POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK.—On Saturday this court was
crowded to suffocation by persons connected with sport-
ing clubs and horse•racing, to hear the decision of Mr.
Conabe respecting the summonses partially heard last
week aga►nst John Robins, the alleged keeper and owner
of a coffee-house, situate at No. 204, Blackfriars-road,
for unlawfully keeping a betting-house, and John Palmer,
for aiding, assisting, and conducting the•same business,
contrary to the statute.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for Palmer, and Mr. Solomon.
for Robins.

Mr. Haynes, the superintendent of the M division,
attended to support the charge.
It appeared from the evidence of Henry Richards that
he went into the coffee-house, alleged to be kept by
Robins, on the 20th of July, and purchased a ticket for
the Brighton Stakes, for which he paid ls. On the day
of drawing he again went to the coffee-house, when
Robins told him that he had not members enough, and
he gave him a ticket for the Ebor Handicap. On the
23d August witness went to Robins's house and wit-
nessed the drawing. The defendant Robins put the
numbers into the box, and Palmer called out the names
of the horses, but he never heard that any one won. At
the same time Mr. Nichols, a baker, in Union-street,
Southwark-bridge-road, was there, and had two tickets,
which turned out blanks. Nichols bet Palmer 15 to 1
against Hermit, and 6 to 1 against Dr. O'Toole, and
paid Palmer 1./. in consideration of the bet.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Solomons,
and admitted that he acted as an informer, ai.d expected
to be paid for it. He paid his shilling, well knowing
that it was unlawful.

Mr. Clarkson asked under what act his client was
summoned ?

Superintendent Hayes replied the 16th and 17th Vic-
toria, cap. 119. The fourth clause was quite clear, that
any one carrying on, assisting, conducting, or keeping
a betting-house, was liab:e to penalties, &c. Palmer
was seen to assist Robins, who was the keeper of the
coffee-house.

Mr Solomons submitted that no proof had been ten-
dered that Robins was the owner or occupier of the house
according to the words of the act of Parliament. He,
therefore, asked his worship to dismiss the summons.
Mr. Hayes said Robins had sold Richards a ticket for
the Surrey Race Club, 204, Blackfriars-road ; and two
to Mr. Nichols, for which he received the money, and
that had been admitted on the last examination.

Mr. So'onions observed that there was no proof that
Robins was the owner or occupier of the coffee-house
in question.
Mr. Combo said he must dismiss the summons against
Robins, as no proof had been adduced that he was
actually the occupier of the house.
Mr. Clark4on then addressed his worship on behalf of
Palmer, contending that he knew nothing of Robins,
but went in accidentally, and met Mr. Nichols, with
whom he made a trifling bet unknown to Robins. If it
was otherwise, the greatest in this land would be likely
to be brought to a police-court for an alleged breach of
the law. He had something to do with the framing of
the Act of Parliament, and that was intended to do
away with betting houses. Palmer was not amenable
to that act. He knew nothing of Robins beyond going
to his lioue and meeting Mr. Nichols, with whom he
made two friendly bets, quite unknown to Robins.
After a very lengthy argument on both sides,

Mr. Combo said-there was no evidence to implicate
Palmer under the Betting Act ; therefore he must dis-
miss the summons as well as the other.

Mr. Combe was informed by Serjeant Golding, 7 M,
that an inquest had just been held at St. George's work-
house o❑ a male infant, 17 days old, the offspring of Jane
Harrington, who was charged on Thursday, at this
court, for administering poison to it, and cruelly ill-
treating it. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against her, and she will be brought up on Monday for
final examinntir'n.

Joseph Woodman, coal-merchant, 84, Cornwall-road,
was fined 51. for indecently assaulting Eliza Blackwell,
a respectable young girl, 14 years of age, who was in his
service, and, in default of payment, committed for two
months.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills infallible for
the cure of Bile and Sick Headache.—Mr. Patrick
M`Kernan, formerly of New Ross now of Colum-
bus, Ohio, states in a letter to, Professor Hollo-
way that he suffered for upwards of three years
from a bad stomach, pains in the head, and a
severe nervous debility, during which time he consulted
the most eminent medical men, but all is vain.
.He
therefore resolved to take no more of their medime,
and give Holloway's pills a trial, by taking them for a
short pe,iod. They bad the desired cocci, aeon .
p,li hi g a perfect cure, and he strongly recommend
e:nigrants not to leave Et,glard without a supply. So d
by all vendors of medicine, and at Professor Holloway's
EstAbliannent, 244, Strand, London.
