POLICE INTELLIGENCE.- (TIIIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE LATE ALLEGED CASE OF DRIIGGING. —Edward
Rome, on rem and, was again placed at the bar before the
Lord Mayor, charged on suspicion of having administered
a drug to a female, and with afterwards taking impro-
per liberties with her in a cab.

Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner.
The Lord Mayor said that he had well considered this
case, and finding so many discrepancies in the evidence,
he could scarcely believe there was any truth in the
principal part of the charge. The woman had not been
injured ; but had there been any evidence of the pri-
soner's shaving used a drug, he might have committed
him for trial for intent, &c. Such a charge as this
ought clearly to be made out.
The prosecutrix was asked if she had any further evi-
dence to give, and she replied no.

The Lord Mayor said the complainant and the pri-
soner being both drunk at the time, the cab-
man was entitled to two days' work for his attendance
at the court, and ordered him to be paid. There was
this in favour of the prisoner that he did not make his
escape by one of the numererons courts in the neigh-
bourhood where the complainant was found, but ap-
peared desirous of taking care of her, and having her
taken to her home. Had the female received any injury
he was almost inclined to think it would have served
her right. There was plenty of time from 9 o'clock till
12 o'clock for both of them to get drunk, as he believed
they were. He gave the prisoner the benefit of the
doubt he had in his own mind, and discharged him.
