POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
A poor sailor yesterday came before the pitting Magistrate, Mr
14tassnutt, to ask for the assistance of an ulcer to recover some
priiperty which had been stolen from him. He stated that be ar-
rived at Charing-cross on the previous evening. by the stage, from
Sheerness, and employed a porter-like man to wry his box for
him to the Savoy pcblic-boose, where be was well paid for his
trouble, besides being plied with plenty of grog. This fellow,
however, during his temporary absence. contrived to possess, him-
self of the box and walk of with k. The box contained tOl.worth
of clothes. 20 sovereigns, sod some documents wble he consi-
dered of still greater value, as he would be ruined unless he could
recover them.
Mr. himanuu. said it was a cruel case.
Applicant—You may say that, Sir; it is creel for a poor fellow
to lose the hard earnings of three years. I have but just been paid
if from the Preventive Service,, after having been on board a
man-of-war the prindpal part of my life. and this is the reception
I met with isle instant, as I may say, I came wham
Ale. bintsnou. said it was a bad reception; means of re-
'covering the property shorld be used. The l4gistzsee then
directed the officer to take the mattes in band. The sailer seemed
very thankful.
Michael Barry was fully committed on a charge of bigamy to
take his trial.
M A RLI3OROUG H-ST REST.
A ,paor man, whose appearance bespoke the greatest distress,
came to the office yesterday, and banded a letter to Mr. Dyer, and
begged the worthy magistrate to grant him souse assistance.
hlr. Dees, on looking at the letter, asked the poor man if be
was the person mentioned in the letter. Upon replying in the
affirmative, Mr. Dyer desired him to state the nature of hie
complaint.
The poor.man accordingly informed Mr. Dyer that where he was
lodging be was indebted a few shillings' rent to his landlord,
who, a few days since, went with his wife and family to Ire-
land, to receive some property. Nine days after they left
London a broker came in and demanded the rent. Being out
at the time the broker refused to let his wife come to him,
but instantly made a seizure; and, although he owed but a few
shillings, the broker took every thing which he possessed in
the world. He certainly left what might be termed an apology
for an inventory, and by which be left, he stated in it, a bedstead
and bed. ilia wife and children were left destitute of every Wog,
and, coming to the knowledge °this oeigithciers,ene hemanely lent
him a chair, another a table, and, between several of them, some
bedding was sent in for use until be could recover hi. own. A
prr.oo also sent some linen to be washed. The seventh day from
the first seizure bad not elapsed when the same broker came in
again, and took every thing which had been lent to him, as well as
the wet linen which his wife had to wash. On coming home,
being intormed of the cruel transaction, be went to the broker, and
stated that the few articles of furniture did not belong to him. The
broker then informed him that if he would pay a certain sum of
money he could have the goods returned. With corsiderabk dif
ficulty.he raised the sum named by the broker. and took it. and left
it at his house, he not being at home at the time ; since then he has
not been able either to get hack the money or the goods. By this
cruel conduct of the broker his family were plunged its greater die-
tress than in the first instance, for he bad not only lost what little
property he possessed, but that which the humanity of his neigh-
hours bad ,ent in for their use.
Mr. Drag expressed his regret that, under the present law re-
lating to brokers, a Magistrate in such cases as the present bad no
power to interfere ; aU he could do was, if the money which he
had paid or the valuation came within, the sum by which a Court
of Requests could take cognisance of it, to summon him ; if above
that sum, his ~nly remedy was by adieu.
The poor man stated that it was impossible for bins logo to law,
for he could not get any thing for his family. He thought a Ma-
gistrate could assist him, and it was under that Impression that he
came to the office. The poor matt then left the office.
Complaints are repeatedly made to the Magistrates by distressed
persons, who, under colour of law, are robbed of all they possess,
and that without remedy. The act under which they are appointed,
like many others, enacts that if a broker do such and such things
he shall be punished ; but It says not a word bow that puisbnsent
is to be inflicted, or by whom, or to what extent; thus, in fact, pro-
viding no remedy at all.
LA M BETH-STREET.
Awes froadwerd was charged with robbing his ready-furnished
lodgings, under circumstances of peculiar aggravation. It appeared
that the prisoner's landlady. from motives of humanity, bad not
only repeatedly forgiven hint his rent, but he had also been several
times supplied :by her with clothes and food. These kindnesses
he returned by plundering *choose of a variety of property during
his landlady's theapentsyg**. is ended.

The atrocious plan of infusing stupifying drugs into
liquor, for the purpose of robbery, was practised with great success
at Horneastle Fair, upon a poor countryman, who was robbed of
SOL whilst in a state of stupefaction, produced by laudanum, ad-
ministered to him by two fellows.
