LAW AND POLICE.

FRAUD BY A SOLDIER.—AIfred Jenkins, a private of
the 24th Foot, was brought before Mr. Knox, at the

Marlborough Police-court, on a warrant, charged with
obtaining a feather bed of the value of £3, by false pre
tences, with intent to defraud Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, of
Bird-street, Oxford-street. Lizzie Butler, of No. 29,
George-street, Grosvenor-street, said that on the 15th
August, the prisoner came to her and asked for a bed she
had to mind for Mrs. Brooks, saying he bad been sent
by her for it, and believing his story she gave
it to him. Mrs. Brooks, of Bird-street, Oxford-street,
said she never sent the prisoner for the bed.
Mr. Frank Aldous, pawnbroker, of Berwick-street, Soho,
said the bed was pledged on the 15th of August for 235.
Philip Shrives, a detective of the C division, said that on
apprehending the prisoner at Chatham Barracks, he at
first denied knowing Mrs. Brooks, and said he knew
nothing of the bed, but afterwards admitted he was the
man he (the officer) wanted, but that he did not like the
other soldiers to know ; and he also said it was all through
the drink. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial.
VIOLENT STREET OUTRAGE.—CharIes Brooker, alia
Stone, a costermonger, standing over six feet high, was
charged at the Westminster Police-court with a desperate
assault on Edward Craydon, a broker's man. Complainant
said he was talking to a friend, and the prisoner cameup and
asked his friend if heknew who he was talking to; his friend
replied in the negative, and then prisoner said prosecutor
was a policeman ; his friend turned and said he required an
explanation, and complsinant said to prisoner " I don't
know what you mean." Prisoner then crossed from the
pavement, put one arm across his breast, and cross-
buttocked him; he was paralysed in the leg and much
hurt, and the prisoner, as soon as he rose from the ground
threw him down in a similar manner and knelt on him ;
he got up and told the prisoner if he struck him again he
would use a hammer he was carrying ; prisoner then
rushed at him and threw him down, knelt on him, and
struck him three violent blows in the mouth. He did not
use the hammer at all, but gave it up to a friend who was
present. Remanded for a week.

THE DUBLIN AMBULANCE CORPS.—A letter from
Dublin states that the Irish Ambulance Corps, number-
ing 250 men, with horses, waggons, &c., paraded the
Rotunda-gardens, Dublin, on Friday in presence of a
large number of spectators. The rench steamer La
Fontaine, which arrived off the port, was expected to leave
with the corps on Sunday. The national papers hint that
on reaching France the men will join the regiment now
forming a:Cherbourg.

THE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER.—A Philadelphia
correspondent writes to say that Mr. Morton will pro-
ceed to London at an early date. The writer adds—Mr.
Morton is in infirm health, but is one of the leading men
of the country, a strong Republican, and altogether of a
different class from that whence the President has been
drawing most of his appointments. Morton has great in-
fluence in the West, and his views on the Alabama con-
troversy are almost as pronounced as those of Mr. Sumner.
He may be regarded as a representative man of Ame-
rican ideas, and will be careful to do, or leave un-
done, nothing that will tend to lessen his popularity at
home.
