POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Bow-STAZIM—.4IORMID AND CROIL )11111DNIM—Information
was -yesterday afternoon received at this Office of two horrid
and cruel murders committed nn the persons ofTudward Needle,
and his wife, the western turnpike-gate keeper, Mar Aylesbury,
Bucks. The circuthstances which led to the discovery of the
horrid deeds are as follow :
The above described persons were about sixty years of age,
and had kept the above gate for a number of years, except, with
a very short intertal, Ut consequenceof new farmers of the gate,
and were highly respected by all who knew them. They were
brutally murdered either late on Tuesday night or early yester-
day morning, but the general belief is, the horrid deeds were
perpetrated early yesterday morning, as when their bodies were
found yesterday morning they were not quite cold. The last
persons who saw them alive have not been discovered.
At six o'clock yesterday morning a baker was passing through
the gate with bread, on horseback ; he found the principal gate
open, which he did not wish to pus through, but through a aids
gate, to proceed to the village of Btoughten, and supposing Mr.
and .Mrs. Needle to be asleep, he avoided disturbing them, ind
went through their garden. It was the custom for them to leave
the gate open for the Aylesbury coach to pass through, when
they had not any parcels, messages, &c. to give the coachman.
The gate being open yesterday morning the coachman drove
through ; a boy, who was waiting with a parcel to give the
coachman a short distance through the gate, entreated the coach.
man to stop, saying Mrs. Needle was on her back, and he could
not wake her, on which the coachman, and in inhabitant of
Aylesbury on the outside of the coach. got down, when a most
horrid and shocking spectacle presented itself. Mrs. Needle was
lying on her back, dressed, her skull beaten in, and her brains
out. Mr. Needle was undressed, in bed, murdered in a similar
manner, with hit hands in a position as if he had imdeavoured to
party off blows.
The blood-thirsty villain or villains are supposed to have per-
petrated the horrid deed with a hedge-stake, which they left be-
hind. The principal property missed is a watch and a pistol. It
Is supposed the booty contemplated was the receipts of the toll,
but which had been paid by the deceased the preceding day. It
has caused great alarm in Aylesbury and the surrounding country.
Mr. Mixsnust., the Magistrate, belonging to the above Office,
being near the spot, was applied to, and he immediately sent
the information to London, when active and intelligent officers
were dispatched in all directions, and every possible-exertion is
making to discover the villains. ,

Sarah Scala was charged on suspicion of being concerned in
robbing the warehouse of Mr. e ommersoti, of Watling-street.
Mr. C. stated, that while at Islington on Sunday, the 10th inst.
he received notice that his warehouse bad been rubbed, and on
going thither he found it had been ttripped.of the whole stock,
to the value of aeleon. From information'the Officers received,
they searched the house of the prisoner's husband, a clothes
dealer, in Rosemary-lane, Who not helot in the way, they secured
the prisoner, and the was sent to Tothill-tields Bridewell till her
husband can be found.
John Harris, the servant of Colonel de Burgh, who absconded
with a dianiond ring and 75 sovereigns, was brought up from
Leeds. The fellow was particularly ungrateful, as be had been
sentenced by a Court Martial to •1000 lashes, when the Colonel
begged him off, and took him into his service.—Remanded.
hisxsto'fr-Hoesx.-Yesterday, Dr. Owen, Rector of St.Olave's,
Hart-street, applied to the Loan MAYOR to grant an order to
compel a parishioner to pay the tithes due, under the Act of
Henry VIII. The Statute gives the Magistrate power to im-
prison, on disobeying the order, until the demand is paid. The
Lynn MAYOR thought the system of tithes in the City an odious
one, and said he should not give the order prayed for until he
should have taken the opinion of Counsel as to whether it was im-
perative for him to do so. His L'or'dship then postponed the case.
Two dog stealers who infest the Royal Exchange, were con-
victed of stealibg a terrier, the property of Mr. Jackson, of Bar-
bican. They had sold and resold it; and' it appeared that the
buyers of these dogs made unprofitable purchases, as the animals
make it a point of returning to their first masters, and arc resold.
The fellows were in the habit of scenting themselves to entice
the dogs 'may: The Magistrate told them that to take away a
dog by a scent,was just the same in law as to take him by A rope,
or any other coercive means, and sentenced them to six months
hard lihouri
Four little boys who were found in a loft, which they had
got into for the purpoie of sleeping; Were brought before the Loan
Ma sort. Three, of them, .it appeared, had, front mere idle,
ness, left their parents; but the fourth, who had scarcely attained
his tenth year, his neither father' nor mother to go to: The'
poor orphan spoke of his deplorable state without shedding a
tear, and said that he did no wish tote a burthek to his parish.
The Lofto,Mavoi asked him in *hat Manner he was able to'
support himself? To which the borrePtied, that he had carried

she wat directed to.find them and a maim in that house, in which
Fuller lodged, being searched, a woman'a hand-basket was found
therein, containing seven skeleton keys, and one latch key. In
Barofield's box was found, a red Morocco pocket book, with a
silver clasp, the back of which was cut, apparently in being cut
from a breast coat pocket ; and two curious copper tokens, one
being inscribed " W.Williams, aged 18, 18'21," (the name of a
former paramour of this lady, now in Botany Bay), " When this
you see remember me, when I am far away," and the other Pan-
cifully engraved with flowers, and the name of ff Mark Herd"
on one side, and on the other inscribed " Dear Charlottes-when
this you see remember me, and bear me in your mind ; Let all
the world say what they wilt, speak of me as you find." •
Yesterday they were brought up for re-examination, and the
officers having ascertained by inquiry, that the house f Mr. de
Reimer had been broken into and robbed on Fhursduy morning,'
that Gentleman attended yesterday, when he identified the plate
found ritaehe table when the prisoners were taken, the snuff-box
dropped hiAyatts or Fuller, and the penknife dropped by Herd,
with some eMni• small articles,*as his property, and having been
stolen front his house en the morning in question. His cook,
who first discovered that the house. had been forcibly entered
and robbed, when she went down stairs, about seven o'clock
on Thursday morning,was likewise in attendance, and identified
the umbrella as belonging to the house-maid, her fellow-servant.
She also pointed to Watts, and said that he strongly resembled
a man whom she had frequently observed in the kitchen and
back yard of a house of ill fame in the rear of her master's house,
up to about a fortnight bef.)re the robbery ; hut, upon remi-
teethe', she said she thought his hair rather darker than that of
the man in question.
. They were committed for trial, and the parties bound over•to
proskcute and give evidence ; but they will he brought up again
on Monday next, by which time it is expected that evidence will
be forthcoming to substantiate other charges against them.
Jlsrs Campbell, a private soldier in oae of the Regiments of Foot
Guards, wee charged with stealing a table-cloth fibm the shop
of Mr. John Poole, who keeps an eating-house in Tothill-streer:
The prisoner went into the shop and took sorne.soup, for which
be paid. Mrs. Poole missing the cloth immediately afterwards,
charged the prisoner with having taken it, which he denied, and
was walking out of the shop ; Mrs. Poole, however, shut the
door, and while she was talking to him about it, she saw the
cloth fall front under the prisoner's coat, as also did a little girl,
Who was in the shop at the time. _
When the Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be committed
for further examination, the latter conducted himself in the most
-Insolent manner, rudely demanding why he was to be sent to
prison, when he had done nothing to deserve it?
Tuesday he was again brought up, and Joseph Hill, the street-
keeper, who took him into custody, said; that the'prisoner's ate-
jeant had called upon Mrs. Poole, and the latter was willing to
give hint up to the regiment if the Magistrate thoueht proper.
The Magistrate said, that the prisoner was in the hands of the
,sivil power, for an erffence against the criminal law, and no mi-
litary authority had any power in the case: lie supposed it was
an attempt to get him olf, but that should be prevented.
A scrjeant of the 31 Guards, who was present, said the priso-
ner would be punished its the regiment if he-were giveb up.
The Magistrate repeated, that the:prisoner was.Cliarged with
a felony, and was in the kends of the Civil Magistrate, who could
not, without a violation of his dtity," gierhim up; nor had the
officers of the regiment any business to interfere.
The serjeant said, the officers of the regiment had neither
made nor directed any 'application ; but bearing the man was in
custody, he, in the course of his dirty, galled on the prosecutor,
to inquire what wan the nature of the charge against him ? and
Mrs. Poole then said she did not want 'to prosecute the man; het
was willing to give him up-to the regimeet. :. If he had been
given up, he would have been punished.
The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Westminster
Sessions, and-the parties bound over to prosecute. .
MARY-La-BONNE.—Mr. Cooke, a baker, of Duke-street,Man-
chester-square, appeared before the Sltting :Magistrate, charged
with permitting two threepeuny.loaves to go .out of his, shop
without being regularly weighed in the presence of the purchaser.
It appeared in evidence that a young wonran, on M•ielny list,
purchased the two loaves and took Ahem from the shop; fon
taking them home they were considerably short of weight. The
defendant, in reply, said he was not tware the bread was taken
sway without being wi-ighed;. there were Peale. on fhe counter
for that purpose. The circtanstence originated entirely In the
hurry, of business.
'3. The Magistrate observed that he was obliged to weigh the
bread by the Act, and convicted the defehilent in the penalty of
LOs. and 3s. 6d. costs.
• Marscsortoecn-vraxar.—A young 11,(11:11111„ was charged vrith

he found her walking in the streets; and Invited her home,-whicb
she refused ; he then beat her, and she had hint- teltett:te.the
watch-house. When before the Magistrate he brought the-pro-
sent charge, ant a waiter at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwill,

however, refused to prosecute, and the charge was dismissed.
