POLTICE • INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE. '
Yesterday, a gentleman applied to the LORD .MAiroa for sum-
monses or warrants against some persons, who held themselves
forth as Directors of a Company called the Alliance Granite and
China Clay Company.
The applicant produced a number of finely engraved documents,
,of which the following is a copy :
ALLIANCE GRANITE AND CHINA CLAY COMPANY.
Received for the Alliance Granite and China Clay CompanY.3o
the credit of the Directors, the sum of Three Pounds Ten Shil-
lings to account for on demand.
For Ereret, Walker, Maltby, Ellis, and Co. T. GILBAST.
£l2 10s.
The complainant stated that he had paid 1251. upon a number
of these shares, on the presumption that a.Company had been re-
gularly formed, and was established. That he believed was not
the case. No prospectus had been sent forth, but so many as one
thousand shares had been issued without any such formality--
2/. 10s. had been paid upon them, and 2,5001. was received at
the bankers (Messrs. Everett and Co.), which had been drawn
out, and he understood expended. The balance in the hands of.
Messrs. Everett and Co. was, he learned from them, no more than
9/. 10s., or thereabouts.
The LORD MAYOR asked what inducementslad been held out ,
to bring forth the money so readily ?
The applicant stated, that it had been held forth to them that
they, were to supply the granite for building London-bridge.---
There was one of the Members of the Corporation among the
Directors.
The LORD MAYOR said he could not conceive it possible that
such a representation had been held out, as it was notorious that
the •supply had been contracted for before the formation of ths.
Company. iC
The applicant said, that a quarry bad been purchased, end
formed part of the ground of his charge, that the persons who •
bought were also those who sold it. They had taken the Coto- ',
pany's money out of one of their pooliets and put it into the other,
and, there were no proceeds whatever, and nothing had been done-
the LORD MAYOR—Have ou made any application to did
Directors upon that subject ?
The applicant declared that lie bad applied repeatedly, and that
they had promised to restore to him the money they had obtained,"
Nothing, however, was forthcoming, and after having given thew! ,
notice that he should resort to a course of this nature, he at knew
adopted it. He declared that he was in possession of the techai°
cal proof, and that he could prove it to be, from beginning to end,
as gross a case as any which had been brought before his Lordship.
The Loan MAYOR, after consulting with his legal adviser,
who-thought the case, if proved as stated, was one punishable
as' a combination to defraud, directed one of his officers to '
request the attendance of the Directors, to meet the charge of
obtaining money under the false pretence of carrying on a
Company.

to her and him; she, therefore, requested the interference or
his Worship. Mr. Rawlinson said, a Committee of the -11001.

This the girl did, and returned, saving that two men had t6ldber`
