POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young man named Thomas Osborne was summoned
for having thrown dirty water from a window upon a
ung woman named Louisa Green, who was walking
along the street.
Tim complainant, who appeared to be an industrious
young person, stated, that as she was passing down
Winchester-street with some work, down came aquan-

tity of water upon her bonnet and the work she had in
her hand. She saw that the salute came from the win•
dow of a house in which the defendant lived. Indeed
them was no attetopt to deny the fact, but the conse-
quence was that her bonnet was spoiled and she had to
go over her. work again. She had been employed three
or four days in endeavouring to obtain recompense, and
had been promised ten shillings, but as the father of the
defendant refused to give her anything she was obliged
to make this appeal.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said that the complainant

had been several times at the Mansion-house on the sub-
ject, and he really thought that the small sum which she
demanded ought to have been paid long ago.
Mr. Osborne, senior, said that the injury which the
young woman had sustained was really nothing, for the
water which fell upon her did not amount to more than
a cup full, and it was not by any means very dirty. B.
•
sides the thing was unintentional, for the fact was that
his son, finding that all the other vessels in the bedroom
were full, flung the water out of the window because
there was no other place for it.
Tho defendant entertained the opinion which his fa-
ther had expressed as to the trivial nature of the damage.
Sir CHAPMAN MAnstiALL expressed his surprise at

the hesitation of the two gentlemen to pay the ten shil-
lings, and said that if a son of his happened to fling '
water upon a poor girl, although it might not happen to
be very dirty water, he would at once have given her at
least double the sum she was willing to take.
Mr. Osborne, sen.—Let her produce the bonnet and
show the injury it has received. lam willing to pay
for any injury, but this is an imposition.
Mr. Hobler—Perhaps, Sir, you don't know that your
son may be fined 40s. for emptying his basin into the
street? Mr. Osborne, sen.—Sir, the girl shall not be
paid this demand. I know that she received no damage.
Mr. Hobler—The Lord Mayor can inflict a penalty

or bind over your son to appear at the sessions.
Mr. Osborne, sen.—Sir, my father was Mayor of
Hull three tirnes.—(Laughter.) My son shall go to the
sessions.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—Very well ; I would ad-
vice you to settle the matter. Ten shillings is a mere
trifle to you, and if this goes to the sessions it will prove
very troublesome and may be very expensive.
Mr. Osborne, sen.—Oh, it may go to the sessions.
Although my lather has not been Lord Mayor of Lon-
don, he has been Mayor of Hull three times.—(Laugh-
ter.) Let it go to the sessions.
Mr. Osborne and his son were then walking towards
the door, but Mr. Hobler said—Officer, you must not
let the young gentleman go until two sureties are en-
tered into for 201. each for his appearance.
The defendant and his father then walked into the
next room, and paid the ten shillings to the young wo-
man, and the expenses.
