PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.
Henry Knott alias Nott, who was a few days ago charged
with having plundered a number of tradesmen, whom he ordered
to send goods to his warehouse, at No. 62, Sun-street, Bishops-
gate-street, was brought before the Lord Mayor for a second
examination. The Justice-room was crowded wit', the victims
of the prisoner.
The prisoner upon looking round, said that the room was
filled with his creditors.—(A laugh.)
Mr. J. Hampden Crutch, of King's-place, Commercial-road,
stated, that the prisoner, of whom he knew nothing, called
upon him, and, after describing himself as a commission traveller,
who received the commission once a month, asked fur credit
for that time for some grocery. Witness said he would give
the credit if a respectable reference were given. " Oh," said
the prisoner, " 1 can give you as good as any in London," and
referred him to a Mr. Edwards, butcher, in Spectacle-alley,
Whitechapel, o ho, upon being questioned, certainly did speak
highly of Mr. Knott, declaring that the gentleman was a most
upright tradesman, and paid not only for what he 'ordered, but
what he borrowed, with the utmost punctuality• Credit to
the amount of 21. 10s. was accordingly given, but Mr. Knott
wanted more and more, and witness, after a very few visits, sus-

The prisoner nodded his acquiesence in the statement, and
told his solicitor there was an invoice, and the transaction was
as regular as any of the rest.
Mr. Ludlow, the representative of Messrs. Beasley, Smith,
and Co., ale and porter merchants, stated, that the prisoner had
" done " the concern out of about 121. worth of bottled ale when
he resided in Mitre-street, New_cut, and appeared to be carry-
ing on the business of a hat-manufacturer. Not content with
having got in a quantity of the best ale, Mr. Knott intro•
duced a friend of his of the name of Kitcher, or rather
4. Catcher," who followed the example. They even appointed
a certain day at twelve o'clock for the payment of their ac-
counts, but they went off bag and baggage at five o'clock in
the morning. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the con-
tents of the house had been taken in a van to the Borough-
road, kept there all night, and removed, the Lord knows where,
in the morning. Mr. Knott had promised 12s. a dozen for tho
ale, which was of the best quality, but he did not even return
the bottles.
The LORD MAYOR—.DO you expect the bottles ?—(Laugh-
ter. ) Witness—Not at all.
Mr. Hunt—You regularly sold him the ale ; did you not?
Witness—Certainly. I was introduced to him by a friend of
mine, whom he victimised. '-
Prisoner—All a correct tradesman-like transaction, I assure
you, my Lord.—(Laughter.) I owe for the ale most posi-
tively.
The Loan MAYOR (to Mr. Ludlow)—This is downright
swindling; but you have given him credit ? Witness—l know
it, my Lord, but I came forward for the sake of the public.
Mr. W. Flaxtuan, of Barbican, stationer, said that in his
absence a person called at his house from Mr. Smith's, in Sun-
street, and desired that a ledger, value 11. 33., anti a day book,
should be sent thither, and stated that the clerk would pay for
them. The ledger ailai left at Sun-street by the messenger,
who was informed by a porter that the clerk and Mr. Knott
were out, but that if he would call in the afternoon the money
should he ready.' Of course not a farthing was ever received.
Mr. John Clayton stated that he let ahouse in Montagu-
street to the Owner, who gave him a bill for the fixtures, but
Mr. Knott, the moment he got possession, went off to the land-
lord of the house and sold him the fixtures.—( Laughter. )
The Lotto MAvox—Did you make no inquiry about the
bill ? Witness—Yes, I asked him whether the acceptor vtas
respectable, and he said that no man could be more so.—.
(Laughter. )
The Lost" MAYOR—And so you took his word for the re-
spectability of his friend? Witness—l really thotight the bill
was a good one, but I found out that it was Just the reverse,
( Great laughter. )
The Loan MAvoa—You found it would not de. Witness
—Exactly so, your Lordship.
Prisoner—'fle made me out a bill of parcels in the regular
way. your Lordship. I have a cart on the premises, which
cost 141. and I cannot get that.
Mr. Hunt _My client is willing to give up that. He
admits that he has no claim to it.
Witness —Oh, but it is detained for money, which the pri-
soner owes.—( Laughter.)
Mr. John Heavens, of Ship Tavern-passage, Leadenhall-
street, market salesman, stated that the prisoner's clerk, of
whom he hail some knowledge, called upon him, and said he
had a good customer for the house, and ordered books and
stationary far Mr. Knott, to the amount of 71. 13s. 7d. Wit-
ness sent a young man with the goods ordered, and desired
him not to leave them except he saw that the house was a re-
spectable one. The messenger left the articles, and gave a
favourable account of the house, and attempts were made to
get more goods, but without avail ; and as witness rather
bothered the premises in Sun-street with calls, Mr. Knott
waited upon him, and said all should be paid in art honourable
