THE CATTI,E PLAGUE.

Mr. GIBBINS, the chairman of the Markets Com-
mittee, replying to a question of Mr. Harris, said
there could be no doubt that in London the cattle
disease was rapidly decreasing, though it was other-
wise in the provinces. During the last week the
Metropolitan Cattle-market had been particularly
free from the prevailing disease. The inspector,
Mr. Tegg, had reported to them that he thought he
could safely say there had not been a single case on
either market day of the last week. The foot and
mouth complaint, however, had been very prevalent,
and chiefly so on Monday. Mr. Gibbins read from
the newspapers of Tuesday the statement of the sec-
retary of the Cattle Plague Commission, correcting
two inaccuracies which appeared in the Commis-
sioners' published report. The tabular statement
there given, be explained, was framed from returns
issued by the Veterinary Department of the Privy
Council, but was not, in its actual form prepared by
that department, and the figures in the first three co-
lumns represented the numbers which in the three
weeks were reported as attacked, and not the numbers
actually attacked in those weeks. From an expla-
nation furnished by the secretary of the Veterinary
Department it appeared that animals attacked in one
week were sometimes reported in a subsequent week.
The weekly returns did not, therefore, precisely re-
present the weekly progress of the disease.

MANSI ON-HOUSE.
Mr. RAMS, chairman of the General Purposes
Committee, brought up a report in reference to the
progress made in the restoration of the foundations
of the Mansion-house, and for authority to expend
a further sum of £l,OOO in continuation of the
work.

The report was agreed to Without a dissentient.

WORKING CLASSES' INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.
Deputy FRY presented a petition from the Com-
mittee of the City of London Working Classes' In-
dustrial Exhibition for the use of the Guildhall for
the purpose of holding the exhibition.
The prayer was granted on the condition that the
time of holding the exhibition be limited to six
weeks.

himself. Tho will being Bashed a fee was offered but
refused, the lawyer was no sower gone than the will was
copied, and the £lOO legacy left out.—Chamberis Journal.

WANDSWORTH:

THE CLERGYMAN AND HIS DOG.—STRANGE DOINGS IN A
RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The Rev. Braithwaite Hermitage
appeared before Mr. Day man to answer a summons, at the
instance of Inspector Carpenter, on behalf of the Brighton
Railway Company, charging him with unlawfully interfer-
ing with the comfort of certain passengers.
Mr. George Best, auctioneer, said he resided at Anerly,
but his offices were in Coleman-street, City. On the morn-
ing of the 13th ult. he entered a second-class carriage at the
Victoria Station, as was his custom, to return home, and
after he had been seated a short time the defendant
who wore a black hat, and carried a short stick in his
hand, drove a large dog into the same compartment, and
then followed himself. He was apparently the worse for
liquor. Several persons in the carriage objected to the
presence of the dog, as there was a proper place in the
train for it, but the defendant refused to remove the ani-
mal, said it was was all right, and that they all knew him
on the line. The attention of the officials was called to the
dog, but finding they could do nothing with the defendant
the train went on. The defendant then spoke about the
character of the dog as to what it would do if any person
interfered with it, flourished his stick, and struck the
roof of the carriage with it. The train had not pro-
ceeded far when the defendant took out some
coppers and tossed for money with a boy, who
won twopence of him. He made use of very improper
language. He represented himself as a reverend gentle-
man, and in reply one of the passengers said he did not act
like one, and that his conduct was more like that of a
lunatic. Several passengers alighted at Clapham-junction,
and the defendant soon crossed over to where witness was
sitting, and wanted to pull the window down. Witness
said, " Don't touch it." Ho replied, Who the - aro
you ?" He then flourished his stick again, and struck the
roof of the carriage. The defendant alighted at Balham-
station, where it was discovered that he had a third class
ticket, and had not paid for the day's riding.
The defendant expressed his regret at the occurrence,
but the magistrate fined him 55., and 12s. costs, which was
instantly paid.

SUPPLY OF GAS TO THE CITY.

Mr. BoNTEms, chairman of a special committee
appointed in October last to consider the whole
question of the supply of gas to the city, which has
long caused general dissatisfaction, brought up a
report upon the subject. The committee now certi-
fied that as it became requisite to fix upon a site
previous to giving the necessary notices to Parlia-
ment for a bill, and having ascertained from scien-
tific evidence that the works might be erected at a
distance of from six to seven miles without any loss
of illuminating power of the gas, provided it were
in the first instance properly made, they had in-
spected a number of sites in the eastern and north-
eastern vicinity of the metropolis, and after due
consideration had selected one on the banks of
the Thames, about six miles from the city, and
for the purchase of which they intend taking com-
pulsory powers in the proposed bill. They also
stated that after duly considering the subject, and
consulting with scientific men well versed in it, they
had directed the necessary notices to be given for
the introduction of a bill in Parliament to enable
the Corporation to erect works and engage for the
supply of gas to the citizens, and such notices had
been duly given and the necessary plans deposited.
Their attention had also been necessarily given to the
question of the probable expense to be incurred for
the supply of the whole city, and they found upon
inquiry, it would be about £425,000. They now re-
commended that they should be authorised to intro-
duce a bill to effect the objects in view, to promote
it in Parliament, and to negotiate for and obtain a
conditional contract for the purchase of a site, and
also that they should have authority to consult with
the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee relative to
raising the requisite funds. Mr. Bontems stated in-
cidentally, in moving the adoption of the report, that
the profit last year of the Great Central Gas Com-
pany, one of the three companies who now supply
the city with gas, amounted to £26,000. Adverting
to an intimation given by the companies that they
would reduce the price of their gas 6d. per 1,000
cubic feet by Christmas, and possibly another 6d. by
the spring of next year, he ridiculed it as a mere
afterthought' to stave off legislation ; and he said the
object of the proposed application to Parliament was
to enable the citizens in future to obtain gas good
in quality and cheap.
After an unavailing opposition by Mr. Rowe, who
contended that the citizens were now receiving from
the Great Central Company gas higher both in illu-
minating power and in quality than that contracted
for by the Corporation, the motion for adopting the
report of the committee was carried by a large ma-
jority.

TIIE HOLBORN VALLEY IMPROVEMENT.

Mr. R. N. PIIILIPPS asked the Chairman of the
Holborn Valley Improvement Committee if the
rumour was true that Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of
Blackfriars'-bridge, had been called in by them to
advise in reference
.0 thpropoQoa. worlto for
up the valley, and if so, in what capacity.
Mr. Deputy Fitv, the chairman of the Committee,
explained that the tenders which they had invited
for the execution of the llolborn Valley viaduct and
works had all been so greatly in excess of the Par-
liamentary estimates that the committee had not
thought it desirable to accept any of them, though
they had been prepared for some excess in the ten-
ders over the estimates, in consideration of the in-
creased cost of materials and labours. They had
held a conference on the subject with Mr. Horace
Jones, the city architect, and Mr. Haywood, the en-
gineer to the Commissioners of Sewers; but those
gentlemen differed so much as to the necessary
works to be executed and the cost of them, that the

LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1865.

Yesterday a deputation from the council of the
Royal Agricultural Society waited, by appointment,
on the Privy Council, for the purpose of bringing
under official notice many resolutions connected
with the cattle plague. Among the resolutions we
find it suggested that all fairs and markets should
be suppressed for the present, as being oue effectual
means of stopping the pestilence ; and if this is im-
practicable in a wholesale manner, that all cattle,
sheep, and pigs exhibited for sale be 'branded, and
not allowed to leave the town alive. All foreign
cattle are to be slaughtered at the place
of landing, or if not for the owner or consignee,
to state to what town he is taking them, for them
to be allowed to be buried and slaughtered at their
destination. No cattle are to travel upon any road
from any farm or place upon or in which there has
been a case of cattle-plague lately. This is a very
good suggestion, and one that might with advantage
be acted upon. The ninth resolution is perhaps the
best of all. It suggests that the " Go-
vernment be requested to institute experi-
ments on an extensive scale, in order to ascertain
the real character of the cattle-plague, and
to test various methods of prevention and cure:,
Lord WALSINGHAM showed that the local authori-
ties often neglected to put the orders in force until
it was too late, and he thought the Government
should look after the enforcement of the rules
themselves. In many instances where fairs and
markets are prohibited persons have been known
to take a field and have their cattle bought and
sold there, thus defeating the object in view, and
disseminating the plague in many quarters. Lord
GRANVILLE explained that general prohibition
would in mans cases offend those in districts
where the plague had not yet reached. Mr. THOMP-
SON showed that strict attention to this rule was the
only way to prevent infection spreading into healthy
places. At York the local authorities were advised
not to allow the fair to be held in that city ; but it
was done, and the consequence has been that the
cattle came in from all parts, the disease was in-
troduced, and has spread about considerably.
ntouos
the Government orders generally reach aplace
late to be of any effectual service in the way of pre-
vention. It was shown that Birmingham market
is now open, and it is possible to trace
" several distinct centres of contagion that have
been spread from it."

In answer to the argument that meat would rise

AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.—WiIIiam Bunn, a
newsvendor, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
violently assaulting Police-constable Freeman, 436 K.
The prisoner is related to some very respectable people,
who carry on business as newsagents in Pattison-street,
Stepney. He is certainly the most foul-mouthed ruffian
ever known in the district. He has been repeatedly in
custody for being drunk and for assaults, and owing to the
intercession of his sisters, who have shared in his abuse
and threats, he has been frequently released. He was re-
presented by his relatives to be of unsound mind, but it
was stated by Inspector Griffin, K division, and others,
that he was perfectly sane when he was sober, and that
when excited by drink he acted like a madman. Ho was
drunk last night, and conduoted himself in a very disor-
'derly manner in Wellington-place, Stepney. Freeman
begged of him to leave the street and go home. He
refused to do so, and made use of the most diabolical
threats. The policeman expostulated with him in vain,
and at last put his Lauds open him, and said he ,should

SOUTH LANCASHIRE, DEC. 6.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
John Shackleton, 27, was indicted for having, at
Bolton, on the 30th September, stabbed Richard
Fairhurst with a knife with intent to do him grievous
bodily harm.—Mr. Torr prosecuted ; Mr. Higgin
defended.—The prosecutor, who is a labourer, has
not for some time been living with his wife. She was
employed as domestic servant by the prisoner's
father, and afterwards went to live at a beerhouse.
On the evening of the 30th of September Fairhurst
went to that beerhouse, where he met the prisoner.
Later on that evening the prosecutor overtook the
prisoner on the road near Bolton. The prisoner
was walking with the prosecutor's wife, and Fair-
hurst told her that that was not her road. Prisoner
said he was game, and prosecutor replied that he
would give him game if he had hold of him. Pri-
soner then ran at Fairhurst, kicked him on the
thigh, and afterwards inflicted on him a frightful
gash, which was 64in. in length and extended from
the nose, across the right cheek, to the end of the
jawbone. The wounded man was taken to a sur-
geon ; the wound was not dangerous, and it
healed in a fortnight. Prisoner surrendered him-
self at the Bolton police station the same even-
ing, and when charged he denied having a
knife.—The defence was an admission of the act,
but a denial of the intent to do bodily harm.
—The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlaw-
ful wounding.—Mr. Hallett, surgeon, Bolton,
said he had known the prisoner from a child,
and considered his mind of a very low order,
owing to cerebral disease.—The judged remarked
that it seemed there ware very rough people at
Bolton, and he sentences the prisoner to six months'
imprisonment.
Edward M'Guire, 17, and John Watson, 20, were
indicted for having, on the 7th October, violently
assaulted James Berry vith intent to rob him.—
Mr. Torr prosecuted.—The prosecutor, who is a
carter, was going along Zara-street on the night in
question, when he was set upon by four men. A
violent blow on the head wised him to fall, and some
of the men threatened :o knock his brains out.
Berry had his money in his hand ' • he felt a hand
in his pocket, but was not robbed of anything. The
prisoners were seen by a policeman ; they ran away,
and he followed them and apprehended them.—The
jury found the prisoners guilty. Watson pleaded
guilty to a previous conliction, and it was stated
by the Judge that in Decenber, 1861, he was sen-
tenced to three years' penal servitude, and since the
expiration of that sentence he had been convicted
of assaulting the police.—Oentence was postponed.
William Allen, 30, was indicted for an assault
and watch robbery.—Mr Gilmour prosecuted.—
