POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-ROUSE.

A man, named William Higgins, who stated that he
was a tailor out of employment, was brought before
Sir Peter Laurie, charged by a policeman with having
attempted to cut his own throat with a razor.
Policeman, No. 463, stated, that some nights ago a
woman called to him to remove a man who was lying in
a place called Walbrook-buildings, near the Mansion-
house. Witness found, upon going to the spot, which was
dark, that the defendant was lying there bleeding from
the neck, and that a razor was close to him. Although
the wounds, which he learned from the defendant, had
been self-inflicted, were not deep, there was a quantity
of blood about the place. The defendant was conveyed
to the Compter, where he had the immediate assistance
of the surgeon, and he soon recovered.
Sir P. LAURIE asked the man why he attempted to
destroy himself ? He replied that he was in a perishing
condition, and could get nothing to do.
The policeman said the wounds were not deep.
Sir P. LkuniE—Suicides, and attempts, or apparent
attempts to commit suicide, very much increase, I regret
to say. I know that a morbid humanity exists, and does
much mischief, as regards the practice. I shall not en-
courage attempts of the kind, but Fhall punish them, and
I send you to the tread-mill for a month as a rogue and
vagobond. I shall look very narrowly at the cases of
persons brought before me on such charges.
Committed as a rogue and vagabond.
