LAW AND POLICE.

UNENVIABLE POSITION OF PROSECUTORS. -- A very
respectable man came before Mr. Arnold, at the West-
minster Police-court, to be directed in the course he
should take against some persons who had robbed him.
He said that the parties in question, man and wife,
lodged in furnished apartments in his house. They stole
several things from the rooms, and then decamped to
Coventry, where they now were. y Mr. Arnold : You can
take a warrant for their apprehension, but I have no
means of sending an officer down to Coventry. If you
wish the warrant executed, you must pay for the officer
going into the country. Applicant : Can't you send the
warrant into the country, sir? Mr. Arnold : Yes, if you
will pay the cost, not otherwise. 1 have no means at
my disposal to send him. Applicant : It seems hard that
a man is to be robbed and that he is to have no redress
without going to a large expense. I thought people for
stealing could be taken any where for nothing. Mr.
Arnold : Not out of the Metropolitan Police District.
Applicant : Can't I get my property home from the
pawn-brokers—my lodgers have sent the duplicates ? Mr.
Arnold : Not without payment, I think, unless you pro-
secute. Applicant : That's very hard, as I am quite
willing to prosecute if it was not for the difficulties
thrown in my way. I suppose they may be taken if they
come to London ? Mr. Arnold : Of course, and you may
take a warrant against them if you please to bear the cost
as I have stated.

BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—George Jones, a stout and
healthy young man, who was described as a lighterman
and waterman, was brought before the Thames Police-
court, upon remand, charged with forcibly entering the
premises of Messrs. Richardson and Co., Cinnamon-
street, Wapping, and stealing cwt. of tallow from a
cask. The prisoner was detected on the night of the 26th
inst. in the prosecutor's warehouse between two casks,
with a dark lantern in his hand and the light
shut off. On tho floor of the. warehouse, near
the loophole door, was a cask of tallow with
the head out and half the tallow gone, namely, 3i
cwt. of tallow, at 435. 6d. per cwt. was gone. A con-
federate of the prisoner jumped from the loophole on the
ground floor of the warehouse, and made his escape before
the place was searched. Mr. Lushington committed
the prisoner for trial. There was a second
charge against the prisoner, of burglariously
and feloniously breaaing and entering the dwelling-
house of Mr. Daniel Cotter, a marine store dealer, of No.
30, Green Bank, Wapping, on the night of the 22nd of
October, and stealing two overcoats therefrom. The
dwelling-house of Mr. Cotter was forcibly entered
in the night time, and two coats carried away. On
the following morning both coats wore pawned by the
prisoner at two pawnbrokers' shops. He impudently
admitted he pawned one, and said he had nothing to do
with the other. The duplicates of both coats were found
upon him. Mr. Lushington committed the prisoner on
this charge also. The Thames police 'said the prisoner,
who is only 19 years of age, was old in crime, and there
were several convictions against him.
THE CASE OF BOULTOK AND PARK.—There was a
rumour at the Court of Queen's Bench that Boulton and
Park would surrender to their recognisances, and the
court was much crowded in consequence. They, however,
did not appear, and no notice, had been given to the
Crown Offi&,e of their intention to do so. The recognisances
can, however, be extended by application to a Judge at
Chambers. •

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ALBERT INSURANCE COll-
- —Sir R. Palmer, Q.C., M.P., representing the
Reconstruction Committee of the Albert Insurance Com-
pany, applied before Lord Justice James for directions as
to the mode in which the recent order of his lordship
should be carried out. Sir Roundell explained
that the difficulty experienced was as to the per-
sons who should be represented at the meetings
which his lordship had ordered to be held in order
to express approval or disapproval of the scheme.
Lord justice approval
said that share and policy holders
must, of course, be represented at the meetings. All
who were interested should have an opportunity of
giving effect to their opinion ; and that should apply to
questionable as well as substantial creditors. There were
a large number of persons having an important interest in
the company resident in India, and he suggested that, in
addition to their being telegraphed to. advertisements
should be published in the Indian newspapers, in sufficient
time to enable the Indian creditors to return a reply,
which should have its due weight at the forthcoming
meetings.
THE NORWICH ELECTION PETIT' )N.—ln the Court of
Common Pleas, in the case of the Nonvich election peti-
tion, a rule was granted to shew cause why an order of
Mr. Justice Byles should not be set aside, which directed
that the allegation that at the election of 186 S Mr. Tillett
was guilty of bribery should be struck out of the petition
which has been presented against his return.

IN THE HANDS OF THE DISCOUNTERS. —ln the Court
of Common Pleas Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C. moved for a
rule to set aside the verdict in a bill-discounting case tried
at the Guildhall last July. It was an action by an alleged
`• sixty per cent. discounter," named Morris, against Capt.
Bayley, of the 7th Hussars, who had become security for a
brother officer named Metcalfe, in the 32nd Foot. Mr.
Metcalfe afterwards sold out of the army, assigning the
proceeds of the sale of his commission to the plaintiff, who
applied the money to the liquidation of other bills, given
by Mr. Metcalfe, although the latter it was stated told
plaintiff that the sale of the commission was intended to
relieve Captain Bayley. Under these circumstances defen-
dant pleaded that his obligation had been met, as plaintiff
ought to have applied the proceeds of the sale to the cancelling
of his bill for £750, instead of Metcalfe's subsequent bills.
The jury adopted this view, and found for the defendant.
Counsel now argued that the deed entered into between
the plaintiff and Metcalfe left the disposal of the money
discretionary. At any rate, on a question of accounts,
there would be a balance due to the plaintiff. The Court
dranted a rule nisi for the question of amount to bo
ecided, and the issue to be confined to that.

HEAVY DAMAGES IN A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.—
In the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. Merryweather
moved for a new trial, or reduction of damages, in the
case of " Dainty v. Brown," tried before Mr. Baron
Channelland a special jury, at the Northampton Assizes,
on the 19th and 20th of July last. The jury found for the
plaintiff, with £2,000 dainnges, and the learned judge made
an order that upon payment of £l,OOO into court,
execution should be stayed until now. That sum
was not named as an indication of his lordship's opinion,
but as a goqd substantial sum evincing bona fides. Coun-
sel now contended that the damages were excessive, and
the result of an accidental statement by the plaintiff,
which defendant had no opportunity of rebutting. The
Plaintiff was 25 years of age, and went out as a governess.
Defendant was a gentleman of GO, in infirm health, who
_ _

farmed 400 acres, part of which was his own property.
He was not so well off has had been stated, and
plaintiff really lost little by not marrying this
infirm old man. She had also declined to
marry him unless he became more religious.—Mr. Justice
Bretty asked if an old gentleman would admire a pretty
young lady of 25, and promise her marriage, why should
not he pay for it if ho failed to keep that promise?—rho
Court intimated their intention of consulting with Mr
Baron Chanuell before deciding.

A large Protestant meeting has been held at
Enniskillen in connection with the Primitive Methodist
Society, and was presided over by the Protestant Rector.
A strong feeling was manifested in favour of a union
between the Episcopalians and the Methodists, the latter
to retain the itinerary system.

A. supplment to the London Gazette contains a
despatch from Lord Lyons, enclosing a decree appointing
a prize court at the seat of the Delegration of the Govern-
ment of National Defence, as a substitute for the prize
court at Paris until communication is re-established.

Mr. Gladstone is, we understand, the author of
the article on " France, Germany, and England," in the
recently published number of the Edinburgh Review. The
notice which the essay had attracted by its intrinsic
ability and by the freedom with which it discusses the
European policy, will not be diminished by the know-
ledge that it proceeds from the pen of the First Minister
of the Crown.

In reference to the appointment of a successor
to the late Roman Catholic Bishop of Southwark, Dr.
Grant, the Chapter of St. George's Cathedral have recom-
mended the Right Rev. Dr. Weathers, of Hammersmith ;
Canon Bambor, of Bermondsey, and Canon Danell, of
Southwark.
The Vintners' Company have subscribed £2lO
to the Fund for the completion of St. Paul's. Donations,
amounting in all to more than £B,OOO, have now been
receive d from thirteen of the City companies. The Fund
has reached a total of £35,083 ss. 3d. This sum takes
into account special donations, conditional donations, and
donati ms payable by instalments.
THE CONFISCATED FENIAN FUNDS.—The long
pending suit of "O'Mahony v. Belmont" has been at last
settled in the United States Superior Court. The action
was instituted to recover $30,000, lodged by the Presi-
dent of the Fenian Brotherhood with the banking firm of
Belmont, for transmission to Ireland for Fenian purposes.
It was alleged, however, that the British Government got
' notice of the 'intended remittance, and the defendant
1 never sent the money. When the case was called re-
cently, the plaintiff did not answer' and judgment went
by default for the defendant. —CorkHerald.

THE OUTBREAKS AT DAMASCUS.—Sir M. Monte-
fiore writes :—" As regards the outbreak that occurred at
Damascus some years ago, it is 6nou,gh to state that I
have been an active member of the Syrian Relief Fund
from its establishment in 1860, and I can confidently
assert that until now I have never heard of the cruel
accusations brought against the Jews of Damascus it the
