze handkerchiefs, which he wished to dis-
pose of. Offering them at about M. per cent. below their value, ex-
cited Danby's suspicions that they were not fairly come by, and
also being in the habit of buying goods of the same deserip.
lion from Mr. Brand, for the last eight years, he appointed to
meet Bradley at two:o'clock the same day, at Bread-street, where he
should see the entire quantity which was to be disposed of, and in the
mean while went to Mr. Brand's to acquaint him of the circumstance.
According to an arrangement made with that gentleman, he kept his
appointment with Bradley at ! o'clock. and purchased from him a quan-
tity of gauze scarfs, handkerchiefs, and veils, for 461. which was to be
paid at five o'clock that evening. Bradley delivered the goods, and
called in the evening for the money ; but, as had aheady been agreed
upon, Mr. Denby was not at home, and be was desired to call at nine the
following morning. He called accordingly, and was kept waiting
while Mr. Brand was being sent for. When Mr. Brand
came, Bradley was asked how the goods came into his possession ? to
which he replied, that he had got them from a Mrs. Wallace, who, he
understood, had them from a young man whom he saw at Mrs. Wal-
lace's the previous evening, and whom he would know again. The pri-
soner was then sent for, and as soon as Bradley saw him, he immediately
identified him as the person whom he had seen at Mn. Wallace's.
The prisoner was then taken up-stairs, and asked in witnesses's pre-
sence by Mr. Brand, why he had robbed him, when the prisoner ac-
knowledged he had betrayed the trust reposed in him; he could not ac-
count why he did it ; he did not care for himself, but for his wife who
he was sure would break her heart, and hoped that the affair might be
compromised. Mr. Brand replied, that it could admit of no compro-
mise whatever, and must stand upon its own merits.
Mr. James Brand corroborated the last witness's account of the con.
versation which had taken place. Bradley told him that when he saw
the young man at Mrs. Wallace's, the previous evening, he recom-
mended him not to go for payment next morning, as, if he did, he was
sure to be detained. The prisoner knew the night before of the dis-
covery which had taken place, the books having been examined by Mr.
Brand's ortloy, to ascertain if a particular pattern of handkerchief, which
was found among the goods sold to Mr. Denby, had been disposed of;
but which the inquiry proved had not.
Mr. David Brand, partner with the last witness. stated that on Sa.
nudey evening the prisoner was removal from Leif and Co.'s to his
house in Friday.street, and questioned by hint as to the extent of the
goods stolen, independent of those purchased by Mr. Denby, when he
admitted having taken three or four dozen of handkerchiefs, worth 435.
per dozen, also a variety of other articles. He said he conveyed them
front the premises by two or three dozen at a time, and never took them
to his own house, but to Mrs. Wallace's; also that he commenced this
system of pilfering about three months ago, when Mr. Brand went to
Brighton. The goods purchased by Mr. Danby at 431. were worth, at
manufacturers' prices, about 6.711.
William Bradley stated that he was shopman to Messrs. Shetland,
silkmerceni, No. 27, Bishopsgate-street, and knew the goods produced,
and which he had sold to Mr. Denby. He did not buy these goods
himself, but received them front his employers to dispose of. He sold
them in the name of Bradley and Co. not in the r.ame of his employers,
as he was aware he could not effect a sale if he presented himself from a
retail house. The goods in question were sold to Mr. Shetland by a
lady named Wallace, whom they knew for several years past as a re-
spectable milliner, residing at No. 6, George's-street, Minories. They
were not brought all at the same time, but in different lots of from
seven to eight dozen each ; they were purchased publicly over the
counter, and no attempt made at concealment. Witness saw the pri-
son. r twice; the first time was on Friday evening, when a messenger
was sent front Mrs. Wallace to Mr. Shetland, requesting that some one
would come there to see the young man from whom she had purchased
the goods. Witness went there, and found the prisoner waiting. The
prisoner said, that it' witness went to Leif and Co.'s next morning for
the motley, he would lose his situation, and wished to know if the sent
for which the goods set re sold to Denby was repaid to witness by the
prisoner and his party, wonld witness decline calling next day • Wit.
nest replied that he had sold the goods for 461. and would certainly call'
for the money, which he expected to be paid. On his return, he told
Mr. Shetland that, In his opinion, the goods were not fairly come by.
They were sold to Mr. Denby at a profit of about 18d. per dozen above
what Mrs. Wallace sold them at.

The prisoner declined saying anything, and was committed for trial.
Mr. Leif applied to the Alderman, to know if he would keep the goods
in his possession. He was applied to on Saturday by Mr. SharLmd fur
the amount for which they were bought.
The Alderman said he would decline making any order.
It was then understood that the goods shall remain with Mr. Leif
until the trial.

Bow-STREET.---Franois TruU was charged by Mrs. Hansel!, of 11
Aliddle-row, Holborn, with stealing fifteen silk handkerchiefs. Mrs.
Hansell stated, that the prisoner went into the shop yesterday morning,
and asked to look at some stockings, and whilst the complainant turned
her back he took the handkerchiefs from the counter. She seized him,
and gave him into custody. On being searched the handkerchiefs
were found in his hat, and also a school ticket as follows:--4. Coy-
tinue thou in the things that thou bast been assured of."—Matthew,
The Alagistrate (Mr. Minshull) complimented Mrs. Hansel on her
courage, and committed the prisoner for trial.
The incorrigible Lady iflarryntore was once more brought up, charged
as usual with being drunk and disorderly, but as no one came forward
to substantiate the charge, the magistrate ordered her to be set at liber-
ty, and told the Police not to bring her up again, unless the complain-
ing parties would come forward against her.
Uxiox-reztra..--Mats lasts, a servant-girl, was charged with a rob-
bery in the house of Mr. Lightfoot, of Camberwell.
The prisoner had obtained a situation in the complainant's family, by
means of a fictitious character given of her in writing. She bad not
been more than three weeks in her situation, when Mrs. Lightfoot hav-
ing accidentally left her purse, containing six sovereigns, on the parlour
table, when she was going out, on her return, immediately dis-
covered that one of the number was taken. Suspicion was ex.
cited against the prisoner, but she resolutely denied the theft, upon
which the key of her box was demanded, which she reluctantly gave
up; and on searching it. upwards of thirty pounds wcrth of
Mr. Lightfoot's property, consisting of a dressing ease, and various
other articles, were found concealed therein. Upon this discovery, the
prisoner, who was standing by at the time, fell upon her knees, im.
ploted forgiveness, and immediately drew forth the sovereign taken from
the purse, acknowledging her guilt, and admitting at the sense time that
she had obtained the situation by a fictitious character. In the prison.
er's possession was found a letter from her sweetheart, vowing eternal
fidelity, arAl ending with a broad hint for money, which he said be then
stood in much need of. The Magistrate, on perusal of the epistle, re-
marked that he thought all along there was a man at the bottom of the
business, who encouraged her to rob her master, and that opinion was
confirmed by the letter just read.
The prisoner was committed.
WownlP-sr.—Buitcy was charged with a daring attempt to plunder
the house of N 0.3, Wiltshire-place, Islington. Mr. Waters stated that
he had the care of the house. He was returning home about eight
o'clock in the evening, and discovered, as he passed the house, that one
of the parlour windows had been forced. He then went in to examine
the interior, hut as soon as he entered two men rushed down stairs, and
one of them escaped, but the other (the prisoner) he seized, and atter a
desperate scuflie succeeded in giving him into the custody of a police
constable. Different apartments in the house had been entered, and
linen, plate, and other valuable property, were found lying about, and
partly made into bundles, ready to be carried off'. The prisoner was
remanded.

charged with having in nis possession a quantity of unpertuitted spirits,

goods in the west of England. A few days afterwards Mrs.T. received in.

THE LATE ASSAULT IN COVENT GARDEN THEATIii

Monday morning Mr. limbic waited upon Mr. Halls, tile li,sl4i.
trate at Bow-street, to ascertain it his presence was required at il.r• et-
flee, or if any charge would be made ITainst him by Mr. We, -•se•itt
in the course of the day ?
Mr. Maxis said that no charge of any kind had as yet bm.
before him. If, however, there was, he had no doubt that Mr. Keintli
would be made acquainted with it.
Mr. Semble said, whenever he understood that his presence was •
quired to meet any charge made against him, he would attepil
Mr. Kemble then retired. . .

In the course of the day Mr. Thomas' the Superintendent,
appearance before Mr. Halls, to inform him that Mr. Westin:troy-4,
least he had been written to to that effect—was unable to attend •,o pr
fer any charge against Mr. Kemble, who had assaulted hint.
' Mr. HALLS said that he had nothing to do with the matter, as ;:.,
affair had not yet come judicially lit fon him. He had, however, gas'
reason to believe that Mr. Kemble would attend at any tir.te that Mc
Westmacott thought fit to make a charge against him.
Mr. Thomas said he merely came to inform Mr. Halls of the tease:
of the case not being brought forward that day, as he might have es
petted it would, front what had transpired on Saturday night. Mr.
Thomas was then about to retire, when

Mr. HALLS said he had one question to put to him. His Worshir
i then inquired why, as he had seen the assault, and being an officer etu.
powered to keep the peace, he had rot taken Mr. Kemble at ono'
Into custody ?
Mr. Thomas replied that he knew such was the practice in general
and explained the cause of his not having acted in that way, by statieg
that on part of the audience becoming acquainted with the persons of
Mr.Westmacott and Mr. Kcmhle. a general ,hooting took place, aiol J
disposition was evinced by many gentlemen present to follow up the
assault upon Mr.lVestmacott, who had fallen on the floor. After hav-
ing prevented Mr. Kemble from assaulting him further, he was engaged
in begging thole present to keep the peace, and see that no further in-
jury was done to Itir-Westmacott. Al'hilst so engaged, and the whole
atfair was the work of a moment, Mr.Kemble, without saying anything,
walked away to the green-room. Mr.Weatmacott asked him then to
take his arm, but this he rettwil to do, noticing that the audience mani-
fested strong feelings of dislike to Mr. Wcstrnavott. The latter thug
charged him with having acted unfairly, and told hint at his peril to g
and take Mr. Kemble into custody, and convey him to Bovv-Lr :ct. H.
accordingly went to Mr. Remble in the green-room, and u.lO
had been said. Mr. Kernble said he would go cheerfully to Buse-street,
and accordingly walked with hint to the

from drowning herself in the Serpentine River, and whose appearance
led him to suppose that she belonged to some respectable family. Th.
