POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mrs. Elizabeth Eaton, of the Elephant public-
house, in Leadenhall•street, who complained on
Saturday of haring been robbed by ilfary Anne
Walters, one of her serrants, yesterday wrote a
letter to the LORD PrlATort, of which the following is

a copy :
" My Lord,—The development of the guilt of -any ser-
vant Mary Anne Walters, in the examination before your
Lordship last Saturday, inducea me most earnestly to solicit
your Lordship's powerful influence with the Secretary of
State, to obtain the immediate discharge of, the poor girl
Ann Crawley, wno, after living with use wily four days,
was, by the woman whu was charged-on Saturday, accused,
and curlier sole evidence sonvicted.

" I verily believe the charge was false; -that the accuser
should have been the prisoner; and, under the full pet sua7
sion of her innocence, I am induced to crave your Lordship's
benevolent interference, which will much oblige,
" Your most obedient servant,
" ELIZABETH EATON•"

The LORD MAYOR direeted Mr. Hobler to make
out a copy of the depositions against , Mary Ant*
Crawley, and to join to it a copy of the Sessions
Paper in which the trial of Anne Crawley -is re-
Corded, in order that 'his Lordship might go prepared
to the office of the Secretary of State.
Anne Crawley is now in the Penitentiary.
Drinkwater, the officer, found in Mary. Anne 'Wal-
ters' box a bunch of keys, one of. which opened the
lock of Mrs. Eaton's depository, in which the trin-
kets were kept, and out of which Ann Crawley was
accused, upon the evidence of Mary Ann Walters;
of -having stolen property, of . the plunder of which,
It now appears, she was wholly innocent,
YA respectable man who resides in Finch-lane Was
brought -up, charged with having beaten an old
watchman, named 13enbow. This tnrned'out to be
one of the many instances which occur in the metro-
polis of the gross abuse of power in 'the nightly
watch. Indeed, the encouragement given by the
Magistrates to watchmen to act as tyrants, renders
it hazardous in any man, however peaceable and
orderly, to walk the public streets as soon as the au-
thority of.the watchmen commences.
. The watchmen swore that the defendant was
going along tl.:e street, carrying a bundle, at half-past
twelve on Sunday morning. Witness thought it to
be his duty to ask him a question about the bundle.;
but the defendant, instead of giving a civil answer,
used the most hot rible language, and, finally knocked
him down with a desperate blow.
. A butcher stated that he saw the knock-down
blow.

The defendant declared that the accusation was a
most abominable falsehood:
.1,10 had called „at a
shopkeeper's for some goods, whieb, as the hour was
late, and he stood in need of the articles,. be pre-
ferred carrying home himself. The watchman asked
him what he curried, and he immediately told him :
whereupon the watchman seized bins, and told him
he must go to the watch-house and account for him-
self, to the satisfaction of the authorities presiding
there. He remonstrated with this arbitrary guardian
of the peace, and assured him that he lived at No. 23,
Finch-lane, where, if he would be. so good as to
walk to that short distance, the most satisfactory
proof that the articles were his own property should
be produced. " No," said the watchman, " I'm
but you shall go to the watch-house ;" and after
some further skirmishing with words, the watchman
struck him with a.stick, and dragged him off to the
watch-house. The charge was immediately taken,
and the defendant would have been obliged' to re-
main in the watch-house until Monday morning, had

not a neighbour got out of bed to bail
Alderman GARRATT (whe- sat for the Lord
Mayor) said, that the conduct of the watchman was

reprehensible.
A gentleman,
.who was passing at the tirne the
watchman had the defendant in custody, stated that

the defecidant answered the watchmaii civilly; told I
him he lived at 23, Finch-lane, .asked hltit to go
thither to ascertain the.fact, and instead of striking,
WAS struck by the watchman, whose. condiiet was
violent in the extreme.. It was further stated, that
the watchman, while he was taking the defendant to
the watch-house, offered to drop the 'whole business
for the sum of Is. 6d. .•
Alderman GARRATT said, that the poliCe'and the
watchmen ought to be protected in the discharge of
their duties, but not in the abuse of the power given
to them. The Alderman their discharged the de-
repdant, without, however, strongly rebuking the
watchman, who went away without having received'
the necessary and expected diseourageuient lo insult
and imprison the public.
It is notorious that some of the Aldermen' are so
fond of obliging respectable persons, against whom
charges are made up for the purpose of 'extortion, to
" settle" with the watchmen, that in some wards if
a man ask a watchman -what o'clock it is, le runs
the chance of lying in a black-hole all night.
young man, named Beaumont, who' has been
committing various depredations-through the country,
was charged with having forged upon a Welsh
bauking-house. He was sent into Wales, attended
by two officers.
