MAR!.BOAOTIGH-BIr!INET.

At this court, On the 26th ofBeptambrKai, . driver of •
cab appeared to a rummons charging him with having worked
a horse which was mid to be "glandered end dangerously
unfit for public nee." The evidence as to the state of
the horse, whether or not the Waren from which he wee
suffering wee glanders. wee somewhat conflicting.
Mr. T. A. Dollar, of Buletrode-mews, veterinary surgeon,
melt as hie decided opinion that the animal wee merely suf-
tress • cold, musing a discharge from the nostrils, and
that had been tn that state sem weeks ; end he denied
the asistemes oleanders, either at that time, or within seven
weeks previonaly.
The magistrate (Mr. Bingham), however, upon the certi-
este of r. Varnell, of the Veterinary College, came to the
conclusion that the horse was glandered, and inflicted • fine
apse the defendant.
We have just received • oxamunkation from Mr. Dollar,
in which be requests us to Mate that the horse in question,
after the tiosurrenee of the above, was placed under his care ;
that in the course of four weeks ha was cured fit for work,
end has since been working in an omnibus, and that cart&
calm from &number of the most eminent veterinary surgeons
have been obtained, showing that he is free from glanders
(which is an incurable diatom). Mr. Dollar further observes
that a number of horses are destroyed in London annually
while suffering from catarrhal glem under the erroneous im-
pression that they are glandered. Mr. Dollar madders a
statement of the above facts due to his prciessioul repu-
tation.

A young man naZedFrisite;liiisZs was charged with
bengkriously entering the dwelling house of Mr. John Hud-
son, a gentleman, residing at No. 3, Upper Lansdowne-
terrace, Notting-hill.
The prisoner bad lived in the family as footman for several
pus, but was discharged some time ago. A gentleman stay-
ing in the house was, on Sunday morning, awoke by a notes
of 'meshing of glue. On going down stairs, be maw the
prisoner escaping from the house. He pursued him, and
knocked him down with a poker which he had brought with
him. When the house was examined, it wee found that an
entrance had been effected by breaking a square of glass in
the kitchen window, by which the prisoner was able to re-
move the lock. There were also three other panes broken,
bat it was supposed that they were encashed accidentally in
climbing over some iron railings into the kitchen. It
seams that the window Inside had some railings, as it was
sapposed, to present any person getting through the window,
and it was thfough a space at the top of only Ifal inches that
the prisoner had to pus before he reached the kitchen. It
wee also stated that the prisoner, while in the service of Mr.
Hudson, bad made it his bout of being able to get into the
kitchen through this space. A slice of beef, covered with
mustard, was found near the kitchen door, and it corre-
sponded with a cut from a joint, A thick slice of bread was
found upon the prisoner and that corresponded with a loaf
in the kitchen. The only other article taken by the prisoner
was a little wine from a bottle which stood in the passage of
the kitchen. A small piece of candle wee found burning in
this passage as if it had been dropped by the prisoner in his
flight. A glue door at the top of the Ashcan leading into
the ball prevented the prisoner from getting any further into
the house, but there were marks of hie having attempted
to open it. There was no doubt the prisoner was at this door
when he was disturbed.
Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner for inquiries.

MAfteLACMITER AT NEWCASTLE.—A abockiag
affair bu occurred recently at Newcastle, melting in the
death of a man named Joseph Scott, a butcher of that town,
a single man, aged 29. The following are the particulars of
the occurrence, as detailed at the coroner's inquest, held on
Saturday last .—lt appears that a Mre. Tulloch. a widow,
who had formerly kept a public•house, resided in Peel-strest,
and about one or two o'clock on the morning of Friday, the
14th hut., four men, one of whom was the deceard,
came to the home, and were admitted by Mrs. Tullooh.
There were besides in the house, a man named Matthew
Wilson, her brother, and a young woman, a dress-mks;
all of whoa were up. Some Lamming seems to have ensued
between Mrs. Tulloch and the deceased, who was in liquor,
ou the subject of some more drink which he asked her to sup-
, ply him with. According to the evidence of the young
woman alluded to, the deceased struck Mrs. Tulloch a blow
in the face which rendered her insensible. He then sent
lute the passage with the view of leaving, followed
by Wilson and Mrs. Tulloch, who had recovered,
when an altercation took place. On the other hand,
on. of the compadons of the deceased stated that Mrs..
Tulloch first struck the deceased, when he got up in a pas-
don and gave her a Wow in the face. but that she did not fall
or become insensible, and that she then proceeded to the bar
to rub her eye with something. She afterwards swore she
would murder him before be left the house. The witness
states that the deceased and his companions were about
leaving, when Mrs. Tulloch and Wilson attacked him most
furiously, the former beating him about the heed with a de-
center, continuing her blows even after he became insenal-
ble, and the floor was covered with blood. The coroner
having summed up. the jury returned a verdict of "Man-
slaughter against Wilson and Tolloch," and a warrant wee
Wined for their committal.

TSB ACCIDENT dr "'BB POLITECHIV
CONCLUSION OF Tfli INQUEST.
The inquiry was resumed at the Polytechnic Insti-
tution, at three o'clock yesterday after:we; When the jury
returned the (oilmen.; verdict :
"Accidental death, ceased by the fillies el a stone stair-
case at the Polytechnic Institution on Monday, January the
3rd, 1869, and which 611 we believe was ocesakmed by the
ending for the insertion of the Iron trellis-work am! brackets,
and by the incautious manner of doing the work. 11,0 jury
most the adoption by the directors of the recommmeds*RM so
to repair the staircases instead of reconstructing them."
The foreman elated that the verdict was signed by all tie
nineteen jurymen except on. (Mr. Hodges was understood tor
be the dissentient), and that the two following presentments
were signed unanimously
" The jury cannot allow this opportunity to pees without
expressing in the strongest manner their opinion that all
public buildings should be subject to a periodical inspection.
A competent person for such p should be appointed by
the government, whose duty d be to inspect all buildings
need or intended for public assemblage. That such inspector
should forward • certificate to some aloe, and upon that
certificate @tiling that the building wee erected mad
finished in all its parts to a proper manner for lb
LirFsfor which it was intended • license should
granted for such building to be opened. That
upon all alterations or repairs of importance the like inspec-
tion should take place, and the same certificate should be
made and license granted. The jury also strongly object to
the almost irresponsible power now vested in the hands of
companies and individuals in the erection and maintenance of
our public places of resort, and wish to Impress upon the go-
vernment the absolute ueossaity of not allowing the ensuing
session of parliament to pees without some enactment to
enforce these suggeationa. finch • course is deemed impera-
tive to allay the fears of the public in consequence of the ac-
cidents that have so frequently taken place' and upon the
well-founded observations contained in the valuable reports
of the architects appointed by this inquest. The jury express
their hope that the coroner will forward these eugiretiom to
her Majesty's Secretary of State for consideratioe.'
" That while the jury deplores that so sad an accident
should have occurred from the causes stated in the verdict,
they ate not unmindful of the peat and important services
rendered to the cause of education and of science by the
Polytechnic Institution, and they are anxious to express
their approbation of the oonduct of all pollee connected with
the institution at the time of the accident, and particularly
of the courageous conduct of Mr. T. L. King in descending
amidst the rains of the falling stairs to the assistance of the
unfortunate sufferers. The jury are farther anxious of
hereby expressing their edmitatios of the high-mindedness
and truly benevolent conduct of Mr. J. P. Acton, aa da-
ndled in the evidence."

The Coroner complimented the jnry on the manner in
which they had discharged their duties.
The inquiry terminated about six o'clock.
