THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSIONHOUSL
Henry Gelman and Lewis resume, who were brought
up a few days beck charged with steeling a quarter cask d
wine, value 121., beloaging to Mr. Thornburn, wine-mer-
chant, from before his promises in Rood-lane, were again
brought up for Mu! examination.
The Lord Mayor said there was sufficient doubt about the
cam to justify his discharging the prisoners. The character
that bad bees given to them was barely sufficient to clear
the doubt, but as it existed, they were entitled to the benefit
of it.
The prisoners were, therefore, discharged.

WANDSWORTH.
A tall, military-looking man, who pro the name of Wil-
ham Brown, was brought before Mr. Ingham, on remand,
4 with begging Red asesultingPolioe-conatable Sandi,
110 d
~ while in the mention of his duty.
The prisonerwaismdtaken into custody at Clapham, and
certificate of discharge from the
ISXlRaginnigent of Foot was found upon him. It bore the
name of Sergeant William Brown, and purported to have
been signed by the commanding officer. The certificate
also represented that Sergeant Brown's conduct bad been
"very good." When before the magistrate the prisoner
stoutly denied the charge of begging, and said he merely
inquired for an officer, whom be understood resided in
the Crescent, Clapham. He alas stated that he had fought
and bled for his country, and that he could produce persons
who would give him an excellent character. The magis-
trate, however, did not dispose of the case as was usual, bat
remanded the prisoner for a week,„to have some inquiries
made about him. In the meantime R wee asalrUiod that
the certificate of discharge was a forgery.
On this occasion • gentleman from the War-office at-
tended to prosecute.
Sabin was re-examined, sad he stated that when he
took the prisoner into custody he said that he was a dim-
charged soldier from the 59th Regiment, and that the certi-
ficate of discharge belonged to him.
Colonel Henry Hope Graham, an inspecting field officer,
who bad been instructed to attend by his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge, said he woe formerly in command
of the 59th Regiment of Foot. The signature H. IL
Graham to the certificate is a forgery. He recognised the
simmer as • man named Bayes, or Hawes, and he wag
discharged from the regiment as as issaarrissble.
The prisoner's fluency of speech was not so great as on
the first examination. He now remained dint.
Mr. Ingham =premed his readiness to commit the pri-
soner for three months under the Vagrant Act, but it
having bees stated that evidence could be produced of the
prisoner having uttered the forged certificate of discharge,
he remanded him until Tuesday next, for the purpose of
eametaining the wishes of the n ar-office authorities in the
wWgiOMO.

Tat WINDRAN Cass—A correspondent writes
" Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Windham are now staying at Fellx
Hall, the family seat in Norfolk. Mr. Windham has been
down far about ten days, having come into the country on
the emicluaion of the extraordinary trial before Muter
Warren ; but Mrs. Windham did not rejoin her husband
till Saturday evening, when she arrived at Norwich by the
8.45 p.m. express, posting to Felbrigg the same evening. In
the course of last week Mr. Windham gave an audit dinner
to his tenantry. The entertainment was a handsome one,
and Mr. Windham himself presided at it. After dinner he
proposed • number of Unita, showing an intelligent
familiarity with the leading public topics of the day. One
of his speeches extended over twenty minutes. As regards
the costs of the late inquiry, is is positively stated that
Mars-General Windham and the other parties who signed
the petition on which the commission de lunatic° inquircndo
was granted do not intend to apply for their costa out of
the estate ; and it is even armed--although this move will
wobably not be snoosesful—that the costs which Mr. Wind-
ham has incurred in what may be styled his defence, and
which amount to some 15,0001., will be attempted to be
saddled an the petitioners. Every effort is being made to
induce Mr. Windham to live more quietly for the future.
He was announced to patronise an entertainment at a circus,
and also at the Theatre Royal, Norwich, but he was pre-
vailed upon not to attend."

cutting his throat after many years' service, and that of
Isaac Le Brun:lent, who is now • patient in Ring's College
Hospital, suffering from • most dangerous and serious
physical complaint. They were old officers in the county
=twice, and complained of the new governor's conduct, par-
ticularly after the cam of the man Ryan, who was, by the
governor's orders, forcibly held in a bath. Warder Charles
Ottey, an officer of nearly 15 years' standing in the service,
received on Monday a letter, of which the following is •
copy, from the governor, without any reason being assigned
for it:—" Governor's office, House of Detention, February
10, MM.—Warder Ottey, I am directed by the committee
of visiting justices to iutorm you that von are suspended
