The magistrate remanded both prisoners for a week.

SHAIIEIPUL CRUELTY.—COMMITTAL WITHOUT 1 FINE.
—William Chalk, a carman, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with cruelty to a horse, the proceedings being insti-
tuted at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty.to Animals.
Rutherford, one of the Society's officers, proved seeing
the prisoner driving a miserable mare in a cart on Saturday
afternoon, in the Tottenham-court-road. On removing
some of the harness he found a large open wound on its
backbone ; the wound being 4f inches long, and having a
hole in the centre. Under the collar there were five
different wounds, and about the teats there was a mass of
sores. The prisoner said he had brought the horse from
Hertfordshire. Some of the sores were of old standing.

The horse was brought to the front of the Court, and a
more pitiable spectacle has seldom been seen. The poor
animal's back was a mass of corruption; and there is little
doubt that, but for the society's officer bringing the mat-
ter before the Court, the prisoner would have allowed it
to die in the streets.

Mr. Tyrwhiit committed the prisoner for 14 days, and
said if the horse was not destroyed fresh proceedings
would be taken against him when he came from prison.
Thomas Chalk, father of the last prisoner, was fined
55., or seven days, for also working his horse in an unfit
state, the case being also prosecuted by the Royal Society.

THE NEAPOLITAN PROCLAMATION.

The Marquis of NORNIANBY rose to move an address
for copies or extracts of any despatches from Sir James
Hudson, her Majesty's Minister at Turin, relating to Go-
vernment prosecutions of the press during the last two
years ; also copies or extracts of any despatches from
Sir James Hudson, or from Mr. Bonham, her
Majesty's Consul at Naples, reporting the issue of cer-
tain proclamations or orders from Generals Cialdini and
Vorelli, from Commandants Galateri, Narbone, De
Vergili, Faieno, and others, whereby the population of
verious portions of the Neapolitan territory were last year
subjected to arbitrary military execution without any form
of process and without any previous declaration of a state
of siege , and also copies er extracts of any despatches from
Sir J. Hudson, calling the attention of her Majesty's Go-
• vernment to statements of fact as to the condition of Southern
Italy made by Neapolitan deputies in the Parliament of
Turin, and reported in the official records of that assembly.
The noble lord said he must refer to the statement made by
the noble earl when he (the Marquis of Normandy) a few
evenings ago was compelled to postpone his motion. The
noble earl on that occasion did not feel inclined to accept
entirely that which he had stated with respect to there
clamation, and had implied that the document had

THE MURDER OF MR. FRAYTER.

In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY,
Sir G. GREY said that the judge who tried the un for-
tunate man who committed the murder in question, wtis of
opinion from his eccentric conduct during the trial, that he
was insane, and communicated this impression to him (Sir
G. Grey.) He directed an inquiry to be instituted. and
from the certificates of four medical men, who
visited the prisoner in Newcastle Gaol, there
could be no doubt of his insanity. He had
accordingly written to the visiting justices of the gaol,
calling their attention to the facts, and reminding (them
that they were bound to see that the prisoner did not in-
jure himself or other persons while he was in gaol.
