POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL—David Dixon, the hill-sticker, was brought
up again on Saturday, and placed at the bar.
The Magistrate (Sir C. S. lluaraa) told the prisoner that he
had been remanded yesterday, with the hope that the author of
the hill in question might be discovered, and be now wished to
know whether he could give• up the person's name from whom he
had received the hint.

The prisoner said he could not, and repeated the same story of
their having been given to him in the street by a strange gentle-
man, for which be was paid' 2s.
The MAGISTRATE—By your own eonfession, we findlem are
the publisher ; and the bills not having any printer's name at-
tached to them, renders you, as I thought yesterday, liable to
the indiction of 'penalties to the amount of I1)01., and in case
they are not paid, the Magistrate must issue a warrant of dis-
tress ; but upon perusing the Act of Parliament, 6th Geo. IV.
c. I find that the Magistrate has the power of detaining you;
without kvYing a warrant of distress, for a period not exceeding
three months, unless the emount be paid in the mean time.
Mr. Alderman Woon said, he had no ill feeling towards the
man at the bar, lint he and his friends were anxious to arrive
at the name of the author of the hills in titration. In another
case, they lied let n Man go upon his giving up the name of
Ins employers ; and in the course of the succeeding day he
Ind stuck up a large number of the same hill.. The Gentle-
man to whoin they had traced tho.se bills Was the Secretary
to Mr. Ward's Committee, who had told the man he would • see
him righted. He himself had no doubt but the man at the bar.
was acquainted with the name of his employer, and to give him a
little more time to consider whether he. would put the worthy
Magistrate in poisession of it, he would beg that the case might
stand over till Monday. He knew -that the man last night had an
interview with some of his fellow bill-stickers, and that not. the
least shadow of doubt. could exist as to his knowing the party from
whom he received the bills. It was notorious that these imm had
a house of call, :and that all their proceedings were communicat-
ed to one another. The idea among them was, that the penalties
would be paid for them upon their adhering to secreay, must that
consequently an imprisonment would be avoided. Now be was
perfectly aware that if the Magistrate should commit him to prison
he must, 901ess the money Was paid, remain in prison the whole
period of three months ; which, to a roan in the situation of life
the prisoner was, might be utter ruin to him. He (Mr. Alder-
man Wont!) was therefore desirous to avert that misfortune, by
requesting tint the Court might be adjourned, in order,that the
prisoner should have an opportunity of giving.publicity to the
name of his employer. The handbill did not apply to himself
alone, but to a large mess persons frequenting the chapel ad-
verted to. It was, therefore, more from that circumstance than
as it regarded himself, flint iris friends were anxious to trace out
the author.

After some conversation, it was agreed that the case should
stand over. foiMonday. • .
John Hill, the other man charged with a like offence, was also
remanded till Monday.
