She also said that he had behaved very badly to her, and that it was through jealousy that she did it. Ile was about to strike her, and she held up the knife, and he ran against it.

He went on favourably for some time, but on the lit of April the wound re-opened, and he loot over 20 ounces of blood. An operation was performed to stop the bleeding. The deceased then went on well for some days, but he died on the 17th of April from loss of blood. The wound was about eight inches in depth, and must have gone nearly through the thigh. The wound might have been caused by the knife produced (a large caning knife,. The prisoner said ohs had no observation to make. Mr. Barker said there was no evidence against the pri mmer, and discharged her. THE FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN TWO BOYS. An inquest wee held yesterday by Dr. Lankester, at the Lord Nelson, Holloway-road, on the body of Alfred 11'Carthy, aged 17, whose death was caused in a fi g ht with another boy. Thomas Williamson, of 29, Gordon-terrace, said—l was in Sutterton.rnewe„ ealedonian.road, on Wednesday but at about 5 o'clock. when I saw d ec e ase d an d a l a d name d Taylor larking. Deceased struck Taylor on the head with something he had in kis band. Taylor abused deceased, who struck him in the face. Taylor then pulled his coat off, and they fought for half an hour. I asked them to give it up, but they would not. Neither of them struck • blow hard enough to knock the other down. At last they shook hands, and deceased said to Taylor, " You are too goad (or me ; I will give it up." Deceased then went into a stable, put his hand to his head, and came over very queer. He was taken into the yard, and I found he was dying. Before • doctor came he was dead. He never struggled at all. N'earthy, 7, Ray-street, elerkenwell, father of de. ceased, ha 4 no reason to suppose there was any malice between the boys, who had always been very great friends. Mr. Slater, surgeon, said death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain. The effusion might have been canned independently of a blow. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from misad venture." HEAVY STORY IN LONDON.—(THIS DAY.)-Thin morning one of the most violent storms experienced for Wally years over London . It commenced about half -past 3 o'c lock when there was a slight but steady fall of rain, with occasional flashes of lightning and ppeeaalhs of thunder. This continued until 4, when the rain became heavier, the flashes of lightning more frequent and more skid, and the thunder louder. The rain to fall in sheets rather than in drops, and was occasionally driven against the houses on the northern side of the Thames with fearful violence, causing in many cases extreme alarm. Flash after flash of lightning and peal after peal of thunder followed each other rapidly, and the thunder mu so heavy that it shook people in their beds. As the clocks were striking 5 there was a clap of thunder resew. Nine the volley of a perk of artillery, and this was the last of the storm. Suddenly the rain ceased to pour down furi ously. Now and then there were slight rumblings in the air, but the storm had passed over, probably to visit the outskirts of the metropolis, THE WIDENING OF PARE-LANE.—After the de monstration last Rummer, in which the railings separating l'ark.ha l e from Hyde-park were levelled, the vestry of St. Ueorge's, Hanover-square, passed • resolution apprising the gover nmen t that • great boon would be co nfer red upon the public if a portion of the park running parallel with Park-lane were given up for the purpose of being converted into • roadway, in order to add to the width of the prevent thoroughfare. On Thursday last a letter was read at the vestry from the First Commissioner of Works, stating, "'hat her Majesty has been graciously pleased, in order to facilitate thin Improvement, to authorise the setting back of the public boundary fence." The permis sion is accompanied with the proviso that " it shall not operat e to divest or prejudice the crown's right of soil in or oict the portion of Hyde-park which may be appropri ated for the purpose of the improvement." The cost of Paying the portion of the park thus given up will amount to about 2,000 f. AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—At the county petty session, at High Wyoombe, on Friday (before the Right Hon. Lord Carington, Sir William Clayton, It. Crewe, T. S. Chapman, Esq., J. Newman, Esq., Rev. FL T. Young, Captain Hall, and Captain Creston), Wm. Allan, the son of the Rev. O. Allan, of Hazelmere, was sum moned for that he the said W. Allan did, on the 13th ult., at the parish of Chipping Wycombe, in this county, profanely swear one profane oath in these words, "Be damned if I do," he, the said William Allan, then being a gentleman, to wit, the eon of a beneficed clergyman. Mr. 11. Clarke appeared for the inf ormed J. Newman, Esq. (who did not sit on the bench), the chairman that he was the informant in this case, and explained his reason for laying the information in the present in 'Mace, and called upon a very old man to prove the case. Henry Lacey said-1 live at Hazelmere in the parish of Chipping Wycombe, and am a labot;rer. Three weeks come to-morrow, the 13th April, the defendant fetched an boa for cutting turf from the door of a cottage belonging to Hr. Barnes, for whom I was working. I said to Mr. Allan. " The old gentleman (meaning Mr. Barnes) has not got qui t e enoug h tur f , won ' t you lend the iron for us to cut a little more ?” Defendant then said, " I won't buy tools for nobody to wear out, be —if I de." He did not abuse ine or say anything more. I told Mr. Barnes for whom I was working, what Mr. Allan had said. I don't think he is friendly with the Allan*. I told Mr. Barnes because I meld not get any more turf. I believe Mr. Barnes told Mr. Newnan. Mr. Newman came to one afterwards and I went and made oath of it. I think Mr. Newman and Mr. Allo t are nut friendly, but I don't know much about th a t. Hr. (lake commented upon the facts of the case, and aularutt-.1 that en oft man, upwards of 80 years of age, somewhat d ea f, irritated because he could not have the iron to 'Midi his work, and himself addicted to swear. itt, as he admitted, until lately, might be mistaken as to the actual word, used, and seeing the animus under which in all probability the information was laid, the ',melt would give the defendant the benefit of any doubt " their total and dismiss the euiiiinons. He further totemled that, in point of law the words alleged to liAte b e en used did not amount to profane swearing 'chin the terms of the statute, and quoted several •t“citieit in support of that contention, including Web sad Walker's dictionaries, Palev's works, Black ened, Commentaries, and Burns' " Justice of the Peace," am" suhinitted that upon the evidence the defendant '"s entitled to a dismissal of the information. The court to been cleared f or a s h or t ti me t o ena bl e the bench t" consider the case, upon its re-opening, the chairman 4 W. that as there Wall a doubt in the case, the defendant would have the benefit of it, and the information would beiese.

(Before the Master of the Rolla.) BAR2III) . II . RANEIWI COMPANY. The Master of the Rolls, at the sitting of the court, gave judgment in a repreeentatiou ease (Westland's) in which the question of frau.l was raised from chambers in this matter, and which would decide some hundreds of cases. The point was that shareholders had embarked in the concern from misrepresentations as to the affairs. and also as to statements in the prospectus. Mr. Joel Emmanuel, on the part of a large body of contributories raised the question of non-liability, on the ground of fraud, and the decision was looked forward to with considerable anxiety, as it would require a large number to pay the call of 40/. overdue, a nd which had been enlarged to nearly the end of the month, and which it was admitted would not discharge the large indebtedness of the cam- His lordship was of opinion that the decision of Vice- Chancellor Malius in the matter of Overend and Gurney, and his own decision in the Madrid Bank, would govern the present came, and therefore he directed Westland's name to be put on the list of contributorie,,, and other cases would follow. Mr. Jewel asked for costa. lie had raised the question which would decide some hundreds of cases. The Master of the Rolls add he had ordered an inspec tion of the books. He allowed costs. Judgment accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT OF APPEAL. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Martin, and Justices Keating, Ryles, and Shen.) THE QUEEN F. HoBINHON. • ..... In this case, which was argued last Saturday, and raised a question upon a conviction under the bankruptcy laws, the prisoner having described herself as a widow, of Hull, when in reality she was a married woman, her hus band being still alive, the court took time to consider its verdict. The Lord Chief Baron said the ease raised so many im portant peints that it was thought better to postpone the judgment until the first Saturday in next term. THE QVEMI V. MORRIS. In this case also the Lord Chief Baron said the judg ment of the court would have to extend over until the first Saturday in next term, m consequence of the im portance of the point involved. THE QUEEN r. PROUT. This was an indictment for perjury before Mr. Arnold at the Westminster Police-court. The prisoner, who was an apprentice to a person named Charles Quin, had summoned his master for wages, and it was at the hearing of that com plaint perjury was ass i gne d. O n th e t ria l b e f ore the learned Recorder of London, it was contended on behalf of the prisoner that the relative position of master and ser vant having ceased when the complaint was made for wages, that the magistrate had no right to hear it. The prisoner was found guilty, and the learned Recorder reserved the point. Mr. Digby appeared in support of the conviction. Conviction ititied. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) IItICKER V. FENNER. Mr. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. Foard for the plaintiff ; Mr. Denman, Q.C. and Mr. Frederick for the defendant. The wife of a schoolmaster at Hampton-wick, named Fenner, propounded the will of Miss Emily Frances Brown, a governess, who died in September last, at the age of 54, leaving property worth 3,000/. or 4,000/. The defendant was an old friend of hers, and she had made the will about five months before her death in her favour. Pro bate was, however, resisted, on the ground of insanity, by Mr. Pricker, the executor under the present and also under another will, by which he would ha% e been left a legacy. The opposition was, however, withdrawn. The jury found for the defendant ; and The court decreed probate ; but the costs were not Rated for, it being agreed that there were cireumatances which fully justified the course taken by the plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commiasioner Winslow.) IN RI RIR C. R. PRICK .- AN ARRANGING DEBTOR. . . The debtor was a banker, formerly carrying on business is King William-street. Application was recently made by the trustees under a deed of arrangement which he had entered into for an order directing the chief accountant of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to transfer the sum of 500/. bank stock, which stood at the date of the execution of the deeds and still stands in the name of the debtor. The case was argued at some length, and his Honour having taken time to consider now gave judgment. The learnedCommiuioner said—Thedebtorhaadiedsince the execution of the deed, and the Bank refuses to transfer the stock unless letters of administration are taken out, and a transfer executed by the administrator. If the trus tees have any right to the order they ask, the first thing they have to show that it is an order which they would have been entitled to ask for if they had been creditors'assignees under a bankruptcy instead of trustees under a deed. The order is asked by virtue of the 128th section of the act of 1849, which enacts that if any bankrupt shall have any government stock, funds, or other annuities, or any of the stock of any public company, either in England, Scotland, or Ireland, standing in his name in his own right, it shall be lawful for the court by writing to order all persons whose act or consent is thereto necessary, to transfer the same into the name of the aa ~ nee. , end to pay all divi dends upon the same to the official assignee, and all such persons whose act or consent is so necessary, are herebyi ndemnified for all things done or permitted, pursuant to such order. There is no doubt that Bank of England stock is within that section, and before the passing of the act of 1861 an order might have been made upon the persons described in the section to transfer the Bank stock which belonged to a bankrupt into the names of the official assignee and the creditors' assignee, if any, in the bankruptcy; but the dividend and the produce of the stock, when sold, would have been re coverable by the official assignee only. This was consis tent with the rest of that act, the 141st and 142nd sections of which vested all the bankrupt's real and personal estate in the whole of the assignees ; but the39th section provided that the proceeds of the estate were to be received by the Official assignee only. The act of 1861 altered this, and by the 117th section, upon the appointment of a creditors' assignee, all the estate is divested out of the official assignee and vested in the creditors' assignee, and there axe no words of exception to this, but the 128th section, which vests debts under IW. in the official assignee. The 127th section enacts that the creditors' assignee shall manage, and, except as therein provided, realise and collect the estate of the bankrupt, wherever situated, and the exception was intended, no doubt to apply to the 128th section ; but as the two acts, so far as the former is repealed, are to be read as one act, the words would embrace any other matter clearly excepted. It is quite clear, then, that the bank stock in question would, in case of bankruptcy, have vested in the creditors'assignee alone, and would have been transferred to his name, notwith standing the words of exception in the 127th section, and it can scarcely have been intended that the official assignee should receive the dividends. When the legislature intended the official assignee to receive property it vested it in him. I think, therefore, that the latter part of the 128th section of the act of 1849, which directs the dividends to be paid to the official assignee, is inconsistent with the act of 1861, and is repealed by section MO of that act, and that creditors' assignees would be entitled to have a transfer of the stock made into their names without the official assignee and to receive the dividends thereon. The next thing to be shown, before the order can he inside, is that the accountant of the Go vernor and Company of the Bank of England or any of the officers of the bank, are of the elegant persons men tioned in the section, as " persons whose act and consent are necessary to the transfer." It is contended on their behalf that the act was meant to apply to the bankrupt, or any pence. ia whose name the stock might be standing, and that the bask are not trans fete's in any case, but merely keep the book or register in which transfers are entered. By their charter every trans fer shall be made by an entry made in this book, signed by the person who has an interest or share in the stock, and the bank must, it is said, obey the charter. The act of parliament, however, will override the charter, if the words are sufficient, and the governor and directors of the Bank axe certainly persons whose consent is noxesery to the transfer, and it further appears that the c • ' as signees are the only persons who if it were a y would have any interest or share in the stock with b e to the bankrupt, for the act has expressly Vested it in them. Is not this, ther?ore, a case within the express letter of the section His Honour then proceeded to dis arms the arguments which had been urged, and the autho- rities which had been cited on the subject, end went ok to say :—I have treated this es if it had beet • ease in bankruptcy. I now have to determine whether the 197th section of the act of 1561 gives the same powers to trustees under a deed. This is an absolute deed of assignment of the estate to trustees to administer it as in bankruptcy, and more nearly resembles a bankruptcy than any other form of deed. The words of the 197th geed:tire to trustees the same remedies as assignees, and courts have not in any way narrowed their construct:ice se to exclude the right to such an order as is adied for. I think the trustees are entitled to the orcle• they ask, and do direct the transfer of the sum of 5001. beak stock now standing in the name of the late Sir C. Prise, the debtor, into the names of the trustees of the des{ ergot that the said governor and directors shotdd Meant to allow each assignment or transfer to be made bf. the said trustees themselves. Judgment accordingly. FATAL ACCIDENT MON LIONTNINO. —Yeuterday afternoon we received the following brief note frets a cor respondent:—" An awful tempest peened over simiagton to-day.

A young man named Ikirid Pringle, who described him self as a commercial traveller, carrying on business at No. 5, Gutter-lane, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with an assault upon Eliza Crawford. The complainant was a respectable young lady, residing with her parents in Bermondsey. and about 8 o'clock on Friday evening she was walking with her sister in Thread needle-street, on their way home, when the prisoner came up to them, put his sans round her neck, and kissed her. They walked a short distance till they met a policeman and told him what had happened, and he returned with them and found the prisoner in altercation with another female, to whom, it appeared, he had attempted to offer a similar insult, and they gave him into custody. . . Thu only excuse offered by the ith . ;fendant was that he WAS drunk ; but the Lord Mayor said that this was no excuse for such an outrar, and be sentenced the defen dant to three days' hard labour. CLERK EWELL. CHARGE or ARSON. Henry Allen, of 1, Banner-street, St. Luke's, a shoe maker, was charged before Mr. Barker with feloniously setting fire to the dwelling-house of Elias Coombs, No. 1, Banner-street, St. Luke's, the said Elias Coombs being in the house at the time of the offence being committed. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, prosecuted. Mra. Margaret Allen said about half-post 10 last night three little children belonging to the prisonercame running downstairs and said that their father had set tire to the bed. The prisoner was in the room above her. Previous to that she heard the children crying, and heard them say " Don't, father, don't." She wee standing on the landing, and she ran upstairs to the prisoner's room. The &or was open, and she saw on the floor some straw that was all in flames. She said, " Oh, you vagabond and be said, " It is done for now." She saw the prisoner's wife, and assisted her in getting out her work. She pulled the wife by the skirt of her gown, being afraid that she would be burnt. The flames were then coming out of the door. The straw alight was piled in a heap, and there was nearly a trues. When she first went upstairs there was no one in the - room but the prisoner, who was not sober. Elias Coombs, a shoemaker, said he resided in the next room to the prisoner, and he heard him make use of very disgusting language, and say he would set fire to the house. The prisoner was the worse for liquor, and several timesH said he would burn out the house , e came out of his room to see what the prisoner had done, and the pri soner's room was all in flames, a large heap of straw being alight in his room. The prisoner was in the room by him self, and he was laughing looking at the straw burning. He told the prisoner that he was a blackguard, and ought to be ashamed of himself : but he merely laughed, and treated the matter with indifference. He helped to put the fire out, end the floor was much burnt. The straw was in the room for a bed. Charles Bortler, engineer at the Whitecross-street fire station, said he found about eight feet of the flooring partly burnt, and the prisoner said that the fire occurred when he was lighting his pipe, the match falling acciden tally on the straw. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DAMAGE IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. John grew and Tinwthy Shine, two rough-looking fel lows, were charged before Mr. Knox with doing wilful damage to some shrubs in Kensington-gardens to the amount of 10s. Benjamin Sims, park-constable No. 40, said that about A o'clock that morning be saw the prisoners go into a plan tation near the Lorg Walk in Kensington-gardens, he had no doubt for the purpose of looking for ducks' eggs. He called to them to come out, but instead of doing so they ran on, the shrubs being very thick in the plantation, and it being impossible for anyone to go through without doing damage to them. On going into the plantation he found the prisoners hiding inside some shrubs which they h►d broken and damaged to the amount of 10s. (The constable produced a number of rhododendron branches, which had been broken off by the prisoners.) Alainwright, another park constable, gave similar evidence. _ The prisoners made a paltry excuse for going into the plantation. Mr. Knox said he had no doubt, whatever the prisoners might say, that they went into the place to look for ducks' eggs. They could not be permitted to do such things, and must pay a fine of 10s. or seven days each. One of the prisoners, in an impudent tone, said as he was leaving the dock, " Thank your worship." WORSHIP-STREET. STEALING ♦ PURKE. George Strret, as given on the police-sheet, a powerful and thick-set man, was charged with stealing a purse containing 1/. 19s. 6d., from the person of Willi am W oo d , living at 22, Edward-square, Caledonian-road, Islington. Prosecutor, who in • countryman, detailed his loss quaintly and clearly. Mr. Newton— What are you ? Prosecutor—What am 11. Well, I'm a plate-layer—work on the underbround railway, and some above to be robbed, that's for martin. That chap (pointing to prisoner) stole my pane, a steel 'un with • damp. It was gone, bless thee mon. there—Just in no time. Between one and two hours ago 1 was in }trick-lane, and saw • boy with some birds in • cage. Well, you see, my purse was in my trousers pocket, and as I knows well enough the set as walks about London streets, why I keeps my hand slap on the pu rse . Howeomever, or bless my heart, the birds sour pretty creatures, and I took my hand out just to t ouc h ' em lik e . Dang'd if it didn't go in • twinkling. He got it. Mr. Newton—Got what! Prosecutor—The puns, mon,. to be sure, and It. 19*. 6d. clean gone. I never ses'd it 1111011 Either though I fol lowed him into a public-house, and told him I'd give him into custody. Prisoner—Why do you say I stole it, eh ? Prosecutor—You were he as stood bang next to the pocket, mon. Don't thee be a d—d fool. Come, now, where is it! (Laughter.) Prisoner—l know nothing about it. Didn't I tell you so before. Prosecutor—Aye, aye. Prisoner—And didn't I tell you to fetch a policeman! Prosecutor—Aye, aye. Prisoner—And didn't I wait till one came? Prosecutor—Aye. aye. Prisoner—And didn't he search me, and not find it Prosecutor—Aye, aye ; and bow should be when you passed it to another man, who left before the constable came, eh Prisoner denied this, but Kr. Newton fully committed him for trial, and prose cutor remarked that " All was not quite fair above ground." WANDSWORTH. MINOULAR DI4COVIERY or ♦ ROBBERY. A young man named Thomas Turiser was charged under the following singular circumstances : About three weeks ago a lady was confined at the Clapham Junction Railway station, and at the instance of the station-master she was removed to the Windsor Castle, not far from the line. The prisoner was lodging in the same house, and for convenience the lady was accommo dated withhis room. Mrs. Higerty, the landlady, thinking the lady would be glad of • few articles of baby clothing, went to some drawers in the same room, before she arrived, and to her surprise found that they were gone. The articles, which were worth about 21., were safe when the prisoner took possession of the room in February last. On the following day she spoke to the prisoner about her property, when be denied knowing anything about the articles. The prisoner continued to lodge in the same house, but in another room, and nothing more tr a nspi r ed u ntil a few days ago, when he was discovered wearing a necktie belonging to James Johnson, • fiy driver, who was also a lodger. Johnson asked him what business he had to wear his tie, and told him that it was " cheeky" of him to go into his room end take it. He then offered to pay for the tie, but Johnson told him that would not satisfy him as be had lost • pair of boots and other neckties, and he wanted his things to be returned. The prisoner said be did not have the other things. He was subsequently taken into custody by Police-constable M'Queen, when he said, "All right ; I have been expecting to be charged for some time.' In answer to the magistrate, the constable said he had not been able to trace any of the mop,. ty. The prisoner said he wax innocent of aIL Johnson accused him of taking the boots two months ago. Mr. Da man said one charge, th e possession of the neck tie, was clearly made out against him. He had very little doubt about the rest, from his own expression, though there was no positive evidence about them. He then committed him to prison for two months, with hard labour, for the unlawful possession of the neck , ie. An officer from Oxford, who had just arrived, came for ward to apprehend the prisoner an a warrant for another . _ Mr. Dayman explained to him that be could apprehend the prisoner when hie term of imprisonment had exifired. The officer, who wee evidently disappointed, said be should not have come up from Oxford but for understand ing that prisoner would be discharged. UNWELCOME VIKITORN. - Yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock, the attention of the Manchester police was called to a number of strangers loitering in the vicinity of the banks, and they proceeded at once to charge them with vagrancy sad loitering with the inten tion of committing robberies. In this way ten persons found themselves in the hands of the police, who gave the following addresses:—James Cox, aged 40, a turner, High-street, Peckham ; William Bhern, El, a decorator, 3, Waterloo-place, Newingt on B u tt s ,• Edwin Turner, 3;3, furrier, 6, Morris-place, Chel sea ; Richard Hall, 39, jeweller, 6-i, Walnut-tree-walk, Chelsea; Henry Prior, 41, coffeehouse k, 3, Prospect-row, Wslworth ; William Rowley, b lo tter, Lincoln's-inn- fi elds ; Edward Johnson, 24, clerk, St. George's-road ; and John Jack son, 35, lodginghmise keeper, Kennington-road.

Two Manchester men were also apprehended on the same charge, and they will all be brought before the magistrates this day. EXTRAORDINARY AND DARING ROBBERY OF THE FULHAM NAIL•BAO IN THE OPEN STREET. BOW-STRKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two rough-looking fellows, named George Shan non and Richard Neville—the former wearing an old militia uniform tunic under his great coat—wire charged with being concerned, with another not in custody, in stealing the Fulham mail-bag from the mail-cart in tho Queen'■-road, Pimlico, in front of the South Western District-office. Mr. Peacock, from the Post-office Solicitor's office, pro necuted. Mr. Clare, one of the Post-office inspectors, stated th►t on Monday last he was at the South Western offioe, and saw the prisoners and the other man standing about when the mail cart drove up. The driver went inside, leaving the cart at the door. Shannon went and looked insid i e. It was empty. The three went away. Afterwards lie mail bag was placed inside and the driver took his place and drove away. Witness gave instructions to the officers Reinhold and Smee to keep • watch. They yesterday got the mail bag out. The prisoners were apprehended but the other got away. Neville said the man who got away was the man who brought them there. Rumbold, one of the police-constables, proved that from Tuesday till yesterday he and Smee watched the arrival of the mail cart a few minutes past 8 o'clock. He saw them there last evening, when the Pulliam mail bag was placed in the cart. He proceeded—l saw Shannon pout from the other two (the prisoner and the one not in custody) in Stafford-place, which is close by the district office. I saw him go up to the cart and take out the mail bag. He then went into the court, where he joined Neville and another man. They then all three went through Stafford place into Palace-street. I took Shannon, Smee took Neville, and the other got away. As soon sal seized Shan non, he threw the bag into the middle of the road. I said, " What are you going to do with this bag ?" He made no reply, but put his legs between mine and tripped me up. We both fell ; he under me. We got up, and I said, " I am a police-officer, and you had better go quietly." He said, " All right ; I'll go quiet. Let go my hands.'' I said, "No I shall not." He said, " What have you got me for ?" I said "Stealing the mail bag." I took him to the office, where he asked me what division I be longed to. I said the A Division. He said, " I suppose it is all right. You have got me to rights." 'When I pro ceeded to search him he resisted violently, and said, " What I have got I will give you, but you shall not take it from me." With the assistance of Smee I se►rched him and took a clasp-knife from him. He said, " It is of no use now I have got my weapon taken away from me." Shannon (violently)—Don't tell lies. Remember you are on your oath. Rumbold continued—The knife was not open. I had seen the prisoners there together on two occasions, the 6th and ith. I had seen Neville there about four or five times, and the other man who escaped several times. In crow-examination, by Shannon, witness repeated his statement as to the prisoner's observation about the knife. Did not address Shannon by name. Did not know it till he heard Neville say to him, "It Mall right,Shannon ; but never mind, old fe110w."... Hmee, the Other post-office constable, corroborated. When Rumbold was searching Shannon, or Chanson, witness saw • knife in his hand, and drew Rumbold's attention to it. The prisoner dropped the knife into his pocket, from which Rambold took it. _ _ • Coss-examined by Shannon—l got my information from Mr. Clare and another person. I did not know your name. I said I had known you about Clark's-buildings. That is so, but I did not know your name. Shannon—You did. It is plain you got your informa tion from somebody that you have paid for it. Neville—Did you call me Bleckey? Sinee—l asked you if your name was Mackey. There is II man of that name about, and I thought you were he, which shows I don't know much about you. James Trickey, a stamper in the South-Western office, identified the bag which he himself had placed in the cart. Edwin Trantin, a sorter, who made up the bag, deposed that after placing the letters in it he tied it, and bad it sealed in his presence. He now opened it and exhibited its contents, consisting of about 200 letters. None of them were registered. Mr. Peacock suggested that they had better be returned to the district office to be delivered at their respective addresses. Mr. Flowers assented. Mr. Peacock then said that completed the case against the prisoners ; but he should a•k for a remand, that in. quTes might be made as to their antecedents. • Mr. Flowera—Beeides, you might bo enabled to find the other man. The prisoners were accordingly remanded. BETTING IN LONDON. -(THIS DAY.) HALF-PAST Two o'Cuxi. A large muster and business good.

Yesterday Dr. Lankester held two in quests upon persons who died very suddenly without ap parent reason. The first was held at Hornsey, on the body of a police-oonstable of the N division, who, after having been essx•ed to the sun the whole of the previous day, suddenly fell dead upon his beat. It was found that death resulted from sunstroke. A constable's hat was weighed and found to be 10 ounces in weight. The jury expressed an opinion that this was too he 7.— The second inquest was held at the T ord Anne, Twyford-street, Islington, on the body ofJosiah Butternaut, aged 25. The deceased was engaged at the Imperial Gasworks to convey coals by means of a hand waggon from the store to the retort. In doing this he re peatedly passed under • skylight through which the sun came very powerfully. Suddenly he became very giddy, and reeled about like • drunken man. As he was being led from the top of the building where he was working he attempted to jump over the rails, but he was restrained. Before • doctor could be fetched he expired. Death in this case also was caused by sunstroke. The juries re turned verdicts accordingly. This week, descending in the morning, the in mstes of • house in Kennington-park-road beheld their plated table-furniture starieti with aquafortis test, and contemptuously rejected by imitate burglars, who disdained encumbrance of anything less valuable than silver.— South London Press.

STAGE CARPITIN. —A machinist conneecd with one of the Boston theatres has invented an arrangement by which stage carpets may be removed without the intru sion of untidy-looking supernumeraries in front of the curtain. A wire at the prompter's desk is mad, to re• verse the hooks upon which the carpet is fastened, near the footlights, and thus release it, when it oily be palled in from behind. This is all very well ; but the Ilying of the carpets between acts has been always ss ohjechosable a feature as the other, end some invention is now needed by which that part of the work may be done without the introduction of the supernumeraries.—New York Timmy April 14.
