POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Johnson, a man employed OR the Ipswich Rail-
road, was brou.„ht before the Lord Mayor, charged with
having robbed a fellow labourer, in whose house he
lodged, of clothes and money.
Inspector Todhunter stated that the prosecutor
charged the prisoner and his own wife, at the station
house with having robbed him and absconded from his
house, and the charge, which it was clear could be estab-
lished against Johnson, was entered against that person.
The wife, however, who was willing to appear before
the magistrate was, as a matter of course, discharged.
The prosecutor said he was surprised upon returning
home one day from work to find that his wife and the two
youngest children had de parted by the Orwell st. am
vessel for London. As no time was to be lost he took to
the railroad, and arrived to catch the party, with the
addition of the prisoner, who had evidently taken his
place in his wife's affection. He did not exactly know
what money his wife was possessed of when she eloped,
but he was in the habit of supplying her with money
weekly, and when he apprehended her she had nut a
farthing about her. The prisoner had between seven
and nine pounds about him.
The LORD MATDA—How long did the prisoner live in
the house with you ? The prosecutor—Upwards of
two years, and we always worked together. But lam
ready to forgive her all if she'll come back with me.
The wife of the prosecutor declared that she merely
came to London to see her sister, and the prisoner ac-
companied her as her husband's presence was necessary
at home to support her two elder children, and keep
things straight and comfortable in her absence. The
prisoner never induced her to come away to London,
and her husband's clothes were merely borrowed for a
time.

The LORD MAYOR—Then you are willing to go back
with your husband ? The prosecutor's wife—Certainly
I am. I never intended to stay away from him.
The LORD MAYOR—What could have led you to such
an act ? The prosecutor's wife—My sister is married
to a miller somewhere in London, and I wanted to have
a little conversation with her.

The prosecutor—'Tis true, your Lordship, she has a
sister here who is married to a miller. But I'll think
nothing of what has taken place it she'll only come back.
I'll forgive both of 'em.
The LORD MAYOR—Then you don't wish to prosecute
the man any further ? The prosecutor—No, I won't
hurt either of them at all.

The prisoner—l didn't take any things of his. I only
took care of them for his wife, and I'm sure we're as in-
nocent as the two children she hss with her.

Tha LORD MAYOR (to the prosecutor)—Well, as you
seem to think that no harm has been done, I don't wish
to disturb your tranquillity. As for you (to the pri-
soner), if the charge had been pressed against you, the
probability is that under such circumstances, transporta-
tion would be the penalty you would have paid for your
baseness.
The injured but forgiving husband then took his
clothes and his wife and children, and a sovereign, which
it appeared his wife had handed to the prisoner, upon
their departure ; and Johnson, to whom the woman said
all the rest of the money belonged, pocketed the rest, and
the whole party walked off to settle the affair more com-
pletely in a public-house.
It was stated by a gentleman who had experience in
railroad n attQrs, that the ancient British system of com-
munity of wives was fast reappearing with the railroad
system, and that such scenes as the above described were
frequent upon the various lines.
