POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A shoemaker charred two of bis journeymen (very young men)
with having beaten him black and blue about the body.
The complainant stated, that after work was over on Saturday
evening, the defendants demanded some money from him, although
they were both in debt to him. Hr of course refined to allow
them to do him any further; upon which one of them neiresissoted
the candle, and then both of them tripped kiss up and thumped
Min most cruelly, all the time demanding his money, so that it was
little better than a highway robbery—( Laughter). His wife and
apprentice at length came to his assistance. He kept his mosey in
his pocket, but be suffered very much from doing so.
Sir l'risa Lama, who observed that the defendants were lads
of small dimensions, and not likely to be able to de much mischief
to a man in such a conflict, asked the complainant whether he was
sure he had given no provocation to them ?
The answer was decidedly in the negative—and the defendants
were asked why they had treated the person who employed them
so harshly? The lads replied, that they bad worked bard all the''
week for their wages, and that when the time came about when
they expected to be paid, their employer, who was a knowing hand
at speck of cards, proposed that they shield have a game or two.
To this proposal they foolishly consented, and being inexperienced
players, their master soon turned Mews up/ and when they would
play no more, told them they had lost their week's salary to him,
and refused to give them a farthing.
Sir Paves Latium asked the complainant whether it was true
that be and his journeymen played cards together ? The cons-,
plainant said that they certainly bad had • game at cards together,
but that had nothing at all to do with the assault. The game was
a mere innocent thing for amusement, and if a man lost, it was a
debt that ought to be paid, but not in the way he was paid.
The shoemaker's wire said, that her husband had been vilely
treated by the two fellows, whom he kept from the workhouse.—
They were fairly and honourably in debt to him, and it was most
dishonourable to attack him when be went to discharge pan the
debt to himself—(A laugh.)
Sir less Layout expressed a wish to hear what the apprentice
to the complainant had to say before be would consent to lock the
defendants up.
The apprentice then made his appearance, and was asked bow
his master had been treated ?-lle replied, that the shoemaker was
'reedy well knocked about.
Sir Pans Lavate—Was it in the room in which they played
cards? The Complainant—Not at all, your Wordily.
The Complainant's wife said it was quite in another room.
Sir l'irixa repeated his question to she apprentice.
The Apprentice—lt was in that room your Worship, and at th
card table.
Sir Peres LASSES immediattly discharged the complaint, mks
advised the journeymen to summon the complainant to the Court
of Requests fur the wages which he had so honourably won.

corner, in the Minories was brought up, charged with having com-
mitted various robbesie's upon his master.
Mr. Aunis stated, that the prisoner had been his confidential
servant, and often bad the key of an lion safe, in which there fro.
lineatly was money to the amount of upwards of I,OOW. Witness
bad been plundered within these few years to the amount of be-
tween 6001. and 7001. and be bad discharged darer or four servants
upon suspicion that they bad beets the thieves. On Saturday a he.
male, who bad pawned a diamond brooch at the shop, applied for
it, an..l it was net to be found ; information was however received
that the prisoner bad been seen wearing it, and upon being charged
with having appropriated the property, be confessed that. be bad
taken it and many other articles; in fact, that be had been ft r
eighteen months making away with his master's money, as well a.
the valuable pledges for which Sir. Annis was accountable.
Sir litres LASSIE asked Mr. Annis 'whether it was usual with
pawnbrokers to allow their devotes% to wear articles which were
pledged ?—Mr. Annis said, most decidedly not; such a thing was
never permitted.—. The prisoner was remanded.

stated, through the prisoner, that lie was a retired Officer of

to add to the income earned by his services, by embarking in trade
as a merchant. Ile stated also that be had fought at Waterloo, and
was severely wounded. Mr. Thompson, however, despite of all
this fine talking, required references before he would part with his
goods; and the pri,oner referred to bilr.Clinton. of Salisbury street,
Strand, where Grieve lodged, and to a person residing on Tower-
hill, whom they represented as a respectable merchant. Mr.
Thomp-on made inquiries, and found the person referred to in a
handsome counties-house, with several clerks and lots of account-
books about him. He said Grieve was a most respectable Preach
merchant ; and upon the strength of this representation the goods
ordered were sent to the house in Salisbury-meet. In two days
after they were delivered they were removed and sold to a Jew for
one-filth of the cost price, and absolutely hawked abase the streets

He was remanded foe further examination, and instructions
given to the officers to apprehend Grieve as soon as possible.
William Lucas Janssen was finally examined. for stealing the
two gold watches from the sale-room of blesses. Robins, the auc-
tioneers.—The porter stated, that about nine on the morning of the
robbery he hung the watches up. The prisoner, whom be knew
only by sight, entered shortly after, and after looking over the
goods departed. He bad not been long gone when Mr. Bentley
arrived, and on his asking for the watches, it was ascertained that
they had been stolen. The prisoner was the only person who had
beets there.—He was fully consatitted.
