drawn by his cousin, the barrack-master at Nenagh,
Ireland.
The particulars of what previously transpired have
already appeared.
Captain Joseph Hicks, the barrackmaster referred to,
denied all knowledge of the prisoner, and said that he
had never drawn a cheque on the Bank of Ireland in his
life.
The depositions in three cases were read over, and
the prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Charles Day, of Albert-
cottage, Albert-road, Mile-end, accompanied by several
other gentlemen residing in the same locality, attended
to request the magistrate's immediate interference for
the suppression of a dangerous nuisance.
The applicants reside near a plot of waste ground in
the occupation of the Eastern Counties Railway, and in
the centre of which was a capacious pond, used as the
receptacle for all sorts of filth and foetid matter. The
stench arising from the place compelled them to keep
their doors and windows constantly closed, and the
effects of the tainted atmosphere were such that five of
the children of Mr. Day were simultaneously attacked
with malignant fever, of which three of them died, and
were buried in one day.
Another of the applicants also complained that two
members of his family had fallen victims to the same
dangerous malady, which it was the opinion of the medi-
cal attendant was in all probability engendered by the
polluted condition of the air, arising from the nuisance
complained of.
Mr. Hammill said that he should forward a notification
to the railway officials, that unless the nuisance was at
once abated, the usual coercive means would be taken to
enforce the suppression.

HAMMERSMITH, William Thomas, who has fre-
quently been charged with stealing, was re-examined on
the charge of endeavouring to obtain two sovereigns from
a lady named Grace Leslie, residing at Gunter's-grove,
in the Fulham-roa,d, for the purpose of restoring a spa-
niel which had been stolen.
The particulars of this case were fully repored in this
journal on Monday last, and it will be remembered that
the prisoner was remanded for the attendance of wit-
nesses to prove another charge against the accused for
stealing a valuable dog belonging to the Countess of
Essex.

George Miller, footman in the service of the Countess
of Essex, residing at No. 21, Chesham-street, deposed
that on Friday morning, the 27th of May last, about
half-past seven o'clock, the housemaid turned out her
ladyship's dog, which was usually the custom to do every
morning, but it did not return to the house as it was in
the habit of doing after it had been about for some time.
The witness then produced the dog, which was one of
the old English " puff's," and was considered very valu-
able in consequence of the breed being scarce, and added
that the deg had since been returned to her ladyship.
Police constable M'Cullum, No. 194, B division, de-
posed to aging prisoner with the dog, and questioning
hitn respecting its ownership. Several days after he
took him into custody.
Mr. Paynter wished to know in what manner the dog
was restored to her ladyship
Mr. Bishop said he got the dog restored by employing
a man he knew, at the expense of between 51. and 6/.
Mr. Paynter asked if the person alluded to by Mr.
Bishop could not attend ?
Mr. Bishop thought not. The dog had been got back
to oblige her ladyship, who was very anxious about the
restoration of the doz.

The footman said the dog was brought home about a
fortnight after it had been lost.
The prisoner then said he wanted to ask the footman
who brought the dog back ?
The witness said one of Mr. Bishop's men.
The prisoner then said he should wish that man to be
brought forward, as he wanted to know who got the
dog, and how it was got. They could not make a clear
case unless the man was brought up, but it was quite
clear that Mr. Bishop was implicated in the matter.
Mr. Punter said he did not see any necessity for the
evidence of that man, as he thought the case was quite
clear, and made out ; but at the same time it would be
desirable that he should be in attendance, in case he
was required. . .

Another gentleman brought a similar charge against
the prisoner, who was ultimately remanded.
On Thursday Mr. Arnold withdrew the decision
which he had pronounced in the case of the cabdriver
Giles, on the charge of Mr. Gilbert A'Beckett, and
allowed the defendant to go at large on his own recog-
nisances for a week, in order to give him an opportunity
of proving his assertion that Mr. A'Beckett and his wit-
nesses were mistaken as to his identity.
