MARYLEBONE.

CRUELLY WORKING A HORSE —Thomas Norman, a
carman, was charged before Mr. Yardley, at the instance
of Mr. W. Love, chiet officer of the Royal Society for tha
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the following
cruelty to a horse : •

James Rutherford, one of the society's officers, said that
he was in the Hampstead-road and saw prisoner in charge
of a waggon containing a ton and a half of coal, having
only one horse in it. Whilst under the railway bridge,
and just before reaching the canal bridge, which has a very
steep ascent, he lashed the horse muse brutally, in order to
make him " take the bridge" with such a heavy load. The
animal made a dead stop, utterly unable to proceed any
further. Witness remonstrated with him on his cruelty,
and on looking at the horse he found whip marks under the
belly and on the most tender parts. There was matter
otizing from wounds on the shoulders and other parts.
Mr. Yardley, who had seen the horse, said it was in a
most wre ched state.
F,ederick Hubbard, coal-dealer, of 3, Rathbone-place,
Oxford-street, the owner of the horse, said he was not
aware it was in so bad a state.
Mr. Yardley—Nonsense, sir; don't stand there and tell
me that. I never saw a horse more sensitive in my life.
It is impossible to touch the poor beast without its
showing pain all over its body. It is a scandalous shame,
and I shall fine the prisoner 10s. and in default of payment
seven days hard labour in the House of Correction, and,
Rutherford, if the master does not pay the fine take a sum-
towns out against him for sending a horse out in such a
state.

The master paid the fine, and said he would have the
horse destroyed.

TAKEN IN AND DONE Fox.--A poor man, named
Weaver. came betoze Mr. Partridge and stated that he pur-
chased the duplicate of a chain, which was represented to
be gold, of an acquaintance, and redeemel it. He had
since taken it to Mr. Carpenter, a very respectable pawn-
broker, in the Callum street-road, St. George-in. the-East,
who said the chain was only silver, and electro-platei with
gold on the surface. He gave 3s. for the duplicate. The
chain was in pawn for £2 155., and it cost him in all three
guineas. He believed it was only worth a few shillings.
Mr. Partridge—l cannot help you at all. You have
made a very bad bargain indeed.

Applicant— I have indeed, air; I have been taken in and
done for,

Mr. Partridge--I should think that chain is only worth
a few shillings.
A pawnbroker's assistant in court said the utmost value
of Ihe electro pla ed silver chain was 15s.
The applicant said he was very much surprised that any
pawnbroker should lend sos. on a chain only worth 15s.
Mr. Partridge—It does seem very strange, indeed. I
cannot help you, but it the person who sold you the dnpli-
cate is worth powder and shet you can proceed against him
in the County Celia. I have no jurisdiction in the case.

THE NATURE PRINTING PROCESS is thus briefly
described by a writer in the London Review :—Between
folded sheet of paper, well covered with printer's ink, the
leaf or seaweed is placed, and the folded paper and its con-
tents then are placed in one of the little wooden presses
between soft leathers and rolled with a wooden roller. All
the ribs, veins, and prominences of the leaf are thus inked
over. Now, if the inked leaf be placed on paper and rolled
in the same manner, it yields 01 course an impression of
itself, and gives an imprint of its finest parts.

It will be seen from the result of the race that
those who followed my advice, and backed my
despised outsider, Blackdown, never mentioned by
!-Ltiy other writer, will have no reason to regret
their investments. I concluded my remarks in
the Sun of Monday es follow :
" The only one that has an outside chance is Blackdown,
who is in Drewitt's stable, and is doing good work."
