to state that there was no truth whatever that state-
ment. tic wis not induced by any officer, nor any'
one else, to make the complaint which he had Made
against Mr. Goodere, He came unadvised by ring
person, and he thought it, only right and just to the
police to come forward and state that they were entirely
free from the imputation sought to be cast on them by
Mr. Goodere. Mr. Heywood asked Mr. Goodere what
he had to say to that ? Mr. Goodere said be had nothing
to say, but he would not withdraw what he had already
stated. Mr. Wybergh : You have made a serious charge,
against the police, and you ought either to substantiate
it, or withdraw the charge. Mr. Goodere: You allowed
me the privilege of going before the watch canmitted,
and I intend to do so. The matter then dropped,
A HARD CASE.—Catherine Brown, a poor needle,
woman, was charged by Peter Williams, an outfitter, in
Park-lane, with having pledged some shirts which he
gave her to make. The ease would not have been worth
recording in print btrt for the following facts :—The
poor prisoner said she was obliged to pledge the articles
out of sheer want. Ail she got was 4s a dozen for
making the shirts, and she had to pay the complainant
5s Gd a week rent for a house which she held from him,
and this had to come out of her week's earnings, which
left her in the most fearful state of poverty, 'Flee
complainant handed a book of the transactions between
him and the prisoner, when Mr. Heywood said he had
nothing to do with that. The complainant then asked,
was it to go forth to the public that a person could
pledge goods without any redress being given to the
owner ? when Mr. Wybergh said nothing of the sort
would go forth from that court; bat probably it would
go forth to the public that Mr. Williams was a very
hard task master. The prisoner was remanded.

STREET FIGIITING.—Two powerful looking men, named
William Drown and John Gillespie, were charged with
creating a riot by fighting in North-street. It appeared
that the prisoners were drunk, and that they began.
beating and kicking every one who passed, and like
another (a royal ruffian) fellow, who, when lie had nd
more people to kill, turned round and killed himself, tli6
prisoners commenced "slashing" each other like inad,;
and when the police interfered, they got a "licking"
too. The prisoners were fined .53 each.

" Putts Purr I"—A very large young man, dressed as a.
brewer's drayman, whose name was given as
Sumner, was charged with having assaulted brideweli
keeper Deering., of Vauxhall-road station. It app 'tired
that there was a comrade of the prisoner locked up at
the station for having committed some offence, and the
prisoner, whilst in a state of intoxication, Went to enquire
after him. At the station he behaved most disorderly,
and when ordered to go away, he threw himself on his
back, and commenced kicking the officer. In answer to
the charge, the prisoner said it
"imaginable." He was fined 5s

WOMEN STABBED BY ANOTRER.—A tall, grid
rather well dressed woman, named Mary Coghran, was
charged with having stabbed, in a severe manner, two
sisters named Mary Keely and Margaret M`Gough. The
facts of the case were these : —The prisoner and some
other person had a dispute in Primrose-hill about their
children, and a fight followed. One of the complainants
was passing, not knowinganything of the affair, when the
prisoner rushed at and stabbed her with a black-handled
knife in the forehead. The s;ster of the complainant was
convenient, and, seeing what had taken place, she ran to
the assistance of her sister, when the prisoner also struck
her with the knife in the forehead. Mr. Brown, surgeon
of the Northern Dispensary, who dressed the wounds, said
the injuries were serious, but he did not apprehend fatal
results from them. The prisoner was fully committed
for trial.

THE ALLEGED HOMICIDE ON BOARD THE
CHAMPION OF THE SEAS.

In our impression of Tuesday there appeared an account of
a fatal affray which took place on board the Champion of the
Seas. Yesterday the person charged, whose name is Thomas

the deck in a reclining position. He felt for pulse, but could
not find any. Ho opened a vein, but only about a teaspoon
full of blood came. The man was dead. He subsequently
made a post mortent examination of the body, and inside the
head he found au injury, extending behind the left ear to three
inches. There was blood, corresponding with injury, effused
on the brain, and also into the substance of the brain. All the
other organs of the body, with the exception of the

kidneys, were in a healthy state. Daath, no doubt what-
ever, was caused by the injury described, and that injury was
the result of a- blow or a fall. Mr. Mansfield : Then the
man died from external violence, as marked by the internal
injuries? Witness : Yes. The internal injury was caused
by the external violence. Mr. Mansfield : Yes, that's what
I mean, as the marks corresponded. Surgeon : They did
exactly. John Armstrong, one of the passengers by the
ship, said both the prisoner and deceased were passengers -
also. I was present at the time the transaction took place,
which resulted in the death of the deceased. One of the
passengers and deceased had a dispute about the pAyment of a
bottle of ale, and deceased called tho prisoner, and left the
matter in dispute to him. He decided against the deceased,
who then became angry and violent, and called the prisoner
bad names. They had some words, when deceased began to
kick at the prisoner. They wrestled a round or two, and the
prisoner struck with his fists, but the deceased continued to
kick, and said if ho could not strike he could kick. The
