COarollra.—At the Police-court, on
Monday, a half-daft looking lad named Join Coates
was brought up in cuetely before the Mayor (Mr. G.
Curtis), Mr. Millie.. bavl Mr. Stone. charged with
thie.teniug to kill one S ttah Mills, of Fishedreet.—
On Saturday evening it seemed the prisoner, who lives
in the same row as Mrs. Mille—Tirrnerherow—puehed
psn her door, and pulling out a kitife, said he would
cut her throat. This conduct he repeated twice, and
he so frightened her 'that ehe went for the police.--
Defendent being asked what he had to say in his
ibfence, replied, "I didn't mean what I did ucy;
'twin only in fun." Being further asked if some time
se, he did not go up t ; • men, who was quietly talk.
i'.• in the street. and, drawing his knife. cu.. him across
the wrist, he said he didn't know the man's name, but
Wag Mk' fun. '—it we; also proved he was in the
habit of spitting in ladies flees, throwing et mesat any.
;,;.0 hie fancy led him to, and Mr. Supt. Hunt stated
that since he had been in the cells he hail had two
fits—He was remanded for a moilical examination,
and has since been sent to the Workhonee.
T K &kimonos Atom —At the Police-court, on
lkienilay, Mr. Travers, e digit' r, attended to lay •
C .1:11PIAnt against the nuisance created by tee members
of this so-callel religious holy. He stated that ~n
Sunday afternoon for more thin a hour the street in
frout of his reeidence was bl ;cked by the" Army" and
• large mob, and the in it diegrsceful uproar was
created. He thought the police should interfere. In
London, in etreet rows, it was not the crowd who were
arrested, but the parties who caused the crowd to
assemble. Who that was in the present came there
was no doubt —Ft may be remembered that a few
Courts ago Mr. Prayers w ss retains I by the "Army" ,
to pro/let-ate some mop!, who had assaulted them, and '
he then invok, d that pr from the Ben; h for
them religionists which would be accorded to any
other body of worshippers.] —Mr. Stone expressed
himself strongly that peremptory measures might to
be taken with these peoples—The Mayor said they had
done all they eould. They had sent a requisition to
them, signed by himself and 12 magistrates, telling
them they must not pe-eist in their marching*. That,
however, had been totally disregarded. At the present
moment they were awaiting the results of a man date
given by the Mayor of Salisbury, absolutely ordering
the police to disperse any such processions. If they
found it proved succeesful there some such directions
would be issued in this borough. We understand that
in Salisbury the step+ taken have been found to be
effectual. They were authorised by the Home Secre-
tary.
"0011 raPaItBINTAIIVIt."—Mr. Schreiber recently
'eked a most important question in the House relative
to the snow in Portland-11am. Another instance
his (step)-fatherly c onideration for others was the
question he put the ether night to Sir W. Harcourt,
The Dade Cheonicle, alluding to that, says :—The right
houourable eentleman, it appears, has so c ;niuctei
the affair; of his department that he has bac ome an
object id the tenderest regard, even to his opponents.
The questien put ti; him last night by Mr. Schreiber
afforded affecting evidence f the anxiety with which
it is possible for a good Tory t be agitated on a^count
of the Home Secretary's personal safety. The henour
able member for Poole wished to know whether it was
true, as stated in the puhlic Press, that lier M sjesty's
Secretary of State for the Home Department had
rec-ived a telegram from Mr. Devoy threatening him
with awa.sination, and, if so, whether any repreeenta-
time had been made to the Government nf the United
States upon the select. In reply, Sir W. Harcourt,
while regretting that the matter *liquid have been
considered worthy of notice, admitted that Mr. Devoy
had favoured him with a can:mimic Won "of a some-
what menacing character." inasmuch as it proposed to
"stamp him , ut," though without stating the exact
way in which the annihilation was to be aocomplished.
The treat, however' does not appear to have at all
disturbed the right honourable gentleman's peace of
mind, Let us hope that Mr. Schreiber will he
comforted by Sir W. Hercourt's assurance that he will
not trouble himself ah "it John Devoy or his
confederates, the leaders of the Lana League, Bo long
as they prudently remain beyond the seam. " whether
across the Atlantic or the Strait, of Dover."
