POLICE
At the Guildhall, yesterday, before Mr Alderman Tyler, Henry Chaundy of 17, Bridgewater-place, was summoned at the instance of the guardians of the City, for obtaining, on October 5, 4s relief by wilfully making a certain false statement - to wit, that he had no means. Mr. Weatherfield, who defended, said his client would plead guilty. Mr. Roxworthy prosecuted, and stated that the guardians took these proceedings with considerable pain, though, indeed, it was a stern necessity, as one would scarcely believe that such a state could exist. For some time past - three years or more - the defendant had been receiving 4s a week outdoor relief, with medical advice and medicine. It was discovered, however, in a somewhat singular manner, that, while he had been receiving this relief, he was possessed of considerable means. About a month ago he was suing a man at the Mansion-house for the fraudulent removal of goods. This caused inquiries to be made, and it was discovered that he had two houses in Mansel-street producing £3 and £4 a week. He had another house in Sun-street, Bishopsgate, which was let out as tenements, and he was assessed for 15 houses in Stepney. This was one of the the most flagrant cases of the kind that ever came into a Court. Mr. Weatherfield said the defendant had been ill, and his houses as yet had not turned out a very profitable affair. The Alderman thought it was a pity that the accused had not been charged with obtaining money by false pretences. He should sentence him to be imprisoned for a month with hard labour. Defendant (whining) - Oh please make it a fine. The Alderman - Certainly not. I am sorry I cannot give you more. I would if I could, but my powers are limited.

the instance of the guardians for the City, for obtaining
4s. relief by wilfully making a certain false statement -
to wit, that he had no means. Mr. Weatherfield, who

it was a stern necessity, as one would scarcely believe

past - three years or more - the defendant had been receiv-

was receiving this relief he was possessed of considerable
means. A month ago he was suing a man at the Mansion
House for fraudulent removal of goods. This caused
inquiries to be made, and it was discovered that he had
two houses in Mansell-street, producing between £3 and
£4 a week. He had another house in Sun-street,
Bishopsgate, which was let out in tenements, and he
(Mr. Roxworthy) held in his hand a document which
showed that accused was assessed for fifteen houses in
Stepney. Mr. Weatherfield said that the defendant
had been ill, and his houses as yet had not turned out
very profitable. The alderman considered it a pity the
accused had not been charged with obtaining moneyby
false pretences. He should sentence the defendant to be
