LAW AND POLICE.

REFRACTORY PAUPERS. Pour casual paupers were
brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court,
charged with refractory conduct in the casual ward of the
Mile-end Old-town Workhouse, Bancroft-road. Two of
them, able-bodied fellows, would not break any stones,
after they had received a night's lodging and rations for
supper and breakfast. Mr. Paget asked them why they
did not work in return for the benefits they had received, to
which they replied that they wero not accustomed to break
stones. Mr. Paget : You should have tried. You are not to
select the kind of work the guardians require you to per-
form. You are sentenced to one month's imprisonment
and hard Tabour. Two other able-bodied paupers were
charged with destroying their own clothes, and each a pair
of trousers provided for them. The prisoners said their
own clothes were filthy, dirty, and ragged, and they
could not seek or obtain work with such things
on them. They tore up the trousers because
they were impressed with letters and red chalk. Mr.
Paget : How is that ? The labour master said the trousers
had been worn by dock labourers and they might have
been marked and lettered by them with red ochre. The
canvas trousers were in the precise state in which they
were received by the Guardians, and must have been
marked before-they came into their hands. Mr. Paget
sentenced the prisoners to 21 days' imprisonment, with
hard labour.

ROBBERY BY A BARISIAM.--JOhn Barber, a bar-
man, in the employ of Mr. C. B. Buer, landlord
of the Champion Tavern, Wellington Street,
Oxford Street, was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing a florin, the money of his master.
The prosecutor said that for some time past, having
suspected the prisoner, who was his barman, of robbing
him, last night he watched him, and saw him take some-
thing from the till and then put his hand to his head, and
he then distinctly saw in his hand a florin. He told the
prisoner he had robbed him, and he said he had not, and
that he only had two shillings in his pocket, at the same
time trying to get away. He afterwards gave the prisoner
into custody. In answer to the prisoner, the prosecutor
said the reason why he did not discharge him, as ho
suspected him, was because he wanted to detect him, as
he paid him well and fed him well, and had no right to be
robbed. Police-constable Marshall, 206 E, said that at
the station three shillings and a florin were found on the
prisoner, who mixed them together. The prisoner told
him he had a box with £1 in it, but he found £1 13s. in it,
and in a coat pocket 12 half-sovereigns, also a suit
of superfine clothes and a ticket for four for the dress-
circle at Drury-lane Theatre. In reply to Mr. Knox, the
witness said he had reason to believe he had been exten-
sively robbed. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for
three months', with hard labour.
THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S BANKRUPTCY. —ln the
Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, a motion was made
in the case of the Duke of Newcastle, it being on behalf
of the bankrupt by Mr. Inunns, of the firm of Messrs.
Lewis, Inunns, and Company, to extend the time for
surrendering to the Court. Mr. Innuns stated that the
period fixed for the surrender was the 24th of November,
but negotiations were now pending for effecting an
amicable settlement of all the claims, and thus rendering
further proceedings unnecessary. The time at present
fixed was too close for completing the arrangements, hence
the motion. There being no opposition on the part of the
petitioning creditor, Mr. Registrar Roche acceded to the
application.
ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FRAUDS AND RESTITUTION.—At
the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Justice Lush,
Jonas Wolf, aged 26, was indicted on several counts for

stealing a very large quantity of rags, and also with con-
spiring with another man, named Jevons, to obtain the
same. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the conspiracy.—
Mr. F. H. Lewis, for the prosecutor, said that since the
prisoner had been in custody, he had made all the resti-
tution in his power, and had sent a draft for £l,OOO,
which would nearly cover the value of the rags obtained.
Under these circumstances the prosecutors were desirous
of withdrawing from the prosecution, and allowing the
accused to go at large on his own recognisance to appear
if called on to do so. After some conversation, the learned
Judge allowed this course to be adopted.
THE ALLEGED MURDER AT GREENWICH.—John Tan-
teny pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to the manslaughter
of his wife, Frances Tanteny. Owing to the miserable
way in which the prisoner lived, the case, when before the
magistrate, created a large amount of attention.—
Mr. Besley, for the prisoner, said his client was indicted
for the murder of his wife ; but the grand jury threw out
the bill. The prisoner, his wife and seven children lived
in one little underground room. On the day in question,
Tanteny came home, and was having a meal, when his
wife compained of the son, who was sixteen years old,
because he had been impudent, and had refused
to go out and sell some shrimps when he
knew how much a few pence were wanted.
On hearing this Tanteny got into a rage, and threw a
knife with the intention of striking the boy. The latter
moved out of the way, and the knife struck the deceased,
and from the wound thus inflicted Mrs. Tanteny died.
Mr. Besley urged the previous good character of the
prisoner on the consideration of the court, and concluded
by making an ad misericordium, appeal to Mr. Justice
Lush. The learned judge said he would consider what
sentence he should pass.

The ex-Empress Eug6nie visited London again
yesterday.

Mr. Bruce, when in the north, waa offered and
accepted the freedom of the burgh of Banff. The cere-
mony is deferred for the present.
PAUPERISM AND PUBLIC-HOUSE HO URS.—At
the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Select Vestry on
Tuesday, a petition to Government was adopted, with one
dissentient, praying that further legislative restrictions
might might be adopted in reference to the earlier closing
of public and beer houses, with the object of checking the
increase of intemperance and pauperism.
THE STATUE OF THE QUEEN AT LIVERPOOL.—
The unveiling of the equestrian statue of the Queen
erected in front of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, which is
fixed for the 3d of November, will be a very interesting
ceremony. On the steps of St. George's Hall will be
placed about 1,000 children from the different local schools
and institutions. In the evening the mayor will give a
grand banquet at the Town Hall.

THE AURORA BOREALIS.—This phenomenon
reappeared in London on Tuesday night soon after dark-
ness had set in, and was quite as brilliant as on Monday.
People, however, were not again deceived, and did not
imagine that an enormous conflagration was raging, as
was generally supposed on the previous night, when not
only did the engines turn out, but hundreds of people ran
for miles in all directions, expecting to witness a terrible
fire.

THE IRISH CHURCH CONVENTION.—At the sit-
ting of the Church Convention on Monday, says a Dub-
lin correspondent, Dr. Longfield called attention to the
fact that several members (of the Low Church party) had
received post cards having insulting remarks upon them.
The Mail publishes these thus :—J. Bloomfield Esq.,
`•
Brainless, blundering bumpkin." Lord James Butler,
"Blustering booby." Dane, Esq., "Damnable." J.
Ellison Mabartney, Esq., " Marplpt."
THE BISHOP OF MAN CHESTER ON EDUCATION.—
Before presenting the Oxford local examination prizes and
certificates at the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, on Mon-
day, the Bishop of Manchester said he thought that, as a
nation, we had been narrow in our views upon education;
and henceforth, in middle-class schools, a larger and
wider programme was necessary. The special result at
which the education of the middle classes should aim was
the production of more power and more refinement. The
period of education should be prolonged. Recreation also
was one means of education, and we required very much
a multiplication of innocent sources of public enjoy-
ment. This last remark was in defence of the recom•
mendation in a previous speech of such entertainments
as the theatrical representation of Shakspere's "Richard
III."

MHOW.—The improvement in the health of the
troops stationed at Mhow in 1868 may be taken as a good
illustration of the benefits that are likely to arise from the
adoption of ordinary sanitary measures at our Indian sta-
tions. The great diminution in the number of cases of
fever was remarkable. The ratio of admissions to hospital
from this disease fell from 940 per 1,000 in 1865 to 267 per
1,000 in 1868. In the interim between these two periods
considerable drainage works had been effected, and much
improvement made in the ventilation of the barracks. The
stables and litter depots had likewise been removed from
the windward side of the barracks. The opposite state of
things is exemplified at Jacobabad, where the rising of the
subsoil water line during the last few years has been coin-
cident with a large increase of fever. In 1868 the
admissions to hospital for fever were 2,740.
MARRIAGE OF EARL COWPER AND MISS COMPTON.
—On Tuesday morning the marriage of Earl Cowper
with Miss Compton (daughter of Lord William Compton)
took place at All Saints Church, Ennismore-place,
Princes-gate. The Rev. Lord Alwyne Compton
(uncle of the bride) officiated, assisted by the
Rev. Ferguson, the Rev. C. G. Lane and
the Rev. T. Huntley Greene, vicar of All Saints.
The bride was attended by. Lady Florence and Lady
Amabel Cowper, Miss Minnie and Miss Mabel Compton,
Miss Ashley, and Miss Fane, all of whom were dressed
in white silk with maroon sashes and trimmings. Lord
William Compton gave away his daughter, and Captain
Tower was the " best man" to the bridegroom. Among
those present to witness the ceremony were the
Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and Lady Vic-
toria Ashley, the Dowager Countess of Sefton, Earl
and Countess Brownlow, Dowager Countess Cowper, Earl
Roden, Viscount and Viscountess Sudley, Lady .Alwyne
Compton, the Right Hon. W. and Mrs. Cowper, Mr.
Courtenay, and a numerous congregation. A selection of
appropriate music was performed on the occasion. The
breakfast took place at the residence of the Marquis
of Northampton, on the Terrace, Piccadilly. In the
afternoon the happy pair left town for Compton Win-
yates.
