POLICE, &e.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Charles Walker, a coach-
trimmer, was charged by William Reid, a lad about
14 years of age, with picking his pocket of his watch.
The prosecutor stated, that as he was coming through
Smithfield, four or five persons hustled him, and the'
prisoner ran off with his watch. He was positive as
to his person, as he never had him out of his sight
until he was stopped by the watchman. The evidence
of the lad was given in the most distinct manner;
but the watch not being found in the prisoner's pos-
session, and several persons appearing to his charac•
ter, Alderman GOODBEUERE ordered him to be dis-
missed.

A woman of the town was charged by William
Saunders, with robbing him of I Is. in Fleet-market;
but, though the money was found on her, and though
the man was but little in liquor, the Aldermln
dered her to be dismissed, and the money restored to
the prosecutor.
Edward, was charged by Thomas Lawrence,
a hackney-man, with taking away his coach from a
poblic-house at Newington. while he was drinking
with some people whom he had carried to Edmono- n
fair. The prisoner, and a watchman on the Kings-
land-road, stated, that the coach was coming along
without any driver, and that the prisoner was order-
ed by the watchman to take charge of the coach.—
The coachman wished much to be remunerated for
his lass of t me and trouble, but the Alderman dis-
missed the charge.
• WHITECDAPEL.--Yesterday ffnry olf, alias
Brown, was committed, charged with defrauding
Mrs. Williams, haberdasher, in Mile End-road, by
obtaining six pair of stockings, saying he lived in the
neighbourhood, and if she sent her servant with him
he would pay for them, which was complied with,
but he gave the servant the Ail), and pledged the
stockings in Bishopsgate-street.
Mary Campion was likewise fully committed,
char] d with stealing three watch-chains from the
'shop of Mr. Marshall, in Cannon-street.
Several Italian, Portuguese, and American saihrs,
and some Irish labourers, were charged with making
a riot in Nightingale-lane on Sunday ; three of the
foreigners were held to bail, and :,otne of the labourers
were sent on board the Tender ; the less culpable
were discharged with an admonition.
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday a man named William
Thompson Scarrow, was brought before the Sitting
Magistrate, Mr. READ, charged on suspicion of hav-
ing burgiariously entered the dwelling-house of Tho-
mas Hardwicke, lisq. No. 55, Berner-street, Oxford-
road, and stealing therein sundry articles of plate and
wearing-apparel.
From the statement of Mr. Hardwicke, it appear.
ed, that he had, with his family, been some time re-
siding in the country during the repair of his house.
He left two servant women in care of the premises,
and on his return to town, last Thursday morning, he
discovered that the window of his front parlour had
been forced open, and that his plate closet, some
chests of drawers, and a bureau, had been broken,
and. their contents gone.
The servants, who slept in the attick-storey, did not
discover the burglary until five o'clock the same
morning, when one of them came down stairs, and
found some matches, an old hat, .and other things
strewed about, and that a new hat that was hung up
over-night was gone. Elizabeth Williams, one of
the women, said, she believed the hat belonged to the
prisoner, a journeyman painter employed by Mr.
Cobbet, of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, and who
had worked in the house for several days before the
robbery ; it appeared that he had drank tea with the
servants, and had made minute enquiries about the
situation of the wine-cellar, chests of drawers, and
other things in the house. These circumstances,
combined with his absence from his work since the
robbery, and his never having applied to his master
for any wages since: the event, led to a• suspicion that
he was concerned in thezobbery, and he was in con-
sequence taken into custody. His father was also
taken up on suspicion-of being an =wiz. 120_: ing
been seen in the house, without any NUMMI the two days before the robbery ; but as there were no I

The prisoner aide& the tail of the robbery, and
urged that it wiir unjust to detain him without any
proof against him.

o‘ti such strong grntindi, that- he remanded him for
,further examination.
