always addressed Count Thop, Prussian Legation. I had
no authority to take them in, but took them in as an act
of kindness.
Sergeant Rogers, C division, said there were numerous
other cases against the prisoner, and thought if he was re-
manded the parties would come forward and prosecute.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.

LAMBETH.—Andrew Wild, a constable belonging
to the A. division of police, was summoned to show cause
why an order should not be made on him for the support
of an illegitimate child.
The case had been previously twice adjourned, the de-
fendant having on each hearing declared that he should
be able to prove he was not the father of the child. The
complainant, a modest-looking young woman, named
Ellen. Page, deposed that while living comfortably with
her sister she became acquainted with defendant, who
was then employed on the South Western Railway. He
seduced her under a promise of marriage, which he then
refused to keep, Complainant gave her evidence in so
straightforward and convincing a manner that de-
fendant's own counsel advised him to consent to an
order, but he declined, and getting into the witness box
swore deliberately that he had only known the com-
plainant as a woman of loose character. An adjourn-
ment then took place at his request, and on the next
hearing he produced a constable of the L division named
Fry, who swore that he had frequently seen complain-
, ant, whose calling, he said, there was no mis-
' taking, going into public-houses in company with men,
&c., but this witness shamefully prevaricated under
cross-examination. The defendant then asked for another
adjournment, and at the next hearing he produced a
witness, who gave his name John Winstead, and de-
scribed himself as a shoemaker, living in his own house,
14, Chester-place, Hercules-buildings. This man swore
that he was well acquainted with complainant, had drank
with her at different public-houses, and had intimacy
with her three times within the last twelve months.
Complainant earnestly denied these statements, and
ad led that she had never seen Winstead until that mo-
ment. Winstead, when cross-examined, said, that the
policeman was a perfect stranger to him until that morn-
ing. The defendant gave the same account, but un-
fortunately for Winstead, he added such statements
as showed both of them were unworthy of the
slightest credence, and the magistrate intimated to
Winstead that he must appear the following day to an-
swer any charge preferred against him. Befere this,
however, he had absconded, and it nee since been ascer-
tained that he had frequently been summarily convicted
as a notorious thief, had subsequently been transported
for seven years, and had not long been discharged on a
ticket of leave.

Mr. Norton said be was glad he had taken such
trouble in sifting the case, for, during the many years he
hal sat on the bench, ho had not met with an affair more
tlisraceful. Had Winstead male his appearance, he
bave committed him for perjury. He (Mr. Nor-
to.i) was of opiuion that the policeman Fry La] c.-nn-
mitted perjury, and he was very glad find that since
giving his evidence he had given in his resignation, and
left the force, fur the life and liberty of no wan were slf-!
whiki such persons remained in the police for;,•e.,His (Mr.
Norton's) observations with respect to the other constable
would apply with equal force to the defendant, who
had not only been guilty of perjury himself, hut ac-
t vifly suborned the two witnesses to come forward
and swear that which he knew to be grossly false. My
opinion, continued the magistrate, is that he should
riot be allowed to remain in the police force, and my
decision in the case is that an order be made on the de-
feu Lint to pay ss. a week for six weeks after the birth
of the child, and half-a-crown afterwards. The defend-
ant has the power of appealing if he likes.
Mr. Inspector l)arkin, of the A division of the force,
who was present to watch the case, said he should take
care that his worship's recommendation should be com-
municated to the Commissioner of Police.

Mr. .Charnock, the solicitor to the young woman who
hat been compninant, applied to the magistrate to hold
the defendant to bail to appear on a future day, when it
was his intention to prefer a charge of perjury and sub-
ornation of perjury against him, an _1 Mr. Nin-ton complied
with his request and bound over Wild in his own recog-
nisances of 1001.

THAMES.—CRI3I. CON. AND ASSAULT ON A WIFIC
BY HER HUSBAND.—Jacob Volp, a German, who keeps
a potato-shop and coal-shed, at No. 12, Charles-street,
Greenfield-street, Commercial road East, appeared het ore
Mr. Ingham, charged with assaulting Catharine Volp,
his wife.

Mrs. Yolp who carried a fine child in her arms, said
her husband cohabited with his servant girl while
the 'witness was in the hospital ; on her recovery, she
was informed of the criminal conversation between
her husband and the girl, and when she remon-
strated with him, he abused her and ill used her.
She insisted on the girl leaving the house, and her
hwband said she should remain, and she should not
leave for 1,000 thalers, and for no one on earth. Then
they had a fall out about the girl, and her husband
kicked her about the legs and arms. That was often done.
On Monday he knocked her down once, and kicked her
on the leg.
The prisoner, in German, said his wife was very jea-
lous of him and his servant girl, and beat him with a
fire-shovel.

Mr. Ingham—ls that true, Mrs. Volp ? Did you
strike him with a fire-shovel ?

Mrs. Volp—Oh ! yes, mine vorship, I did—that was
all in joke. (Laughter.)
Mr. Ingham—A. fine joke, certainly.
Mrs. VolpHe kicked me with his legs because I
told him he had no right to have mine servant girl in
his bed, mine vorship, while I am in the hespital.
Several witnaggerl were e-Anralucd, who said that the
quarrel arose out of the infidelity of Mr. Volp, who co-
habited with his servant girl while Mrs. -Volp was from
home, and all the German women, his neighbours,
"tickled too" and gave Mr. Volp a good hiding for his
unfaithfulness. The girl lived in a back court in the
rear of Charles-street, and, when Mrs. Volp retired to
her bedroom, the girl came over a back wall to Mr.
Vo'n's dwelling, and he entertained her in his parlour.
Mr. Ingham—What do you sayto that, Mr. Volp? It
appears your countrywomen have punished you for the
faux pas you have committed ?

Mi. VOlp said his wife abused him and called him an
adulterer.

Mr. Ingham—lt can't be expected she can allow you
two wives. If you don't part with the girl she will
bring you here again.
Volp—l will never strike mine vrow (wife) again.
Mr. Ingham—But you must part with that woman.
Yelp—l ask mine vrow to prove I was in bed with
the young woman.

Mrs. Volp (much excited) —Yes ; I saw you mine self.
I saw you in same bed.
Mr. Volp said the young woman had left his house,
and his wife might go too, if she liked.
Mr. Ingham lectured the defendant on the gross im-
propriety of his conduct, and said he would send him to
prison and to hard labour if he beat his wife again, and
ordered him to enter into his own recognisances in the
sum of 201. to keep the peace for 12 months.
Volp then preferred a charge of assault against a Ger-
man woman, named Catherine Colpe, and said he was in
the Royal Oak public house in Plummer's-row, White.
chapel, and the defendant came there and abused him.
fle went home to avoid her, and she hit him three or
four times on his face with her fist. Other German,,
rna?e and female, beat him also. Ode was armed with a
fire-shovel, another with a noker, and a third with a
large iron weight. He nearly lost his life. Everything
in his place was broken.
In defence, Mrs. Colpe said the complainant struck
her on the nose, and pulled her bonnet off. This state-
ment was confirmed by several witnesses, German and
English, and the complainant's own wife said he was
tipsy on Monday when the affray took place.
Mr. Ingham—You have been misconducting yourself
most gros-ily, Mr. Volp, and the summons is dismissed.
At five o'clock, when Mr. Ingham was about to leave
the court, Mrs. Volp applied for a warrant against her
husband, who assaulted her and turned her out of doors
the moment she went home, and threatened her hfe.
Mr. Ingham granted another summons against Mr.
Volp.
