POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION—HOUSE.
Passau Rams—Some .of the inhabitants of the parish of Bishops.
gate were yesterday sumo need before the Loma Maros, for hav-
ing refused to pay the parish rates. Their motives fur refusing
was not the usual one of inability—they were all men in good eir -1
cumatances ; but they withheld the demand upon them upon the
ground that there was a disgraceful inequality in the mode of
asetwenent.
The Vestry Clerk asserted that there was no truth in the charge.
The LORD Mayon said. that it would be most advisable in the
defendants to appeal at the London Sessions against the rate. It
was not in his power to alter it. The Act required that be should
issue an order for the payment of it, upon proof being shown that
the defendants were unwilling to pay. He recommended the de-
fendants by all means to apply to the London Sessions, if they
thought themselves unfairly treated ; and as the Court bad sW
power in them to quash or amend the assessment, no doubt dse
matter would be fully investigated.
The order was then made, and the defendants stated that they
would appeal at the Sessions.

for aU the world, swear to him, if I had the mallest doubt ; but

Mr..Sniniamaa, Solicitor for the prosecution, said be bad on.
dertaken to procure further evidence by this day, to show that thei
prisoner, on the evening of the robbery, was at the Swan with Two
Necks, in the neighbourhood of Mrs. Mountain's house, in new
pany with three other men ; and Mrs. Jackson, the landlady et
that Inn, ha&been summoned, but it unfortunately happened that
it was her servants, and not herself, who could speak to that fact.

manded.
Air. Alutsuutt said, be would first bear what Mrs. Jackson had
to say on the subject.
Mrs. Jackson said. she bad seen the prisoner twice at her bruise,
but k was subsequent to the burglary at Mrs. Mountain's. 'Pe
came is a cart which had neither name nor number on It. and be
was asked if he was net afraid of an information being laid against
him ?
Mr. Weider, who attended for the prisoner. said that he had wit.
masts present who ec.uld prove an alibi, but it would be uselese.to
call them in the teeth of the positive declaration which Lawrence
had made.—The prisoner was then remanded until Wednesday.
