POLICE.

MANSION Housv.--Veherflay an examination
took place before the I.ceD M tycie,af a private na-
cure. The charge exhibited was an affiult,made by
a Gentleman upon a Mr.Wiftman, who is a tailor.
Mr. W. flated,that he was coming through White-
chapel the night before, ah"ut eight o'clock, and
obferved the Gentleman alluded to, in eompany !
with three other perfons, whom, froth their fingii-
lar behavi..or, lie was induced to notice. This be-
ing obferved by the prifoner, he de6red the cam.;
plainant to walk on ; the latter not immediately
complying with the requeft, was feized by the pri
toner, who (truck him a violent blow with a tuck
(lick, and otherwife ill heated him : he was ant-
ed by the two men who were in company with
him. After fume time he difengaged himfelf and
ran off ; the prifoner immediately purtned, and
having come up with him, charged him with heal-
ing his watch. He was of cautfe taken into
cullody, and the prefent profecutor charged him
with the affault. In this (late they were conveyed
to the watch houfe, and the conflable of the night
demanding the name of the prifoner, he replied,
Napoleon Joubert : this condua appearing very
fingular, the conftable afked him if that was his
real name ? He then laid it was Nongtongpaw,
and did not perfift in charging the complainant
with the robbery. The conftable perceiving the
matter to wear a complex appearance, dilated
them both to be conveyed to the Poultry Compter.
This was the fubftance of the charge alledged
againft him by Mr. Wifentan, which was materi-
ally confirmed by tome other witnetfts, from whole
teftimony it appeared, that, at the time he was
conveyed to the Compter, he had an excellent
head of hair, which he took occasion to cut clean
off with a pair of fciffars which he had in his poc-
ket. The Lord Mayor obferving, from the whole
of his condut% that he was not perfally lane,
treated him with the greateft humanity. The con-
(tables produced fome letters which they found
about him, and which were addre Wed to finite of
the firll perfonages in the kingdom ; and alfo a
kind of law knife, which he laid he contlantly
carried about him for the purpofe of cutting off
the fpurs of cocks. He was afked what he had to
fay to the charge ? when he replied, that it was
true he did touch the complainant with his flick,
becaufe he had behaved in a moll ungentlemanlike
manner, in flaring at the company in which he
was. He perfihed that he had a watch about him,
which he valued at feventy guineas, and which,
he Paid, he had loft, but could not pofitivcly fay
that the complainant had taken it. He faid that
his name was Joubert, and that he was the inti-
mate friend and companion of Bonaparte, whom
he had known from his boyifh days, had been
with him in all his battles, and that the report
which had been circulated refptaing his having
fallen in battle was falfe, for that he was the iden-
tical perfon. He talked a great deal of his no-
ble connations, and of his having been ill ufed in
the Compter. From the whole tenor of his con-
dat, it was evident thatliis intelleas are impaired.
Among the papers found about him, was one pur-
porting to be an acknowledgment for the penalty
of zol. on the non-performance of an engagement
to fight Belcher, the noted bruizer, within a cer-
tain time. Several Gentlemen who knew the pri-
loner came forward to teftify in his behalf, and
fpoke as to their knowledge of his derangement.
It appeared that fume years fince, he had entered
hianfelf as a private in the regulars, and had ac-
tually gone to the Weft Indies, where lie was dif-
charged. The Lord Mayor obferved to him, that
the charge was rather of a ferious nature, and it
would he proper to have it further inveftigated ;
therefore, for the prefent, he mutt remand him to
the New Compter in Giltfpurdireet. He was ac-
cordingly remanded for the prefent.
Wifeman was difcharged without fees, and his
Lordfhip promifed he fhould be• remunerated for
his trouble.

Several diforderly women were brought up, two
of whom were charged by Mr. Canner, one of the
City Marlhals, with affaulting him on the preced-
ing evening in the execution of his duty. Mr.
Canner Rated, that thefe women were in the ha-
bit of frequenting Fleet-ffreet, where their contlat
was of the molt indecent fort ; he accordingly de-
fired them to go about their bufmefs. Inttead of
attending to his advice, they abufed him in the
molt violent manner, and on his endeavouring to
force them on, one of them began to kick him.—
His Lordfhip, in order to deter others from com-
mitting the like offence, ordered them to be com-
mitted to Bridewell and privately corrected.
W flaw Will was charged before his Lordfhip
.arils of printed cotton from the

with Realing fix

ftreet. A Mr. Lewis far; the prifoner take th:.
cotton from the (hop door, and immediately pur.
fri,:d him and found the cotton twiled round his
arm. The prifoner, in his defence, faid that he Was
a hackney c-achmati, and had hem out of emp:i y
for three weeks; he entreated hi, Lordiliip to
!hew him mercy, it briny his tirlt offence. He was
fully committed for trial.
