TATURSAL'S. —THURSDAY.
Possibly the announcement on Thursday morning that
the subioription would be opened on Saturday for comparing
on the St. lifter, and business as usual, had its effect upon
the atteadance to-day, numerically, fora smaller muster on
the Thursday before the Leger we never recollected seeing
before. There was little or no betting, and the momentary
instalment of Blair Athol as first favourite for the Leger
may be attributed se much to caprice, or to the complexion
of °Klein " books," as to anything that may have
ptrans-
-sto throw any additional light upon the matte of the
ring-cottage levant,. The only transactions that took
ee were to small amounts, as follows

TEE POLICE COURT&

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Frederick &islets*, maw, in the employ of Mr. base
Meade of No. 22, Duke-area, Berkeleyequare, wee
charged with steelieg some rings, brooches, and other ad-
des, of the value of 30/., the property of his employer.
Mrs. Meade said that on going to • safe kept in • back
room on the first floor, she missed • quantity of jewellery
and two silver snuff-boxes. Her husband had been lying
dangerously ill at an hotel, and always kept his keys, in-
cluding that of the safe, under his pillow. The poisoner wee
in the habit of going backwards and forwards, end it was by
that means the believed the prisoner had got amen to the
ale, it evidently having been opened with • key, and there
being no marks of violence about it.
The prisoner said be would rather ay what he bad to nay
when became up again.
A smartly-dressed young woman said the prisoner gave
her • brooch and pia, stating that he had bought them.
Mrs. Meade identified the articles as her husband's pro-
WV-
Shore, an officer from Scotland-yard, said that he had
discovered • ring to have been pledged at Westminster,
which Mrs. Meade had also identified.
The young woman said the prisoner also gave her •
ring, but u he asked her for it back, and, as she thought
be was going to give it to another young woman, she
pledged
Shore it.maked for a remand, which was granted.
WESTMLNISTER.
Mrs. Emma Belgrare, a respectable-looking married
woman, living at 45, Halsey-street, Chelsea, was charged
with assaulting the police,
Patrick Leonard, 57 B, said that at 2 o'clock that
morning he heard some garden pots fall as from • window
in Halm-terrace. He immediately afterwards maw the
defendant and two other women running into Halsey-street
from the direction where he had heard the noise, and he
subsequently found that • garden pot had been knocked
down from the parlour window at 6, Halsey-terrace, and a
second taken away. When he maw the defendant and the
other women, he asked them what they had been doing,
when they replied, "Nothing." lie had turned his light
on and stopped them, and said they had better come back,
and he himself turned to do so, when the defeedant struck
him twice in the month, and afterwards again assaulted
him and knocked his bat off at the station door.
Defendant positively denied the charge, and said that the
constable had not only taken her into custody without the
slightest cause, but had struck her twice on the aide of her
bead.
Mrs. Sarah Wilson, of No. 3, Rome-villas, Whitehead-
grove, Brampton, said that she end • female
friend were in company with the defendant. Her
friend had come from Shoreham' Sussex, to which she
had returned that morning, and she had, accompanied b
the defendant, taken her to the Oxford Musio-hall, which
with their walking all the way home, accounted for their
being out so late. On arriving at the corner of Halsey-
street witness was running across the road saying, " I
must make haste home." when the constable came up
and turned his bull's eye upon her fare. De-
fendant asked him what right he had to do that, when
he caught hold of her and dragged her up the street.
towards the station. She never struck him, and had done
nothing whatever to him when he caught hold of her ; he
nearly threw her over some railings ; he pushed her against
the railing', and struck her twice ; be bent her bead back
and broke her beads and struck her in the neck. Witness
knew nothing about flower pots, and did not hear any men-
tion of them from the constable. Defendant never in any
way assanhed the constable.
Mr. Salle turned to • book, which the magistrates of this
court keep for their guidance, in which the names of police
constables coming before them are duly entered, with mirk"
indicating their mode of giving evidence, exaggeration, or
supra:don of facts, affecting the general reliability upon
their evidence, and said the book was exceedingly useful, for
be there found • "tick" against the named Patna Leonard.
He had to decide in this Me between the, evidence on oath
of the constable on one side, and the witness Wilson on the
other, as defendant herself could not give her evidence on
oath. He believed the account given brllra. Wilson to beta*,
and be therefore discharged the defendant. There were two
columns of names of thirty men against whom there were
marks in the book before him. He shoold place • second
tick against the name of Petrick Leonard, and if he had
occasion to add a third, he should report him to the Com-
missioner of Police as • man unworthy of credit upon
his oath, and unfit to remain in the police force.
SOUTH WARE.
George Trta was charged before the sitting magis-
trate with smuggling on board a vessel lying in the river
Thames.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. George Carroll,
ens of the examining officer' of the Beard of Customs, that
in discharge of his duty he went on beard the Devine, •
vessel which was lying off East-lanostairs. The defendant
is the second mate of that vessel. He (witness) proceeded
to make the usual search, and found concealed in the defen-
dant's birth 4lte weight of foreign manufactured tobacco,
which he of course seized, acid took the defendant, who
suede no defence, into custody.
The defendant was convicted in a penalty of 403 a, or, in
defaalt, 21 days' imprisonment.
THAMES.
Mary ellerceder, • married woman, was charged before
Mr. Partridge with the following disgraceful ccedact in
Heath-street, Stepney.
It appeared that the prisoner, who lived at 98, Heath-
street, with her husband. CMOs home bat night about seven
o'clock. She was in • dog cart, and as she came down the
street she waived a handkerchief the whole distance. When
the got near her own house she got out of the vehicle and
raised her crinoline in a very improper manner. She then
danced round the cart, and collected a crowd of nearly 200
persons. She thee picked up some granite atones which she
flung 'meg the crowd.
Police-coo/table 119 K was than obliged to take the pri-
soner into custody.
Several of the neighbours came forward who stated that
AO prisoner was often in the same way, and of causing a
disturbance io the street.
Inspector Hays raid that • few weeks ago the prisoner
was sent by Mr. Paget far a month to the House of Correc-
tion for a similar offence.
The Kamer was fined 40e., or in default, one month', int-
priseensent.
