POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

131;eGtany.—,On Saturday, at the Police-office, two lads
named William Ilewson, and William Garrote, and two girls
named Mary Williams and Agness Carr, were placed before
the magistrates, charged with having rubbed the house of Mr.
Thomas Taylor, of Blackfield Teri ace, Kirkdale. Mrs. Tay-
lot deposed, that about nine o'clock on Thursday night last
she heard a noise upon the stairs, and on going into the lobby,
she saw a boy coming down the stairs with a quantity of
clothes in his arms. She seized hold of him, but he dropped
the clothes, and made his escape from the back door. She
gave an alarm, and her husband and the servant boy pursued
him. Another boy then ran out of the lobby and dropped a
hat which belonged to her husband. The clothes had been
taken from one of the bed rooms, and consisted of four dresses
and two silk handkerchiefs. 'There was also a silver fork.
Three of the dresses belonged to a young lady, Miss Chubb,
and the other was her husband's. Miss Culibb deposed to
being on a visit to Mrs. Taylor, and to three of the dresses
being her's. Mr. Taylor deposed that he pursued the two
lads, and they were both taken into custody. Several wit-
nesses were examined, who deposed to seeing the female pri-
soners receive the silver fork from the two lads as they ran
past. All four prisoners were fully committed for trial. On
the application of Mr. Taylor, two of the dresses were allowed
to be taken out of the custody of the officers before the trial.
PAYING Foe A FREAK.—On Saturday, at the Police-office,
a stout country-looking woman named William's, was placed
before the magistrates on a charge of throwing a man's hat
into the river. A man who had the appearance of an artizan
stated, that on Friday night he was coming over from Birken-
head, and the prisoner was on board the boat and very drunk.
When they were about half way across the river, the prisoner
came behind him, seized his hat, and threw it overboard
The hat cost him 12s. 6d., and he had only worn it a fort-
night. He did not recovered it. Mr. Hall asked him if it was
worth 10s.; he replied that it was, and on the prisoner agree-
ing to pay the sum out of £l. Bs. found on her person, she
was discharged.
lloarsEnv BY A CLERK.—Yesterday, at the Police-office,
a young man named James Bryan, formerly in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Maxwell and Boyd, corn merchants, was
placed before the magistrates on a charge of collecting money
in their name without their authority. Mr. Morley, baker
and flour dealer, London-road, stated that abeut twelve
o'clock, on Wednesday, the prisoner called on him and said
he was collecting money for It. and: . Maxwell, instead of
Jones, and asked him it he could give them £lO on account,
as he wanted it for change, and he (cemplainant) might set-
tle the account on Friday. He (complainant) had paid
Messrs. Maxwell £74 the day before, and owed them a ba-
lance of £l3. He suspected nothing wrong, and gave the
prisoner £lO in silver on account of Messrs. Maxwell, and
took a memorandum of receipt from hiM. Mr. Boyd, of the
firm of Maxwell and Co., said he had discharged the prisoner
on Monday from his service, and therefore. he could have no
authority to collect for them. Mr. Whitty
,said, when he
took the prisoner into custody, he said he knew what he was
wanted for; it was about the £10; that he was "hard-up;" and
got it to pay a debt with, but he would have replaced it next
day. Mr. Boyd said the prisoner had unfortunately got
into bad company through a wan named Robinson,-who
kept a gambling-house. Mr. Whiltv said the prisoner ap-
peared to him to be very likely to fall into bad company,- he
did not appear to be altogether of sound mind. Al r. Boyd
said his uncle would take him away; he was respectably
connected. Mr. Hall said, in all Amite ,cases.„.(4e betlgri-cmp;

sons were brought before him everyday without education,
without friends, and without money, who were tempted to

principle were acted on it would give general dissatisfaction,
and the poor would say there was one law for the rich, and
another.for them. The prisoner must be committed to take
his trial.

STEALING TwiNE.—Yesterday, at the police-office. two
men and a woman, named 'James Harrison, Richd. Lloyd,

SOCIETY FOR RECLAIMING UNitaRTUNATE FENI,A4S..=-L
Yeiterday, at the Police-office; •an old dealer in Lucifer
matches, named Patrick M`Dowlin, was charged before
the Migistrateilwith having severely injured a young girl by
knocking her down with a stick. It appeared from the evi-
gence of a respectable female, who "does mangling," and
who keeps One orthelOules of the Society for Reclaiming
Unfortunate Females, that the prisoner came to her house
on Sunday morning early, and insisted upon 13eing-admitted,
making aloud knocking at her'door, his object being to get
to see one of the girls, who had formerly " kept company"
with him, but who had left him and gone under the protection
of the society: As he would not go away she went down and
opened the-door to ask him what he wanted, when he pushed
past her, "punching her in the bowels with a big stick," and
-was proceeping up stairs to find the girl who had lived with.
him, when one of the .other girls ran out for a policeman.
He immediately ran after her and felled her to the grotind
with his stick, catt intr. her head dreadfully. An officer came
up and found the girl bleeding very profusely from her ,head,
and took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Sorley, one of the
agents of the seciety, stated, that before he:went to the house
of the complainant the prisoner had come to his house and
abused him, telling him " it was very hard to rub him of his
affections," meaning the girl whO had lived with him, and lie
was obliged to order him out of the house. He stated that
the girl who had lived with the prisoner was in court. A'
good-looking girl, neatly dressed, who stated her name lobe
Mary Mozley, here stood up, and said she had formerly
lived with the prisoner eighteen months, but that she wished
toleave him, and he had no business after her. 'Mr. Hall
• said the'prisoner had committed a most outrageous assault,
and he must pay £5, including costs, or be committed for
two months.

EXTRAORDINARY FLlT.—Last week one of the most daring
proofs of fern'tle heroism ever known was witnessed in Chester.
A female named Mary Bellis, in the employ of Messrs Walker,
ascended the Shot 'rower, with two other girls, and no sooner
.did they gain the top than she mounted one of the small chim-
neys, with which the tower is surrounded, and leaped all round
from one to the other. Those who beheld this extraordinary
proof of strong nerve were terrified beyond measure. We
understand that a similar feat was performed by one of the
men employed in the erection of Chester tower, on its com-
pletion, but has never been attempted since, until this fair
Amazon completed the task..
