MANSION-HOUSE.

The new Lori Mayor took the chair precisely at twelve
o'clock, and, after some observations upon the perfect
reliance which he placed upon the able assistance which he
should receive from Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, during
his year of office, said it was his intention to sit every day
at the same hour for the performance of his magisterial
duties is the justice room.
Patrick Daly was charged upon suspicion of having
stolen 401. fa bank-notes, the property of Mrs. Ann Snell
Chauncey, who said-1 am a widow, and reside at No. 8,
Judd-place Rest, New-road. I removed to that residence
on the 19th of September. On that day I put eight 4/.
notes in ajapanned box, in my dressing ease, after count-
ing them. I had received the notes on the previous Friday
at the Bank of England. I employed three persons to re-
move my goods from my old lodging. I never saw the
prisoner before this day.
A gentleman from the inspector's office of the Bank said
the prisoner yesterday presented seven sous at the counter
for change. The, were dated 13th of September, and
nambred 3,377, 3,278, 3,379, sad 3,381 to 3,384 in-
clusive. There was no writing upon them. I told
the prisoner it wu necessary to write his name
on the top of the notes, and as he said he could
not write I told him that I would write for him. He then
gave me the name of James Lee, 20, James-street, Oxford-
street. Upon examination of our card we found that the
notes were stopped, and the prisoner was taken to the se-
cretary's office.
Scott, the detective officer, said : " I went to the NM.
toys dike at the Bank of England at a little before one
o'clock yesterday, and saw the prisoner and the notes pro.
dined. I saw in the book at which I was told to look that
a notice was made of the loss of the setae by M. Chauncey.
I examined the notes produced, and found that they were
seven of the eight which had been stopped. I said where
is the man who brought the notes. The prisoner said he
was the man. I said that I was an officer, that the notes
were stolen notes, and I asked him how he accounted for
the possession of them. He said that he had found them in
the !few-road, but he did not know when, but he after-
wards said about three or four weeks ego, when it was dark.
He then laid the name and address he had given were false.
I asked him why he had given the false name and address,
to which he replied, because he was told to do so. At the
station-house, to which I took him, he said there were eight
notes when he found them, but he had changed one of them
on the night before and given the money to his landlord to
take care of. That I found to be the fact upon inquiry at
his real address, which he gave me.
The prisoner begged to be allowed to speak, and after
having received the necessary caution, said, I got the
notes from my sister, Ellen Daly, who told me shs found
them on a cabstaud. I did not understand them, and I kept
them by me till I went to the bank."
The Lord Mayor—Who is Ellen Daly?
Prisoner—She lived as servant, I believe, to the lady who
has given evidence.
The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner for a week.
D. kcley and E. Goleker were committed each fur one
month for having robbed a lady of her purse containing
silver, on Wednesday.
Tholll4ll IViiiiams was committed for 14 days for hiving
robbed a gentleman of a silver pencil-case in the mob on
Lord Mayor's Day.
GUILDHALL.

About twenty wai•ers, who were engaged to attend
the Lord Mayor's banquet in their official capacity, applied
to Sir Peter Laurie for his assistance and advice under the
following circumstances.
They stated that they were engaged by Mr. Burrell (who
held the contract) of the Bridge-house Hotel, to attend the
banquet at Guildhall on Lord Mayor's
-day, on the under- 1
standing that they were to be paid 6s. each for their ser-
vices • but after performing th..ir very arduous duty, Mr.
Burreli's brother had paid them only 54. each, which they
received in part payment, and on expostulating with him
he told them to summon Mr. Burrell for the balance,
which they were unwilling to do if they could avoid it, as
it would entail an enormous expense upon Mr. Burrell
besides causing them to lose much of their time.
Sir Peter Laurie-110w many are there of you in this

position ?
A Waiter—There are eighty-sit of us in all ; but the pecu-
liar hardship of the case is this. We bad to go up to Mr. Bur-
rell on the day previous to the dinner to be engaged, and
to eases up the day after to be paid, besides 'being in at.
