POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
THE CHURCIL—Some days ago Mr. Harris, the owner
of a public-house, in Leadenhall-market, objected to pay
tithes to the Rev. Francis Dawson, the Rector of All-
hallows, Lombard-street, on the ground that the Rev.
Gentleman performed duty no more than once a-week in
the church, and that he had granted a lease of the rectory
house to a person who had turned it into a public-house,
and thus become a rival in business to the defendant. Upon
that occasion the Lord Mayor ordered that the tithe should
be paid, and expressed an incredulity as to the statement
made concerning the Rector.

Yesterday Mr. Gude waited upon the Lord Mayor for
the purpose of removing from his Lordship's mind any
doubt that might be entertained as to the correctness of
the statement of the party who objected to pay the titkle.
The Loan MAYOR said that the defendant had, to his
knowledge, wrongly stated that Mr. Dawson was Rector
of Hayes, for he happened to know the Rector of that
place, who was the Rcv. Mr. Hussey,
Mr. Gude assured his Lordship that Mr. Dawson was,
at the time the license was applied for, the incumbent of
that parish as well as a pluralist to a great extent in other
places. At the time that notice was given of the ap-
plication for the license he (Mr. Gude) wrote a letter
to the Bishop of London, complaining of the intended
deseer,tion, and requesting the Bishop's interposition.
The Bishop of London replied that the parish of All-
hallows is a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mr. Gude then wrote to the Archbishop, and two days
after this letter was transmitted, the Secretary to the Right
Rev. Prelate called to look at the place to license which
application had been made, and observed that it wa...)nighly
improper to convert the rectory-house into a 'public-house,
and that in 411 probability the Archbienop would commu-
nicate with Mr. Dawson and the Curate on the subject.
The Loth MAYOR—Ana the petitioner persevered in
his application ? Mr. Gude said that the license was ap-
plied for and granted on the 14th of March, 1836, not-
withstanding tho opposition by Counsel employed by him.
Mr, Adolphus applied upon the part of the petitioner for
the license, Richard Corrie Bache. The petitioner stated
that Mr. Bache had expended, in fitting up the house, the
sum of 1,5001. Mr. Bodkin opposed the application upon
his (Mr. Gude's) part, and presented petitions against it to
the effect stated in the letter to the Archbishop, but all
was useless, for the license was granted by the unanimous
vote of the Court, in which eight Aldermen sat.
The Loan MAYOR said that he could not remedy tke
evil--all he could do was to regret it.

HATTON-GARDEN,
DESTITUTION.—Yesterday a lad, teen years of age,
barefooted, and whose appearanek indicated great distress,
was brought up in the custody of an officer, charged with
begging in the streets. The officer being sworn, stated
that he found the boy yesterday morning begging in the
streets, by putting his hand to his hat to passengers and
the inhabitants while at their windows, and he saw him re-
ceive some halfpence.

. -
Mr. BENETT directed the constable to take him imme-
diately to Bermondsey parish, and ascertain whether he be-
longed to it, with his recommendation that he might be
received, and in the event of their refusal to bring him back
to the office.

Samuel Grazier was brought up on a warrant, in the
custody of Hall, the officer of this establishment, charged
with having feloniously forged and uttered a bill of exchange
for 401., with intent to defraud James Collins, of Hastings,
in the county of Sussex.
Hall produced his warrant, and stated that in the year
1885 Collins applied at this office for a warrant against the
prisoner for the offence charged against him, and being
traced to be confined in Whitecross-street Prison, witness
lodged the warrant in the hands of the Governor. Yester-
day the prisoner was discharged from the gaol, when wit-
ness was in readiness to make his cap ture when he appre-
hended the prisoner,but the prosecutor was not in attendance.
Mr. BENETT directed that the solicitor for the prosecu-
tion should be immediately communicated with, and he re-
manded the prisoner, on which he was handed over to Wad-
dington, the gaoler, who locked him up.
