POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Yesterday John Moody, the driver of a glass
coach, was charged by the sergeant of the guard at
the Bank of England with having wilfully broken
the rank of the soldiers as they marched to go upon
duty.
The sergeant represented the case as by no means
an aggravated one, but in consequence of insults re-
ceived at various times from drivers in the streets
of London, the commanding officer had directed
that the Lord Mayor should be informed of any
future interruption of the kind.
The sergeant added, that in order to incommode
the public as little as possible, he had ordered the
guard to go in single file, and in two separate divi-
sions. He admitted that the defendant drove slowly,
and that no abuse whatever had escaped him.

The LORD MAYOR spoke in terms of high praise
of the conduct of the sergeant and his men, and
directed that the defendant should pay the expenses

incurred.

Mr. Alfred Taylor and Mr. Edward IV. Hardy,
two young gentlemen who hold situations in the
East India House, were summoned before the Lord
Mayor.
Mr. Edward Jenkins, who is in the Accountant-
General's office in the East India House, while in
his office, received a letter from Mr. Alfred Taylor,
dated from the Ship Tavern, Leadenhall-street, ex-
pressing a wish to see him, in order to have a con-
versation, which had taken place on the preceding
Wednesday, explained. The letter stated that he
was at liberty to bring a gentleman with him, if
he chose. He therefore asked Mr. Sharp, a gen-
tleman who is in the same office, to accompany
him, and went with that gentleman to the Ship,
when he was ushered into a back parlour, in which
were the two defendants. Mr. Taylor asked him
to admit having used certain expressions in the
course of a conversation which had passed between
them at the East India House, but he refused to
make any admission of the kind, stating at the same
time his surprise how he could have been so
misunderstood or misinterpreted. At this moment
Mr. Taylor struck him violently on the mouth with
the back of his hand. As the assault was com-
pletely unexpected, he was off his guard, and Mr.
Taylor contrived to pinion him and hold him with
one hand, while with the other he (Mr. Taylor)
seized a stick, which was no doubt brought in for
the purpose, and began to exercise it most roughly.
Witness then succeeded in wrestling the stick out
of the hand of his assailant, and in the struggle they
fell together, but the former managed to lay the
stick across the shoulders of the latter, and said that
in his report of the circumstance he must riot forget
that the same stick had been laid across his own
shoulders.—(A laugh.)
The LoRD MAYOR—Then, I suppose the mean-
ing of it was that duelling was intended ? Mr. A.
Taylor—No, my Lord, Mr. Jenkins has no dispo-.
sition in the world to such breaches of the peace as
duelling comprehends.

Mr. Jenkins—When he began to use the bludgeon
upon me, I called out to my friend (Mr. Sharp) to
go for a policeman. My friend immediately tried
to get out of the room, but Mr. Hardy put his back
against the door to prevent that assistance from
being rendered, and said he (witness) had had
enough.
The LORD MAYOR—And you had stated to him,
in the first instance, that the impression as to the
words you used arose from a misunderstanding of
what you really did say ? Mr. Jenkins—Certainly
I had. I never, for a moment, supposed that I
should receive a blow.
Mr. Taylor—DA I not call you a liar ?
Mr. Jenkins—l dare say you did. You were not
particularly delicate in your language.
Mr. Taylor—Did I not call you a shuffling coward ?

The LORD MAYOR—I see the feeling by which
you are influenced, and, depend upon it, you will
not get so easily over this business as you think.
Mr. Taylor—The fact is, my Lord, this arose
out of a disagreement which I was deputed to settle.
The LORD MAYOR—And so you thought the best
way to settle it was to knock„the man down ? Mr.
Taylor—l found it necessary to call him a coward,
and to threaten to kick him out.
The LORD MAYOR—Then you must send for bail.
Mr. Hardy—The bail is ready.
The LORD MAYOR—And we'll include Mr.
Hardy, who kept his back against the door.
'Mr. Hardy—Oh, with all my heart.
The LORD MAYOR—The case is a gross one, and
I think the Directors ought to see whether these
young men do not get more money than their labour
is worth. If they had not plenty of idle time upon
their hands, they would not have engaged in so
gross a transaction.
The defendants were then bound over to answer
the complaint at the sessions.
