POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

•«.

BOW-STREET.—Mr. Strahan attended before Mr.
Jardine, upon his own recognisances, accompanied by
his bail (Dr. Gordon, of-Dorking, and Mr. Beadon, the
police magistrate), to undergo the formality of being
further remanded for another week, in accordance with
the agreement come to at the last examination.
Sir John Dean, Paul and Mr. Bata, who have not
yet succeeded. in getting securities to the required
amount, were also brought up from the House of Deten-
tion, by Lieut. Hill, for the same purpose..
It is understood that the remand next,Wecinesday and
the week-following will be of the same formal character,
although <involving the. necessity,- on each occasion, of
the attsnclanee of the bail—a circinnstance which is said
to have chiefly deterred the friends of the two other pri-
soners becoming sureties in their behalf.- -

which the prisoner,, the-cornviniok-of -the /AWN., 'lazed al

heavy blow at Scanlan, who fell upon the pavement and I
remained there insensible. After a short time the pri-
soner sent for a cab, and paid a cabman to take him
away. He appearCd to act kindly to the deceased while
in this condition. 1

A man named James Shields, who witnessed the occur-
rence, deposed to having accompanied the deceased in
the cab to his lodgings, near the Hampstead-road. He
never recovered his senses, and while he was assisting in
lifting him out cf the cab, his head fell upon his breast.
He died two days afterwards.
It was stated that all the men appeared to be drunk
at the time of the quarrel. The prisoner gave himself
up' to the police as the person who committed the
assault.

Constable Dewey, 8 E, said the surgeon who attended
the deceased, was unable to say whether death wit.] caused
by the blow or the fall. It also transpired that when
the deceased reached home, notwithstanding his insen-
sible condition, his wife began knocking him about the
head, and otherwise ill-treating him.
Mr. Henry said he could not decide the case without
the evidence of the surgeon, who must be sent for.
The prisoner was removed for this purpose.

WESTMINSTER.—John Cole, the alleged proprietor
of a coffee shop and beer-house, Nos. 9 and 10, Upper
Eaton-street, Pimlico, was summoned for permitting
betting.
Samuel Lush said that the defendant kept a list and
books for betting upon various horse-racing events, and
complainant had repeatedly taken the odds from him.
On the 10th of July the defendant laid him 4 to 2 against
Early Bird, 4 to 1 against Ellermire, 3 to 1 against Dal-
keith, 2 to 1 against Goorkah, 2 to 1 against Benham.
The whole of these bets were in shillings, and complain-
ant deposited his stakes' with Mr. Cole's man i❑ his pre-
sence. Early Bird won the race, and when he went for
six shillings (the two he had deposited and four that be
had won of defendant) he pretended that he had paid on
the Wednesday night previously, which was absolntely
before the race was run. Complainant had known de-
fendant as proprietor of the house for a length of time
past, and had seen bim acting there always as master.
Complainant had repeatedly seen persons deposit money
with him upon horse-racing events.
Defendant, in reply to the charge, denied that he was
the owner or occupier of the house, and -called Charles
Rawsell, a potman, to prove that Charles Cole was the
person licensed for the sale of beer, whose name was
over both doors. Defendant only stopped there when
he was in town.

➢Zr. Arnold said that he sbould alter the summons to
being a person using the house for the purpose of bet-
ting, and as defendant might wish time to answer that
charge, he would adjourn the case if he desired it.
Defendant, who denied all knowledge of the transac-
tion with the complainant, asked for time, and the case
was adjourned for a week.

SOUTl\VAßK•—ThomasMusgrove, an engine driver,
and James Carew, a porter, in the employ of the Lon-
don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company,
were charged on suspicion of stealing a diamond ring.
It appeared that Musgrove took the ring, which was
worth about 20/., to Mr. Walmsley, a jeweller, near St
George's Church, Southwark, and offered it for sale at
308. Mr. \ValmslFy detained the ring, suspecting it was
stolen, and afterwards both prisoners called together at
his shop, but as their explanations were unsatisfactory,
they were given into custody.
It was stated tbat two boxes of valuable jewellery had
recently been stolen on the Brighton Railway,
The prisoners were remanded for further inquiry.

GREENWICH.—John Bnrgess, an attendant at
Greenwich Pier, was summoned before Mr. Seeker,
charged by Mr. Francis Little, a gentleman residing at
Morley's hotel, with having committed upon him a gross
and violent assault.

Complainant stated that himself and friend had taken
tickets to proceed to London by the steam-boat, and
went to the floating pier for the purpose of embarking.
A sort of sliding gangway, with handrail, was attached
to the boat from the pier, at the end of which defendant
was standing. He (Mr. Little) was behind the defend-
ant, and endeavoured to pass in that manner from the
gangway (as there were persons coming from the boat
by the same means), when the defendant struck him
with his elbow in the chest, seized him by the collar,
and whirled him vio!ently round, throwing him against
a lady, who complained of being much hurt.
Defendant in reply said that he was stationed at the
foot of the gangway for the purpose of taking the
tickets from the passengers as they passed down, and
when the complainant endeavoured to push behind him,
all the persons were not off the gangway. The proper
passage was before him and not behind him, and com 7
plainan, pushed him twice before he resented it. He
did not act so violently as was attempted to be proved.
A gentleman, who gave his name as Lord Buskin, here
stepped forward, and said his friend, Mr. Little, was very
roughly used, and that there was plenty of room for both
Mr. Little and himself to have passed.
Defendant said he had witnesses to prove (one of
whom was the lady who had complained of being hurt)
that he was not to blame, and begged the magistrate to
adjourn his decision until he could nroduce them. The
lady lived at Homerton, near Hackney, and owing to
the short notice of the summons, he had not been able to
communicate with her,

Mr. Little wished the oase settled at once, as he was
about to prooeed to Ireland. He had come forward not
with a vindictive object, but entirely on public grounds,
as they (the public) ought to be protected froth each vio-
lence. His new coat had been torn, but he did not mind
that. He wished the man to be admonished by the
mazistrate.

The magistrate was not sure who was in the wrong,
therefore should adjour❑ the case until the following day
for the production of the witnesses.
