LAW AND POLICE.

ILL-TREATING A HORSE.—IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT A
/gum—Charles Hopkins, a carman, living at No. 17,
Wellesley-grove, Chelsea, was brought before Mr. Knox,
at the Marlborough Police-court, on a warrant, having
failed to appear to a summons, charged with shameful
cruelty to a horse. From the evidence of Lethbridge and
Newby, two constables of the C division, it appeared that
on the sth of last month they saw the prisoner driving a
horse attached to a brewer's dray along Piccadilly at a
furious rate, all the while standing up and severely
flogging the horse. A summons was taken out against
the prisoner, but he removed so as to avoid the service of
it, and a warrant was then applied for, and on the prisoner
going back to live at the house he had left he was taken
into custody. In reply to Mr. Knox, one of the con-
stables (Lethbridge) said the prisoner struck the horse at
least 30 times, the horse, which was drawing a large drag,
going at the time 14 miles an hour. The prisoner was com-
mitted for a month with hard labour.
WHOLESALE UTTERING OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Ellen
Watson and Wm. Harris (previously convicted) cohabit-
ing as man and wife, were charged at Westminster Police-
court with uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing it to be
base and counterfeit. The evidence was very concise. On
the night of Saturday, for two weeks, the two prisoners
went into a beershop in Rochester Row, kept by a Mr.
Robert Hill, and foisted off a bad half-crown; on Saturday
night the woman again visited Mr. Hill's and tendered
another bad half-crown, same mould and date as the
other ; the police were sent for, and the woman
locked up by Sergeant White. Two other detectives
then went and apprehended the man in Peter-
street, Westminster,. and on searching his room the door
was found smashed in, and the place ransacked, the sup-
position being that the Mends of the prisoners had re-
moved any further traces of their guilt. Male prisoner
resisted very much on the way to the station, but was
identified by Mrs. Hill and her lodger. They denied the
charge, but it was stated that further evidence could be
given connecting them with each other by a conversation
between them in the police cells. They were remanded
for a week.
