POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

The LORD MAYOR apprehended that there were a great
many cases parallel to that which the letter he had dust read
recited, and he trusted that the provisional committee would
seethe immediate necessity of relieving the miserable dis-
tress which was beginning to show itself.
,The following circular was transmitted on Friday
morning to the Bank of England, and to the various
banking-houses in the metropolis, by order of the Lord
Mayor :

" Justices'-room, Mansion-house, Dec. 5, 1845.
" Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor to call your attention to the fact of several well-
dressed persons (evidently forming part of an organised
gang) having been recently. charged at the Mansion-house
with intruding themselves into different banking-houses in
the City under various pretexts, but, no doubt, for the pur-
pose of plundering persons receiving money from those houses.
His Lordship is, therefore, anxious to call your attention to
these facts, in order that every precaution may be used by
the clerks in your establishment, to prevent the intentions of
such intruders from being carried into effect.—l have the
honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
" S. R. GOODMAN, Chief Clerk."

The attention of Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Com-
mittee of Bankers for Protection from Felonies and
Frauds, having been previously called to the subject by
the Lord Mayor, that gentleman attended and expressed
his entire concurrence in the proposed letter to the
bankers, and said he considered that it would be of
great public benefit to adopt additional precautionary
measures at the present time. He also stated that some
years ago, and previously to the present police arrange-
ments, the Bankers' Association had employed two ex-
perienced and efficient police officers to patrol Lombard-
street and its vicinity exclusively, who were paid by the
Committee for such service, and he had frequently urged
of late the propriety of again appointing competent
officers to that special duty.
The way in which numbers of these robberies are
committed is as follows :—One experienced thief, dressed
as a gentleman, followed by a boy, walks into the bank;-
ing-house, takes up a pen and pretends to write, but is
occupied in watching the movements of the parties who
take money at the counter ; the boy watches into what
pocket the cash is deposited, and both follow the victim,
a third thief being outside, on the watch for the police.
The thieves, then, who know where the money is to be
found at once, pursue the person fixed upon for plunder,
and with comparative ease effect their object, being sup-
plied with the many facilities which the streets and lanes
through which he passes afford to them.
The LORD MAYOR observed, upon hearing this
account of the mode in which the robberies are con-
cocted, that Mr. Williams, who was, a short time ago,
plundered of so much property upon leaving Master-
man's bank, had been followed up in the way described.
