CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

A gentlemanly-looking foreigner, named Lafaucade, sur-
rendered to an indictment, charging him with having com-
mitted perjury at a trial in one of the superior courts of
Westminster, in which a Madame Valentine was a claimant
for some valuable securities, and in which the defendant
gave strong evidence adverse to her claim. The trial was
of a very complicated character, and will not conclude, it
is expected, before late at night.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Frank Lancing Martin was indicted for feloniously
forging and uttering an order for the delivery of a blank
cheque, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England.

The prisoner, it appeared, engaged a boy to go to the
Bank of England to obtain a blank cheque, representing
it to be for Messrs. Gosling & Co., which was untrue.
Brett, the officer on duty at the bank, saw the boy enter,
and having made some inquiries of him, the cheque was
delivered to him, and when he arrived outside the bank
the prisoner came up, took the paper from him, and then
Brett took him into custody.

The prisoner, it was discovered, had ordered a large
quantity of clothes from several tailors in the City, and had
resided at two or three hotels, each of which he had left
without paying his bill.

The Common Sergeant told him it was a very serious
offence, and it was fortunate he did not carry his design
fully into operation. Had he done so he would most un-
doubtedly have been sentenced to penal servitude. He
then sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

The trial of Robert Waters, late steward of the Earl of
Shaftesbury, has been postponed until the October sessions.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

THE BALLOON ASCENT AT CREMOENE.-Arthur Lovejoy
a carman, was charged with being drunk, and endangering
the lives of persons near Cremorne garden; and violently
assaulting the police.
At seven o'clock last evening, while a large number of
persons were waiting in the neighbourhood of Cremorne
for the balloon ascent, the defendant drove a cart reek-
lessly down Cremorne-lane, to their imminent danger. He
was so drunk that he repeatedly fell about the cart, and
only had one rein to drive with. He, of course, had no
control over the horse. Police-constable Manley, 847, on
observing his condition, stopped the horse, and took the
defendant into custody. Accused, who is a very tall,
powerful man, immediately seized the constable and twice
threw him over his shoulder; from the effects of
which he spat blood during the whole night. On
his way to the station defendant resisted violently and
kicked the constable, and on his way to the station • seized
a two-pound weight and was about to throw it at him,
when ho was prevented by a bystander. He was violent
to other constables who came to Manley's assistance.
Defendant said that he met with some friends who had
treated him to drink until he hardly knew what occurred.
He considered his friends had been his enemies in giving
him the drink.

Mr. Arnold thought ho was his own enemy in taking it.
His conduct had been fraught with danger to the public,
and when apprehended he had committad a violent assault,
aggravated by his seizing the weight to throw at tho
officer.

Committed to hard labour for a month, and to find bail
for three months.

ACCIDENT TO MR. MONK, M.P.—We regret to
hear that our respected representative, C. J. Monk, Esq.,
has sustained a serious accident by falling through two
skylights. One rib was broken and several severe bruises
inflicted. Happily he was not seriously cut by the glass,
and his escape may be considered s, most providential one.
fie is now fast recovering.—Gloucester .Journal.

while business in the tallow market has continued
moderately active, and quotations for both present

pointed Friday, the 18th inst., a special settling
