ASSAULT IN HYDE PARK.—ALLEGED ATTEMPTED ROB-
BERY.—Mr. King, a respectable-looking young man, de-
scribed as a clerk, was brought up at the Marlborough
Police-court, charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
Georgina Bruce, who described herself as " unfortunate,"
rn Hyde Park. The prisoner said the complainant and
three other woolen came up to him as he was walking
through the park; and on the prisoner attempting to seize
his watch he pushed her, and she fell, but he never struck
her. Police-constable Chorley, 300 A, said she saw the
Prisoner walking towards Stan ope Gate, and the com-
Plakriant running after him. A young man told him that
he saw the prisoner leave the complainant, but that he
did not strike her. He knew the prisoner to be one
Of a gang of women who were in the habit of stopping
every respectable-looking man they came near nightly in
the park, but seeing that her eye was bleeding he took the
Prisoner into custody. Barns, the gaoler, said the corn.
wainant had been charged at the court two or three times.
The Prisoner denied striking the complainant, and said he
Oilly pushed her to get rid of her. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it
Was clear to him that the prisoner struck the complainant,
and fined him 40s. or a month.
A DISHONEST RAILWAY CLERK.—JOhn M`Carthy, 6
clerk in charge of the St. James's Park Metropolitan
Railway Station, was charged at the Westminster Police-
eciort with embezzling several 'earns of money, the-
ProPerty of the directors of the company. Mr. George'

White, a chief inspector of the line, said-the prisoner had
been in the service of the company six years, and eighteen
months booking clerk. He was toll clerk in charge of St.
James's Park station, and it was his, duty to send the
money he took in one day in to the cashier the
next. On the Ist of June his book showed that
he had received £5 16s. 2d. on the part of the Metro-
politan Railway, of which he paid in £4 10s. 3d.,
and on the part of the Metropolitan District
Railway £4 10s. id., of which he paid in £1 7s. fid. ; both
were in his own book, and must have been found out by
the travelling clerk and accountant, who examined the
books once a month or six weeks; on the Ist of July on
the same accounts he received £4 18s. Bd., of which he
paid in Bs. Bd., and £4 14s. 7d., of which he paid in
£3l4s. 7d. Mr. Arnold said he should remand the pri-
soner. Prisoner asked that he might be admitted to bail.
Mr. Arnold asked what deficiencies there weve. Mr.
White said they amounted to upwards of £52, but he
could not prove any more to-day. Mr. Arnold declined
to take bail.

RIVAL SLOP SELLERS.—Mrs Harris, a very fat woman,
a Jewess, and Peter Anning, both outfitters, carrying on
business in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square, presented
themselves before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police
Court, on cross summonses, charged with abusing and as-
saulting each other. The Jewess was repreSented by Mr.
Charles Young, solicitor, the Christian by Mr. Pelham,
solicitor. It appeared from the evidence of many wit-
nesses on both sides that the parties had a regular scold-
ing match, that Mrs. Harris accused Mr. Anning of every
conceivable evil, and his wife with being too fond of
blackmen whom she entertained in her bed-room, and that
he spat in her face. Mr. Anning, on the contrary, said
that Mrs. Harris was too fond of Swedish captains and of
defrauding railway companies, and he said she did the
spitting part of the business. There was no doubt they
used vile language towards each other. Mr. Pelham
elicited from Mrs. Harris that she had been mixed up
with a transaction with a Swedish captain, but that had
nothing to do with this matter, and that she had brought
an action for damages against the Brighton Railway Com-
pany, and the verdict was against her. Mr. Lushington
said both parties were to blame, and bound them over to
keep the peace towards each other. He also fined Mrs.
Harris 10s. for assaulting Anning.

GAME LAWS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Much excitement existed among the officers and em-
ploy& of the naval establishments at Plymouth yesterday.
A large detachinent of Royal Marines was selected to
proceed to Ireland oh Thursday. The ironclada now
in the Sound, including the Agincourt and the Notthum.
herland, received sealed orders, supplemented iii the
afternoon by a telegram, directing them to proceed to
sea at once. It was found, however, impossible for thein
to do so before Thursday, owing to the almost total
absence of stores and ammunition at the Vic-
tualling Yard and Bull Point magazines. The
ships fitting out in baste at Devonport
and Keyham are delayed for want of tanks, of
which none are in store, several , suitable ones having
lately been sold. The re-entry of recently superannuated
artisans at Devonport commenced yesterday, the men in.
sisting on retaining their pensions in addition to their
wages. Recruiting parties of Royal Marines were sent
out to enlist all the suitable men they could procure. The
crews and Marines belonging to the ships under orders
are prohibited from coming oh ghbre,

Mr. Lociz moved that the order for the second rendiTig
)f this bill be discharged, and intimatel that he should
•auitroduce the measure next session.
