POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Maosiots-Hocrs.-46TZAIM:Ilmers.—Mr. Gable, the conductor
of some steant.boats, attettded upon the Loan Maros., and re-
quested his Lordship's interference ;with respect to a practice by
which the lives of the Public were daily endangered, and•which,
Udes checked, must occasion great loss of life. Mt. Gable
stated, that upon the arrival of the Margate and Itamsgate steam-
boats, the vraternten crowded round them in such cumbers, as
not only to incur great danger themselves, but to put in immi-
nent peril the lives of those passengers who ventured with them.
On Tuesday, when 1,500 persons arrived by three steam-boats,
one wherry, with a Gentleman and two females, was swamped,
in consequence of the rush and contention of the watermen for
the pa3tengers. Another Gentleman, who had got into tote of the
boats, tumbled overboard, and was with thifizulty saved. None
.of the w.uernien would leas'e the ,team-boats until they had got
one passerger ; and besides the improper contentions with c.cli 1
other near the vessels, there were eotitinual quarrels on shore'
amongst them and the passenger+, no whom they endeavoured to
i opost by charging id. or even 6d. for each, when 2d. was the
pruper fare. Nr. Gable hoped that his Lordship would kindly
itn.:rfc re, and cause sonic regulation to be adopted likely to put
an end to the danger and inconvenience arising from the present
conduct of the watermen in their struggles for precedence. Seve-
ral ptrauns who bad been landed front the steam-boats corrobo-
.rated the statement of the complainant, and said the extortion,
insolence' and riotous conduct of the watcrmen, were intolerable.
The Loan 11Avos expressed his readiness to check the nui•
sance. Any case of overcharge would be dealt with by the Ma-
gistrate in a summary manner. As the regulation of the water-
men was peculiarly the province of the Watermen's Company,
who inter the power of making by-laws, his Lordship directed
,Ir. Brown, the Marshal, to wait upon the Company, and lay
the case before them, that they might take such measures as they
• t :ought would effectually ensure the public safety.
