POLICE►

Boer-smear.—Yesterday Humphries, the Officer,
brought up a well-dressed &male, under the title of
Lady Bruce, upon a charge of committing a felony.
—lt appeared by the evidence of two young men
of the House of Harding and Co. late Dyde and
Scribe, in Pall-mall, that last Friday a muff and some
fur trimming,were ordered to be sent to Lady Bruce
at her house, Upper George-street, Mary-la-Bonne,
a muff of the value of 81. and fur-trimming of the
value of 71. were sent accordingly in one box, which,
on its arrival at the house, a servant took up stairs.
'ln a short time afterwards the servant returned
with the box with the muff in it, saying her lady-
ship did not like the muff, but would keep the trim-
ming and desired that a fur tippet might be sent the
next day. The maa who was sent with the box was
desired not to leave the goods without the money ;
the message, however, being a plausible one he went
away. The next day he tippet was sent, with an in
junction that the possession of it was not to be parted
with without the money, which not being forthcom-
ing, nor the Lady being visible, the tippet was not
parted with, and the money for the trimming or the
trimming itself was demanded, but neither could be
obtained. A young man of the house of Hardings
went again, and desired to see her Ladyship • he was
informed she '
was out ; he insisted upon it that she
was not out, and he would wait in the house till he
did see her; after some time the prisoner presented
herself as Lady Bruce, and he repeated his demand
for the money for the trimming, when the prisonev
informed him that it was impossible he could have
the trimming again, as it was cut up, and put or
a pelisse, and it was not in her power to pay then,
but she would pay in a few days. This was not agreed
to by the young man, who proposed taking the trim-
ming again, although it was cut up and on a pelisse,
but her ladyship refused to let him have it. The
ground of a felonious charge upon which Mes.rs.
Hardings brought her to the office was, her taking
the trimming out of the box without their consent.
She had said she was recommended by the Arundel
family, who upon inquiry denied that they knew
any such person. Messrs. Hardings also denied that
the prisoner was the person she represented herself
to be.—A Gentleman who attended to defend the pri-
soner insisted that the prisoner was the person she
represented herself to be, and that her name was
Lady Stewart Bruce. He also contended that the
transaction was a simple debt, and that her Ladyship
would pay it in ten days.—The young men from
Messrs. Hardings' still persisted that the prisoner
teas not Lady BruCe.—The Magistrase asked if her
Ladyship had been charged with stealing the trim-
ming when the muff was returned ? and being an-
swered in the negative, be dismissed the charge, it
being only a debt.
Stephen Morris, Joseph Braid, James Dennis, and
Emma Owen, underwent their first public examination,
charged with being concerned in robbing the house
of William Clulow, Esq. of No. 4, Camden-street,
Camden-town, and stealing plate and other property
to a considerable amount. Joseph Braid was a foot-
man in the family ; Emma Owen the cook ; James
Dennis, uncle to Joseph Braid ; and Stephen Morris
was a watchman, employed by Mr. Clulow, and
twelve others in the neighbourhood, to protect their
houses and property; he was also much respected by
them, and frequently great trust reposed in him. He
was likewise employed at the Pottery.at Battle-bridge.
We stated the particulars of this robbery in our Paper
of Monday. The prisoners were all remanded for
another examination, when it is hoped Mrs. Clulow
will be sufficiently recovered from her indisposition
to attend.

Michael Levi, who is in custody on a charge of
receiving the plate, knowing it to have been stolen,
was placed at the Bar, but no evidence being. gone.
ant?.l he was again remanded.
liotprox-GARDEN--J. a hoy, wac fined 20s.
for letting off squibs in the street, and in default of

UNION-HALL.—Ye%terday G.Peakes, a baker, near

SuanwEtr...—:Yesterday W. Atkins and W. Foss?
were remanded, on suspicion of robbing the house of
Mr. Smith, in Grosvenor-square, of a large quantity
of notes, gold and silver coin, plate, Ace. Atkins had
been employed as a carpenter in the repair of the
house, but was discharged by his master. lie came,
however, the nest day, as usual, and it not being
known he had been discharged, he was suffered to go
up stairs. He did not imp long, but went away in a
hurry ; and soon after the drawers in the dining-
room were found robbed. He was discovered on
board a ship in the River, just about 145 sail to Ame-
rica, and in his chest and boxes a considerable quan-
tity of money and plate were found. Fossey, the
landlord of the house in which Atkins had lodged,
was also taken, because a quantity of money was
found on him.

Robert Dean, the wretched lunatic, who on Tues-
-day last was committed to the gaol in Horsemonger-
lane for the murder of the child Mary Halbert, has
been ever since his commitment entirely absorbed irr
meditation. He requested that a Bible and Prayer-
book, which were found at his lodgings, and had
been taken possession of by May, the Officer, might
be given to him; the books were delivered, and he
has incessantly employed himself in the perusal of
them. He weeps very much, and speaks in terms
of great affection of the child which was sacrificed by
his hand. The following circumstance relative to
[this unfortunate man has not yet been made known
to the public :.--When he had committed the atroci-
ous crime for which he stands committed, he walked
about until ten o'clock at night, and then crossed the
water and entered a public-house in Weaminster.—
On the following day he enlisted in the 50th regiment,
passed the surgeon the same day, and was to.have
been sworn in on the morning that he surrendered.
It was noticed by the soldier with whom he enlisted,
that he appeared at times greatly confused, and would
start suddenly, as if labou?ing under, some nervous
disorder, but he could not elicit from him the cause
of his melancholy. On Sunday Dean wrote a letter,
at the public-house to Mr. Halbert,
.the father of tae'
deceased, acknowledging that he was the Murderer,
and also his sorrow for what he liad.done. The let-1
ter was received on Monday by Mr. Ilaltiert, aad is
now in his possession. • • i
