POLICE, &e.

Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, nrnitli, one'
of the conductors of the Bow-street Patrole, being
on duty at Camden T3wn, received information that
a gentleman had been stopped about an hour before,
by a single footpad, near the old Work-house, on the
Hampstead-road, N%ho presented a pistol, and robbed
him of 16s. Smith, with two of his men, imme-
sliately went in search of the robber ; and, in a field
adjoining the road, where the gentleman had been
stopped, they saw a man whom they took into cus-
tody, and found upon him a loaded pistol, three dol-
lars, and one shilling, and some papers by which it
appeared that he was an out-pensioner of Greenwich
Hospital. On his examination at Bow-street, he re-
fused to account for having been at so late an hour in
such a place, with a loaded pistol, or for the money
found in his pocket. lie was committed for further
examination. _ _

Yesterday James Aran?fie, the person above allueed
to, was brought up for re-examination, when Mr.
Baxter, the Gentleman robbed, attended, and stated,
that on Thursday night last, about eleven o'clock, as
be was returning to town, on foot, he was stopped
near the Old Workhouse, on the Hampstead Road,
by a man, whom, he had no doubt, was the prisoner
at the bar, who, presenting a pistol, demanded his
money, andtook from him three dollars and a shilling.
Smith produced three dollars and a shilling, which
he found on the prisoner, when searched, at the pub-
lic house, immediately after his apprehension.
Mr. Baxter said, he believed the shilling from a
mark it had upon it, to be the same he was robbed of.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, the money was
his own, and that he had found the loaded pistol on
the road. He was fully committed for trial.

It has been for some time suspected, by the Agents
of the Stamp Office, that insurance at Little-Goes,
or private lotteries, has been carrying on to a consi-
derable extent, and in consequence they employed
some persons to find them out, and one was at length
discovered behind the office of Mr. Hodges, the
lottery office keeper, in Pall Mall ; the man employ-
ed gained admittance, and insured numbers there se-
veral times, for the purpose of learning their whole
proceedings. His information was at length taken
by the Solicitor of the Stamp Office, and upon which
Mr. READ issued his warrant on Friday evening.—
About ten o'clock, Lavender and Taunton, with a
large party of the patrole, went to execute it. They
were conducted to a door at the side of Mr. Hodges's
house, in a passage leading to Warwick-street. They
knocked at the door, and Lavender and Taunton '
were admitted without much difficulty, but the party
of patrole had some difficulty in following them, as
the door-keeper soon discovered what was the mat-
ter, and gave an alarm to those assembled in a large
back room, where the clerks were taking insurance
and others making insurances, to the number of about
fifty. On the officers entering the room, a scene of
the greatest possible confusion ensue A, the men were
employed in putting out the candles and endeavouring
to make their escape, while women were screaming
and fighting the officers. It was with the greatest
difficulty the officers prevented all the candles from
being put out. Some persons entered while the offi-
cers were in the room, for the purpose of enquiring if
their. numbers were drawn ? these the officers took
into custody with the others, and conveyed them to
thirwatch-house. The clerks and porters were con-
veyed to the Brown Bear, Bow-street, where they re-
inained till Saturday morning, when the whole of
them were brought to the Office for examination, and,
with the exception of three clerks, and a few respec-
table women, the whole groupe made the most extra-
ordinary appearance that ever was beheld ; Faistes
description of his ragged regiment falls far short of
them. This motley groupe of dupes were, after as-
certaining their names and descriptions, discharged,
by desire of the Solicitor to the Stamp Office.
Mr. GURNEY, who attended fOr the prosecution,
agreed to postpone going into the case against the July 9. Michael Davenport, of Sheffield, Yorkshire, cutler, at
