POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A gentleman, who did not state what his name was,
Accompanied by his son, suddenly appeared before the
Loan MAvon to complain of what he considered to be a
very gross breach of the law. He said that, as his son
was riding at a very easy pace round Finsbury-circus, an
officer, named Peter Kelly, went up to him, and com-
pelling him to alight, deliberately drove off the horse to
the green-yard, where he (the officer) gave it into safe
custody, until certain charges should be paid. 'Why an
officer or any other person should presume to take such a
liberty as to seize a horse under such circumstances he did
not know, and he came before the Lord Mayor in the hope
to obtain his Lordship's interference for the immediate res-
titution of the lime, and a security to the public against
any future annoyance of the kind, in his Lordship's re-
proof of the officer.
Kelly, who did not hesitate to attend at the moment to
answer the charge, stated that the horse-dealers, of whom
there were numbers daily in the neighbourhood, were in
the habit, whenever they thought they could do it with
impunity, of exhibiting their horses--a practice which was
known to be most dangerous, as there were multitude of
children always in the way. He had been expressly di-
rected to seize any horse he saw exhibited ; and, as the
dealers cared very little what mischief they might commit,
so that they succeeded in procuring a sale, he had deter-
mined to lodge as many horses as he should see offending
in the green-yard.
The LORD MAYOR asked the office: whether he really
believed the horse was in the Circus for show ?—Kelly
said he had no doubt of it. He had seen another person
on the same horse in the early part of the day, but he Lad
no opportunity of seizing it.
The Loan MAYOR told the complainant that he could
not order the horse out of the green-yard, nor could he
think of reproaching the officer for the strict performance
of such a duty.
Complainant—Do you say, my Lord, that a man can-
not walk his horse round the Circus without subjecting
himself to a penalty ? The Loan MAYOR—I say that if
you think yourself injured, you have your redress against
she officer in a court of justice.
Complainant—Yes, that would do very well if the man
was worth powder and shot, but he is not. If I proceed,
therefore, no redress can be had.

The LORD MAYOR—Those who employ him will sup-
port him, you may depend upon it, in obeying their di-
rections.

The horse is thus still to remain in pound. It might
be right to state, that Finsbury is completely infested by
dealers in horse-flesh, and that, as the officer hinted, seve-
ral accidents have arisen from the negligence of those
persons.
