POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE.—Nov.II.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday the new Lord
Mayor (Alderman Rose) attended the justice room
for the first time in that capacity. On taking his
seat on the bench he referred to the dignity which
his predecessor had given to the office of chief ma-
gistrate during the two years of his mayoralty, and
which, he said, he was desirous to maintain as far
as in him lay. With that view he kindly bespoke
the aid of Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, and Mr.
Oke, the assistant clerk, founded on legal know-
ledge and experience in the administration of justice.
Wm. Lang, 28, a well-dressed man, described as
a commission agent, and who had refused his ad-
dress, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged
with conspiring, with others not in custody, in ob
taining from Messrs. Humpherys and Co., of Wood-
street, Cheapside, goods of the value of nearly £230,
with intent to defraud them.

The examination was conducted by Mr. Turner, a
solicitor.

On Friday last, when the prisoner was first
brought before the Court, it was proved that a few
weeks ago the prosecutor sold a quantity of goods to
a man named Berger, at a month's "payment." On
Saturday week Berger gave them, in payment, a
check for £228 on the London and County Bank,
which had since been dishonoured, he himself being
a bankrupt. About five o'clock in the afternoon of
the same day, the prisoner hired a cab, driven by
William Webb (badge 13,421), at the corner of
Bow-lane and Watling-street, and by his direction
two very large boxes, brought from a neighbouring
shop or house, were put upon it. The prisoner then
entered the cab and was driven, at his request, to
the Dover Railway Terminus, at London-bridge.
There the boxes were left, and the prisoner re-en-
tered the cab and was driven back to the coiner of
Bow-lane. A large number of paper parcels were
there hastily crammed into it by the prisoner, as-
sisted by a porter. He again got into the cab, and
was driven first to Fish-street-hill, and then to a
house in Scarborough-street, Tenter-ground, at
which the parcels were delivered, and the prisoner
discharged the cab.
William Jarvis, a detective police-constable, said
he afterwards went with Webb, the cab-driver, to
the house in question in Scarborough-street, in
search of the prisoner. They were told he was not
there, but witness afterwards found him locked in
a parlour. On being asked if his name was Berger
he repliLd in the negative. He was then accused
of removing property from Bow-lane, which had
been obtained by fraud. He pleaded ignorance of
the matter, but on being confronted with the cab-
man he said the property he had brought there was
banded over to Berger the same night. On being
asked if he knew where Berger was to be found he
said he did not. He was then given into custody.
The prisoner refused his address, and witness had
since learned that the goods which had been re-
moved by Webb belonged to Berger.
The prisoner, in reply to the Lord Mayor, still
declined to give his address, and on that evidence
he had been remanded, with the option of giving
bail in the meantime,—himself in £2OO and two
sureties in £lOO each.

Yesterday, as the result of a consultation between
Mr. Turner, solicitor for the prosecution, and Mr.
Lewis for the defence, the prisoner was discharged, in
order, it was said, to his being admitted to give
evidence in the case, but with an intimation that
otherwise ho might still have to answer the charge.
Mr. Pollaky, who in the case of Hugo Dullens,
partly heard here on Saturday, stated that the pri-
soner had defrauded Messrs. Patek, Philippe, and
Co., of Geneva, of goods to a large amount, desired
to explain that he inadvertently gave the wrong
name, and that Messrs. Lecontre and Sublet, musi-
cal instrument makers at Croix, Switzerland, are
the firm whom the prisoner had so defrauded.

CLERKENWELL.—WiIIiam Harrington, a
grocer and postmaster, residing at Hadley, Middle-
sex, was charged before Mr. Barker with causing
the death of William Hammond, aged 72, on the
4th of November, in the Holloway-road, Islington.
Mr. L. Lewis, jun,, of Ely-place, attended for the
prisoner.
The prisoner in this case was brought to this
court on Friday last and fined ss. for being drunk,
and incapable of driving his horse and chaise. it
was then stated that he had on the previous even-
ing knocked down an elderly man, who was then
suffering from concussion of the brain and unable
to attend the court.
Edward Robins said he resided in the Holloway-
road. He saw the deceased crossing the road at
the time that an omnibus was passing. He got
clear of that vehicle, but the chaise which the pri-
soner was driving came in contact with him and
knocked him down. The horse went over him,
and when he assisted in picking up the unfortunate
man he found him insensible. The wheels had not
touched him. The prisoner was driving at the
rate of about eight miles an hour. Both the pri-
soner and the man who was with him in the cart
were drunk. He drove the man who was in the
cart home, because he said that he was so nervous
he could not drive. That person was Mr. Foster,
of the Iron Duke public-house, Weston-place,
Somers-town,
Police-sergeant Daniels, 38 S, said that he-saw
the prisoner on the night of the accident at the
Highgate Police-station. That was some distance
from the spot at which the accident happened.
He saw that the prisoner was the worse for drink,
and he charged him on the sheet with being drunk
and incapable. An inquest had been held on the
body of the man the prisoner knocked down, and a
verdict of manslaughter was returned against him.
He apprehended the prisoner on the coroner's war-.
rant ou Monday night.
Mr. Barker said it was a case which would have
to go to the sessions upon the coroner's warrant.
The prisoner would be remanded for the completion
of the depositions.

The magistrate consented to take bail, two re-
sponsible sureties in the turn of £5O each, and the
prisoner in £lOO.
Patrick Cochran, well-known to the police, was
charged with stealing from John Percy the sum of
£2 10s. at Islington.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor
had been drinking rather freely. On Monday he
was seen in a publichouse by the prisoner to change
some money. A short time afterwards the prisoner
caught hold of him, pinned him against the wall,
and, thrusting his hands into the prosecutor's poc-
ket, stole .1;2 10s. in gold. With this he ran off, and
would have made his escape had it not been for
Police-serg. It. White, 14 N, who saw him running,
knew that he was a thief, and stopped him. Two
sovereigns were found by the police.
The police stated that he had twice before been
convicted of felony and robbing from the person.
Mr. Barker fully committed him to the sessions.
Patrick *Donald and Michael Connor,labourers,
were charged with being drunk and disorderly.
M‘Dontild was further charged with assaulting
Police-constable George Ranger, 199 61,
Staples, 42 0, and Win. Peet, 415 A, in the execu-
tion tion of their duty. Robotr.

The police tolled them to desist and go Alvah but

they would not, and said they would show them
how they had fought for the Pope. M'Donald at
once began kicking the constables, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that he could be got to the
station. The other prisoner endeavoured to incite
the mob to rescue his companion, saying that he
was a Pope's man, and that it was a great shame
that he should be locked up.
Mr. Barker fined M'Donald 205., or, in default,
21 days' imprisonment, with hard labour; and Con-
nor he fined 10s., or, in default, 10 days' imprison-
ment.

The prisoners were locked up in default.

SOUTHWARK.—Stephen Tupsell, a conductor
belonging to the Society for the Protection of Life
from Fire, was brought before Mr. Combo charged
with being drunk and assaulting Barnett Harrison,
a hawker; also with stealing his cloth cap, value
3s. 6d.

The prosecutor, a Jew, said that about 9 o'clock
that morning he was standing opposite a teashop
selling his goods, when the prisoner cline up to him
and said, " Are you here again, you b- Jew ?
Whom are you for, Garibaldi or the Pope ?" The
witness said he was for neither, and begged of him
not to interfere in his business. The prisoner im-
mediately struck him in the face, knocked his cap
off, and threw it afterwards among the mob who
had assembled. He was so severely ill-treated that
he was compelled to take refuge in the teashop, but
a constable came up, and he gave the prisoner, who
was drunk, into custody.
George Holmes, a salesman in the Borough-mar-
ket, said he was present, and confirmed the state-
ment of the previous witness.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said that
the prosecutor was a nightly nuisance to him at his
stand by St. George's Church. He merely want up
to the Jew for a lark.

Mr. Combe observed that fire•escapes were ex-
tremely useful if under the charge of sober
and efficient hands, but if they were under the
authority of such persons as the prisoner they
would be entirely useless and liable to bring dis-
credit on that excellent institution, the Royal
Society for the Protection of Life from Fire.
He should order a communication to be made to
the secretary respeo;ing the conduct of the pri-
soner, who he considered was not fit to hold the
situation of conductor or to have for the future
charge of a fire-escape. At the same time he should
flue him 205., with the alternative of 14 days' im-
prisonment.
A young woman, named Ann Bennett, aged 28,
wss charged with attempting to commit suicide by
taking laudanum.
Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said he had been
made acquainted with the circumstance by a chemist,
into whose shop she went and asked for a penny-
worth of laudanum to allay the pain of her tooth.
The chemist, perceiving something strange in her
manner, mixed her a harmless liquid, which dhe
seized with avidity and drank, saying, " Now I have
done for it, as I have taken a larger quantity of
laudanum before this." The chemist called in a con-
stable, and as she appeared very ill he recommended
him to convey her to Guy's Hospital immediately.
Police-constable 125 M said that he conveyed the
prisoner, who soon sunk into an insensible state, to
Guy's Hospital, where the stomach-pump was used
and a quantity of laudanum ejected. As soon as
the prisoner had sufficiently recovered she told him
that she had taken three-pennyworth of laudanum
before she went into the chemist's shop in the Dover-
road. She also said that her father had turned her
out of doors and refused to assist her.

The Magistrate told the prisoner that it was for-
tunate for her that the chemist in the Dover-road
had acted with such caution, as he had evidently
saved her life. She did not appear to understand
her critical position, therefore he should remand her
until Monday next. In the meantime she would
have the advice of the chaplain at Horsemonger-
lane Gaol.

LAMBETH.—Mr. James Budget, the proprietor
of the vitriol works adjoining the New Kennington
Park, formerly the property of Mr. Farmer, ap-
peared to answer to a summons, taken out against
him by the direction of Sir George Grey, the Home
Secretary, charging him with having upon his pre-
mises, and unlawfully using in his trade, a furnace
not constructed so as to consume or burn its own
smoke.

From the evidence adduced it appeared that in the
month of December last year the defendant had
been convicted in a penalty of £5 for a similar
offence. The nuisance continuing after this, Mr.
Sanderson, the Government inspector, visited the
premises in June last, and finding that some of the
furnaces used were in the same state as before, a
caution was given, and the time required was
allowed to comply with the terms of the Act. Dense
black smoke continued to issue from the tall chimney
shaft, and on the 6th of October Mr. Sanderson paid
a further visit to the premises, when he found that
the required alterations had not been made.
Mr. Sanderson deposed to the defective state in
which he found some of the furnaces, and said that
in one place, the plumbers' department, there was
a stove in a room from which there was no shaft to
carry away the smoke.
Police-constable 408 P read, from the notes he had
taken at the time, the dates and the length of time
the dense black smoke had been seen to issue from
the tall shaft or chimney. In his cross-examination
by the defendant, the witness said that the dense
black smoke frequently beat from the top of the
shaft to the ground, and spread suffocating fumes
over the whole neighbourhood.
The defendant, in reply to the evidence, assured
the magistrate that, regardless of expense, every-
thing had been done to remedy the evil complained
of. He had heard quite enough to satisfy his own
mind that until he adopted a certain patent, in
which Mr. Sanderson was interested, or removed
his manufactory altogether, he should be subjected
to his present prosecution.
Mr„ Sanderson denied that he had any interest
whatever in any patent in use for the consumption
of smoke.

Tue defendant here called George Jacket, the
keeper of Kennington-park, to prove that for the
last five or six months he had not observed a greater
quantity of smoke proceeding from the shaft of the
factory than was usual before that time. When
asked about the state of the smoke at the time men-
tioned by the officers, he was unable to give any
information.

Mr. Frazer, the foreman of the works, was also
called, and spoke of some improvements being
made with respect to some of the furnaces. He said
that the fireplace complained of by Mr. Sanderson
as having no shaft to carry away the smoke was
one which was very seldom used, and that only for
melting some lead.
Mr. Elliott remarked that it appeared to him as
if the provisions of the act were set at defiance, and
the observations made by the defendant of a public
and respectable officer were most improper, and
perfectly unjustifiable. He convicted Mr. Budget
in a penalty of £lO.

WANDSWORTH.—Thomas Smith, a labourer,
was charged before Mr. Dayman with attempting
to commit suicide by cutting his throat.
On Saturday night, Oct. 25, police-constable N. o.
248, V division, was called to a house in Christ-
church-grove, Tooting, where he found the prisoner
lying on his back, with his throat cut, and insen-
sible. A surgeon, who dressed the wound, picked
up a razor in the room, the blade of which was
covered with blood. The prisoner afterwards told
the constable that he had not done what he had in-
tended, as be could not get the razor to cut. He
also said that he thought he would have another
opportunity.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he
was drunk, and was not aware of what he had done.

Mr. Dayman said the prisoner wonld be commit
ted for trial.

HAMMERSMITH.—Mary Ann Tilman, a
young woman, who was described as a servant,
living in Dean-street, Soho, was charged before
Mr. Dayman with attempting to drown herself in
the Grand Junction Canal at Kensal-green.
The prisoner was taken out of the water by po-
lice constable No. 172 D about one o'clock on Mon-
day morning and removed to the workhouse. She
afterwards told the constable that it was her inten-
tion to destroy herself.
The prisoner wore a veil over her face. On being
asked whether she had anything to say she shook
her head.

Mr. Mayman expressed his intention of sending
her for trial.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

An exciting contest for the prizes of the 3d company of

•
he Queen's (Westminster) Rifles took place at the butts,

Wormwood Scrubby, on Monday. The weather during the
day was very unfavourable, but, notwithstanding this draw-
back, the company was well represented, and the shooting,
especially that of private Dinham and Sergeant Oxley, was

very good. The first competition was for a prize value eight
guineas, and a London Armoury Company's rifle, the gift
of Capt. Bushby. The ranges were 200, 500, and 600 yards.
There were 10 competitors, and at the close the first prize
was decided in favour of private Dinham, who made the
splendid score of 46 marks, and the second prize in favour
of private Booty, 31 marks. The second contest was for the
subscription prizes, &c., consisting of one of five guineas,
one of three guineas, two field-glasses, and a canteen. The
ranges were 200, 400, and 500 yards, five shots each. The
following are the scores :—Sergeant Oxley, 42 marks; pri-
vate Falwasser, 39 marks ; private Artis, 38 marks ; pri-
vate Booty, 34 marks ; private Oliver, 28 marks; private
IVlurcott, 22 marks ; and Lieutenant Westmacott, 22 marks.
Private Booty was disqualified from taking oue of the above

prizes, having in the first competition gained one of the
prizes offered by Captain Bushby. The shooting was
brought to a close by a contest for the Consolation Stakes,

which consisted of a canteen and two money prizes for the
second third best shots. The canteen was carried off by
private Seymour, and the money prizes by Lieut. Westma-
cott and private Daniell.
The match between eight men of No. 2 (Captain Older-
shaw's) Company and eight men of No. 12 (Capt. Sartorial
St. James's Company of the Queen's (Westminster) Rifle
Volunteers, took place on Wednesday at Wormwood Scrubbs,
at the butts of the corps. The weather was fine with a
steady wind horn the left. Sergeant-Major Bardell acted as
umpire. The ranges were 200, 500, and 600 yards ; five
shots per man at each range. Wimbledon scoring was
adopted, and the rifles used were the rack rifles, having a
minimum pull of trigger of 61b. At the first range Cap-
tain Oldershaw's Company scored 80 marks against 104
made by their opponents; at 600 yards No. 2 Company
made 62 marks, and the St. James's Company 86. At 600
yards the shooting of Captain Sartoris's company was very
good, they making 70 marks against 56 of the other com-
pany. Captain Oldershaw's Company at the conclusion of
the match were in a minority of 62, they making at the
whole of the ranges 198 marks, against 260 marks of Cap-
tain Sartoris's Company. The highest scores on the winning
side were those made by Private Ballard, 44 marks, and
Private (riddle, 40 marks. Private Weatherton and Ser-
geant Bennett also shot well for their company, they mak-
ing 33 and 30 marks. A competition for the prizes pre-
sented by Sergeant Homer, of the Queen's (Westminster)
Rifles, took place on the same day, at the butts of the
corps, Wormwood Scrubbs. The following are the highest

tankards for the next best. The ranges wero 400 and 500
yards; all the ties will be shot off on the 22d inst.
The eleventh match for the Inland Revenue Challenge
Cup took place at the Wimbledon ranges on Monday last
between the Second Inland Revenue (Captain Ennis's) and
the St. James's Company (Capt. Sartoris's) of the Queen's
(Westminster), and resulted in the defeat of the latter by
12 points. The weather was most unfavourable, there being
a high wind blowing across the range, and this, with heavy
showers of rain, most materially affected the shooting. The
highest scores were made by Sergeant C. G. Godly, 16;
and Sergeant M. P. Jackson and Private J. Sanson,
each, for the Inland Revenue Company ; and Privates Bal-
lard and Criddle 12 points each for the Queen's.

Hunt, and Ensign Starkie, of the 13th Company, and Capt.
Nightingale, Lieut. Burton, and Ensign Jeffreys, of the
16th Company. After some good shooting on both sides,
the 13th Company won by 16 marks.
