TATTERSALL'S.

The betting was extremely flat till after four o'clock,
when it became brisk and interesting. It was clear that
the Mummer was not in force, and it was only good ma-
nagement that kept him at 11 to 1. That there is a screw
loose no one can doubt ; but it is impossible to speak to
the extent of the mischief. Mouse was also out of favour;
Cressida, although at 7 to 1, was not backed ; and Bruns-
wicker was not in much demand:; in fact, the change in
the weather seems to have had an effect as sudden as it is
palbable. Lord Exeter's two were backed freely ; Red
Rover had the call at the commencement, money being
given for choice of him against the other in even beta
between them. Towards the close, however, Mahmoud
gained ground, and left off two points better than his
companion. The latter was in general request for the
Riddlesworth. Brine, at 30 to 1, had plenty of friends,
and sprung several points. The betting closed as follows:

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSI.

Mr. Dixon, an extensive builder, some time ago peti-
tioned the Court of Alderman for a licence, empowering
him to employ 70 non-freerr.en as labourers, there being a
great difficulty in procuring freemen, on account of the
increasing trade of the city. He obtained the license be-
fore the accustomed notices were expired, the Court being
aware of the existing difficulty, and also knowing the in-
convenience likely to arise from any delay.
The non-freemen were engaged ; and as there has
prevailed for a long time a warfare between the privileged
and the unprivileged of the city of London in matters of
labour, the usual appearances began to manifest themselves.
In this case the unprivileged formed by far the most nu-
merous party, there being no more than three freemen
amongst the men employed by Mr. Dixon, and prepara-
tions were made at once for the purpose of getting rid of
the privileged. To quarrel openly, would not answer the
end proposed, so an ingenious fellow advised that a quan-
tity of lime should be well mixed up with hot water, and
as the three freemen were descending a ladder, a confede-
rate at the top threw down upon them the contents of the
tub. If they had been unfortunate enough to glance up-
wards, they would, it is believed, have positively lost
their eyes. As it was, they received the white-wash all
over their clothes, and not knowing what sort of dose
they might be served with if they remained longer to try
the humanity of their fellow-workmen, they determined
to punish the persons who appeared to be most active on
the occasion.

The Loan Maxoe. ordered four of the non-freemen,
who were brought before him, to find bail for the assault,
which he declared to be most gross and unmanly.
Yesterday Mr. Nobler, jun., appeared for the com-
plainants against the foreman of Mr. Dixon, whom they
summoned for having refused to give them work. He stated
that his clients had, after the other men were bound over
to appear at the sessions, applied in a very civil and re-
spectful manner to Mr. Dixon for employment, that gen-
tleman hiving given employment to the 70 non-freemen
alluded to above, and having plenty of work for them.—
The most positive refusal was, however, giveu to them,
and they were turned out of the premises.
The Loan Mayon. said he had reason to believe that
the licence to employ the non-freemen had not been ob-
tained by a very accurate representation of facts. He
believed that a few more freemen ►night have been obtained
than were engaged, and he thought the Court of Alder-
men had not been dealt candidly with on the occasion.—
The conduct of Mr. Dixon, in refusing employment to
those three ill-treated men, aggravated the case, and showed
that the non-freemen had been encouraged to the outrage
which had been committed.
The foreman said his,master would have no objection to
employ other freemen, but with those three he would have
