POLICE INTLf,IGENCE-(THIS DAY.
MANSION-HOUSE.
TILE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERY.

This morning the office was crowded to excess in con-
sequenee of its being understood that Joseph Hunton,
who stands charged with forgery, bad been apprehended,
and was to be brought up for examination. It was not
true that Hunton was taken by two Bow-street officers.
Forrester, the city officer, was sent in pursuit, and appre-
hended Hunton on board the Leeds. The Mansion-house
officer brought Hunton to London this morning and
lodged him in the Compter. It is a remarkable circum-
stance that Hunton never changed his dress, and appears
in fact to have taken no measures to disguise himself. In
the Compter, Hunton maintained silence. It is not yet
known whether he has any, or what property he has
about him.

Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the London bankers, arrived
at about 12 o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Roberts, one of
the partners in the house of Messrs. Curtis and Co. on
whom the forgeries were committed.
After some consideration, the LOAD MAYOR. determined,
in order to prevent the pressure that would arise in the
office, there being hundreds of persons round the Man.
sion-house, .to bear the case in his private room. Re-
porters weretiit'first permitted to enter, but on a suggestion
of Mr. Gates they were requested to withdraw, and the
proceedings, as far as they went, were kept strictly private.
It is understood to be the intention to go into the evi-
dence against the prisoner only partially, and to remand
him for future examination. Hunton appears to be not
in the least disconcerted. The Leeds New York line of
packet ship was obliged to put back from stress of weather,
otherwise Hunton would have got clear off.
After a short examination, the prisoner was remanded.

BOW-STREET.
In the case of an Irish row, in a family named
Carthy, in which Mr. Mitzsituta, had great trouble (as
usual in Irish cases) in getting at the truth and beginning
of it, all of course spoke at once, and delivered frag-
ments of determined charges against each other, and the
only chance of preserving silence was that of locking up
the whole of them. This was done, and in a quarter
of an hour they were brought in again.
The whole party then informed the Magistrate that they
had settled it, and were satisfied. They were all four
shoemakers, and some of them appeared to have been
rather roughly handled. The conditional assurances of
their being satisfied were most amusing.
Mr. Mmsti um, (to the first)—Are you satisfied? De-
fendant---Te be sure, your Worship (at the same time
feeling a bump on his cranium of "imposing appearance").
The two next not having received such hearty cracks as
the first, answered the same question with more probable
claims to sincerity, and were disposed of; but the fourth,
who, it appeared, had commenced the quarrel, and re-
ceived a large proportion of the affectionate whacks, new
appeared, if not exactly " like Niobe," yet certainly " all
tears." He sobbed like a child, and expressed himself
" truly satisfied." Mr. Minshull, however, seemed to
doubt it, but lie was too cunning to admit anything else,
and with "a rueful grin" lie wiped his eyes, and repeated
the words " truly satisfied," till lie found himself well out
of the office.
