she saw Clarke drinking porter with another onnvtable.
/err ant Floyd. The latter officer, being sent for, ad-
mitted that be had some porter, but that Clarke was not
present actually, being in the court outside at the time.
fir T. Reury said this wee a very serious matter, for he
was bound to say that he believed the evidence of Wm.
Hancock and the landlady. Ho was sorry to say this of
constables who had been in the force five years. The
charge must be dismissed, and nn doubt the conduct of the
police would be investigated elsewhere.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EZBOU/S0 IMOK NUM,

A few days ago a young man named Om* was charged
at this court with disgraceful conduct to • girl named
Rachel Levy, and wan committed for trial.
During the hearing of the case it appeared that the girl
was in the habit of sleeping on the stairs of different
houses nightly, preferring to do so to witnessing the re-
volting noenes she was ezpoeed to by her mother and the
man she cohabited with. Sergeant Shillingford, of the
C division, informed the magistrate (Mr. Arnold)
that the mother of the girl kept a brothel in
Arndel-wart, Haymarket, at the time of the murder of
the Frenchwoman. Virginie Silvestre, by an Italian named
Laid, some years since; that she was in the habit of
having a number of girls—some of them more children—
at her home; that ahe had cohabited with n man who
was vent to prison for live years, and that while he was
away she lived with a ticket-of-leave man, and he hail no
doubt the girl would soon he on the streets if left with
her mother.

?4r. Arnold, feeling that something ought to ho done
for the girl. consulted Welsh, the offieti-keeper, auil at
hi, suggestion cent the girl to the workhomic till after the•
trial, Welch undertaking in the meantime to find a home
for her. The trial having takon place, Welsh inform
Mr. Knox as to what had taken place, and that he had
found a Mane for the girl at the London Female Preven-
tive and Reformatory Institution, 195, Hampstead-mud. a
moat valuable institution, having for its object the train-
ing of girls who have not yet fallen, so as to fit them
to become domestic servants.

Mr. Kato: onlered Wolidt the necessary fund. to pro-
vide the girl an outfit.

MI NM! DOG LAW.

Henry Go/dine, of No. 24, iiiiord-street, Stepney,
labourer, Stnifit, of No. 17 in the same street, butcher,
and Cortielima Nash, of 142, Union-court, Southwark,
greengrocer, wore brought before Mr. Paget. charged with
assaulting three police constables, to wit, William Lilly-
ston
429 e, 307 K, Arthur Tarrant, 192 A, and George Drew,
K.
The case originated out of the new dog law.
Lillystone met with a stray dog, in Oxford-
street, Stepney, and put a string round its
neck for the purpose of conveying it to the station-house.
The dog struggled to regain its liberty and the string
tightened. The constable, tuisions that the dog should not
be strangled, stooped for the purpose of loosening the
string. Golding at that moment made his appearance, and
said "11l loosen the string for you." He pretended to assist in
making the dog secure without endangering its life, and set it
liberty. Lillystone demanded his name and address.
Golding refused, and said, " Do you think I am going to
give it to a little fool like you?" and struck him in the chest
with his:elhow. Lillystone seized him with his left hand and
was about to lay hold of his collar with his right hand
when Golding bit it, inflicting a slight wound. The other
prisoners then appeared on the scene and made an attempt
to wean) Golding. A roweasued. Tarrant and Drew came
to the assistance of Lillystone and the former was vio-
lently assaulted by Nash. After much struggling the pri-
soners, who were drunk, were taken into custody.
Golding said be really intended to assist Lillystone in
securing the dog, and that the animal bit him in the leg
and ran away. He did not intend to strike the constable.
The other prisoners denied knowing anything of the dog
or the new law.

Proof of publication of the notices was, however, given,
and

Mr. Paget eentenftd Golding to 14 days' imprisonment
with hard labour. Nash had, without any provocation,
committed a brutal assault on Tarrant, and he therefore
committed him to prison and hard labour for 21 days.
Smith was discharged.
There were upwards of 1,000 unclaimed dogs at the
various station-houses of the metropolis this day.

6,000/. or 7,000/. per mile. It was not likely th it the
Board of Trade would liken to a private application con-
trary to the public interest. (Hear, boar.)
Other ehareholdeft having expressed concurrent* in the
views of Mr. Filth*
The amendment was put and rejected ; after which the
original motion was carried by a large majority.
A similar resolution was lamed with regard to the
Barnet extension, three and a half miles long, involving
for a single line, as the Chairman stated in reply to a
question, a cost of about 65,0001. The extension of time
asked for is two years.

At a board meeting of the directors of the Grand
Trunk Railway Company of Canada, held on
Wednesday, the following resolutions were
adopted :
That, with respect to the application for a lest of bond
and stockholders, Mr. Creak be informed that, under pee-
sent circumstances, this board can only refer to their
resolution of the 27th ult., and to the secretary's letter
to Mr. John Marshall Paine of the 30th ult., inviting
that gentleman, and those acting with him, to take the
necessary steps for obtaining for this board authority from
the ensuing general meeting to furnish the list requested,
this board repeating that, as far as they are concerned, they
will be happy to co-operate in asking for the necessary
authority. That, with reference to the request for the resig-
nation of this board, Mr. Creak be invited to take:the
necessary steps for a special general meeting of the bond
and stock holders to consider that subject, if he thinks
Ht, and be informed that, whilst this board, of
course, cannot entertain it upon the demand of the
gentlemen who constituted the unofficial meeting on the
18th, and whose names and holdings even are not
stated, they not only will make nocomplaintif the subject
be submitted in the usual manner for the decision of thege-
neral bodyof proprietors, but will at once act upon that de-
cision whatever it may be. In thus inviting Mr. Creak and the
gentlemen acting with him to adopt a practical mode at once
within their power of disposing of the question raised by
them, this board must again, in the interest of the general
body of proprietors, protest against the continuance of inde-
finite agitation, which cannot lead practically to any good
result, and which must tend to the serious injury of the
undertaking in which so many persons are so larg3r
interested.

The joint traffic return of the Caledonian and
North British railways shows this week an increase
