POLICE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
In constquenee of the late accident on the river, the Lord
Mayor Isas wrote a letter to the Contractors for the South-
wark bridge, respecting the continued practice of watermers
con eying so great a number of persons in their boats as to
coital:ger their lives. His Lordship also thought proper to
summon the two waterinen (Barron and Dixon), in whose
host tic tiafortonate persons were wet, to appear before
him, under the Act which makes it a felony for waternien to
carry more than six persons, should death ensue. They
attended on Friday, and were examined, but as they were
brought up more for the purpose of example than punishment,
they were disci: urged. His Lordship stated, that the penal-
ties were, for the first offence in conveying more than eight
persons 51., for the second 101., and for the third disfranchise-
ment, or prohibition to ply tOr 12 calendar months. In the
event of the loss eta life, resulting trout such transgression,
seven years' transportation. lie gave orders that the Act
should be printed, and immediately sent to all waterinen.
With respect to the two prisoners he had learned that they
were not negligent, and that their conduct had been without
reproach ; that the workmen had crowded into the boat
against their ineLm.tion, and left them no alternative but that
of ahandoning it to unskilful hands, which might have roe-
dered the passengers liable to the same fate, or joining in
the 'writ.
Samnlay .1. Charchill, was charged with stealing a box from the
cart of Mr. Wooltlird, of Illackwall, containing brass and copper of
a considerable value, the property of Messrs. Laing and Anderson.
The box it , appeared had. just arrived from Birmingham. and was
conveying to the a...rehouse of the prosecutors, when the cart haviag
stopped on its way in Geaccehureh.strect, the prisoner seized the
IYA and endeavoured to escape; he was, however. overtaken with his
le-d and secured. He was Cully committed for trial. '

A distreuing scene occurred Saturday at this office. four young
funales not than twelve years of age each, were brought before.

unfortunate young girls said, that they had been sent out upon the
town by weir parents under an in 'unction, that they should bring
',tunic each a shilling daily, in of which they were severely
beaten. The Magistrate aw, ing Iscstowed some strung aninotdver-
iuns uuon th- conduct of their relatives, ordered the poor eteisturcas

UNION-HALL.
114170aT %MT TO BUILDF.IO4.--Saturday a Mr. Craye pretested
an infoiniation against a Mr. Wright, for improperly building a
house of the seventh rate in Lacks-fields. The complaii ant. who is
a surveyor, having received intimation of the proceedings of the de-
tenilant, went to the house in question, which he found was building
411 a rroad instead of a srrentle rate ; that for the latter the Act spe-
eiticil that th.: walls should be a brick and a half thick, whereas, in .
the present instance, they were but nine; incite:. Ile accordingly
warned the defendant, taut the latter persisted in erecting the budd-
ing, and Mr. Nleyinot, another surveyor, was called in to declare his
opinion and advice. but all to no purpose.
Mr. Wright. said the building was intended for two houFei.
Mr. Crays., in reply, said, that even the party wall in that case was
but Milt( inch cs thiA, whereas it ought to be Mit-teem and a half.
The Magistrates, after a full consideration of the case, decided that
the building was a nuisance. and ordered the defendant to enter Into
reco,..,enizanees for thol. teriptill it down within. Po Move days.
Another house belonging to the defendant was also. condemned
• under similar circumstances.
