MANSION-HO USE.
Johnson, who has undergone several examinations
in the Justice-room on the charge of forging a check
on Messrs. Barnett and Co., for 461. 75., was finally
examined, and committed for trial.
INDEPENDENT PAUPERS.—SeveraI paupers who
had been sent to work on the grounds of Mr. Wad-
dington, at Sydenham, in Kent, having returned to
their parishes and complained of the fare and treat-
ment there, the LORD MAYOR sent for the gentle-
man who was to have given them employment, and
entered upon an investigation into the merits of the
complaint. A number of the paupers who have
been for a series of years living upon the parochial
funds were in attendance, and the scene was
altogether a most extraordinary one.
One of the paupers said—Please you, my Lord,
the beer is very queer, for Mr. Waddington gives
it so heavy a dash of Adam's ale that, saving your
prettenee, it isn't worth a tinker's
The LORD 111.5.v0n.--How ,is •the bread ? -Pauper
—No great shakes; but it would be better if there
was more of it. But, my Lord, the place we sleeps
in was an old stable, and there's ever so many rats
about ; ay, and mice too.
The LORD MAYOR. -But it is easy to get rid of
companions of that kind.
Pauper—Not at all, my Lord, they wont go.
They gets up into the ticken of our beds, and they
kicks up such a rumpus that none of us can sleep a
wink. I'm blessed if ever there was anything like
it.—(Great laughter.)
Another pauper—Please you, my Lord, a body
might sleep in spite of the rats, but we ha'nt got
nothing over us barring a bit of a rug when we
shoves our bodies into bed.—(Laughter.) Please
you, my Lord, the fleas is so hungry in country
places that they'd tear the flesh off your back.—(A
laugh.) But that a'nt all; for I'm blowed if the
other varmint don't make us tear ourselves.
A third pauper—My Lord, there's no ',virtue
at all in the place. One of the boys robbed me of
my loaf the first day I went.
The LORD MAYOR—How do you like the work?
Pauper—lt's too hard, please you, my Lord.
You're expected to dig half a mile afore you gets
your wittles.
Mr. Booker, one of the Bishopsgate officers, said
that the persons who had just complained were the
most idle fellows in the whole parish. They came
home from Sydenham at four o'clock in the morning
half drunk, with pipes in their mouths, and knocked
him up, and w.hen he refused to give them money
they threatened to go and rattle up the Lord Mayor,
to give them justice.
Mr. Waddington produced several witnesses, who
declared that the establishmont was most admirably
conducted, that the food was good and plentiful,
and that the labour was by no means hard.
One of these residents stated that he had a parish
within a mile and a half, which, if he pleased,
would relieve him; but he greatly preferred the
agricultural institution of Mr. Waddington. When
asked whether there was any truth in the assertions
of the complainants, he declared that the whole
meaning of the business was that they didn't like
work.
Mr. Waddington banded the following list of
regulations to the Lord Mayor :
" Food—The men who are admitted into this institu-
tion are allowed the following daily rations of food, viz.,
coffee and bread in the morning, one quarter of a pound
of bacon to dinner, or an equivalent in beef or mutton,
with broth, bread and potatoes ; one pint of good beer,
or coffee and bread at night. The allowance of bread is
two pounds per day.
"Labour—Each person who can labour well on land
or at some useful trade is required to work six hours per
day ; and these who have not been accustomed to such
labour are required to work seven hours per day, until they
can perform sufficient work in less time.
" Additional Rewards—Persons working over-time are
rewarded for the same with additional articles of food,
after the rate of two pennyworth per hour. No person
is allowed overtime who does not perform a reasonable
portion of work in his appointed time; and persons con-
tinuing to neglect their work or behaving improperly will
be dismissed.
" Location on Land—Persons of good character, and
of indosnious habits, will ultimately be presented with an
opportunity of bring located on land on their own account,
and possess the means of becoming independent of public
charity or parochial."
The LORD MAYOR, after having made the most
scrupulous inquiries into the nature and conduct of
the institution, expressed his decided approbation
of the plan, and said that he should recommend it to
general adoption.
FORTUNATE INTERFERENCE OF THE POLICE,—
Mr. H. Mills, an attorney, residing at Bristol, was
charged with drunkenness.
The police constable at two o'clock yesterday
morning saw the defendant, much intoxicated, pass-
ing up Whitcomb-street, Haymarket, which unfor-
tunately abounds with sinks of infamy. Directly
afterwards the gentleman fell senseless, and with
the assistance of another constable he conveyed him
to the station-house.
Sergeant Macdonald on searching the defendant
at the watchhouse found a very elegant gold watch,
jewelled in eight holes; a gold snuff-box, and .56/.
in cash, on his person.
Mr:CONANT said it was very fortunate for the
defendant that he had fallen into the hands of the
police. He should inflict the penalty of ss.
The gentleman expressed his satisfaction for the
interference of the police in the first instance, and
for the accommodation which had been afterwards
afforded him.
On leaving the office he enclosed 1/. to the Com-
missioners of the Police for the sergeant and con-

stable.
The woman charged with obtaining money from
the Nobility and Gentry by false pretences, whom
we particularly described yesterday, was again
brought up, and remanded until Tuesday.
MARY LEB ONE.
DARING BURGLARY.—Thomas Preston, John
Slough, Mary Ann Jones, and Geo. Hallam, were
yesterday placed at the bar for re--examination,
charged with breaking into and entering the dwel-
ling house of John Howard, No. 10, Dorset-mews,
Dorset-square, and stealing therefrom a quantity of
wearing apparel, table linen, two watches, and vari-
ous other articles. The particulars of this case ap-
peared in our Paper of Thursday.
The prisoners, who said nothing in defence, were
fully committed for trial, and Preston arid Jones were
likewise committed on the charge of stealing the
workbox, it being identified by Mr. Stopford Jones
as the property of his wife.

AN UNIVERSAL GENIUS.—Just at the close of
the office a man was brought up by a police consta-
ble of the B division of police, followed by a mob of
several hundred persons, on the following charge : '
The defendant presented a very grotesque appear-
ance, being nearly covered with soot and lime.
On being placed at the bar he threw himself into
a theatrical attitude while _Ashton, the constable,
gave his evidence.
The defendant gave his name George _Hamilton,
and declared that he lately had had a call to preach.
It appeared that about one o'clock in the uftec-

C4-.W.7
noon t e defendant ma. e h . - ..earance in Orchard-
street, Westminster, and commenced preaching a
sermon opposite-to the King's Head, when he was
soon surrounded by hundreds of persons from. the
Almonry. Duck-sane, and the adjacent courts and
alleys. The preacher, after promising his auditors
eternal . purgatory for their sins and wickedness,
which was received with mingled groans and hisses,
concluded his discourse by inviting them all to a
splendid dinner and wine at the . Grove Tavern, at
'L.-. Camberwell. This announcement was received
with loud cheers and applause, and the shouts rent
- the sky when the preacher assured his flock that
they should all be conveyed down to Camberwell,
at his expense, in hackney-coaches and cabriolets,
and after dinner he would then further expound to
them the Scriptures. However repugnant the
preacher's doctrines might be in the first instance,
snhoomutasn

minute, and the preacher went off to Palace-yard,
and ordered several coaches and cabriolets to drive
to Mr. Gallon's, the landlord of the 'King's Head, in
Orchard-street, to convey a party of ladies and gentle-
men to dinner at Camber well. The cabmen and jarvies
were all on the alert in an instant, and in a short time
Palace-yard was almost deserted, and Orchard-
street tilled with vehiclei. The King's Head was quite
besieged, and in the last cab appeared the preacher,
who invited his auditory to take their places, and
also the landlord of the house whose name he had
used. The landlord declared that he knew nothing
of the dinner at Camberwell, and would have no-
thing to do with it. In vain did the preacher assert
hat the dinner and wine were ordered, but the
drivers all declared una voce that they would not
stir without the money. The preacher appeared to
want that necessary article; and, notwithstanding
ids oratory and the assurance that he had had a call,
the cabriolet man drove him to the .station-hotel
and gave him in charge. •
The preacher, in reply id the charge, said that if
the cabman bad taken him and his friends down to
Camberwell, where he had ordered dinner for the
wicked sinners of Westminster, they would have
been sure to have got their dinner and money, but
now it would be entirely spoiled. He was most
particularly astonished that Mr. Gallon, the land-
lord, should doubt his character, for he would preach
a sermon, sing a song, or fight or run any man of
his weight in the neighbourhood, and he had mane
persons in the outer office who would back him to
any amount.
Mr. WHITE asked him what place he belonged to ?
The defendant replied that he belonged to St.
Luke's, Chelsea ; that he had been in the employ of.
Mr. Freeman, the landlord of the Wellesley Aerns,
in Wellesley-street, and that he gave very important
evidence at the inquest held on the body of Miss
Elms, who was murdered in that neighbourhood.
In answer to further questions the preacher said
that he had entered into an engagement with Mr.
Smithers, the manager of the Orange Theatre, at
Pimlico, and was to make his appearance next week
as Gloucester, in Richard the Third. If he had
done wrong he wished to know whether a license
could be granted to him to preach.
Mr. WurrE remanded him for disorderly conduct.
THAMES PULIC.6
Thomas Craske, a middle-aged man of respectable
appearance, a porter in the employ of Messrs.
Roberts, Brodie, Foreman, and Co., merchants, in
Rood-lane, Fenchurch-streer, was brought before
Mr. BRODERIP, charged with stealing ivory, wine,
castor oil, horns, drugs, and other goods, the pro-
perty of his employers, and of the St. Katharine's
Dock Company.—Committed.
MARINE ROBBERIES.—PhiIIip Campbell, a young
man of good address, who on this occasion was
placed at the bar with only a shirt, trousers, and
stockings on his person, his other apparel which he
had on when apprehended having been identified by
the prosecutors, was again brought before Mr.
BRODERIP, charged with breaking into the ship
Isabella, in the Lendon Dock, and the ships Marl-
borough and Valleyfield, in the West India Dock,
and stealing watches, money, linen, a note of hand
for 480 guilders, sailors' wearing apparel, and some
valuable papers and other property. The prisoner
was stated to be the son of the late -- Campbell,
Esq., who for many years filled the office of Consul
to this country from Denmark, and at whose death
he came into possession of considerable property,
which he has since squandered, and has been lead-
ing a very dissolute life for some time past. The
prisoner's family and connexions-were also said to
be highly respectable, but not one of them came
forward. The robberies were committed under cir-
cumstances of great daring, utmost unequalled in the
annals of crime.
On Tuesday evening, after the crew of the
Marlborough had left the ship, Crurnpton, a dock
constable, thought he heard some one moving about
on board, and on going on deck he found the pri-
soner, who, on being questioned, said he came to see
the mate, but the names he mentioned not being
those belonging to the mate or to the ship, he was
detained, and it was ascertained that he had forced
off the padlock of the companion, broken open the
rabic-door, and emptied the contents of a chest,
containing money, Guava jelly, and wearing ap-
parel, which was strewed about the floor. The
screws of the chest had been ingeniously drawn our,
and the prisoner had filled his pockets and hat with
tobacco, money, and linen he had taken out of the
chest. These articles were all identified by the
seaman to whom they belonged. At the same time
two seal-boxes belonging to Captain Wildgoose, the
Master of the Valleyfield, which had been broken
into in a similar manlier a fortnight ago, were found
upon him, and he admitted that he had effected the
robbery of the Valleyfield, turned the mate's berth
upside down, and abstracted the contents of a tin
box, consisting of a gold welch, two silver watched,
a quantity of colonial coins worth fifty pounds, the
note of hand for four hundred arid eighty guilders,
and some other valuables, which, with the exception
lof the gold watch and seal-boxes, he had disposed of
at different shops in Clerkenwell. The gold watch
he had given to a female named Overton, residing
in Spencer-street, Commercial-road, who said she
had pledged it for him, and it was produced and
identified. The prisoner had on, when taken into
custody, a new blue jacket, which Fisher, the mate
of the Valleyfield, claimed. He had also a new
blue coat, and a variety of silk handkerchiefs. The
prisoner also had on when apprehended two odd
blots belonging to Captain Fergusson, of the Isa-
bella, in the London Docks, and a new hat belong-
ing to one of the

sorter came on board, and represented that he had
left him on board in the evening, and the next
morning when lie came on board he found the pri-
soner was gon% and that during the night the
lockers in the Captain's state room had been broken
open and ransacked. The prisoner had rigged him-
-elf out with other persons' clothes anti linen, and
left his own on hoard.
The prisoner maintained the most profound silence
during a long investigation, and refused to say a
word in defence.
Mr. BRODERIP said these robberies were the most
daring he had ever heard of in the port of London,
and committed the prisoner for trial on five distinct
charges. He directed the prisoner's own hat and
shoes to be restored to him.
