POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Too CITY POLICE.—A remark-
able scene took place yesterday. A labouring man, named
{Valliant Burke, was put to the bar, and a man, named
Lockwood, the foreman of a gang of men who have been
employed in making repairs on the premises of Messrs. Tegg,
booksellers, in Cheapeide, appeared upon bail to answer the
charge of Burke.—lnspector Waller, of the City police,
stated, that on the 18th of August, the house of Mr. Ledger,
bat manufacturer, of Cheapside, was entered by thieves at
the back of the premises, in Pancras-lane, and robbed of
cash to the amount of 2301. On Thursday night Burke
called, in a state of intoxication, at the station-house, and
after having expressed a desire to see the policeman who had
been near the premises on the night of the robbery, sad
whom the Commissioners had discharged, in consequence of

neglect of duty, declared that Lockwood was the person who
committed the robbery. Burke was detained, to appear
before the magistrate.—Alderman Wilson completely
investigated the case, and found there was not the slight-
est ground for the charge of robbery against Lockwood,
who it appeared had discharged Burke and another of the
men for drunks:mem two days before.—Mr. Ledger felt
it rsecomery to make a serious complaint against the manage-
ment of **City police. On the night of the robbery the hee-
ls= under seders to watch the neighbourhood achully saw
two men,wlto so doubt had just committed the plunder, jump
over the paLags into Pancras-lane, and run down the lane, and
mewed them to escapewithout having made any effort to cheek
ask light. If the policeman had o4y sprung his rattle, the
sismantline been taken. He waa given to understand that
eras paisoom la the district haring been taken 11, his duty
was divided bobtail two others, who thus had to attend to
increment kisaur, and had aresponsibility of a severe nature
placed spew dam white t to have been flied by •

Wilson said that the inhabitants must be aware that he had
no control whatever over the police.
BOW-ST REET.—Erlevard Smith, the keeper of a billiard-
room at No.l, Gower-street, North. was twought before Mr,
Jardine en an information charging him with. Dating 4211 m
weight of foreign manufactured tobacco in his possession
which had not paid duty. Mr. Jardine fined the defendant
161. Ws. 10d. which was cum-fourth of the penalty claimed.
Mr. Smith said be would not pay the penalty, but pto
prison, and remain till domesday. Just before the closing of
the court the money was paid.
CLERKRNWELL.—A CLIEENT Toe JOSEPH Any.—
An elderly woman applied to Mr. Greenwood for pecuniary
:ristance. She stated that she bad been for the last twenty
years rending in Philadelphia, where her husband died.
Having been informed that a relative of her's, to whom she
was the next of kin, died in Bristol, and left considerable
property, she came all the way from Philadelphia to London
to look after it. Upon reaching London abs found that the
solicitor who had the management of the effects of the
deceased lived in Bristol, but her funds being quite ex-
'muted she could not go there, and her application was for
• few shillings to enable her to do so. She applied to the
Lord Mayor, but as she was lodging in Drummond-street,
within the jurisdiction of this court, his lordship referred
her to the magistrate here.— Mr. Greenwood declined
acceding to her application, observing that when she reached
Bristol, she must be regarded as casual poor there. He
would, however, send her to the London agent of the
solicitor to whom she referred, who resided in Bedford-row.
—An officer accordingly conducted her there.
WORSH I P-STREET. —TH B REVOLTINO NVISANCE
AT KINOALS-ND.—Two men, named John Ruffey and
Samuel Wright, carters in the service of Mr. John Gould,
dust contractor, appeared to answer the charge of having
unlawfully and indecently exposed certain portions of human
dead bodies, and also certain coffins, and portions thereof, in
and near a certain highway in the pariah of Shoreditch, on
the sth instant. After various witnesses had deposed to
facts which have already been made public, the defendants,
on being called upon to answer the charge, severally said
that they had been directed by the niece and sister of their
master to proceed, at three o'clock on Saturday morning, to
cart away some rubbish from the vaults of the church
in Friday-street, and in which they were assisted by
the street-keeper, grave-digger, and other persons. They
were not aware of what the rubbish consisted, but after-
wards conveyed it by the foreman's orders, to the field in
which it was discovered.—Mr. Broughton here addressed the
authorities of the City parish. As their names had been
rather freely mentioned in the matter, he considered it but
right that they should be allowed an opportunity for ex-
planation.—Mr. Orueber, who appeared for the church-
wardens, said that the facts of the case were that in
consequence of the accidental sinking of the: vicar's
vault, during the construction of a .new sewer about
eighteen months since, such an intolerable effluvium
had arisen from the displacement of the coffins,
as to cause the greatest annoyance to the parishioners. An
order had therefore been issued by the vestry for the clear-
ance of the vault, which the churchwardens had not only
given strict injunctions to carry out with the utmost decorum
and propriety, but had personally inspected for nearly a
week, and caused every bone that could be discovered to be
re-interred in the vault. They had several witnesses in
attendance to prove that their orders bad been literally
obeyed, and that the :bones which were afterwards
found in the field must necessarily have been brought
from some other place. The most positive directions
had also been given to Mr. Gould, who had been employed
by other parishes on similar occasions, to provide a proper
receptacle for the remains, which he had engaged to do, and
the first intimation the churchwardens had received of his
non-compliance with their directions was conveyed to them
through the public journals.—Both the churchwardens also
addressed the magistrate, seriatim, and strongly urged the
admission of witnessess to the above facts, but Mr. Broughton
declined to receive their evidence, as he had no power to in-
vestigate the first of the transsction,which had occurred
beyond his j fiction.—Mr. Muir, the junior church
warden of St. Matthew, then said that, as a demonstrative
proof that the evidence had been greatly exaggerated, he
held in his hand an extract from the parish register,
which established that only 61 burials had taken place in
that vault since 1809, and as 49 still remained, of which
only one was composed of wood, it was perfectly manifest
that such an immense mass of broken coffins could not have
come from their vaults.—Mr. Broughton expressed himself
of opinion that a most improper course had been adopted in
employing a dust contractor to fulfil such a duty, which
ought to have been performed under the superintendence of
the churchwardens, and with the direct sanction of the
ordinary of the diocese, in a ground selected by themselves.
The whole transaction was a gross outrage on public
decency, and as it was clearly an indictable offence, he
should require the defendants to put in bail to answer the
charge at the sessions, themselves in 301. and two sureties in
2,31., and leave it for the pariah authorities of Shoreditch to
carry out the prosecution.
MARYL E BON E.— M ILITARY GALLANTRY, AND POLICE
Paorreviox.—Yesterday, John Sully, • private in the 2nd
battalion of Coldstream Guards, was charged before Mr.
Rawlinson with an Result upon a young female named Mary
Ann Carter. A communication had been made to the Com-
missioners, with regard to the outrage in question, in con-
sequence of a refusal in the first instance, on the part of the
Inspecting Serjeant of Police on duty to receive the charge,
and hence had arisen the present proceedings against defend-
ant. Complainant, • pretty looking girl, on being sworn
said, "I am servant to Mr. Foster, Hight-street, Oxford,
and have been allowed to come up to London, for a three
weeks' holiday; I am residing while in town with • female
friend at No. 6, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, and
on Sunday night last, as I was walking alone along Oxford-
street, expecting to meet her on her way home from Bays-
water, the soldier laid hold of my shoulder, and insisted
upon my going with Lim to take • glass of ale ; I refused,
when he told me he would make me go, and catching me by
the arm pulled me in • very improper manner; I got away
from him, but he came after me and pulled me back, and
gave me two blows across the neck, which nearly knocked
me down ; by the advice of a gentleman who saw what had
been done to me, 1 gave the soldier into the custody of a
constable, but the Serjeant at the station refused to take the
charge, because the soldier said he had given me a shilling,
which was not the case.—Mr. O'Halloran, Grove-place,
Brompton, and Mr. Guernsey, of Cromer-street, Brunswick-
square, corroborated the last witness's evidence.—Mr. Raw-
litson I look upon this to be an outrage of a most scandal-
ous nature. Yol are fined 405., and if you don't pay that,
you will go to prison. The penalty was shortly afterwards
paid by the Serjeant present, and the defendant was there.

LAMBETH.-oextecs RIVALRY.— e. Wm. Wright,
the feirietor of the " Criterion," Csmberwell omnibus
a to answer a charge preferred against him by John
Williams,—;" the conductor of Bullock's Camberwell omnibus
the " Civility," for foul driving, and wilfully damaging the
latter "'bar," and one of its horses. An attorney's clerk
appeared on behalf of the complainant, and Mr. Newport, a
solicitor, attended for the defendant —There was some hard
swearing in the case, and some considerable differences took
place between the " legal gentlemen," the one having
charged the other with putting " leading questions," and
leading the witnesses. On the part of the complainant it
was shown that. on the evening named in the summons, both
omnibuses were proceeding along Camberwell-green,
when Mr. Wright, on reaching the cab-stand, deliberately
drove acmes before the " Civility," by which both vehicles
came in contact, and one of the horses in the latter was so
severely damaged that., according to the evidence of a vete-
rinary surgeon, his value was reduced from 161. to 21.—0 n
the part of the defendant, the witnesses swore to the con-
trary, and deposed that the complainant was alone to blame,
for that the ' Civility," without the slightest necessity or
cause, drove right into the " Criterion,' and, therefore, its
driver and conductor were solely to blame for what bed hap-
pened.—The evidence of Mr. Newport, the defendant's
attorney, Denied the point. He deposed that he was sitting
alongside thedefendant at the time of the occurrence, and
that Mr. Wright was going at a proper and steady pace, and
was also on his proper side of the road, when the " Civility,"
notwithstanding there was plenty of room to pass on the off-
side' ran right foul of it.—Mr. Elliott upon hearing this
dismissed the summons.

THAMES.—Arraurran nul) IN AN Omxture.—A
respectable-looking man, who gave his name Marla
and his addreis, No. 1, Parnhamplace, Chelsea,
was brought i - under the following circumstances:—Mrs.

np
Anne SSA.— No. 2, Suffolk-place, COmmereial-road, stated,
that about io'clock on the previous evening she got into an
omnibus at Poplar, and the prisoner entered shortly after.
He entered into conversation with her, and amongst other
questions, asked the shortest way to Chelsea on leaving the
omnibus at Knightsbridge. He ultimately asked her for
change of a sovereign, upon which she gave him eight half-
crowns, and he handed her a shilling. She bad spectacles
on at the time, and looked like a person of imperfect vision •
but she at one detected the imposition, and naught him bi
the skirt of tke coat as he was hastily quitting the vehicle.
He handed something back, which she, conceiving to be her
money, accepted, and let him go. Finding, however, thin
he only returned one half-crown, she gave the alarm of
thief," when police-constable 193 K pursued sad
y overtook him. The prisoner, when charged with
1e offence, etrongly denied it. He, however, refused Is
open his left hand, which the constable seized and called der
assistance. Bettina, another constable of the K division bb•
stantly came up, and on th' prisoner's hand being forced
open, seven half-crowns were found in it. There were found
on his person 30 duplicates, of which he rendered no eakffe.
nation; 6d. in silver, and 21d. in coppers ; but no sovereign.
He said he kept a public-house ; and there were found ma
him some pa;•ers having a reference to that business. What
asked by Harris to open his hand, he refused to do so, and
said he was a respectable man.—Mr. Ballantine adjourned
the case until Thursday, and directed the constables in the
meantime to institute the fullest inquiries with respect to the
prisoner.

JOSEPH MAHON.—Sir,—In your Westminster police report
of Sept. 10, you state that the inspector stated, with reference
to the deceased Joseph Mahon, that he believed a policeman
in plain clothes was in search of him for several days, on a
charge of felony, and had he not put a period to his exist-
ence, parties would have been present at the Court to pro-
-1 stunts:. This is an error : for although he had .obbed and
absconded from his family, they never took any steps, or
gave any information likely to cause his apprehension. The
statement, therefore, of there being a charge of felony
against him is incorrect. By contradicting the statement
above-mistimed, you will in some measure alleviate the die-
trem 05-ONI OF XIS FAMILY.
