Jeer,. 'teethe Nereid, of the New York Hotel. Lekoit-
tell I.4sioteter-squans, was brought before Kr. Tre-
s lutt oa a warrant by Sergeant Appleton, 23 0„ chanted
with unlawfully attempting to obtain front the Gaslight
and Coke Company (better known as tie Mattered Uzi
('Many), the suer of 2,100 i. under false pretences, with
intent to defraud.
Mr. Humphreys (Uumpbreye and Morgan) appeared
fcr the peeemotaon, and Blz. Dawes (Dawes and Mon)
sypeared ter the defence.
Mr. Humphreys said he appeared oa the part of the
as Light Company to prommete the prisoner for attempt-
ing to obtain the sumof 2,70 W. by false pretence,
from them. The prisoner, who was anAmeri-
can he believed by bath, kept a pleas to Leicester-street,
lowester-square, and was also the home of Saville-house
at the time it was burnt dawn be 1066, and the charge
against bias was that being the lissom of Saville-house at
the t.me of the Ore he made a claim on the One Light
Company for various sums for goods destroy
in all to the amount of nearly 3,0061.
prisoner brought an action against the company, and
sought to maintain his claim by means of that adios. The
matter was subsequently referred to utilization, and the
prisoner was examined before the arbitrator, and he then
stated that the contests of his claim were true—
that the contents of the (*kink were on the pre-
miers at this time of the tire, and were consumed at
the fire. He (Mr. Humphreys) should be able to drew
hereafter that the articles in the claim were not on the
pry mires at all ; but was not in a position to de so to-day,
the prironer having only been apprehended the previous
night by Sergeant Appleton. Ho should, therefore, have
to ask tor a Remand that the necessary witnesses might be
for thorming.
Mr. Humphreys then called
Sergeant Appleton, 26 0, who produced a warrant
SIR tied by Mr. linos. for the prisoner's apprehension.
Mr. Humphreys said they would take the warrant as
read.

l'ergeant Appleton said he apprehended the prisoner
cn the warrant at the New York Hotel la it
night. and that on reading the warrant to the pre
9011 CT he mid that he expected something of the sort in owl-
equenee of the manner in which he was questioned
talons the arbitrator. Tho prisoner afterwards spoke to Mr.
W aid, who oocupied premises under/Media-house, and said,
"Mr. Ward, you know I had a vast number of things in
the place," and Mr. Ward said he did not know what the
prisoner had. as he had enough to do to mind his own
business, and that he had himself been a great loser by the
fire. The prisoner also said, " a very serious affair
for ma, Mr. Ward;" and Mr. Ward said if the prisoner's
claim was a
the
one ho had nothing to fear. Mr.
Ward asked the prisoner how much be claimed,
and the prisoner said 2,700 f., upon which Mr. Ward said
it was a large amount of property, and that he had no idea
there was so much property there, and that it was more
than he had himself lost.
The prisoner—Did I not say I was glad it had occurred,
as it would clear my reputation. and that I did not like to
remain under the stigma which rested on my character
through what had taken place ?
Sergeant Appleton said the prisoner spoke to that
effect.

The prisoner mid he never took proceedings at all
against the Om Light Compan , and that he wan in
Brussels at the time the proceedings were taken. He
should have an answer to the charge.
In answer to the prisoner the sergeant said that he (pri-
soner) made some remark about mirrors, and that Mr.
Ward said he had seen glasses there, but not at the time
of the fire.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a case of considerable impor-
tance, and be should remand the prisoner.
Mr. Dawes applied for bail, but Mr. Humphreys object-
ing, Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to accept it. and the prisoner
was remanded.

GRHENWICH.

SIR RICHARD HAMM. 9 DOO LAW.- SINGULAR APPLICATION.

Upon Mr. Maude taking his seat on the bench this
morning, Mr. Morison, solicitor, of the Greenwich-road,
made application for his worship's assistance under the
following circumstances :
The applicant said that he unfortunately resided close
to the police station, and for some limo past, night and
day, he had been disturbed by the howling of the
captured dogs confined at the station. There
was an elderly and sick lady residing in
the same house, and they had put up with
the nuisance, hoping that the order of Sir R. Mayne would
hove expired on the 31st August. He had spoken to the
superintendent of police upon the subject ; but the nuimuice
continued. and he now had to ask for a summons.
_ -

Mr. Maude raid he thought the remedy would be by n
civil action, and not by indictment. He would send fur
the superintendent, and we if anything could be dune in
the matter.

itr
Superintendent
Griffin shortly afterwards arrived,
and, in reply to the maipsti ate, he said he did not know
how long the present order of Sir lt. Mayne was likely to
continue in force.

Mr. Maude said the keeping of strange dogs would
necessarily occasion a great noise, and asked if they could
not be removed to some other part of the police-station.
Mr. Griffin said in that case it would be only removing
them nearer to other persons' premises. They wore now
kept under the only open covered place there was at the
station, and their number was gradually decreasing.
Formerly they had as many as thirty dogs in a day tied
up, but now there were not more than three or four—
net more than were to he found in many private houses.
Mr. Morison suggested that while the dogs were in the
keeping of the police they should be muzzled, as in that
state their howling would be somewhat suppressed.
Mr. Griffin said he had no
.power to order the dogs to
be kept muzzled. They were tied up, and had water and
biscuit supplied them, with a man to keep them quiet.
(Laughter. Mr. Morison said all the man did was to halloo at the
dogs, give them a " bashing," and so increase the howling.
(Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Griffin promised to do all be could to render the
keeping of the dogs as little nuisance as possible in the
future ; and the applicant then left the court.

ALARMINO AOCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND
NOZTH WIMTEILV RAILWAY. —A very serious and alarm-
ing accident occurred yesterday morning on the line of
the London and North Western Company, at Edgehill
Station, near Liverpool. The train which leaves Barnhill
at o'clock a.m. generally reaches Edgehill in about ten
or twelve minutes afterwards. Yesterday morning the
train approached Edgehill station at a more rapid rate
than usual, and the points at the siding—used for shunt-
ing the engines on to after they have been uncoupled from
the carriages- being open, the train dashed over them.
There were some waggons on the siding, and the engine
coming into contact with them caused a very violent col-
lision. The buffers of the engine were broken, and the
engine itself badly damaged. A number of the pas-
sengers who were in the carriages at the fore part of the
train were severely shaken, and several of them received
some injuries, but none of a dangerous character. As can
be imagined, there was a good deal of confusion at the
time, but as noon as the engine was uncoupled, and the
carriages placed on the proper line, the train proceeded
down the tunnel to Lime-street where the wildest
rumours about the accident had gained ground.
A SOLDIER KILLED BY A FIRE ENO/111.
Saturday night one of the butts, in "F" linen, south camp,
Aldershot, used as a tailor's %hop in connection with the
2nd battalion, 6th Regiment, was found to be on fire. On
the alarm being given, the fire brigade, with an engine,
were ordered to proceed to the scene from the north camp.
On the engine passing through the lines the wheels came
against a surface drain, causing it to jerk, by which the
acting sergeant in charge was thrown to tlireecTound, and
receivedsuch severe injuries that he ez in a few
minutes. The deceased, whose name was oeeph William
Merrett, of the Battalion Rifle Brigade, was a very old
soldier, having been in the service 32 years, and was in
possession of seven good conduct badge.. Monett leaves

A STATION AND RAILWAY TRAIN Buurr BY
61471141. —The station at Belfort (Bent-Min), the ex-
tremity of the branch of the Paris to the Mediterranean
railway in the direction of Switzerland, has just been
burnt down. Twenty-nine trucks of that company and
eight of the Strasburg, loaded with merchandise, which
were ready for departure? were totally destroyed with
their contents. The rapidity with which the fire spread,
from the nature of the goods (a great part being oil), and
the scarcity of water, prevented anything being saved.
The elation was insured, but the two companies will have
to pay the value of the other property destroyed. Nothing
is known as to the cause of the disaster.
A disease has appeared in the orange and lemon
trees of Italy and Sisily.

Mr. Ledger called attention to the case of James Bioko,
which be said was one of those which had hem made a

was that he had riot ores ied No. 9, Bt. Anne's-lane for
twelve months. If that objeelisa stood alone the name
should undoubtedly he espunged, but having made a
claim for a successive emanation of No. 1, they agreed on

—"Ile Revising Barrister, on taking his emit said he
wished to make an observation: with respect to the 104
plasma' value for the lodger qualification. It seemed to
him on oonaideration that he had yesterday laid down,
rasher too "bard and fast line" in respect to that
subject. Ho had struck out every claimant who had not
paid more than Isu 6E. a week ; but on further sounds-
:Mica be thought that 4s. 6d. a week would leave a very
sufficient margin, for including the amount of rates and
taxes, in addition to the 10/. a year that gave a margin of
U. 13s. Gd. to meet the lodgers proportion of the ordinary
taxation, exclusive of the charge for occupation.
Mr. Notes said--Then the court left out of the act the
word "dear." The object of the last Reform Act was that •
person occupying a part of a house should be admitted to
the franchise equally with a person who occupied the
whole of a house. It was not the object to place him on
a superior footing, but on the same footing as to value as
the optimist of the whole house.
The Revving Barrister—Well, supposing that to be the
case I fall bask on the 4s. Bd. which leaves a margin of
U. 13e. 6d., which must be sufficient. I shall feet it my
duty to go again through everyone of those cases in which
the name was struck out because the lodger paid only
48. Bcl. a week.

A lengthened discussion ensued on this point, Mr. Notes
maintaining that the proportion of rates ought to be de-
ducted, and that if, when that deduction was made, there
was not a clear IW. annual value left to the landlord, the
tenant was not qualified.
Mr. Moon and Mr. Gilbert, on the contrary, contended
that no deduction whatever ought to be made. and that
if the lodger paid 4s. a week that was sufficient to satisfy
tho requirements of the act.
At the conclusion of the argument,
The Revising Barrister said he should decide that 4s. a
week was sufficient; that left Bs. surplus.
The list was then proceeded with.
