Lord DENMAN said the Court was of opinion that the
quo warranto must issue.—Rule absolute.
NIR. DUNN.

At the rising of the Court Mr. Dunn, whose name has
been so frequently before the public, and who, it will be
in the recollection of our readers, was committed some
time since by order of the Magistrates for annoying Mks
Angelina Burdett Coutts, applied to the Court, and said
he appeared there by writ of habeas corpus which had
been made returnable that day, but that at that late hour
he supposed the Court would not like to go into the case.
Lord DENMAN—We will hear you to-morrow, after we
have gone through the bar.
Mr. Dunn then withdrew in custody.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday Capt.,Stewart, who a short time ago made
a statement to the Lord Mayor of important services
which he had rendered many years ago to the under-
writers at Lloyd's, waited upon his Lordship, who had
advised him to represent his, claims to that body in a
formal manner, to mention the result of the application.
The Captain said that he had made no direct claim,
but he had applied to have the services which he had
rendered at the period he had specified in his state-
ment taken into consideration, through the Committee
at Lloyd's, by the underwriters. His application, he
lamented to say, bad been rejected, and the Secretary
at Lloyd's intimated that there existed no sort of claim,
as salvage was not at the period of the alleged services
demanded by the applicant. It was in vain that he
appealed to the various circumstances corroborative of
the validity of his claims, for there appeared to be a fixed
determination not to entertain it for a moment.
The Loan MAYOR. said that he had himself acci-
dentally seen Mr. Robinson, the chairman at Lloyd's,
and spoken to him on the subject ; and his Lordship
bad reason to think, from that conversation, that Cap-
tain Stewart had nothing to hope for from that quarter.
His Lordship supposed that the great length of time
that had intervened, and the considerable change of
persons and circumstances which must have occurred as
regarded the underwriters, operated against the validity
1 of the claim:

Captain Stewart assured the Lord Mayor that he felt
towards his Lordship, for the kind interest he had taken
in the matter, and the great courtesy he had shown to
a man who had been severely buffeted by the world,
the deepest gratitude. He regretted much that amongst
liritish merchants, from whom a man who had hazarded
much for their benefit, and saved their property from
irretrievable damage, there should exist no sympathy
for him, when he needed that which, were it not for his
necessities, he never would have thought of asking.
The Captain then took his leave.
An elderly man named Eldridge, was charged by a
hackney-coachman with having refused to pay four
shillings driving expenses.
The complainant said that the old gentleman walked
into a gin-shop, in which he was, and treated two ladies
to a few glasses of liquor, and then told the landlord to
give a drop to witness. After a little while the gentle-
man employed witness to drive him and one of the ladies
to the Angel, at Islington, and upon arriving at that
place, desired to be driven back to town, and after re-
turning to the city refused to pay a farthing.
The defendant said that the demand was the greatest
piece of impudence in the world, for the truth was that
he never was in the man's coach, or in any vehicle
whatever. . . . .

The LORD MAYOR—Are you serious in denying that
you were driven about as the driver says: The defen-
dant—Certainly, my Lord. I would by ❑o means re-
fuse to pay if I had employed the poor man, but I
solemnly declare that I never was inside his coach.
Inspector Brake said that the illusion under which
the defendant was suffering was very extraordinary,
and must be the consequence of the drink he had been
taking. The fact was, that the driver had actually dri-
ven the gentleman to the station-house in the coach, to
charge him with having refused to pay the fare.
The defendant—Driven, me to the station-house ?
No. I never was in a coach at all, lam convinced.
Inspector Brake—He was evidently suffering in an
uncommon way from drink, my Lord. He had no mo-
ney in his pockets, although it appears he had plenty in
the public-house.
The complainant said that the lady jumped out of the
coach at the Post•office, and probably had the gentle-
man's money with her.
The defendant—A lady steal my money ! Oh, fie,
no such thing.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, sir, you must pay the fine.
The defencient—Oh, certainly, my Lord, if you say so ;
but, as sure as I am here, I was never in a coach ; I
was never off my legs.
