POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

ROBBERY OF BONE DUST AND GREASE.—On Wednes-
day, five men, Jones, Munyon, Blakely, Chambers and
Hindley, were charged at the police-court with having
stolen three casks of grease and a quantity of bcne dust
from the yard in Great Oxford-street occupied by Mr.
Briddon, manufacturing chemist, Bootle, on the previous
Monday. They had taken the bone dust to a marine
store, and sold it for 16s. The whole of the prisoners
afterwards went to a public-house, and spoke of dividing
the booty. About four tons of bones had been taken
from the yard, andftve cwt. of fat. The latter was after-
wards found in the open street, where it had, no doubt,
been placed in order to be carried away. The prisoners
were remanded for a few days, in order that the evidence
against them might be completed.
CHARGE AGAINST A SHERIFF'S OFFICER:OH Tues-
day at the Police court, Mr. Wm. Bennett, ironfounder,
preferred a charge against John Rowley, a Sheriff's
officer, for haying entered his house in Shaw-street, and
there created a disturbance to the great alarm of his fa-
mily, while he was himself absent. It appeared that the
prisoner had an execution warrant against one John
Francis Bennett, another person ; that he went to exe-
cute it at Mr. Wm. Bennett; was in a state of intoxica-
tion, and refused to leave the house when Mr. Bennett,
on his return, requested him to do so. Mr. B. had him
taken into custody. The prisoner said he had made a
' mistake and was sorry for it. Mr. Rushton said his con-
duct was scandalous. Mr. Bennett's only remedy was by
civil action. He should take care that the prisoner should
not again be employed as an officer;; but all he could do
in the matter now was to fine him 3s. for being drunk.

RODERY AND ASSAULT.—On. Tuesday an old man,
named Lahy, preferred a charge, at the police-court,
against-three /nen and a woman, named Dodd, Thomp-
son., Cornthwaite, and Jackson, of having assaulted him,
and robbed him of £67. The complainant, who was much
distressed, said he was a farmer in the county of Galway,
and after disposing of his property, in order to emigrate,
had arrived here on the previous Saturday. He spent
Sunday and Monday with some acquaintances at West
Derby, and on the evening of the latter day came into
town, and met Jackson and another woman, named Kirk,
at a public-house. On afterwards going up Hatton-
garden, the three male prisoners darted out of a gateway,
and assaulted him, knocking him down several times.
The female assisted them. They then snatched the bag
from him containing his money, and ran off, but he fol-
lowed them, and saw them enter a brothel in Peter-
street. Information was given to the police, and the
prisoners were apprehended shortly after in Dodd's house
in Peter-street. The woman Kirk ran out of the house,
and after being pursued a short distance, dropped down
dead in the street. None of the money was found, except
3s. 6d., picked up on the foot-walk where the robbery
was committed. The prisoners were remanded.
COMMITTAL OF A GANG OF THLEVES.—James Burns,
George Stanley, Robert Hanley, and George Smith, ap-
parently four members of the swell mob, were charged at
the Police-court, under the following circumstances :
One of the prisoners, about eleven o'clock on Tuesday
morning last, entered the Stag Vaults, in Mill-street,
Toxteth-park, kept by Mrs. Margaret Kerr, and, having
called for a glass of spirits, tendered a sovereign in pay-
ment. He received the change, and afterwards wrote
a letter in the back parlour. He was shortly joined by
two more of the prisoners ; and, during the temporary
absence of the complainant from the bar, they managed,
by reaching over the counter, to get possession of a bag
containing £9 in gold, and another bag containing £7 lOs
in silver, with which they hastily decamped. Three of
the prisoners were apprehended. One of them effected
his escape, but was subsequently taken into custody. An
officer in the main bridewell stated that' on the fourth
prisoner he found £7 lOs in gold, and £7 in silver.
While in the bridewell, the prisoner asked for something
to drink. He took them a can of water, and he saw each
of them drink. When they handed him back the can, he
perceived there was a sovereign at the bottom of it. The
prisoners refused to give any address, or any account of
themselves. They were committed for trial at the ses,
sions,
