POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Thomas Mosey was charged
before the Loan MAY OIL, by Henry Slade, a driver of a
hackney-coach, with having a quantity of goods in his pos-
session under very suspicious circumstances.
Henry Slade said, that on Thursday night, about twelve
o'clock, the prisoner and another person hired him, and he
took them to the King's Arms-yard, in Tooley.street ;
that when he got there, the prisoner and his companion
said, that they wanted to convey some goods to Petticoat-
lane ; he accordingly put the goods in his coach, and drove
the prisoner and his friend half-way down Petticoat-lane;
his friend went into a house, and returned, saying, " that
the person who was to purchase the goods would not he at
Lome for an hour," and requested the witness to drive
them again to Tooley-street ; he did so, and after some
time they requested him again to drive to Petticoat-lane.
Their second visit proved equally unsuccessful, and he was
again requested to drive them to Aldersgate-street ; driving
down Cornhill, the other man get out of the coach. The
witness suspected that " all was not right," and com-
municated his suspicion to Roberts, a constable, who im-
mediately took the prisoner and the goods to the watch-
house.

Roberts, a constable, said that he took the prisoner in
custody, and searched him in the watch-house, and found
a duplicate of three pair of blankets; that the prisoner
stated the goods to belong to his sister ; but, after some
further inquiry, he ascertained that the property belonged
to Emanuel Moses, a broker.

Emanuel Moses, of Bunhill-row, deposed that the pro-
perty belonged to him. Be purchased it at Eddes's sale
rooms, Vere-street, Clare-market, last Wednesday ; that he
was in the habit of employing the prisoner to carry goods
for him ; hut, instead. of conveying them to Bunhill-row,
agreeably to the instruction., he kept them. He was not
aware of the goods being removed from the sale-rooms,
until the constable called upon him yesterday morning, and
inquired if he had lost any goods, and made him acquainted
with the detention of the prisoner, and the goods in ques-
tion, which consisted of a feather-bed, carpet, table-cloths,
blankets; &c.
Robert Meredith, clerk to Mr. Eddes, auctioneer, de-
posed that the prisoner called at the sale-rooms, and re-
ceived the goods to convey to Emanuel Moses's residence.
W. Ivey, assistant to Mr. Reeve, the pawnbroker, of
Snow-hill, proved that three pair of blankets were pawned
by a young woman the previous evening.
E. Moses identified the blankets as his property.—The
prisoner was fully committed.
The coachman, who had by his honest conduct lost his
fare, and a great deal of time, asked the Jew for compensa-
tion, as be was indebted to him for the restoration of his
property; the Jew declined, and referred him to the
" gentlemen" who employed him.

The LOUD MAYOR recommended the Jew to compen-
sate the young man for his time, and desired the latter to
call upon his Lordship to-morrow if he was not re-
munerated.

A porter of the Flower Pot booking-office, in Bishops-
gate-street, was summoned to answer a charge preferred by
Mr. Gilleneaux, of Pope's Head-alley, Cornhill, for charg-
ing ls. 2d. for the carriage of a pheasant from Norwich.
A gentleman who attended on behalf of Mr. Gilleneaux
stated that lost Sunday the porter brought a pheasant to
Mr. Gilleneaux's office, in Pope's Head-alley, and demanded
and received Is. ed., which was Is. for carriage and 2d.
for booking; it was the latter charge that was disputed, it
was an imposition, as the booking was always paid in the
country. This system of fraud was carried on to such an
extent that the profit arising from charging booking
amounted in some coach and parcel offices to 1,2001. a year,
and it was with a view to check such an ab*se that induced
Mr. Gilleneaux to appear.
The porter had only complied with the instructions re-
ceived from his master.

The LORD MAYOR inquired his master's name, to which
he replied, George Kitchen. He then ordered a summons
to be served upon him to attend at the Mansion-house to
answer the complaint of Mr. Gilleneaux.

James Pearce, who was remanded the day before, being
found upon the top of Mr. Clock's house, Bishopsgate-street,
was placed at the bar. He said his friends were present
to give him a character.
Robert Cook, shoemaker, of Whitecross-place, Moor-
fields, said that the prisoner lodged with him ; that he was
also a shoemaker ; that he believed him to be an honest
man, as he always paid his rent regular.
The Loan MAYOR, upon learning that the prisoner was
a shoemaker, expressed his surprise at his climbing up a
ladder, and asked Mr. Cook whether the prisoner was ac-
customed to walk in his sleep.
Mr. Hobler asked the prisoner if he had ever been at
sea ?—To which be replied, that he had been on board of a
frigate for some time.. -
Loan MAYOR—Oh, that is accounting for your ac-
tivity. His Lordship addressed Mr. Cook, and desired
him to take the prisoner home, as he was a good lodger,
and not allow him to roost upon the top of a house.—
(A laugh.)
Hurdsfield, the officer, informed the LORD MAYOR
that he had been at St. Thomas's Hospital to see the un-
fortunate young man, James Smith, who had been so se-
verely cut with a razor, and he was in suck a state that the
surgeon of the Hospital had expressed as his opinion, that
it would be judicious to have Smith's depositions immedi-
ately taken.
The Loan Maxon immediately despatched a messenger,
with a letter to Alderman SMITH, to take the young man's
depositions.

HATTON-GARDEN. —John Gallaher, a super-
numerary watchman of Gray's-inn-lane, was charged before
Mr. Sergeant SELLON with disturbing the peace, and in-
decently exposing his person.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON.—You shall find bail for the of-
fence.

MARYLEI3ONE-OFFICE.—Thomas Allen, a dust-
Man, was charged with ringing a bell in Portland-place.
In the 3d of Geo. IV. eap. 84, it is enacted, " That if
any person shall within the boundaries and limits of St.
Afarylebone, blow any born. or trumpet, or use any other
noisy instrument, for the purpose of trade and profit, and
shall be convicted, they shall for every such offence forfeit
and pay not exceeding 405., and not less than 10s., or be
committed to hard labour in the House of Correction for any
time not exceeding 14 days, ncr less than 24 hours.
Air. Hosicnis ordered him to pay the lowest penalty,
with costs..

Seven pie, paupers in Marylebone workhotee, were

charged by Mr. Palmer, the steward, with mutinous
I,behaviour.

As soon as their cases had been disposed of, Mr. Watson,
another officer, brought Thomas Porter, a pauper boy, who
IS ringleader of a refractory party in the same establishment
of his sex. The boaid had ordered him to be flogged for
'his misconduct, but ha declare,l, that he would plunge a
,lnife into the heart of him who laid hands upon him.
He said nothing in his defence, and was also committed
to the House of Correction for 28 days.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday, a powerful young
man, named Thomas Floodgate, who stood remanded on
a charge of burglary at No. 9, Plumber-street, City-road,
on the 28th of November, was brought up for final ex-
amination before Mr. BRoucnToti.

From the statement of T. Haylock, a constable of St.
Luke's parish, it appeared, that about seven o'clock in the
evening of the 25th of November, while walking through
Featherstone-street, in cornpauy with another constable,
named Ike, they met they met the prisoner carrying two
bonnet-boxes tied up in handkerchiefs, and stopped him on
suspicion. On examination of the bundles, and search of
his person, they found two Leghorn bonnets, two silk shawls
the skirt of a silk gown, a diamond brooch, two gold watch-
keys, a pair of gold ear-rings, a Queen Anne half-crown,
and some ether curious coin, the handle part of a broken
chisel, and a phosphorus.box, In answer to questions put
to him, he cavalierly confessed how he became possessed of
the property, and that the spot was not far off, in the
vicinity of City-road turnpike-gate. Having locked the
prisoner up, witness and his fellow constable went round
that neighbourhood, and shortly found that the burglary had
been committed at the house in question where all the
room-doors, drawers, &c. were forced open, and the place
rifled of every portable article of value, even to the pictures
off the walls. In one of the rosin door posts, the point of
a chisel was found broken, which, on being matched with
the other part found on the prisoner, and with the marks of
violence o❑ the drawers, &c. in
,the house, were found to
correspond.
This statement was confirmed by the evidence of the
coastabls Bee.

Daring the taking of the depositions, the prisoner, who
displayed the most depraved hardihood, took frequent op-
portunities grossly to insult the Magistrate, an threaten
the females who appeared for the prosecution.
He was fully committed for trial.
•
UNION-HALL.--A gentleman, the proprietor of seve-
ral houses in Beresford-street, near the Walworth turn-
pike, attended foi the purpose of applying for the aid of
the police in suppressing the nightly depredations com-
mitted in the above neighbourhood.
The applicant stated, that zeveral of his tenants had
given him notice to quit his houses in Beresford-street, in
consequence of the gangs of burglars and thieves of all
descriptions, that infested that immediate neighbourhood.
Scarcely a night passes that houses were not broken into
and robbed ; and, in fact, the occupiers were kept in such
constant terror, that they one and all had come to a reso-
lution of leaving the place altogether rather than live in a
street under such perpetual apprehension of being plun-
dered. Under these circumstances, the applicant added
that the object of Isis attendance was to request that some
of the officers might be directed to visit Beresford-street,
as it was in the district, of a night.
Mr. Swanitv.—An application of a similar nature was
made at this office a short time ago, by a gentleman resid-
ing in the neighbourhood of South Lambeth, and I ad-
vised him, as I shall advise you, to make application for
the assistance you require of the Secretary of State.
The applicant said, that the burglars in Beresford-street,
were so daring, that if foiled in breaking open a house one
night, they returned to the attack on the following day,
and only retired on hearing the inmates were about.
The applicant then withdrew, thanking the Magistrate
for the information relative to his application.

Lieut. Potter, of the navy, was charged with having
assaulted a constable named Berwick.
The Lieutenant, who has all the 'characteristics of a
sailor, stated, that a friend of his sent him from the coun-
try', a hare, a pheasant, a brace of partridges, and a couple
of rabbits as a Christmas present. On the evening in
question he called at the Gloucester coffee-house, where the
parcel was directed, and having stopped rather late, in tak-
ing a glass of grog with a friend, he intended to be economi-
cal, as lie was on half-pay, and save porterage by carrying the
parcel himself. He proceeded along unmolested, until he ar-
rived in the Kent-road, when the complainant stopped
him and insisted on seeing the contents of the basket. "
asked him," said the Lieutenant, " to show his authority,
but he refused to do so, and, .as I did not like my present
to be overhauled, by whom I did not know, I refused to
comply, at the came time describing my address and rank
in the navy. This explanation, however, was useless, and
I was most unceremoniously dragged off to the watch-house
I deny having assaulted him, for had I struck him a blow
it would have annihilated him. I defy him to show the
slightest mark.
The constable still persisted that he had been assaulted,
upon which the Magistrate told him he might indict the
Lieutenant at the sessions, but that it was not a case de-
manding bail.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 28.

Mrs. Ann Stubbs, formerly the proprietor of a
public-house called by the name of " The Robin
Hood," was opposed by Mr. Burnett, of Cromer-
street, Brunswick-square, a creditor for 401.
Mr. HEATH supported the petition.

The petitioner' succeeded the opposing creditor
in the public-house a considerable time ago, when
the " transfer" amounted to 1401., out of which
she paid 100/.; the balance was the cause of the
opposition now made to her discharge. Mr. Bur-
nett having arrested her, in consequence of which,
before her confinement, she had paid 71. law ex-
penses.
In We course of the insolvent's examination by
Mr. Burnett, who appeared in propria persona, the
latter asked her whether she was living with her
servant, which question he put several times.
Mrs. Stubbs replied in the negative.
Mr. HEATH submitted to the Court that those
questions were not put in a proper ,manner.
Mr. Burnett—l say the were, Sir; I know you,
and am as much a gentleman as you are. lam not
to be browbeaten by counsel—
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS interfered, and said—
" Sir, we will put an end to this case, if you do not
conduct yourself with propriety."
The opposing creditor then proceeded to address
the Court ; and while doing so, he referred to a
paper which contained memorandums, in order to
refresh his memory.
Mr. HEATH told him, that he must not look at
any paper while making a statement on his oath.
Mr. Burnett—You have no right to interfere, and
I tell you again, that I'll not be browbeaten by any
counsel.

We have great pleasure in announcing
that the smallpox, which for many months has
been prevalent in Sherborne, is now rapidly dis-
appearing. The mortality caused by this pesti-
lent disorder has been most severe, and the at-
mosphere, highly impregnated with the conta-
gion, has communicated it in many instances to
individuals who had been previously vaccinated ;
but it is most worthy of remark, that not a single
patient so situated has died in consequence of
the disease, and that a great majority of cases
were extremely slight and unimportant.—Dorset
Chronicle.
