Mary Ann 11'eedon, aged 18, a delicate and respectable-
looking young woman, was found Guilty of stealing a pair
of boots, value 75., the property of Joseph Johnson, on the
17th inst.

The CHAIRMAN, in sentencing her to transportation for
seven years, observed that her case should be recommended to
the consideration of the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, with a view to provide an asylum for her. ,
John Ramsay and James Rayson, two notorious pick-
pockets, were found Guilty of stealing a silk handkerchief
from the pocket of Mr. Frederick Philpot, a surgeon, at
Barnet Race-course on Tuesday last. Upon being taken into
custody five pocket-handkerchiefs and a bundle of cigars were
found upon them.—They were each sentenced to be trans-
ported for seven years.
GAMING-ROUSER.—Mr. PRENDERGAST applied to the Court
(upon affidavit) for leave to pay in the sum of 501., the amount
of the recognizances entered into by a Mr. Smith as surety
for the appearance of Lewis Lewis, against whom true bills
have been found for keeping a common gaming-house, but
whom Mr. Smith was unable to produce in Court.
The COURT granted the application, and the money was
paid into the Treasurer's-office.
Just as the Court was about to rise the Grand Jury returned
true bills against Wni. Austen and Win. Crochford, of St.
James's-street, and Charles. Deboos, of Albemarle-street, for
keeping common gaming-houses in the parish of St. James's.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A fish salesman of Billingsgate was summoned befor e the
Lord MAYOR for keeping a dog that was disposed to snap at
passers-by.
A young man stated that about a fortnight ago, as he was
passing by the defendant's stall in the market, the dog bit
him in the calf of the leg. He shewed his leg to the defen•
dant, who sympathized with him. Next day his leg was con-
siderably worse, and for a week he was wholly unable to work.
The defendant refused to give hint any recompence for the in-
jury he had sustained, although the dog was the defendant's
property.
The defendant stated that the dog was not his, but any-
body's dog ; that the animal was one of a hundred that visited
the market, and that he, of course, was not responsible for the
mischief.

A rough voice in the crewd—" Please your Lordship, the
dog's a bitch, and she belongs to Mr. Huggitt. I seed him
pay for her wittles, and he would'nt do that if she wan't his'n,
for he ant a generous man by no means."
The Lord MAYOR—Who are you ?—(Laughter.)
The man replied that he was one Hopkinson, and he came
forward upon a short wooden leg.
Defendant—My Lord ; this here man is always a poking
at the dog with his wooden leg. The animal don't like to be
poked at with such an instrument, and it teaches him to be
mischievous.

Hopkinson—l'll say all I knows. I did not sec the dog
give no bite, but she is always in Mr. Huggit's stall, and he
gives her wittles reglar.
Defendant—Will your swear that ? Hopkinson—Will I ?
Give me the book, and you'll see how I'll swear.
Defendant—Then Ibe blessed if I do'nt try you for per-
jury. Please you, my Lord, they are all jealous of me be-
cause I manage to get a living, and they want to father the
poor animal upon me.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, suppose we order the dog to be
killed ? Defendant—My Lord, that might be done, to be
sure ; but she is quiet if she's not provoked, and these people
are doing all they can to injure me.
Hopkinson—There, my Lordship, if the bitch wasn't his'n,
he wouldn't care to see her hanged ; for Mr. Huggit is a man
wet would like to see another man's hanimal upon the swing.—
( Laughter.) It's a shame to let bitches go about biting off
people's legs. She's often had my leg in her teeth, but it's
the wooden un.
The LORD MAYOR—I have no doubt that the defendant is
the owner of the dog, and I shall insist that he remunerate the
complainant for the loss of the week's work.
Huggit, with some grumbling, consented.
