POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A female, of rather respectable appearance,
brought berme the LORD MAYOR, charge'
having a goose in her possession, for which
failed to account satisfactorily.
A man who had often lost geee, saw the
walking along near Honey-lane-market, WOll
head and pluck of a well-grown goose hanging,.
of her pocket. He asked her what she had t!'l
and she replied that it w as a duck, and she wis'
to sell it. He inferred from so inaccurate a 61'5c
ti, n of the b:rd, that it Lad not been got !II
o dinary way, and was confirmed in his 0010
the subsequent c -induct of the woman.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether any hi
&aimed the goose P—Tt;e prisoner said that H°
had a right to it but herself. She dealt veil' to
e
in poultry, and often purchased from countty-
to sell a,ain.

The Loup MAYOR—As nobody appears t° "ve,
rify the goose, I shall miler that it be given WY:
but alvi•e You to take care how you possess yote
of such goods.
The priscner was then told she was dischacrol
and she was just concluding a sale of the goose tv
man who was present during the examination, 0.
one f the efficers cried our that the owner of
bird that moment appeared.
'['he new purchaser in a fright gave up il'e g°,6;
and demanded his money, but the prisoner was gi
old a hand to retwn the cash. " Let them Fueled,
guilty," said she, " and then you'll get your I een,hi
but the goose is yours, for we can all swear that.

The LORD MAYOR—Perhaps, for all von t '

office, " his name is Thomas Luxton."

Thomas Luxton, who is an apprentice to a -otOf

Mr. GREGORIE said that he understood thero
