HORSE
of Cast.--William Griffin, in the
employ
Fry, carrier, of Rickmansworth,
e;thu. Ei
J.Toyse.-0.13
Herts, was char-Kod by Mr. William Love, chief officer of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
with 'le following cruelty to a horse :
Dir. Love watched the case on the part of the society, the
owner of the horse (Fry) having been 'oefore convicted
cruelty.

Tho evidence of S;...naeon Sell, one of the officers of the
Royal Society, went to sho:w that on Saturday evening he
saw Griffin with two !orses attached to a carrier's van in
Oxford-street, nP.,ar the Oxford Music Hall, and noticing
that or4e of tko horses could scarcely put its foot to the
ground P'.ird appeared to be suffering a great deal, he
exatnialul it, and found that it had a contraction of the foot
ar.id fetlock joint, and was also lame in the shoulder. The
van which Griffin was in charge of, and which the poor
crippled animal was forced to assist in drawing, was heavily
laden with sacks of potatoes, casks of soda, &c., and was on
its way to Riekmansworth, Herts.

Mr. Mansfield said he thought the better way to deal
with the case would be to summon the owner of the horse.
Mr. Love said he was present in court.
Mr. Mansfield, who had seen the horse, asked Fry
whether he was willing to have the horse killed ?
Fry said he was not.

Mr. Mansfield—Then the deiendant will enter into his
own recognisance to appear on Saturday, and in the mean-
time a summons shall issue against the owner.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY DECISION.—PLAYING AT SOLDIERS.
—John Maynard Fry, a respectable-looking rnan, was
charged with unlawfully possessing part of a. soldier's
clothing.

Police-constable 352 B said—At half-past 11 last night I
saw the prisoner in Tothill- street, Westminster. He was
wearing a soldier's tunic, belt, and cap. As he had
on his own trousers, which were not uniform, I saw that he
was no so dier, and a corporal coming hy, he was taken to
Wellington Barracks. Prisoner said he had enlisted, and
the man who had given bim the enlistment shilling also
gave him the soldier's clothes. He said he had exchangad
clothes with the soldier. He was drunk. He was after-
wards taken to Pn,,tman-street Barracks, where the ser-
geant gave him '..nto custody for unlawfully possessing the
clothing of ttre soldier.

Froderici& William Chapman, sergeant of the Coldstream
Guards—The clothes produced belong to Edward Garner,
one of our men, now in custody here for desertion. He has
been absent without leave for six days. Ido not think this
man is so much to blame as my man. Defendant now
before you was very much under the influence of liquor,
and he may have been induced to think while in that state
that he was enlisted and entitled to wear the clothes.
Mr. Dayman—lt was certainly a weak trick, because the
trousers would draw attention, and show that the man was
not a soldier.

Sergeant Chapman—I believe my man would have got
the clothes off any one to effect one of the objects he had in
view—either to prolong his absence or desert.
Mr. Dayman to defendant—What have you to say to the
charge ? You are liable to a heavy fine for possessing her
Majesty's uniform.
Defendant--I was so drunk I don't know what hap.
pened,
Mr. Dayman—l shall remand you until Thursday, by
which time the military will have disposed of Garner. If
it is then considered by them that you are no more impli-
cated in this matter than appears at present, you will be
then discharged.
Defendant was then removed.
