LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ADMIRALTY COURT, 2Yov. 4.
°THE BORDERIIR.-SALVAGE.

The barque Borderer, of 400 tons, from Shields to
Aden, in charge of an acting-master, with a cargo of
coals, coming into the Downs, at about six o'clock in
the morning of the 29th of December, got upon the
Goodwin Sands. The sloop Tartar, of 20 tons,
belonging to Broadstairs, prepared to render service
to vessels in distress, came to her assistance, and put
some men on board. The barque was soon got into
deep water, and anchored off the North Foreland.
For their services on this occasion the master and crew
of the Tartar claimed a salvage reward, alleging that
the sand upon which the barque struck was the
Goodwin Knoll of the North Sand Head, whereas the
owners of the barque asserted that it was the Burnt
Sand Head. Almost every other material point was
in dispute between the parties. The owners con-
tended that, if a case of salvage at all, it was one of the
slightest description, the vessel having come off with-
out any aid from the asserted salvors.
Having heard Dr. Phillimore and Dr. Robertson
for the salvors, and Dr. Harding and Dr. Twiss for
the owners,

Dr. LUSHINOTON, after condemning the practice of
masters of vessels employing acting-masters—persons
not elected by their owners---to conuct them through
a dangerous navigation, was of opinion that, as the
acting-master of the bark had suffered the salvors to
come on board and retained them, it was too late to
turn round and deny that they were salvors. Upon
the whole, he came to the conclusion that a certain
service had been performed, but that it was of a very
slight description, and he considered 601., with the
expenses, to be an ample remuneration for them.
Dr. Stonestreet, who was admitted on the 2d inst.
an advocate of the Arches' Court, was introduced in
the usual form, and admitted an advocate of this
Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M ANSION-HO USE.

Yesterday Joseph Green, Edward Thomas, and
Catherine Curtis, who have been in the habit of
robbing in concert in the streets of London, were
brought before the Lord Mayor by Joseph Heding-
ton and Michael Heydon, two of the most active of
the City police, charged, the woman with having
robbed a Mr. Allen of his watch, and the two men
with having aided and assisted in the robbery.
A little before six o'clock on Wednesday evening
the two officers saw the prisoners pass from High-
street in the Borough, over London-bridge, and,
having particularly observed their features under a
gas lamp, and guessed their business, followed them.
The movements of the prisoners were according to the
most approved plans of the fraternity. The woman
went in front of the men, and spoke to a gen-
tleman, who did not notice her. She then passed
on into King William-street, through Prinee's-
street, and to the corner of Lothbury, where she ad-
dressed another gentleman, her companions drop-
ping, as in the first instance, behind with peculiar
tact. Having failed in this experiment, she joined
her companions for a short time, and then separated
from them. At last she spoke to a gentleman in
Cornhill, while Green waited at the corner of Ex-
change-buildings, and Thomas ran along Cornhill on
the side opposite to that on which she was engaged.
After some time occupied in this sort of manceuvering
the woman caught hold of a gentleman near Lime-
street, the two men having so placed themselves as
to be able to conceal whatever plunder she might
succeed in getting by her eager exertions. Suddenly
she dropped away from the person she had laid hold
of, and one of the officers asked the gentleman
whether he had lost anything. He replied in the
negative ; but upon being requested to search his
pockets, said at once that his watch was gone. The
officers, who had marked every motion of the pri-
soners, finally succeeded in apprehending them all.
Green, upon being seized for the robbery, struck He-
dington on the cheek with the butt end of a whip
which he carried, and made a desperate attempt to
escape. Upon his person were found a watch, gold
guard chain, and seal, a diamond ring, a mourning
ring, and a gold pin, a sovereign, ten shillings, and
1011. Upon Thomas, who was immediately after-
wards apprehended by Haydon, were found a bunch
of ten keys, a knife, and an enapty. purse. Suspecting
that the female prisoner, who had got away in the
confusion and struggle, would return to the Borough,
Haydon, the instant he placed the prisoner in the
, ran in that direction, and over-
-bridge. Upon being
teouoshtohdeyr ofat Hdioeiefnogottoonf
London
taken into custody, and told what for, she trembled
excessively, and, catching the cfficer by the hand,
pulled him towards the baustrades of Fishmongers'-
ball. She then put her hand into her pocket, and
pulling out a silver watch, said, " Here it is, Sir,
here it is." That watch was the article she had stolen
from the gentleman she had caught hold of near
Lime-street.

Mr. G. Allen, an officer of Excise, stated that a
woman walked up to him about seven o'clock on
Wednesday evening, and asked him some question
about a railroad, as ho believed. Soon afterwards
Iledington came up and asked him whether he had
1. st anything, and requested that he would search
his pockets. To his great surprise he at once ascer-
tained that his watch was gone, and that his watch-
guard was cut and hanging about his neck. The
robbery must have been effected momentarily, and
with great skill, for he felt nothing at all of a pull or
a push.
The LORD MAYOR, having heard all the particulars
of the manner in which these ingenious thieves were
followed by the officers, said it was with no ordinary
tis faction he found it to be incumbent upon hial to
express himself strongly in approbation of the conduct
of llaydon and Hedington upon the present and
upon many former occasions. By the active instru
mentality of these and some others of the City police
force, who had heads as well as hands to work with,
they had succeeded in bringing to justice several of
the ringleaders of the most desperate gangs of
thieves in the metropolis. He should take care, by
ordering the City Solicitor to prosecute in this in-
stance, to match the ingenuity of those who might be
selected for the defence of such delinquents ; and he
gave notice that, whenever he should find prisoners of
the "swell mob" amongst those brought before him,
he should take care to hand them over to the same
legal authority, to be dealt with as far as the law
could deal with them.

The prisoners were then committed for trial.
A man named Henry Kirby, in the employment of
Messrs. Thornton, Nioholls, and Pellet, es ass;stant
to the steam• boat money-taker at the Old Shades
Pier, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for
having used language calculated to lead to a breach
of the peace.
Captain Evans, a retired officer of the Artillery, re-
siding in Upper Dorchester-street, Cavendish-square,
stated, that as he was going down the sloping plat-
form of the pier, the defendant, who was dressed in a
sort of uniform, called out to him that he must not
pass without a ticket. Witness said he wanted to see
whether a friend cf his was waiting for him, but the
defendant rudely refused to comply, and witness re-
turned, but not lefore he was assailed with foul lan-
guage and called " dirty beggar." Determined to
punish a person gailty of so unprovoked an outrage,
he called upon tle :defendant for his name, but no
attention was pail to the call, and subsequently the
conduct of the Mow aggravated the cause of the
complaint. The difficulties placed in the way of
Captain Evans in his attempt to obtain something in
the shape of satifaction, did not deter him from fol-
lowing up the mplaint, but the assistance of an in-
spector of policewas necessary before he could suc-
ceed in obtainin: the name and address of Kirby.
A gentleman from the establishment of Messrs.
Thornton and Ck, attended, and stated that the de-
fendant was a xluable servant, and had not been

known to give 4'l;e to gentlemen.
The LORD Mtoß said it was quite evident that if
the defendant we in the habit of being civil he had
deviated very mtch on the occasion described from
his usual practie. His Lordship then fined Kirby
10s. and costs, rnd Captain Evans expressed himself
perfectly satisfiet with the decision, and handed over
the costs to the ,ord Mayor's poor-box.
