prisoner lying on one of the quays, close to the water's edge

stealing a garden-full of linen from the model-lodging build-
ings, Fulham-road.

Thomas Souks, a journeyman plasterer, with a wifo and
family, said that on Friday last the linen, which had been
washed, was hung out in the garden at the rear of the
house. At about half-past seven in the evening he had
occasion to go into the garden, and then saw the linen safe.
lie immediately afterwards went out, and as he did so he saw
the prisoner at the end of the entranee, who was making
some remark about the model lodging-houses to some others,
as though to divert attention. Witness thought prisoner's
conduct so suspicious that he would have gone back to
tell his wife to take the linen in, but was so pressed for
time as to be unable to do so. When he returned home at
nine o'clock he found the garden had been stripped of
this linen. Prosecutor here enumerated a vast
number of articles of clothing indispensable to the
cleanliness and comfort of a family. Last night

into custody.

REMOVAL OF HUMAN REMAINS.—THE VESTRY OF ST.
PANCRAS AND THE TOTTENHAM• COURT-ROAD CHAPEL.
—Mr, Thomas Curtis, the sanitary inspector of St. Pancras
garish, applied this morning to Mr. Knox, on behalf of
the vestry of St. Pancras, for a summons against Mr.
Nathan Woolf Jacobson, of Oxford-street, for unlawfully
removing the remains of certain bodies which have been
interred in the ground attached to Tottenham-court-road
Chapel (once known as Whitfield's Tabernacle), without
the license of one of her Majesty's Secretaries of State, as
required by the Burial Act, in respect to all places not con-
secrated.
It appears that some years ago the greater portion of the
burial ground was levelled and paved over, but a part was
left undisturbed till lately when the persons having the
control of the place disposed of some of it to Mr. Jacobson
for building purposes. In excavating the ground for the
purpose of preparing the foundations several coffins have
been exposed to view, and a large quantity of human re-
mains , thrown up. A good deal of excitexnent has been
caused in the neighbourhood, more especially as in 1856 a
riot took place in the same ground through a number of
men being employed in destroying the graves with the
view of levelling the ground. The matter has been brought
before :the vestry of the St. Pancras parish, in consequence
of the complaints of the inhabitants of John-street, Totten-
ham-court-road, who feel much annoyed at the proceed.•
ing, and in consequence they instructed Mr. Curtis to
apply for a summons against Mr. Jacobson.
Mr. Knox granted the summons.
URGING A DOG TO ATTACH A CONSTABLE.—PoIydor
Polin, a French cutler, residing at 14, Newport-market,
was charged before Mr. Knox with unlawfuily setting on
and urging a dog to attack Police-constable George Henry
Mayhew, 27 C.
Mayhew said that about two o'clock that morning he
saw the prisoner with several other persons in Denman-
street, St. James's. The prisoner had a dog of the bulldog
breed with him, and set it on an orangeman. He (Mayhew)
was called up by the man to interfere, and as soon as ke did
so the prisoner got over some railings and set the dog on
him, urging it to bite him. The dog then flew at him and
bit his hand, and he had been obliged to go to the Charing-
cross-hospital to have it cauterised.
The prisoner in his defence, said the dog was playing at
the time, and flew at the constable.
Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the dog flew at
him in protection of its master, or whether prisoner set the
dog on him.
Mayhew said the prisoner urged the dog to attack him,
and he was badly bitten.
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 20s. or seven days in defau
