THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL._

:ego e Bayfield, a man about 45 years of age. was
before Alderman Hale with obtaining a bill of ex.
change for 1501. with intent to defraud the prosecutor.
Mr. John Pullen, a solicitor, of No. 1, the Cloisters, in
the Temple, stated that the prisoner was an entire stranger
to him until the early part of December last, when be was
introduced to him by Mr. Arundel, who was in the habit of
discounting bills for his (prosecutor's) client& On that
occasion he required a bill for 300/. discounted for a client,
and the prisoner was introduced me a person able to moist
Mr. Arundel in getting the money. Several interviews
took place with Mr. Arundel, but in the interim the 3001.
bill wee withdrawn by witness's client, and, in order that
Mr. Arundel should not be altogether disappointed, witness
offered him another bill for 150/. to discount. He said he
would oonaider if be could so apply part of the money
be bad engaged for the 3001. bill, and he and the pri-
soner then left. The prisoner subsequently called on wit-
ness, and represented himself as Mr. Arundel's agent, and
obtained of witness the 130/. bill for the purpose of getting
it discounted. This was about the latter end of January ;
and although be had seen the prisoner since several times,
he had not been able to get the money or the bill back.
He went to see the prisoner at his private ho but found
he had given a fan adder. Mr. Arundel repudiated hay-
ing had anything to do in discounting the 1501. bat or that
he had ever authorised the prisoner to act as his agent in
say way to get possession it
Mr. A. C. Living stated that he discounted a bill for 150/,
for a Mr. Dalian, on the Ist of January, but that he
knew nothing of the prisoner. He had sine* got the bill
discounted by Mr. Brown, a bill broker, of Church-court,
Clement's-lane. That bill was drawn by Mr. James Vim-
and accepted by Mr. H. S. Pileber.
Mr. Vizetelli Idepceed that he bad drawn no other bill
for 150/. on the date of the bill in question, and upon this
evidence the prisoner was fully committed for trial.

WORSHIP.STREET.
Mr. Cooke gave his decision on Saturday morning in a
came of considerable public importance. which was argued a
fortnight ago. The question was as to the right of persons
to compensation for injury done to their trade by the works
of the Metropolitan Board of W.or_ks.

Mr. Pyle stated that be carried on business at Nos. 11,
12, and 13, Willow-walk, and employed six vans to do it.
In September, 1862, the main drainage works were being
executed in Willow-walk, and for two whole months the
roadway was open in front of his premium. His vane could
not be brought up to the plus, and so blocked up wee he
that he was obliged to take another building, in a court at
the back of his premises. He had to hire this place for
eight weeks, at an expense of 1/. 10s., and had to cut
a doorway in the wall to afford communication between
the two buildings, for which be had to pay
24 9s. more, and then had afterwards to reinstate the wan
as he found tt, at the lose of another 14 10a. Even then he
suffered great inconvenience, as his goods had to be carried
a distance of about 200 yards. To do this extra work he had
to hire three extra men, to each of whom he had to pay 18s.
iler. thweek for flee weeks. His basin's was much injured
unng e peoples of the works and atom and in hie retail
trade he lost quite 13/. in that way, profit which he would
otherwise have gained. The front of his premier, too,
were injured by the carrying out of themeworks, which had
afterwards to be repaired, and for expense under that head
he claimed 54 The first day on which be could get his vans
in wee the Bth of October, 1862. His premises were much
damaged by the works, and all the board had offered him
wee

Mr. Cooke said the first question was whether the com-
plainant had not allowed the time to elapse during which his
oompleint might be legally enforoed. He was of opinion that
the objectioa raised by theßoard of Works mast prevail, ad
the period allowed by the statute for appealing had Worsen*
to the time of the accrual of the cause of action or maid of
claim or demand. The six months, therefore, began to ran
from the time when the complainant was actually injured
by the acts of the Board of Works, and not from the time
they refused to make compensation. Subject (said his wor-
ship) to this objection, I am of opinion that the complainant
is entitled to recover for the full amount of his claim. It
is not contended by the Board of Web that he is sot
entitled to recover for the actual damage done to the build-
ing—indeed, they have offered him compensation for that
—but the Board of Works contend that the complainant
is not entitled to recover for loss of profits of business.
Now, I think that the loss of the profits of trade is a proper
subject of compensation, and I am of opinion that, but for
the saccusful objection taken by the Board of Works—that
the complaint is too late in has application to this court—
he would be entitled to the full amount of his claim.
_ _ ILAR_LB9HOUGH-STREET.

Robert Henri/ Banleky, assistant in the employ of
Mean. Marshall and &selves°, silk mercers, Oxfoolatreet,
was charged with stealing a large quantity of silk, of the
yaw of 40W., the property of his employers.
Mr. Lewis, jug. prosecuted, and Mr. E. Lewis, of Great
Marlborough-strait, defended.

._.,
It appears that the premier took • rem at 51, King.
street, Regent.street, when he was in the habit of leaving
silk on his way to and from the City. Information wag
then given to Inspector Draper, sod be snoeseisd in taking
the prisoner into malady lied recovering property of the
value of 400/.

The prieoner, who has only been in Masers. Marshall and
Saelgroves employ ten months, was remanded.
Mr. Marshall asked whether the silk might be given np
to him, bat Mr. Koox said he could make no order as
prswent.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—The village of liirwaio,
Glamerganabirr, was on Saturday thrown into • 'tete of
excitement in consequence of its becoming known that an
engineer named Evan Williams had murdered his wife by
pkiing her whilst 'sleep. and lied afterwards put a
to his own existence by hanging himself from an iron
ooin the ceiling of the kitchen of his dwelling house.
The first alarm was given by a little girl, • daughter of the
deceased couple, who ran out of the house screaming, sod in
acidic', horror, and who, on being interrogated, said that
her father sod mother were both dead. The neighbours at
first hoped that she was suffering from some childish fear,
but on entering the house they found the man hiuiging by
the neck as already described, from the ceiling of his
kitchen. They cut down the body as speedup as possible, and
found it still warm, but the vital spark had iled. They then
weld upstairs, where the wife was found in bed and ap-
parently asleep. There ware no indications of any struggle
having men place but the poor woman was quite dead,
and on body being examiovd it was found that she had
been stringled, apparently iu her sleep, by means of •
cravat whlch was found drawn 60 tightly round her throat
as to be to ea extent embedded in the Bash. In her case
also the body was not quite cold. It has been ascertained
that the murderer and his victim retired to bed as usual on
the Friday night, and there can be no doubt that be got up
at an early hour, and hay*, first despatched hie wife in the
manner indicated, went into the garden, cut down a part of
• clothes line, and hanged himself with it. What motive
led to the perpetration of the double crime has not been
ascertained, but it is mid that Williams, who was not forty
years old, has been in bad health and has suffered in his
spirits, so that lunacy may probably have led to the fearful
ingedy. Information of the sad event was at once sent to
the coroner with a view to an inquest on the bodies.
