Police Intelligence.

a Profitable Business.-Some month or two ago, an
English police officer arrived in this city in search Of
a who charged with absconding from Ireland
with $500 sterling, belonging to the poor house
Of Of the parishes On the officers arrival in this
city of expert police officers was engaged to
ferret out the runaway and after much trouble and
search he discovered in the State Of New Jersey
where he had purchased farm, together with some
stock he paid $4,000 for. When this fact
was ascertained, the New York officer, by an in
genous trick, decoyed the accused to New York
and as he put his foot into this State
he was taken into custody, and detained in the
Tombs. The English officer was supplied with ~
lawyer in order to assist him in recovering the money
thus carried of by the accused When, after several
weeks maneuvcring the Jersey farm sold together
with all the live and dead stock, at auction, which
brought $500, bought again by the original owner -
Thus far good the English officer, congratulating
himself upon realising that amount, which would ena
BILE him to go back with flying colors; now the next
thing the settlement with his legal adviser for his
services, who rendering his BILL amounted to the
of $S45 just $45 than the whole amount re-
covered, bringing the English officer in debt $40 for
legal advice exclusive of all his expenses. On the re-
ceipt of this bill the officer wonderfully surprised,
but. understand he paid the balance and took the
first packet for Liverpool fearing that the learned
counsel might yet send in another account,
