BOW.STREET.
Gorge Joul,lt Clerk, stated to be a bookbinder's appren-
tice, woe charged with being drunk and disorderly and
mouthing the police, and a gentleman named Thompson
was charged with attempting to rescue him from the custody
of the police and assaulting E 54.
Police-constable E 54 deposed that on the previous even-
ing he saw a crowd assembled in Holborn, where the pri-
soner Clerk was drunk and creating a disturbance. After
endeavouring to persuade him to go away witness took him
into custody. He resisted and struggled violently and threw
himself on the ground, dragging witness down upon his
knew. Mr. Thompson came op and told witness he
was to blame, and should not take the youth into
custody. He struck witness on the arm in order
to compel him to release Clerk, and exclaimed at
the same time, '' Let him go." Another constable
came up, and winks' handed Clerk over k his custody, and
took Mr. Thompson into custody. A struggle followed, in
the course of which Mr. Thomson struck him several times
in the face and on the chart. The crowd pressed closely
round them, and assisted Mr. Thompson to escape. He ran
away, and the crowd for a moment intercepted witness from
following, but he did as soon es he could, and seeing Mr.
Thompson get into • cab, be walked beside the vehicle.
Mr. Thompson desired the cabman to drive to the station-
house. On arriving. there Mr. Thompson got out of the
cab, and waness again took him into custody. • The crowd
were fnends or acquaintances of Clerk, he believed. Thomp-
son did not appear to have any knowledge of Clerk.
Mr. Mark, who appeared for Mr. Thompson, cross-exa-
mined the vdteees minutely, but without exaMing any-
thing to shake his testimony.
Mr. Hughes, a tradesman in Holborn, corroborated the
evidence of the constable, and stated that he (Mr. Hughes)
assisted to keep the crowd off from the constable, and re-
monstrated with them for being " all on to the policeman
together." He believed that but for his intervention the con-
stable would have been severely injured and both prisoners
would have escaped. Upon the arrival of a second con-
stable, F 31, he was desired by O 54 to take charge of Clerk,
wbo, however, struggled so violently that it required the
united efforts of three or four constables to remove him to
the station-house.

F 31 further corroborated.
Mr. Ma rkby, at ter • acerebing cross-examination of the wit-
names, said the ease was certainly one of mistaken identity.
It must 1111. Te been some other person who struck the con-
stable, for If Mr. Thompson had done so they surely would
not have allowed him to walk away quietly. It was tone
that Mr. Thompson was present at the time when E 54 was
struggling with Clerk, and remonstrated with the officer for
what he thought improper treatment of Clerk ; but he
denied having struck the constable at all, nor was he taken
in custody before the arrival at the station, where he at-
tended to make acomplaint against the police.
Mr. slarkby then called the cabman, who deposed that
Mr. Thompson walked quietly from the place where the
disturbance took place to the cab stand, a cbstaucce of about
100 yards. There was no constable or other person in pur-
suit of him. He got in and desired witness to drive after or
beside the police to the station-house. On arriving there
he got out of the cab to enter the station. He was then
taken into custody.
Mr. Thompson here maid he was anxious to make a state-
went After consulting his solicitor, be consented to make
it through the latter.
Mr. Markby repeated his former statement, with the addi-
tion that cue of the policemen tripped Mr. Thompson up
and threw him on the ground.
E 54 said he fell by aocident. No constabie was near him.
Mr. Corti' said this was oo ease of mistakeo identity. It
was truth or wilful falsehood. He believed the exactable's
statement corroborated by the defendant's witness. Mr.
Thompson must pay a fine of 40s. The assault by Clerk was
much worse, but as money was probably of grave import-
ance to him, a fine of 40a. would be sufficient, or in default,
a month.

The conductor of one of the London General Company's
omnibuses was summoned for refusing to admit the com-
plainant, Albert Henry Elworthy' to ride in his omnibus.
The question was this—Passengers are taken by the
Hornsey-avarl omnibuses to the City or West End, and on
arriving at a particular point those passengers who are for
the West-end are exchanged into a Favourite omnibus. The
defendant refused to give the complainant a seat until the
arrival of the Hornsey-road omnibus, in enter to see
whether there were any passengers fur the West-end. It
so happened that the passengers from Homey filled the
defendant'e omnibus, and the complainant was excluded.
For the defendant it was submitted that the custom of
exchanging passengers by these omnibuses had existed for
many years, end had been found very convenient to the
public, and the defendant was, therefor*, justified in re-
fusing to admit the complainant until the arrival of the
other omnibus.

The magistrate expressed his opinion that the defendant
was justified in the course he had taken, and dismissed the
summons.

ST THOMAS'S HOSPITAL AND THB °MARINO-

RAILWAY.

On Saturday morning the proceedings before the
arbitrators appointed by the hospital and the company
(Mr. James Bancroft, of Manchester, and Mr. Clifton, of
Bishopegate-street, London), and the umpire appointed
by the Board of Trade (Mr. James Stuart), were brought
to a close at the Westminster Palace Hotel. The evidence
for the hospital claim, amounting to a few pounds ooly
short of half a million of money (563,0001.), terminated
on Tuesday. On Wednesday Mr. Loyd, of the Chancery
bar (with whom were Mr. Johnson and Mr. Horace
Lloyd), opened the OW for the railway company, and
the remainder of the day, as well as the whole of
Thursday and port of Friday, was occupied in eying evi-
dence in ita support. Their witnesses were Mr. Hawkihaw,
Mr. Norton, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Tenfold, Mr. Lay, and other
arehitects and surveyors. The company and their witnesses
untended that the removal of the hospital to a suburban
site, free from the noises and other nuisances incidental to
one of the busiest portions of the metropolitan railway
traffic, must be an advantage to the hospital itself ; that,
inasmuch se the railway company only required a sma"
portion of the hospital property, and were compelled to take
the whob. by the action in chancery of the trustees of the
hospital themselves, the compereation on removal ought to
be exceedingly small ; and that the claim of the hospital
ought to be narrowed to the value of the hospital site for
building purpose, which, according to the different schemes
of the witnesses for the railway company, would not,
at twenty-seven years' purehase on the ground rents
to be obtained for the various houses, offices, shops, and
warehouses which could be limed upon it, amount to a
plater sum than about 200,0001 A curious feet was stated
la the course of the proceedlage—that the hospital, the
value of which is assessed by the hospital witnesses at
500,0001., and by the railway company's witnesses at
2C3,0001., was valued in the year 1570 at :Mt. oulv as ap-
pears by the Mate document. and the hospital charters. Ori
Friday evening Mr. Lloyd summed up the evidence adduced
ors behalf of the railway company. On Saturday morning Mr.
Borill (who, with Mr. Phipson and Mr. Field, represented
the hospital), in a speech of five hours' duration, summed up
on behalf of the claim. The arbitrators and umpire have
promised tomake an early derision, and it is expected that
their award will be ready in about a fortnight. Messrs.
Glen, Oulu, and Wainwright are solicitors for the hos-
pital ; the Noma Toogood, of Parliament.street, for the
railway company.

contains upwards of 20,C/0 inhabitants, has been visited
