heavy blow at Scanlan, who fell upon the pavement and '
remained there insensible. After a short time the pri-
soner sent for a cab, and paid a cabman to take him
away. He appeared to act kindly to the deceased while
in this condition.
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 of 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 was 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 we 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 odde 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 Benhams.
The whole of these bets were in shillings, and complain•
ant deposited his stakes with Mr. Cole's man in his pre-
sence. Early Bird won the race, and when he went for
six shillings (the two he had deposited and four that ho
had won of defendant) he pretended that he had paid on
the Wednesday night previously, which was absolutely
before the race was run. Complainant had known de-
fendant as proprietor of the house for a length of time
past, and had seen him 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 Colo was the
person licensed for the sale of beer, whose name was
over both doors. Defendant only stopped there when
he was in town.
Mr. Arnold said that he should 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.

SOUTH WARK•—nomaslf usgrove, 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 201., to Mr. Walmsley,• a jeweller, near St
George's Church, Southwark, and offered it for sale at
303. Mr. Walmslt y 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 that two boxes of valuable jewellery had
recently been stolen on the Brighton Railway.
The prisoners were remanded for further inquiry.

GREENWICH.—JoIene BnrgeJs, an attendant at
Greenwich Pier, was summoned before Mr. Seeker,
charged by Mr. Francis Little, a gentleman residing at
Morley's hotel, with hqving 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 mariner from the
gangway (aa 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 violently round, throwing him against
a lady, who comVained 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 pu,h behind him,
all the persons were not off the gangway. The proper
passage was before him and not behind him, and com-
plainant 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 produce 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 case settled at once, as he was
about to proceed to Ireland. He had come forward not
with a vindictive object, but entirely on public grounds,
as they (the public) ought to be protected from such vio-
lence. His new coat had been torn, but he did not mind
that. He wished the man to be admonished by the
rnnistrate.
The magistrate was not sure who was in the wrong,
therefore should adjourn the case until the following day
for the production of the witnesses.

cluding 5,8851. for cash balances, 15,9761. for rents, 3101.

BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND LEEDS.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the company's offices, Bradford ; Mr. W.
Firth in the chair.
The report, which was read by the secretary, stated
that the directors have made satisfactory progress in the
purchase of lands. The execution of the works base,
srice the last meeting, been let to a respectable con-
tractor, who is now actively employed in the construc-
tion of the line. The directors retain the same satisfac-

very fairly by the proprietors. Their progress had been
more rapid than usual, and few cases had occurred in
which it had been necessary to take legal measures for
a compulsory purchase of land. The time specified in
the contract for the completion of the works was
April, 1557, which corresponded with the time at
which the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Railway
Company would complete their Ardsloy branch, so
that the two railways would be opened simulta-
neously. They had concluded working agreements
with the Great Northern and Lancashire and Yorkshire,
which they believed would secure the satisfactory work-
ing of the traffic of their line. They had already called
up Si. per share, which, with what had been paid up,
would give them about 45,0001. They calculated upon
making two other calls of 21. 10g. each within the next
six or eight months, and their borrowing powers would
then come into operation to the extent of 60,0001. The
estimated cost of the line was 230,0001. The rails
would weigh 801 b. per yard, being 101 b. heavier than
those of the Leeds, Halifax, and Bradford line. A con-
siderable saving in the cost of maintaining the perma-
nent way would be the probable result.
The report was unanimously adopted.
A resolution was passed fixing the salary of the sec-
retary at 2001. per annum.
A. vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings,
