THE BETE4OII.DINAI7 CASE 0! ATTEMPTED

ARSON.

In the course of yesterday afternoon the prisoner
M referred to in our account yesterday of a are at
Limehoemwoanseway, was brought up at the Thome
Polles-coart. He Is a streage looking men, with long
view sad way near-sighted. He gave the name of
Charles Warklett. It appeared from the evidence adduced
that on the amiss being rxdognialied, it was discovered that
four different petiole of the lower pert of the hours had been
set on are evitly by an inotediery. Mr. Greiroawsy was
from home at the time of The outbreak, and on being interro-
gated on his return, said the prisoner and en apprentice were
la charge of the house. The prisoner, on being questioned
es
to the occurrence, gave at fret some contradictory account,
hat ultimately admitted that he wilfully set the house on
Sr., and be intended to have done so on the previous Sunday
sight If master had gone out. He gave as hie motive
that his master was In difficulties.
lir. Greenaway said the prisoner had been with him
tweiveyemes,and bad served his time with him wan apprentice.
Hs had bed en affection of the eyes and had had en opera-
tion performed. He was a perfectly faithful and honest ser-
ves, but he could not say whether he was, of sound mind.
In reply to the worthy magistrate, Mr. Greenaway said he
wee Insured for 6001. on be premiere, and fetOl. on his stock
in-trade end furniture, which did not crated their valet.
He was not in any difficulty, and could discharge all his
debts. He was responsible for two loans which he was pay-
ing by instalments. In reply to the charge the prisouer said
he had no ill-feeling towards his employer, and be committed
the act without the knowledge of anyone, his! sole mo-
tive for committing the crime being a desire to relieve his
master from the responsibility of the two loans, although be
had no authority for supposing him to bo unable to meet
them. The magistrate committed hire for trial at the old
Bailey Sessions.

THE Naw MEDICAL ACT.—OE Tuesday last the
borough bench of magistrates at Kinptelkon-Tnaines, after
hearing a charge against a gentleman who has long practised
in the town as a dentist, of assuming the title of surgeon-
dentist without being registered under the Medical Act as a
surgeon, dismissed the summons with coots, the bench being
of opinion that the use of the title " surgeon-dentist" could
not to regarded so an offence against the statute. This de-
ciaion confirms the views of the Council of the College of
Dentists, expressed in oorautuntcations to the medical and
dental journals, that the Medical Act was not intended to
have a persecuting or retrospective effect The Medical Re-
gistration Society, who prosecuted at Kingston, have, Woos
the cam was concluded, withdrawn a notice of prosecution
against the Secretary be the Council of the College of
Dentists, on the alleged ground that he resides at Crystal,
and it le better that a London police magistrate should ad-
judicate oa the question, although the secretary of the
college, at the particular request of the Registration Society,
had coo/sated to accept suit in a London police •court (Marl-
borough-street). Thus it would seem that the result of the
Kingston mass has induced the Registration Society to
abandon the prosecution.
THE ACCIDENT AT THE SHEFFIELD RAILWAY
eratioN.—Mr. Alderman Maw, one of the sufferers by the
repeat accident at the Sheffield Railway Station, died on
ifr l evening from prostration of the nervous system,
brought an by the shock—The Rev. Mr. Moon, who wee
taken to the adultery, Is a hide better, and hopes are enter-
tained of his ultimate 11103•1117, although his cam Is anions.
One of the most singular effects of the catastrophe was the
cue of Mr. Raton, cheese and bacon factor, Doncaster. He
felt none of the effects of the colliaion at the time, and wee
enabled without the least amiatance to return home, con-
gratulating himself upon the escape he bad had. Oa
arriving at home be felt himself getting so unwell that he
felt it advisable to send for a salvos. He was the Nog
morals( suable to get oat of bed, and Maas then bee beams
so prostate that he has not the slightest power to move
say pest of his body. Oa Friday be was worse in health,
sad, though our oorrespendent Wines that serious Nair
=ere set sppreittadid, rariu very low and feeble.—
