POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY

MARLBOROUGH—STREE r. A LUNATIC.
William Lancashire, a miserable looking man, was placed
at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—
Murrel, 80 C, stated that this morning about ono
o'clock his attention was called to a mob of people who
bad assembled in Coventry-street, and on going to see
what was the matter, he saw the prisoner lying on the
pavement, apparently in a state of great suffering. At
the suggestion of two gentlemen, one of whom was a
surgeon, witness and another constable conveyed him to
a surgeon's, who recommended his removal to the hospi-
tal. Witness accordingly procured the stretcher from
the station-house, and as soon as he had placed prisoner
on it, the latter jumped up and said, "I'm all right now,
let me go," Believing him to have assumed illness for
the purpose of imposing on the constable, he (witness)
took him to the station.
The prisoner's wife, who was in attendance, informed
the magistrate that her husband bad been an inmate of a
lunatic asylum, from which he had recently been dis-
charged,
On hearing this, Mr. Bingham discharged the man
and handed him over to the care of his wife.

OMNIBUS SALE.—Yesterday the sale of the entire
stock of the London Conveyance Company commenced, on
their premises, St. Alban's-place, Paddington. Mr. Gower,
of the firm of Rymill and Gower, of the Repository, Barbi-
can, presided as knight of the hammer. It is expected that
the sale will occupy the whole of the week. The stock
comprises 508 horses, 65 omnibusses, and an immense quan-
tity of harness, &c. The stoppage of the London Conveyance
Company has thrown out of employ drivers, conductors, and
horsekeepere, to the number of several hundreds.
COMMON LAW REFORMS.-0° Monday next, an
important act, passed in the last session (15th and 16th Vic-
toria, chap. 73), to abolish certain offices and fees in the
common law courts, will come into force. By this Act the
office of Marshal iu the common law courts in London is
abolished, and the duties are to be performed by the asso-
ciates, who, in future are to be appointed by the chiefs of
the three courts. The office of marshal is to be continued
en circuit, and to be paid by salary instead of fees. Clerks
are to be appointed, and the present officers are to hold office
during good behaviour. The fees charged at the Judges'
chambers are to undergo revision; they have yielded large
amounts to the clerks, whose incomes were solely derived
from the same. The clerks are to be paid by salary. Fur-
ther, it is provided by the Act that the fee of 6s. Bd. paid on
circuit is to be abolished, and also all the fees to the mar-
shals' men, the Judges' bailiff, and to any servant attending
the circuit. The duties of each office are to be performed in
person. The accounts under this Act are to be laid before
Parliament.
NEWMARKET HEATII.—And yet there is a kind of
republican spirit that seems to animate the gatherings upon
Newmarket heath. The nob and the snob, each on a cob,
hob-nob it together pleasantly.
