POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--.--(TIIIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

John Francis, Patrick Ilurley, sen., and Patrick Hurloy,
jun., workmen at a new building in Mincing -lane, were
charged with stealing four dozen of Madeira and port
wines, the property of Messrs. Dawson and Co., from their
wine cellars.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Blackhill, of
Messrs. Dawson and Co.'s, Detective Pearse, and other
witnesses, that the prisoners were employed in building the
adjacent house, 14, Mincing-lane; that a hole was made
in the wall find the wine taken out of the cellars. The
prisoners were all found drunk on the premises when taken
into custody.
The Lord Mayor fined Francis £3 or two months' im-
prisonment, and Hurley 30s. or six weeks' imprisonment.
The boy Henley was discharged.
James Kirkham, clerk and collector, was charged with
fraudulently receiving and embezzling £1,550 of the monies
of the Inland Revenue Commissioners, and forging the
certificate of the Commissioners. The receipt of the money
and forgery was proved, and the prisoner was remanded till
Monday week.

THE NINE BOU.RS' MOVEMENT.

Yesterday an aggregate meeting of all the men
out of work, convened at the instance of the Con-
ference of the United Building Trades, was held in
the music-hall of the Surrey-gardens, to take into
consideration the determination of the Central As-
sociation of Master Builders, announced after 'the
meeting of their executive committee on Tuesday,
to enforce " the obnoxious document" on Monday
next upon all men resuming work under them. The
handbill announcing the meeting concluded with
this appeal :
" Fellow workmen,—Fail not to attend and show
your strength, and be ready to make a determined
stand till the master builders withdraw what would
be your badge of slavery."
The presence of some 7,000 or 8,000 men, all of whom
were admitted by ticket and the air of calm de-
termination which pervaded them as a body, varied
occasionally by ebullitions of enthusiastic feeling,
attested the response made to this invitation.
Among them were a number of non-society men—
how many it would be impossible to state. There
were also, it is said, some master builders present ;
but it may be fairly assumed that three-fourths, or
by far the greater proportion at least, of the vast
assembly were society men and adherents of the
nine hours' movement. The meeting was called
for 11 o'clock, but a* hour before that time the
men began to assemble. It was at first intended
to hold the meeting in the open air, within the
gardens, but a slight shower of rain beginning to
fall as the proceedings were about to commence, the
men were requested to repair to the music-hall.
Assembled there, the spectacle was not a little
imposing. The floor of the building and tho first
and second galleries were densely crowded. There
were but few in the upper gallery. The men gene-
rally, the younger and careless portion of them
especially, were in excellent spirits ; and the
marked decorum which prevailed, with the air of
intelligence which characterized them, was calcu-
lated to make one feel proud of them as a body.
At 11 o'clock the leadingmembers of the Conference,
accompanied by Mr. Potter, their secretary, a slim,
pale-faced young man, with light hair, and not
more apparently than 24 or 25, and who is a work-
ing joiner, made their appearance on the platform.
They were received with a round of enthusiastic
cheers. •
Mr. POTTER, the secretary of the conference,
moved the first resolution. It was as follows :
" The Executive Committee of the Central Association.
of Master Builders having determined to open their esta-
blishments on Monday next with the obnoxious ' document,'
although it has been condemned by all classes of society
asThoth arbitrary and unjust, this meeting, consisting of
society and non-society men, and supported by the working
classes of the country, publicly declares that it would be
degrading to themselves and insulting to those by whom
they are supported to resume work in any shop or on any
job where the document' is presented, and pledges itself
not to do so unless it is unconditionally withdrawn."
After adverting to the repeated attempts at media-
tion with the masters made on the part of the men
themselves, and by influential persons in their inte-
rest, but all in vain, Mr. Potter proceeded to say
that the " document" had been condemned by the
general opinion of the country as arbitrary and un-
just, and he put it to the meeting whether they
were now engaged ? (No, no.)
The resolution having been seconded, was put and
carried by acclamation, the whole of the vast assem-
bly holding up their hands for it to a man.
Mr. POTTER explained that the secretary to the
builders' foremen had communicated to him the
resolution agreed to at their meeting on the motion
of Mr. Carpenter :
" That, in order to bring about an amicable settlement of
the existing dispute, the interests of both employers and
employed would be consulted by a spirit of mutual conces-
sion, and thit, inasmuch as neither the nine hours' move-
ment on the part of the men nor the declaration re-
quired by the masters was approved by the public or de-
manded by the times, both the one and the other should be
withdrawn and the trade operations resumed."
He (Mr. Potter) trusted they (the men) would
never agree to such a concession, for if they did
they would loose everything, and the masters
would gain everything.
On the motion of Mr. CRAPPER, seconded by
Mr. PATCHETT (both artisans), the concession sug-
gested by the resolution of MrCarpenter, agreed to
at the meeting of builders' foremen in St. ames's-hall
—namely, that the men should withdraw from the
nine hours' agitation on condition of the masters
giving up the declaration—was unanimously re-
jected.
The proceedings, which lasted an hour and
a-half, then terminated with three ringing cheers
being given for the nine hours' movement.
