Xt. Knox said it unfortunately appeared there was but

to send them to, and even this insitution was overfull,
'I hen again, as far as industrial schools were eon-so:del,

had written letters to the anther ibex+ of the rA-Kirt pointing

Mr. Knox, addiesving the two young women, sail there

rad situations procured for them if they were willing ti
take advantage al the opportunity offered to them. They
were free to accept the offer or to decline it.
The young women said they should only be too happy
to go into the institution.
Mr. Knox said arrangements should be immediately
made to mend the young women to the inxtitutiou ; and as
he ecnsidered the inetituton was a very proper place on
which to bestow a contribution from the pir he

WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday, before the business of the mot began, Mfr.
Satre, addressing Superintendent Hayes, of the B division,
said be had a few words to say in reference to the ease of

Wiergeast Asier, 6 B, who was charged theilay before with
assaulting a lad named Cornelius !kg on August 10th,
hen he heard the 0:45%nl al charge prcferred by Aaker
against King, on the evidence he could only come to
the coneluaion that King was wrongfully charged, and
discharged him, making some strong remarks on the con-
duct of the sergeant, and advising a summons against
that summons had been heard by Mr. Ingham,
a good deal of additional evidence was adduced,
the defendant had the advantage of claml to
defend him, and he was entirely absolved from
blame. I express (continued Mr. Belie) 110 opinion
on the merits of the case, as I did not hear the evi.
deuce, but I feel bound by the decision of my le;;aii
league, before whom the te heard,
And dextrine ti;gtve that deeisloa effect, , t the
ear-ilea oppOrtunlty of expressing my regret for making
the obeerfatiOns on Sergeant Aga, , wish as far as
Possittia ft withdraw them.
Mk Hayes made some observations on the manner in
which the magistrates at that court treated the police;
they never had an opportunity of explaining themselves,
and in fact, shrank from performing their duty for fear of
•reprimand from the magistrates.
r. Sella declined to hear anything more, and Mr.
Hayes retired.
SOU.IIIWABK.. . . .

Rate! RUC was charged on remand with musing the
death of Charles Denny, aged 62, by striking him on the
head with a pair of tongs.
Prom the evidence adduced on the first occasion it ap-
that the deceased resided with his wife at No. 2,
C:rd -street, Gravel-lane, Southwark, and on Saturday
week paid a visit to a fellow labouring man named Ryan,
residing at No. 2, Duke's-court, Union-street, Borough.
The two men had not been long in conversation when
prisoner, in company with a woman reputed Si his wife,
came up. Bee informed Ryan that the latter's wife was
being maltreated at the end of the yard, to which the hus-
band replied that he had every confidence in hie wife's
fidelity, and ordered the prisoner to leave the house at
once. A quarrel then ensued, and Roe taking up a pair of
tongs tried to strike Ryan, but he warded off the blow. The
deceased endeavoured to assist Ryan, when prisoner
struck him with the tone on the head. The wife of
Roe then came up, and with a chopper struck dammed
twice on the head with it. Ile staggered back and put
his two hands up to his head, which bledprofusely, and in a
state of exhaustion he was removed to Guy's Hospital,
where he expired.
Evidence having been taken at length,
Mr. Burcham said he had carefully considered the whole
cape, and could not see the slightest evidence to show
either that prisoner had caused, or assisted to cause, the
death of Denny. He disagreed with the finding of the
coroner's jury, and as far as he was concerned should dis-
charge the prisoner.
The prisoner was then discharged, but again taken into
custody on the coroner's warrant to await his trial.

EITH.

. Mr. Comelima Alfred Leftist, of Brovrnlow-street. High
Holborn, was brought up on a warrant, charged with
threatening to run a knife through the heart of Hies Mary
Edwards, a dressmaker, of 3, Wellington-terrace, Not-
tiagg bill.
The complainant, who appeared ill, stated that she bad
known the prisoner for several years, and was formerly
his sweetheart. He had been married about four years,
anti during the time she bad visited his wife, with whom
she was very friendly. She was now engaged to be
married, but she did not know whether the prisoner was
aware of that or not. On Tuesday night last he came to
her lodgings, but she told him that he could not go up
stairs. He said he would, and he then went up to her
room, when she introduced him to a gentleman who was
there. After the gentleman left the prisoner remained,
and talked about what bad happened in previous years.
He told her that he bad been watching her, and saw the
gentleman enter, and he asked her what he wanted. He said
if the gentleman came there to see her ho would kill her.
He took up &knife and said that was for her heart. He
had threatened her before, and she went in fear of her
life from him. His threat! bad so alarmed her that she
had become very ill.
Cross-examined—He threatened her because he was
afraid she had invited the gentleman. It was not be-
cause he said she had told his wife one thing and himself
another. He did not say that she had planned things to
make grievances betweenhimself and his wife.
The prisoner asked for au adjournment, to prove per-
juu. He said be believed the case had been got up to
make his wife ill, because she was near her confinement-
He also said that the complainant had been in the habit
of following him about, in spite of his not wie.ing to
speak to her, and after he was married she interceded with
his wife to keep up the acquaintance.
Mr. Hayman said all that apred inconsistent with
his going to her house. He to adjourn the case,
as he thought he was hound to comply with the com-
plainant's request to call upon him to find hail to keep
the peace. He then ordered him to find two sureties in
50i. each, and to be bound in his own recog ii,onces in
the slim of 1001., to be of good behaviour for twelve
months.
