POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH STREET.—CHARGE OF FRAUD.
—William Chas. Atkins was brought up for re-examina-
tion, charged with obtaining from Mr. Charles Bentley,
fruiterer, 76, Tottenham-court-road, several sums of
money by false and fraudulent representations.
Mr. Herring appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Wontner for the defence.

The particulars of the previous examination have al-
ready appeared, and on the last occasion it will be re-
membered that prisoner was remanded in order that
evidence might be produced from Devizes, where the
defendant had alleged that he had large property. Mr.
Woolf, the superintendent of the Devizes police, was
now in attendance; and proved that there was no such
public-house or beer-shop called King Charles in the
Oak in or near Devizes, that no -person by the name of
Harris kept such a house, and that there was no such
person by the name of Dalton known there.
Mr. Herring applied for a further remand, in order to
have the attendance of the solicitor whom the prisoner
had stated knew about his affairs,

The prisoner was then remanded till Tuesday next.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Yesterday a commission
of lunacy was opened at the Maidenhead Tavern, King's-
cross, before Mr. Commissioner Barlow and a jury, to
inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Joseph Cole, aged
69, who had for many years carried on the profession of an
auctioneer, in
Seymour-street, Euston-square. In the
course of examination, it transpired that the subject of
the inquiry was under the delusion that he was in extreme
pProved that he was possessed of
besides other property. Another
hp27Maylleurtcliyna in
wtihotniihse funds,ut it wnderwhich he laboured was that the bells
of the various churches were continually sounding forth
the words " forgery, forgery !" as if accusing him of this
crime. After going
into a variety of evidence, the jury
came to the unanumous verdict--" That Joseph Cole was
of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his own
affairs ; and that he had been so since the 27th of April
last."

SINGULAR ACCIDENT oN T
-LJUDGATE-HILL.—On Mon-
day night, shortly
,before eight o'clock, an accident of
rather a singular
nature) and which was nearly attended
with fatal conseuences, happened,
whilst hundreds of
persons were passing to am
mSt. Paul's,
on Ludgate-
hill, near the entrance et' the Belle Sauvage Inn. It ap-
pears that one of 13eunett's Chelsea omnibuses was
proceeding up the hill, "'hen one of the horses, from the
crowded state of the thoroughfare, or from some other
cause, began to jib, and finally it backed the vehicle on
to the footpath, to the danger of killing the persons pas-
sing by at the time. n,
---“e conductor had just time to jump
off the rt
footboard, and thereby escape being crushed to
death ; but the hindermost part of the omnibus dashed
with terrific force through the plate-glass windows of Mr.
Fares, jeweller, No. 34, c,,, the hill,
scattering the valuable
articles of jewellery and
plate in all directions, and also
demolishing the woodvroxic
t under the windows. A body
of the City pollee came 1p as soon as possible, and were
instrumental in h—
% preventi much of the valuable property
from being carried away ; but previous to the arrival of
the officers some one makaged to steal from the person of
Mr. Fares a gold watch, worth 201., with which he got
clear off. One of the ram employed on the premises ran
after the vehicle, which 14c1 started off towards the Cathe-
dral, and ascertained the kame of the owner and the num-
ber, which was nob.
LORD DENMMAN.—This distinguished nobleman will
be absent from the ceremq,—
y of the interment of the late
Duke of Wellington. His Lordship, who is suffering
under debility, has been sojourning for some time past at
Neath, in Glamorganshin, and is not expected to return
to his town residence, in Portland-place, for some weeks
to come.

THE SUPPRESSION OF SETTING BILL.—The Govern-
ment may depend upox it that if they pass the measure
their work will not be done, Knowing that and believing
that, as we know they do, why can they not at once
effectually settle the matter by introducing a Bill, not for
the suppression of betting-houses—for that is impossible—
but to place them on a Proper footing, and give them a
legal standing? The evils that are now complained of
would then cease, and the Present outcry also. If this
were done we should not hate to deplore the spirit of
betting amongst boys, clerks, xnd persons of that descrip-
tion. The proposed bill will have the effect of extending
it amongst that very class, as bookmakers will be found
for every class.—Racing Times.
