POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
THAMES.
A. gentleman named Stock well came before Mr.
Ingham and stated that, being desirous of sending his
son out to Sydney, he agreed with Messrs. Marshall
and Edridge, shipbrokers in the City, to pay them
201. for a berth in the ship General Hewitt, and they
stipulated to provide his son with a place in which
only two were to sleep, but,. on visiting the ship, he
discovered that in the berth appropriated to his son
five others were to sleep. The berth was badly ven-
tilated, and he would not allow him to go out in the
ship. He waited on Messrs. Marshall and Edridge
and asked them to return 101. which he had paid as
a deposit, or to provide his son with a properly ven-
tilated berth, in which only two were to sleep, ac-
cording to their promise, but they refused to, do
engaging
either, and be was under the necessity of
passage in another ship for his son, who was now a
on
his way to Sydney. Under those circumstances he
wished to obtain a summons against the
obrokers for
n
them to show cause why they should
com-
pelled to refund the 101. which he had aidtep them.
Mr. INGHAM asked the applicant if h e bad brought
the usual contract paper with him Mr.
said, the contract was a verbal one, and
put in a re-
ceipt for the 101. he had paid, and which receipt ex-
pressed that it was in part payment of 201. for a pas-
sage in the General Hewitt.
Mr. INGHAM thought the applicant's son ought to
have applied, and, if he bad done so, the law would
have been put in motion at once.
Mr. Stockwell said he was noxious for his son to
arrive at Sydney at a certain time, end he could not
have remained in England without disturbing many
important arrangements. He ought to state that he
had received a letter from the agents, offering to pro
vide his son with a berth in which only one other
person was to sleep, as originally agreed upon, but it
was then too late. He had' sent out his son with an-
other captain before he received the letter. The Ge-
neral Hewitt sailed two days ago, three weeks after
the time originally agreed upon.
Mr. INGHAM—DId you tender the remainder of
the passage-inuney to the brokers ? Mr. Stock well--
I did not, Sir.
Mr. IcenaM, after reading over several Clauses of
the Passenger Act, said he did not think any of
them applied to this case, and he must refer the gen-
tleman to the County Court, where he would no
doubt obtain redress far the breach of contract. His
opinion was that the money ought to be returned,
but, under all the circumstances of the case, he did
not think be had
jurisdiction, and must decline grant-
ing the summons.
Mr. Stock well—l asked fur a portion only of the 101.
Mr. 'AGRAex.—I think
you are entitled to the

----
owhole. F you bring an action it must be for la,
n the
ground that the agents of the ship have refused
to pereirm their contrect.
Mr. StoelewEll ther.ked the megistrate and retired.

Matthew Hayes, a pewerful and determined. looking
elrishman, employed as a journeymen plasterer in
wicgton.causeWay, was brought b
C.Noefore Mr.
mbe for examination, charged with causing the
death of John Evans, aged 54, hy wilfully kicking
him in the abdomen.
1 Sergeant Gardner, of the M division, informed his
Vorship that an inquest was concluded before Mr.
Payne, the coroner, on the previous" evening, whe
to n
the jury returned a verdict of Manslaugh"
evilest the prisoner.
Mr. COMBS said that he must hear something of
Ithe evidence, as the prisoner was before him; there-
fore the constable must produce the evitnessee.
George Humphries, potman at the Alfred's Head,
Newington-causeway, stated, that about 9 o'clock on
Saturday night, the 7th iner., he saw the prisoner and
m
another an fighting in the public-ho nee. EVAOP,
the deceased, was standing close by, looleiug on.
Witness and the prisoner's wife pulled prisoner out
of the houee, and endeavoured to get him away;
but he broke away from them, rushed into the house,
and i ecomaienced the fighting. Ile shortly afterwards
heard that deceased had been kicked by
he did not see who did it.
Mr. COMBE—Did you see deceased interfere with
some one, but
the fight ? Witness—l did not. Ile was not near
the persons, so far as I could see.
Mr. Comue—Dlcl you see anything pass between
the prisoner and deceased which might have caused
his death ? Witness—No, I did not.
The barmaid at the Alfred's Head was
mined. She said she saw the prisoner and another
man fighting. She Also saw the deceased in the house
on the night in question, but she did not see any
thing
next exile
occur to him.
Mr. COMBS observed that, according to thee vidence e
'0"
of the witnesses, there was no pretext for hari.ng
the prisoner with causing the man's death. li
quired whether there were other witnesses before the
coroner.
Sergeant Gardner replied that there were several
others.
Mr. COMBE—Can any one prove that the deceased
was struck or kicked by any one?
The son of the deceased came for rd, and said be
wa
was with him at the time, but he did not see WO
injured. He led his father from the house, when be
told him that he had been kicked on the abdomen bir
'e 55'
one of the two men who bad been fighting. Wb;!:
he got a little way he exclaimed, " For Gown, an ed,l
let me lie down and die !" He then fell d,.
was afterwards conveyed to the hospital, where Lie
died on the Wednesday foing.
Mr. COMBE—Did he tell yllowou which of the men
injured him ? Witness—No, he did not, Sir; be was
suffering too much. e
Robert Skimes, a labourer, said he Was in the b°use
when the fight was going on, and the prieoner kicked
at him, but missed him. He must have kicked th
deceased.
Mr. CoMBE--Did you see him kick the deceased
?
Witness—l did not see deceased at all.

Mr. COMBE, after hearing other witne Le
gave similar testimony, said he was surprised aw
coroner's jury returning a verdict of manslaugbier
v_
such a case. There was no more evidence to ef.°_.,'
that the prisoner inflicted the injury on deceased tne"
that he did himself.
Mr. Roberts, who attended on behalf of the Prasi.

Mr. COMBS told him that he could do nothlng a

Mr. Roberts said he was aware that bie ev

could not take bail, but he should apply to a ju:igeiar
Mr. CoatßE said there would be no necessity

that. The prisoner could be immediately convel!

The prisoner was then discharged IT the 3.l.gewiS:
