POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Two seamen applied to Mr. Alderman Salomons for
advice as t) the course it would be most advisable that
theyishould pursue, in consequence of the refusal of their
captain to supply them with the means of supporting
their wives and families out of the wages due to them.
The applicants stated that they had entered into an
engagement with the captain of a collier, now lying
below Blackwell, at 31. ss. a man, to work the vessel by
the run, and that they had been already a month in that
spot, and were still without the chance of advancing into
the Pool, so as to be under obligation to sell and dis-
charge the cargo according to the regulations of the
Court of Aldermen. Under these circumstances they
and two other men, who constituted the whole of the
crew, had applied to the captain for their wages, in order
to keep their wives and children from the union, to
which they did not desire to be under any kind of obli-
gation, but that no attention was paid to their request.
Alderman SALOMONS expressed the greatest willing•
ness to render service to the seamen by his interposition,
but the juritcliction of the City magistrates did not ex•
tend to the place in which the vessel lay. Ho wished to
know why the captain remained so long a time in the
river?

The man said he was waiting for a higher price for
coals than could at the present moment be got for them,
and he therefore lingered in his present station, know-
ing that if once within the port the cargo must of neces•
sity be discharged. When they expostulated with him
upon the condition to which their families were reduced,
he gave them the uncomfortable assurance that he
might not be able to return for a month or two to
the place in which they had entered into the contract
to work the vessel, so that starvatidn would probably
stare those who were dear to them in the face before
they should have it in their power, without the aid of
the City authorities, to supply them with the necessa•
ries of life.

Alderman SALOMONB —Your case is indeed a very
hard one, but it is not without a remedy, although it is
not in my power to administer it. I have no doubt the
Thames police magistrates will interfere upon your ap-
plication to them fur a summons to the captain for having
refused to pay you your wages, end I hope that, for
the sake of Poor seamen who may be subjected to such
treatment, public notice may be taken of your reasonable
complaint.

William Prior was brought up, charged with having
in Lis posscs%ion five papers of foreign tobacco, upon
which duty had not been paid.
The inspector of the Thames police saw the defendant
in a skiff leaving a steamer, and suspecting that a little
contraband practice was going on, he boarded him, and
asked him whether he had not something in his posses-
sion which ho ought not to have. He denied that he
had; but the calves of his legs, which turned out to be
made of tobacco, betrayed him, and def, cts in other parts
of his person were found to be filled up with the same sort
of stuffing.
Alderman SALOMONS—What defence have you to
make, prisoner? Prisoner—The want of bread made
me do it.

Alderman SALOMONS (to the inspector)—Was the
steam vessel from which you saw the defendant come
searched when you took him into custody?—The in-
spector replied in the negative. It was not the practice
to search the steam-vessels from which contraband
goods were carried until a report was made at the Cus
tom- house.

Alderman SALOMONS—The search may then be too
late. You ought to seek out the more criminal parties
who employ poor fellows in this injurious traffic. In my
opinion such employers stand in the situation in which
receivers stand with regard to thieves, and deserve to be
much more severely punished.
The inspector said there were great difficulties in the
way of detecting those who employed men like the de-
fendant. It was a principle with the smuggler who was
detected in the act not to say a word calculated to in-
volve those who employed him in the penalties.
Alderman SALOMONS—I am satisfied that a more
strict and vigilant course would prove fatal to the inte-
rests of the more culpable parties concerned in tran%ae-
lions of this kind. To wait until the steamer is reported
at the Custom-house is to give those on board who may
have a plentiful supply of smuggled goods an opportunity
of getting rid of them. Why not proceed to search the
steamer at once? _ .

The inspector repeated that the orders under which he
acted did not contain any regulation of the kind. He
was sure, however, that as soon as he should make the
report of what had taken place, an order would be issued
for the search.

Alderman SALOMONS—If we, as magistrates, did not
use greater promptitude as to the receiving of stolen
goods than the Custom-house authorities in the detection
of smuggling, there would be very little chance of resti-
tution. I fiue the defendant 40s. for this offence, or
fourteen days' imprisonment; but I should much rather
punish those who pay him for the hazard he runs in
their service.
