POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Louisa Payne, carrying on the business of a butcher
at 75, Swa3 summoned under the City of
London Sewera' Act of 1851, for slaughtering sheep
in a cellar that was more than 18 inches below the
surface of the street, and unregistered, against the
statute.

The inspector of slaughter-houses for the City gave
evidence to the effect that on Friday, the 27th of
August last, he saw three slaughterei sheep in the
defendant's cellar, several ready for killing, and men
in the act of slaughtering others. The cellar was six
feet below the surface of the street.
Defendant said that she was merely conducting the
business for the creditors of her brother, who died
about 12 months ago, and had used the cellar as a
slaughtering•house without complaint for 20 years,
and that she had only continued the same thing in
total ignorance of acting illegally.
The inspector said there was a penalty for puWng
live sheep in a cellar.
Alderman Moos said, as this was the first case of
the kind under the new Act, he should like to have
the advice of a brother magistrate, and Sir Peter
Laurie accordingly wes sent for, when the defendant
was informed that she had incurred several penalties ;
but, as she had promised to discontinue the use of the
cellar, she would be leniently dealt with. Trie de-
fendant WM then fined 51., half the maximum penalty
for the principal offence ; but, on her circumstances
being represented to the magistrates, they mitigated
it to 21. 10s. and costs, which were immediately paid.

BOW-STREET.
William Clout and William Dowding were brought
before Mr. Henry for final examination on the charge
of stealing official forms and stationery from the War-
office. William C. Bussell and John Ladd appeared
on their recoguizances to answer the charge of having
knowingly received the stolen property.
Mr. Clerk, es counsel for the Crown, stated that
after a minute investigation into the circumstances of
the case, they had resolved to abandon the charge
against the alleged receivers; and be suggested that
they should be examined as witnesses to strengthen
the evidence against Clout and Dowding. As a state-
ment had been made by thelatte

Mr. Parry, counsel for Bussell, hoped it would go
forth that his client was entirely exonerated from any
imputation of criminality in these transactions,
although blameable to some extent, perhaps, for
having made such pi: chases without sufficient caution.
Mr. HENRY—That may he inferred, I presume,
from the course which the Crown has taken in with-
drawing the charges against Bussell and Ladd.

that
in the War-office as messenger and librarian, having
the entire charge of the books. He had known the
two prisoners, Clout and Dowding, for eight months
past, during which they had been employed in remov-
ing books and papers from one floor to another, owing
to a change of rooms. The bulk of the papers and
printed forms now produced had been kept in the
" form-room," and were part of the stock which
witness authorised the prisoners to remove from one
room to another. He never gave either of them
authority to sell any of it as waste paper. While
the alterations were going on witness gave Dowding
a number of printed pamphlets to sell for him as
waste paper, but they were upon a private subject,
and had nothing whatever to do with the War-
office. They have been in his (witness's) possession
about two years, having been originally given to him
by Mr. IV. Brown, a clerk in the accountant-depart-
ment. Before sending out those pamphlets, witness
took the precaution to show them to the chief mes-
senger, Mr. Griffin, in order to satisfy him that they
were not official papers. Dowding sold them for
7s. Gd., and witness gave him GI for his trouble.
Witness also asked Dowding to sell some old almanac
frames, which Mr. Griffin had given him. Formerly
it was usual for the Government stationer to supply
new frames with the almanacs every year. Two or
three years ago an order was given to have the new
almanacs pa3ted in the old frames, to save expense.
Last year it having been found that the pasting cost
as much as the new frames, a Treasury order was
given for the latter. The old frames were then given
to witness as perquisite', because he had had the
trouble of pasting the almanacs upon them ; and
these were the frames which he asked Dowding to
dispose of.
senior messenger
William John Griffin, and house-
keeper at the War-office, confirmed the statements of
Gell respecting the pamphlets, which were upon the
subject of the " Eton Question, end had nothing to
do with the office. Witness also proved that the
almanac-frames had been regarded as their perqui-
sites for 50 years, and longer, by tradition.
Mr. Clerk explained that the evidence in reference
to the old almanac-frames had been offered in conse-
quence of a statement made by one of the prisoners at
the first examination.
William C. Bussell, cheesemonger, 24,
York.street, Westminster, having been called by the Crown
as a witness, now deposed to having purchased about
4/. worth of the printed forms, militia Acts, pampb.
lets on the " Eton Question," Sm, as waste Paper, of
the prisoners Clout and Dowding, who brought
parcels to his shop, either separately or together'
about eight or ten times. Dowding generally tool,
the money for the paper. Some of the parcelsd were
afterwards opened and sorted by
Ladd L
ad , at wit-
ness's shop, and he authorised to sell several
quantities of it. nger in rile
John Ladd, formerly a cbeesemo coi,
stated that he had occasionally called to assist Mr.
Bussell, in a friendly way, in his shop, during the
absence of one of his men, and on these occasions he
sorted some of the paper, weighed it into parcels, and
disposed of some to different tradesmen whom he
knew, getting about 3d. a pound for it. (The pri-
soners received 2d. a pound for it.)
Mr. Strange, 14, Broadway, deposed to having
purchased a quantity of similar paper from Dowding ;
and Mr. Houeego, butcher, Mr. Mirley, and other
tradesmen, whohad purchased
of Ladd, gave evidence
of the facts.
Mr. Scott Robinson, of the War.office, identified
all the property produced, as well as some additional
quantities which had been found by Sergeant Prit-
cherd in a vault under the War-office, a key of which
was taken from the pocket of the prisoner Clout.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. HENRI sal--I wiil now take this opportunity

of stating that the messenger Gell has completely
exonerated himself from the charge made against him
by the two prisoners, Clout and Dowding. I come
to this conclusion from the evidence which he has
given, and from the fact that the solicitor who repre-
sented the prisoners to-day has not thought proper to
put a single question to him.
Mr. Lewis, the solicitor referred to, begged to state
that he abstained from doing so only upon the under-
standing that the case wes going for trial, and that
consequently, in his discretion, it would be better to
reserve the cross-examination for a jury.
Mr. HENRY—As the case stands b-Ifore me, I am
fully justified in making the observation respecting
Gell, and I repeat it.
The prisoners were then committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Arnold was engaged from between one and
two o'clock yesterday afternoon until long after the
ustuld hour of retiring in the evening in investigating
the complaints against M. and Madame Poitevin and
Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of Cremorno-gardens,
exhibited against them by Mr. "'norms, the secretary
to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.

There were i❑ all five summonses, three of which
charged M. and Madame Poitevin with "unlawfully
and cruelly ill• treating, abusing, and torturing" the
two horses on which balloon ascents were made on
the 231 and 26th ult., and the other two were against
Mr. Simpson, alleging that on each occasion " he did
unlawfully cause and procure a certain horse to be
cruelly ill-treated," &c.
Mr. Thomas conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Lewis attended for the deft,nce.

The court was crowded almost to suffocation by
persons anxious to hear the proceedings. The two
ponies alleged to have been so illtreated were brought
into the court by Mr. Simpson for the magistrate's
inspection, caparisoned as when they made the ascents.
They were pretty creatures, apparently in very good
health, and so extremely docile and willing to have
their bandages or slings applied that they playfully
lifted up their legs that the operation might be per-
formed with greater facility. They moreover ex-
hibited such attachment to Madame Poitevin as to
follow her about the yard and push their noses into
the pocket of her dress in search of some dainty in
store for them.
After some conversation as to the mode in which
the proceedings should he conducted in justice to all
parties, it was determined, that as precisely the same
features prevailed throughout both cases, and against
all accused, the question should be brought to issue
by going into the whole facts, and admitting the evi-
dence of the defendants for each other in the case
against Mr. Simpson.
Mr. Thomas having briefly opened the case,
The first witness called was Mr. Harry Daws, who
described himself as a veterinary surgeon, at 41,
Duke-street, Manchester-square. He went to Cre
morne-gardens at about half-past four o'clock on the
afternoon of the 23d ult. Curiosity took him there.
It was to witness the ascent of a horse, of which there
bad been an announcement. He saw M. Poitevin
ride a horse round the arena or hippodrome, and then
into the inner circle, where the horse was attached by
cords to the car.

Mr. Lewis here directed that the model of the bal-
loon and car, which had been prepared, should be pro-
duced for the magistrate's inspection.
Mr. Lewis—l have not only; the model, but the
originals here.
Mr. ARNOLD—Balloon and all, Mr. Lewis ?
(Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Not the balloon ; all else.
Witness explained that the pony was supported by
a portion of canvas under its abdomen, and a broad
strap passed up behind its shoulders.
Mr. ARNOLD—What would be the effect produced
by the animals being taken up in the way you de-
scribed ? Witness—Compression of the abdominal
viscera, congestion of the bloodvessels in the hinder
extremities, extravasation in the lining of the abdo-
men, producing internal bruises, and giving a great
deal of pain and suffering to the animal.
Mr. Antis:An—What would be the external ap-
pearances? Witness—Violent perspiration and
symptoms of great exhaustion from continued pain.
Mr. ARNOLD wished to know whether great per-
spiration of the pony would show nervous distress ?
—Witness replied in the affirmative.
Tne witness was subjected to a most rigid cross-
examination by Mr. Lewis, which occupied upwards
of an hour, in the course of which he said he had
been practising more thad 26 years as a veterinary
surgeon, but was nothing else. Did not go into the
gardens gratuitously as the friend of Mr. Simpson,
because he found the free list was suspended, and
he therefore paid for his admission. Had known a
horse go to rest on a sling for 14 years, but his
legs were not entirely taken off the ground. The
sling was used merely to assist his legs. Never
saw sound animals placed in slings for ease. Had
never experimentalized on horses. Had never
broken a leg to see whether he could set it again.
Was first called upon to be a witness on Thursday,
the 26th of August. Did not send to Mr. Thomas
to induce him to lay this complaint. Did not
know of any person going to lay the complaint.
Was on the free list at Cremorne-gardens. Applied
to sign the book, but found the free list was sus-
pended, and paid. (Marked sensation among the
auditory, which so increased that Mr. Arnold ssid,
that if the proceedings were interrupted he must have
the court cleared. The book was produced, to show
that witness had signed his name, but witness said it
was not placed there till after nine that evening.)
Would swear that he did not shake hands with Mr.
Simpson that evening. The horse went to the car
regularly and quietly. It did not exhibit any fear or
anxiety. It was not at all disturbed by the din of
music or noise around it. Did not perceive any
trembling or uneasiness about it. It struggled a little
when it got in the air, and witness should say it was
very uneasy, but could not tell how many seconds it
was so, because he did not time it. Remembered the
other pony of M. Poitevin's being ridden from
Hounslow on the 25th by Madame Poitevin. Had
no conversation with a Mr. Hunt about it. Had
some conversation with him, but did not remember
whether it was on the Monday or the Thursday. Did
not say that the pony was as fresh a 3 if it
had come by the railway from Hounslow,
where the balloon fell. Had not examined
the horses very carefully, but believed them to
be in good health. Thought if they were brought
to him as a veterinary surgeon, notwithstanding the
compression of the abdominal viscera and the conges-
tion of bloodvessels in the hinder extremities, and the
extravasation of the peritorerum, he should certify
that they were in good health. The compression and
congestion of the bloodvessels would injure only for a
time ; as soon as the cause was removed they would
resume their pristine form. He did not know that
the natural instinct of an animal prevented its going
willingly to any place where it was illused, or where
it was in dread.
Mr. ARNOLD inquired whether M. Poitevin's ponies
were blinded to make the ascents? Witness replied
in the negative. He admitted that he spent the Sun-
day evening after the ascent with Mr. Simpson as a
friend ; and that at that time he was watching the
proceedings connected with the ballooning on the
part of the society. A Mr. Smith had come to him on
Thursday before to tell him to do so. He was watch-
ing on the 26th, and met Mr. Simpson in the grounds
and thought he shook hands with him. On the score
of humanity witness did not know whether he should
take anything from the Animals Friend Society for
his trouble. Had not been told he should be paid fur
his trouble, but knew he should, if he pleased.
Police-sergeant Underhill, 6 V, deposed to being
present at the 6 descent of the balloon at Wimbledon-
park, and was about to proceed, when—
dr. Lewis wished to know whether the magis-
trate's jurisdiction travelled with the balloon, as they
were suddenly transported to Wimbledon. For the
sake of argument a horse or human being might he
very well when they started from Cremorne, but
under ordinary circumstances might be unwell before
they got so far.
Mr. AuNOLD thought the person who took the
animal up with the balloon would be liable.
Sergeant Underhill continued—He was about 250
yards off when the balloon descended, and first saw
it swinging to and fro with ten or a do zen persons
round it, who had come to assist the aeronaut. He
saw two men run up and lay hold of the horse's head.
Witness passed his hand over the horse, and it felt
very hot. The perspiration was dripping down its
shoulders, but the horse stood perfectly quiet. His
eyes appeared wild, and like a horse that had run away.
In cross-examination witness admitted that he had
not had much to do with horses. M. Poitevin's pony
was not so warm as he had seen many horses. Had
seen them going up Holborn-hill considerably more
heated. Witness made no report of cruelty on this
case to the commissioners, nor could he say that any
act of cruelty had been practised on it.
Sergeant Daley, 33 V, gave confirmatory testi-
mony in some respects, but he was not up until a few
minutes after his brother constable.
The case for the prosecution being closed,
Mr. Lewis addressed the Bench at very consider-
able length, and with his usual ability. He stated
that, whatever the result of this inquiry might be, it
was not Mr. Simpson's intention that this exhibition
should be repeated, and, had he received the slightest
intimation from the Bench that it was for a moment
objected to, it would not have been continued ; but,
notwithstanding his future intention, he felt it a
duty to himself, and to those who were with him
in this transaction, to court the fullest investigation,
and to receive the magistrate's opinion upon his
conduct.
M. Poitevin was then called, and, having been
cautioned by the Magistrate that by the law of this
country he was liable to three months' imprisonment
if convicted upon this charge, and need not answer
any question that might criminate himself, said he
had had one horse three years and the other four
Of five. One 120 gone In? 100, the othu 150 time°,

He hadlmade altogether between 540 and 550 ascents.
The horse started quietly on the 23rd ult., merely
moving its legs once or twice, as living animals
would do. When it came down it always fed
heartily. The horse was fed when suspended for
trial by the authorities at Paris between 15 and 20
hours. In his opinion it did not suff,r any pain by
the ascents. \Vitness had communicated to Mr.
Simpson that he had had the permission of foreign
powers to ascend, and that the proprietor of another
establishment in London had written him word the
Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty had given
their sanction.

Mr. Thomas denied that any permission had been
given by them. .

- M. Poitevin said he did not take any whip up with
the horse, or illtreat it in any way, and it did not
appear in any pain when it descended.
Mr. Thomas wanted to know whether on one oc-
casion a horse of his did not bleed at the nostrils after
an ascent ?—M. Poitevin said it did slightly, but was
uninjured, and ate directly afterwards; but this was
owing to the altitude of the balloon.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr. AUNOLD M.
Poitevin said it depended upon the rapidity of the
descent as to the heat or coolness of the body.
_ . . .

Madame Poitevin confirmed her husbands account
in every particular. _ .

A number of other witnesses were called for the
defence, including veterinary surgeons, whose evi-
dence went to show that slinging for a period of years
was a common practice with horses, and attended with
beneficial results. The general testimony, in other
respects, vv•ls highly exculpatory of the defendants.
Mr. ARNOLD said he should reserve his decision in
this case sine die, but would communicate with the
parties when he had gone through the voluminous
evidence before him. Although the evidence had
gone to show physical pain o❑ the one side, and to re-
but it on the other, another question arose to which
Mr. Lewis, he thought, might have addressed him-
self,—viz., whether it was not cruel to put any animal
iu a position of danger without its having the means
of helping itself ?
The decision stands adjourned sine die.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday John Talfourd, an old man about 70
years of age, of most extraordinary appearance, hav-
ing long white silvery hair hanging down his neck;
white mustachios, and an ample beard of the same
colour, and who was stated by one of the solicitors in
court to have sat for a number of years as a subject
to crayon draughtsmen, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Tyrwhitt upon the following charge of
stabbing :
Joseph Harvey, a hairdresser, whose right hand
and arm were slung in a kerchief, and enveloped in
hospital splints, stated—Yesterday afternoon, between
4 and 5 o'clock, I called at a lodging-house in
George-yard, Whitechapel, to visit a friend of mine
who lived there, and finding, upon inquiry, that he
was out, took a seat by the fireplace to wait for his re-
turn. On an opposite bench I saw a man lying at
full length, and fast asleep, and on looking at him re-
cognized him as the prisoner, whom I recollected to
have seen before in the streets. I sat waiting for
about five minutes, when the prisoner woke up,
stared across at me, and, uttering a most disgusting
expression, demanded what brought me there. I ex-
plained what I had called for—to see one of the
lodgers, and he ordered me out. I said I should not go
till I thought proper, upon which the prisoner imme-
diately jumped up, and, walking across the room to a
side-table or settle where the knives appeared to be
kept, snatched up a tableknife, the edge of which he
felt with his finger to see if it was sharp. I did not
suppose he was going to use it, and, therefore did not
feel uneasy at his conduct; hut, upon seeing the pri-
soner fling down that knife, and take up another,
which he examined in a similar manner, I then be-
came so, and was thinking of going, when the pri-
soner hastened up to me with the knife in his hand,
and, exclaiming, "Now, I'll see if you won't go,"
thrust the blade so close to the bridge of nay nose that
I felt the point of it touch my skin. He then rapidly
drew the knife back a second time, and made a despe-
rate plunge with it at my face, but I saw the blade
coming down, and, jerking my bead on one side,
thrust out my arm to keep it off, and succeeded in
saving my face, but the knife came down with such
force that the point of it entered my hand deeply,
just inside the thumb, where it inflicted such a
wound that the blood poured out in a stream, and I
lost a great deal. I jumped up immediately to
prevent his repeating the blow, and struck at
him with my left hand to keep him away
from me while I got out, but before I could
do so Sergeant Price, who is appointed to inspect
lodging-houses, fortunately came in, and on my call-
ing to him to protect me ho seizsd the prisoner, who
was peifectiy sober, and after a struggle wrenched
the knife out of his hand and took him in charge.
My hand still kept on bleeding, and I therefore went
to the London Hospital to have it dressed. (The
witness handed in a certificate from Mr. Ridley
Porter, the honse•surgeon, describing the wound as
an incised one, opening into the joint of the thumb,
and stating that the prosecutor was in danger
from it.)
When called upon for his answer to the charge,
the prisoner made a jumbling sort of defence, the pur-
port of which appeared to be that while lodging at
that house about three weeks before some one had
robbed him of one of his shirts, and having, upon
making inquiry, had a description given him of the
thief, which corresponded with the prosecutor's ap-
pearance, he ordered him out of the place as soon
as he saw him, and took up the knife to terrify him,
but had no intention to use it in the manner alleged
against him.
Mr. TYRIVIIITT said that it was a very serious
case, and ordered the prisoner to be committed until
that day week for the completion of the evidence,
and that the result of the injuries the prosecutor had
received might be ascertain, d.

THE SHEFFIELD MURDER.
SIIEFFIELD, TUESDAY.—Yesterday we gave the
particulars of the finding of the dead body of a man,
shockingly mutilated, in a hedge bottom, about a mile
and a half from Sheffield, The medical examination
shows, beyond all doubt, that the man has been mur-
dered. That examination was made on Sunday by
Mr. Roper and Mr. H. Payne, surgeons. At the
back of the head was found a shot-wound,
about an inch in diameter, and penetrating
two inches into the brain, where were lodged
fragments of the skull and a quantity of No.
4 shot. There was another shot. wound behind the
right ear. The shot in this wound had passed under
the base of the skull, and lodged in the bones of the
nose, fracturing the temporal bones, the floor of the
orbit of the right eye, end shattering the internal
structure of the upper jawbone. The destructive
weapon, probably a small pistol, must have been held
close to the head of the murdered man, for the flesh
around the wound under the ear was discoloured with
the exploded gunpowder. It should be remarked,
too, that the shot found in the brain from the wound
behind the head had not spread, as would have been
the case if fired from a distance, but lay in a space
little larger than the orifice of the wound. There
were also three incised wounds on the right side of
the face, one extending from the lower lip round the
chin, in a semi-circular direction to the outer coat of
the eye ; the others were of less extent. The lower
jaw was fractured at the angle and at its centre (the
chin); the upper jaw was also broken near its
centre.

It was late on Saturday evening when the body
was identified as that of Mr. Alexander Robinson, of
Doncaster. Ills friends were communicated with im-
mediately, and on Saturday his late employer, Mr.
David Barber, draper, Doncaster, arrived at Sheffield.
From information obtained from him it was clear
that Robinson had been robbed of money, a silver
lever watch, and his pack of drapery wares. From
the active inquiries set on foot by the police, Robin-
son was traced to have dined at Gray's eating-house,
in Watson's-walk, Sheffield, in company with a
young man named James Barber, and two other
young Scotch travelling drapers. After dinner Ro-
binson and Barber adjourned to Naylor's public-
house, adjoining where Robinson was in the habit of
staying. There they had something to drink, and
Barber was heard to say that he would introduce Ro-
binson to some good customers near Gleadless, a vil-
lage about five miles from Sheffield. Robinson then
made up his pack, and he and Barber left the house to-
gether, about 2 o'clock. As yet there is no evidence of
Robinson having been seen alive after that time. About
5 o'clock Barber, it is found, entered the Royal Standard
public-house, Leadmill.road, apparently in great haste.

and at his (Barber's) urgent request, a cab V:113 sent

man, named George
Mi Cormack, who was traced to
having been in

company, was next appre-
hended. He was identified as the person who had
pawned the watch ; and he at coce admitted it, stating
teat he received it from Barber at the Reindeer Inn
on Saturday night, and gave to him the money for
which it was pawned.
From the facts brought to light, it is clear that the
murder was committed between the time of Barber
and the deceased's leaving Naylor's pablie house on
Thursday afternoon, at two o'clock, and the arrival of
Barber, with the pack of the murdered man, at the
Royal Standard. In addition to the other evidence
upon this point, is the fact that in the stomach Of the
murdered man was found his undigested dinner.
The field in which the body was found is situated
at a considerable distance from any house or public;
footpath. It lies in the direction of Geadless, the
place named by Barber as the locality in which the
customers reside of whcm he had spoken to Robinson.
The motive, beyond that of robbery, for tbii din-
The
murder is involved in mystery. Barber and
Robinson had both served a term of years under
Barber's uncle, Mr. David Barber, of Doncaster.
About two months ago Barber was discarded by kil
uncle, in consequence of embezzlement. Previously
the uncle had given 91. for a silver lever watch as
ta
present for the prisoner Barber. His misconduc,
however, lost him his uncle's favour, and the vvetnn
o Robin:
was given to Robinson. About six weeks ag
