THE POLICE COURT&

Dennis Corbel, an Irish labourer, was charged with
assaulting M. Giovanni Gallini, an Italian, living at 44,

The complaisant said he was walking in company of a
fri.nd when the defendant came upon him unawares and
bit him violently en the head. There was not any provo.
cation on his part ; in fact, he did know him.
Police Constable Swann, 440 A, witnessed the outrage,
and took the prisoner in charge. He was well known to
the police as a great ruffian, and had frequently been in
custody for brutal assaults.
He was fined 20. , and sentenced in default of payment
to bud labour for a month.

Joseph Rollenstein, who said he was • Hungarian, wee
charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton, with obtaining five
shillings under false pretences, and for obtaining credit by
exhibiting a bill alleged to be drawn by Lord Palmerston
in the prisoner's favour.
Jane Lewis, an elderly woman, residing at No. 70, Gran-
by-street, Waterloo-road, said about three months ago the
prisoner came to my house from the railway station, moon.
pakied by an interpreter named Baker, and agreed to take
the room at Da. per week, and he paid me 3s. en aceownt.
The prisoaer and the interpreter then occupied it. In a
few days the interpreter's wits and child came, and then it
was agreed that he should occupy another room at 7s. per
week. Afterwards the prisoner.* wife came. I was paid
the first week's rent on • Tuesday, sad on the
same day the prisoner came down stairs and said
" Please, madame, can;yon lend me one halecrown."
I replied, " Certainly, my good gentleman," and I gave it
to him. About a week after that he again came down to
me, and said that he had got • Jew's bill for V., but it
being the Jews' Passover, he could not get it changed. He
showed me the bill, hot as I cannot read, I do not know
whether it was a bill or no. I saw a figure of 6. I thought
it was right, and he again borrowed another halkrown. I
told my husband that I bad lent the money to the gentle-
man, and he said, " Oo slug, you old fool ; it may be •
' barber's bill.'" The rent ran for two weeks more, and I
asked him fur it. He then said, " Well, I've got a bill
upon Lord Palmerston for painting his lordship's portrait."
He gave the bill to my husband to look at, and he and the
prisoner went to Mr. Scott's, the banker to Lord Pal-
merston. We wrote to Lord Palmerston, at whose man-
sion my husband has worked as a plumber, and on the
following day his lordship sent one of his servants to
my house with an answer (handed to Mr. Norton). In-
deed, continued the witness, I am confident but for the
bad name of our street that his lordship, who is • most
generous noblemen, would have called himself and paid the
little amount, so that we might not lose by the foreign
gentlemen. But for the little rent I have to pay, I would
for his lordship's sake have forgiven them.
The husband of: the witness was examined, when •
person in the court appealed to Mr. Norton to be heard.
On entering the box lie gave his name as Richard Owen, a
pita, residing at No. 1, Flour de Lis-court, Gray's-inn-
Ise. He said—About • year ago I became acquainted with
the prisoner through seeing him in company with a friend
of mine. About two months sines he came to my lodgings,
and said that he was in distressed eireumitencis. Ile
asked me to do something for hint. He told me
that Lord Dudley Stuart detained tome papers
of his, and that he did not know whet do. He afterwards
said that he had • military discharge belonging to Baker,
and sko • paper of his necessary to obtain • passport, and
that be kept them in his possession to go begging about
with. Afterwards he and Baker quarrelled, and the pil-
lager told me that be mast do something with Baker, and
that he should wake a false ticket and give it to Baker, so
that IA might bare a hold on him to keep hie papers to beg

with. I saw the prisoner enclose and pout Baker's papers
in a letter to the Duke of Cambridge at St. James's Palace.
Prisoner efttrwerds told me that the duke's secretary had
written to him appointing a time fir him to call and get a
sorer, ign. He sent the same papers to Miss Coates bank.
He has also sent them to Baron Anthony Rothschild and re-
wired money from them all, in the mimes of Captain Rut.
tenburgh, Captain Rottensteir, arid Captaiu Baker. Bakst
is now present. He has seen the bill alleged to be drawn by
Lord Palmerston. I beard that Lord Dudley Stuart de-
tained prisoner's papers because there were acme forgeries
amongst thtm.
Baker nest presented himself, and said that he was a
discharged Captain from a Hussar regiment, belonging to
the Prince of Hesse Cassel. He row worked for his
lining as a baker. The prisoner stole the papers from
his pocket at his lodgings in Fleur.de-lis-court, he had ob-
tained from the Grand Duke of Meckleoburgb. He
is not a Hungarian, but a German belonging to some of the
Dutch states.

The prisoner in defence merely vituperated the last two
witnesses, and alleged that 0a en had also obtained money
by representing himself ass ion inner.
Mr. Norton said the case required farther investi-
gation ; a serious ►ystem of fraud had been just exposed.
He should remand the prisoner to Thursday mitt. He
desired the officer in the meantime to ate Lord Dudley
Stuart on the subject, so that the Secretary of the Polish
Society should he in attendance at the next examination.
The Mendicity Society should also be communicated with.
The prisoner was then removed.

GOODWOOD RACES.-THURSDAY.

The heavy rain which fell during the night and early
this morning, although it made the road plessact for tra•
yelling, bad the effeet of rendering the course exceedingly
heavy, sorely trying the stamina of the young ones. The
"Cup Day" is always the most attractive of the week, but
this year the sporting interest wss heightened by Dervish
and Autocrat, the first favourites for the Derby of 1854,
coming together to measure their strength in the Bentinck
Memorial Triennial Stakes, in which Autocrat achieved en
easy victory. The unsettled state of the weather di-1
minished the genet"! attendance, but the meeting wee
a brilliant one. The "professionals" mustered in great
strength, and the aristocratic visitors were more numerous
than usual. The Cup, a handsome piece of plate, designed
and modelled by Baron Marochetti, represents an incident
said to have taken place at the battle of Cressy, where the
King of Bohemia and two French knights devoted them-
selves to death by tying their bridles together, and dashing
into the thick of the English army. This splendid memo-
rial of French gallantry was appropriately borne away by
Jouornce, a French bona, the property of M. Lupin, a gen-
tleman well known in this country as a patron of
korse-racing. By a singular coincidence the second horse,
Heroine, was also bred in France, and belongs to
114. Aumont, a French gentleman.
Having yesterday given a list of the distinguished guests
at Goodwood House, we need but observe that the same
parties were to-day with their noble hosts spectators

were round the Clump, when Dagobert declining, lost the
lead to Mervin., and at the same time Jouvence, who had
gradually crept up, took third place. On nearing the dis-
tance Dagobert was quite beaten off, and Mervin. was
caught and instantly passed by Jouvence, who increased
