POLICE.—SATURDAY.
MANSION-HOUSE. Ramo Swoon.— Alderman
Wilda waited upon the Lord Mayor on the subject of
using lotteries, valmeriptions, gad DEW sweeps, the recent
decision of the City magistrates not bluing operated quite
we:tansies', seamy bad orntemplated. The alderman stated
that notwithstandiag the conviction of Hr. Willis before Sir
Peter Laurie sad himself, and the confirmation of that con-
victim at the Leedom sessions, the " eerier " were still car-
ried on, and to ea extent of which his lordship could scarcely
Iwo any kW, the offenders being some of them publicans,
sad some peresos engaged in other bagmen. In his own
ward he hod manifested his determination to prevent the
gumbo by refusing to fumy e license of • person who had
held a " sweep" in his house until he had satisfactory secu-
rity that there would be no repetition of the offence. That
hint had been taken. end the sweep was accordingly put
as end to, and the homes renewed. The publican's
tater had undertaken that no more Derby sweeps or
lotteries should be held in the house. it appeared, however,
that the party who had been conducting that lottery had
removed bis business from the ward of Castle Baynard to •
place at • short distance outside Temple-bar, and bad
printed droulars stating that in consequence of Alderman
Wilson*. continued perseverance to put down all lotteries or
raffia la his ward, Mr. Watts, of the Fleece-tavern, Deo-
toes%commons had relinquished drawing sweeps, and that
B. Appleton had therefore been induced by the number of
applications made by thou who are averse to such interfe-
rences to continue drawing. One of these circulars had been
transmitted to him (Alderman Wilson) from a large manu-
facturing firm, by whom between 700 and 800 men are me-
played. with the following letter :
sir,—We take the liberty dolling your attention to the Mcleod
Sweep edvertimensent. We accidentally dircovcred it in possession of
the party to whom It is addressed a COMMA labourer in our em-
ploy. From what we can discover, It appears that parties in London
see constantly seeding limiter Weider" with a view to deprive poor
ignorant senor of • portion of their earnings ; and we feet particu-
larly glad to hear front this circular of Alderman Wilson's continued
Rersererenee to put down all lotteries and rallies in his ward.
The Lord Mayor said he was ready to adopt any course most
likely to put en end to the practice in the opinion of the City
Solicitor.—Alderman Wilson said he thought it would be
advisable, now that the magistrates in the City had esta-
blished the illegality of the " little goes," to send the ripen
he had received to the Secretary of State, in order that the
Attorney-General might deal with them as might be coed-
dered most expedient. He had received several eireulege
which had been issued from a place in the Strand, called the
Bating-office," at which it was evident the " sweeps" were
carried on in the most open manner, and in direct contempt
of the law. (He here produced several printed bills, detaW
ing the particulars of the lottery transactions he was sew
downing). He thought it meet important that the notice of
the lsw officers of the crown should be drawn to hiss
eta.
blishment, as the magistrates had no power to ie.
With respect to the licensed victuallers of the City 01 Leo-
don, he hoped the aldermen would cause a circular to be
sent to them, giving usurance that in no case in while •
" sweep " was sanctioned should a license be granted.
The magistrates of Middlesex had come to that detention-
tion.—The Lord Mayor said he was obliged by the comma-
elution. made to him by Alderman Wilson on a subject
which bad excited such grave interest throughout the
country. It was extraordinary that atter the deebeose
already come to, and the distinctly avowed opinion of Wee
Attorney-General that " sweepsillegal, there stseohl
be any persons so rash as to 'section practices of the kind
sad he should consult the City Solicitor as to the legal I
propriety of issuing notices of the description alluded to by
Alderman Wilson. As chief magistrate he should consider
himself bound to make every exertion of which he was ea -
noble to present the injurious continuance o' the system.—
Alderman Wilson said it bad been suertained that in many
of these " sweeps," if en individual not belonging to • par-
ticular clique happened to turn up • prize, he was robbed of
it under the pretence that he had a wrong nearer. He
thought that information would be likely to operate with
many, but with thou who were induced to frequent public-
houses upon the expectation of " Derby advantages," nothing
short of serial want was calculated to have any effect.
GUILDHALL Tug CITY VAGRANTS. Another
swarm of wretched creatures were brought up for begging
within the limits of the City of london. Several bad money
found upon them. Most of them were sent for seven days.
It was stated that, in courquence of the mane vagrants
committed during the week in the City, the Comptes', in
Oiltiour etreet, bas been in such a crowded date as to render
necessary the removal of upwards of fifty prisoners to New-
gate, where temporary accommodation has been provided for
them.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Astoritak DtecieAca To TMI
OVAIIINI.—T. Lincoln, a private in the 2nd Matinees of the
Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Ellen
Kirby. The comp'oinent, who exhibited a severe laceration
under one of her eyes, stated that she was returning home at
about 9 o'clock in the evening, and heard a threatening ex-
clamation from some one behind her, and on turning her bead
she saw the prisoner, who had • youngwoman with him, ad-
vancing rapidly in the same direction. Not supposing for •mo
meta that the observation could be directed towards herself,
she proceeded, and was immediately overtaken by the pri-
soner. who placed himself before her in • fighting attitude,
and struck her a terrible blow under the lett eye, which laid
her cheek open, and dashed her against the wall. She
screamed loudly for assistance, which was promptly affor'ed
by • policemen, who happened to be close at hand, and,
with the aid of a gentleman who had witnessed the transom
lion, the prisoner was aseured.—Mr. Foster fully corrobo-
borated the evidence of the complainant.—The prisoner ad-
mitted the assault. He had been previously followed and
jeered at by two or three women, and he was under the low
prudes that the complainant was one of them.—Mr. Arnold
said that had not the prisoner acted under an erroneous sup-
position he should have visited him with the highest amount
of punishment he had the power to impose. He should, how-
ever, reduce the penalty to 60s. In default the prisoner was
committed for six weeks to the House of Correction.
THAMBS.—Botarvotxxcn.-00 Saturday, Mr. Salen-
tine stated that he bad received from W. E. L. the second
part of a 101. sots, in aid of the Poor-
the funds, and that
donor had requested its safe arrival might be acknow.
lodged in the Express, in the same way as the first had
been.
