POLICE INTELLIGENCE:

GUILDHALL
. _
We Heiden, or /dm, and George Jones, were charged with a
burglary, in entering the premises of Messrs. Haigh and Co. 12,
Bucklersbury. It appeared that on Saturday night, a •wolnan,who
has charge of the house, going to see if all was right, fasted the door
fast within, and heard persons whispering. She called the Ward
constable, and with his assistance secured the front door. The
thieves attempted to get out at the back, but unluckily for them,
they alighted, in an attempt to reach the ground, on a projecting
skylight, and the noise of the broken glass informed the officer what
they were about. The officer immediately went round to Batt's
eating-house, which afforded the only mode of egress, and found the
prisoners crouching under the window. Their hands were very
much cut, and bleeding. Various instruments of house-breaking
were found, on examination of the premises, and from the circum-
stance of the outer doors being secured by patent latches, it was
supposed that the thieves had contrived to secrete themselves on the
premises before the clerks and warehousemen left..—They were
fully committed for trial.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Mary ransom was charged by John Josef, a shoetnalter, of
Waterloo-road, with robbing hint of 7s. He was passing through
the Five Fields, Chelsea, and met the prisoner and another girl,
when, after a few moment's parley, the former picketrhis pocket,
of the above sum. On his cross-examination, however, by the pri-

wner, he admitted that he owed her a balance of that amount on a
previous occasion ; which fact induced the Magistrate to indignantly
dismiss the cue.

MARY. LA-BONNE.

Amur Meier and Etisobeth Bailey, were charged by Mary Anne
Cameron, with stealing a writing-4ra, containing £250 in notes,
and twelve or fourteen sovereigns. -
Mrs. Cameron stated, that she left the desk in safety in a locked
room, at half past nine on Saturday night, and the two prisoners,
her servants in the house, and that when she returned at twelve
o'clock, the room was open and the desk away. She did not know
the numbers of the notes, except one was for ACSOb and indorsed by
her late husband. Some other papers that were in the desk were
found next morning in the area.
The girls said they knew nothing of the disappearance of the
detk. They added, that during their mistress's absence, Mr.
Welsh, her brother-in.law, called; that he sent one of them tor
rum and gin; and after giving them some of it, one of them accom-
panied him home for the purpose of carrying the remainder. She
saw her mistress at Mr. Welsh's, who gave her leave to go out for
an boar or two, bat having work at home, she did not use the per-
mission given her.
Mrs. Cameron and Mr. Welsh corroborated this statement, and
the latter said his suspicions rested on a young man who left the'
house lately, and who had been heard to say, he would like to take
Mrs. C.'s desk along with him.
Magistrate—Why charge the girls then, when you have strong
suspicions of some one else? Where is the young man to be found ?
Mr. Welab—l don't know that.

Cameron having been robbed to the amount stated, but there was
no ground of suspicion whatever against the females at the bar, who
were accordingly discharged.
