POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

hi A NSION-TIOUSF.
Friday night last, a number of Lascars called at the Mansion-
House, with their &rang, and insisted upon seeing the LORD Marna.
They were sent to the Compter till the following morning, when
Captain Garrick, against whom they complained, appeared. 'lle
Lascars charged Captain Garrick that he bad acted with great
cruelty towards them in the Isle of France, and had withheld their
pay. They all declared their abhorrence at the mere idea of going
abroad, and said they would sooner be hanged in England than fall
under the hands of the Captain at sea.—Captain Garrick said, that
at the Isle of France he had advanced some money to the Serang,
who immediately afterwards disappeared, and refused to return to
the ship, after having encouraged the men to do the same thing,
until the Police laid hands upon him. He (the defendant) had
given his bond for tlOOOl. to the East India Company as ,a security
for the return of the crew, and if he gave them their demands, the
fairness of which he at once admitted, he should never be able to
fulfil his engagement. The moment they arrived, a number of ex-
tortioners and dissolute females got round them, and encouraged
them to make a bard push for their money. The Serang, whose
obstinacy was most extraordinary, led the way in the business, and
had collected money from the men, in order to defray all the ex-
penses of the holding out against the Company. As soon as the ship
should fall down to Gravesend, he (the Captain) would give each
man two months in advance; but for his own sake, as well as for
the men's, be should not give them a halfpenny until that time. He
was convinced, that if the Serang were to lead the way, the nen
would follow without hesitation. They at length consented to go,
upon the promise that he would nut visit any punishment upon
them, when they were in his power.

BO W-sT E II: T.
Saturday, Michael Moore, late acting Purser of his 11Iajesty's ship
Liverpool, was brought up for re-examination, charged with
having sent in forged and fraudulent documents to the Victualling
Office, with intent to defraud his Majesty the King. Ile had been
remanded from Wednesday last, on purpose to give him an oppor-
tunity of procuring legal advice; but he had nobody in attendance,
and he accounted for it by saying that he had not the means of
procuring the assistance of any person. In reply to the charge, he
complained of having had so many duties imposed upon him whilst
on board the Liverpool ; and was at the same time so harassed
and driven about by the Officers, thut he could do nothing pro-
perly. The accounts in question, he said, were made up whilst he
was thus harassed, and therefore it was not wonderful i(they were
not exactly correct.
The Magistrate told him, however this might be, there was quite
sufficient evidence to warrant his commitment, and he was accord-
ingly committed to Newgate for trial at the ensuing Sessions.
It is a singular fact, that this unhappy man has persisted in
making that claim on the Victualling Office for which he is now
about to be tried for his life, though be was repeatedly told what
would be the consequence.

! WUAT A STOUT' !" OA, MARTIN T. Charles
Chivers was charged, before G. R. Misstict.t., Esq. and Lord
Motorrroas, on Saturday last, with beating and mobbing one Ur.
Aminadab Martin—against the peace of cur Sovereign Lord the
King, his Crown and. dignity.
Mr. Charles Chivers is a youthful supernumerary compositor, or
gendentan no*" in a printing establishment. Mr. Aminadab Mar-
tin is a stitcher of neat's leather, for the feet of the ICing's lieges
by day, and a dispenser of bills of the play by night ; a very harm-
iess, curly-headed, and, seemingly, ill-used little personage in a

coat.

Mr. Aminadab Martin opened the business by stating his case;
and it appealed thereby, that as he, the said Aminadab, was sedu-
lously selling his play-bills the other evening, Mr. Charles Chivers
came up to him, with arms a-kimbo, and plainly told him, the said
Aminadab, that he was a dirty, disagreeable, detrimental little
devil—a foul-mouthed, evil-speaking, sanctified, and cantankerous
coxcomb ; and that he, the said Charles Chivers, had a very good
mind to twist his noae off, in proof thereof. It appeared further,
that the said Aminadab requested the said Charles not to put him-
self in such a passion—inasmuch as he was totally unconscious of

having offended him, and was, therefore, by no means deserving of
having his nose twisted off as aforesaid. But nevertheless the said
Charles agitated himself more and more—declaring that the said
Aminadab was all those queer things which he had called him, and
a coward to boot, unless he would immediately peel and turn to.—
May, k appeared, that the said Aminadab, instead of turning to,
turned tail and fled, pursued by a mob of shouting boys, and the
said Charles Chivers bumping him behind until he took refuge in
the sanctuary of his own house—panting and frightened almost out
of his wits.

" And pray, what could be his motive for thus attacking you ?"
asked the Magistrate, when Aminadab had concluded his narration.
" Upon my soul and body !" replied little Aminadab, " I know
ne more than the pen in your Worship's hand."
Now, your Worship," said Mr. Charles Chivers, " if Mr.
Martin has done, I will tell you all about it, from the very begin;
tang." Me then took by the hand a very pretty girl who was
standing behind him, and leading her forward, still holding the dam-
set by the hand, be proceeded—" This Lady is my wife, your Wor-
ship. She is the daughter of the Lady in whose house I and my
mother, and Mr. Martin and his mother, resided. I paid my ad-1
dresses to her, and she listened to me, and we married, u your
Worship may naturally suppose"—
" Indeed," said his Worship, interrupting him, " I should sup-
pose no such thing, for neither of you seem more than eighteen
years old !"
" Aye, that's what I say !" exclaimed Mr. Amin actab Martin ;
and his Worship having told Amlnadab he had better say nothing,
Mr. Charles Chivers went on :—" We are young, your Worship,
it can't be denied ; but that's not the quifstion; and we may be as
true to each other, and understand maul:nosey as well as older folks."
His Worship smiled, and the blushing Mrs. Chivers squeezed her
husband's hand--u much as to say, do get on with your story. So
be went on and said—" It so happened that Mr. Martin paid his
addresses to ber at the same time that I did ; but she wouldn't lis-
ten to him, though he actually offered her two sovereigns if she
would only marry him !"
" Oh ! what a story !" exclaimed the indignant Aminadab.—
" Your Worship, upon—my—word—and honour, she was always
osscoesusou coning till Mr. Cblvers came to live in our house; and
then It was all my eye 'deb me! She was so food of me' your
Worship, before he came, that she went ot io buy the wsddon
ring herself ! Now, did'nt you, Charlotte r

Charlotte blushed—rathei consciously, but she did not vouchsafe
a reply to the tender appeal; and Lord Mountford asked Arnim-
dab, why, when the Lady had bought the ring, he did not apply it
to the purpose for which it was bought?
" Nab, now," replied Aminadab, " It's very cruel, Sir, to joke on
Lich subjects."
Mr. Charles Chivers case more resumed his narrative, and said,
that Anariadab was so angry with Charlotte for marrying bins, that

be took es`eiT oppottaalty of slandering her elaracter, and bed tires
gone so far as to say to enelle. Tibbs—" Aye, Charley Claims
has got her at last..bist he has asap got my Aft." !"
" Ois what a story l” again 4 Antins‘ab—d,', yaw Wor-
ship, I never said any Web thing- AU I said was as this • tbat
Charley Chivers had a little Its* by Betsy little Bets; yol
know;--I forgot her name—bat he had a little bobby by her; and
all lad was that it was a very gnat •sbame. And se k was your
Worship—now wasn't it T—'specially when be was come a courting
to Charlotte?"
Mr. Cldvers said this was of a piece with Aminadab's other ciao.
dens. " Bat," added be, " I beat him for slandering my safe ; and
I hops year Worship will think he deserved k."
The Magistrate told Mr.Oziven that, however he might be pro.
yoked by Mr. Martin, he was not to take the law into his own
, bands, and beat him. He might have bad his action for slander, and
I there was no doubt he would have obtained justice.
" Justice !" exclaimed Andnadab ; " bis not justice he watts,
your World!). Be wants to knock sae aboat Ina as be would a
dog ; for when he came up to me so wegeosisty in the street, i
said to him,' Can't it be done without/W*oe there's juoi
be had without that,' said I; he said,' jturice / give j'att..re
to puppy dogs! I'll bare satisfaction.' "
Mr. Cbarles Chivers was now proceeding to enter into an expla-
nation of this very irreverent exclamation of his, but the Magistrate
diamissed the matter by recommending Mr. Aminadab Martin to
restrain his tongue, and Mr. Chinks Chiyen to keep his fits to
himself ; and, in order that the said Charles might remember tb.
recommendation, he directed that the warrant should be suspendtd
over him is tamest.

M A It A-BONNE OFFICE.
James Owen, a Gentleman of fashionable appearance, was brought
to this Office, in custody of Staples, on a Bench warrant, charged
with a gross libel on George Frederick Sampson, chemist, of Craw-
ford-street, Portman-square. This Gentleman had evaikti the of-
ficers with surprising desterity, shifting his quarters every other
day, but at last he was captured in Quebec-street, New Road. Ile
was committed in default of ►ail till the Sessions. •

Dyson, well known on account of the transaction that took
place some time since on the Thames in a boat, whma a young wo-
man in his company was drowned, and be was tried for it at the
Old Bailey, was brought to this Office by Stowell, chrrged with as-
saulting a young woman named Keeble, of No. 6, York-buildirv,
New-road, with an attempt to commit a rape. The CX&MitlatiVl
was private.
After a considerable time taken up in the investigation, he was
ordered to find bail, himself In SOL and two sureties in 251. e4:11

STRIOCR OT eau &WILMA ICRILS.—Thomas Smith was chdtged rncier
an Aet of the last Sessions of Parliament, with intimidating jou nity-
men from working for a Mr. Paulson, a ladies shoemaker in Ox-
ford-street. Mr. P. has reduced the prices of his work, and numbers
of the journeymen have not only themselves refused to work fqr
him, but have interdicted others, and placed a watch on his door
to prevent men from being employed. On Friday evening a young
man, who had taken a pair of shoes from the shop to make, was
stopped by the prisoner, who told him he must nct work for that
shop, and he therefore returned with the shoes, aid stated bis reasaa
for so doing. Mr. Paulson immediately went out andapprebended
the prisoner.—Mr. Mauro attended for the prisoner, and took as
objection to the Magistrate's jurisdiction, because no information
had been filed, and the case stands over till to-morrow.

THAMES POLICE

Tuesday, a fine young man belonging to an gnglish
family of the name of M'Kennin, residing at Boulogne,
whilst bathing there, was unfortunately drowned.
On the 10th instant three Whiteboys entered a farm-
house neat Ballyhoura, close to the neare,t post, at ele-
ven, P.M. and demanded 11. for the assistance of the pi
toners in Cork jail; the farmer said he had no money is
the house; they repeated their demand with threats of
burning his house, and of houghing his cows if he re-
fused. They-were armed, the first with a gun, a second
with a scythe, and the third with a brace of pistols.
Two went down to his fields to maim his cows, and left
the other as sentinel near the house; the farmer slipped
out a little girl to alarm a neighbour and get assist-
ance,, when three or four came up with pitch fries, and
surrounded the fellow, until a party of the 22d regi-
ment, who were sent for, came down, and secured him
with his gun. lie proves to be a labourer of Mr. She:-
lock's, who lives near the detachment barracks, from
whom the gun was stolen two years ago. He was com-
mitted for the Assizes—the other two escaped.
A gang of swindlers, assuming the garb and appear.
ance of horse-dealers,is now infesting Bath. They fre-
quent the public-houses, where, under pretence of lily loc-
o
and selling horses among each other, they exhibit Ras:,
notes to large amounts; and if there should be a coun-
tryman or stranger present, they invite him to drink,
and when affected by the liquor so pressed upon him,
they propose some subtle wager or nefarious game,
whereby the unwary dupe is*swiudled out of his pro-
perty. If these arts fail, their victim will nevertheless
be robbed by other means. On Friday they intoxicated
and afterwards robbed a Frenchman, an artificial florist,
of eight sovereigns. They were on Saturday appre-
hended, and taken before the Magistrates.; but there
not being sufficient evidence to commit them, they were
again let loose to prey upon the credulous. They prove
to be old offenders.
