DOGS.

NARY r.r.now E POLICE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday Mr. Engley,
a very respectable tradesman in Oxford-street, appeared at this
°like on summons, to answer the complaints of .Mary Gibbs,
a woman of very decent and interesting appearance, who stated
that she was the mother of five children, one of whom, a little
girl about three years old, which she hela.in. her arms, had been
bitten that morning in .the ebeek by a dog belonging to Mr. E.
which was permitted to rain foOse and unmuzzled about the yard
in which his premises are situated,: and through which a great
many persons are under the .neeessity of passing, in order to
have access to their dwellings. Another child of tiers had been
bitten by the same dog about three months ago. . The cheek of
the infant was very. niuCh swollen, and its sufferings must un.
doubtedly have been great, two considerable wounds having been
made by the animal's teeth,
cessary to make an to which a surgeon had found it ne.
application of lunar caustic. Th e dog, a red
wirehaired terrier was brought to the office, and his appear.
ance would certainly lead to the conclusion that ho was an
animal of considerable ferocity, notwithstanding the repeated
declarations of his owner that he was perfectly quiet and harm.
less. Mr. Engley, with whom the dog, a very tine one of hi-
breed, was evidently a favourite, said, that he had found it ne-
cessary to keep an animal of that description on his premises as
a guard monist the depredations of a number of low and SUS.
picioliS characters in his neighbourhood. He was willing,
however, to adopt any precaution that could be SUagested against
the recurrence of a similar accident, and even offered to have the
dog killed at once if the Magistrate wished it. He also under-
took to defray the expellees of the surgeon's attendance on the
ehild.L=Fte was ordered to enter into a recognisance not to allow
the dog to go at large unmuzzled.

rious articles of valuable property; and Letitia Wrig ht was

charged with receivin the same, knowing them to be stolen.
Col. Hutchinson, w IrQ resides with his. uncle, Lord Ilutchin-
son, at his hounein-1i ulattrale-street;, stated, that having occa-

his tittisks, desk', tte',;, at I.4rd Hutchinson's; and on his return
a few days ngo, he found that the prisoner had gone away, and
that his desk awl one. of his trunks had been forced open, and
the principal part of their contents carried off.
Clements, me Of the effieeti of-this establishment, stated,
that in consequence of information he received he apprehended
the prisoner (Flattery) that morning at Lord Hutchinson's
house, he having gone to visit one of the servants there, not
knowing that the• Colonel had returned. On searching the pri.
soner he found in his pocket the gold snuff box now produced, i
and which the prisoner acknowledged having taken; but denied 1
'All knowledge of the etheepitrperty. The officer, however, as.
certained that he lived ..with some woman, and traced out' the
female prisoner as pat person ; and . on going to her lodgings in
North. street, he told her that he was sent by Flattery for such
and such articles, naming them, and she immediately handed
him all the property now-produced 4 and he took 'her into cue.
tody. This propertyceonsisted of shirts, neckcloths, stockings,
a number of valuable tinge, gold seals, chains, brooches,
-the whole of which Got Hutchinson identified as his property;
indeed,
.the shirts had,his name marked on them ; but the Co-
kinel said, that independent of this mark, he should instantly

workmanship, made in Paris.
The prisoner Flattery said, that he did .not deny taking the
snuff.box, but that was all:of the property he knew any thing

l'heftn eale prisoner said, that .Flattery brought the property
found with her to her lodgings, in a bundle, . and told her to
take date of .it t,' but she had no knowledge either of what the
bundle..contaitled, or that it-was stolen. •
Mr. CosraNT, Ole NE)44l9;rilte, aMd, that if that was the
case, she war the least curious of any woman he ever knew.

some more of the missing property.

EARL or KELLIE.—A Meeting of Lieutenancy was held at
Cupar on Tuesday, upon which occasion, a dinner was gill:
to the Lord Lieutenant, by the Deputy lieutenants.
mark of respect, was paid to his Lordship, on the occasion of R. 4
assuming the functions of his Majesty's Lieutenant of the
county, on his recent elevation to that high dignity, and :bet'
was only one feeling among those present, of the deepest
spect for his Lordship's long and distinguished sersi:es.,t_w
the county, during the many years in which he has floe:lifts°.
Vice-Lieutenant of Lord Morton. The dinner had beehari
ranged under the management of the Earl of Leven, General
Hope, Captain Wemyss, and Mr. Thomson of Charlton :
we have seldom witnessed an assemblage, where more kind'
ness and attention were shown, on the one hand, to the nobl
person, who honoured the Lieutenancy with his company;
the deep feeling of gratitude on the other, which his Lords e?
evinced for the mark of respect thus shown to him. The chair
was ably filled by the Earl of Leven—Captain Wetly:a Ad"
ing as Croupier. The Chairman paid a well merited compli':
mcnt to his Lordship, for his uniform care and attention'
to the business of the county; when he proposed, after &
most eloquent introduction, the Noble Earl's health, in d'..4!
early part of the evening ; and the warmth of feeling, by which
the expressions of regard conveyed in the speech of the
Noble Chairman, were met by the Lord Lieutenant, it
once spoke his gratitude for the kindness ahewn to hint:
and his wish to retain the good opinion of the !Acute'
nancy. During the evening, many toasts were given with.
most appropriate introductions, and no one was fOrgOttsl
who had ever borne a share in the public business of if*
county, or who had in any way contributed to its welfare, or
its honour. On a former occasion, Lord Kellie had agreed W
sit for his portrait, to be placed in the County Ball • and tbf,
subscription for that purplse has been already proceeded in w;
a considerable extent._( Fife licrald.)

A venerable-looking old lady, 80 years (4010
residing in Lambeth, of the name of Susannah James, n'q,
yesterday evening passing through Carlisle-lane, in that FLIT"'
when, owing to imperfect vision, she mistook the centre of th:
road, which was two feet below It, for a continuation Of the
foot-path, and fell with great violence. The sad effects
which mischance was, the breaking the right thigh-hone, tics/4.
to the hip-joint." She was conveyed immediately to tv
Hospital, where she still is, but without hope of a
cure
