POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION HO USE.

Yesterday William Hilton, the driver of one of the Clap-
ham stage coaches, appeared before the Lord Mayor to
answer the complaint of Mr. Kerr, the Russia merchant.
The complainant stated that the defendant, who is the
true cut of a pugilist. had for the last two years annoyed
him in the streets by following him, and in the most ruffian-
like manner demanding sixpence from him as a debt, al-
though not one farthing was due. Some days ago the
defendant was on an omnibus, and cried out to the witness,
" Hollo, old fellow (or old boy), why don't you pay me the
sixpence you owe me ?" And after that time he followed
the witness thrqugh the streets, demanding the sixpence,
and using the most insulting language. Witness had, in
mayoralty of Sir Peter Laurie, made a similar complaint,
and would have repeated it soon after, were it not for the
trouble and annoyance of being confronted with such a
fellow.

The defendant assured the Lord Mayor that the com-
plainant had not seen him more than once within the last
five months ; that he (defendant) certainly made periodical
applications for the sixpence which Mr. Kerr owed him, but
not in the manner described.

The complainant declared that he did not owe the de-
fendant a farthing. A Gentleman, who resided at Clap-
ham, was present when the assault was given, and promised
to attend at the Justice Room and give evidence. It ap-
peared, however, that the Gentleman was afraid to attend,
on account of the ruffianism of the coachman.

The LORD MAYOR—It seems, then, that this man is
well-known as an insulting person ? Complainant—He is
the terror of the Clapham road. The Gentleman to whom
I allude called at my counting-house, and said, " I really
cannot appear against this man, for if I do he certainly will
insult my wife and family for it."
A resident of Clapham mentioned that the introduction
of omnibuses into Clapham was the cause of all this work.
The drivers of the stage coaches were endeavouring to keep
up the long price of eighteenpence for the journey, and the
omnibuses carried for half the money, and of course were
generally patronised. The defendant thought fit to attack
not only the drivers and conductors of these vehicles, but
the passengers, and the complainant came in for a very
large share.
The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant whether he had
bail ready ? Defendant—No ; I've got no bail.
The LORD MAYOR—You must find bail to keep the
peace towards this gentleman, and I hope the public will
hear something of this.
Defendant—l'll bring up bail to-morrow, if your Lord-
ship will allow me to go.
The Lotto MAYOR—Very well. I shall expect to see
you with your bail to-morrow.

Defendant (nodding his head insolently)—" Yes, yes,
I'll be here." He was then walking away with a sneer,
when—
The LORD MAYOR said—Come back here. I see what
sort of a fellow you are. You shall not stir until you pro-
cure bail. We will see whether it shall be exactly as you
please here.
The defendant's countenance instantly dropped its saucy
expression. He most humbly begged pardon of the Lord
Mayor, and of anybody else whom he might have offended,
and assured his Lordship that he should be punctual to-
morrow with his bail.

The LORD MAYOR—Take care that you do. You see
I am not to be trifled with ; and if you don't attend, there
shall be a warrant speedily at your heels.
A female of respectable appearance complained to the
LORD MAYOR against one of those pests of society, bro-
kers' appraisers, named Eld. She stated that the land-
lord had cruelly sent in a distress warrant, although she
had offered to him the money that was due to him for the
rent. The appraiser, upon seizing upon the furniture for
the amount (21. 65.) signed the inventory, but perceiving
her silver watch on the table he snatched it up, and took
it along with him.
The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant why he took the
watch ? The defendant said that the lady had snatched the
inventory before he had had time to enter the watch in it.
Without the watch there would not have been enough pro-
perty to cover the amount of the debt:
The complainant said that the property taken away and
under the lock and key of the appraiser was considerably
more valuable than it was stated to be, and that the de-
fendant had perfected the inventory before he saw the watch.
A little boy who was present during the distress scene
confirmed this statement.

The LORD MAYOR (to the appraiser)—Do you persist
in detaining the watch ? Defendant—lf your Lordship
desires it, I will give up the wateh.
The LORD MAYOR—Do you refuse to give it up, I ask
you ? The defendant (evidently in terror)—No, my Lord,
Mon% do any such thing. There it is, my Lord.
The LORD MAYOR—There's your watch, my poor wo-
man, and I'd have you to get out of the hands of such ras-
cals as soon as you can. No doubt you will have to pay
some expenses, but do not pay a farthing more than the law
allows.

It will be recollected that at the conclusion of Alderman
Farebrother's mayoralty, a poor girl, named Anne Good-
win, whose sight was for ever destroyed by the accidental
discharge of a blunderbuss, was brought to the Mansion-
house. Alderman Farebrother made inquiry into the case,
and the public sympathy was greatly excited, and efforts
were made to get admission for the sufferer into the School
for the Indigent Blind, in St. George's Fields. We are
glad to be able to state, that at the late election she was
chosen by a majority of upwards of 2,000. Alderman Fare-
brother took himself to the election upwards of 1,000 votes
in her favour.
