TER POLICE COURT&

SAZLBOROUGHZTREET.

Mr. foes Boo" of Ledbury-road, Bayswater, propri-
etor of omnibus 7,517, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to
answer the oomplaiot of the Royal Society for the Primo.
tin of Cruelty to Animals, of having caused sad procured
to be tortured two bones, working them in an Mgt
Mete; and Wm. Poet:Rey, aver in his employ, appeared
to his recognisonoes, charged with ill-treating the horses by
working them in an unfit state.
The hones. which were brought to the front of the court
on the loot cense§ for the magistrate's inspection, were is
• shocking state.
Rutherford, one of the offices% of the Society, mw the de-
Leadmit Kellum driving the bones, attached to an omnibus
near the Totteobasneourt-road, and, observing that they
appeared quite ethanated, examioed them, and found the
off side bores had • large wooed oa the near side both, which
was badly swollen. The other bone bad on of its hoots
split. Both were in a very low condition.
Mr. Arthur Cherry, the government 'Morison surgeon,
sod Mr. Jarvis, veterinary surgeon, on the part of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, deposed
to the condition of the bones ; both gentlemen stating that
they wen totally unfit for work, and the former rimosrkieg
that they won the remains of good horses, which would work
till they died.
The defendaot Boom mid be was told by his voterioary
surgeon that they were in a fit state to work, and therefore
sent sheen out.

road, was rolled by Mr. Bacon, and mid he bad attended to
Yr. Bacon's horses. Ooe of the boreal spoken of wee in a
low moditiost. but the other wee pretty good. One of the
horses was marly thorough-bred and very irritable.
/dr. Tyrwhitt--From its high condition. (Imighter.)
The defendant Yonitimy said he had drives a better
pair of hones. •
blir. Tyrwhitt—l happen to ham seen these beams myself,
sod if I had not beard the evidence of the veterinary
a —Boors. Cherry and Jarvis—l should have ao
doubt, and there could be so doubt in the mind of say
ressotible being, that they were totally unfit for work, and
that they were in a most wretched condition. I believe from
my experieoos more especially in another district, that it ie
possible to Ming forward men calling themselves veterinary
surgeons, who, from their cupidity sad self-interest, will
swear that horses are quite capable of working when it is
clear that they are totally Goat for work. There home
were in a miserable state, and when the veterinary surge°.
called by the defendant Bacon speaks of the irritability of
one of the poor creatures there is very little doubt that it
arose from its sufferings owing to its miserable condition.
In this case a man called respectable because he in rich
employs a man of a low clam to drive his home. The
horses are to be kept alive if possible—became the leas of
them would be a little lose to the owner. and while they
can stood they are worked. Such persoos are wretches,
brutes, and I should like to know if the bone is not the better
of the two. The poor horse being high bred is its wretched-
ness, as it will work as long as its spirit will allow it. It is
a pity the wee treatment cannot be indicted on such roes
as those before me. What a howl and or, out there would
then be at the treatment. I shall fine the driver 20a. or 14
days' imprisooment. Ido not consider him half so bed as
the rich and stout man who stands beside him. I shall fee
the owner 40a., or a month's imprisonment for each home,
my oely doubt being whether I ought sot to inflict im-
misonmeot. I hops Its stables will be vetoed, and if be
is brow
ght here again he will be imprisoned for three
mouths. _ _

Titedecision seemed to `iv. great satisfaction to a crowded
court.

Mr. M. C. Rogers, dentist, No. 18, New Burhogica.
street, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer a summons
taken out by Mr. Talley, solicitor, of Beaconsfield, Backs,
on behalf of the Council of Medical Education and Regis-
tratioo, for wilfully and f►lsely taking and using the name
of surgeon, implying thereby that he was registered wider
the Medical Act.

--11;. Lewis, Jon., of ElT•plaoe, appeared on behalf of Mr.
Roger.

Before the case was gone into, Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired if
Mr. Bearoard, chiropodist, of No. 59, Regeot-street, was
present.
Mr. Lewis, jam, replied that he was in court.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he gave his °poke on the case of Mr.
Bearnard last week, aid be than thought that Mr. Bemused
was liable to a penalty. and granted a ease for the superior
courts. Since that time he had found a case which might
or might not materially bear on Mr. Bearoard's case, bat he
felt there was so much doubt about the matter, though he
had Dot much doubt himaelf,that be should not enforce the
penalty of 201. until compelled to do so by mandamu a.
Mr. Lewis, jun.. said as Mr. Rogers bad been charged in
the summons with "falsely" preteoding to be a surgeon, at
was of the utmost Importance to that geollernao, as it was
known in his neighbourhood that he had beer. summoned.
to have an opportunity of 'tittles that be had a diploma as
a duly qualified surgem. He had in his hand other certifi-
cates to prove that Mr. Rogers had passed the hospitals in
Paris as a qualified surgeon. The Medical Council had
ignored these proceedings against Mr. Rogers, stating " that
they were not taken by their advice nor at their expense."
Coder these circumstances it was not fair that Mr,
should be put to expense in attending the court, as
Mr. Talley had been ordered to pay meta at the Marylebotie
Polieseourt, he hoped the magistrate would direct Mr.
Talley to pay Mr. Rogers' costs. He might further state
that the reason why Mr. Rogers was not oo the register was
because be only practised as a dentist and not as a surgeon,
though a member of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was perfectly clear that Mr. Talley
ought to have amertained whether Mr. Rogers was a surgeon
and had • diploma before taking proorediorm. After seeing
Mr. Rogen's diploma it was impossible to doubt that he
was a morgeno, and he should therefore order Mr. Talley to
pth costa. To summon Mr. Rogers was really too bed.
The sett summons was against Dr. Kahn, of Titebborne-
street, for wilfully and falsely taking and using the name
and title of physician, implying that he was registered
under the Medical Act, but the case was dismissed.

LAMBETH.
Georye Reynolds, a bricklayer, was charged ca remand
with an attempted rape upon the person of Hannah Thaw-
son, at Norwood.
The facts of the case, which have previously appeared,
showed that oo Sunday week, shortly after It o'clock, Police-
sergeant Whitel anal others heard • groanirg noise in the lane
near the Crystal Palace, and after a time the proomatrix
was toned lying upon the ground with her clothes over her
bred, and at the same time a man was men to run away
from her across the Bolds.

Mr. Thomas, from the office of Mr. Chipperfield, solicitor,
appeared on behalf of the prisoeer, and seconded in eliciting
host the proeecutriz that the was not Mrs. Thompson,
bet bad been living with a man of that name. Stn had left
her husband and rue away with Thompson. She bad also
bad some coneszion with a Freedman, as well as with other
men. She bad sworn on • previous occasion that she was
the wife of Thompson, but that was quite isoorrect, as she
was only living with him. Mr. Thom's, in his cross-ma-
miaation of an enteral withal's', also showed that she bad
carried on as abandoned mode of life, and at the these
of the alleged assault was in • state of
inbzia-
ticn. Evidence was also brought forward is which the
character of the pronecutriz was shown to be anything but
satisfactory, involviag details which are totally 'mkt for
publication.
After bearing the several witoesses for character, which
showed the prisoner's general respectable conduct,
Mr. Thomas addressed the court in an able manner for
the prisoner, pointing out the false statement' the proms-
trix bad made, ea well as the general bad character she
bore, when
The Magistrate dismissed the charge.
The prisoner was than charged by Sergeant White, the
officer having the case is band. with assaulting him when
being taken to the statics. The raker stated the facts in
cosnezion with the assault. when the magistrate said be eon-
Wend it fully proved, and inflicted • penalty of 24, or 20
days.
