POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tmis DAT.)
This morning the Justice-room was thronged by the Members
of the Stock Exchange, to bear the result of a charge for an as-
sault, brought by Mr. John Hcaphy, a Member of that Estab-
bliahment, and of St. John's Wood, against a man named
Taylor, and also a tailor by trade. The assault was
proved ; and when the defendant was asked by the Lord
Mayor what answer he had to make to the charge, he
replied that he had been a married man seven years and had one
child, and about lve weeks ago be .had.eusiticions that the conduct
of Mr. Heaphy'with his wife had been of the nnost immoral kind,
and he consequently set a watch upon her condtict,
when he ascertained that his wife had accompanied
Mr. H. to the White House, t3oho-square, at another time to a
house of a certain description in Oxendon-street, and again to an-
other in Litchfield-street; and at length she had left him 'altoge-
ther, and he was not aware where she now was.
The servant of the tailor proved that Mr. Heaphy had been in
the habit of visiting her mistrets,and who,in one instance,had refused
to retire with Mr. IL, and she said her mistress had muttered it
was a pity Mr. H. was a married man. The Lord Mayor ob-
served, that the public peace was not to be broken and disturbed
by acts like these, but he could not help saying, there had been
most gross provocation, and that the conduct of Mr. H. was of
the moat serious description; under these circumstances he dis-
mimed the tailor, upon his undertaking not to molest Mr. Heaphy
in future. This affair is likely to afford some amusement in another
Court, and the poor tailor, will, doubtless, try to needle the
Stock Broker out of a handsome compensation, as far as this can
be deemed satisfactory.

BOW-STll7ET—(Tnts DAT).
Ax IxnusTßlous Bummtn.—Bsnjamin Bunker, was fully
committed for stealing some planks belonging to Mr. Walnutley,
of Turnham-green. The prisoner is by trade a bricklayer, and
has lately built one house it is strongly suspected without buying
any materials, and another was springing up with a mushroom
sort of growth, when he was taken by Cousins; the property was
found under a trap-door on the floor of his kitchen. When asked
if he had any of Mr. Walmaley's property, he replied, that " he
could not exactly say."

ATARI.BOROUGH-STREET--(Tara DAT.)
Wee. Jones, an animal of the tailor speciee, was charged by
a watchman with raising the neighbourhood, and by his wife with
knocking her down. She brought to the office two dirty look-
ing children, whom she declared to be the property of Mr. J.,
who relieved her of the youngest, and probably to show him-
self incapable of cruel conduct, kissed and cuddled it with an
air of peculiar satisfaction. Ma. J. however, appeared
rather to extenuate than set down aught in malice, and very
anxiously told the Magistrate she would be answerable for his not
doing so again. But his Worship, in order to impress them with
the necessity of his keeping a promise of that sort, ordered him to
be detained till to-morrow.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tuts DAY.)
A young man, named Charles Williams, was charged by his
employer, Mr. Rowland Riley, with etnbesaling various sums of
money. - _

Mr 7. Riley, a fishmonger, said, that the prisoner had been in his
employ for some months past. During the recent warm weather
he had occasion to use a considerable quantity of ice, which was
procured at different places by the prisoner, he always receiving
money to pay for the quantities so purchased. On Saturday last,
he was much surprised at receiving a bill 'from a confectioner,
amounting to Si., for ice famished at different dates from May
last. His uspicienn being thus awakened, he made further in-
quiries, and ascertained that nearly all the money given by hint to
the prisoner had been appropriated to his own use. On speaking
to the prisoner on the subret, the charge was at first denied. The
production of the bill, however, drew from him & confession that he
had expended the money. but that he intended to repay it with-
out it being known to hint (Mr. Riley), altheugh he had% no
visible means of lo doing.
Several witnesses were in attendance to prove having credited
the prisoner on Mr. Riley's account, but as it was considered
necessary to have a little more time for inquiry, the prfsoner was
remanded till to-morrow (Wedne'd*Y).
Mr. Riley here expressing some reluctance at pressing the case
to a prosecution, was informed, that if he entertained any such
feelings he had better mks up his mind on the subject against
the next examination.

past eight o'clock, a poor man, named Johnson, living in Russell-
place, Russell-street, Covent Garden, who Kw been confined to

afterwards. He has wife and five children. An inliseat
