fendant was an entire stranger to him, he felt that it
would be impossible to put him on the footing of a gen-
tleman, and most prudently had not made the matter
the subject of a brawl at the club, but had given him in
to vindicate himself through the
statement made by Mr. Clarkson, that
law.cha charge offte therthpeolice,
the assault was committed under mistake and in an
excited moment, and the full and handsome apology
that had been tendered, Captain Garth felt that it would
be almost vindictive to press for any punishment which
would degrade the defendant. All he desired was, a
guarantee against such conduct for the future, and he
(Mr. Dearsley) thought that under the circumstances of
the case great forbearance had been displayed by the
prosecutor.
The Assistant-Judge said he could not but rejoice at
this termination of the case. As far as Capt. Garth was
concerned his conduct was that of a gentleman of high
mind and honour, and the facts spoke more strongly
than anything that could fall from the court. The
defendant had only done that which every gentleman
under such circumstances ought to do, he had admitted
his error and apologised. The sentence was, that he be
fined one shilling, and enter into a recognisance in the
sum of 5001., with two sureties of 2501. each to keep
the peace towards Capt. Garth and all her Majesty's
subjects for twelve months.
The recognisance and the sureties were at once en-
tered into.

Georgians Chatten surrendered to answer an indict-
ment in which she was charged with inflicting grievous
bodily harm upon James Chatten, her husband, and with
a common assault.

This case wail before the court at the last session here,
and was mentioned. The prosecutor was the keeper of
a coffee-house, No. 5, Middle•row South, Knightsbridge,
and the case was postponed with the view to an arrange-
ment between him and the defendant.

Mr. Parry now said that the defendant would plead
guilty to the common as:ault. It was an unhappy quar-
rel between husband and wife, and an arrangement of a
satisfactory kind had been•come to. The mother of the
defendant would enter into a recognisance for her keep-
ing the peace, which it was hoped would be satisfactory
to the court. Something had been said in the case about
the proFecutor's house being disreputable. This was
quite without foundation ; it was nothing of the kind,
and the imputation arose from a servant of bad character
having lived there, but she was not there now.
The defendant then pleaded guilty to the common
assault.

The Assistant.Judge—Then the sentence upon you is,
that you be fined one shilling, and do find one surety in
the sum of 201. to keep the peace towards your husband
for twelve months.

The surety was given, and the defendant left the court
with the prosecutor.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.-- Charle's A. Noedl, who a
few days ago was charged upon suspicion of having
altered two bills of exchange, well-knowing that they
had been forged, was brought up for reexamination.
Mr. Mullens of the firm of Bush and Mullens, solici-
tors to the committee of bankers for protection against
felony and fraud was in attendance. Mr. Wontner
attended for the prisoner.
The justice-room was crowded with respectable per-
sons, who seemed to be greatly interested upon the

occasion.
The bills, it will he recollected, had been sent from
Turin, directed to 15, Upper St. Martin's-lane, to
Count Louis Rainari de Sanazar, and had been taken
by the prisoner, who keeps a cigar divan at No. 10,
Upper St. Martin's-lane, to the house of Messrs. Morris,
Prescott, and Co. for acceptance, and the prisoner a few
days afterwards received the amount upon presenting
them at the house of Glyn and Co., bankers, of Lom-
bard-street.
The following is a sketch of the proceedings of yester-
day.

The prisoner, who had been bailed on Tuesday by two
highly respectable persons, appeared at the appointed
time.
Edmond Carter, postman at the General Post•ofce,
said—l delivered this letter at about half-past nine
o'clock, on the 20th of January, according to the di-
rection.

Cross-examined—I deliver the foreign letters in that
district. Ido not think a week passes over without my
delivering foreign letters at the house of the prisoner,
where I generally see the prisoner's wife.
Mr. Benjamin Latchford, of No. 11, Upper St. Mar-
tin's-lane, bit and spur maker, said—l airs the landlord
of the prisoner. On the morning of Friday, the 20th of
January, he brought me those two bills, and asked me
to discount them. The name Count L. R. Sanazar was
on each of them at the time.
Cross-examined—I have known the prisoner about 11
months as a housekeeper there all that time : he keeps
a cigar divan, and I believe his house is very much
frequented by foreigners. I have known the house,
No. 10, where the real Count Louis R. de Sanazar lives.
I knew that old gentleman by sight full 15 years, but I
never heard his name until this transaction took place.
When the prisoner took the house of me I made in-
quirks about him. Amongst others to whom he re
terred rue were Lord Dudley Stuart and his secretary,
from whom I received the most perfect satisfaction as to
his respectability. He has conducted himself in the
most honourable and gentleman-like mariner, and I be-
lieve that he was in the Hungarian army, and is a per-
son of very good family. I have been given to under-
stand that foreigners have their letters addressee to his
house. He is married to an English lady. When he
asked me to discount the bills there was nothing in his
manner in the slightest degree suspicious. I pressed upon
him the necessity of finding the man who had claimed
the letter in which the bills had been contained. The
witness then detailed at considerable length, the
particulars of the transaction as mentioned by
the prisoner, and they were such as were calculated to
impress everybody with a conviction that the prisoner
was perfectly innocent, and that he had been the dupe of
some fellow who had by some means learned that the
Count de Sanazar expected, and was in the habit of re-
ceiving, remittances from Turin.
The Lord Mayor asked a number of pointed questions
of the witnesses, and

Mr. Mullens submitted that enough had been shown
to justify the committal of the prisoner, who had, in his
opini•n, exhibited much ingenuity in the whole of the
proceedings by mixing up apparent candour and sim-
plicity in a most dangerous plot, to accomplish success
with impunity.
• The Lord Mayor—The case is indeed a very extraor-
dinary one. The prisoner appears, from the evidence of
respectable parties, a man of unexceptional character,
and I must say that his statements are consistent, and
that the openness of the acknowledgments he has made
operate powerfully in his favour. I, however, consider
that the facts that he received the letter containing
the bills, and that he received the money for those
bills, are such as to call for a more close inquiry
and I shall therefore postpone the case for a week,
in order that an opportunity may be afforded for
the production of more evidence. Under the present
circumstances, I consider that the prisoner is bound to
bring forward the man who imposed upon him as the
real Count Louis de Sanazar ; but I shall say nothing
more to prejudice the case, and I am sure Mr. Mullens
has no disposition to do anything of the kind.
The case was then adjourned for a week, and bail was
immediately tendered and received for the appearance of
the prisoner upon that occasion.

The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac-
knowledge his receipt of a 51. note, No. 75,062 from
"M.R.N." for the poor-box.

MARYLEBONE.—Mr. Thomas °or(Ton, chief officer
n the audit departmen: of the London and North
Western Railway Company at the Euston station,
was brought before Mr. Broughton, on remand,
charged with having defrauded the company to the
amount of several thousand pounds. The prisoner was
in the first instance charged with embezzlement on
Tuesday, the 31st nit., when no more evidence was
then gone into than was sufficient to justify a remand.
Mr. Humphrey; on behalf of the company, stated the
nature of the charge against the prisoner, which was
that he had taken a sum amounting to 2,1841. 14s. 4d.,
between. October 11 and November 1, the property of
the company, which he had not accounted for. The
money was received on account of the goods department,
at the Tipton, Spon, Smethwick, and Deepfield stations
of the Stour Valley line.
Mr. Soar, attached to the Birmingham station, de-
posed that he had received letters from the prisoner
dated the 15th, 25th, 29th, and 31st of October, and
the Ist of November, 1853, in which he acknowledged
the receipt of the money, the ground of the present
charge, which was on account of the goods department
on the Stour Valley line. (The letters were produced.)
In answer to Mr. Broughton, the witness stated that
he took instructions from the prisoner, who he under-
stood was entrusted with all cash affairs. The money
was sent to him by the directors. The prisoner was for-
merly treasurer of the Grand Junction line in the north.
He (witness) was never told that he was not to receive
the money.
Frederick Whittle, clerk in the audit department at
the Euston-square station, said that the prisoner's duties
were to examine remittances and to take credit on the
goods accounts current which came up from the country
stations in the early part of October. Finding that the
remittances were not as usual, he had a communication
with the prisoner, who stated that the audit committee
had decided on having the cash from the line sent direct
to London ; that he was receiving the money, and that
he had special instructions from Captain Huish respect-
ing the money. The sums he ought to have received
were 559/. 10s. 7d. from Deepfields 1,0131. Bs. 9d. from
Tipton, 4381.65. 10d. from Spon Lane, and 173/. 7s. 2d.
from Smethwick.
By Mr. Humphrey—No one had to look over the pri-
soner's accounts but the committee.
Mr. Wm. Waley, assistant cashier at the Euston-sta-
tion of the London and North Western Railway Com-
pany, said that his duty was to receive money from
Mr. Soar for the goods station on the Stour Valley
line. From the 11th of October to the Ist November,
he had received no money. He had received money
since, but he could not tell on what account. The money
should have been paid to him. (The goods account-book
was produced.)
Mr. Broughton— Do you mean to say that the money
ought to have been sent direct to you ?
Witness--Yes ; the instructions to the station clerk
are to that effect.
Mr. Broughton—Were you aware that the sums from
the Stour Valley line were to be sent to the prisoner ?
Witeess—No, I was not aware that any arrange-
me
Londnts were made for the money to be transmitted to
on.
Mr. BroutAten
lyitne,i-- —Whit did you suppose ?
That, it Wa.; transtaittu,/ to Lll,. BaLk at Dir•
miugharn, which was usual.
By Mr. Humphrey—.I was not aware that any altera-
tion had been made by the audit committee, that the
