POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE SOI-DISANT GERMAN BARON AND HIS VICTIMS.—
Ernest Rathenow, a tall German, also styling himself the
" Baron Rex," wearing a fashionable grey coat, was charged
before Mr. Knox with assaulting police-constable 54 E
under the following peculiar circumstances :
A number of cabmen were in attendance to prefer charges
against the prisoner.
The constable said—l was called to 77, Margaret-street,
where a lady, who was in the area, told me that she re-
quired protection from the prisoner, who was conducting
himself in a most extraordinary manner. The prisoner
was in the passage and would not let any one into the
house. Ho afterwards made his appearance at an upper
window and poured two or three jugs of water over him.
I afterwards gained admission to the house and took the
prisoner into custody. The prisoner gave the name of the

Baron Rex.
The Prisoner—My name is Ernest Rathonow. Can I

speak ?
Mr. Knox—Certainly.
Prisoner—l've no questions to ask the constable, but I
did not see him when I threw the water.
Constable—lt is not true. He came to Margaret-street
on Monday evening and engaged apartments, stating that
his luggage would come the next day. He gave the name
of Alberts, and he was known at the Prussian embassy.
Mr. Hudson, of No. 77, Margaret-street, said—The pri-
soner came to my house on Monday evening and took
apartments. On Tuesday morning several cabmen came
to the house and made a disturbance. The prisoner came
inside and shut the door, would not let any one in, and said
he would sit in the passage. In fact, I was afraid he would
do mischief either to myself or a little girl. A large crowd
collected outside the house. He dined on Monday evening
at my house, and ordered a bottle of whisky, and yester-
day he had breakfast.
Mr. Knox—My doubt is whether ho is in his right mind.
Prisoner—l don't see that I have committed myself.

Mr. Knox—You have thrown water over the constable
and caused a disturbance. There are a number of cabmen
outside.

Prisoner—Oh, that's very likely.
. Constable—There is a gentleman present who says the
prisoner has been in an asylum.
Prisoner—l have been in one, and I got heavy damages
against the person who put me there. I suppose because
a man takes cabs and does not pay for them immediately,
he is mad!
A cabman here stepped forward and said—The prisoner
took me from Oxford-street to the Blackwall Station.
While there another cabman came up and claimed some
money of him, and two or three others wanted to see him.
The prisoner then went into a shop to see the directory,
and afterwards told me to ride to Aldermanbury, then to
Throgmorton-street, then to Percy-street, Tottenham-
court-road, and back again. As I could not get my money
I took him to the Guildhall Police-court. They told me
there that I had better take him back to Percy-street,
which I did, when he ran into the house like steam and
through another house, but I succeeded in catching him.
He then told me 1 could lock him up, at the same time

giving an address in Cavendish-square. After that he
made off to the Pantheon, and tried to escape me by dodg-
ing amongst tho different stalls. From the Pantheon he
went to Marshall and Snelgrove's, and after another sharp
chase I tracked him to 77, Margaret-street, the door of
which house he opened with a latch-key. Finding I had
him safe, I went for a constable, and saw him throw
water over him.

A person living in Percy-street said—The prisoner
opened the gate and ran through the house, nearly knock-
ing me down. I then told the cabman to look after him.
Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Have you any friend in
London ?

Prisoner—Yes, the secretary to the Prussian Legation.

Another cabman, an elderly, good-humoured man,
after taking a scrutinising glance at the prisoner, said--.
On Sunday morning last," at a quarter to 7, he engaged me
in Camden Town. Ho then took me to Castle-street,
where he changed his suit of clothes. He then told me to
drive to Finchley. When we got to the first gate he said
he had nothing less than a sovereign. I lent him a half-
penny till he got through, knowing the man. On getting
to the second gate he said he had only a .£5 note. I went
to Grove-place, and there prisoner stopped. The gentle-
man at the house gave me a cup of coffee. I afterwards
had dinner, the prisoner staying there some hours. Just
as we were about leaving the gentleman came out and
told me he was glad to get rid of his visitor, at the same
time saying, "Do you know him—he is a slippery cus-
tomer ?" which put me down in my luck—(laughter)--as
I thought I had a tidy job, which your worship will see it
turned out. (Laughter.) The prisoner then told me to
drive to Bayswater, to Fitzroy-square, and to his house in
Tower-street. When he came out of the house I
asked him for my money, and he said, "If you go
back to Oxford-street I'll settle with you." On
arriving there—the round being up—he told me
to wait till next day, so I followed him, and at last spoke
to him, when he gave me a false address. I have also
ascertained that he has obtained goods of different trades-
men. I went to the address he gave me, and found it to
bo false. I also found that he had taken three lodgings In
one day, at each saying his baggage was at the King's-
cross station. He also garo an address in Wigmore-street.
Ah ! there's a butcher there wants to see him. A Mr.
Groom wants to see him, and so does Mr. Way. lt's all
true what I'm saying, and my gentleman knows it. I'm
glad he is here, as it will save persons from being robbed
by a man who bilks cabmen, and takes throe lodgings in
ono day.
Constable—A gentleman in Regent-street has a claim or
charge against the prisoner.

Mr. Knox—l shall remand him.
Constable—Goods were sent in the prisoner's name to
Margaret-street, but were not taken in.
Cabman—l was engaged 11 hours, and never got a
penny, and there are several others who have been served
the same way by him.

MEETING THIS DAY.
The sixth half-yearly meeting of this company was held
to-day, at the Victoria-station, Westminster—Sir Cusack
P. Roney, the chairman of the company, presiding.
The report and statement of the accounts, which have
been published, having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN said that the line was not opened for
traffic to the high level station until the Ist instant, and
the works were in a rather incomplete state. The inter-
mediate stations at Denmark-hill and Peckham were
not yet opened, and the same was the case with
reference to Lordship Lane, Honoroad, and Nuuhead line,
but they were in progress, and he hoped would soon be
finished. They had not yet had ready means of access
from the City, but as soon as the extensions in progress
with the Great Northern and other companies were com-
pleted, they would acquire increased facilities of commu-
nication between the most important points, which could
not fail to increase largely their traffic. Theg had no
reason to complain of their present success, for during
the first week they carried between 4,000 and 5,000
passengers, in the second week 10,000, and in the
third week 10,000. They had only nineteen t rains
running at present, but when their arrangements were
fully carried out there was no doubt that number would be
doubled. He concluded by moving the adoption of the re-
port and statement of accounts. •
Sir C. H. S. RICH seconded the motion, which was agreed
to.

Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the board
of directors for the able manner in which they had admi-
nistered the aflairs of tho company.
The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said
he was confident when they met the shareholders next
half-year, the directors would be able to show that this line
would prove a paying and a profitable undertaking.
The proceedings then terminated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. F. Gibbons.)

ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON PAWNBROKERS BY "DUFFING

WATCHES.-GLOVER V. RUSSELL.

This was an action of a very novel character, and dis-
closed a system under which respectable pawnbrokers are
victimised by what are called " duffing" gold watches.
The plaintiff was described_sir a merchant, of the Queen's-
road, Dalston, and he sued to recover the value of a watch,
stated to be gold, which he alleged he had redeemed at the
defendant's shop.
Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection
Society, appeared for the defendant, a pawnbroker, of
Fore-street, in the City.

Plaintiff said that a short time ago he purchased two
tickets of two gold; watches, which had been pawned,
the one at Mr. Attenborough's, and one at defendant's, by
a man named Stone, who resides in the New North-road.
Plaintiff redeemed the watches and tried to sell them, but
finding they would not suit his market, sent back the one
he had redeemed from defendant to be re-pledged. It was
refused as being of no value, and then plaintiff brought
the present action to recover the money he had paid for it
when he took it out of pawn in the first instance.

His Honour—ls the watch in Court ?
Mr. Neate—Yes, sir, but I think I had better not pro-
duce it until I have cross-examined the plaintiff.
His Honour—Let me see it.

Mr. Neate—Although it is described as a gold watch it
has been discovered that the back only is gold, and the
rims silver gilt. In fact, it is an article expressly got up
to defraud. pawnbrokers.

Plaintiff, in
cross-examination--I believe that the watches
are sold in the usual way of trade by a person in Queen-
street. I am quite sure that I redeemed the watch now
produced at defendant's shop, where it had been pledged
for £2 2s.

Defendant--I do not remember the watch now produced
having ever been pawned with me, but I do recollect its
being offered. While my young man was examining it,
the back fell out, and he discovered that the rims were
silver gilt.

His Honour (to plaintiff)—Hare you any witnesses ?

Plaintiff—My clerk.

A young man came forward and said he was clerk to
plaintiff, who bought and sold goods for cash, but had no
office except at Queen's-road, Dalston.
His Honour—l am not at all satisfied with the case, and
really, looking at the watch produced, it appears to me to
be got up for the purpose of fraud.

Mr. Neate—l am informed that these watches are im-
ported into this country at 355. each. They are called
" duffers," and my client has been victimised with another
of them, upon which he has advanced 50s.

Plaintiff—May I ask the defendant a question ?
His Honour—No. I am not satisfied with your case or
with the description given of you by your clerk.
Plaintiff—Then I shall take the matter to the superior
court.

Mr. Neate-1 apply for costs of attorney, as this is a case
in which a large body of tradesmen are concerned.
His Honour—l shall certainly allow costs, as lam of
opinion that this watch was manufactured for the express
purpose of swindling pawnbrokers.
Plaintiff nonsuited with costs. -

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

YORK AUGUST MEETING--TUESDAY.

Racing, to the real lover of the sport, has been dull and
uninteresting work since Goodwood. Brighton, with the
exception of the contest for the Cup, was below par, while
Reading, Egham, and Oxford have been only distinguished
for plating form and an excess of half-mile spins. One turns
thereforo to Knavesmire with a feeling of relief, secure of
finding on ground, so rich in the traditidns of the past, a
renewal of those contests that have almost made a household

word of its name.
The York August has only one hostile element arrayed
against it—the grouse. Sportsmen hardly like to quit their
moors in the first flush of the season, even to see the Great
Yorkshire or the Great Ebor run for, and the young ones
the Convivial or the Gimcrack may show them ; but to-day
there was a fair share, and more than a fair one, on the pri
vats and subscription stands of the rank and fashion of the
West Riding. The skies were propitious, and the going,
with the exception of the ground being holding in places,
might be considered good. •
Hornblower, a tremendous favourite for the first event,
the Zetland Stakes, disposed of his pretensions for the Ebor
on the morrow by shutting up directly they began to race,
and Ambition won cleverly. The rich Black Duck Stakes
of 1,000 sovs each, was a walk over for Lord Stamford with
the " dark" Esca, Lord Coventry and Lord Glasgow com-
pounding for £3OO each forfeit ; and Peeress made an ex-
ample of her field in the Chesterfield Handicap, extinguish-
ing Nemo, a stable companion of Hornblower, and also a
candidate for Great Ebor honours. The big race seems
dwindling down into a small compass. The greatest surprise
of the day was in the Yorkshire Oaks, where the little
thought of Klarinska, who was nearly last off, ran through
her horses, and won in the commonest of canters by five
lengths ; Siberia, who in the Newmarket Craven beat her
by 15 lengths, hero running second ; while the favourite,
White Duck, was positively last.
The Zetland Stakes, of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for all
ages ; weights for age ; winners extra ; the second to
save his stake. One mile. 14 subs.

Through the fractiousness exhibited by Kate Hampton,
who repeatedly refused to face the flag, tho start was de-
layed some time. At last the flag was lowered, when they
left in close company, Proserpina in the centre, having a
slight lead of Windham and Ambition, close up with whom
were seen Miss Harriette (wide on their right), Horn-
blower, and Retrousse, who ran in company to the bend
in to the straight, where Windham dropped into the rear,
and his place taken by Ambition, next the rails, who
headed Proserpina in th© next half-dozen strides, and came
on with a slight lead to the distance, where she was joined
by Retrousse and Fitzroy. From this point a close and
interesting race ensued between the four ; Ambition, who
always appeared to have the best of it, running the longest,
and winning, rather cleverly at last, by half a length ; a
similar distance separated the second and third; Proser-
pine, who finished fourth, was a length in their rear; Miss
Harriette was fifth, close up, Windham sixth, Blackface
seventh, and Hornblower and Dart, side by side, next.
Treasure Trove, Sister to Strafford, and Countess were the
last three.

My Mary appeared in advance, when fairly on their legs,
and came on with the running, having Peeress, Flying
Horse, Exceller, and Red Earl as her immediate followers
to the T.Y.C. post, where the former disappeared from the
front, and her place was then taken by Peeress, who came
on next the rails with a clear lead, which she retained to
the half distance, where Exceller, having ran through his
horses, joined her, but, dying away as they passed the
stand, ho was beaten cleverly by three parts of a length, a
length separated the second and third, Zenobia was fourth,
a neck in their rear, Mine fifth, Audax sixth, and Fair

The White Duck jumped away with a slight lead of
Lallah Rookh, the pair coming on two or three lengths in
advance of Gardevisure, close up with whom were Siberia,
Miss Hobbie, and Klarinska, Mr. Saxon's School Girl drag-
ging her slow length along in their rear. On reaching the
mile-post Siberia ran into the third place, and followed the
leaders into the straight, when Mr. Bowes's colt also drew
forward. As they crossed the road the favourite wks seen

in difficulties, and was shortly after headed by Siberia,
who, half-way down, was passed by Klarinska, who came
up on the rails and won in a canter by five lengths, Siberia
defeating Gardevisure by a couple of lengths. Lallah Rookh
finished a bad fourth, Miss Hobble fifth, and White Duck
next. School Girl, who was last throughout, did not pass
the post.
