POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
. A man named James Prior, for many years a porter in
Leadenhall-market, was brought before the Lord Mayor,
upon suspicion of having been concerned Little several other
persons in robbing Mr. Kemp, of No. 23, Eastcheap,
of a pocket-book, containing bank-notes to the amount of
between 301. and 401.
Mr. Kemp stated that as he was going along near
Leadenhall-market, at a little after seven o'clock on Thurs-
day evening, he was pushed by some fellows, who were
collected about the corner of Camomile•street. He en-
deavoured to get on quietly, but he received a violent shove
from some person with a knot on his shoulder, who proved
to be the prisoner. He immediately turned round, and
put his hand upon the knot, but he had scarcely done so
when the prisoner struck him
,and knocked him down, and
then made off. Six or seven fellows then surrounded him,
under the pretence of giving him help, and in the confusion
he was robbed of his pocket-book. He was also kicked
and tripped up by the gang, one of whom had the appear-
ance of a Jew. The latter person dragged at his gold
watch, which was very valuable, but which was protected
by so powerful a gold chain that the thief tugged in vain
at it with all his might. As soon as he could the prosecu-
tor went in pursuit, and he saw the prisoner in a public-
house near the market, and the Jew thief entered, and
called the prisoner " Jim ;" and, from all the circumstances
combined, the prosecutor had no doubt that the prisoner
was one of the gang.
A man named Gibbon said that as he was passing he
saw the prisoner push against Mr. Kemp, and Mr. Kemp
push against the prisoner's knot. The prisoner then struck
and knocked down Mr. Kemp and went away, and six or
seven persons then got round Alr. Kemp, and appeared to
be hustling him, and soon afterwards he complained of hav-
ing been robbed.
The prisoner was going to his own house, from Leaden-
hall-market, with some pieces of fat, his perquisites, upon
his knot, when, in passing the corner, he received a blow,
not on the knot, but on the small of his back, from Mr.
Kemp. He certainly returned the blow, which he had
done nothing to deserve. He (prisoner) asked, Mr. Kemp
to give him in charge, if he wished, and he afterwards
went into the public-house, but he saw nobody there whom

he knew.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you not see persons about Mr.
Kemp, after you struck him, ill-using him ? Prisoner—
Not at all.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, do you not recollect the Jew
fellow who called you " Jim ?" Prisoner—Not a creature
said a word to me.
Mr. Kemp—Why, when I was going to follow the Jew
fellow who tried to get my watch, the prisoner held me, to
prevent me. A person called, too, at my warehouse on Sa-
turday, and told Inc he thought I might have my pocket-
book back if I wished, bu he said that I must not appear at
the Mansion-house.

The Prisoner—l know of no Jew fellow. I only struck
because I was hit. I didn't stop to see any disturbance.
Mr. Kemp—When the prisoner ran away several tried
to rob me.. One struck me on the hat, another tried to
trip me up, The prisoner was afterwards found hidden
under a cart.
The Prisoner—What would I be acquainted with such
characters for ? I am entrusted to collect 2001. or 3001.
at a time, and who has ever seen me with people of this de-
scription ?
The LORD MAYOR asked the officer whether the pub-
lican into whose house the prisoner went on the night of
the robbery recollected the circumstance that a Jew called
the ,prisoner " Jim ?"

been.subjected.
