POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday one of the inhabitants of
St. Ann, Blackfriars, was summoned .before the sitting
Alderman, to show cause why he refused to pay his assess-
ment towards the Rector's Tithes of that parish.
Upon the several rate books being shown to the Alder-
man, it appeared that each half-yearly book was calculated
to produce upwards of 1001.
It seems that the above parish, in conjunction with the
adjoining one of St. Andrew's by the Wardrobe, is under
the operation of the Fire Art, which fixes a certain income
to the clergy in lieu of tithes :—that the rector is entitled
to the annual sum of 235/. 6s. Bd. exclusive of surplice
fees and glebe ; that the parish of St. Ann, Blackfriars;
contributes two-thirds, or 155/. 11s. 2d., whilst the other
third is paid by the adjoining parish : that for many years
previous to' 1825, a rate was levied on the parishioners,
which produced an overplus of between 501. and 601. 'a
year, and that although, on the complaint of the
parishioners, the rate had been since reduced one halfpenny
in the *mid, yet'at the present time an assessment was
demanded and collected, that produced nearly 47/. a year
over and above the sum repaired by law to pay the rector
that so peremPtory was. the,order given by the Act of Par_
liament which enforced the collection of the city tithe-rate
that not one farthing could be lost, as empty houses, vacant,
ground, or any Other species of property was assessable
under it ; and that where it was not paid by the occupier, it
was recoverable of the owner, in any part of the kingdom,.
without any limitation whatever as to time; that the
mere expenses of collecting the rate was the, only addition
that could legally be made to it, and which, it was con-
tended, could not justify the assessors in Making such a
surcharge as they were in the practice of doing.
In reply to the above statement, the Alderman admitted
that the assessors were not justified in raipingn higher sum
than was required to pay the rector his legal demand ; that
with respect to what had been done by the. parish, officers
in former years, he had nothing to do with, as be could
only take cog,nizance of the ease before bins ; but that as
the Act of Parliament authorized the payment of the ex-
.pences attending the collection of the rate, it was the pro-
vince of the assessors, who were of coorse parishioners,
to make such compensation to the collectors as they thought
proper, and that he did not see how an individual could set
up an opinion in opposition to theirs, as to bow much was the
proper sum to be allowed for the necessary expanses at-
. touting the said collection ; that he should therefore recom-
mend the rate to be paid, as, were he called upon. to grant
a warrant, he did not see how he could refuse to do so.

In answer to a question by the inhabitants, the ehureh-
warderi who was present, admitted ihat the rector did re-
ceive front the parish a larger:sum than what by law he was
entitled to, but that it was produced by a distinct rate7book
of two-pence in the pound per annum, the subscription to
which was entirely optional.
Michael adlaghan, Mary, his daughter, and Elizabeth
Dunx, were brought up for final examinatitni yesterday
before Mr. Alderman ANSIACT, charged with knowingly
uttering counterfeit coin.

Mr. Powell, junior, who appeared from the Mint,. in-
timated at the opening, that he heard the prisoners had
been apprehended at the iinistance Of George Vaughan, the
police-officer, who in 1816 was convicted of .conspiring to
induce a man to commit a burglary in order to get the
reward. He had not heard the facts, but if it was se pol-

lilted that the testimony of Vaughan was necessary to com-
plete it, he would.declare in the outset that the Mint would
have nothing whatever to,do with the Prosecution."
After putting a number of questions, the Ahleiman was
satisfied the case would be incomplete without Vaugbap's
evidence,. and he therefore dlsmissed the priioners,.aisuring
them that he was nevertheless convinced of their guilt, and
that he knew each of them had been in custody before as
titterers:
Mr. Powell then said, that since he had been in Court,
he had been asked whether Vaughan Was not eMployed by
the Mint ?, He begged ,to.,state publicly, that, he never
laid been so employed, nor would any information or as-
sistance he could .atford be. received.
James alias Johnson Gilligan was,charged with having.
"79 base shillings in his'pOSiession.—Committed for trial.
MANSION-HOUSE.—Yeiferday William Francis,
who was brought before the LORD MAYOR a few days ago,
charged with having robbed Mr. Stapp, of Snow-hill, of
a gold watch, chain, and seals, was again examined. The
circumstances of the case, as stated on the former occasion,
excited the greatest interest, and the jtistiee-room and the
hall were crowded during the investigation. Mr. `Stapp.s
evidence was, that at about a quarter before nine'o'clock on
the evening of Saturday week, as he was passing alone.-,-
King-street, Snow-hill, at the corner of George-alley; the
prisoner pinioned him by the arms, while another man
snatched his watch. A Mr. Yarrow, who heard Mr.
Stapp cry " Stop thief," ran to George-yard, and he'said
that there he saw the prisoner, The prisoner was appre-
hended next day in Sinithfield, and upon being told the
nature of the charge, appeared to be.very indignant, :and
declared that he could bring evidence to prove that he was
not near the place 'where the robbery was said to have been
committed.
A solicitor fir the .prisoner requested that the Lord
Mayor would hear evidence in proof of an alibi.
The Loan MAYOR—Had you not better keep the 'evi-
dence for another place?
The Solicitor had eight persons to prove that the pri-
soner seas at a great distance from the place where the rob-
bery had been committed, at the hour above mentinhed.•
His object in bringing those witnesses forward was to en-
title his client to give bail, according to the provisions of
the 6th of George IV. cap. 64, which enabled two
magistrates to allow bail to be taken under certain circum-
stances.--The RECORDER. acquiesced. . • ",
Charles Warner, a pot-boy; n Lissongrove; remembred
Saturday week last. He was attending his master's house,
and saw the prisoner and three or four other men enter'
the tap-room at between nine and ten o'clock in the merit-,
jog., The prisoner continued drinking all day, and di not
go away until about a quarter after nine at night. Wit-
ness recollected well the circumstance, because he borrowed
a frying-pan upon which the prisoner had some mutton
chops cooked.
Five other witnesses gave testimony to the same effect.
The prisoner, who was very deaf, at first made a mis-
take about the name of the public-house, but soon after-
wards corrected it. All the witnesses but one testified as
to the cooking of the chops.
Alderman LUCAS arrived at this moment, and after some
consultation between him and the Lord Mayor, the wit-
nesses for the prisoner were bound over to give evidence at
the trial, as well as the witnesses for the prosecution.
The Loan MAYOR then read over the whole of the evi-
dence in the case, and commented upon it as he proceeded..
lie considered that the evidence of Mr. Stapp and the other
witnesses for the prosecution, as to the identity of the pri-
*oiler, was not sufficiently met by the testimony in favour,
of the alibi to warrant him in taking bail for the appear-
ance of the prisoner. The witnesses for the prosecution
had positively sworn to the person of Francis, but the wit-
nesses for the prisoner had stated matter as to time of a
contradictory nature.
The Loan Mqvcnt elect agreed with him. in the pro-
priety of not admitting bail.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
A man named Keening, was. then put to the. bar, on
suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery.
Mr. Stapp, however,could not identify him, and he wa.s.
discharged.

. _
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Sir G. FARRANT and
F. A. Rot, Esq. the sitting Magistrates at this Office yes-
terday, were occupied the greater portion of the day in
hearing informations preferred by the officers of this esta-
blishment against several licensed victuallers, charged with
various offences against the terms of their recognizances,
such as suffering gaming to be carried on at their houses,
late hours, &c.
The fist case was that of Mr. Wallace, landlord of the
Chesterfield Arms, in Shepherd's-market, May-fair, the
information against whom was supported by the following
evidence :

Clemente, the officer, in consequence of information he
had received, went, accompanied by Schofield and Goddard, •
two other officers, to the house of Mr. Wallace, where he
understood a system of gambling was carried on every night
in a room up stairs ; but on the first ,occasion,he found no•
opportunity of entering the house, although he watched
until three o'clock in the morning to see some person go in
or out. On the second night, however, about half-past 12
o'clock, he saw a man come out, and he took that occasion
to enter, followed by the other officers, and found in the
parlour below stairs ten men drinking and playing ,at
dominoes. He then ran up stairs and attempted to enter
the front room on the second floor, which was the apart:
meat in which he had received the information that gambling,
to a great extent was carried on. For some time he was
resisted in entering the room by a foreigner, who shut the
door in Iris face ; but at last he got it open, and found about
a dozen well-dressed men seated there with a billiard table,
card table, cards, and all the machinery for gambling in the
room, although there was no play actually going on at that
moment. The foreigner who opposed the entrance of the
officers abused them in the most violent terms. In justice
to Mr. Wallace, they must say that they met with ne resist-
ance from him.
The foreigner alluded to, a fashionably dressed. young
fellow, here stepped forward, and said, that the room spoken
of was his private room, and, he always understood that in
England every man's house was his castle, and not liable to
intrusions of this kind.:
The Magistrate then asked the Frenchman who and what,

he *as ? . •
The latter replied that his' same was Burdieu, and hie
Profession that of a cook.
Mr. Rox—ln whose service are you as cook ?—Bur-
dien—ln the service of Captain Garth.
Mr. ROE-Are you in his service now ?—Burdieu—
yes, I am.
Mr. ROE-And you ledge at this public-house?—Bur=
'diets—Yes, I do.
Mr. 4.-11 the billiard-table yours ?—Burdieu—Yes,
and all the other furniture in the room.
Mr. Box---Atid who are those that frequent this room
of yours,. to gamble ?—Burdieu--They are all my own
private friends-ill foreigners almost—and we
d'meet to

Sir GEORGE FAREANT asked Burdieu if lie had any ob-
jection to give some, of the names of those who met at his
rOoris.:--Burdieu.-...." Not the least, I will give you twenty
nausea." He then wrote down 'on a piece of paper 14 or
15 names, with their addresses, all of whom were cooks to
various noblemen and gentlemen. .
Mr. ,Wallace, who said that he would leave' nothing un-
done to put a step to the practices going on in his house,•
for which he was very sorry,. Was convicted in a penalty of
41. and costs, which he immediately paid.

and afterwards at night, the most ruinous system ol
gambling: that in one case a young man'lost no less a stun
than 70/., then another 401. and. his gold watch...; and a
third reduced to, absolute beggary..
The magistrates theh dismissed this case, cautioning
Mr. _Wallace, tq get rid of those people; for the penalty `of
a next conviction would be 101., of a third 'lOO/., and any
after a forfeiture of licence.
Several other landlords of public-housei were convicted
also in.niltigated penalties, for late house chiefly.

LORD ENNISNIORi.-.--,WhO 16 to succeed the
deceased Nobleman ?—An idle question for the degraded
inhabitants of this great county. Theyare eighOwndred
thousand, to be. SUM—but three men may put them in their
pockets, and send ntoken to represent them in Parliament.
We have seen as strange things done—and we expect to see
them again, putil education shall have done its work, and
taught man his rights and dignity. Four or five probable
candidates• are named, and they -are all, and everyone of
them, "fit and proper persons" to represent this county
in Parliament. They are Lords Dungarvan, Bernard, and
Berehaven, lgr, Smith Barry, and the Honourable William-
Smith. One of th-3 stawellsis also named ; but we thipk
that any patkiotic member of that family would have itist
as much chance of succeeding as ourselves. The Stawells
would mean too well for the people to be returned by the
People. The instated Freeholder must -hear a little longer
to uphold the tyranny which grinds him to the dust.--
