A VERY AWKWARD AFFAIR.—Ed ward James Butler, a
man in the employment of Mr. Hatt, cow keeper and dairy-
man, of 15, Brewer-street, Pimlico, was charged with
stealing a gallon of milk, and John Cole, coffeehouse
keeper, Upper Eaton-street, Pimlico, was charged with
feloniously receiving it. _ _ _

Sergeant Parkins, 8 B, said that the prosecutor had been
to the court but had gone away. The police, however, were
acquainted wi.h the details of the case.

Mr. Selfe said he w. uld hear them.

Sergeant Parkins said that from information received he
spoke to Mr. Haq, and found that there was something
going on wrong. At a quarter to 5 o'clock this morning
Butler came out of Hatt's yard with a halt gallon measure
of milk in his hand, and proceeded to Cola's coffee hop,
where he went into the private bar part, and Cole took
the milk of him and placed it on a shelf, and then
went into a private parlour, from whence ho
returned in two or three minutes mad passed some-
thing to Butler. The latter, after placing his hand
under his smock, put down a halt-gallon bottle of warm
milk at Cole's feet. Mr. Cole then said to witness, who had
followed Butler into the shop, " What are you going to
have," when witness said he should take Butler for stealing
and Cole for receiving the milk. Neither of them made any
reply. Hatt came to the station and signed the sheet
against the prisoners.
Butler said that he merely took some milk to Mr. Cole.
which had been ordered, and knew nothing about stealing
it.
Cole said he had dealt with 11Ir. Hatt for many years, and
had four quarts of milk in the morning and six in the after-
noon. Whenever he was becoming short of milk, some of
his people ran to Mr. Hatt's and ordered it, and that was
the case this morning, To show that nothing could have
been passed by him to the other prisoner, only twopence was
found upon the latter.

Mr. Selfe said, that for the interest of justice, as well as
for prisoners' own sakes, he would have Mr. Hatt in at-
tendance, and would grant a summons for his attendance
forthwith. He would not restrain the liberty of the ac-
cused in the meantime, who were free, but he would re-
commend them not to leave the court v.util the matter was
determined.

A PUBLICAN FINED FOR UNGAIVFUL SUNDAY
TRADING.—HEAVY PENALTY.--Mrs. Maearthy, the wife
of Dennis Maearthy, landlord of the Rose and Crown pub-

lichouse, in Star-street, Lower Shadwell, appeared to
answer a summons taken out against her husband by
Police-inspector Roberts. The defendant, who was for-
merly a sergeant of police, was charged with having his
house open for other purposes than the reception of travel-
lers on Sunday last beforo the hour of one o'clock In the
afternoon.

Tildothy Cox, a police-sergeant,
No. 45 K, stated that at
8 o'clock on Sunday morning last, he saw many drunken
men in the vicinity of Star-street and Wapping-wall, near
the defendant's house. He went to the Rose and Crown.
There were men in the street outside intoxicated, Oa
entering the public-house he found sixteen men in front of
the bar. Some of them were drunk. The landlord was
also there intoxicated. There were ten quart pots all con-
taining malt liquor, and two glasses on the bar counter in
front of the company. One man threw down his pot, which
contained beer. In answer to the magistrate, the witness
said that nine or ten of the men were drunk.
Mrs. Macarthy said her husband was not inebriated. He
was very nervous and very ill, and he was so ill that he
could not attend to anawor the summons against him.
James Fry, a police-constable, 411 K, confirmed the
statement of Cox, and said Dennis Ma, arthy, the landlord,
was the worse for liquor.

Mrs. Macarthy said the people who entered the house on
Sunday morning came from a fire close by, and when the
door was opened for one man they all rushed in together.
Cox said there was a fire in Shadwell on. Sunday morning
a half mile from the defendant's house, and in quite another
direction.

A former conviction of ss. and costs for a similar offence
was proied.
Mrs. Macarthy called her son, Charles Grinham, by har
first husband, and he admitted that he opened the door and
let in the 16 men.
The magistrate said there had been an impudent viola-

tion of the law, and drunkenness encouraged on a Sunday
morning. It was a bad case, and must be visited with
severity. Ile fined the defendant 15 and costs.
Mrs. Macarthy paid the money.

RSONS.—Abandon
the boil-fowl fashion, and order a pair of fowls to be sent
without being trussed, and let the 'bads and necks be sent
with them. Cat up one of the fowls into pieces, the leg and
thigh into two Pieces, each wing into two pieces, the back
into three pieces, and the breast ieto two pieces, which,
with the merry thought, will be 14 pieces. Take a Spanish
onion, cut it up small, put it into a swpan with two ounces
for about an hour, until it is in a .!omplete pulp ; half an
of butter, and a little cayenne and salt; let it stew gently
hour before you want it put in the l 4 pieces of chicken, let
them stew half an hour, and vital done, put into your
silver dish a teaspoonful of Spapis/ or French garlic vine-
gar, or if that is not liked, the squeEn of half a lemon, and
you will never again want to taste insipid boiled fowl.
Mind, it requires na water; the fowlwill be clone in its own
wavy.—The Gentlewoman,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BETTING AT MANCHES VER—TuEsDAY.

Speculation this day at our Subscription Rooms assumed
an active aspect. Gardener, Wingrave, Costa, Gibraltar,
and Blondin were each in force for the Northamptonshire
Stakes, particularly Wingrave, Gibraltar, and Blondin,
who were freely backed. Blithfield remained friendless,
and Lioness received her quietus, offers of 100 to 1 eliciting
no response from backers. A few investments were made
on Flying Fish, Soaptone, Biondella, Zora, and Aurora
for Earl Spencer's Plate, but the transactions were to
nominal a3counts only. For the City and Suburban,
Veterinarian closed a better favourite than Liston, 100 to
7 being accepted about the former, while 15 to 1 was
offered against " the comedian." The business done in
connection with tha Chester Cup was of an insignificant
character, sGreenland and Oldminster being the only horse
backed, although 25 to 1 would have been taken about
Accident. Sixteen " ponies" were wanted against Copen-
hagen for the Two Thousand Guineas; and, after X2OO had
been put on Blair Athol for the Derby at 20 to 1, a clever
operator laid 1,000 to 45 three times against Mr. I'Anson's
colt. Closing prices :

Election of an Alderman.

A wardmote of the inhabitants of the ward of
Bassishaw was held yesterday afternoon in the ves-
try room of the parish of St. Michael, Bassishaw,
" for the election of a fit and able person to be Alder-
man of the said ward, in the room and stead of
Edward Conder, Esq., who held such office of Alder-
man, but who has resigned the same."
The proceedings having been duly opened by the
Lord Mayor,

Mr. G. KENDALL proposed Divid H. Stone, Esq.,
to be the alderman of the ward. He said he bad
great pleasure in doing so, for that gentleman was
one of themselves, being a freeholder of property in
the ward, and 'besides being a man of wealth, and
having plenty of time to discharge the important
duties of the office, he also possessed considerable
talent, and was in every way qualified for the office.
(Cheers.) _ _ _

Mr. DREW WOOD seconded the nomination.

There being no other nomination, the name of
Mr. Stone was put to the meeting, and he was de-
clared to ba duly elected.
Mr. STONE briefly returned thanks.
Upon the motion of Deputy FULLER, a unani-
mous resolution of thanks was accorded to the late
alderman (who retired in consequence of ill health),
and afterwards a complimentary vote of thanks was
passed to the Lord Mayor for presiding, and the
meeting separated.
