IHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 15, 1845.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday Mr. H Cunliffe, a gentleman who, it was said, is
connected with Stock Exchange transactions out of the market,
appeared to answer the complaint of George White (police-
man 24), for having obstructed the pathway in Bartholomew-
lane and Capel-court, commonly called " The Stags"-alley.
Mr. Corney, the Deputy of the Ward, and some of the paro-
chial authorities and inhabitants, were present during the
examination.
George White stated that, on Wednesday, the Bth of Oc-
tober, he was on duty in the neighbourhood of the Stock
Exchange, where he was placed for the purpose of keeping
the jobbers away.
The Loan MAYort—You mean, to prevent the public-
way from being obstructed. You cannot know anything of
this gentleman as a jobber.
George White said he had been placed on the spot to keep
a free passage on the footpath, which was much obstructed
by the jobbers, to the. great inconvenience of the men of
business residing in the neighbourhood, and while in his
usual place the defendant walked up to him, and asked him
how he dared to allow three cabs, which were near Bartholo-
mew-lane, to stand in such a place? To which witness re-
plied that he had no power to prevent such a thing, and
that they were waiting for three gentleman who had
business in the building. The defendant said he understood
very well the system between witness and the cabmen.
Witness then called the servant of a gentleman to whom
one of the cabs belonged, and asked him, in the presence of
the defendant, whether it was not waiting for his master?
The man replied that it was, and Mr. Cunliffe then said to
witness, "Never mind, old fellow, I'll do for you if you give '
me but half a chance."
Mr. Cunliffe—l deny that.
White declared that the words he had used were the words
which the defendant had used. He then asked the defendant
his name and address, but the defendant refused to give him
either, and told him he might find them out; after which he
walked to the bottem of the court, and on his return said to
witness, " Come along, I'll walk with you to Daniel Whittle
Harvey now." Witness said " No, yre do not do things in
that way; I shall summon you before a magistrate." The
defendant then walked away, but soon afterwards returned,
and said to witness, " Never mind, I did not mean to affront
you," and wanted to shake hands with him. There were a
great many jobbers and others about the place, and an ob-
struction occurred for about ten minutes, to the immense
annoyance of the public.
The Loan MAYOR—DO you wish to ask the officer any
questions, 11Ir. Cunliffe ? The defendant—l merely wish to
ask him whether I did not, at the very outset, say I was
sorry for what took place, and that I was not aware that I
was doing wrong?
The policeman said the facts were exactly as he described
them.
The defendant—The fact is, my Lord, that these cabs
come down daily to the spot, and I. thought such a thing
ought not to be allowed, and said so to the policeman. At
the same time, I never had an idea of offending against
the law.
The Loan MAYOR—You must be aware, Sir, that this
man has a very troublesome duty to perform, and it is ex-
tremely unbecoming in a gentleman to aggravate the diffi-
culties he has to encounter.
The defendant—l know it perfectly, but I really did not
think I was acting in violation of the law.
Deputy Corney said the nuisance had become most ter-
rible. the pathway was completely blocked up by the
agitated children of speculation, who seemed to be in-
fluenced by but one thought, and to be determined to stick
fast in the one neighbourhood. Complaints were hourly
made to him that ladies and gentlemen were obliged to walk
in the mud, because the accommodation of a free passage was
not to be had.
Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, mentioned to the Lord
Mayor that numerous complaints had been made to the late
Lord Mayor on the subject, and that, whenever a fine could
be legally inflicted, it was inflicted.
Mr. Corny said the nuisance had vastly increased, and
the crowds were become so great at present, that the exer-
tions of one policeman, who was appointed to perform the
duty, were actually ridiculous, in opposition to such a body.
Nothing, in fact, but the resolute interference ofa magistrate
would answer. The policeman could, no doubt, make a pas-
sage for himself through the crowd, but as he passed the
opening closed, and the Stock Exchange operations went on
without the slightest interruption or postponement.
The LORD MAYOR—The only plan I can think of upon
which those gentlemen can manage to do business is, to
select a room for their operations where they can cease from
being a nuisance to any except each other.
The defendant—That is, I believe, about to be the case, my
Lord.
Lhe LORD MAYOR—I am glad to hear it ; but in the mean-
time I must endeavour to protect the public from a further
continuance of these obstructions. There are two Acts under
which I can inflict penalties in this case, the " Sewers Act "
and the " Police Act." I shall choose the former, as I can
fine to a greater amount upon that Act. I can impose 5/.
for an i fringement. Now, as this is the first case of the
sort in my mayorality, I shall only fine the defendant in the
sum of twenty shillings; but in every future case that is
proved here, I shall most certainly inflict a penalty of 51. ;
at the same time, I shall recommend that this be followed up
by applications to the Police Committee and to the Court of
• Aldermen.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. Beckwith, jun., a share agent, appeared before Mr.
Alderman Musgrove to answer a complaint preferred by Mr.
Fennell, a warehouseman in Aldermanbury, for detaining ten
shares in the Essex and Suffolk Railway.
. The matter was heard some days ago before Mr. Alderman
Wilson, who allowed it to stand over for arrangement; but
no shares having been tendered to Mr. Fennell, he now
prayed the order of the magistrate that the ten shares' or
the value of them, should Ile delivered to him by Mr.
Beckwith.
Mr. Fennell repeated his statement that he employed the
defendant, as his broker, to buy two letters of allotment, at a
premium of about ten shillings, and having paid the deposit
on the fifty shares, he handed the bankers receipts to the de-
fendant, to obtain the scrip at the company's offices. The
scrip, as to one letter of allotment for twenty-five shares, was
obtained forthwith ; but upon the other it could not be ob-
tained, as the deed was out of town, and the party to whom
the letter was allotted could not sign. After a lapse of /seve-
ral days, the defendant ceased to be found at his usual resort,
but Mr. Fennell met him, and insisted on having the remain-
ing 25 shares. The defendant gave him 15 shares, and said
he should have the rest in an hour, but they had never been
delivered, and Mr. Fennell resorted to the magistrate to re-
cover them.
Mr. Beckwith's answer was, that on the day the complain-
ant met him and pressed for the shares, saying he had en-
gaged to deliver them, and must have them, Mr. Fennell's
bankers' receipt had not been, nor was capable of being, con-
verted into scrip, as the secretary of the Company could prove.
With the previous knowledge and sanction of the complainant
he borrowed the 15 shares, which were then at 11. premium.
They had since fallen to par,- and the loan of the 15 shares
bearing premium could not be repaid with 15 shares at par.
The difference, the 151., must of course be paid—the money
value of the loan, not the actual thing lent. He claimed to
hold the ten shares to cover this loss.
Mr. Alderman MusouovE endeavoured to get a distinct
answer from the complainant, whether, at the time he res.
ceived the 15 shares, he understood they were borrowed for
him, or were part of his own shares, the bankers' receipt
being at that time convertible.
Mr. Fennell avoided giving a plain answer.
Mr. Beckwith said he could bring the secretary to prove
the shares were not :convertible; and Mr. Bloxam, a share-
broker, in Sutherland-square, could also prove all the facts
as he stated them.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE did not see why the magistrates
should be troubled with settling disputes about these
stagging transactions. If Mr. Beckwith had ten shares, the
property of Mr. Fennell, the latter had a remedy in an ac-
tion of trover.
Mr. Beckwith begged hie pardon for interrupting him, but
these were not stagging transactions.
The Alderman requested some definition of a stag.
Mr. Beckwith explained that he was not merely an out-
side man, but one who wrote to various companies for letters
of allotment, giving different and false addresses all over the
country.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE declined giving any opinion on
the case, and dismissed the summons.
THAMES.

Benjamin Barnett, aged 34, described as of no trade, and
'ately residing in Spite Melds, was charged with being con-
cerned in an outrage upon Joseph Bray, No. 43 H, and
Edward Burgess, No. 198 H. Both constables appeared in
a woeful plight with their heads bound up. Burgess had
received a cut on the nose, which completely divided it, and
there was an incised wound of considerable depth on his

temple.
Mr. Pelham appeared for the prisoner.
Bray, who was in an exceedingly weak state, said he was
called by Burgess on Thursday night, between eight and
nine o'clock, to secure a horse and cast, supposed to contain
stolen property, and convey it to the station house. He
was suddenly attacked by a mob of bad characters, who
said the horse and cart should not be removed. Exclama-
tions of dowti with them, knock their heads off, were heard,
and a furious attack was made upon him and Burgess. He
saw a knife brandished. He received a most tremendous
blow from a deadly in,trnment called a life-preserver, the
end of which was loaded with :.••9n or lead. He was dragged
away from the horse's head, and ree,;:ed other blows from
:the life-preserver, and was carried off insenS....hle. He swore
to the prisoner having struck him with the lite_c.reserver,
and he had a brown coat on. •
Burgess, who was also in a weakly condition from loss of
blood, said he was in plain clothes, and saw a horse and cart
drive up to the King's Arms, Whitechapel-road. There
was a quantity of straw and a sack covered over something
in the cart. He suspected it contained stolen property.
After seeing two men alight and go into the public-houce,
he stopped till Bray came up, and desired him to take
charge of it. He went into the King's Arms for the pur-
pose of securing the parties, but could not see them. He came
out again and was about to drive the horse and cart to the
station-house, when he and Bray were surrounded. The pri-
soner, who was known to him, struck him. The prisoner
was the most active among them. After a desperate strug-
gle a knife was used upon him. He received a dreadful
wound across the temple, and another cut across the nose,
which hung by the skin until his wounds were dressed at
the hospital.
In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, Burgess said he
stopped the horse and cart because he was certain something
wrong was going on. He knew the prisoner well.
A certificate was then put in, stating that Bray was in
danger from the injuries he received, and he was imme-
diately removed in a coach to the hospital.
Inspector Donegan said the prisoner was apprehended at
ten o'clock the same night, and officers were in search of other
persons concerned in the affray.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the case was a most serious one, and
must be further investigated. lie remanded the prisoner till
Friday next.
The following property was found on Barnett :—A half-
plate, engine-turned, double-bottomed silver watch, jewelled
in six holes, maker's name " William Hallett, London, No.
377," with a heavy gold curb chain attached; two gold
mourning rings, one marked outside "In memory of" and
inside "John Richardson, Esq., Obit. 13th of Aug. 1840, in
his 70th year;" the other with an inscription inside only,
"Benjamin and Anna Bond, also Charles Bond ;" and GI. in
gold. The property has been deposited for inspection at the
Denmark-street station-house.
Friday night both policemen were in the London Hospital,
and reported to be in a dangerous condition.

FALL IN TIIE PRICE OF BREAD.— On Friday the
bakers of the metropolis reduced the price of bread, of the
second quality, ld. in the 41b. loaf, being equivalent to a re-
duction in the price of wheat of Ils. the quarter. Good house-
hold bread can now be obtained at from 60. to 7d. the 41b.
loaf, although in some neighbourhoods the price is kept up to
Bd. Excellent flour may be had at Sd. the quartern. The
price of the best bread remains unchanged.
THEFT.—On the night of Sabbath week, the cash-
box of the Secession Church in Moss-street was stolen from
the chapel. There was a congregational prayer meeting on
the evening of Sabbath, and it is supposed that the thief or
thieves had secreted themselves under the seats, and re-
mained in the church after the meeting dismissed, as one of
the-church doors was found open on Monday mowing. There
was no money in tho biAO-Zigin attrier,
