POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Tun Were Mousier Boasuaisv.—A tall fine-looking nun, who
gave his name Seined Csetetwit. was brought up, charged on suspi-
cion of being we of the gang by whom the house of the Rev. Mr.
Wurlnters, at West Mestere, was broken into and robbed in
November last. The particulars of this singular and daring rob-
bery have been described in our columns more than ogee, and it
may be recollected that one of the gang, at the dose they entered
the house, was distinctly beard to pronounce the name of Fanny
(the name of one of the female servants) twice. The constable who
apprehended the prisoner now stated that, from hitormatien he
had received, be bad every reason to believe he was the man who
called out the girl's name, and he expected on a future day to pro-
duce evidence to substantiate that fact.
Mr. I. Isaacs, who has attended from the commencement for
the prosecution. said be had for a bog time been in posses** of
information that the prisoner was concerned in the robbery, and
the offerers had been searching for him, but were unable to find
him until Sunday, when Buckle, an active constable. apprehended
him at a public-house in Golden-lane.
Mr. Kura asked Mr. Isaacs when the other men is custody
were to be examined. and was answered In a day or two, and the
Magistrate gave directions that the prisoner should be remanded,
and brought up at the same time with the ether men.
The primer said that be could prove his innocence.
Mr. fLat.r.s—l sincerely hope you may be able to do so, but it
is my duty to detain you at present.
Prisnoer—Very well; but it is a most infamous proceeding—it
is quite shocking.
The prisoner, who was said to be very well known to the pollee.
was then removed from the bar.
Saturday evening four men named Edward Piekerises, Mss Pick-
ering, Geo. Pickering, and Was, Modal% four ill-looking fellows,
and intoxicated, were charged with having assaulted Mr. Shep-
herdson, the proprietor of the Three Tuns public-house, Belton-
street, Long-acre, and endangered his life. Mr. Shepherdson was
unable to attend, in consequence of the violence used towards him.
It appeared that about six o'clock in the evening, as Susan
Slade, a young woman, who lives as waitress at Harry's dining
rooms, in Drury-lane, was going into the Constitution public-house
for soisLusorter, she was stopped at the door by the prisoners,
who her about in a very rough and indecent manner.—
She, ever, escaped from them, and proceeded to the bar for
her porter, with which she was about to leave the house, when
she was again seised by the prisoners, who repeated their ill-usage
of her. The girl then flung the porter over them. and they were
about to add brutality to their annoyance, whets Mr. Skepherdson,
who was in the house at the time, rushed out to her assistance,
and was instantly knocked down by the defendants, who not only
kicked him about the head, but even jumped upon his body until
he became insensible. A Mr. Richardson. and two other persons,
attempted to rescue the unfortunate man, but their efforts were in
man, as the prisoner, Edward Pickering, took out a clasp-knife,
and threatened In rip up any man who should interfere, and had
not a party of patrol arrived from this office, murder would in all
probability have ensued. It was not without a desperate resist-
ance that the prisoners were secured. They are all well-known
characters, and Jabes has just returned from transportadon.
The prisoners, in a very violent manner, declared that they did
not intend to injure the girl. Jibes said that he was quite a re-
formed man since he returned from New South Wales. He had
been ill-treated in Use affray, and bad lost his watch, his mosey,
and his hat.
Mr. Hama said he should detain them until Mr. Shepherd's*
was out of danger.
WORSHINSTREET.

Sr. Loxa's Paarau.—Yesterday morning, pursuant to appoint-
ment, Mr. Swoon:ow took his seat on the Bench, and in a few
minutes after the Court was crowded to suffocation, with parish-
Aiken, tax gatherers, and nch of the inhabitants as were sum-
moned foe their rates.
The state of distress which appears to pervade almost every
part of this parish, is truly appalling; nor does any trade or
calling in life appear to ban escaped from their proportion of the
general shock.
Mrs. Stevens, who resides in Hill-street, and who said her bus.
band could not attend, and that they had only occupied the house
for one quarter, was summoned for taxes.
It appeared, however, from the Collector. that she had been
there three quarters of a year, and had kept a brothel. After a
long examination by the Magistrate, she admitted that she had
been visited by a few female friends. but the times were so bad
that their visits have not been so frequent. She then got seven
days to pay the taxes.
UNION—HALL.

Mr. Brooks, a respectable tradesman, residing in Bermondsey,
was charged with baying assaulted some watchmen.
It appeared that on Saturday evening, the watchmen who
charged Mr. Brooks with the assault were observed dragging a
young man, who was intoxicated, to the watchhouse, and as they
treated him with great harshness Mr. Brooks interfered, and the
watchmen then charged him with assaulting them, and locked him
up till be found bail. The night constable wbo received the charge
was so drunk that be was almost unable to enter the charge, and
upon reference to the charge•book. it appeared from the writing
that he was often in that state, and had compromised cases instead
of bringing them before the Magistrate.
Mr. Brooks was immediately discharged, and the Magistrate
directed a representation to be made to the Commissioners by
whom the night•constable was appointed, that he was totally unable
to bold his situation.
