lu the secood cue, Inspector Wilde said his attention wee
called to the Ousels, of a hog in the shop of Mr. Potter, in
Nswgate-street, and that it was in such an advanced stage
of what was termed the lung diggers, that anyone might
see it was quite unfit for the food of man. It wu the worst
be bed ever seen.

Alderman ][sobi, having Winded the beef and the hog,
mid it was all bad, but the latter was the most frightful
looking stuff he ever saw. It was absolutely poison, and the
disease was so palpable that no one could possibly be mis-
taken with regard to the state of it and its unfitness for
human food. It was one of those cues that ought to be
prosecuted, and he trusted that the Couunisstunera of
Sewers would see to it.

Mr. 13itichboxy said the Commissioners of Sewers took
the rune view of the matter, and proceedings would in-
stantly be instituted against the parties sending such meat
to market.

The meat was then ordered to be destroyed.
BOW-STREET.
Henry Harold was brought up on remand, charged with
forging and uttering a cheque for 100/. on Coutta' bank.
Mr. Mullen; solicitor to the Bankers' Association, prose-
cuted ; and Mr. E. Lawrence Levy appeared for the defence.
The evidence given on the former boning was repeated,
awned the witueesee were very skilfully crose-examined by Mr.
Ly.
The constable Ansoombe, in the course of his cross-era-
mination. stated that when he apprehended the prisoner the
latter said his name was " Harold Hardy Driesdale, or any
name you like." Witness believed that the prisoner knew
what he was saying. Witness had taken hold of him by
his right arm, sod the prisoner asked him to change sides,
" but," continued the witner,. " I knew better than to let
him have his right arm free."
At the otationbouse the prisoner began to recite Passages
from the part of Ingo in Othello, observing, " I can go
through it all myself."
Mr. Levy—He wanted to recite his part before the in-
spector.
_

rWitneits—Oh, yea, he knew what he was about.
Mr. Mulleos—Sir, Ido not intend to offer any further
evidence. and as the case now stands I do not see that I can
do otherwise than ask you to commit him for trial.
Mr. Levy submitted that the prisoner's conduct was not
that of • forger. He was evidently • man of eccentric
habits, and witneues could be called to prove that he was
sometimes so encited that he did not know what be was
doing. Even on the stage he behaved so wildly that the
other actors could not go through their parts with him.
Mr. Curry thought that was • question for • jury, and
committed the prisoner for trial.
Herr Krenser said that the prisoner did actually appear
the Bijou Th: Atre. —He (Herr K reuger) had engaged him
on strong recommendation, not being *ware of his eccen-
tricity.
CLERICENWELL.
Charles Taylor, who described himself as • working ear-
-1 penter, and who looked like • respectable mechanic, was
ni
charfed before Mr. D'Eynoo with loitering in the Pep-
tone, e-road, with intent to commit • felony.

The prisoner was NM in a garden of one of the houses in
the Peutoos 'lle-road at an early hour on Sunday morning,
and as he did not give a satisfactory account of himself he
was locked up. The constable afterwards found a window
open of the house the garden of which the prisoner was.
The prisoner on the first occasion said that be was a re-
spectable working man, and having bad a drop to drink on
Saturday night, be was not aware where be had been. He
did not even know that he yea in custody until the Sunday
morning.
Mr. IYEyncourt remanded the prisoner until yesterday,
telling him that if he was what he stated he would have no
difficulty in brinziog one or two tradesmen to give him a
&ander.

Yesterday the prisoner handed into the magistrate a list
of the persons to whom be wished to write to give him •
cbarslter. No one was in attendance, as when be got to
the House of Detention the governor refused, in the most
positive manner, to allow him to have the use of pen or ink,
and declined to find him a piece of writing paper.
It was stated that this was not the first complaint of the
kind that bad been made against the governor of the House
of Detention, and the matter had once been brought under
the notiee of the visiting justices.
Mr. D'Eyncom t aid that there was hardly a day paned
without a complaint being made of the conduct of the
governor of the House of Detention. He should remand
the prisoner until Friday next, and direct that the prison.'
be allowed writing leper. He would write to the visiting
magistrates on the subject.
The prisoner thanked his worship for his kindness, and
was then removed.
