BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRTDAy.

After the news of the success of Stradella over The Mar-
quis, nothing else was talked of for the t. hester Cup. For
the Two Thousand Guineas, Hospudar and Brick were
in great force ; all the money that could be obtaisted at 7 to
1 was taken ebout the latter. For the City and Suburban
Handicap, Argonaut and Buckenham were in most re-
quest; and the layers of 50 to 1 agst Catch'em Alive,
although not so numerous to-day, were tired out, and offers
were made to take 100 to 6 about him for the Metropolitan.

The death of the venerable Thomas Kaye Bon-
ney, M.A. archdeacon, of Leicester is announced.
The deceased was 80 years of age, and was appointed to the
archdeaconry in 1831. It is somewhat singular that this is
tho third death which has taken place in the family during
the last four months, his brother, the Archdeacon
of Lincoln, having died on Christmas Eve, and his sister,
Miss Bonney, on the 11th of February,

Lancaster.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

BO W • STREET.
STEALING A CLOCK --Richard Sullivan was charged
with stealing a clock from the shop of Mr. Sharp, in the
Strand.
The prosecutor said—This morning the clock (produced)
was standing safe on the counter, and in a short time after-
wards missing it he went into the street, when on turning
up Bedford-street he saw the prisoner standing in a door-
way, stooping down over the clock, endeavouring to conceal
it. He collared him, and a struggle ensued, when a con-
stable came up and the prisoner was secured. The value
of the article is about £7.
Prisoner—Will you swear you saw the clock in my hand ?
Prosecutor—Yes, positively.
Prisoner—Well you aint particular then. (Laughter.)
How could I have the clock in my hand when you said I
was standing over it ?
Prosecutor—You were stooping, and had one hand on the
clock, and with the other you appeared to be getting a
handkerchief to cover it with.
Prisoner—How could I be feeling for that I hadn't got.
(Laughter.) Your worship, he never saw it in my hand.
Mr. Corrie—l don't think that point of much importance.
The question is, how did the clock come in the doorway ?
It could not have walked there. (Laughter.)
Prisoner—Well, clocks sometimes goes wery fast. (Laugh-
ter,) I say he did not see it in my hand.
The police constable who took the prisoner into custody
said he saw the prisoner and prosecutor struggling, and
when he found a robbery had been committed he seized the
prisoner, who resisted capture very much.
Prisoner—Because they said I'd stole the clock.
Mr. Corrie—You were indignant at such an accusation.
Well, what have you to say to the charge.
Prisoner—Well, I'm a poor man, and I try to get my
living honestly. (Laughter,) I'll be obliged if you'll settle
this here.
Mr. Corrie—ls that all you want to say. I shall not dis-
pose of the case here.
Prisoner—You won't? Then, in course, says nothing
if you're going to send me to the sessions.
Committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CARRIAGE TRIEVES.—Two lads named George Allen
and George Williams, both living at a lodging.louse
in
Artillery-row, Westminster, were charged before Mr.
Knox with stealing from a Hansom cab in Regent-street, a
lady's cloak.
From the evidence of Mark Stokes, a shoeblack boy, it
appeared that while in Regent. street the previous afternoon
with his box, he saw a Hansom cab with two ladies drive
up to No. 240. He opened the door of the cab for the ladies,
and they got out, and having moved a short distance off he
saw Allen put his hand into the cab and take out a cloak
belonging to one of the ladies. He pursued the prisoner
Allen, crying " Stop thief," and saw him drop the cloak,
and a constable then took him into custody.
Ewer, 166 C, said that hearing cries of " Stop thief," he
joined in the pursuit of Alen, and took him into custody in
Saville-row. "Williams interfered in Allen's behalf, and
he then took him into custody, believing he wasa companion
of Allen's.

The first witness said the two prisoners were near one
another before the robbery.

Inspector Silverton said one of the ladies attended at the
station, and although he explained the matter to her she
declined to sign the sheet. There had been numerous rob-
beries of the kind lately, and there was every reason to be-
lieve the prisoners were regular carriage thieves. They
were remanded.

WESTMINSTER.
THE PREVALENCE OF SMALL-PDX AT PIMLICO —IIE-
FIJSAL OF A MOTRER TO HAVE HER CHILD 'BURIED.—
Immediately after the magistrate had taken his seat on the
bench this morning, Dr. Aldis, of Chester place, Chester-
sqrare, who is the officer of health appointed for St.
George's-square, addressing him, said "I have felt it my
duty sir, to apply to you on public grounds for your advice
and assistance. It is with respect to the interment of a
child, three years of age, who has died of small-pox, and is
now lying at 12, Spring-gardens, Pimlico. The child is
there exposed in a small back room occupied by its father
and mother and three other children, and there are not
only 26 souls in this six-roomed house, but it is situated in
a very crowded locality in which the small-pox is very
prevalent amongst the humbler classes. Under these cir-
cumstances it is most highly essential for the sake of the
public health and safety that this child should be removed
and interred, to prevent the influence of contagion. Efforts
have been made to effect this, but in vain. Mr. Badderly,
overseer of the parish, informed me that although
the father of the child was anxious 'hat the child should
be removed and buried, the mother positively refused to
allow it. Mr, Badderly sent Osborne, who has charge of
the funerals of the parish, to take away the child. He
placed it in a coffin for that purpose, when the mother took
it put again, and restored it to its cradle or cot, and several
Irish persons of the neighbourhood having collected, in-
timidated him by their threats, and he felt compelled to re-
tire. 1 myself subsequently went in with Mr. Grant and
tried to persuade the mother to let the child he removed,
but she refused, although her husband pressed the remo-
val, I must only repeat that it is of great importance that
the child should be immediately interred."
Mr, Selfe was of opinion that the father had the power
to order the removal of the child, which was, as Dr.
Aldis had said, highly necessary, and he thought that
there could be no impropriety in the police accompanying
the parish officers and see that there was no breach of the
peace upon the removal of the child.
