It is understood that the National Bank have
signed an arrangement for the settlement of the
affairs of Charles Laffitte and Co. (Limited), and
that all the parties thoroughly conversant with the

Henshaw will be found in every stage of it to have
acted with perfect good faith, and to have been
among the chief sufferers by the deceptions con-
nected with it.

At the meeting of the Atlantic and Great
Western bond and debenture holders, after
lengthened explanations by the chairman as to the
state of the company and the position in which it
has been placed by the Erie Directors, a committee
was appointed representing all classes of the holders
of its s!curities to take such steps as might be
thought advisable for the protection and settlement
of their claims. A plan was proposed and agreei
to in substitution of that initiated by Mr. Lucas.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH,STREET.

- BETTING HOUSES AND THE POLlCE.—Thomas Haw-
kins, tobacconist, of No. 268 a, Oxford-street, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with keeping and using his house as
a betting-house, contrary to the 16th and 17th Vict. cap.
119, and Robert Scott, shirt-maker, of No. 15, North
Audley-street., was charged with being in the house.
Mr. Thomas Beard appeared for the defence.
Superintendent Dunlop, of the C division, having pro-
duced the warrant of the Commissioners of Police to enter
the house of Hawkins, said that on approaching the house
last night he saw Hawkins and Scott leaving. He told
them that he was a superintendent of police, and that they
must return tc, the house with him, and they did so, Haw-
kins handing Scott a letter from Newmarket, relating to
horses which bad left there, and which Hawkins said ho
had received from a friend. He then told Hawkins and
Scott that they must consider themselves in custody,
and directed the officers within to search the place ; and
they did so, and the prisoners were taken to the station.
Inspector Morgan said that in a small box behind the
door in the shop parlour he found a subscription card of
the Beaufort Club, in the house of Thomas Hawkins up-
stairs a card of the same club, in the house of Wilson
some telegraphic message receipts, a memorandum book
with " Newmarket Craven" in it, and one memoranda re-
lating to telegraphic messages from Newmarket.
Police-sergeant Todman, C Division, proved finding a
card relating to the Marylebone Club, but there appeared
to be nothing in it relating to betting.
Police-constable Butcher, 137 0, proved going to Haw-
kins's shop with another man and asking the price of Bri-
gantine for the gold Cup at Ascot, and on being told that
it was Gs. to 45., backing it, and paying the money—two
sums of ss. each—in a public-house next door; the bets
being made in the name of Brown. Brigantine WOll, and
the next day they went and backed Romping Girl for the
Alexandra Plate after settling the previous bet, and Claw.
kins entered the bets in a book similar to those used by
betting men. . _

--- -
Wm. Boyle, 77 X, proved going to Hawkins's shop and
asking the price of Brigantine, and afterwards stopping
out of the shop on to the pavement and backing it, and
Edward Stillmtn, a young man, also proved backing
Brigantine with Hawkins.
Mr. Beard contended that there was no case against the
prisaner, that CaS3 being one of the weakest description.
It was not sufficient because a tradesman indulged in a
little betting that he was to be preceded against under a
stringent act of Parliament and charged with keeping a
betting-house. Ho considered that the present was unlike
some of the cases uhich had lately been brought forward,
where the police found all the appliances for betting, and
that before the police took these proc.,edings they ought
to have satisfied themselves there was sufficient evi-
dence to Euppot t the charge.
Mr. Tyrwbitt said he would take time to consider the
evidence before giving his decision as far as Hawkins was
concerned, but Scott would be discharged.
