POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—There being an intention on the part
of the misters of anumber of trade. in the city to reduce the wages
of, theirjournerzen; disturbances are anticipated, and in one or
Iwo cases have taken place. Yesterday two journeymen cork-
cutters were brought before:the Loin Mayon, on a charge of hav-
ing illegally threatened and endeavoured to intimidate two work-
men, who bad refused to join a combination
.to which the defend-
ants belonged.
From the eiiidence of Richard Hill, and another journeyman, in
the employ of Mr. Bucknell, a cork-cutter, it appeared 'that the
masters 61 found
,it expedient to reduce the wages, and announced
their intention to the men, who took a week's time to consider of

it. They ultiniately refused to accept the wages offered, and the
great body of them turned. out. The two complainaats agreed to
go with the other men, with the proviso that their families could
in the menu time be supported.; but finding that this could not be
done, they wept to their work at, the reduced wages. The *-
sequence was, 'that they were beset if the workshop by a mob of
nearly 100 workmen, and received dreadful abuse and threats from
the two. prisoners.
One of the prisoners in his defence declared, that now the prices
of provisions were increased, the masters wished to reduce their
wages. He spoke with great energy on this point, and stated, a
living could not be got at their reduced ►ages. His fellow-
workman and prisoner could earn no more than 12s. or ltis. per
week at it.
Hticknell declared, that the misters had only reduced the
wages of the workmen because. they ware driven to do so by the
circumstances of the trade. The. prisOner, who was adroitly put
forward as a specimen of the condition of the workmen; wasan ex-
ception. They might by common skill obtain 80e. per week at
the reduced wages, apd he had some in his shop who could earn
upwards of V. per week.
Several masters corroborated this statement.

The LOKI) MAYOR said; that the laws were never more favour-
able to the journeymen than, at present ; and he for one was of
opinion, that they were nut more favourable than they ought to
he. It was but. just that they should be allowed to dispose of their
labour, which was their property, in the best manner they could.
They might make any agreements among themselves as, to the
price they thought proper to take ; but they must not be allowed
to violate with impunity the right of othcra in the same free dispo-
sal of their property. Here the journeymen had the least right to
complain of their masters, as they might more easily,thirn any other
clue of workmen setup for themselves if eirorbiteut profits were
derived from' the Sale of 'their lab Our.

His Lordship (with whom eat Mr. Alderman Kay) sentenced
the prisoners to be confined one month each to bard labour
in, the House of Correction, and declared his intention to in-
crease the punishment on each ease that might for the future be
brought before him.
BOW-STREET.—Yesterday James Wm. Leach, a man
about thirtyyears of age, who had lost an atm, es it was said, in
one of the Peninsular battles, was hi ought bet Ore Ale. Altusuu
charged. under Lord Ellenbortrugh's act, with cutting and maim.
tog John Brookes, with, intent to do him some grievously bodily
hares.
It appeared in evidence, that some year. ago the prosecutor, who
is migrating Shopman to Mr. Careless, a cheesemonger in Clara-
market, slid who, independently of his employment, has some pri-
vete property, bectung,acquainted with a young woman of respect-
able:family?, named SusanoaliMurray, between whom and him an
illicit intercourse took place, and she gave birth to a male child.
After the child was born, the prosecutor was sued in the nsual
way by the parish officeis, with whom, through his solicitor; he
entered; into a compromise, be agreeing to pay 60/. doini within
a certain period, which payment vat to exonerate him from all
future demands. The mother of the child was a consenting party
to this agreement, and at the proper time the 50/. were paid by
the prosecutor, and an acquittance given to him by the parish
officers. At a subsequent period, the prisoner became acquaint-
ed with Susannah Murray, and married her, having been brit
informed, without any, disguise, of , her being the mother of
a child bX the prosecutor. He consented, indeed, to take the
child home and keep it, and did ap cheerfully until lately,
when, he fill into milforturie, 'and being unable to support his
wife and the family elle brought him after their marriage (hie
children), he. applied .to the ,prosecutor for assidiner, repre-
senting to him the cost be had been at in rearing his (the pro-
secutor's) son. The prosecutor, in answer to the application,
said, he had already paid ;SOL for the maintenance of the Child,
and pleaded in bar of further claim, the bond of indemnity
which he had got from the parish-officers. To this plea the
prisoner rejoined, that the compromise with the officers was no,
thing to him; that be had never received a shilling of the money,
and that he had a right to demand payment for the rapport of the
child for the time during which he bail maintained it. The
prosecutor, however, persisted in refusing to give the prisoner
any money, and they parted in great liner. For some time
they lost sight of each other ; hut the prisoner was unceasing
in his endeavours to find the prosecutor, and about two months
ago he called upon a, mutual friend, of the name of Green,
whom he entreated to tell him where Brookes was to be found.
Green declared he did not know, upon which the prisoner said,
" Yes, you do,; but it is no matter, I *hall find him; and here
I have a weapon (taking a knife from under hie coat), which
I intend for his destruction first, and then for my wife and
children. • You also shall atiffir; but you are safe for the pre-
sent." Green, knowing the Violent disposition of the prisoner,
warned Brookes of his danger, and told him to be on his guard.
On Tuesday eveiring the .prisoner went into Mr. Careleesvehop,
and inquired for Mr. Brookes, who at the moment
.was standing
-
outside the shop door.. One a the shopmen pointed Brookes out,
and the prisoner beckoned hiM in, saying he 'incted toapiak to
him, " You know me, I believe ?" said the prisoner. ss No, I do
not," replied Brookes; " I have no recollection of having ever
seen you before." The prisoner then said, it weal**, and men,
tioning his own name desired to know if Brookes was willing to
pay 100/. down, for the maintenance of his child. Brooke/ said
he would not pay a farthing, and repeated his former statement,
of his having compromised with the parish officers. Some words
wee, and the prisoner becoming violent, he was desired to leave
the shop. At this moment he was standing in the middle of the
shop with his hands under his coat, and Brookes was lean-
ing against the counter. The order ter him to quit the pre-
Milk., being repeated, the prisoner Made a rush at Brookes, and
O
aimed a desperate blOw at hie breast. Brookes raised hii hande
to parry the blow, and received it on. his left arm ; at the same
tine seizing• the prisoner with the other, and pushing him out of
t 49 shop. In a moment after he had discovered that he had re-
ceived a cut in the
.arm, from which the, blood .flowed profusely.
He went to a surgion,,iind.it was found that his arm WAS art to
the bone, and one of
the aniall arteries divided. The Harmer
escaped for the thne, but waseepprehended yesterday Thorium; by

The surgeon who dressed the wound said; it was certainly in..
flietati with a sharp irietrunient, and that if the Wow bed taken
effect upon the.part to which it appeared to have been directed,
death must almost inevitably have ensued.
' The prisoner did neratteM't to deny the charge, and said he
hoped the effect of it would lie to send hini out of the world, for
he was sick of his life. If, added he, "the Inca. den not de-
prive one oflife, I will end it myself; for longer in thin world I am
determined I will not exist. I ant poverty-stricken ; I know not
where to obtain that which will keep body and -soul together; and
what is the good. of ritY burdetim-

His house had become obnoxious to his neighbOursin consequent"
of a lady who lodged there, and he was threatened by a respect,'
able solicitor with an indictment, unless be got rid of hex; bebad
desired her to quit, het she set him at defiance, and said she would
stay as long as she pleased.
" Tel! me who the lady is," said Mr. Raweitesos, " and whet
she is?".-.-" Her name, your 'Worship, is Mrs. Day."
" Oh ! replied Mr, RAW-assort, " this urns lady requested
.s
private interview with meets Saturday : she then named a noble-
man by whom she is kept, and concluded her story by offering
me a pound or two for myself if I would assist her."—
i (All pre-
sent, including the Magistrates, were convoked with laughter.)—
" Yes," said Mr. Charlwood, " it is the very same, for she told
me she had got your sanction to stay."
Mr. RAWLINSON.—She might as well have told yon I had
got her two pounds. I advised her to leave, and I advise you im-
mediately to get rid of her in the beat way you can. You must
do it yourself. I have no power to assist you.
She bits lodged 'three years with the applicant. Her real name
is said to be Starhuck.
Yesterday- William Butler, the driver of one of the Padding-
ton stage.coaches, was summoned to this office to answer the com-
plaint of Captain William Henry Clarence Dalrymple, for having
assaulted hiturand used abusive language. The Captain deposed,
that on Monday last lie had occasion to ride on one of the Pad-
dington stages, and on his arrival in the New-road, he disputed
with the-driver in consequence of his not having set him down at
the proper plea, when the defendant mine up and unnecessarily
interfered, using the most insulting language, which he (the Cap-
' tam) did not wish to repeat.
Mr. itAwassos requested him to repeat the language.
Captain--He called me "a l—y Scotch vagabond; which
arose, he should in- agiee, from the prisoner tracing through his
dialect that he wati from the north. He remonstrated with him,
on which he struck him over the bat with his whip, which
knocked it off. Wane*: felt
.himself extremely irritated, and
assured the prisoner that he' would prosecute him, but he acted
with bravado and defiance.
The prisoner denied the assault, and said that he was appe"led
to by the coachman who drove the coisplainant to know whit
be
should do. He advised him to drive hits back again, 'ae it wits
the best road to get rid of a bad customer. Fie denied calling
him " a l—y vagabond ;" but said, if lie, (the Captain)wai
Scotland they would not have far to drive him to a post. tie
thought he !night a well act with defiance, as be well knew there
was no justice for Paddington coachmen at Mary-le-bone-Office.
Mr. Rawassos—Howt is it possible that there should not be
a prejudice against a set of individuals who so *rosily commil
themselves? scarcely a day passes without something of the 'kW
taking place. Your conduct to this gentleman was extronell
base.
Defendant—But he has exaggerated very much.
Lord MoNvroan—Then do you mean to say that this gentle
man came here to commit deliberate perjury?
Defendant—No ; but that he has exaggerated.
Mr. Raver INSON—I believe the gentleman, and shall call upo.
you to find bail to appear at the sessions, and also to keep th
peace during the interim.
Lord Mosevonn was extremely indignant at the defendant'
confident manner, and strongly recommended Captain fends
t'
to prosecute, as it sued ad* whiclt beenved to the public.
