POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A naval officer, named Oliver Smith, was brought
before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having as-
saulted a constable for having acted with much kind-
ness to him.

The constable,- on the preceding night, saw the
defendant going through the city in a state of intoxi-
cation, and as he had the appearance of a Irian who
might have property about him, the witness thought
that he could not go far without being eased of it if
allowed to have his own way. A coach was ac-
cordingly called, and the Captain requested to take a
seat home in it ; but, instead of entering, he turned
upon the witness, kicked the skin off his shins, bit
his finger severely, and was most dangerously " ob-
stropuloas." The witness, however, with assist-
ance, contrived to lodge him in the watch-house,
where for some time he waged war against the walls
of the strong room, with the usual effect. The wit-
ness was obliged to get both leg and finger plastered.
He had, he declared, acted with the greatest civility
and kindness all the time.

The defendant—All thii may be right true, for
ought I know, my Lord Mayor; I believe I did re-
sent the proposal of the officer to go with me in a
coach. The fact is, I had been following the good
jolly old practice of keeping up Christmas like a
good Christian, and I might have had a little too
much on board.

The LORD MAYOR—I think the good old custom
of getting beastly drunk might be dispensed with ;
and it appears to me an odd sort of Christianity to
beat the peace-officers.—(A laugh.)
The defendant—My Lord, I have served my
country in eight distinguished battles, and at Al-
giers I received a severe wound over the bead, so
that when 1 take a drop too much I cut all disci-
pline. Sailors will be sailors, and, as a sailor, I
think I am entitled to a little indulgence.
The LORD MAYOR—Magistrates will be Magis-
trates, and I must refuse you the little indulgence
you require of breaking the bones of peace-officers.
Distinguished actions abroad form no excuse for
those who at home distinguish themselves by kick-
ing and biting.
_ .

'tile defendant—lf a bottle of wine or so will
settle the matter with the constable, I will give it
him.

Mr. Hobler—No, iao, wine will not do. There
has been too much wine in this case already. It
must be hard cash.

The constable said, that in consideration of the
defendant's wounds, he was disposed to put up with
some of the wounds which in this instance he (the
constable) had received, also, in the service of his
country, in preserving its peace, which was a service
often of as much hazard, but always of much less
honour and profit. A Common Councilman, who
had seen the defendant after the assault had been
committed, recommended him to special care, as he
had property about him.
The defendant.—Well, well, I will put a salve
upon these wounds. I wish to retire and talk with
the officer.

To this proposition the LORD MAYOR readily as-
sented, and the most agreeable remedy was immedi-
ately applied to the peace officer's wounds.
