POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A CANDIDATE FOR SIX MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT.—
ThoHlas Smith, who was wretchedly-attired, but whose
manners and language were superior to the class who
generally make their appearance at the bar of a police-
court, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with
breaking a pane of glass in one of the lamps in Charlotte-
row, close to the Mansion-house.

Police-constable 613, said that last evening ho was in
the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house and saw the pri-
soner throw a stone at the lamp. He spoke to him, and
the prisoner said that he wished to be taken into custody.
Alderman Lusk—And you obliged him. (A laugh.)
Policeman —Yes, your worship.
The prisoner did not deny the charge. He said that he
was quite destitute, and had for six days and nights been
exposed to the inclemenoy of the weather. He had never
been in a workhouse, and he bad a great objection to be
known as a pauper. He begged to be sent to prison for
six months, and at the expiration of that time he hoped to
be able to maintain himself.

Alderman Lusk—How old are you ?
Prisoner said he was 30, and had supported himself by
hawking, but had done nothing for the last six weeks.
Alderman Lusk said it was disgraceful for a young,
healthy, and evidently intelligent man like the prisoner
not to work for his support. lie would not give him six
months, but he would sentence him to 21 days hard labour.
JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—Timothy M4Cabe, a diminutive
urchin, between 13 and 14, was brought up on remand,
charged with picking pockets, and the offence was clearly
proved.
Police-sergeant Wickham, said that he had not been able
to obtain any further information respecting the prisoner.
Francis AFCabe said he was a shoemaker, and father
of the prisoner. His son bad been convicted of a similar
offence at Worship-street, and got 21 days. He was after-
was convicted and got three days and 12 lashes. He was
useful to witness in his trade, but he would not work, and
had been absent from home for a fortnight.
• Sergeant Wickham said that the prisoner told him he
had got 21 days at Epsom, and five days for another
offence.

M'Cabe, in reply to Alderman Lusk, assured the magi-
strate that he had given the prisoner no excuse to mis-
conduct himself, but that he was incorrigible. He had
endeavoured to get him into a reformatory, but without
Success.

Alderman Lusk said he would see what could be done
about obtaining his admission into a informatory, and
remanded him for a week.
