POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Dan was brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having stabbed John Conway with a knife.
From the statement of Conway, it appeared that he
had been employed on Saturday, in Upper Thames-
street, to unload a van, a job which the prisoner, if sober,
would have had to perform. He afterwards went into
a public-house, in the tap-room of which sat the pri-
soner, who immediately culled him an undermining vil-
lain, and at length proceeded to the use of such language
as was quite intolerable. Conway found it necessary to
give the prisoner a blow, which he supposed put an end
to the disagreement. He was mistaken. The prisoner
let loose at him again with a still fouler tongue; and,
after having been earnestly expostulated with on the
danger of using such language, received another blow,
which was returned with a stick of a knife. The instru•
went penetrated Conway's arm to a considerable depth,
and completely disabled kim. The prisoner had been
cutting bread and meat just before the transaction. The
words used by him were just such as might be expected
from a dissolute man who had been cut out of his work
by a sober man. A policeman who was passing walked
into the house, and seeing the blood pouring from Con-
way's arm, asked the prisoner why he committed so des-
perate an act, to which the latter, who was cutting meat
with his knife, replied that the complainant had struck
him three times, and he had used the knife in his own
defence.

The prisoner—So he did strike me.
Tho LORD MAYOR—You deserve to be struck for
baying used such horrible language.
The prisoner—lt was undermining conduct i❑ him,
and I am a much older and a smaller man, and he should
not have struck me.

The LORD MAYOR—That will not excuse the use of
the knife. lam sorry to see that such an un-English
practice is gaining ground. If you are the smaller man
that is no reason you should have struck at the man
with a knife.

The prisoner--After he had struck me twice I held up
my hand to defend myself, and then he struck the knife
and wounded himself.

The LORD MAYOR-It is an offence which must be
dealt with in the most serious manner. I shall commit
yodfor trial at the Central Criminal Court.
The prisoner was accordingly committed.
John Henry was brought up for final examination
upon the charge of having attempted a burglary in the
house of Mr. Willey, cutler, of Fish-street.

The prisoner had been seen a few nights ago endea-
vouring to openithe door of the house by turning a key
of his own in the lock, while a confederate acted as a
blind by standing before him. Upon being taken into
custody a skeleton key was found upon him, and he
dropped in the station-house a piece of black wax, such
as housebreakers are in the habit of using in taking im-
pressions of keys for their own purposes. Two nights
previously an attempt had been made by three persons to
get into the same house, but they were disturbed by a
neighbour, who, however, could not swear to the identity
of the prisoner as one of the gang. The prisoner had
been two years ago charged at Worship-street with hav-
ing broken into a house. lie now adhered to the reso-
lution he had formed upon being first brought before
the Lord Mayor, not to disclose his address, from what
he called tenderness for the feelings of his mother, who
never could bear the idea of such a shameful accusation;
and upon being reminded that he had before laboured
under a similar charge, he declared that he was as in-
nocent of the one as of the other.—(A laugh.)
Sentenced to imprisonment for two months.
