POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M A NSION-H OUSE.
Three young men, named WiLkinana, Skeen, and BISINS,'Were
brought before the Loan Mayon charged with having stolen three
leavesrtke property of Mr. Babe;, a baker, in Loodoo.wall. The
case was rather a remarkable one.
(Me of the three walked into Mr. Saber's shop a few mornings
agO, took up three loaves, and turning out into the street, handed
a loaf to each of his companions, and ran away. It seems that
thieves have often visited the shop and stolen biscuits, cakes, &c.
auk the cOmplainant was determined to make an example of the
isM that should be apprehended in the act of robbing on the pre.
gibes. The prisoners tore the loaves in pieces, and upon being
paused pretended to be voraciously hungry, but they happened to
be too weU fed to be able to eat, so that the imposture was most
easily detected. They were taken into custody, and on being asked
why they committed such an outrage, they said they would be
d--d If they would die of hunger for any one; and as they could
not sweat, they would get bread wherever they could.
The Loss MATOS asked them whether they bad not applied for

podia relief?
Wilkinson.—" Vy, yes, ve applied, but the dicers would not give
us no money, and I should think we wouldn't starve for no-
body. Vat right have we to starve any more nor yourself, my
Lord blayor ? "
The Lotus ilfAvos-ml'll show you that you shall not commit an
impudent robbery without being punished for it. The prosecutor
has been plundered and annoyed by such raglans as you are fre-
quently, and to prison you shall go.
Sheen.--,' It's very hard that a poor man can't take a bit of
bind to satisfy nature without being grabbed for it. We have no
right to starves for we are bond indusulaus men, and we can't
help it if we can't get oodtift to do."
Brown-0 I can tell your Lordship, if you don't know it, that
bs a disamrable thin to be hungry--if it an't I'm blowed."—

The Loa, Massa having ascertained that the prisoners be-
longed to Whiteehapel parish sent foc die keeper of the workhouse,
and guestieoed him about them.
The keeper said that the prisoners were three of the most idle
and refractory vepboodsin the parish. The parish bad set up
each of them in his trade several times, but they an sold or pawned
their tools and gave themselves up to smoking, drinking, and
thieving; they bad been 4, pulled" by the police before, and if not
checked they would, no doubt. engage in some desperate offence.
The Loan Ma:masked the prisoners what they bad to say?
Skeen said that he had in vain applied to the parish; they would
give him no money; aU they could be prevailed upon to give was a
little bread and cheese, alid not more of that than would feed a
moderate used rat.
Wilkinson...No, nor it wa'nt good neither; it Vent he for a
beggar; it I could eat it I'm blamed.
Aldermen Areas., who sat with the 1401111 Mayor to **diode
on :natters of parochial business, said, that be never saw three
fellows who deserved punishment better; it was terrible to see
such fellows at liberty. Magistrates had not the power to inflict
a punishment ofsellicient severity, and therefore be thought the
best plan would be to send them ter trial to the Old Bailey, where,
before their conviction. care would be taken to make them safer.

The Loan Maros adopted this advice.
QUERN—SQU A RR.
Patrick Herne and Daniel Newland were charged with creating
a riot andossattning Mr. William Rhodes, the landlord of the BeU
and Anchor, at Hammersmith.
Mr. Rhodes stated. that. about half-past six o'clock on Sunday
evening be was sitting at his door. when the prisoner came up, in a
state of intoxication, and Herne asked him for a pot of porter, but
seeing the state they were in, he refused to serve them,whea Herne
began to abuse him la the grossest language, and swore he would
take his life if he did not serve him ; the other prisoner also assisted
him. and put his fiat in ,his face. He bore the treatment very
patiently for about twenty minutes, but the tiutous conduct of the
prisoners became so bad that the whole neighbourhood was dis-
turbed, and be was forced to send for an *Meer, who took Herne
into custody. Newland ran away, and brought back with hint
about 30 Irishmen to rescue his comrade. and It was with the
greatest dillicuby and danger they got Hearne to the watchhouse.
The prisoners, in defence, said they were so drunk they did not
know what they were about.
Mr. Gaseous said that Mr. Rhodes bad acted perfectly right In
sending them to the marathons,. and he hoped that all Licensed
Victuallers would act in a similar manner when such outrageous
conduct occurred. The prisoners must pay a line of 10s. each. or
be imprisoned for ono week.
Mr. Warn told Newland, that if one of the men he had brought
with him to rescue his friend had struck Mr. Rhodes, he should
law felt himself justified in seeding him for three months to the
Bow of Correction.'
Us prisoners, In default of payment, were then locked sp.
