THE BUTCHER AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
—One day last week a rough-spun country butcher,
whose travelling companion was a dog, took a ticket at
one of the stations on the Midland Railway for Birming •
ham. It was shortly afterwards ascertained by the
officials that he had a dog in the carriage with him. On
being remonstrated with, and told that ho must pay for
the dog, he refused, and a regular row commenced, in
the course of which the butcher got out of the carriage,
and the dog followed. Here the disturbance was re-
newed, and the war grew fiercer, wherl all of a sudden
the train started. The butcher, forgetting his indigna-
tion at the parties, turned round and jumped into his
place again, followed by his dog. The train went on,
the burley man of beef laughing as though his ribs would
crack at having "done the beggars," told the whole
affair to the passengers with glee, and concluded by
saying that they might " tallyscope" about him, he
didn't care ; he had done 'em, and they couldn't tell 'cm
at Birmingham before he got there, he was sure. On the
train arriving at its destination a gentleman, in a blue
buttoned-up-to-the throat livery, with trousers, and sun-
dry hieroglyphics on his collar, touched the butcher on
the shoulder, and said, " Sir, you have a dog with you,
for which the fare has not been paid ; you must eithee
fob out the needful, or I take you into custody." Ttir
" tallyscope," as the butcher called it, had arrived at
Birmingham first, and the poor fellow's feelings
may be better imagined than described.—Nottingham

FINED FOR CONTEMPT OF THE CORONER'S COURT.
Yesterday, at an inquest held at the Elephant and
Castle, Camden Town, Mr. Tiffin, the summoning officer,
reported to Mr. Wakley, that an egg-salesman, named
John George Wickham, Pratt-street, had repeatedly re-
fused, though properly summoned, to serve in the
Coroner's Court as juror. He did so again on Thursday
evening, when summoned in the presence of a policeman
to attend the present inquest, saying that he had more
important business to look after. Mr. Wakley swore
Tiffin to the truth of the the statement, and said that he
should not be discharging his duty towards the jurors
who served, it' he did not punish one who refused to do
so in such an improper and contemptuous manner. He
should fine him 405., and when the proper notice was
served upon him, if he did not pay the fine, proceedings
of a more serious nature would be taken against him. It
was the first fine he had inflicted since his occupation of
office, and he regretted that the aggravated circum-
stances of the case should compel him reluctantly to vin-
dicate by punishment a contempt of his Court.
TTORSE STEALING BY A RAILWAY SUB-CONTRAC.,
—On Thursday the police received information that
an extensive robbery had been committed by John Dean,
a railway sub-contractor, well known in the counties of
Cambridge, Essex, Norfolk, and Sussex. From his sup-
posed responsible situation, he had no difficulty in bor-
rowing horses from various farmers for railway work,
but at the termination of the engagement for the use of
the horses, neither Dean nor the horses borrowed could
be found. A reward is offered for his apprehension.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—Last
evening, about six o'clock, as police-constable 30 M, was
on duty on the Surrey side of London-bridge, he was
informed that an old man was attempting to drown him-
self at the bottom of the boat steps near Tooley-street.
He immediately ran to the spot, and just got to the
bottom of the steps in time to prevent the old man from
sinking, as he had jumped in between two boats. He
obtained assistance,' and conveyed him to the police-
station, when he gave his name Qillinger, and state]
that he was a pensioner.
