Walter Lang, a ruffianly-looking fellow, of the
true pugilistic type, was charged with the following
savage assaults upon the police :—Police-constable
Salisbury, 328 B, said that he was on duty last night
in Stockbridge-terrace, Pimlico, when he saw de-
fendant fighting with another man. He parted them,
and the other man went away, but prisoner refused
to go, and commenced using such shocking language
that witness was compelled to take him into custody.
Whereupon he became still more violent, threw him-
self upon the ground, kicked and blt the witness,
who had to call in assistance, and it required no less
than five constables to get him to the station.
During his attack upon witness he tried to kick him
in a tender part of his person. He was committed
for two months with hard labour.

Sir Francis Crossley has sent to the Hon. Arthur
Kinnaird, the treasurer of the London Missionary Society,
an amount of stock which will yield £1,200 yearly to that
society.

The quarrel between Mr. G. H. Moore, M.P., and

two years ago, and the sum in dispute was only £2 ss. 10d.
rue defendant, a parishioner, resisted the claim on the
ground of inequality in the assessment.—Sir Travers
ground of inequality in the assessment.—Sir Travers
Twiss observed that the expense of the hearing would be
considerable, whether the evidence was taken
orally or before an examiner. The Registrar
thought that it would be very much better
to make an arrangement, and Mr. Crosse, for the defend-
ant, said there was no principle involved, and if the pro-
eeedings went on the expense would be very large. In the
Tamworth Church-rate case, the Churchwardens had to
pay 22,000, and could not enforce a rate. The first day
of Minty Term was appointed for proceeding with the
case, the 'Court advising the parties to consider the matter
