DNBSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 184 e.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION-HO USE.
The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received a
letter of which the following is a copy, from a tradesman
in Ireland, relative to a firm in London which pretended
to procure sums of money for those who might require
cash :

"Tuam, 19th Nov. 1846.

"My Lord,—As I presume the inclosed (similar ones
having come to other people in trade here) is from some
fictitious concern established for no good purpose, I take
the liberty of inclosing it to your Lordship that you
might take such measures as to prevent fraud, if any is
intended.—l have the honour to be your obedient servant,
"PAT M'HUGH."

The paper inclosed is directed from John•street, Lon-
don-fields, and signed W. B. Bosanquet and Co., factors
and commission brokers. After stating the extensive bill
transactions in which the firm say they are engaged,
and the care they take to prevent the bills which they
negotiate from having the appearance of accommodation
paper, they proceed thus:—" If you decide upon this
method of making a remittance for our commission at
any time, please to send post- office orders, as it has fre-
quently occurred that letters inclosing bank notes have
never come to hand ; as also a copy of the undertaking,
signed by yourself, when you will be remitted such bills
for the amount you request, us will not fail meeting
your approval. And should you require any bills oa
tradesmen or merchants in Ireland, we can furnish you
with most respectable bills, either payable at my
bankers in Dublin, or the Provincial Bank of Ireland,
Old Broad-street, London. Any time it should happen
you have goods on hand, and find sales dull or difficult,
and wish to make trial, by sending us part we will use
our best endeavours to turn them into money for you,
to advantage towards paying your bills as they become
due, or remit you the cash as they are sold ; this we can
attend to at any time, whether you require bills or no,
having a general shipping connexion."
His LORDSHIP said he had received letters from other
parts of Ireland, enclosing like information as to the
alleged dealings of the parties who promised so much ac-
commodation, and whose object appeared plain enough
to him, and every man who understood mercantile busi-
ness in London.

Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said that since he had
been in his present situation, several complaints had been
made, and copies of the pretended terms of accommoda-
tion had been transmitted to the Chief Magistrate. In the
present instance, however, it appeared that the Messrs.
Bosanquet and Co., who had pitched upon a respectable
name to trade with, were trying their luck with strangers.
Formerly they seemed to be satisfied with taking a round
of the provincial towns of England, and scouring London
itself.

The LORD MAYOR intimated that if any case should
occur before him in which he could chew the estimation

in which he held the transactions of the firm, he should
most heartily undertake the exercise of his authority.
Several persons were brought before his Lordship
upon charges of having smuggled goods in their pos-
session, and fined in different penalties from 10s. to 405.
each.

and that the whole of the testimony against him was
entirely false.
In reply to the magistrate it was stated that the officer
was a married man, and had always been considered a
steady one, but that he had only been about nine or ten
months in the force ; and
Mr. BlNGnam, without any observation, immediately
ordered the defendant to be discharged.
