THE QUEEN V. TRAVIS.

Mr. irAYS applied for a certiorari to remove the depot
sitions in this Case into this Court, and for a rule
nisi to admit the defendant to bail in the country.
It appeared that the prisoner had been.committed by a
Magistrate of Lancashire, for felony, on. a charge of wil-
fully and maliciously stabbing a horse. In the depositions
it appeared that the defendant was the son of a small
farmer, and was, with his father, working on his father's
farm, -when Mr. Entwistle, who was out hunting, entered
Mr. Travis's groundS with his hounds, and accompanied
by several persons.- That hearing a noise of hounds, he
rode up to the place from whence the noise proceeded, and
found the defendant attacking the hounds with a
p:tchfork, with which_be had been previously working,
and the huntsman remonstrating With him, and that-Mr.
Entwistle said they were trespasring, and would get out
of the field as .soon as they could, when the defendant
struck the pitchfork into Mr. Entwistle's horse. On their
depositions Travis had been committed for febny. Now
he submitted that even on those depositions there was
no reason for committing the prisoner for felony, but
his affidavits showed that Mr. Entwistle had
frequently had notice not to trespass on the ;rounds of
Mr. TraviS in his hunting excursions. That Travis had
repeatedly suffered from• Mr. Entwistle's trespasses, and
that Entwistle had read and observed upon a notice
which Travis had put up Warning persons not to trespass
on his farm.. That on the morning in question Travis's
son had warned Entwistle not to trespass, and
that on hearing the noise Entwistle had rode
up to the spot at a furious rate, had attempted to ride
Travis down, who hail held out his pitchfork in self-de-
fence, and that Entwistlehad ridden against it.
Mr. Justice l'ArrEsoNTake a certiorari, and your
rule to show cause.—Application granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
111A1VSION-HOUSE.
A Spaniard, named Jose Joaquina Goncalva Basto,
;was charged, on Monday, by the firm of Pinto, Perez,
and Co., No. 36, Crutched-friars, merchants, with hav-
ing obtained from them some warrants, o the value of
5001., under false pretences.
.Mr. Theodore F. Pinto stated that Mr. Baste called at
the house, and purchased sherry wines, for which he
was to pay upon delivery, to the amount of 7001. Upon
paying a deposit of 3001., Mr. Baste received part of the
wines • to that amount by a transfer order on the St. Ka-
tharine's Docks, and subsequently he called to take the
rest of the wines, and, as witness supposed, to pay the,
balance, as a matter of course. The money, however
was not produced, and Mr. Basto was informed that the
agreement was that the wines could only be delivered
upon the discharge of the balance. He stated then that
he had sold the wines; that, if any delay took place, his
credit would be injured ; and that he had sold them
through the house of Mr. John Mitchell, of Old
Broad-street. This representation was accompanied by
assurances that the transfer order should be immediately
returned. Not wishing that the credit of .Mr.
Basto should suffer, witness consented to give.him the
transfer order for the remaining portion of the wines
upon that condition.. This transaction took plane on the
Friday, and at a late hour in the day, Mr. Basto called,
and stated that Mr. Mitchell would not accept the
transfer order, and would not be satisfied with anything
but the wine warrants themselves, and that if they were
produced everything would be ready in the morning.
Witness said he lied no objection to let Mr. Basto hate
the wine warrants till next day, upon the assurance of
strict attention to the agreement. The wine warrants
were deliverecl, but, to the surprise of witness, Mr. Basto
did not make his appearance at the appointed time. It
was then considered necessary by the firm to send one
clerk to the St. Katharine's Docks, to inquire about the
wine warrants,: and another to the hou4e of Mr. Mitchell,
to ascertain the nature of the transaction between that
gentleman and Mr. Basto. At both places the reports
were unfavourable, for the warrants had been brought to
the Docks, and Mr. Mitchell declared that he had had no
transactions with Mr. Basto for years.
The LORD MAYOR—You let Mr. Baste have the wine
warrants to show Mr. Mitchell that he was in possession
of the wines. Witness—Yes. I did not wish to do any
harm to his credit, and of course entertained no suspi-
cion as to the intention of Mr. Basto.
Mr. George Allan Mitchell, of the house of John
Mitchell'and Co., of No. 9, Broad-street, stated that the
firm had not recently had any transactions with Mr.
Baste. If Mr. Basto did any business with the firm wit-
ness would know the fact.
The Loan MAYOR—Did Mr. Basto lately call at your
house to offer wines for sale ? Witness—Not at all.
Mr. T. Ferriera Pintas--Mr. Basto said in his conver-
sation with me that the wines had been sold by a party
in the country.
The LORD MAYOR (to Mr. Mitchell)—Did you receive
an order from the country to pay f'or wines to Mr. Baste?
Mr. Mitchell—No. Nothing of the kind occurred.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Basto, what have you
to say to this charge against you ?—Mr. Basto said, that
having bought wines at a cheap rate at the house of
Messrs. Pinto and Co., he went thither to purchase a
considerable quantity ; and he said he wanted therh for
a party in the country, for the purpose of getting them
at as reasonable a price as possible. He was pressed
very much for a balance at the time of the dealing, and •
he asked a friend to assist him. That friend could not
itgeOMpliSh the ol.tject, without having some authority
upon which to raise the'eaA, and he (Mr. Pinto).gave
him the order to procure the temporary accommodation
upon them. There was no intention whatever to do any
thing wrong, and Mr. Pinto would find that attempts
had been made to get the money necessary to pay the
amount of the demand.
The LORD MAYOR—This is an ugly way of raising
money, Mr. Basto. Mr:Basto—l assure you it is not
what is Called " raising the wind."
The LORD MAYOR—It is not the. way to allay the
wind, believe me. Mr. Basto—l have had dealings with
Mr. Mitchell's house, and that and other houses have
sbad confidence in me.. - _
Thelaaan MAYOR—This is a strong ease against you.
You are here charged with having obtained documents
foi, the delivery of wines under a false pretence. Mr.
Basto—l had no intention to defraud.
The LORD MAYOR—Where are the warrants ?
Basto—l handed them to my friend.
The LORD MAYOR—It is evident that you used the
name of Mr. Mitchell in the transaction, because you
knew it was above all suspicion.
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for the prosecution, said
that the false pretence was quite palpable.
The LORD MAYOR—Can you get the wine warrants
from your friend directly ? Mr. Basto—l do not know
where he is now.
The LORD Mivon—That won't do, Mr. l3aito. What
value do the warrants represent ? Mr Pinto—Five
hundred pounds.
The LORD Masots—Pray what is your friend's name,
Mr. Baste ? Mr. Basto-:--Mr. Campbell is his name.
The Loan Mason. -You have sold the warrants to
Mr. Campbell ? Mr. Basto—Certainly not. I Will be
able to show that the transaction is perfectly fair.
The Loan, MAYOR—You had better say nothing about
it. I happen to understand something about mercantile
transactions. I shall adjourn this case. It stands over
till this day week, and you may go at liberty Mr. Baste,
upon procuring two surc ties in 500/. each, and brine.
bound yourself in the sum of 1,000/.
Mr. Bastes.-There is nothing fraudulent in the trans-
action, and this is most unjust. It will be found that I
have been., perfectly correct.
The. Lotus MAYOR—I tell you, you had better say no-
thine; at all about it.
Mr. Pasco was then taken
,by Daniel Forrester, who
apprehended him, to the Compter.
GUILDHALL.
On Monday a lad, named Thomas Cook, was brought
before Sir J. Key, charged with picking pockets in view
of the gallows.
John Hicks, of Pitt-street, Kent-road, stated that as
he was standing, about nine o'clock that morning, at the
top of Fleet-lane, opposite the gallows, lie felt some one
at his pocket, and caught the prisoner's hand in it, and
his handkerchief partly out. He seized the prisoner by
the collar, but the people standing by hooted him for en-
. deavouring to secure him. He, however, kept his hold
till he delivered him to a policeman. The prisoner had
a companion, but witness did not attempt to detain both.
The prisoner said he was a lucifer-maker, residing at
Westminster. It was the other led who tried to steal the
handkerchief, and lie was not his acquaintance.
L Sir J. KEY committed him to Bridewell for one month.

IfATTON- GARDEN.
Of the several cases heard on Monday fit this office four
were those of fathers compelled to prosecute their own
sons upon charges of felony. The prisoners involved in
these charges were all of them under age, and though
the presiding Magistrate appeared most willing t 6 afford
facilities for their return to honest practices, the parents
in all the cases were compelled to admit, though after se-
vere struggles, that any attempt at correction by further
leniency would be .utterly unavailing. In two cases the
witnesses against the delinquents were their own
brothers, one a child of apparently not more than
five years old, who, of course, was not sworn ; the
other a lad of twelve, who seemed to suffer much,
though the prisoner (aged seventeen) did not seem to
be in the slightest degree moved by the difference which
their positions presented—the one a ragged, reckless
wretch ; the other a well-dressed intelligent-looking boy;
whilst the father, who seemed to be of the class of second-
rate shopkeepers, and who frequently retired to a corner
of the court to conceal or repress his tears, could not
trust himself to look upon the wretched creature at the
bar. The prisoner in the last of these cases did not
appear to be above fifteen years old, but was described
as utterly incorrigible, and his own admission bore out
the fact, inasmuch as he expressed a desire to be trans-
ported. Three of the ,eases were committed for trial to
the Central Criminal Court, the fathers in each instance
being bound over to prOiecnte.-
MARLBORO LIG FP:STREET.

•
Maurice Alderman, ungi. sturdy beggar, WAS.
pined at the bar. -•
Police-sergeant No. t 6, Ofi.tke division, stated that
about six o'clnck on Iliinday hight he. saw the prisonei. in-
Grosvenor-square, begging of.evei-'person he met with.
To females that were :".;.one his manner was fierce and
intimidating, and a knobVikidgeon he had, with him,
which he sometimes made _a p*Aext of assisting him; to
walk with, he held up with ,what;'' trany. persona would
consider a threatening gesture.:. He took him into Cus-
tody, and had conveyed bun as far as Vigo-street, ate-
gent street, on the way to the station-house, witen'4he
prisoner suddenly turned upon him and made a blow
with all his might with the thickest end of the bludgeon
at his head, but he moSt.-Jortunately parried it, but-re-
ceived it on his shonl4er;c and was instantly felled to the
ground. The prison,Ohen set off running, but witness
regained his feet, pursued, and secured him.
The prisoner was committed for two months to .hard
labour.
