THE YANKEE HOTEL PLUNDERERS, Allen Howard
and Oscar Kingston, were again brought up before
Mr. Henry at Clerkenwell, on Monday, for re-exami-
nation, on the charge of stealing 5651., in three 1001.
and other Boston notes, from the bed-room of Mr.
Staniland, at the Great Northern Hotel, on the 18th.
of March last. Mr. Staniland, in giving further evi-
dence, said he could not swear that he really lost his
Purse in London. He had arrived from Boston,
Lincolnshire, that night, and the last time he saw
his purse was at Boston. Other witnesses identified
the notes, and Mr. Speilman, of Lombard-street,
swore to changing two of the 1001. notes for Ameri-
can gold dollars, for a "Mr, Howard," on the 11th of

April, but he could not swear to the prisoner. After
some further evidence the prisoners were remanded
for a week.

THE BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES, supposed to be
that of Foschini, the Rupert-street assassin, turned
out on examination to be that of any one else but
Foschini. The linen was marked H. F., but the body
bore no scar on the thigh, by which it is known
Foschini could be identified, and the eyes were blue,
while those of Foschini are dark. A verdict of
"Found drowned" was returned, and the police, for
the moment taken off the scent, are vigorously hunt-
ing down the assassin, though at present they appear
to be rather at fault.

A CIIRIODS SMALL•DEBT CASE was decided last
week in Glasgow. A grocer ticketed a large quan-
tity of sugar at "44d. per lb." A purchaser ordered
the entire quantity at that price, but the grocer ob-
jected to sell more than one pound. The would-be
purchaser brought an action, and the Sheriff de-
cided that the grocer was compelled to sell the entire
quantity of sugar exposed for sale at the ticketed
price.

THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM PALMER was argued
before the Court of Appeal on Tuesday, the Bank-
ruptcy Commissioner having declined to adjudicate.
The question to decide was whether the imprison-
ment of Palmer, charged with murder and declared
a bankrupt, was imprisonment under civil arrest
within the spirit of the 69th section of the Bank-
ruptcy Act. The court declared that it was so, and
ordered that upon the evidence given there was
ground for adjudicating Mr. Palmer a bankrupt. The
case will now be remitted to the Commissioner to
dispose of. Great preparations are making at the
Central Criminal Court for the approaching trial of
the prisoner. It has been suggested that the ordi-
nary business of the session should be first disposed
of, so that the two courts at the Old Bailey could be
rendered available; hut no final arrangement has
been yet agreed on. Mr. Serjeant Slice, Mr. Groves,
Q.C., Mr. John Grey, and Mr. Kenealy, will defend
Palmer at the trial.

A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM GAOL was
made during the sessions on Tuesday by thirteen
convicts confined in the Glasgow prison. A
warden incautiously by himself opened the door of a
cell where the fresh convicted prisoners were coi
lected previous to being drafted off to separate cells,
in order to put in two fresh arrivals just come down
from the session court. ln an instant a rush was
made, thirteen got out, knocked down the warders,
and for half an hour roamed about the prison, making
vain efforts to escape. They were all eventually le-
captured.

THE lIIPERIAL PRINCE OF FRANCE has been
rolled as an enfant de troupe in the Ist Grene.4..er
Regiment of the Imperial Guard. The same
honours are ordered to be paid to him as to the
Emreror and Empress. The report that the Pope
will really come to Paris to baptise the child has re-
vived this week, and is very generally believed in
Pariz.
