POLICE INTELLIGENCE.  BO W-STREET.  Yesterday 'William Young, the man upon whose evidence three men, named Kite, King, and Wheatley, were convicted at the last Kingston Assizes, for a robbery at the Teddington Lock-house, was brought before Sir R. TharriE, charged with having broken into the dwellinghouse of Mr. John Parker, at Ham Common, Surrey. Mr. Parker deposed that he was steward to the Duke of Ruccleuch, and that he lived at Ham Common. On the night of the 6th, or morning of the 7th of December last, his house was broken into, and some plate, linen, two saws, and other property, were stolen. The saw now produced was one of the saws stolen, although the private mark upon it was nearly defaced. The witness produced other articles found at the prisoner's house, as part of the property of which he had been robbed.  Henry Stedwell, a carpenter, proved that the saw now produced had been purchased by him from the prisoner on the 14th of December last. He believed that the marks upon the saw were intended to deface other marks.  Joseph Marlow, a labouring man, deposed that his wife's sister had lived with Kite, one of the men who had been convicted at Kingston, and that he (the witness) had been present when Kite, King, and the prisoner divided the booty taken from the house of Mr. Parker. The saw fell to the prisoner's share. Wheatley was not a party in that robbery. The witness added, that the prisoner wanted him to join him in the job on Ham Common, and also at Mr. Carr's, but he refused.  Mr. Thomas Bishop deposed, that he is a shopkeeper, residing at Hanworth. About 18 months ago his house had been broken into and robbed of upwards of 601. worth of goods, chiefly in new and second-hand clothes. The top coat now worn by the prisoner, witness believed to be one of the articles stolen from him.  Sir R. BIRNIE directed the prisoner to take off the coat, which he did accordingly. Mr. Bishop, however, was unable to identify it ; but added, that the person from whom he had purchased it would be able to do so.  Fisher, the constable, here produced a lot of old clothes found at the prisoner's residence. Amongst the articles discovered there, were some aprons which had been stolen from the house of Mr. Carr; and also a bloody handkerchief. Sir IL BIRNIE asked if the blood upon the handkerchief appeared to be fresh. Fisher replied it was not. Sir R. BIRNIE directed the constable to take care of the handkerchief, as it would most likely be required on a still more serious charge against the prisoner. Mr. Bishop identified most of the articles produced, as the same which he had lost.  The prisoner was then remanded to a future day, and witnesses were ordered to be summoned.  The prisoner received a conditional pardon, on condition of his appearing as a witness against the three men who are now awaiting their sentence in Horsemonger-lane prison. Since the conviction of his accomplices, information was received implicating the prisoner and one of the convicts (King) as principals in a murder committed near Hounslow some time ago. It will be remembered that a body was discovered in a pond in that neighbourhood some time ago, under circumstances which left little doubt that the deceased had met with his death by violence. Before this information could be acted upon, the prisoner was taken into custody upon the present charge.
