POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE,
Mr. Forster, of the flange of Forster and Smith, of
Naw City Chambers, appeared to complain against a
druggist who hid been employed by the ship's-husband
of the Nunez, to supply medieices to that vessel on her
voyage to the coast of Africa, six months ago. He
stated that he had given due notice to the druggist to at-
tend, but it did not appear that the defendant meant
to keep his word to appear upon his defence, although
the charge was a very serious one.
Alderman PIRIE, who presided, stated that the case
was one of very great public importance, and he should
hear the circumstances whether the accused made his
appearance or not.

The defendant having been called several times by the
officer, and no answer having been returned,
Mr: Forster proceeded to state the particulars.
Having heard from the Captain of the Nunez that con-
siderable sickness had taken place on board the vessel,
which had been detained in the rainy season on the
coast of Africa, he made the inquiries. which might be
reasonably expected. In the course of the conversa-
tion, the Captain said that his-medicine chest appeared
to have been badly fitted up, and that the medicines
were so adulterated as to be altogether useless. As
the directions issued by the house in which he (Mr.
Forster) was a partner, with regard to every ship with
which they were connected, were, that 'no expense
should be spared in the medicine chest, he gave orders
that the medicine chest of the Nunez should be ex-
amined, and Mr. Battley, of Fore-street, having ex-
amined it, the following letter was received from that
gentleman's house :

" Cripplegate, Jan. :8,1841.
" Sir,—Mr. Battley desires me to say, that he has
examined the medicines you sent here yesterday, with
the following result :—The calomel be finds to be the
best of the medicines which the chest contains, but net
perfectly in a pure stt,te. The Dover's powder, rhu-
barb, and jalap, exceedingly bad, so much as to be ob-
vious to a casual observer. With regard to the tine.
tures, they contain little or no spirit, and are evidently
not made according to the direction which the College
of Physicians lays down. The rest of the medicines
and preparations are for the most part very indifferent.
Mr. I3attley further desires roe to say, that Mr. Ban-
bury, of the firm of Messrs. Allen, Banbury, and Co. of
Plough-court, has likewise inspected the medicines, and
perfectly coincides with Mr. Battley in his opinion of
them.—l am, Sir (for R. Battley), your obedient servant,
" ED WARD JO W E TT."

—Upon finding that the medicines supplied for such a
pl...cc as the coast. of Africa were of such a description,
he (Mr. Forster) determined, for the public safety, to
institute an inquiry, particularly as Sir Henry Hilford,
the President of the College of Physicians,
expressed a
decided opinion that something ought to be done with
the vendor of such vile medicines ; and as the distribu-
tion of medicines in merchant ships depended upon the
captains, he ascertained that the practice of supplying
bad medicine to vessels of the kind was carried on to a
most serious extent, more especially at Liverpool.
Alderman PaRSE said that the shipping interest wero
greatlyindebted to Mr. Forster for having come for-
ward upon this occasion. He wished to know whether
the
cma
Captain
ihad
Jamestaken
pa
an
dy
doofn
,the f medicine.
the
ship
Nunez,
stated
that the men had refused to take any of the medicine,
and he could not himself take any of it, ' He lost all
his men on the voyage.
Alderman PIRIE—Would they have taken the med:-
eines if they had been good ?
Captain Paddon—No. They would not have taken

any thing except salts. They were most obstinate ; I
tried to take some myself, but I could not. Out of
eleven all died except myself and three blacks.
Mr. Ifc:;,ry ll2nnel, of Apothecaries Hall, was then
called. He stated that he had examined the rhubarb
and jalap, being the principal medicines used on voy-
ages of the kind, and neither of them possessed any one
character of those i.regs. It was impossible to say
what the stuff called rhubarb was.
Mr. D. B. Hanbury of the house of Allen, Hanbury,
and Co., Plough-court, stated that the rhubarb and
jalap described had none of the properties of the real
medicines. Tho other contents of the medicine chest
were, to say the least, very inferior, and the proportion
of spirit in the tinctures was, if any, extremely small.
Alderman PsusE was anxious to know whether there
was any check upon practices such• as were thus ex-
posed ?—A medical gentleman• said, that a censor from
the College of Physicians was the only check, and the
visitation was very unfrequent.
Mr. Chandler, druggi3t, of Fore-street—The censor.
or deputation from the College of Physicians, has visited
me but once for 11 years. I know several shops in
which they never have been to examine the medicines.

Mr. Hanbury looked at the bill of parcels, and :•aid
that at his counter the medicines would be sold at the
sime price, and be of the first quality. In furnishing
medicine chests they would be at a lower rate.
Alderman PIRIE said, that the matter disclosed at
the justice-room was very properly brought forward,
and he was convinced that what had taken place would
render great service to the public, used as it would be
by the press.

HATTON.GARDEN.
A young man named Carr, the keeper of an oil.
shop, in the Liverpool-road, was charged with having
broken a number of w►ndows under the following extra-
ordinary circumstances :

Mr. Miller, of No. 6, Mount-row, Islington, stated
that for nesrly twelve months his windows, and the
windows of Lis neighbours had been almost daily
broken, and although the stones, brickbats, &c., were
known to have come from the defendant's premises, and
a watch hat• been kept day and night, no proof could
be obtained that the prisoner was the mischievous and
malicious delinquent until yesterday morning, when he
was seen by witness to throw from' his garret window
a stone, which broke three panes of glass.
Mr. Steele, who attended on behalf of the defendant,
here addressed the Magistrate, stating that his client
would not deny the charge of breaking the three squares
of glass. He regretted the act, and would make any
compensation.

Mr. GREENWOOD said then there was an end of the
case. If the money had not been forthcoming, he
should have committed the defendant to the House of
Correction.

The scene at this stage was most extraordinary ; up-
wards of twenty ladies and gentlemen rushed towards
the Magistrate, exhibiting bags containing stones, which
they said had smashed their windows. Some of the
missiles were of a very large and dangerous description,
and had broken heads as well as glass. The damage
done was immense, and for a long while the neighbour-
hood had been in the greatest terror and excitement.
Mr. Steele—Here is only one charge proved against
my client; he has admitted his guilt and nude atone-
ment, and I will answer that there shall not be a repe-
tition of this.

Sergeant Pagan, of the N division, remarked that
injury to an immense extent had likewise been done in
Islington by the explosion of packets called infernal ma-
chines. The front of the house of Mr. Ladd, of the
Penton Arms, Pentonville, and several others, were
partially destroyed by the ignition of these instruments,
and there was good ground for charging the accused
with these fiendish acts, he having been seen near Mr.
Ladd's a few minutes previous to the explosion. The
prisoner's house was so situated that he might easily
have committed all the damage that was so justly com-
plained of by the ladies and gentlemen present.
Mr. Steele—You cannot go into the matter further
without proof. ! again repeat that this conduct will
not occur any more.

Mr. Greenwood—lt is a most abominable thing that
the lives and property of respectable persons have been
so endangered ; I, however, cannot now proceed further
in the matter.

Tho defendant having paid the damage done to Mr.
Miller's property, left the Court amidst the hisses and
groans of a very crowded Court. There were at least
500 stones produced which had been flung throngh
windows.

MR. HORACE SMITEI'S " MONEYED MAN.'
—Tne novel reading public will doubtless be glad to learn
that this new production of the popular author of " Bram-
bletye House," " Reuben Apslcv," &c., is immediately
forthcoming. From the title of this new work, " The
Moneyed Man ; or, The Lesson of a Life," much curio-
sity has been excited to see how a subject so recently dra•
matically touched upon by Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer,
will be treated by a brother novelist, whose reputation
stands so high as that of Mr. Horace Smith. The influ-
ence, use, and abuse of wealth, is a theme offering such
an extensive field *illustration, that it is far from unlikely
that the view of " Mammon," taken by the author of
" Rejec:ed Addresses," may diff..r in more than one mate-
rial point from that of the worthy Baronet. However this
may be, we are at least sure of a work of originality from
the pen of Mr. Horace Smith.

The 3linister of Public Instruction in France is
said to have given an order that drawings shall be made of
'the windows of the Cathedral at Mons, and lithographed
copies sent to every numismatic society in France, the ob-
ject being to assist the learned in such matters, in their re-
searches on the subject of the coinage system of that coun-
try. These windows, it appears, painted about the thir-
teenth century, represent different scenes connected with
the fabrication, of money at that period. In one compart-
ment, workmen arc busied in placinc, the coins in, or with-
drawing them from, the machine for stamping them ; in
another the assayers are weighing them, and in a third
the money changers are coma in search of the newly..
coined pieces. Around, are tables covered with shovels
and vases full of coin.—Athenceunt.

JOHN THOROGOOD.—At the Chelmsford Petty
Session to-day, John Thorogood was summoned, amongst
a number of other defaulters, for refusing to pay two
Church-rates, amounting to 13s. 6d.—After some objec-
tions to the rate, Thorogood said he meant to dispute its
validity, and exhibiting a 5001. Exchequer Bill, said,
you see I have something to do with the Government—
I have this to assist me in disputing the validity."—Tho
magistrates could not, therefore, proceed further against
him, and the Churchwardens will proceed against bias in
the Ecclesiastical Court, —Clielailferd Chronic* of Friday.
