POLICE INTELLIGENCE.  B OW-STREET.  Colin Ross, Esq., a gentleman known on the turf, applied for a warrant against Captain G. Rose, of the 17th Lancers. The applicant alleged that he was on the Epsom Race Course on Thursday, and words occurred between him and the Captain in consequence of some previous transaction. Applicant, deeming himself insulted, asked the Captain for his card, which was refused. He followed him about for some time, observing, " If you are a genman, why refuse to give me your card?" and, as he still refused to give his name or address, he said, " Then, Sir, you are an ungentlemanly fellow." The Captain, on this, struck him several times on the head and face with a loaded whip. [The applicant exhibited a black eye, several cuts on the head, and a wound over the left temple.] Mr. MINSIIULL granted the warrant, and it was placed in the hands of Taunton. Saturday night a young man of dark complexion, who gave his name John Lamb Rudd, was brought to this office by Stevens, the officer, charged, under extremely singular citcumstances, with having robbed his father of bank notes and otherproperty, amounting to about 2601. It will be recollected, that at the inquest on Mr. Paas, at Leicester, it was stated that he had been seen on the road to Loughborough, in company with a young man, and that they had with them a small black trunk. Before the apprehension of Cook, the murderer, was known in London, information was received, that young man, supposed to be that miscreant, had arrived in London by one of the Northern coaches, and had with him a black box. Stevens was sent in pursuit, and succeeded in discovering that a young man, of genteel appearance, having with him a black trunk, and accompanied by a fashionably attired cyprian, had made an excursion to Richmond. The officer did not succeed in securing him, and he returned to town. When it was ascertained that Cook had been apprehended, it occurred that the young man, of whom the officer had been in search, was the same who was seen with Cook, as described ; and under the impression that he might be an accessary after the fact, and was still in possession of a part of the money taken from Mr. Paas, Stevens continued his pursuit. After great exertion, he traced him on Saturday afternoon to a tavern at Woolwich, dining with a dashing female. Stevens called him aside, and told him he was a Bow-street officer, and that he must consider himself a prisoner. He made no resistance, and Stevens, upon searching him, found a 50/. bank note, a 20/. bank post bill, sixty sovereigns, a silver watch, and a great quantity of wearing apparel, silk handkerchiefs and other articles, chiefly new. Stevens also found a Savings' Bank book, in the name of " Henry Rudd, Prescott-street, Liverpool," from which it appeared that 1001. had beers drawn from that Bank within the last few days. He also found a black box. He asked the prisoner if he had any remark to make ? And he said, " I should not have done it if my father had found me in clothes and money sufficient." Stevens, who was at once convinced that the prisoner had nothing to do with the horrible crime of a participation in which he was at first suspected, said, " that was no reason why you should rob your father." To which he replied, "It may be very true, but I did it, and I must take the consequences." He was then brought to London, and admitted, by the way, that during• the few (lays he had been in town, he had spent a considerable sum. Mr. CHOPPING, the solicitor, attended, and said it was quite clear the prisoner could not have been the supposed companion of Cook after the murder, but the circums.ances were still very singular. The prisoner, when asked if he had anything to say, admitted that his father was Mr. Henry Rudd, of No. 3, Prescott-street, Liverpool, Excise Offiaer; but declined saying anything more at present. The new apparel he had purchased himself. Mr. MiNsitum, after some remarks upon the very singular manner in which the robbery was detected, remanded the prisoner for a week.
