It can be viewed until the sale ; and printed Particulars

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr.. Neal, of Tower-hill, and other gentlemen,
whose property had been detained by a person named
Benson, who has been receiving goods at the White
Bear Inn, Basinghall-street, under the circumstances
detailed in our paper of Saturday, appeared at the
Justice-room to give additional evidence against
Benson. The remarkable audacity of the refusal of
Benson to give up the property which ought long
since to have reached its destination, attracted seve-
ral men of business to the justice-room,and the gene-
ralcry was, that the complainants ought to go upon
the premises of the defendant, and take forcible pos-
session of their goods. Whether, if the defendant
bad persisted in his refusal, they could have resorted
to this very excusable course is not known, but
before they were long at the Mansion-house Mr.
Benson appeared, and told the Lord Mayor that he
had, he regretted to say, been labouring under an
error in detaining the goods, but he now saw his
error, having this day, for. the first time, consulted a
solicitor on the subject. He should therefore give
up the whole of the property, upon receiving an un-
dertaking from the complainants, that he should be '
protected against any ill consequences which might
arise from the dissatisfaction that might be felt by
Mr. Robinson, whose agent he was.
The gentlemen showed no disinclination to make
this very slender compromise, and the Lord Mayor
expressed his approbation of the prudence which Mr.
Benson had at length manifested.
An elderly woman, of respectable appearance,
named Gleason, presented to the Lord Mayor a
note, addressed to his Lordship from the Mayor of
Limerick, requesting that his Lordship would be
kind enough to render some assistance to the bearer
in her endeavours to obtain the amount of a debt
which had been contracted by a gentleman of that
city, under circumstances of rather a peculiar nature.
The LORD MAYOR expressed his surprise at so
strange a request, but his surprise ceased when he
heard the woman's explanation of her case.
Mrs. Glennon stated, that she had been a great
many years acting in the most respectable families
in Limerick as a midwife, and in that capacity was
introduced to the family of a gentleman whose wife
was afflicted with a mental malady. She attended
the unfortunate lady in her accouchement, and had
been required by the husband to give her attendance
since 1826 constantly. Mrs. Glennon had a
daughter who had just reached her Nth year, who
was in the habit of assisting her in the course of her

hales. The gentleman who appeared upon all oc-
casions to set a high value upon those services, was,
However, very slack in paying for them. The
amount of the bill at last reathed 1401., and Mrs.
Glennon was looking to that property as air inde-
pendence for her child, who was exceedingly inno-
cent and inexperienced. Instead, however, of ob-
,aining the atfidutit which she had been promised
from time to time, she ItaJ COMpietely left in the
lurch, and her daUghter was basely stolen from her
by the person who was indebted to her, and who had
succeeded in seducing the poor girl. After the first
distraction had subsided, she learned that her
;laughter's seduffer had set off for London with his
wife and family and her child; and vith.no more
than a few shillings in her pocket, she followed,
after having made her case known to the Mayor of
Limerick, who judged from the well-known -huma-
nity of the Lord Mayor of London, that assistance
would, if possible, be grante,,d to her.
The LORD MAYOR—Your story is indeed a me-
lancholy one, and I wish it was in my power to be
of service to you. Have you traced this person
who has acted so cruelly?—Mrs. Genitor' had
learned that his trunks had juCt arrived in London
by the Emancipation steam-packet, but she had not
heard where he was to be found himself.
• The LORD MAYOR asked her whether she might
not be mistaken as to the nature of the intimacy
between her debtor and her daughter ?—She re-
plied that she certainly was not. She had, since
they came away, ascertained that there was no
doubt of its criminality.
The LORD MAYOR said, that perhaps she might
have attended the family in the capacity of servant,
and a mother's fears might have put the worst con-
struction upon the matter.
Mrs. Glennon shook her head, and with tears
gushing from her eyes, said she was convinced her
child was ruined. The lady of the family was
quite out of her mind, and of course was incapable
of judging or acting as a rational woman would in
such a case. Of the loss of the money, although
it was her hard earnings for years, and. was all she
was entitled to in the world, she would think
nothing, if she could recover her poor child.
The LORD MAYOR sent to the Master of the
Emancipation packet, to request that he would not
let the trunks out of his possession until the owner
made his appearance himself.
The request was, we understand, intended to be
complied with; but the owner of the trunks seemed
to be aware of what was going forward, and neither
sent nor called for them.
Mrs. Glennon again waited upon his Lordship,
and informed him she had heard that the gentleman
whom she sought had come to London in order to
visit a relation from whom he had great expecta-
tions, and that that relation was a clergyman, re-
siding at Epsom. She thought a member of that
holy profession would willingly assist her in her
great object of getting back her child, but she had
no means of reaching him.
The LORD MAYOR immediately wrote to a friend
of his, who lives in the neighbourhood, requesting
that he would inquire whether the clergyman
named was known at Epsom, and his Lordship
received an answer in the affirmative. He: sug-
gested to Mrs. Glennon the propriety of waiting
upon the clergyman.
Mrs. Glennon was sure that she would be treated
with the humanity which an unhappy stranger, ap-
plying on so heart-rending an occasion; was accus-
tomed to meet in England. In her own country,
her case, which was known to several worthy per-
sons, was greatly pitied.
During the whole of her conversation with the
Lord Mayor, the mother's feelings were exhibited
in a manner that could not be misconstrued.

The LORD MAYOR supplied her with the means
of defraying her expences to Epsom, and those
which it might be necessary for her to contract un-
til her return to London, and advised her to dis-
close every thing to the relative, from whom the
family who were under such obligations to her, and
from one of whom she had sustained such dreadful
injury, had such expectations.
