POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Ain Kean was re-examined on a charge of having obtained goods
under false pretences from various persona. The prisoner had been
remanded, that further evidence might be adduced upon the charges
already stated, but no such evideoce was tendered. Mr. Edwards.
a woollen draper, in liegent-street, stated that in 1827 he supplied
some cloth to the prisoner while he was carrying on bodiless as a
tailor in Rathbone-place, in payment for which he obtained three
bills of exchange, and not one of them proved worth a farthing.
Brand, the officer, was then questioned respecting the three bilk
which were found oil the prisoner's person, and Brand said he felt
convinced there was no such person as David Dickinson, of Hor-
ton, whose name was used as the acceptor of the bills. They were
made payable at Messrs. Young's, in Smithfield, but that house
knew neither the acceptor nor drawer of the bills. The prisoner
contended that there was such a man as David Dickinson in exis-
tence, and that he lived at Falcon, by Boston. His attorney also
produced a letter which he had received that morning by post from
David Dickinson, from Boston, and he said he had two persons
then In Court to prove that David Dickinson was alive.—The pri-
soner was again remanded.
The driver of the hackney coach, No. 1035. was charged with
ill-treating his horses, in Newgate-street, at 12 o'clock on Siturday.
One of the Officers of the Society for preventing Crueky to
Animals, stated that be flogged los horses severely through the
street, although they were galloping at the time, and the toot par
*enters were so alarmed that they fled into the shops for shelter.—
There was some person sitting on the box with the defendant.
The coachman said, he was hired :o carry some servants from
Piccadilly to the Bull and Mouth Inn, and he was told that unless
he performed the distance in 25 minutes they would Min the stage;
he, therefore, did his best with his horses, " put 'em along, but
nothing out of the way."
The coachman's mistress said he was an excellent servant ; be
had been employed by her three years, and never brought his horses
home with a mark upon them.
Mr. Alderman ANSLRY said be would give him the benefit of this
good character, and also of his honesty, in not having answered the
charge with a tissue of falsehoods, and be would fine him only Ss.
instead of 51. His conduct in whipping his horses, while they were
already going at a dangerous pace. could not be overlooked. He
was glad to find the Society's people at work again, as he knew they
did a great deal of good when they exerted themselves before.
The defendant immediately paid the fine and costs.
