A MAL DOG IN THE PUBLIC STREET.

THREE PERSONS BITTEN.—‘THIS DAY.)
This morning at about 10 o'clock a mad dog an. in Palace-road, Lambeth, and created • feel.
ing of terror amongst the inhabitants, He was
large, long, black dog of the retriever breed.
As he madly dashed along the road his eyes glared,
and foam came from Ma mouth ; round his neck
there was a piece of rope, the end of which kept
Sy ;rig in the air as the dog was running. W tien heap.
proacbed No. 2, Palace-read he evidently perceived that
the door had been left open, for be suddenly turned in his
course and ran into the house at full speed. As be
was hunting up the stairs to the top rooms he
met a woman named Elizabeth Hawks, aged 49
ye..ra. She was auiying • pail of water at the tinis
and the dog knocked against it. He then caught bold of
the woman by the left leg and took a bit out of it. The
woman shrieked with pain and fell back upon the dog, and
the pail of water was upset over him. 11'hile the woman,
who we are informed rolkd down the stairs, was lying os
the dog he bit her on the left aim. He tore the arterial
out, and blood rushed from the wound. The
dog then left the house and the woman was
found by some neighbours who had run into the house,

ful manner, and upon her admission into the hospital, Mr.
Winckwoith, the home-salmon, instantly applied caustic
to her wounds. At 12 o'clock today she was lying in the
hospital ward in a very dangerous state. A woman who
came with her stated that on a previous occasion she had
met the same dog, and he had bitten her.
When the mad dog left Mrs. Hawks' house he ran along
the road and never stopped until he reached Crosier.
street, Stangate. He was followed by • large and excited
crowd who shouted " Had dog, mad dog," se they hurried
along. One policeman joined in the chase of the animal,
who only stopped running quick once, and that when he
wanted to bite • little boy that be knocked down. He
succeeded in doing this before the crowd could get up
to him, and the unfortunate lad was found lying on the
pavement. Some of the people stopped, and carried the
wounded youth into Dr. Meakin's surgery, and that gentle-
man attended to him. The excitement now became greater
than ever, and when the dog reached Crosier-street he
ran up the; steps of one the houses. The hall door was not
y open,r and he had to remain outside. A boy named
Knolson, the eon of a carpenter, living at
3, Garden-row, Stangate-street, was passing by at the
time, and he unfortunately recognised the dog before the
crowd came up. He went to the animal, and while trying
to catch hold of the reps round his neck win knocked down.
The dog then bit him terribly on the left side of the throat
and face. The wound on the neck has a frightful
appearance. The Seth is jagged. He also bit him
in the arm and leg. The crowd then came up, and • man
very courageously rushed forward and caught hold of the
rope. The policeman then managed to muzzle the animal,
which was then taken to Tower-street police station. He
has not been killed. The boy was taken to Westminster
Hospital, and the house surgeon attended to him.
No owner can be found for the dog. It is said that the
animal was • stolen one. The thieves kept him tied up
in a bisek room, from which he succeeded in breaking
loose yesterday.

CLERKENWELL.
DARING ROBBERY FROM ♦ RAILWAY VAN.

Henry Geer9e, aged 19, of 11, Hallett's-place, Upper
Eoauman-street, and Daniel Costello, aged 18 of 6, Rose-
TurnmiU-street, Clerkeawell, were charged before
Mr. Barker with stealing from a van in Turnmill-street
ear boa of raisins, the property of Mr. Henry Budgett.
From the evidence of Josiah Thorogood, one of the
watchmen of the Great Northern Railway, it appeared
that on Thursday night he saw the two prisoners follow-
ing a railway van and before he could get to them Costello
lifted the tarpaulin, jumped into the van, and handed to
the other prisoner a boa of raisins. Costello then jumped
from the van andthey ran up a low court withtheplumsand
made their escape. Last night he again saw the prisoners,
and with the aid of police-constable Morgan, 129 G, he
took them into custody.
George said, in defence, that he did not commit the
robbery, but he knew who did, and if he was allowed to go
be would point them out.
Costello said that he did not understand anything at all
about the matter.

Mr. Barker committed both the prisoners to the Middle-
sex sessions far trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.

THE RECKNT ACCI:SATION or CONCt&LHOINT OP BIRTH.

Mary Jame Po and Amelia Sparrow were brought on
remand before Mr. Newton charged on their own confes-
sion with having unlawfully concealed the birth of a female
infant child, of which the said Mary Jano Flys was the
mother.

Mr. Poland, barrister, instructed by Mr. Pollard, of the
Treasury, attended to prosecute on behalf of the crown ;
and Mr. Graves. from Mr. Vann's offices, defended Flye.
It will be remembered that at the last examination evi-
dence was given of a constable on duty in Bow having
been called by the prisoner Sparrow to • house in Milton.
street, and there made in the presence of Flye a state-
ment, subsequently signed by both of them, implicating •
medical man to such a serious extent that the utmost
scrutiny was deemed necessary, as his conduct was alleged
to involve charges of the most serious nature.

Mr. Poland called attention to this, adding That he
should today proceed with the examination of one witness
only, and then ask for a remand to allow further time
to investigate so important a matter. The father of the
child would doubtless shortly be traced. Not any names
bad yet been mentioned, and probably it was better that
this should be so.

Flora Ann Wells, of %, King-street, St. Luke's, then
deposed that on a certain day in August last she went
by request of the prisoners Sparrow and Flys to a
doctor in a street near the Haymarket, and
requested him to go to Flye, at 16, Finsbury-
street, Finsbury—that the doctor did attend, fetched
some medicine for Flye, stayed about three hours,
and then left, saying he should not be wanted for
10 or 11 hours more—that he then was again in attend-
ance, but the baby, a girl, had died just be-
ers ha arrived. Sparrow told him this, and also that the
father had fetched the body away. She did not know if
any certificate was given.
Loth prisoners were further remanded.
WESTMINSTER.
A SERIOUS " PROVESSIONAL" LOA&
. .

_ .....
A young woman giving the name of Eliza Swig was
charged with felony.
Isaiah Jame. LoLgstreet, who described himself es
gymnastic performer, stated that he was fulfilling an en-
gagement at the Standard Music-hall, Pimlico, last night
After be had bniahed his performance he came downstairs
with a bag containing his professional wardrobe and placed
it on a barrel in front of the bar while he spoke to Mr.
Brown, the landlord, behind the bar. When he had done
and turned round he found that the bag containing the
bundle was gone.
Mr. Selfe—What time was this?

Prosecutor—lt was very late. I had not finished in the
mom until half-past 11, and then I had to dress. Mine
was the last performance of the evening.
Mr. Selfe—They keep the best to the last, I suppose !
What was there in the bag!
Prosecutor—All my professional costume—tights, slip-
pers, paint, a belt, chalk, and everything for the use of
the business.
Two or three witnesses were examined, from whose
evidence it appeared that the prisoner was at the bar of
the Standard last night, and shortly afterwards was traced
home with the bag.
She was committed for six weeks.
WANDSWORTH.
ittruaratcr TO BUILDUS.
Mr. Leyland, the manager of the Wandsworth reforma-
tory for boys, appeared to answer two summonses, at the
instance of the district board of works tor erecting •
scaffolding on a public highway without having a license
ia writing from the clerk of the said board, and also for
erecting a building without putting up a hoarding and
properly lighting the same.
Sir. C,orsellis, the clerk of the board of works, attended
in support of the summonses which were taken separately.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Anthony Dobson, the surveyor of the board, said
the scaffolding was erected in the highway, in Spanish-road,
Wandsworth-common. There was also a quantity of bricks
stacked in the road. The defendant was erecting a new
reformatory institution, and no application had been made
for a license for the scaffolding.
The defendant said he had not erected the scaffolding,
and therefore it was very strange that he should have been
summoned. The justices left the erection of the building
to open competition among the builders, and he bad
nothing to do with the works. The truth was that Mr.
Dobson had two leasehold houses opposite, and he bad
avowed his intention of putting every obstruction in the
way of the building.
Mr. Dobson that was not true. He had no feeling in the
matter.

Mr. Dayman wished to know how Mr. Corsellis met that
objection.
Mr. Corsellis said be believed some Pere of the 'sheer
had been let, but the bricks were carted by the defendant.
The pound work was got out by the boys.
Mr. Dobson—And the boys wheeled the bricks on to
the works.

The defendant said that was tho case, but the erection
of the building bad been contracted for 3,000/.
Mr. CorseHis said the reason of the defendant being
summoned was that he bad promised to remove the bricks.
Mr. Dayman thought the builder should be summoned.
In the second case, Mr. Corsellis said the hoarding was
regnired in the main road.

The same objection wee raised in this case, when both
summonses were dismissed.
Mr. Leyland mentioned that Mr. Nightingale was the
builder, and his name was on a board in large listen
which was affixed on the works.

W. 6a., advanced by way of loan to his wife, she being

Mr. Took, solicitor, who appeared for the defendant,
