PRICES OF SHARES

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
A Mr. Groves, of Peckham, complained to Sir Peter
Laurie that a sort of lottery had been established at
No. 7, in the Old Jewry, and that it was carried on evi-
dently for the purpose of getting hold of the money of
simple or unwary people, whom the bills and labels were
calculated to draw into the purchase of " good luck."
The complainant stated that he had purchased the ticket
No. 5,050, which stated a day for the drawing. He,
however, found that the drawing did not take place on
that day, after having incurred the expense of travelling
into town to witness the caprice of the goddess to whom
the temple in the neighbourhood of Cheapside had been
raised; and he also found, that although the ticket
assured him who held it that the whole lot would be
drawn prizes, the prize to which he became entitled was
u not worth twopence. He had, he added, every reason to
suppose that the whole concern was one of those extra-
; ordinary humbugs which the genius of the present day
• alone was capable of producing, and he accordingly felt
an interest in checking its progress by appealing to the
Chief Magistrate.
Sir PETER LAURIE, who gave credit to the com-
plainant for the discrimination which led him to place
the present class of sinister dealers higher in the scale
4 of ingenuity than the cadgers and maters of former
; days, immediately dispatched a messenger to the
" lottery," which was stated to be carried on in the
house of Messrs. Taylor and Hewitt, tea dealers, at the
corner of the Old Jewry, with his compliments, and his
) wish to communicate upon the subject.
jA young man of respectable appearance, who said
5 his name was Newman, accordingly waited upon the
; Alderman, and (Mrs Groves having re-stated the grounds
ri of his complaint) declared that the lottery was con-
ducted upon the most honourable and liberal principles,
' and that when the complainant had called and repre-
sented his objections, and what he considered to be his
grievances, the amount of the ticket was offered to be
returned, but rejected. The distribution of property to
) the value of 2,500/. was the result of the drawing, and the
) prizes consisted of Chines jars, vases, and pictures, and
; other articles of drawing-room decoration.
Sir PETER LAURIE—How long is it since this affair
commenced? Mr. Newman—lt began in February last.
Sir PETER LAURIE—And there has actually been a
1 drawing? Mr. Newman—There has been one, and Mr.
Groves, having drawn one of the small prizes, repented
his enterprise, and wanted his fire shillings ; but -he
also required to be remunerated for his trouble and dis-
) appointment.—(A laugh.)
sm The complainant—l little thought that, at a place
where I was in the habit of purchasing my tea, I should
have met with such treatment.—(Laughter.)
Sir PETER LAURIE—I see that this ticket is numbered
5,050. Is it possible that 5,050 persons were such fools
1% as to try their luck at such a game ? Mr. Newman—
You must not judge from the number of the ticket the
actual number of purchasers. The buyers choose from
10,000 tickets ; and Mr. King, an accountant, drew two
3 beautiful jars, estimated at one hundred guineas.
7
Sir PETER LAURIE—I have no doubt at all that a few
of the friends of the concern come in for the valuable
)3 prizes.—(Laughter.) But Mr. Groves, although a cus-
s tomer to the• house, was not, I dare say, considered
amongst the number. Pray where is Mr, Taylor, whose
234 name is mentioned at the head of the responsible parties?
Mr. Newman—He is, I regret to say, in a lunatic asylum.
Sir PETER LAURIE—And advantage is, I suppose,
85574410. i taken of his melancholy condition to carry on this lottery.
Are you not aware that you have been committing an
4534 illegal act in carrying it on ? Mr. Newman—We had
09( no idea of the kind at its commencement, and now it is
ended. Everything has been conducted on the fairest
principle.
The complainant—Who could have imagined that a
° tradesmen I dealt with for tea would have ventured to
[3B' act in such a manner ?
2 Mr. Newman—You were offered your five shillings.
° The complainant—But I must be paid my expenses.
6% Sir PETER LAURIE—I am actually tired of cautioning
514 the public against the various plans by which money
3 is wheedled out of their pockets. Every day produce's
new dupes, who venture, with their eyes open, into all
sorts of snares. In this case the complainant has cer-
s
6 tainly put a period to the existence of this Chinese lot-
-2 tery by the exposure he has given it here. I would ad-
" vise him to consult his attorney on the subject of what
he considers to be his claim upon the parties whose
1.% names are subscribed to the tickets.
An old gentleman, who belongs to the Mansion-house
t household, designated the Lord Mayor's young man,
stated that his two daughters had drawn two prizes, the
value of which was about a penny each.—(A laugh.)
Sir P. LAURIE—The notification that all the tickets
would be prizes, has, no doubt, had the effect of giving an
5 extensive sale, but, I trust, that the moment anything
34 of this kind makes its appearance in the City, the Lord
44 Mayor will be informed of it.
The complainant returned thanks to Sir Peter Laurie,
and said that he should certainly act upon the excellent
r`" advice he had received.
1;11 A young man, named James Edwards, was brought
j up, charged with having defrauded several carriers by
ti an ingenious mode of deception.
) The case attracted a great number of tradespeople to
301 the justice-room.
)g Mr. Thomas Moore, of No. 16, Old Change, carrier,
stated that at half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening,
2 the prisoner, who was unknown to him, brought a ham-
O per to the office addressed as follows:—"To the Earl of
4 Liverpool, Buckstead, Sussex, per railway, May 15th,
e
3 1844," to go by one of his carriers, and claimed for car-
d riage of the hamper 13s 2d. Witness objected to pay
2
▪ so large a sum ; but, observing on the ticket, which was
one of W. Kenworthy's of the Axe in Aldermanbury,
0) that 6s 6d had been paid upon the hamper at Shrews-
o • bury, he thought it best to pay the amount required,
3 which he did accordingly. The prisoner said it,ovas a
16 hamper of mineral water, an article which his Lordship
s) had weekly from Shrewsbury. Witness, when the pri-
soner had departed, shook the basket to ascertain whe-
• ther it contained liquid, but found it did not, and
suspecting that something was not completely
734 right, opened it and saw instead of the mineral
3 water, a heap of bricks. Witness then ran
out in the direction taken by the prisoner, but could not
'7734 find him. On returning home, however, he met hUn
is carrying another hamper, which was directed to " the
6 Hon. Mr. Cavendish,' and contained stones, as was
e afterwards ascertained. The prisoner, upon being
sspoken to by the witness, threw down the hamper, and
5 attempted to escape, but was taken into custody.
6 Mr. T. J. Holt, an agent to Messrs. Kenworthy and
Co., of the Axe Inn, stated that the prisoner was not in
,tu the employment of that house, and that the hamper did
2% not come from their house ; and that the bill was forged,
,5 although the heading of it was genuine. How the pri-
soner got the printed copy he did not know.
a A City policeman stated that he took into custody the
6% prisoner, who had in his possession seven tickets filled
P,
u purporting to come from different carmen, and ad-
o dressed to several parties, five blank tickets, and the
L enormous number of 101 pawnbrokers' duplicates for
4.)78 articles of all descriptions. The prisoner said, upon
being apprehended, that it was distress that had driven
him to the act.
Mr. R. Gifford, book-keeper, at the Elephant and
6S Castle, Newington, stated that at half-past nine o'clock
17, on the morning of Saturday last, the prisoner brought a
q% rush basket to the office and produced a ticket, saying
4ho wanted 19s. sd. for it. Witness hesitated about pay-
i, ing so much money, especially as twopence was all the
profit derived by his employer, but the prisoner observed
that if there was anything wrong there was Kenworthy's
4 ticket, and they could set it to rights. At last witness
6 paid the money in a sovereign and took sevenpence in
change. The basket was addressed as follows:—" The
139
en Hon. Wm. Cavendish, Compton-place, Eastbourne,
4,,? Sussex, per Kenworthy Rail, thence per coach,
,
' May 15, 1844." It was sent according to the address,
but it was soon returned, and it was found to contain
bricks and other rubbish, and Messrs. Kenworthy knew
nothing at all about it.
The policeman produced a book containing French
prints of the worst description that he found in the pri-
soner's hat.
Sir PETER LAURIE, in committing the prisoner for
atrial, said, if he had the power, he would punish the
; fellow more severely on account of the book, which no
1 doubt was for sale, than for the offence with which he
4 was directly charged.
L CLERKEN WELL.
John Shea, and Margaret Shea, who said she was his
wife, were charged with an assault on police-constable
Cale, 54 E, and with assaulting three other constables.
It appeared, from the evidence of the officers, and of
several civilians, that the prisoners, who were perfectly
sober, were fighting in Warwick-place, Gray's Inn, be-
tween six and seven on the previous evening. Cale went
up, and desired them to separate, and taking the woman
a by the shoulders, ordered her to go in an opposite direc-
t% tion to the male prisoner, so that the quarrel might not
I be renewed. She seemed willing to do so, but when he
attempted to remove the scale prisoner, she returned,
I,l' and both used the grossest language. Finding remon-
!N strance useless, Cale took John Shea into custody ; but
17° he had no sooner done so than the ruffian knocked him
down on the pavement. The officer rose, but was twice
t
more thown upon the flags with the same dreadful vio-
% lence. When Cale attempted to raise himself from the
ground the fourth time, Shea threw himself upon him,
and, thrusting his hand between the policemen's leather
57, stock and his throat, and forcing his knuckles against
'34 his windpipe, would unquestionably have strangled him
had not several civilians come up. at the moment, and
with much difficulty dragged the prisoner away from him.
One of these persons deposed that upon their arrival
in the constable was quite black in the face, and seemed to
be in a state of suffocation from the prisoner's violence.
The prisoner kicked Cale on the body, and endeavoured
I to inflict injuries on the most delicate and vital parts
of his frame. The female prisoner seized 38 Gby the
hair of the head, when he came to the assistance of his
brother officer, and attempted to excite the mob to
rescue John Shea. On their way to the station-house,
in the morning, both prisoners made a most violent and
determined resistance—and Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, Jarvis,
41 E, and police-constable 95 E, received some severe
blows from them.
The prisoners laughed during the examination, and
seemed to treat the matter with the greatest indifference.
The male prisoner, who is a desperate and powerful
fellow, appeared in Court without a coat. He refused
to make any defence.
Mr. GREENwoori sentenced him to a month's impri-
sonment in the House of Correction, without fine, and
the female`to twenty-one days' imprisonment.
IVORSHIP-STREET.
Thomas Smith, a young man of very respectable ap-
pearance' who was described as a wine agent, residing
in Great Chart-street, Hoxton, was brought before Mr.
Bingham on a charge of having disturbed and an-
noyed Mr. Charles Packer, a surgeon, in Pitfield-street,
by ringing his door bell without lawful excuse.
The complainant stated, that, about twelve o'clock on
the preceding night, the bell at his door was violently
rung, and immediately afterwards his assistant came up
stairs, and .informed him that some one had called and

CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE begged to ask the Chancellor
of the Exchequer when the report of the Commission
appointed to inquire into the Custom-house frauds would
be ready to be delivered to Hon. Members. He per-
ceived by the Times, that that journal was in possession
of the report, as it commented upon it in terms not very
complimentary to the Custom-house, but quite as com-
plimentary as the Custom-house deserved.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had no knowledge of how that journal got possession of
the report. He was aware that it was in type, and as
soon as ready for delivery it would be laid on the table.
ANATOMY ACT.
Mr. BORTH WICK rose to bring forward his motion
for a Committee of Inquiry into the operation of the
Anatomy Act, and into the allegations contained in the
petition of Mr. Roberts, presented on the 25th of
March last. He should spare the time of the
House and the sensibilities of the Right Honourable
the Secretary of State, by abstaining from having the
petition read at;the table; and he should only recur to
such portions of those allegations as he considered
the House were called on by public principle to notice.
The question was whether the Bill which the Hon. Gen-
tleman had brought before the House, and which was
now the law of the land, had effected those great objects
at which it aimed, or whether it was required, as the
numerous petitions laid on the table of the House showed,
to be remodelled, for the purpose of really carrying out
those objects ? He was of opinion that the Bill required
careful remodelling. Its principle was to prevent the
traffic in dead bodies, but there was nothing in it to pre-
vent the traffic in parts of dead bodies, and according to
the statements in the petitions, there were numerous
instances in which that traffic was still followed. He
believed that the Right Honourable Gentleman would
state that such an allegation was not capable of
proof. If such were the case, - there was the
greater reason for granting the Committee, in order
to set the matter at rest. Had he been in the House in
1832 he should have paused a long time before he con-
sented to the passing of the Bill. He thought that the
Bill created even greater evils than those which it was
intended to remedy. The law was entitled to the ut-
most consideration of the House, because it affected the
interests of the humblest portion of her Majesty's subjects.
It was calculated that about 600 bodies were now annually
used for dissection in the different schools ; but if the
antiseptic process discovered by Mr. Roberts were intro-
duced, 200 bodies would be sufficient.. If he got the
Committee he asked for, he would be able to prove that
Mr. Roberts had been grossly ill used. Mr. Roberts
had received certificates from ten of the most eminent
professors of surgery, approving of his plan.
An HON. MEMBER here moved that the House be
counted, and there only being 31 Members present, the
House adjourned at Half-past Five till this day.
