THE MURDER OF MR, BRIGGS.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-THIS DAY.

This morning, at ten o'clock. the jury empanelled to
inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of
Mr Thomas Briggs, who is alleged to have been murdered
by Franz Muller on the North London Railway, re-assem•
bled at the Town Hall, Hackney.
Mr Humphreys, the coroner, told the jury he need not
detain them more than a moment or two. Certain wit-
nesses whom ho should consider it necessary to examine
were at present on their way home from America, and were
expected to arrive early next week. He should therefore
suggest that the further consideration of the case should be
adjourned until the morning of Monday, the 19Lh inst.
The proposal was at once assented to by the jury, and
the court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MAILLBOIWUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY Or JEWELLElLY.—Fredcricki Skinner, porter,
in the employ of Mr James Meade, of No. 22, Davies-
street, T3erkeliy-square, was charged with stealing same
rings, brooches, and other articles of the value of 430, the
property of his employer.

Mrs Meade said that on going to a safe kept in a back
room on the first floor, she missed a quantity of jewellery
and two silver snuff boxes. Her husband had been lying
dangerously ill at an hotel, and always kept his keys, in-
cluding that of the safe, under his pillow. The prisoner
was in the habit of going backwards and forwards, and it
was by that means she believed the prisoner had got access
to the safe, it evidently having been opened with a key, and
there being no marks of violence about it.

The prisoner said he would rather say what he had to say
when he came up again.

A smartl3 -dressed young woman said the prisoner gave
her a brooch and pin, stating that he had bought them.
Mrs Meade identified the articles as her husband's
property.

Shore, an officer from Scotland-yard, said that he had
discovered a ring to have been pledged at Westminster,
which Mrs Meade had also identified.

The young woman said the prisoner also rave her a
ring, but as he asked her for it back, and, as she thought
ho was going to give it to another young woman, she
pledged it.

Shore asked for a remand, which was granted.

THAMES.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A MARRIED WOMAN,

Mary Alexander, a married woman, was charged before
Mr Partridge with the following disgraceful conduct in
Heath-street, Stepney :

It appeared that the prisoner, who lived at 98, Heath-
street, with her husband, came home last night about 7
o'clock, She was in a dog cart, and as she came down the
street she waived a handkerchief the whole distance.
When she got near her own house she got out of the
vehicle and raised her crinoline in a very improper manner.
Sho then danced round the cart, and collected a crowd of
nearly 200 persons. She then picked up some granite stones
which she flung among the crowd,

Police constable 119 K was then obliged to take the'pri.
saner into custody.

Several of the neighbours came forward who stated that
the prisoner was often in the same way, and of causing a
disturbance in the street.

Inspector Hays said that a few weeks ago the prisoner
was sent by Mr Paget for a month to the House of Correc-
tion for a similar offence.

The prisoner was find 405., or in default, ono month's
mprisonment.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Thero.was a fair average supply of beasts on sale here

to-day, but the general quality of the stock was inferior.
All breeds of beasts moved off slowly, at Monday's currency.
The few Scots on show realised fully 5s per 81bs. Sheep—

the number of which was seasonably good—were a dun
inquiry, on former terms. The best Downs produced 5s 4d
per Blbs. We were well supplied with calves, which com-
manded less attention. Prices, however, were supported.
The top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. Prime small pigs were
quite as dear as last week, In large hogs very little was
doing. 111ilch cows wore a dull inquiry.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

WARWICK SEPTEMBER MEETING.
Not a transaction worth recording took place yesterday.
Favourites and non-favourites remained in stain quo, and
there was nothing to indicate:thst the decision for the great
Northern event was now only a question of hours. Never
do we remember such apathy in the market.
A very fine race for the Welter Cup between Principal
and Moulsey resulted in favour of the non-favourite Moul-
sey, Principal starting with odds on him, but failing in the
last few strides, and being defeated by a head. The Clown
walked away from the once dreaeed Paris in the Five Soy.
Sweepstakes in the hollowest of styles, and the Nursery
Handicap was productive of one of those tedious delays at
the post that seem to be accepted for the normal state of
things, as the phrase goes, in races of this description. The
favourite, Verdant, a very good.looking colt of Mr Hodg-
man's, was bowled over by ;Jetty, an outsider of Mr
Payne's, who won very easily.
G enama, looking in the perfection of bloom and condition,
carried off the County Handicap easily, though damaging
her chance in the last few strides by an attempt to " savage"
her antagonist Snaps tone. At last Lord StNincent has been
smiled upon by fortune and tillowed to win something.
East Lancashire disposed of his email field for the Cup very
easily, winning by eight lengtha which might easily have
been made 18. The prize is a handsome group in oxydised
silver, commemorating an histcrical incident in the War-
wickshire family of the Shuckbarghs.
The other events call for no particular comment.
The rain did not seem to hoe much effect on the attend-
ance, which was fully equal to that of the day before.'
Lord St. Vincent has purchased Claxton, it is said, for
1,200 guineas.

by a head. Overstone was pulled up half-way within the
distance and walked home.

who repeatedly broke away, when the flag was lowered

away in advance, and made the nursling, followed by Hetty
and Jevington, Camillus and Sprint Gun lying upwards of
20 lengths in their rear. On reaching the half-mile post

length for second ; Verdant was fourth, close up, Edin-
burgh fifth, Vigilant sixth, Jevington, and Doeford next.
