POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A young man, named Charles Rich, was brought before
the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen twenty
sheep, the property of Mr. AlgAikins, a farmer, at Horn-
church, in Essex.

The prisoner was fully committed.
Mr. Sturtevant, of Church-street, Shoreditch, soap-boiler,
waited upon the LORD MAYOR, in consequence of the state-
ment made before his Lordship that the mixture of arsenic
in the manufacture of soap would be pernicious to health.
He firmly believed that by the operations of soap-boiling the
arsenic would not contain more than one-eight of its poi-
sonous quality. The ingredients used in the manufacture of
the article of soap were of such a description, and the pro-
cess was so severe, that the poison would be rendered quite
harmless.

The Lonn Mai on requested to know whether the gen-
tleman who favoured him with the communication applied
to him at the request of Mr. Fenning ?
Mr. Sturtevant did not apply at the desire of Mr. Fen-
ning, but he wished to purchase the provisions which had
been injured by the fire, and addressed his Lordship on the
subject on account of the difficulties which the statement
about the arsenic threw in the way.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you know the nature of the
property which you wish to purchase ?
Mr. Sturtevant replied in the negative.
The LORD MAYOR—What do you suppose it is worth
per ton ? Mr. Sturtevant—About 151.
The LORD MAYOR—And how many tons are there ?
Do you suppose there are ten ? Mr. Sturtevant—l dare
say there is about that quantity.
The LORD MAYOR—Is it worth your while for a thing
of such small value to run such a risk by the purchase of
property about which there exists so great a difference of
opinion between you and chemical practitioners ? Will
you hazard your character-and your business by purchasing
a commodity respecting which there is so much suspicion ?
Mr. Sturtevant—My opinion is most decided that not one
atom of the poisonous quality would remain after the soap-
boiling operations. It is quite impossible that any injury
could arise. -

The LORD MAYoß—Well, I have nothing further to do
with the matter. Mr. Penning can do what he considers
to be expedient under the circumstances, but I again put it
to you whether you think it worth your while for a small
profit to purchase any commodity, about the safety of
making any use of which there is so very great a degree of
suspicion ? Mr. Sturtevant made no reply, but immediately
retired.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
David Lynch, a labouring man, was yesterday charged
with having nearly knocked out one of the eyes of a young
girl by a blow with his fist. The circumstances of the as-
sault disclose an instance of that mingled brutality and
cowardice which appears to be peculiar to a portion of the
labouring class of Irish.
The girl was standing at the corner of Woodstock-street,
when the prisoner came up to her, and without speaking
felled her to the ground. The blow left her senseless, and
bleeding profusely. She declared she had never seen the
prisoner in her life before.
Mr. CHAMBERS—And I am afraid, my poor girl, thati
you will never see him, at least with your left eye. Why,l
you fellow, how came you to injure the girl so cruelly ?
Prisoner (with a stupid grin)—Yes ; I pretty nearly knocked
out her eye.
Mr. CHAMBERS-Why did you strike her ? Prisoner—
I'll not deny it. I had not the laste rason in life.
Mr. CIIAMBERS—I'II put a stop to your brutality for
some time. Pay 31., or you shall go to prison for one
month.

HA TT ON- GARDEN.
A tall, slovenly-looking Irishman, who gave his name
Paddy Flynn, was brought from the station-house by police
constable 1.53, G division, charged with being drunk. The
constable, on Sunday morning last, at an early hour, found
the prisoner lying upon the broad of his back, on Saffron-
hill, in a state of intoxication, with his hands and legs tied
with a rope, his face blackened, and a short pipe in his
mouth, and quite insensible, when, with assistance, he took
him to the station-houses
Mr. LAING asked him what he was ? Prisoner (rubbing
down his hair)—A poor Irishman, your Wortchip.
Mr. LAING—How do you get your livinc, ? Prisoner—
I am a skin-dresser, and please your Wortchip ; and I
work for Mr. Taylor, near Cow-cross.
Mr. LAING—What have you to say for getting drunk,
and getting your arms and legs tied ? Prisoner—l vent
to th wake of a friend who died the other day, where I
smoked and dhrank till it was late, and I sated myself
down to take a rest on the step of a door and fell fast
asleep, when I suppose they had their fun on me and tied
me hand and foot, and divil a farthing did they lave about
me, and I didn't know where I was when I found myself in
the station-house, and good look to them for taking care
of me.—(Laughter.)
Mr. LAING discharged him, advising him to be cautious
in future, and not to be brought there again under similar
circumstances.

Paddy then thanked his Wortchip, and quitted the office,

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Susannah Hill, a girl of thirteen, was brought
before Mr. TRAILL, on a charge of stealing a quantity of
jewellery and plate, the property of the Misses Fothergill,
of Hatton-garden ; and Alfred Hill, the brother of the fe-
male prisoner, was charged with receiving the same, know-
ing. it to have been stolen.

Prom evidence adduced it appeared that the brother
had incited the sister to steal the articles, in order to sup-
ply him with clothes. The girl's own confession completed
the proof.

BOth the prisoners were committed for trial ; but it is
intended to make application to the Judge before whom the
case is tried to allow the female to become a witness for
the Crown.

THAMES-OFFICE.
Yesterday John Rawlins, a fisherman, and John Perry-
man, a fisherman's apprentice, belonging to the oyster
smack Edward, were brought before THomns CLARicsoN,
Esq., the sitting Magistrate, charged with breaking into a
barge, called the Abergavenny, belonging to Mr. William
Jones, of Rainham, in Kent, and stealing a quantity of
;wearing apparel, two sovereigns, and other property there-
from.

The prisoners confessed the robbery, and were committed.
