POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

7'imothydllurphy was charged by Dean, a person employ-
ed by the Commissioners of Stamps, with having sold un-
stamped newspapers, the Weekly Police Gazette and the
rivopenuy Weekly Dispatch.
Witness saw the defendant sell 14 of those papers in the
course of the morning, near London-bridge.
The LORD MAYOR, upon looking over the papers in
question, said that they contained political articles, articles
of domestic intelligence, and most mischievous matter,
calculated to do great injury to society, to diminish the re-
venue, and to interfere with the fair trader in legitimate
newspapers.

The defendant denied that he had sold any of the papers,
or that he had ever seen any of the bundle produced.
The LORD MAYOR—There is no doubt you are the
offender, and I must stop this horrible nuisance. You
shall go to Bridewell for three months.
A boy was also committed to Bridewell for three months
for selling similar unstamped papers, and
The CORD MAYOR said he should invariably pursue the
same course towards every body guilty of the offence.
On Saturday, A old woman, named Anne Smith, was
charged under the following odd circumstances .—Parish,
a City policeman, stated that on the night before, the de-
fendant addressed him at the Mansion-house, sa3ing that
her inside was bad, and she begged him, if he had the
slightest feeling, to give her a small glass of brandy and
water. Instead of finding relief from the medicine Parish
kindly gave her, her features became suddenly distorted,
and she was apparently seized with convulsive fits. To
Parish's surprise, it now became evident that she was
partly in liquor ; and on his conveying her to the Compter,
she was so frightened at hearing the surgeon talk of draw-
ing several ounces of blood, that she became very calm, and
offered to go home. Parish said that her case at first ex-
cited such sympathy that 7s. were collected for her, it being
supposed that she was enceinte.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, she is nearly 60 years old.
A Policeman—No, my Lord, she is only 54.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Hobler—She does not look now in the way you
speak of. I hope, young woman, you were not delivered
in the streets of a wisp of hay or a bunch of old rags ?
(Laughter.) Defendant.—Oh, my Lord, I never said any
thing of the kind. I was really ill, but not of that illness.
It was worse nor that ; but I can't mention it to your Lord-
ship, barring you please to see me in private.—(Laughter.)
'The LORD MAYOR—YOU will. IN so pod as to excuse
me ; my curiosity does not extend to your private affairs.
Parish—She appeared to rave a good deal when she was
in fits. There wasn't a person who saw her that didn't be-
lieve she was serious.

The 111414? M4IP4-,--:AVIAt did she rave about ? Pa-
rish--She spoke very incoherently ; she talked of fried fish
and bars of iron.

- The LORD MAYOR—Aye, she shall have bars of iron to
look at, if ever I see her here again. Mind this, old Ivot
man—if ever you come here to 11M 31gVP' fits again,
you shall go tOt Pridewoli, as sure as you love strong liquors,
- Laughter.)
Mrs. Smith then departed, evidently rejoiced at her
escape.
