The Sun. — 1844-06-05 (London, England)

LAW AND POLICE. At the Mansion-house a person of very respectable appearance, named James Egan, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having received a Bank of England note for 1001., knowing the same to have been stolen. A vast deal of interest was excited by this case, the prisoner having, as was reported, been at one time manager and director of the National Bank of Ireland, whose property the stolen note was stated to be, and having been tried in the year 1842, in Dublin, for stealing a parcel of bank-notes, of which the WU note in question ,was one. After a lengthened examination the prisoner was remanded.  At Guildhall, Thomas Hoare, a young man about twenty years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman Humphery, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James Stone, with intent to commit felony. Mr. Alderman Humphery, after hearing evidence on the charge, and ascertaining that only a few pence had been missing, put some questions to the prisoner, who said he had not been near the place that was broken open, and did not know even where it Was. He was a printer by trade, but got his living by playing the accordion in gentlemen's houses, and lodged at No. 5, George-street, Tottenham-court-road. The Alderman determined on punishing him summarily, and committed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond for three months.  Michael John M'Cann was finally examined, at Marylebone, charged with having intermarried with Bridget Thomas, his first wife, Mary M'Cann, being at the time in existence, and fully committed. The long protracted case of the robbery and murder in Ratcliff was brought to a close yesterday before the Magistrate at the Thames Police Court. The prisoners were brought from Clerkenwell in the police van, at eleven o'clock. Their names are Alexander Nicholson, a milkman, in whose house the deceased was robbed of 30/, and ill-used; Richard Bragger; Rosetta Bragger, his wife; Mary Ann Ash, the sister of Rosetta, with whom Nicholson his for some time cohabited ; George Bragger, the brother of Richard ; and John Horsted, a non-registered coal• whipper. At the conclusion of the examination, Mr. Ballantine said he bad made up-his mind to commit Horsted, George Bragger, Rosetta Bragger, and Mary Ann Ash, for wilful murder; and I shall also commit Richard Bragger, Alexander Nicholson, and Mary Ann Ash, for the robbery on Saturday night, the 18th of May. The announcement caused a great sensation among the prisoners, especially those charged with murder.  just reached our shores, is as much the guest of this country as they are, and that we are not only bound to be hospitable to him ourselves, but also to take care that he receives no incivility from others while residing in the dominions of our Sovereign. We are bound to resent any affront to him as if it was committed against ourselves. The Poles would show a very ill sense of any obligation that they may owe to Great Britain, were they in any way to treat with contumely one who is riow trusting himself to British courtesy and British honour. Moreover, they should remember, that any improper conduct on their part would deeply injure them in the opinion. of their friends in England and elsewhere, and might prove, at some future time, most prejudicial to their country. I repeat, that I am convinced that, to the far greater portion of the Polish exiles, this warning is entirely unnecessary.—Believe me, my dear Lord, yours, very truly,
