RIGBY'S POCKET STOVE and KITCH EN,
with every requisite for cooking and serving up dinner and
tea for a party ; packs in half the room of an ordinary hat-bc3; : in-
dispensable to gentlemen going to India, &c., the pic-nic sport mien,
and Emigrant, &e. Price, Stove 30s. ; with Kitchen complete, from
50s. May be seen in operation daily at W. DICKINSON'S Lamp
and Furnishing Ironmongery Depot, 15'4, Regent••ctreet.
" Rigby's Pocket Stove is a curious and valuable invention, which
in an incredibly short period boils a quart of water, or cooks :a fowl
or steak to the greatest nicety. In future no sporting, pic-nic, or fish-
ing party will have completed their arrangements without al least
one of its members having in his bag or his great-coat pocket one of
Rigby's stoves."—Observer, July 6, 1851.
"Whether economy or speed be taken as the test of its capabili-
ties, it certainly appeared to be the most successful portable sto e
which has yet appeared before the public"— Daily News, .Puly 7,
1851.

THE ROYAL PROCESSION TO
PARLIAMENT.
Few prorogations have excited so much interest as that of the
Parliament in 1851. It is preparatory to a dissolution. Will the
same Parliament ever meet again, are questions which arise among
politicians, but cannot be answered. The Parliament is rarely al-
lowed to die a natural death, and the present is drawing nearV to its
close, and may be dissolved before Christmas, taking advantage of
the calm which succeeds a stormy session, and from the benefit de-
rived from the absence of all political excitement ; meanwhile
everybody is on the qui vive, providing for the Sporting season, and
the rush to the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON for SHOOTING
COATS, FISHING COATS, and DARE-WEATHER DRESSES,
of all kinds, reminds one of the crowds at the Crystal Palace.
It is impossible to conceive the effect of the display of seasonable
Clothing, comprising lightness, durability. style, elegance, and
comfort. Every variety of material and design that the most
ingenious artists and the best workwomen can invent and execute,
may be seen at the great Mart in Aldgate and the Minories, or the
noble West-end Branch Establishment, in New Oxford-street„ corner
of Hart-street. A Gentleman can, when dressed in one of
Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S new and fashionable Sporting Coats,
bring his gun to his shoulder or throw a fly with as much freedom as
if he had no Coat on, and yet defy the weather, for they throw off
the water like a duck's back, and are, nevertheless, thin, light, and
beautifully ventilated; in fact Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have
made Sporting Coats, among other things, a study, knowing that
perfect freedom of action, lightness of material, a good fit, a certain
degree of style and elegance, and durability, are all necessary to
make a gentleman really enjoy sport. It is, therefore, with the
highest confidence that Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all
Gentlemen, about to leave town, to visit either of their enor-
mous Establishments, to inspect their numerous and various dresses
for the season, which they will at once see cannot be surpassed, and
certainly not equalled in London at double the price. Evey article
is marked in plain figures, and no deviation is ever made under any
circumstances, and no sooner is a garment purchased than it is
replaced. Hundreds of the best workmen are constantly employed
under the best artists and cutters, and Gentlemen who prefer to be
measured can be suited in an incredibly short time.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GREENWICH,
Saturday being the day appointed for hearing the
charge preferred by the South-Bastern Railway Com-
pany against Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Rowand, for an
assault upon their two servants, and for obstructing
them in the discharge of their duties, on Sunday, the 3d
instant, the several parties attended with their witnesses
before Mr. Seeker, for the purpose of..having the case
fully investigated. Lord Ranelagh, Lord A. Churchill,
Mr. Rowand, and Col. Sir James'M'Dowall wore accom-
modated with seats on the bench.
Mr. Ballantine was counsel for Lord Ranelagh, and
Mr. Bodkin appeared on behalf of the railway company.
Considerable interest was evidently felt by the inha-
bitants of Greenwich in these proceedings, and the court
was quite crowded during the day.
Mr. Ballantine shortly explained the circumstances
under which this case had come before the Court; but,
at the same time, he contended that the charge which
was now about to be entered upon was but a repetition
of that which was dismissed by Mr. Trail on Mon-
day last.
Mr. Bodkin maintained that ,Mr. Trail did not dis-
miss the case, but declined to make any decision because
he considered it to, be a matter requiring the interven-
tion of a jury. After some further discussion the
Learned Gentleman proceeded to state the facts.which it
would be his duty, to prove in support of the charge, at
the same time observing, that although he believed be
should be able to establish the charge, to the entire satis-
faction of the magistrate, yet it seemed to him impossibe
that any abjudication by that Court could conclude the
question between the parties. This was only a link in
the inquiry, and, although the 1441palay had consented
to let the matter be-heard et efors4.. ethiti Mortftevibittever
might be the result, they would feel it their duty to have
recourse to the decision of a jug, by which all parties
would be ultimately bound.
On the suggestion of Mr. Ballantine the witnesses on
both sides were ordered to withdraw.
Mr. SECKER asked whether it,would not be better to
have the facts involved in both charges fully stated, when
probably an appeal would then be made to a jury, to
determine upon the weight of evidence, which would be
better than calling on an individeal justice to decide the
question?
Mr. Ballantine said he should be perfectly satisfied
with the decision of Mr. Seeker; but, if the proposed
course should be pursued, the charge he should stele to
be sent to a jury would be a very different one than that
of a common assault. Lord Radelsgh was not anxious
to press hardly against any party; the Noble Lord's
principal anxiety was to have his conduct justified be-
fore the Court, and to be set right in the eyes of the
public.
Mr. Bodkin said his LeamedTriend was mistaken in
supposing that the decision of the magistrate would be
conclusive, because by the Railway Act it was declared
that if upon any hearing of a charge the magistrate
should mink fit to do so, he might, instead of 'deciding
the matter summarily, commit the' persons for trial at
the quarter sessions.
Mr. Ballantine—We are quite content to be so com-
mitted, if the magistrate think; it proper so to do.
The following evidence was then adduced:—
Sergeant W. Price having been sworn, deposed, in
answer to questions from Mr. Bodkin—lt is my duty to
close the gate on the platform. I have been two years
in the emplyment of the company, and three months
employed in closing the gate which separates the
waiting-room from the platform. I was there
on Sunday night, the 3d of August. I had two
assistant.. There is greater pressure on a late hour of
a Sunday night than at other times: On these occa-
sions there is a departure from the usual arrangenents,
and the train down does not take. the passengers hack.
I opened the gate to let in the passengers by the quarter-
past 10 train. The assistant-master rang the bell, and
then I endeavoured to close the gate; that is the usual
signal. When I was endeavouring to close the gate
there was a great crowd• of persons-behind it. Before
we could get the gate to, persons passed through. I
had my right hand on the gatepost and my left on the
corner of the gate; his Lordship, with some other
gentlemen with him, insisted upon passing, and, there
being a crowd behind him, they overpowered me and
pushed the gate open. He (Lord Ranelagh) was parti-
cularly active in pushing the gate open. I called out,
" Stand back, if you please," two or three times.
Directly his Lordship got through the gate, he up with
his fist and struck me on the eye. I instantly seized
hold of his Lordship's collar. I have the mark still on
my eye. I made no remark, I was so astonished.
I believe some one alto also took hold of Lord Rano-
lagh. Widdows, the porter, was the other. Lord
Ranelagh and the other gentlemed closed round me, aud
Widdows let go to get the other gentlemen Offlna. Mord
Ranelagh struggled very violentlf, and said, ""Let go,"
and I said I would not, as he struck me. Mr. Rowland
came up and said, " Do you know whom you have got
hold of r and laid hold ornaly collit—Lardeltanelagts,
who is a very Powerful man, was getting the better of
me, when Carpenter came to my assistance. Knowing
Carpenter to be an experienced officer, when he told me
to let go, I did. I had no sooner done it than his Lord-
ship put himself into a boxing attitude, and, striking
thus, said, " Now, take that, you --" (using a vulgar
expression), and struck me on the eye with his fist. He
struck me a second blow on the side of the head. He
was then taken to the station-house, and the oharge made
by Carpenter was, " This officer (meaning me) charges
this party with having struck him when in the execu-
tion of his duty." Lord Ranelagh on that occasion said
I did no more than my duty, and he liked a man to do
his duty, and that was the reason why I did not make
the observation in the first instance of his calling me a
—. His Lordship also said he had been excited. I
said that fir. Rowand ought also to be included in the
charge.
Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—l was on the last
occasion sworn to tell the whole truth, and I suppressed
the filthy name he had called me on purpose, because he
bad paid me a compliment. There were about 200 per-
sons present, and some might have thought it was the
last train, as a quarter past ten was usually the last train.
ice. The people outside were extremely anxious to get in. I
cannot say that Lord Ranelagh had a lady on his arm.
I did not notice any lady partly through the gate When
. Lord Ranelagh was pressing through. My impression
is, that when I caught hold of hie Lordship no other
person had hold of him, but I will not swear it. I heard
some one sly in the station-house that Carpenter would
be blamed, and brought before the Commissioners for giv-
ing this charge. Lord Ranelagh had a cane, and I heard
ono of the officers (Widdows) swear that the cane was
broken over his head. If I am wrong in this case, I have
no doubt I shall lose my place.
William Widdows, a tableman in the railway cone-
peny's service—l was on the platform on the night
e, in question, and was at the gate when the bell rung,
and was struck over the head several times by Lord
Ranelagh with a cane, and my impression is that it
was broken to pieces. Lord Ranelagh was at the
time among the crowd in " the pound " outside the
tee. gate. After that gate was forced open by Lord Race-
- lagh and his party, I saw him strike Price in the face
with his fist, and likewise myself. Price, eft being
struck, collared Lord Ranelagh, and I did 83 also.
Carpenter came up and parted us. Price still had hold
ts of him. Carpenter said, " liana a police officer—loose
him to me; I will take charge of him, as be has insulted
2you." The moment Price loosed him Lord Ranelagh
s.
pi said, "Now you shell have it," and struck me two
) blows, one on the face, and the other on the side of the
'4 head. Price did tint give Lord Ranelagh the slightest
,Bs.
provocation before he was struck the first time.
le Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—Did I understand
' that Lord Ranelagh struck you?—Yes; I mentioned it
te
od before on My examination here.
ty6 You have said that ha struck you several times with
128 a cane?--Several times. He smashed his cane about
Ist my head. I heard it fly. I heard it crack. It is my
impression that it was broken to pieces.
lCs This is what you swore on the former occasion, "We
40 tried to stop them; he smashed his cane over my head;
I heard it fly." Do you vary in your statement now?
—My statement is the same now. I heard it crack
over my head.
Did you hear it fly, or is that a falsehood?—lf Lord
Ranelagh denies it, I will not swear I heard it.
How do you know that Lord Ranelagh denied it ?
Ho did deny it.
Is that the reason you withdraw it ?—lf I thought I
told an untruth I would withdraw it.
You saw Lord Ranelagh produce the cane?—He
produced a cane, but whether it was the same I can-
not say.
It was a gotta percha cane, was it not ?—I do not
knew.
If it were it could not be smashed ?—I heard it about
my cars sharp enough. That was all. I had no marks
that were visible ; they were very sore, but they did
not show.
Price says that Lord Ranelagh said, " You ?”
—He did, Sir.
Did you ever mention that before ?—No, sir.
Why did you not ?—Because I did not wish to do it.
Why did you not wish to speak the whole truth ?
Because I did not Wish to make use of that expression.
It is very seldom I soil my lips with it.
Mr. SECKER—If you have any reason for not men-
tioning the word state it.
Witness—l do not know why I did not state it.
Do you recollect it ?—I do.
Now just attend to me—Was not what you swore
upon the former occasion this—that when Carpenter
came up and separated you from Lord Ranelagh his
Lordship said, " Now, ti—n it, you shall have it." Is
that true?—l might have differed ou that word, because
I did not wish to make use of it.
Is it true that his Lordship said, " Now, d—n it, you
shall have it?"—Perhaps it may not have been true. He
made use of many bad words, and he might have used
that word as well as another.
Sergeant J. Carpenter, of the R division--I have been
thirteen or fourteen years in the police force. I went up
to the station just before this occurred. The first thingl
saw was Mr. Rowland holding Price by the collar against
the wall. Price and Lord Ranelagh had hold of each
other. I wont up and desired them to desist and let go.
I took Mr. Rowand's hand from Price's collar, and sepa-
rated Price from Lord Ranelagh. I begged of them to
desist. Lord Ranelagh then put himself in a fighting
attitude, and using a very bad word said, " Now I'll
give it to you." lie struck Price twice, once on the eyo
and again on the aide of the head. He seemed to be

very much excited, and said that scoundrel hid assaulted
him Mr. Rowland laid hold of. me, and I told him to

desist—that I was a police-officer and would lock him
wp. lie wanted me to let go of his friend Lord Rano-
tagh. I continued to hold him. Price still had hold of
him too, and somebody else also took hold of him, and
we then got him down stairs. ,Wheta we got him down
stairs, he said, "If yen let me go I will walk quietly
with you." I said. "I believe you to be a gentleman,"
and I let go of him, and he walked to the station, and

the charge was then made.
Cross-examined—l seized hold of Lord Ranelagh's
collar, and I began to endeavour to part them—Lord
Ranelagh, Price, and Widdows. At the bottom of the
stairs Price still had hold of Lord Renelegit, he never
having let go his hold. I then told him to let go, and I
would take care of him. I and Lord Ranelagh were
never alone together out of the hearing of anybody else.
We had to walk from the railway to the police, station.
Did you say to Lord Ranelagh that you hoped no-
thing more would then be necessary than that the names

and —addresses should be given?-1 said to Lord Rene-
lagh, " Don't let us have any more bother, but let us go
quietly to the station-house, and I have no doubt all will
be well, and you will all go back to your friends." Ho

wished to go back to a lady. When I got to the sta-
tion-house I did not cause a charge to be made against
him, but said, " This constable (meaning Price), belong-
ing to the South-Eastern Railway, charges Lord Race-
lagh and his friend, Mr.Roveand, with having assaulted
him." It would have been contrary to my duty to have
given him in charge. I asked Price whether it was
not he who gave the charge. It, was about five or ten
minutes after I beard that r was to be accused of

having made the charpfliat I oke to Price about it.
told-him if tie wits ups thavraiii
about it.

[A slight plastic cane (es it was called), made of
gum% 'percha, was here produced, neatly mounted

with a gold head and ferule, which Carpenter said be
believed was the cane that Lord Ranelagh had in his
hand.]
Mr. Walter Edward Jackson said—l live at Black-
heath. I was formerly a licensed victualler, bat am not
in business now. I was on the platform on the night in
question. I saw Price struck by that gentleman (point-
ing to Lord Ranelagh.) Price was trying to close the
gate. The blow took effect on the face. Pricy imme-
diately collared the gentleman ; they were struggling
together, and Carpenter came up and also took the
gentleman by the collar. After that there was either a
blow or a push given to Price by the gentleman. I
heard "vagabonds" and "scoundrels" used, but I can-
not positively say I heard any other expressions. I
should think the whole party had been taking a glass of
wine too much.

Cross-examined—l did not hear Lord Ranelagh use
any coarse expressions on the platform, but those of
" scoundrel" and "rascal."
Mrs. Maria Jackson, wife of the last witness, corrobo-
rated her husband's testimony as to Lord Ranelagh
striking Price.
John P. Tracy—l am en assistant in the engineer's
office of the South-Eastern Railway. I went from Lon-
don to Greenwich by the ten o'clock train on Sunday
night. I saw Price at the barrier, and saw him struck
by Lord Ranelagh. I knew Lord Ranelagh before.
Price was struck on the left cheek with the right hand.
Price's hat was knocked off, and, on recovering his feet,
he laid hold of Loi'd Ranelagh with both hands. His
Lordship was very much excited. A general scuffle
ensued, and Lord Ranelagh struggled violently to get
away, and used the words " scoundrel" and ruffian."
A man came up, who said he was a police-constable, and
cried out, " Don't strike the man again; I will. take
him." They, all went to the station, and Carpenter
gave the charge. Lord Ranelagh became after that very
excited, shook his cane, and called Carpenter a cowardly
ruffian. He said, " Price might have only done his
duty, and in his excitement he might have struck him,
but as for you (turning to Carpenter) I will do for you."
I noticed a lady at the police-station, but not at the plat-
form; but there were other ladies on the platform. I
have seen the lady before. I don't know who she is.
Cross-examined—l have been talking to Carpenter
about this matter. He said he understood he was to be
charged on this score. Mr. Church, Carpenter, and
myself were present.
Sergeant Weald—l was at the station when the
charge was given. It was for assaulting Price in the
execution of his duty at the terminus. Price made the
charge. Carpenter told me of the charge, and said he
distinctly saw Lord Ranelagh strike the constable twice.
Lord Ranelagh was very much excited, and was abusing
Carpenter. He said Price had done his duty, but he
knew Carpenter before, and would ruin him, or proceed
against him, or words to that effect.
James William Crouch, one of the detective police,
and Thomas Clay don, police-constable, also spoke to
the strong language used by Lord Ranelagh at the sta-
tion-house.
Mr. Swaim recalled Price, and asked -what became
of the 200 people that were outside the barrier when the
scuffle took place?—Price said the door or gate was
afterwards shut, but by what means he could not tell.
The passengers who were waiting went off by the next
train. The scuffle lasted about three, four, or five
minutes.
This closed the case against Lord Ranelagh and Mr.
Rowand.
Mr. Ballantine then proceeded to offer some observa-
tions to the Court by way of introducing the case on the
part of Lord Ranelagh. His Lordship might with the
utmost facility have shrunk from the present charge, be-
cause the whole matter had absolutely been determined
by Mr. Trail ; and, if he had consulted his own private
convenience, he would not have appeared at that court
to-day. But he felt, whether rightly or wrongly, that
he had a public duty to
,discharge, and that he was
bound to bring the matter before a magistrate, with a
view of obtaining that protection to which every class
of her Majesty's subjects was entitled at the hands of
justice. He stated broadly that this inquiry never
would have taken place if Lord Ranelagh had not come
down to make a charge against the railway officials.
Whatever the decision of the magistrate might be,
Lord Ranelagh would be perfectly willing to abide by
it. Lord Ranelagh felt that a charge had been
brought against him affecting his honour and his cha-
racter as a gentleman, which was quite unfounded,
and he was most anxious to vindicate himself. The
Learned Gentleman complained that the filthy expres-
sion attributed to Lord Ranelagh was falsely and moat
unfairly introduced into the case for the first time to-
day, for the purpose of still further degrading his Lord-
ship; and after commenting strongly upon the fact of
new matter having been for the first time introduced inhce
the case, and which was nothing but pure invention, he,
left the matter with confidence in the hands of the Court,
and was satisfied that the decision would clear Lord
Ranelagh from the scandalous imputation of having used
a most revolting expression, and of having acted in an
ungentlemanly manner by improperly interfering with
public officers in the performance of their duty.
After a short adjournment the Court resumed, and the
following witnesses were examined on the part of Lord
Ranelagh and Mr. Rowand:—
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James M'Dowall, of the 2d
Life Guards, was first examined—He was dining at the
Trafalgar with Lord Ranelagh and a party of friends on
Sunday, the 3d inst. They determined to go back to
town by railway. Lord Ranelagh had a lady, Mrs.
Jennings, the wife cf Captain Jennings, on his left arm.
The place was inconveniently crowded. He was in
front of Lord Ranelagh. There was a gentleman
and lady between Lord Ranelagh aid himself, who
were not of their party. The barrier was open
at the time, and they, were forced through it by the
pressure from behind. He turned round, and seeing the
man was going to shut the gate, told him that "those
persons behind belonged to his party." Supposing the
gate to be then closed the effect would have been, that
the lady would have been squeezed between the gate and
the post. She still had hold of Lord Ranelagh's arm.
When Lord Ranelagh found the gate was shutting upon
the lady he put out his right arm, with the cans in his
hand to prevent it. Then, finding that had no effect, he
leaned against it with his back, still having the lady
upon his arm. le did not at that time use any violence
whatever. The porter of the railway put his arm over
the gateway and laid hold of Lord Ranelagh by the
collar. Lord Ranelagh had never before that offered
any violence whatever to anybody. Immediately Wid-
dows had brought Lord Ranelagh over the barrier, the
policeman Price laid hold of his Lordship at the other
end of his collar. Ho was close to the gate, and had his
hand on it, so that it was impossible Lord Ranelagh
could have struck anybody without his seeing it. They
(Price and Widdows) left their duty merely to seize hold
of Lord Ranelagh. They urged him past the end of the gate.
After Lord Ranelagh got in with Mrs. Jennings on his
arm her husband got hold of her. He watched particu-
larly to see whether Lord Ranelagh struck any one,
and he should say certainly be did not. It was impos-
sible he could have struck Widdows several violent
blows. Ho was able to pledge his oath that he did not.
Lord Ranelagh was afterwards taken into the street.
When Carpenter came up in plain clothes he said, " I
am a sergeant of the police," and immediately laid hold
of Lord Ranelagh by the collar, without asking auy
question whether he was in fault or not. Price held on
' by the collar still, and Lord Ranelagh tried to keep
them off, saying. " If you don't lot me go I will strike
you." But he did not strike them, certainly, for he
watched particularly. His motive for watching particu-
larly was that ho was aware if you do strike a policeman
you always meet with the worst; and ho wished parti-
cularly to avoid being laid hold of himself. Lord Rano-
legh did not use the expression, " You —, now I will
give it you." He had not the power to go back to the
wall and square. When they got to the police-station,
Sergeant Carpenter stepped forward and said he charged
Lord Ranelagh with assaulting the policeman by striking
him, or something to that effect.
Master William Lowther was one of the party, and
saw some men lay hold of Lord Ranelagh while ho was
endeavouring to prevent the gate closing upon Mrs.
Jennings.
Mr*. Florentine. Jennings was then examined, and
Captain Jennings. I was with
the
wifeafalgarof
Tavern on Sunday, the 3d. W©
himsa d
at I
theam h
intended to g.e home by railway. I was on Lord Rene-
lagh's left arm. There was a great crowd. We could
not stop, but were forced away. Just at the moment I
arrived at the gate the porter wanted to shut it. I was
nearly through it. I could not get back, ttuecrowd was
pushing so. If the gate had been shut at that time it
