POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIOg-HOUSE.
Mr. Fleming, the proprietor of the wharf which suffered
so much in the late calamity near London-bridge, and Mr.
Smith, clerk to the agents of the Dublin Steam-packet
Company, appeared before the LORD MAYOR.
Mr. Crome, an Irish gentleman, who at present resides
at No. 32, Southampton-street, Strand, engaged a passage
in the William Fawcett steam-vessel, belonging to the above-
mentioned Company, on the 23d of August, for himself and
three of his family, and paid 1/. 55,, for extra luggage, and
received the receipts for the amount he had paid. On the
28th he arrived in the Thames, and demanded his luggage
of the captain, who said that as it was Sunday he could
not get it, but on Monday the delivery should take place.
Next day accordingly he called, at eight o'clock in the
morning, in a boat alongside, to take away his luggage.
The men were loading a lighter out of the steamer, to be
carried to a wharf, and Mr. Hickay, clerk to the agent of
the Dublin Steam-packet Company, was present, and said,
it was impossible to let him have the luggage at that time,
as his name being high on the list of the passengers, his
luggage was at the bottom of the lighter. Seeing the end
of one of his trunks, in which there was a great deal of va-
luable property, at the bottom of the lighter, he requested
that the clerk would let him have it, and he would call for
the remainder in the evening. Mr. Hickay replied that
there were too many packages over it to be removed at
that time. " Where are you going with it," said witness,
" for I have a large property in it ?" " To Fenning's Wharf,"
was the reply, " for we can't land them at our own, it is so
full." 'Witness urged the necessity he was in for his pro-
perty, hut it was in vain. The goods were taken to Fen-
ning's Wharf, and were burnt in the conflagration.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you get any part of your pro-
perty ? Witness—l have got part of the plate. All the
purchases I made in Ireland for the use of my family in this
country were burnt, and in consequence of the refusal of
the wharfingers to let me have the papers which happened
to be unconsumed I have sustained an additional loss, for
the papers have been rotted by the water.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you see any of your property
in the ruins ? Witness—Yes, and applied for it, but Mr.
Fenning's agents refused to let me take it. I identified the
trunks, and proved that they were mine by opening each of
them with my keys which I had in a bunch. The boxes
were partly burnt, but not all consumed.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you say that they refused to
give you up your property then ? Witness—l do. I bad
bank-notes, and I believe sovereigns, in the trunk. Not
one farthing of the money have I received, but I have got
some of the plate.
Mr. Fanning—What was the value of the bank-notes
which you say you lost ? Witness—l cannot exactly say,
but I at present, upon a rough guess, estimate my loss at
about 1,2001.

The LORD MAYOR—How many days transpired before
they gave you any of the things ? Witness—About
eight days.
The son of Mr. Crone went to kenning's wharf, in the
absence of his father, to demand the property, and took
with him the receipts which his father had received from
the Dublin Steam-packet Company for the luggage, toge-
ther with an order from the agent's office. He received a
box of plate and papers, and gave up the receipts, and was
told that be might take the rest if he could identify them.
Next day be went for the remainder, but was told that he
could get no more without the payment of five pounds.
Mr. Fenning—The residue is detained for the salvage.
The LORD MAYOR—What is meant by detaining the
goods for the salvage ?, Mr. Fenning—A great expence
is incurred by getting the property out of the ruins, and it
cannot be expected after so dreadful a calamity that
we can be at all that expense. I have not acted in this
case without legal advice.
_ _

Mr. Smith, the Dublin Steam Packet Company's Clerk,
stated, that when Mr. Crome applied at the office he was
offered every assistance, and that if his Lordship would
hear the other side of the question, he would find that
nothing improper had been done upon the part of the
Company.
Mr. John Hickay was a Clerk to the Dublin Steam-
packet Company. When Mr. Crome appeared to ask for
his goods on board he requested that one trunk, which was'
at the bottom of the lighter, should be given to him ; but
it was quite impossible to get at it, and witness said so, and
stated to Mr. Crome that the lighter was going with the
goods to Fenning's Wharf, where in all probability he
would get his trunks in the course of the day. There was,
witness believed, some of Mr. Crome's luggage on the deck
at the time, and he (witness) would have most readily given
them up to Mr. Crome if he bad wished for it, but nothing
was asked for except the • trunk, which lay at the very
bottom.

The LORD MAYOR said that the evidence just produced
did not alter the character of the transaction, which ap-
peared to him to be altogether unjustifiable.
Mr. Crome said that another passenger wished to speak
to the Lord Mayor.
Captain Moore, of the 80th Regiment, was unfortu-
nately also a severe sufferer by the fire, and he wished to
know whether Mr. Fenning meant to charge him salvage
upon the goods which he had in the ruins ? He had iden-
tified his plate, and the only objection made to the delivery
of the property to him was, that he had not an order from
Mr. Smith. He had paid the freight, and was most anxious
to avoid litigation under the very painful circumstances in
which he was placed.

Mr. Fenning was positive that in making a demand for
salvage he was right.
Captain Moore—l could not expect that, after having
lost property to the amount of 500/., I should be asked for
salvage upon that which has been recovered.
Mr. Penning—We could have had no objection if those
who shared in the calamity sent people to dig for them in
the ruins, but the expense is enormous, and it cannot be ex-
pected that I should pay it.

Captain Moore—l was going to New South Wales, and
my regiment is now embarking at Chatham. I have not
only lost all my property, but am, in consequence of the
calamity, obliged to relinquish my appointment, and I never
could have supposed that I should be subjected to this pe-
nalty.

The LORD MAYOR—My recommendation to you both
gentlemen is that you immediately apply to legal advisers.
In my opinion a Court of Law would make it all right.
The parties then left the Justice-room.

GUILDHALL.
William Blackburn, of Fetter-lane, who has been under
examination here for having administered a drug to Hannah
Mary Turner, aged 17, for an improper purpose, was yes-
terday committed to take his trial for the offence.

HATTO.N-GARDEN.
Hugh APAreale, a Scotch baker, was charged with being
drunk on Thursday night last. The prisoner was seen by
a constable in Broad-street, St. Giles's, surrounded by a
mob of the lowest character, with his hands full of sove-
reigns, which he was distributing amongst them most
munificently, and they were eagerly seizing on them when
he was taken into custody.
The inspector produced 37 sovereigns and 155., which
Mr. BENNETT ordered to be handed over to the prisoner's
father, who accompanied him ; and, being severely repri-
manded for his foolish and imprudent conduct, he was dis-
charged.

Yesterday Frances Carey, a well-looking young woman,
was brought before Mr. BENNETT for re-examination,
charged by John Jones, a weather-beaten tar, with having
[ robbed him of 1/. 17s. and a suit of clothes.
Poor Jack, with all the peculiarity of manner and phraseo-
logy of the seaman, stated that on Saturday ilast he re-
turned from Quebec on board the Eleanor, which landed
him at the docks, and he was paid off at a crib in the
City, at the back of the Royal Exchange, where he re-
ceived 101. and some silver. He started straight off to
his cousin, Rice Jones, a milkman, his only friend ashore,
No. 14, North-mews, Tottenham-court-road, where, after
a glass o'grog, they began to cast up accounts, and
only having a few togs, which were especially reserved
to land, but which were now destroyed by the wet
dropping from the chain cable, and the cock roaches
having formed a kind of colony about them, he de-
termined on rigging himself afresh ; and after keeping it
up merrily on Sunday with his cousin and wife, he left them
on Monday to go to Monmouth-street, where he laid out a
good round sum for a couple o' suits and other articles, one
of which he put on over the old one, and tied the other up
in a handkerchief, but on going- along he met a couple of
his messmates, and they went to a pulic-house and drank
rum grog, until he began to think o' the necessity of a pilot,
and not being able to steer himself along he went under a
gateway and stowed 11. 17s. in his neckcloth, which he tied
round his neck, and was making his way towards his cou-
sin's to his berth, when he met with a young woman (the
prisoner), who offered to lend him a hand to a place of
safety, and for her kindness he gave her a drain or two,
which sent him afloat, and on getting into the fresh breeze
he was upset, and he lay dead drunk on the pavement, and
he did not know what was the matter until he found him-
self in the station house the following morning, without a
farthing in his pocket ; his neckcloth with the money was
gone, and he was covered from head to foot with mud, and
in a reg'lar pickle. Here the poor fellow hung down his
head and, rubbing the top of his leather hat, shed a tear,
and in a melancholy tone said, it is not the money nor the
clothes that I cares so much about, but poor Rice, poor
Rice Jones, my only friend, who always lent mo a helping
hand when I came ashore, and who was here last Monday,
as well as ever he was in all his life, is now stiff and dead, a
reg'lar corpse your honour.

-Mr. BENNETT—What did he die of ? Jack, (wiping
his eyes)—He died of a brain fever yesterday morning, all
o': a sudden ; and it makes me so miserable to look at him,
or to be in the place.

2

Mr. BENNETT—How long have you been a sailor.
Jack—Why I took the idea when I was a boy, and I men
q
say I have been on the ocean all my life time ;
in the east, west, north, and south, I've box'd the reglar
compass, but never met with such a gale as this here be-
fore, your Honour. Once a sailor always a sailor, Pi°
Honour.

prisoner was running away near Museum-street, Blooms'

Witness stopped her, and she said she was the prosecutors

shillings, and she said if his neckcloth was examined, a so-
vereign would be found, but that was missing also. 'rue

to take the prosecutor to the " Rookery," or " Rat's

A fellow who gave his name Hoare, who was seen with
the prisoner, saw the prosecutor challenge a man to fight
at a public-house, and he gave his clothes and money to
another person to hold.
Mr. BENNETT should remand the prisoner for the at,
tendance of the landlord of the house.
Restiaux produced the clothes, which were identified by
the prosecutor. The prisoner was then remanded. e
Prosecutor—Will your Honour be pleased to give and
some money, I hav'nt got a farthing to get grub
I don't like bearing upon my friends.
Mr. BENNETT could not order an

be be delivered up to him at present, and the poor fellow
left the office quite cast down. with, an
