MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAYS)

Mr. Alderman COPELAND sat for the LORD MAYOR
to-day.

A knight of the shopboard was charged by a boy named
Newcomb, a porter at the Spread Eagle, Gracecliurch-
street, with violently assaulting him near the Mansion-
house yesterday. From the statement of the boy it appear •
ed, that the tailor being a little the worse for liquor, and
not being able to see what was before him, ran against him ;
this the boy resented by shoving the tailor off the pave-
ment, who being determined not to bear such mal treat-
ment with impunity, knocked the boy down, and for the
purpose of stretching his legs which had long been cramped
on the shopboaid, fell to and kicked him most shamefully.
The tailor said the complainant was the first aggressor.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND said the assault was a most
gross and sbameful one, and ordered the tailor to find b,il,
unless he could compromise the matter with the boy,
which Le failed to do.

A woman named Bennett was charged by the city po.
lice, No. 60, with being drunk in the Minories at an early
hour yesterday, and with having in her possession between
eight and nine pounds, of which she could not give a sa•
tisfactory account.

The prisoner, on being called upon by the Alderman to
account for the possession of the money, entered into a
long, rambling, and improbable statement of having re-
ceived it from a person named Aggesson, the mate of the
Mary Anne, North Shields, in part payment of a sum of
23L due to her from him. That she had met Aggesson
at Temple Bar, not having seen him for many
years, and that be then gave her ten pounds.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND thought the story a very im-
probable one, and ordered the case to be remanded until
Wednesday, to give Bennett time to bring Aggesson
forward, directing the officer to keep the money in the
meantime.

Edward Warren was fully committed to Newgate,
charged with defrauding J. L. Scordet and Co., of St.
Helen's-place, of several sample boxes of indigo, of the
value of 21. and upwards.

The prisoner was in the employ of the prosecutors, and
had been directed by them to take the indigo to the St.
Katherine Docks, at which place it never arrived, the
prisoner stating that he lost it in the Alinories.

MALBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY..

William Palmer was charged with robbing his em-
ployer.

Mr. Ralph Phillips stated that the prisoner had been
employed during the last three weeks as groom and porter
to his father, who was a glass and lamp manufacturer, No.
190, Regent. street, and that during that time a great many
articles had been missed from the different warehouse rooms
on the premises. Last night he hail some conversation with
the prisoner upon the subject, and from what then passed,
he gave him into custody, and had him lodged in the
station-house. He afterwards, in company with Thomas
Farrant, a police constable, went to the prisoner's lodgings
No. 17, Newnham-street, Edgeware-road, and in
various trunks and drawers he found a great variety Of his
father's property, consisting of bronze and figure lamps,
gloss jugs, decanter stoppers, cruets, tumblers, 14c.
Thomas Farrant, police-constable, produced the pro_
perty found at the prisoner's lodgings, and also a number
of pawnbroker's tickets for other property pawned at
several shops. This morning the prisoner asked him if
he was to be prosecuted, and on being told he was, he said
he was sorry for it, and that he stole the property through
distress.

The prisoner who again said it was distress that drove
him to the commission of that offence, was then fully com-
mitted for trial.
