POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March, 11

MANSION-HOUSE.—A man, who did not give
his name, but who icoked like a respectable me-
chanic in the iron trade, presented himself in a ra-
ther excited state, before Alderman Hale, to cocn-
plai❑ of a grievance. He said be went to Ostend on
Monday morning in a Belgian steamer, having a
situation to go to there at 2/. 12s. 6cl. a week ; but
directly lie landed he was asked for his passport,
and as he had not got one, he was at once marched
off to gaol, while his little bundle, containing three
shirts, some stockings, about half au ounce of tea,
and a quarter of a pound of sugar, was overhauled
four or five times. He was kept in prison till the
vessel sailed again, and then marched on board like
a felon, and was that the treatment which ought to
be extended to a British subject he should like to
know ?

Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—What do you come
here for ? This is a police court.
Applicant—Come here for ? Why, I think it is
my duty, as a British subject, to make my treat-
ment known to the Lord Mayor.
Alderman Hale—l very much regret the incon-
venience [you have been put to ; but it seems to
me that you brought it all on yourself by going
there, in violation of their laws, without a pa s-
port.

- Applicant-4 did not wish to violate their
but I consulted a friend, and he told me I should
not want a passport, as I was going no further from
Ostend.
Alderman Hale—We have nothing to do with it
here. If you have any complaint to make, you had
better go the Foreign-office.
Applicant—l think it shameful that a British
subject should be so treated. I was offered the
means of supporting myself and family, and pawned
one of my coats to enable me to go there, but they
kept me in gaol from the moment I landed till
they put we on board the steamer again • and I say
here what I could not say there—that they kept me
in such a state I could not sleep. I consider that
I have been cruelly treated.
Tbe applicant then quitted the court in a state of
gfeat excitement.
