Clerkenwell, was summoned by the police for unlawful,
permitting gaming with cards in his house.—Mr.

costs.
CROPPING DOGS' EARS.—The absurd and cruel practil
of " cropping " the ears of dogs, for the purpose °e
making them look sharp, or enabling them to fancy,',
better in fight according to the brutal taste of the " f01c.70,1
is likely to be heard less of in future. At the Lie
e
Police-court Thomas Mulhern was summoned, at lot
instance of the Society for the Prevention of Crue be
to Animals, for causing a dog's ears Barris
cut, thus giving it great pain. Mr.ge
barrister, Midland Circuit, appeared for the society. f
said the present offence was that of cutting the ears
bull pup off at the roots, causing the animal
agony. The clipping of a dog's or horse's tail for use' t
purposes, he said, could not be objectionable ; but to it
a dog's ears off by the roots for the purpose of forming t
forfighting was an undoubted cruelty. It appeared tha
the act was done in the defendant's presence. This being
the first case the magistrates inflicted a penalty of 4 S.
only, with costs. xtre

to

been sent from Glasgow to Birmingham. The two prisouct;

doubt that Archer received the brooches from Dixon. b 4;

4th of May, a parcel containing a gold watch and Oven.
gold domes was sent to the Central Station for transfals,
sion to London. That parcel never reached its desti%

THE DEAD ALIVE.—A. curious story is - t

The keeper of the Morgue was astonished the next

introduced to a man in whom he recognised t the
missing charge. This man, a printer employed abjeet
office of the Gaulois, explained that he was T-fron'
