RE CALDINELL.

This bankrupt was described as a farrier of Kennington,
and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge,
but only the preliminary accounts had been filed.
Mr. Buchanan applied on behalf of the bankrupt for an
adjournment, to give an opportunity for the bankrupt to
complete a deed of arrangement, by which the creditors will
receive 3s. in the pound.

The bankrupt having sworn that a friend would advance
the money, his Honour granted the adjournment,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

- - • __---

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBING A CLERGYMAN.—Thomas Jones, described as a
shoemaker, and well known to the police, was charged
before Mr. Knox with stealing a watch of the value of £5,
the property of the Rev. Joseph Dudley, of Sarnoefield,
Herefordshire.
Prosecutor said that he was outside the circus in Leicester•
square (the Alhambra) yesterday evening just as the doors
were opening, when he observed the prisoner close to him.
He felt a tug at his watch, and on looking down saw it
going from him, and in the prisoner's hand. He seized the
prisoner, when the watch fell from his hand. He then gave
him in charge, when he made a great outcry, declaring he
had not taken the watch.
Police-constable Thomas Butt, 95 A, said he was on duty
inside the Alhambra Palace yesterday evening, and, hearing
the cry of "Police," he rushed out, and saw the watch
lying on the ground. He took the prisoner into custody,
when he gave a false address. About an hour afterwards
he found the ring of the watch.

The prosecutor wishing the case disposed of at once, as
he was • going back to Herefordshire, and the prisoner
pleading guilty, Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for six
months with hard labour.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF ASSAULT—GREAT PROVOCA-
TION.—WiIIiam Henry Shafto, a tall, gentlemanly looking
man, was charged before Mr. Knox with asaulting William
Roberts, formerly a police-constable.
The complainant said that the defendant walked up to
him and said—" You have been following me about all
day," and then struck him on the head with the thick end
of the stick produced, the effect of the blow being to cut the
skin of his head.

Mr. Knox asked the complainant whether he had been
following the defendant about as he stated, and the com-
plainant said he had.

Mr. Knox inquired of the complainant whether ho was
in the police force, and he said that he had been, but he
was not now.

The defendant said the complainant had been following
him about all day watching him, sometimes standing in
doorways, so as to avoid being seen, and thinking that
his intent might be criminal, he certainly asked him
why he was watching him, and gave him a slight tap with
his stick, but the blow was not a powerful one, or he should
have killed the complainant.

A constable proved seeing the blow struck.
Mr. Knox said he thought if the defendant had meant to
hurt the complainant there would have been a larger mark,
the defendant being a powerful man. The complainant was
not in the police force, and if he chose to take up the trade
of following and watching people he must be prepared fur
its inconveniences. The defendant had no right to strike
the complainant, but as the provocation was very great, he
should only fine the defendant 10s. or seven days.
It did not transpire what the complainant's object was in
following the defendant, but it was stated that he was em-
ployed to do so.

DESERTING A FAMILY.—EIIen Maddigan was charged
before Mr. Knox with unlawfully deserting her four chil-
dren, and leaving there chargeable upon the parish of St.
George's, Hanover-square.

Mr. George Baddeley, assistant overseer, said that on the
26th of May, 1862, the four children of the prisoner, one of
them two years old, were tound on the door steps of the
workhouse in Mount-street, and they had been chargeable
upon the parish ever since. On a previous occasion she
deserted her family, and was sentenced Li three months'
hard labour.

Mr Knox committed her for three months' hard labour.
The prisoner has been a good deal of trouble, and has
put the parish to considerable expense.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS AFFRAY WITH A POLICE CONSTABLE,--
James Reardon, a dock labourer, with marks of violence on
his head and face, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with violently assulting a police constable.
A certificate to the following effect was put in—" I hereby
certify that George Wood, police-constable, No. 128 H, is
unable to leave his bed in consequence of some injuries re-
ceived, P. DUKES, Surgeon, 282, Brick-lane, Dec. 9, 1863."
Alfred John Townsend, a boy. of No. 4, John-hill, Rat-
cliff-highway, said he was passing along Upper East
Smithfield, near the Londin Dock, last night, and saw the
prisoner strike a policeman,
Mr. Partridge—What did the policeman do ?
Witness—He was shoving the prisoner about. The
street was full of people. The policeman took out his
staff and struck the prisoner, who got the policeman down.
There was a cut on the policeman's cheek, and another on
his forehead. The prisoner kicked the policeman dread-
fully.

The prisoner—What that boy says is not correct. I was
in a public-house at six or half-past six o'clock last night.
I was coming out, and the policeman said "Go on—get
away," and shoved me and knocked me down. He hit me
several times over the head. If I thought I should have
been brought here I could have had a witness.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week. •

BIRLIOMANIA.—The valuable library of the late
Mr. Turnbull, who died shortly after his resignation
of the appointnient he held in the Record-office, has been just

smaller privately printed publications often bringing pounds
(or what had cost Mr. Turnbull shillings. This was parti-
cularly the case in regard to his collection of Peerage Evi-
dences, &c., which usually are considered waste paper. The
various " Club-books" were also eagerly purchased at ex-
travagant rates.
