POLICE.

ItTearstoar-Houst.—The boy, to whosk case we re-
ferred yesterday, was brought up again this day for
final examination. Mr. Ltas, the Bank Inspector, at-
tended to prove that the notes were forgeries ; and a
tavern-keener, also to prove that the boy had given
them to him, in payment for some ref, eshment, -and
had demanded change for them. The proof of his
'guilt being thus established, his Lordship asked him,
whether he was still obstinately bent upon conceal-
ire, the names of those who had employed him,to
circulate these forgeries? he replied, that he was;
and that no. consideration should induce him to.
squeak a word. His Lordship, therefore, committed
him for trial. A decent perzon then came forward,
who said that the name of Watson, which the boy
had represented himself to bear, was a fictitious
name ; his right name was Denison : his grandfather
and father were both respectable tradesmen, and had
kept a cutler's shop in Smithfield for the 'last fifty
years. Unfortunately, the father had died, just after
the boy haU returned from a boarding-school, in a
state of insolvency ; and he was, therefore, obliged to
'carry cakes about the streets, to obtain a livelihood.''
It was in that occupation that he had cot connected
with the gang whose names he was so penile', boucle
dieermined to coeceal.—The LORD MAYOR obsery ed,ll
that it was indeed a lamentable case ; lie had kept
him a fortnight in his custody, in hopes that he'
(Denison) would assist him in furthering tI4 ends of
justice. He had had every lenity consistent with
justice :hewn him ; and his present fate vial more of
his own (the boy's) seeking, than of his (the Lord
Mayor's) inflicting.
GutLDII A L RG ED NOTE,—.• Ye qerdav Leah
Aldridge, an unfortunate young woman, was brought
before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman 13114 CH,
charged with uttering a forged 4:1 Bank of England
note. &thane' Pinder, milliner, 26, Long-lane, West
Smithfield, stated, that the prisoner came into his
shop abort half an hour after nine o'clock on Wed
uesday evening, just as he was shutting up the shut-
ters, under pretence of purchasing some article : she
'coked about, as if undecided what she should ask
for ; examined a muslin frill, which she said did not
please her ; at last she agreed for a cap, at 3s. 6d. and
tendered a Cl note in payment. Not liking its ap-.,
pearaesce, he desired her name and address, which
die gave " Miss Aldridge, No. 6,e, Bride-I:me his
I with wrote it on the back of the note. He had not
,change sufficient, and not being able to procure 1. in
the ncighbouthood at that laze hour, he offered as
I walk with her to her lodgings for die money ; to this
she readily agreed. In their walk she ()tiered to treat
him with seine beer, and they went into a peblic-
housefor that purpose ; but the landlord could no:
change the note. On their arrival in Bride-lane, he
learnt that the prisoner had lived there about six
months ago, and that she was a girl on the town.
Under these circumstances, suspeating the note to be
a forgery, he gave her in custody.—Mr. Pinder iden-
tified the note, which Mr. LIES, the Bank Inspector,
de:larit to be a forgery in all its parts: it was num-
bered 17,137, and da:ed August 13, ISIS. On ;le
prisoner's being a ,ked if she wished to give an 3C-
:vont how she became possessed of the note, she
steed her unfortunate situation, and said she re-
, ccired it from a Gentleman. She did not know it
was ford, and gave her address in 13: ide-lane be-
muss she had no lodgings at present. and expected,
as de woman of the house knew her, she would lend
her 6e money to pay for the.cap..--Mr. RooKen, who
attended as Solicitor on the behalf of the &telt,
preyed very much for the prisoner to be remanded,
to give time for further inquiry respect' ier, al-i
thregh he acknOwledged she was not s eawn as a :
common utterer, and that no other nom re found ;
upon her. The Magistrate, however, re el the ap- ,
plication ; he considered this by no r..t a strong
care, thonght the girl's story extremely pihoable, aid'
coild perceive no good effect likely to result from
her d'tention ; she was therefore delivered to the care
of a respectable looking elderly woman, her aunt,
who engaged to send her home to her father, and I
wlu, she said, was almost broken-hearted at her con-
du t; he had been in town fror. Walthamstow to
seat her, and returned home only so lately as Wed-
neday ast.
A HINT TO Y( UFO GENTLEMENr--40ha
a 'ashionably dressed young man, describing himself
a a Clerk in St. Mary-Axe, was charged by Harrell,
awatchman. in Aldersgate-street. , with violently as-
suiting him in the execution of his duty. The watch-
nan said. he saw the prisoner about half an hour
,ast 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, knockiao at
hveral doors in Maidenhead-court, and on his desir-
mg him to desist he abused him grossly, and knocked
him down, as well as another personswho attempted to
stop him. The prisoner, however, was at length se-
cured, and taken to the watch-house ; there he beat
the ceustable of the night and the houseman, the lat-
ter of whom he knocked down, stamped upon him,
and injured him so much that he was confined to his
bed, and consequently unable to attend and give his
testimony. The prisoner had nothing .to urge in de-'
fence of his conduct, but that he was intoxicated, and
aid not know what he was about. The Magistrate
observed, that this was a case he could by no means'
pass over, without some punishment which might fix
in the prisoner's memory the recollection of his mis-
conduct, and suggested the propriety of his giving
two guineas to the Charity-school of the Ward in
which this outrage had been committed. The pri-
soner replied, the sum was more than he could afford,
especially as he had already given tome money to-the
watchman. The Alderman replied, he should take
no cognizance of that ; it was his opinion, that no
money should be given to officers in such cases, with-
out the advice 'and permission of the Magistrate.
The ptiblic peace had been broken, and, if the pri-
soner rejected his suggestion, he should send the case
to the Sessions. The prisoner preferred adopting the
hint of the Worthy Alderman, and having lodged
L'2 2s. in the hands of Leadbeater, the Marshalrean,
for that purpose? he was discharged.
MeRLBOROUOWSTREET —ROBBERY OF MARSHAL
ARRESFORD BY HIS ISRIVANTr—YeSteTday, Domingo
Rolreiin, a foreigner, was charged by Marshal,Beres-
ford with robbing him of valuable articles of propeity,
and Bank-notes—lt appeared from his Lordship s
statement, that the prisoner has been his valet fo:
nearly a dozen years, and possessed his confidence in
a great degree. He had attended him on the Penin-
sula, and or. his return to klngland he renewed his
services. From the facility which Itched at all times

to his dressing-tenet, tie. it Was easy for him to ht v?
taken trilling articles withont exciting any
degree of suspicion; but it appears, that he b.-L;
emboldened by ilk success in petty acts of thicve.-...
made at once a' transition from it eta
more.extensive kind, and even took Inc. at s
times out of the Marshal's pockets. his Lordsk
having at last missed various sums in this :ititnnt4
put some maned notes and money in his pol Le.-5.
snd left the clothes in the prisoner's way ; but syb..A
he examined there again, part of the morr.y was gore.
He then sent for T. Foy, the oircor, who took -I e
.prisoner into custody. His Lordsllip expressed !is
unwillingness to prnsecute the prisoner, and thus ti..c
case ended.
