POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSF-

A voting fellow named Grew; was brought before
the LORD MAYOR, charged with having robbeil a
!ittle bey, the son of a respectable solicitor, of his
cloak.

The child, it appeared, was walking along the
streets to school with great simplicity, and was
marked by the -ptiSorier, who went up to him and
asked him whether he Would not like to Imre a live
bird? " Oh, yes, the pretty creature,' said. •
the
boy. " then," said the prisoner, " come this
way, and I'll catch one for you with that cloak you
have-on- your back." The child immediately cort=..
sented, and the prisoner, in.answer to some playful
qUestion, told him that perhaps he would catch two
birds with the cloak. They then went up the steps
of a building which is let (nit in chambers, and the
prisoner was about to make off with. the cloak, leav-
ing the child Waiting ror the two live birds. A gen-
tleman, however, had observed the tricks of
.the
bird-catcher, and asked him where they were going.
" To school, to be sure," said the prisoner. " Oh,
ivliat a story," cried the little boy, " he was a going
to catch• two live bluiCistritte.-; De, 'Sir, pray let.
him i• Icewill eatcb,6;ett in.my c!otti" -The
Lird-
catcher was soon delivered into the huge!; of an
officer, who lorkedbitn up in the cage approptiated
to such customers, and'

The LORD MAYOR, who learned' that the prisoner
was in the habit of stripping children of their coats,
caps, and-even shoes, for the purpose
,of catching
birds, fully committed him for trial.
Four'young men, who, according to the technical
phrase, are engaged in walking the hospitals, were
charged by Mr. Sindry, the proprietor of the Mitre
Tavern; 'in Fish-street-hill, with having created a
riot in his house on Sunday to ht, between the hours.
of eleven and twelve.

Miss E. Sindry, ho had been attending at the
bar, deposal that the defendants entered the house
shortly after eleven o'clock, and called for four
glasses of gin, which they drank and- paid for ; they
then called for a pot of" half and half," which they
also drank, but for which they put down no more
than fourpence, the price being sevenpence.• When
full price waz. demanded, they became noisy. The
watchman wa,, however, referred to; and he, with
the assistance of some others, tool: the rio.ers to the
watch-house.

Mc. Hardy, a gentleman who occasionally visits
.the house, was occupied in takiug, a glaEs of . wine
in the bar at the time.

The LORD MAYOR—Priy, did you consider the
young men drunk Mr. Hardy--•No, my Lord, to
the beat of my judgment, they appeared to be about
half and half.

The LORD MAYOR Wished to know how the wit-
ness dit.ting,uished between whole drunk and half
drunk ? Witness (after some reflection i—The state
of half drunkenness strikes me as a frolicksome,
dancing and singing. sort of condition; but in whole
d ru: lenness people can neither dance nor sing, nor do
any.thing, but fall upon 'their noses.,--(Laughter.)

The LORD MAYOR—Are you quite sure you were
not a little frolicksopne yourself at the time? Wit-
-ness—quite certain: not at all approaching to it.
The waiter confirmed the account of the row,
and added, that one of the defendants chlteked his
hat into the bar, another kicked -him, the third
struck, and the fourth over-turned the servant maid. '
The defendants a:lnduct! the half-drunkenness de-
scribed by Mr. Hardy. They denied that they
