POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE
In the course of some conversatio► between Alderman &noire,
Mr. Nobler, and a person connected with one of the steam-ousels,
which go up the More with parties of pkasure, it was stated, that
gangs of thieves, who dressed like pedestals, were in the habit of
becoming passengers, for the purpose of committing robberies.
On Monday last, several of those speculaton gut into oar of those
vessels. and commenced pretended quarrels in order to raise con.
fusion, by which they might be enabled to carry on their depre-
dations more successfolly.
One of the hiarskaimen said, that this practice had existed a
long time, and in consequence of the crowded state of those vessels
it 'sad become very difikuit to Ax upon the party that plundered.
A dispute was got up amongst four or Ave perseos who appeared
to be strangers, and those who Interfered to prevent mischief,
generally came of second best. pocket{ were turned inside out, and
often cut with the greatest skill.
Alderman Scooter said, that the evil was a dreadful one, and
must be immediately prevented.
It was stated that the proprietors of t►e vessels were most
anxious for the protection of the Public, who were subject to this
mode of plunder, and that it would be necessary to have con-
stables to attend upon every occasion on which the steamers were
crowded.
' A steward of one of the steamers was robbed of seven one-
reigns no Itlooday last.
Alderman Sumter stated, that the steam-vessels which took in
and landed passengers in the City, should of course be properly
attended to, for the protection of the Public. and no doubt at the
Thames Police Mee, adequate measures would be adopted to
abate the existing evil.
