PO! ICE INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 29,

MANSION-HOUSE. —Eiwarl Horace Montefiore,
charged with having forgeci bills to the amount of 5,3001.,
was brought up for further examination.
Mr. Ribton, counsel for the pro,ecution,, called Mr.
Horatio Joseph Montefiore, of the Stock Exchange, who
said he did not know that there was any other Joseph
Montefiore on the Stock Exchange than himself, and he
had no knowledge of the prisoner. "To the hest of my
knowledge," said he, " I never saw the prisoner before.
He is not to my knowledge a nephew of mine. (A
laugh.) He had no authority to draw bills upon me."
The further hearing of the case was adjourned till
Friday next.

MARYLEl3ONE.—Christopher Statinard, a cabman,
was brought up from the House of Detention, and
placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for further exa-
minati a], charged with haying caused the death of
young woman named Sarah Tidytnan, aged 24, who was
cook in the service of a family in Somers-place,
Paddington.
The evidence gone into upon the first occasion went to
sho w that on Sunday night, the 21st instant, the unfor-
tunate deceased and her sister, after spending the day
with the wife of a sergeant el the G Division, got into
the prisoner's cab near St. Pancras Church, New-road.
The vehicle shortly came into collision with another cab,
and the prisoner, who was drunk, was precipitated from
his seat to the ground, where he lay for some time nairly
stunned. The horse, not being under any co:Aro', taco
dashed off at full speed, and ran against an omn bus
which was corning in au opposite direction. By the force
of the concussion the pole of the omnibus was forced
into the cab, as were also the head and neck of one of
the horses. The pole which had thus entered baa,
beyond all doubt, come with terrific force against the
deceased, and thereby caused her death. She ceased to
breathe within four minutes after she was removed from
the cab. Her sister almost miraculously escaped without
personal injury. The prisoner when taken into custody
said he had been in the Land Transport Corps in the
Crimea, and that if he had a revolver by hies he would
shoot the constables who took him, as he did a sergeant
abroad, through whose report be was flogged.
The additional evidence gone into yesterday was that
of deceased's sister and Mr. Mushett, the surgeon at the
Marylebone Infirmary. The sister, who had so narrow
an escape from death, and who gave her evidence natu-
rally, under the circumstances, with great emotion,
deposed to the reckless driving of the prisoner. She
said that when the collision occurred between the cab
and the omnibus, and while the head of the omnibus
horse was in the cab, she contrived to jump out, and
then called to her sister to follow her. She did not,
and was soon afterwards brought out, and after being
laid upon the pavement in a few minutes expired.
Mr. Mushett, surgeon at the Marylebone Infirmary,
gave evidence as to the dreadful injury sustained by
I the deceased. The pole of the omnibus had no doubt
been driven against her, and the chest, liver, ribs,
lungs, &c., were so injured as to cause death.
The prisoner, who declined to say anything at pre-
sent, was committed for trial for manslaughter.

LAMBETH.—Mary Ann Taylor and Emma Croat; e,
well-known thieves and prostitutes, were finally exa-
mined before Mr. EilioLt on a charge of being. con-
cerned with a man not in custody in robbing Charles
Flenof, a German.

The prosecutor said that on the morning of Sunday
week he met the prisoner Crosbie in Blackman-street,
Borough, and asked her if she knew any place where
he could get something to eat ? Sfre said she did, and
took him to the house where she lodged. At her request
he went up stairs with her, but had not been many
minutes in the room when it was entered by the other
prisoner and a man, and Crosbie blew out the candle.
The man instantly seized him by the throat and pressed
his thuinbs so violently against the windpipe as nearly
to choke or suffocate him, while the prisoner rifled his
pockets, and took two half-crowns.from his left band
trousers pocket. All three then ran away, but soon
after Taylor came back and asked him what he did
there ? Oa reaching the street, he (witness) was telling
a constable how he had been robbed and treated when
he saw the prisoners walk past, and he at once gave
them into custody. In reply to a question from the
magistrate, the witness raid be was quite certain the
prisoners were the persons who robbed him.
The prisoners, who denied the offence, were fully
committed frr trial.
