POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday Sir PETER LAURIE sat for the Lord
Mayor, who is too unwell to venture into the
Justice-room. In the course of the day it was
stated that the Committee of General Purposes in-
tend to take into consideration the propriety of giv-
ing convenience to the public, and of providing a
more decent and wholesome Court for the Chief
Magistrate, and others, who are compelled to attend
him there on public business. One or two members
of the Committee, it was stated, have spoken of the
expense as an insuperable objection. It was re-
marked that, to render the administration of justice
respectable (so far as a suitable place for the pro-
ceedings contributes to respectability) every week-
day during the year, would not, perhaps, cost one-
half the amount paid for a large city dinner, or one
grand day's expenditure in feasting.
George Anderson, a young man, of a grave exte-
rior and smooth address, was charged with having
stolen a large quantity of books, the property of the
Mexican Mining Association.
The Secretary of the Association stated that
they had, from time to tine, missed books from
their offices, and at length set an officer to watch.
The officer stated that, on the evening of the 9th
instant, he stopped the prisoner as he was quitting
the offices of the Association in Broad-street. He
found upon him some volumes of Humboldt's
Travels, and went and searched his lodgings, where
he found a large quantity of the covers of volumes
of Reports belonging to the .Association. The
contents had been taken out, and (as the officer in-
ferred) sold for waste paper. In the prisoner's
possession he also found a considerable number of
duplicates of books pledged. These books were re-
ligious works, with which the Association had no-
thing to do.
The Secretary of the Association identified the
books found in the prisoner's possession ; and stated
that it appeared he had formed some connexion with
the servant-girl who had the care of the premises.
He had been in the habit of visiting her repeatedly,
but she declared that she knew nothing whatever
of his having taken the books.
The prisoner declared that he took the books for
the purpose of reading, and then returning them.
He stated, in answer to further interrogatories from
the Magistrate, that he was out of employment,
that he had been in great distress, and that his
mother, having had no food during two days, they
had made application to their parish officers for re-
lief, but were unable to get any. Neither his nor
her appearance, however, indicated that they had
been subjected to such extreme suffering.
Sir P. LAURIE inquired what the prisoner could
want with the great quantity of religious books, of
which the duplicates were found in his possession ?
The Prisoner--They were for my studies.
Sir P. LAURIE—Your studies ! Pray what are

you studying for ? The prisoner replied that he
was studtoyin:4 to become a missionary, and preach the
Gospel the heithen.
Sir P. LAURIE-But tkat surely has not been your
only avocation ?—The prisoner replied that he had
been apprenticed to an upholsterer.
Sir P. LAuRIE—And disliked working with the
plane, preferring the more easy and flattering trade of
a preacher, eh where did you get education
for that good purpose, if you have had any ?—The
prisoner replied that he had received instruction from
the various worthy Divines to whose discourses he
had given a zealous attention; but he had subse-
quently resided in the Church Missionary College at
Isl ington.

Si'i. P. LAURIE inquired how many other young
men there might be there.—The prisoner replied
that when he wai there there were 35 educating as
Church Missionaries.

Mr. HOBLER observed that young men of a pious
exterior, and (as we understood him to say), as
some thought, of sinister aspect, might be seen walk-
ing about the vicinity. " Young man," said he to
the prisoner, " you would have done much better
had you continued to work honestly as an upholsterer."
Sir P. LAURIE wished to know how it was
that the Church Missionary Society had not given
him relief when he was in the state of distress in
which l►e alleged he had been ? The prisoner—
Some circumstances occurred which occasioned the
connection between us to be dissolved.

Sir P. LAURIE—That is very adroitly and smoothly
answered ; but, pray, what were the circumstances
which occasioned the connection to be dissolved ?
The prisoner replied, that he had formed a connec-
tion with a female which was Uot approved of by
the Society.

Sir P. LAURIE—Was that female the one by
whose means you intruded yourself into the pre-
mises of the Mining Association ? The prisoner
—No; another.

Sir P. LAURIE—Then it seems that, during your
preparatory course, one female would not satisfy
you. Really, it is lamentable to see what an in-
creasing aversion there is now amongst young men.
of your class to honest and beneficial labour. Ido
not know what will be the result of the progress of
this state of things. I have failed to elicit any
thing from you that is satisfactory, and it will be
my duty to commit you to take your trial.
The mother, who was in attendance, besought
that her son might be pardoned, for their sufferings
had been most severe, and she assured the Magis-
trate that he was a young man of pious ways.
Sir PETER LAURIE regretted her sufferings, but
stated that she had herself to blame for it, in not
having kept him to work, in industrious ways, as an
honest journeyman upholsterer. Surely a man who
set himself up as a guide could not claim even the
favour given to the ignorant.
The prisoner, who conducted himself with the
greatest calmness, was then fully committed to
Newgate to take his trial.
