POLICE. •
MANstow-noust.---e Of conssueraute time, the lahattl-
tants of Thames-street, and the other streets by the water
side, have been disturbed by the constant granule between
the Ticket and Fellowship porters, on the subject of the
right to Garry parcels from the steam vessels to their places
of destination; and even the lives of persons have been
endangered by those disgraceful disputes which, weals
glad to hear, will be likely to put an end to, by an order of
the Common Council on the next Court-day. Friday a
fellowship porter was charged bra ticket porter with hav-
ing assaulted lam mobile employed by a gentleman to carry
a parcel from the neam-boat which arrived in the morainic.
The gentleman had called to the ticket-porter. and ordered
him to take up the revel; but the fellowship porter ran
up. shoved the ticket potter 'iuto the water, took bold of
th rc
e pael and carried it, in spite of the person who had
given. the orders, and the person to whom they were
given.
A multitude of ticket rrters here added a multitude of
complaints of the saute kind Roiliest the fellowship porters,
who retorted ib the most violent language, end, mode the
Justice room a scene of great disorder. They were all of
opinion that they were privileged to 'carry parcels from
the steam-vessels, and each party thought the privilege
exclusively belonged to itself. Tim assault was quite ab-
sorbed in the question of right, which they begged Alder-
man Bridges, who sat fur the Lord Mayor, at once to de-
cide upon.
Alderman Bateces said the most serious complaints had
reached his ears upon this subject. In fact, the differences
between the ticket porters and fellowship porters were of
late of so serious a stature as to call fur the interference
of the police, u idiom w hose 'presence on the spot where
any of these dissensions took place, the lived of his Ma-
jesty's sul'jects could not he cuitsidered safe. It was ne-
cessary that the Court of Common Council should take
the case serioosly into consideration, and that Ito would
take care it should he done on the next Court-day. In the
mean time be should declare it to he his opinion that the
ticket petters were untptestionably in possession of Use
disputed privilege.
CHARGE OT ATTEMPTED MURDER, on Saturday, at the Star
and Horse Shoe, Fleet street.—(See Saturday's Statesman.)
—When the sitting Alderman took his seat on the. bench at
Guildhell, Thomas Smith, the beadle and street-keeper of St.
Dunstan's parish appeared, and stated that Mrs. Allen had
been given into his custody ; but on enquiry at the hospital, he
was informed that the wound was of so dangerous a nature as
to resider it imminently perilous to rensoce him. lie had ac-
cordingly lodged Mrs. Allen in the Cotepter, and now wished
to he informed how he was to act. The prisoner was ICC 0141.•
Ingly remanded until Monday, for the purpose of producing a
certificate from the hospital.
The following further particulars may be relied on. The un-
fortunate nw.n and his wife had bad frequent differences, arising
from that baneful passion, jealousy. lie lived with Mr. &11s
as a waiter, and his wife was employed as a char-woman and
laundres Saturday morning they were at breakfast, when
some words arose, and Allen said he should leave London
shortly sad go to Cambridge, in company with the servant
girl (the object of the disPute). This so enraged the wife, that
she immediately took ua a kuife, and finally inflicted a very
deep and dangerous cut on his arm, severing several of the ar-
teries. Medical assistance was sent for, but the effusion of
blood was act great, that it was deemed necessary immediately
to send him to the hospital.
ASSAULT UPON MR. BnowN,THE KESPER OF THS FLIRT
—Capt. JOHN KNATCIIHULL WAS brought before Alderman
Smith, charged with haviuo committed an assault upon Mr.
Brown, Marshal of the Feet Prison.
It appeared that the Marshal hail been a short time ago oh.
structed in the performance of his very arduous duties by some
of the unruly prisoners in the Platt, among whom was a
grandson of the late Bishop of Norwich and the brother of
the defendant, who was half brother to Sir Edward Knatch-
bull. tin that occasion, Mr. Brown having been grossly
assaulted by Mr. Kpatclibull, the confined debtor, a coin-
plaint was made to the City Magistrates, and the assailant
ordered to find bail. Two persons were procured to oiler their
responsibility, but they were refused, on time ground that they
had taken-the benefit of the I nsolveut Act, and bail not since
paid their creditors. The Captain thought proper to attack
Mr. Brown in the lobby of the prison, and to assault him
without the slightest provocation.
The Alderman ordered the Captain to find bail ; whereupon
a person stepped forward, and said he had a more serious
charge to bring against the Captain,but astheotfencecharged
had been committed in Middlesex, the Alderman would not
take cognizance of it. .
HATTON-GARDEN.—Yalierelay Joseph Richardson, a
carter, Francis Bandon, a builder, and jolts Barker.
his Nieman, were bronght before Mr. Laing, fur a second
examination. Richardson was charged• with feloniously
skating, and the two latter with buying and receiving, a
quantity of bricks to the value of four pounds and upwards,
knowing them to be stolen. Mr. Hussruntas attended for
the prosecution, and Mr. ADOLPHUS for the prisoner San-
'don.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Thompson, pur-
chased 150,000 bricks, et forty shillings a thousand, of
Mr. Wilson, brick•inaker, in Spa-fields. and agreed with a
man of the name of Jostlyn to cart them as far as Brewer-
aired, Somergtown, where he was building houses: Jost-
lyu employed Richardson, who was his servant, to cart
the bricks, to doing which he sold three cart-loads to the
prisoner. John Barker, fur the use, and with the know-
ledge of the prisoner. Francis Sandon, his master, for
'the suns of fifteen shillings a thousand. After
Richardson was elven in custody, he confessed selling
one load of the bricks to the prisoner Sandom and two
loads to the other prisoner, his foremuan, fur his use and by
Lie orders. Sandon, on being questioned, at first denied
haring any knowledge of the matter ; he afterwards owned
to have puichased one load, and that his foreman .Imeglit
the other two loads without his knowledge, but confessed
finally that it was by Isis permission. The pr /meaner
stated, that fur some time back ne,kaa beta tubbed of '2OOl.
worth of bricks. Itiohardson was coususitted 'for further,
examination,and Sandoz and Barker entered Latotheir owe
recugni sanres to appear.
QueEV SQUARIL-4a13. Jones, will known as a frequen'
ter of the theatres, was charged with robbing Mr. James
Harris. .
It appeared that the prosecutor on Monday night had
'Amen at a tavern, and was returning home at the hour. of
.eine.st'clock in the morning, when lie was accosted at
Whitehall by the prisoner, and went with her to a halms' in
Weir toNiturt, Westminster. She tilled his ,pec kets, .pre;'
_tending she would procure him some liquor. and went out
far that purpose. I natantly three fellows entrees' the moth,

Mai a gig harness, in order that he might pet the '” fast

and afterwards to take the tilbnry to his master for ap-
proval. At this moment one of the witness's wee came In
with tome hawses' on his shoulder, and the prisoner espying
li exclaimed " How fortunate—this harness is jest the
thine. it will fit the horse exactly." Witness having not
the slightest suspicion of the integrity of the prisoner,
agreed he should have the harness. The prisoner went
sway, and he never saw him or harness till he saw him in
the custody of Beekeridge the officer.
Win. Russell, a stable keeper, Weymouth Mews, Port•
land Place, then stated that on the same (lay the prisoner
8.1130 to him and represented himself to be groom to a
celebrated dancer residing is Portland Mate, and wanted a
collar for a horse to fetch home a tilbury from the coach.
nukes's. Winne knew the prisoner, led therefore

sot to returns Witness made inqairies in Portland

no such person lived there. He therefore geve information
Burkeridge the officer, and whilst standing at the office
door the prisoner passed by, and he was forthwith carried
before the Magistrate. The costar now pro.lured was his,
and the SNOW lie lest to the prisoner.
Win. Sharpe, 9, Marlborough court, I'eter-street, West-
minter, harness maker, said that on Friday the prisoner
said him the collar, for which he asked Is. 6.1. but eventually
he bought It for Is.
Mr. Rawat Xeox.—Pray what is the value of your
Mr. Russell? Mr. Russell replied, that it was worth
Si. 6.1.
Air. RAVILINSON.--.A very moderate profit, epon my word,
Mr. Sharpe. Sharpe also bought the harness for lbs.
Bueheridge. the officerf stateth that on taking the pri-
soner into custmly, he tua/vied the fraud, and acknow-
ledged where he bad disposed of the property.
The prisoner was remanded for farther examination, when
it is expected that other charges of a like nature will be
preferred against him.
Tows HaLlo—Os Saturday, Geo. &Mod!, the driver of
the Greenwich and Blackheath Stage, No. 3,5015, appeared:
to as information for billions driving. This ease had, at
the defendant's reqnst, been postponed for the purpose of
bring log up witnesses, and be was asked at that time if be
objected to the form of the information, and answered that•
lie did not. The information bad been lodged against the
Proprietor of the coach, who gave up his striver.
James Warboys, one of the sospectors of Pavements for
the Borough of Southwark, stated, that on Sunday, the 7th
of September, at stunt half past three o'clock, he saw the
defendant driving past the gates of St. Thomas's Hospital
towards the City at full speed, the horses being urged for-
ward by the continued whipping of the defendant, to pen
another stage. George Smith, one of the Bow-street l a.rol,
saw the defendant driving his horses at a full gallop. John
Eschelhy, another of the Dew-street patrol, swore to the
AMMO effect.
Some objections were then started by the defendant, to
the form of the information.
Richard Edwards, a gardener, for the defendant, said
that he sat on the front of the roof of the coach on the (lay
mentioned. There was a stage close behind them as they
passed St. Thomas's Gate, but he denied that the defendant
was whipping his horses, or that the horses were gallop.
ing ; their utmost spee I was net exceeding seven to eight
miles in the hour. Mr. Joseph Henderson observed the
coach piss him near St. Thomas's Gate. Seven to eight
miles an hour was the utmost rate the coachman was driviog.
A voice from the informant's side—That witness is per-
jured.
Alderman SMITII inquired who served the summons, and
was informed by Reeve the Alarsbalinan that he hail taken it
to the inn iu Gracechurch-street, from whence the defend-
ant's conch started, and that some impediments were thrown
in his way by several of the coachmen. His Worship told
the informant, that the Act required all due diligence to be
used to arrive at the name of the driver against whom the
information should have been laid, as there was evidence
of his being well known, the employer bring answerable
only where the driver was not brought forward. He did
not consider that necessity diligence had been used. and
lie should consequently quash the information in its present
form as against the proprietor.
