POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Yesterday Mr. Rothschild, accompanied by Alderman
Humphery and Mr. Travers, of St. Swithin's-lane, ap-
peared before Alderman Gibbs for the purpose of com-
plaining of what he considered to be a very serious and
disgusting nuisance, and requesting the attention of the
authorities to its nature and possible consequences, more
particularly as the necessity of sanitary observances was
becoming more urgent and palpable.
The Hon. M.P. for the City of London then proceeded
to statesthat but a short time before he entered the
Mansion-house, the gravedigger of St.. Stephen's, Wal-
bFoolc, the burying ground of which was adjoining to
his premises, had, in digging a grave, removed a coffin
for the purpose of making room for another, that a most
offensive of had proceeded from the spot, that
bones had been scattered about in the endeavourito
supply accommodation for the new sepulture, and that
the grave, from its present appearance was incapable of
containing:an additional tenant according to the reason-
able allowance to depth. It seemed to be the object of
the person employed in digging the grave to sink one
coffin into another with the view of affording accemmo_
dation for the coffin then ready to bo inhumed ; and
under such circumstances it was thought to be the duty
of thpse:who were peculiarly liable to annoyance from
opening the ground, to represent the fact, although it
was certainly very seldom that a burial took place in the
ground.
.Alderman Humphrey said, he had advised Mr. Roths-
child to apply at the Mansion-house upon the subject,
in order that immediate stops might be taken to pre-
vent anything like contagion from such a nuisance in
the heart of the City.
Mr. Rothschild said, he believed that two years had
elapsed since a funeral had taken place in St. Stephen's
churchyard, but the effluvium arising upon the opening
of the ground on occasions of the. kind, from the
de-
composed animal matter, was quite intolerable.
Alderman GIBBS asked Mr. Rothschild whether he
did not pay for the privilege of opening windows from
his premises into the churchyard?
Mr. Rothschild replied in the affirmative, and ob-
served, that he was the more untitled to protection on
that account.

Alderman GIBBS said, there was no doubt as to the
justice of the claim to protection from every nuisance
which was capable of being remedied,
and informed the
gentlemen who attended to make the representation that
immediate inquiry should take place.
The complainant then retired.
Mr. Ramsey, the churchwarden of the parish of St.
Stephen, was then sent for by Alderman Gibbs, and
informed of the matter complained of, and the church-
warden sent for the beadle, who attended forthwith, to.
gether with the gravedigger. In the meantime Bradley,
one of the principal Mansion-house officers, visited the
grave, by direction of Alderman Gibbs, to take its di-
mensions.

The beadle said it was the fact that the gravedigger
had been contriving to make room for: the new ctffia
which was at that moment on the ground ready for in.
humation;, by pressing the coffin which presented ijE elf

Mr. Justice ErtLE said the case would ho fruitful of
legal points.
Mr. MARTIN then continued his address, and having
concluded, called the following witnesses:— -
Mr. Statham, clerk of the County Court, stated what
had been the proceedings.
Mr. Justice ERLE summed up, telling the jury that in
his opinion the plea of justification was not made out, and
as he sanctioned the arrest, the plaintiff was entitled to a
verdict. He would, however, as important to the mo-
tion in the court above, ask them to say whether, in their
opinion, the plaintiff had represented himself as William
Ireland. They must also say what damages he ought to
receive. His Lordship summed up on both points
strongly in favour of the plaintiff, but concluded by say-
ing that if the plaintiff had misrepresented himself, and
led the defendant into the error, he should think the
smallest sum sufficient compensation.
The jury said they were of opinion the plaintiff did not
so misrepresent himself, and gave Damages, 501.
Leave was then given to move to enter a nonsuit, and
Mr. MARTIN said he should also move, on the ground
of misdirection.
