POLICE INTELLIGBNCE—Des. 8.

MARYLEBONE.
POCKET-PICKING. Wm, Bromley, a respectably-
dressed man, was brought up by Sergeant Jenkins, of
the D division, and placed at the bar before Mr. Brough-
ton for re-examination charged with having stolen from
the pocket of Mrs Anne Trickoy, residing in Westbourne-
grove, Paddington, a sovereign.
Mr. Duncombe attended for the prisoner.
The evidence went on to show that on Saturday last a
great crowd had assembled near the Great Western Rail-
way station to obtain a eight of the King of Sardinia,
and that among:A the said crowd was the prosecutrix,
from whose pocket the prisoner was seen to abstract a
sovereign, but on his noticing the officer, who was stand-
ing close to him, and who had been watching his move-
he haitily replaced the coin in the pocket from
which he had abAracted it. fl was then taken into
cm.tody and conveyed to the station-house.
Mr. Duncoinbe, after se►ne further evidence had been
adduced, contended that not sufficient had been proved
to justify a conviction.

The Prisoner, however, ultimately pleaded guilty,
rather than be sent for trial, and he was dealt with sum-
marily by being committed to the House of Correction
for four months.

The first trophies of Sebastopol have just arrived at
the Louvre. They consist principally of two Sphinxes
of white marble of large proportions, nearly equal to
those at the fountains of the Chateau d'Eae, but with
this essential difference, that the Russian Sphinxes have
the heads of women instead of those of lions. They have
been temporarily placed in the first room of the Assyiian
Museum, facing the Rue de Rivoli.
THE LATE TRAGEDY AT BRIGETTO7I.—At a meeting of
the Brighton Medical Society, held on Thursday even-
ing, at the Dispensary, the unfortanatie and mysterious
affair of the deaths of Dr. Franck and his son Hugo was
introduced, and led to a long discussion, by Dr. Carter,
the medical gentleman who gave evidence at the inquest,
reading a paper on the subject. The meeting was largely
attended by the medical profession of Brighton, and
!from neighbaurirg ton ns, who took a deep interest in the
proceedings. Dr. Carter in his paper defended himself
against the attacks which had boen made upon him,
citing numerous authorities and cases in support of ttte
!opinions given by him in evidence before the coroner's
'jury„ and s'rictly adhering to them in every particular. The
, general tone of the speakers, with one or two exceptions,
t was in support of Dr. Carters views, viz., that thefather
killed the son by strangulation, and afterwards, in a
f
Lof monomania, destroyed his own life by jumping out olf
the window:- The meeting broke up after sitting Lear,.,
three hours, and passed a vote of thanks to Dr. Carter
for his interesting papa.
