and extracting from it the oonolusion that tik
plan wee to endow the catholic church, he empha-
tically condemned it as too late, and contrary
to the sense of Zngiand and Scotland, and repudiated
by the Irish catholic"' themselves Replying to
Mr Roebuck's inquiry whether ho was prepared
with a bill, he disclaimed heartily the idea of
" huddling the question up in an abstract resolu-
tion," and he pointed to the second and third reso-
lutions as a proof that it was not intended once
again to mock the people of Ireland with idle words.
The remainder of the night's proceedings were as
follows
Mr. NEWDEOATE (who roes amidst loud cries of
" Oh, oh !") said he should vete against the motion for

THE POLICE COURT&
BOW-STREET.

William Dawidls, decently-dressed men of about
30 years of age, wee charged before Sir Thomas Henry with
being on the premises at the Charing-cross Terminus of
the South Eastern Railway for the purpose of committing
larceny. . _

Sergeant Mon chton ,tlte detective officer !specially attached
to the station, deposed that he saw the prisoner sitting in
the first-class waiting room at about twenty minutes to
8 o'clock. Ho remained there till 8 o'clock. The witness
asked him what he was doing there. He said he was
going toaLondon.bridge. Witness asked him what he was
doing there the previous day ? He replied that be had
mine from London-bridge. Witness said that could not be
true, as he had seen him come in from the Strand. He
replied, "Yes. I came from London-bridge about 9
o'clock, and then went into the Strand and made a call in
the neighbourhood. I returned here at a little after
eleven o'clock." Witness observed, "Yes, and stopped
an hour." The prisoner said, "I am going to London-
bridge now." Witness said, " Very well. I will see you
take your ticket." The prisoner hesitated, and witness
said, " I am not satisfied with your story at all ; I shall
tele youjto the inspector's office." He did so, and on
searching the prisoner found that he had not • single
penny in his possession. Witness then took him into
custody. He gave an address in Mount-gardens, which
turned out to be correct, but he also gave another
address in Horselydown, on inquiry at which witness
I found that he had formerly lived there, but bad
left in the landlord's debt to the extent of 41. 10s.
The prisoner said he had • situation in the em.
ployment of • well-known firm in the Oity, but on
inquiry witness found that it was not true, and that, in
point of fact, he had never even made any application for
employment there. At the station-house he stated that he
was • Welshman. Upon him was found • pocket-book and
two lockets. Witness had repeatedly seen him at the
station, but never saw him arrive or depart by a train.
Sir Thomas Henry said that this was a strong ease of
suspicion. It was evident that the prisoner had no inten-
tion to go by the train, for, though he was in a first-class
waiting-mom, implying that he was a passenger by that
class, yet it seemed that he had not even the money to
pay for a third-dais ticket. The waiting.roorns were for
the use of passengers only, and not of idlers. Robberies
ware frequently committed by persons banging about the
station, and it. was with the gettestwdifficulnaty that the

PBSPLEING FOWLS FOR THE MARK ET. —At the
Whitchareh (Salop) petty sessions on Friday a dealer,
named Fletcher wss brought up on remand charged with
shocking cruelty to a fowl. From the evidence of the Rev.
John Evans, incumbent of Whixall, it appeared that in
pat the house of the defendant, who was one of his
ners, he found him sitting down with a live
tween his knees, coolly plucking the feathers off it.
The fowl was quivering at every pull, but on Mr. Evans
remonstrating with him, Fletcher replied that it did not
hart it, and continued the process. For the defence,
Fletcher said he had first bled the fowl by cutting its
throat, which was his ordinary practice*, " but fowls would
sometimes Rep and struggle if they were plucked before
they were cold." He called a poulterer named Thomas
Iburbead, who deposed that he was in • large way of bust.
w^ and that be was in the habit of killing between
5,000 and 6,000 fowls par week. He always plucked them
in the same way se Fletcher had done. A letter was
read from the Secretary of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, who had been communi-
cated with It magistrates, and who stated thatch' prac-
tice of pine • the feathers from birds whilst alive was
followed with object of making them appear plumper
when sent to market. The defendant was convicted, and
lined 10s. and costs, with the alternative of 14 days' ini-
prineement.

He did not protein agreement with all the opinions of
Milton • but he did not are to express his dissent.
