PUBLICATION OF POLICE REPOIiTS

,
IVIANsION-Honste7—A gentleman waited yes.
terday upon the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of communicat-
ing to his Lordship the • thanks of the widows and orphan* of
the Poyais emigrants, and of several of the men who luckily
survived the celebrated adventUre,, for the benevolent interest
he took in their behalf, and for having forwarded the subscrip-
tion for their. relief. They had all returned to Scotland,
and been most kindly received there, and the calamity with
which they bad been visited in the land of horrors were
in some degree alleviated in their consequences by the uni.
versal sympathy that prevailed. Their thanks, too; were
given to Mr. Prince, and the other tradesmen in the City
whose exertions bad formed the groundwork of the public con-
tributions for their service. Above all, they felt indebted to
the public press for the.vigorous manner in which it arrested
the scheme in its infancy, and finally effected its destruction.—
The communicant stated, that between 1 and 200 persons bad
fallen a sacrifice to the delusion, and so widely had the rage for
colonizing, upon the representation of those who were interest-
ed, spread, that multitudes were preparing to resign themselves
to the same hazard in the hope of wealth and of every other
sort of prosperity. This danger the press had averted, by pub-
lishing the true condition of the " Land of Promise," the object
of the speculators, and the horrible consequences of an implicit
reliance tri the description given by the Poyais authorities; and
numbers were saved from misery, despair, and death, which
reigned with unlimited power in the burning sands and pesti.
lential swamps of the Mosquito shore.
The LORD MAYOR expressed himself highly gratified at the
intelligence which he had •received, and observed, that the
" Poyais case" was a striking instance of the great importance
of the practice of reporting the transactions of Courts like that
in which he then presided. His Lordship stated, that he was
much perplexed in what manner to dispose of an orphan of one
of the emigrants : she had been put on • shore in a miserable
condition, to which she had been reduced at Poyais. Part of
the subscription had been applied to her maintenance, but all
the money was now exhausted. The poor child was not, he
observed, admissible into the Foundling Hospital, as the Glover-
nors said her case was not comprehended in the rules of the
establishment.

His Lordship, after some consultation with the Chief Clerk,
determined to apply to the Female Orphan Asylum, although
admission into, that institution was a matter of great difficulty,
there being as much canvassing requisite at for a seat in Parlia-
ment. In a case of this nature, however, he trusted those who,
had the. power would aid in procuring admission for so great,
an object. -
One of the orphans has been adopted by a lady of great re-
spectability, and two others have been ever since humanely
taken Care of by Mr. Joseph Prince, of Basinghall-street; a
fifth has been taken into a Scotch. family. From information
received •froin Honduras, it appears that a great number of
the 46rtunate emigrants remain at Belize, where they have'
obtarfied a livelihood as menial servants and labourers. •
The two brothers, Edward and Janie; Ilantmond, who were,
charged on suspicion of having been concerned in stealing the
parcel, containing 2,9001. in bank-notes, from the person of the
porter tollessrs. Snow and Co. underwent a final examination.
A gentleman, who attended on behalf .of the prosecutors,
stated that although circumstances of strong suspicion hail come
to their knowledge respecting the prisoners, yet they could not
now adduce evidence sufficient to warrant a further postpone-
ment of the :case, there being no proof, with the exception of
that Iv, ch ;iVent testate that they were seen running from the
spot ii' ',time the robbery was committed:
na 4I 6 i Ell). 141 ,1' on discharged the prisoners, and gave them
a forcib o'adrnonition. They owed the imprisonment they had
It
sustained, if they were innocent, to their character as thieves;
and so long as they persisted in the course that had been the
object of their choice, they, would be subject to similar inconve-
niences. His Lordship remarked, that this case formed another
instance, if other instances were wanting, of the necessity of the
publication of police reports. Ilere an immense. robbery was
committed, and the police were unable to obtain any evidence
that could lead to the detection of the offenders, when, in con-
sequence of the publicity given to the proceedings, a witness
came forward; and gave evidence which might have been of
the utmost importance, and have led to the conviction of the
offenders, had the person robbed been able to identify them.—
His
Lordship observed' further, that in the course of his expe-
rience fists libief.Mkestrate, he had daily witnessed instances
of the ptilitiand liiy,h, importance of the practice to the police
and the amazing effect it produced when
oroof itileglriyeatit
ftfiereettercidP; °llis was' convinced that the publication of dilate
proceeding, did notinrejudite the minds of jurymen. In the whale
tr'
course Of his eXperience,.he had never .witnessed a case in which
a' dirry had given an iMproper verdict, in consequence of 'a
prejudice excited against•the prisoner by the statement of the
initiatory proceedings against him. The feeling was invariably
the 'other . Way... jurors wete men of. at least . common sense,
ands they ii4ere'itit inoid 'influenced, by such. statements, than
the mind rile ihidge was influenced by the opening statement
of .4 xxo*.ttiing,Cmgll.§.o.l,l/1/RE4SSeilht ixiglSFictid in the
perfbrmance or Magisterial duties, that it was of great
utility that these . Courts should as a general ride, be open
to the public, for it frequently occurred that persons entered an
office from 'an Interest in the issue of a case; who proved in the
course of the inquiry to be in the possession Of , most material
facts. The publication of what, passed often aided the inquiry
in the highest degree, in bringing forward all ex iiting evidence,
either with 'respect to the innocence or guilt of' a pritioner. It
was also of' the highest, importance, in another point of view;
to the tradesmen of the metropolis, by checking the career of
thud, by exposing the constantly varying devices of swindlers;
in a more speedy and effectual manner than any other mode
of communication could accomplish. The shopkeepers are
thus put upon their guard against every description ,of
impositinn. The fear of immediate exposure way more ter-
rible and effective in thousands of cases, than the fear of the
laws and restrained many, daring spirits whom nothing else
could keep within bOunds. • Undoubtedly the buiinesa of a
Magistrate Weill(' be greatly increased if this restraint were di-
minished. Without confounding the abuse with the great use
of the practice, he must admit that its virtues were conspicu-
ous in its effect in securing the pure administration of public
justice by placing the proceedings of the Magistrate, as well as
of all the parties, under public inspection.

A CAUTION TO WiTivEssEs.--Very consider.
able Interruption in the dispatch of business at
the Courts of the Old Bailey having been occa-
sioned during the late Session in consequence of
the irregular attendance of persons bound over to
give evidence on the trial of prisoners, the Com.
MON SERGEANT, on Friday, gave public notice in
Court, that those witnesses who do not imme.
diately appear on their names being called by
the officer, will not in future be allowed their
expences.

• The Pedu Gazette says, we have been informed
by several planters in the neighbourhood of this place, that
they do not expect to realize More than half a crop of cotton
' this season.—(( New York Paper, Sept. 27.)
On Sunday night. the house of Mrs. KEMP, in
Rodney's-buildings, in the New Kent-road, wail entered by
some thieves in the temporary absence of a man who was left
in charge of the premises by Mrs. Kemp, who is in the coun-
, try. The man, after having spent a few hours with hii friends,
returned to the above house to sleep. On going in, he found
the place in confusion ; several bundles of clothes, and tithe-
articles, lay strewed about the floor. He instantly gave in.
formation of the circumstances, when an officer of Union
hall proceeded there, and, on examination, found that tho
thieves had entered the street-dOor. by Means of a picklock-key.
—On further search, the wine-cellar was discovered to have
been broken open, out of which several bottles of wine
had been taken, and drank on the
.premises, by persons who
had entered the house, as the empty bottles were left behind in
the kitchen. No trace has yet been diseovered of the robbers.
Amongst a variety of property taken away, were some old gold
and silver coins, together with a tinier medal of the Coronation.
A rather extraordinary circumstance occurred
Sunday week, at a village in the eastern part
of the county of Warwick. A young couple pre
seated themselves to be joined in the holy bands
of matrimony.. Every preparation was made
without delay. The ceremony commenced, and
proceeded without interruption as far as that part.
where the man puts the ring on the woman's finger,
and says, 64 With this ring I thee wed," &c.—
In pronouncing these words, the bridegroom
chanced to smile on his beloved, which was re-
turned with the same gentleness by the fair one.
Clergyman became indignant ; he Imme-
diately threw off his surplice, and left the altar
in haste. Every intercession with the worthy
pastor to proceed with the service was in vain;
end the young couple left the church apparently
In the deepest distress.—( Steordshire Adver-
tiser.)
