POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE. —EuacrioNiit 4G Pt.a. ea ans.—Yes-
terday Mr. Fenton, the solicitor, of Austinfriers, appeared before
Mr. Alderman MAGNAY, (who sat for the Lord Mayor) to prose-
cute a bill-sticker who had offended against the provisions of the
Act of the let. Geo. 111. rap. 63. which subjects every bill-
sticker, who, sticks .up bills without the printer's name, to a
penalty of '2O/. for each offence. The defendant was not forth-
coming when he was called for, and on enquiry, it appeared, that
he had-been liberated by the Beadle, iu-whose custody he had been
given on the preceding night. The Beadle had taken his word
to appear when called upun.—A summons was about to he made
out against the Beadle, when he appeared with his prisoner.—
The prlsoner's name was Jeremiah Brown; he stated, that be is
a bill-sticker, and resides at No. 129, Union-street, Southwark.
—Mr. Hathaway, one of the Lord Mayor's Committee, stated,
that hetWeen eight and nine o'clock on the preceding night, he
saw the prisoner near the Southwark Bridge, pasting up a placard,
a copy of which he produced. It was as follows,:—
" Roman Catholics : Rally round your staunch Friend', Wood,
Waithman, and the Lord Mayor." There was no printer's name
attached to it. Witness took him into custody.
Mr. Fenton said, that tke prisoner bad a number of other hills.
He wished to know what had .become of them.—The officer"
stated, that they had only taken two from the prisoner, which two
tkv now had to produce.
Mr. Fenton asked of the prisoner how he had disposed of the
remainder of the bills?---The prisoner readily answered, that he
had stuck them all up this morning. There were SOO of them.
Mr. Hobler—Whet ! did you do this immediately after you
were liberated?--Prisoner..-.Yes ; I stuck them all up this
morning. •

Mr. -Fenton—Who gave you these hills ?—Prisoner—Mr.
Triquet, the Printer of St. Clement's-lane.
Mr. Fenton—lt is impossible you could have got these from
Mr. Ward's Committee. They cannot have acted so ungeutle-
manly.—Prisoner—Yes ; but I did though. When I was libe-
rated last night, I went to the Committee at the City of London
Tavern, where Mr. Triquet was. He told me be would see me
righted, and he ordered me to post the bills which were left,
which I did this morning.
Mr. Fenton---le Mr. Triquet one of the Committee?—Pri-
soner : I believe so. There were three othey Gentlemen there.

Mr. Fenton—Did the other Gentlemen present hear the printer
Pay he would see you righted ?..—The prisoner replied that he could
not stele positively.

Mr. Pinion—bid you ever stick up any other hills from the
same quarter, as coming from the Lord Mayor ?—Prisoner:
have.

Mr. HOBLER more than once interposed, and suggested, that
it Was unfair to interrogate the prisoner, who was an ignorant
man, and make him convict himself, if it were intended to proceed
for the penalty.
Mr. Fenton said, that since the prisoner had shown himself
ready to give an account of the transaction, and acknowledge who
bad employed him, he (Mr. F.) was inclined to abstain from far-
ther proceedings against bite, and seek redress as against his em-
ployers. Private squibs, of course, were fair ; but placards like
the one produced, when they came from Committees, formed a
species of warfare that was perfectly unworthy and unjustifiable,
and must be resisted.

The prisoner, on engaging to appear when called upon, was
then dismissed.

Mr. Tricquet, who, it was stated, gave directions to the bill-
sticker, is the son of a Cashier at the Bank, and is Secretary to
Mr. Ward's Commatti,e. The bill-sticker was sought in the course
of the afternoon, in order that he might be confronted with Mr.
Tricquet, when it was discovered that he had given a fictitious
address.

In the mule of the afternoon a wan appeared in Cheapeide,
bearing the following placard:—
" ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL, Jura 14, 1826.

" At a Meeting of the Roman• Catholics, held here this day, it
was resolved unanimously, that Alderman Wood's staunch ad-.
herence to our cause, and his alone, claims our most strenuous
support. _ _ _

4i Brother Liverymen, let not the Protestants Triumph !!"
The hearer was soon surrounded by a crnwd, who declared the
placard to be false; and, after some uproar, seized it and tore it to
pieces. The man was allowed to go about his business. Efforts
were afterwards made to find him, but without success.

GUILDITALL.—A fashionably dressed dame, neither hand-
*ulna nor young, infesented herself to he sworn to an affidavit de-
claring that certain reports, which impugned her chastity, wets
grotindless. Mr. Alderman Asst zy wished to know whether
this document was meant for publication. The Lady replied it
was not ; but if his Worship would be so kind as to permit her
to take the oath, in the presence of a Gentleman who accompanied
her, it would allay the irritation of her husband's mind. The
Alderman immediately allowed her to be sworn, and dismissed her,
eipressing his hope that this unusual proceeding would have the
desired effect.

Edward Gr&iths, Wm. Dore, and John Callaghan, were
charged with tearing the watch, chain, and seals, from the per-
son of NV. Patrick, a Chelsea Pensioner, in Smithfield, yesterday
morning. Griffiths made the attack, the other two were observed
in his company just before the robbery, and likewise in the
crowd when the watchman came up. Callaghan furiously resisted
being taken, beating the watchman severely with a bludgeon, and
felling a Gentleman who attempted to intercept him. They were
fully committed.
BOW-STREET.—EXTRAORDINARY CHARO OF HORtil.
STRR LING.—Mr. Richard Cripps, a man of respectable appear-
ance, about ISO year of age, a master baker, residing in Old-
street-road, was charged with stealing a mare, the property of
Mr. John Rumen, a builder, at Finchley, on the 26th of June,
1824. The prisoner is a man possessing considerable property,
and the case excited an unusual degree of interest.
Mr, Russell stated, that on the.26th of June, 1824, the mare
in question was stolen out of his field at Finchley. On the 4th
of August following, he received information from a person
named Scholefield, that his mars bad been seen in the possession
of a person in Old-street-road. He came to London, and en-
deavoured to find him out, but failed. On Thursday last he re-
ceived information from time same Scholefield, that he had again
seen the snare in a cart, on which was painted, " Richard
Capp', Nursery and Seedsman, Tulse" Hill, Norwood, Surrey."
On the following day he went with a horse-denier to Smithfield,
who bad prieiously informed him that he had seen the mare in
the market for sale, and on his arrival there lie saw the, mare,
and inquired who owned her, when the prisoner came f...Tward,
and claimed the mare as his property: He had since learned
that Mr. Richard Crippa, at NOrWOOd, was the sou of the pri-
soner.

Henry Hampton stated that he lives at Y.:lapton ; be remembers
the mare being stolen, as he lived, at the time, near the prosecu-

driven'by the prisoner, to which it was tied by a halter. Retold
the prisoner that he knew the mare, and it had been stolen a few
days before from Mr. Russell of Finchley. The prisoner said, he
had bought it at a fair in Oxfordshire, and drove away.
J. ficholeflehl, said, that he saw the prisoner on the 4th of Au-
gust, 1824, with the mare in hie possession, in it cart in Old-street
road; he stopped him, sad told him that it was a stolen mare,
and belonged to NIT. Russell, of Fincbley ; he did not get- the
prisoner's address at that time; but he wrote to Mr. Russell, and

gay last, he again say the mitre in a chaise-cart, in London-wall,

nation of the fact to the prosecutor.
MP. HALLS. the Magistrate, said that it MS a case of very
strong suspicion of felony 'against the prisoner, and asked him to
explain.

George Chatman war brought before THOMAS HALL*,
Esq., charged by Richard Skinner, a market gardener, resid-
ing at Mortlake, with attempting to' deprive him of his horse
on Wednesday night, about 11 o'clock, in Russell-street, Covent-
garden. Chatman was using such violence towards him, that he
was obliged to call out loudly for assistance, when his cries
brought Mr. Spencer, the landlord of the Harp public house tot
hisaid—the'gartlener said that " Chatman was the most brntishese
Man he ever seed in all his life."
George Spencer corroborated the last witness's evidence, sad''
said that when be asked what was the matter, Chatman struck
him and " clawed" one of his eyea nearly out; not content witiv
this, he laid hold of hit right hand and nearly bit the first joist
of the middle finger off, but was prevented completing his task
by some persons who had come up.
Chatmatt pleaded, in mitigation of his cannibal-like conduct,
that be believed be was in liquor.
Mr. Ham.s said, that as the Sessions were now sitting, Chat-
man ought to be indicted, Which the parties expressed their Iva-
lingnesi to dt4 and left the office.
