THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY

FRAUDS.

EXAMINATION OF KENT.

CLERKENWELL. —This morning James Charles Comyns
Kent was placed at the bar, before Mr. Corrie, for fur-
ther examination, charged with being concerned with
Leopold Redpath, now in custody, with fraud on the
Great Northern Railway, to a large extent. The pri-
soner, who is a tall thin young man, with round pale
features, black hair, and no whiskers, walked briskly
into the dock, and assumed great confidence during the
whole of the proceedings.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and
wa3 accompanied by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the
Great Northern Railway Company. Mr. Dodd, of New
Broad-street, appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Humphreys said it would be in the recollection
of the Court that he attended here on Tuesday last,

with some of the officials of the Great Northern Rail

way Company, and obtained a warrant for the appre
bension of a person named Leopold Redpath, That
warrant was placed in the hands of the police, but be-
fore they had time to execute it the prisoner at the bar
was apprehended on the charge of being concerned
with Redpath in the frauds he had committed on

the company, and he; was brought before Mr. t yrwhitt
and remanded for a week, it being believed then that
Redpath would not have been in custody so soon, and
that both might have been placed at the bar together

this day. Redpath wa., however, apprehended in
London and not in Paris, as it was expected, and he
was on Friday brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and re-
manded till Friday next. He (Mr. Humphreys) had
consulted with Mr. Dodd, the prisoner's solicitor, and
they had arranged, with the magistrate's permis-
sion, to make this a formal examinatien, and that
the prisoner should be remanded till Friday,
and then be brought up with Redpath before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, who was in possession of the facts that
bad been proved against the prisoners. The examina•

tion of Kent, on a former occasion, took place privately
at his (Mr. Humphreys) request, from a conviction that
a publication of the evidence at the time in the news-
papers would have defeated the ends of justice, and sub-
sequent events tend to show that in all probability that
would have been the case had it been published that
day. His application was that the prisoner be remanded
Friday, whey Redpath would appear at the bar with

bhp.

Mr. Dodd, on the part of the prisoner, said he Lad
no objection to the course proposed.
Mr. Conk) concurred, and the prisoner was remanded
till Friday.
Mr. Dodd asked the magistrate to order that d gold
watch, chain, &c., and other articles of value found on
the prisoner Kent, when LP was apprehended, should be
given up to him for the purpose of enabling him to pre-
pare his defence.
Mr. Humphreys said there was no objection.whilotei
to its being done.
Mr. Corrie directed that the property should"be given
up.

The prisoner was accordingly remanded. He then
walked briskly out of the dock and was afterwards con•
veyed to the Middlesex House of Correction.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

THAMES.

THE VALUE or A TOOTH.—Joseph Temple, a rough-
looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged
with assaulting Catherine Mahony, servant at the Red
Cross public house, in Upper East Smithfield.
The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came into her
master's house last night very drunk, and he became
noisy and troublesome. She gave him a little shrub,
and got him out of the house quietly, and walked with
him a little distance. She then returned to her master's
house, and was closing the door to prevent any one
entering again, when the prisoner returned, and forced
his way in again. She tried to get him out again,
when he struck her a violent blow with his
fiat on the mouth, and loosened one of her
teeth, which she intended on her way home from the
court to be extracted by a dentist.

Mr. Selfe—What do you say to this, Temple ?
Prisoner—l was very tipsy indeed, or I would no t
have done it.

Mr. Selfe—You must pay the dentist's bill, that is
the least you can do.
Prisoner—l will do that, sir.
Mr. Selfe—You must pay 103. for her tooth ; it is
worth that.

The prisoner said he would borrow 10s. in Thames-
street, and pay it to the complainant.
Mr. Selfe—Will you trust him, Catherine ?
Complainant— Yes, sir ; I know him well. I believe
he will pay me 10s. for my tooth.
Mr. Selfe —You hear what she says. Now, go to
Thames-street and get the 10a. for her. If you pay her
I shall think better of you than I do now.

By recent letters from Madrid, it seems a report has
lately been current that Senor Bravo Murillo is about to
be appointed Minister to London. It is highly impro-
bable that the Spanish Government can contemplate such
a step, but, should the 'statement prove to be well
founded, it is to be hoped the commercial community of
London will forthwith protest against his reception. It
was Senor Bravo Murillo by whom -the scheme for the
confiscation of the overdue dividends on the foreign debt
was concocted and shamelessly parried out.
AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, Nov. 11.—The screw steam-
ship City of Baltimore, Leitch, commander, 'arrived in
the Mersey early this morning, with advices from Phila-
delphia to the 30th ult., which have been anticipated by
the Arabia. She has brought $50,000 specie on freight
and 198 passengers. The City of Baltimore would have
made an excellent run home, as the winds were favour-
able for so doing the entire passage, had it not been that
York.
