.POLICE. INTELLIGENCE.

Robert Ware, George Ware, and .Tames Martin, were
charged before Sir R. W. Carden wi.h having unlaw-
fully and wilfully sent a large quantity of beef unfit for
human food to Newgate, to the great detriment of the
public health.
The City Solicitor attended for the prosecution, Mr.
F. Campbell for the defence.
Robert Ware had been on a previous day charged
with the offence, and the evidence given against him on
that occasion involved the other two defendants.
The City Solicitor called the following additional evi-
dence :

• James Birchley (labourer) said—l am in the employ-
ment of Mr. Forrester, of Greenhitbe. On Saturday,
the 30th of September, I was at Greenhithe, and saw a
bullock drawn out of the water. I saw Robert and
George Ware cut its fore feet off. I saw Martin there
at the sime. It was dead at the time. Martin is, I
believe, a butcher. He did not take any part in the
dressing of the beast. He was a kind of superintendent
I heard him say when Robert Ware cut the throat of
the bullock that he wished it taken to his slaughter-
house to have it dressed and sent to London, and he
would give them a note where to send it to, and I made
answer to him that I would have no more beef steaks
out of his shop. Then he told them to get straw and
and have it dressed where it lay. I saw Robert Ware
stick the animal. It bled, and the colour was black
as far as I could see. There might be a quart or
a pottle of blood. I saw Mr. Fulijames there, and I
heard hid say if they sent the beast to London he would
write to the Lord Mayor. I left Martin there.
John Rastin, station-master at the railway at Green-
lithe, said on the evening of the 30th of September
Robert Ware came to the station, and brought four
quarters of a bullock to send to London by the railway.
George Ware was also there, but I did not see Martin.
The direction to Mr. Webb, .Newgate-market, was tied
on by George Ware. Robert Ware paid for the carriage,
and said he consigned the meat himself.
Cross-examined—l know all three defendants. Martin
is considered a highly respectable tradesman.
John Davis, waterman of Greennithe, said, on the
30th of September I found a dead ox in the river. One
of the horns was off. I helped. to tow it ashore, and
made it fast to a buoy close to the wharf. I was going
to sell it fur the dogs. I parted with it to Robert Ware,
and I was to be paid according to what he got for it. I
expected I should have something for the skin or part
of it.
Mr. Fisher, the inspector, said a vessel called the
Tiger came into the river with beasts on the 30th of Sep.
tember. She is not now in the port of London.

Cross-examined—This is a smothered bullock, not a
dropped bullock, and the inflammatory state of the
animal as being smothered would make it unfit for
human food.

George Barton (a former witness) said, on cross•exa.
mination, Robert Ware told me not to offor the meat

for sale till Mr. Pocklington saw it. I asked him if it
was to go to the boilers, and he said if Mr. Pock Hilton
thought fit. I know Mr. Martin. He is in the habit of
sending good meat to Mr. Webb.
Mr. Pocklington (inspector of markets) agreed with
Mr. Fisher in every respect as to the unfitness of the
meat for human food.

Mr. Campbell (for the defendant)—l will not conceal
from the bench that our defence is that the meat was not
offered for sale at all.

Sir R. W. Carden—The offence charged here is for
sending to a► public market meat unfit to be used as hu-
man food.
Mr. Campbell submitted that there was no case what-
ever, at any rate against Mr. Martin.
Sir R. W. Carden was quite of a different opinion.
One of the witnesses just stated that he had told Mr.
Martin he would never deal in the defendant's shop for
beef steaks again, and it was quite evident that Mr.
Martin was the principal mover in the business from the
nature of the superintendence described. Sir R. W.
Carden then said the three defendants must go before
another tribunal, upon the prosecution of the City Soli-
citor. Bail was then offered and accepted.

CLERKENWELL. Mr. Soper, secretary of the
Working Man's Emigration Society, attended before
Mr. Carrie with reference to the complaint of Edward
Gosnell.

Gosnell appeared and reiterated his statement, as to
his having paid his subscriptions to the society, with a
view- to be sent out to South Australia, and being re-
fused his money on making a proper application to the
directors of the society.
Mr. Soper replied that they were willing to send him
out, but in consequence of the prejudice created against
the society by the reports in the newspapers a great
number of persons had withdrawn their subscriptions,
and they had not at present sufficient funds. It would
require 90/. to send Gosnell and his family out to Aus-
tralia.

Mr. Corrie—Then, you mean to say you have not
90/. to send them out.
Mr. Soper—We have 1,0001. in dead stock. We have
received 81. now from Australia upon bonds of security.

Mr. Corrie—l think the press bai done a most im-
portant service to the public by making known the pro-
ceedings of the society. It is a matter of great import-
ance. Here is a poor man who .has accomplished all
required of him by the rules of the bociety, he has been
successful in the ballot, and you do not send him out,
and refuse to return him his money It ought to be
publicly made known, and I have no doubt it will, that
the society is receiving money from persons, and has no
funds to send them out to Australia according to the
terms proposed by them.
Mr. &Ter assured the bEnch that the trustees of the
society could not have any fraudulent intention.
Mr. Corrie—l have no doubt he (Gosnell) will be glad
enough to receive his money (221.) back, if you will re-
turn it to him.

Gosnell—Very glad, your worship.
Mr. Soper—l am not bound to return the money, and
the magistrate knows it.
Mr. Currie said he should advise Gomel] and the
other working men who were in the court, under simi-
lar circumstances, to go to a respectable solicitor, and
file a bill in Chancery against Sir John Shelley, Mr.
Tubbs, and Mr. Franklin, the trustees of the society ;
and the applicants having thanked the magistrate, pro-
ceeded to the office of Mr. %Vakeling, to consult with
him upon the matter.

LAMBETH.—Francis Robert Newton and William
Philip Newton, the sons of Mr. Augustus Newton, the
barrister, who have been frequently before this court on
a charge of committing a murders us assault upon the
person of Mr. Stewart Ker, on Friday, the 4th of Au-
gust last, in the pleasure grounds at Beulah Spa, Nor-
wood, attended before Mr. Elliott in discharge of their
heavy recognisances.
Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, and Mr. Parry, the bar-
rister, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Garwood,
solicitor attended on behalf of the prisoners.
There was very little doubt on the part of many who
heard the last examination that Mr. Ker and his friends
wished, if possible, to forego the further prosecution of
the matter, on account as it seemed of the unavoidable
implication of other parties in the disclosures which
must necessarily be made, and to day the whole affair
was brought to a conclusion by an announcement from
Mr. Parry, the prosecutor's counsel, that Mi. Ker would
be content, "on account of the delicate state of his
health," if the prisoners were bound over in their own
recognisances to answer any bill that might be preferred
against them at the sessions.
Mr. Elliott remarked that having tried every means
to bring the matter to a different result, he felt that the
case was at present fairly out of his hands, and he should
therefore hold the defendants to bail in their own recog-
nisances in 5001. each to meet any chArge that might Le
preferred against them at the sessions.
Mr. Garwood expressed a hope that the indictments
would not be preferred against his cliints at the next
session, after which
Mr. Parry assured him that nothing should be done
at all events till the November session.

The defendents were then bound over in their own re-
cognisances, and left the court in kigh spirits.
