-COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
MADAME RACHEL'S CASE -LErtHSON V. THE QUEEN.

The Solicitor-Geueral •asked the court to fix an early
day for the hearing of this case, on the ground that if
taken according to priority it would not, probably ,be
reached this t,

The Lord Chief Justice said the reasons given by the
Solicitor Geneial fully justified a depar:ure fro:n the ordi-
nary rule of priority, and the Solicitor-General, having
consulted Mr. Mellish (who appeared on the oth?r &de)
as to what day would be convenient, it was arranged that
the case should be fixed for Saturday week.

Mr. Glasse moved tho Court this morning on behalf
of Miss Saurin, in certain procJedings against Mr.
James Me'drum, the publisher of the Weekly Register,
a Roman Catholic newspaper, for having published, ou
the 3d and 10th of this month, e.qlktia articles of st libel-

that she was instigated i❑ her conduct by the enemies of
Catholicism, and that her suit was a determined scheme to
injure that religious body.

had been published. They were published in ignor-
ance of the rules of the Court, and he promised that

willing to pay all the costs. .

minated the case against the IVeekly Register.

MARLBOROUGfI-STREET.

PERFORMING GOATS.—A KIND COMPLAINT.--Antony
Luke, of Hatton-yard, Hatton- garden, the proprietor of
some performing goats, was charged before Mr. Knox
with assaulting a boy about 10 years of age named Charles
Dunn, living in Archer-street, St. James's, by striking him
on the neck with a whip.
Police-constable Wm. Moore, 187 C, said that about half-
past five yesterday afternoon he saw a great crowd of per-
sons assembled in Broad-street, Golden-square, and on
going up to ascertain the cause he found four goats and
a barrel, on which they performed. Ho desired the pri-
soner to go away, and he did 140, and then set to lashing
some of the boys with his whip, and struck one little boy
on the neck so severely as to cause a large mark. He then
took the prisoner into custody.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said the goats
were taken away by a woman who was with the prisoner.
Charles Dunn said that he was in Broad-street yester-
day witnessing the performance of some goats belonging
to the prisoner, when the prisoner gave him a severe cut
on the neck witkout any provocation.

The prisoner said that about a thousand boys had col-
lected, and some of them threw cabbage stumps, small
stones, and other th!ngs at him, and he struck in return
with his whip, and might have struck a wrong one.
Walter Walsh, a boy, proved seeing the prisoner strike
Dunn, and also that boys threw things at the prisoner.
The prisoner said ho had been in England 17 years, and
never brought to a police court before.

Mr. Knox said if the father of the boy wished to take
some compensation for him from the prisoner he would
permit him to do so.

Subsequently Barns, tho gaoler, said the boy's father
declined to take any more compensation than ls., which it
had cost him for a doctor.

Mr. Knox said the father had taken a very merciful view
of the matter, and that it was only because he believed the
prisoner had Leen annoyed that he allowed such a course
to be taken.

Thu prisoner was Ilnu diichargod.

AN INCORRIGIBLE Y TIMES IN CUSTODY.
—John Toouey, a notorious river thief, was brought be
fore Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 121 b. of bones, the
property of James Attains and others, from a barge called
the Caroline, on the river Thames.

Mr. Pelham, solicitor, scat .d that the prosecutors were
large dealers in bones and manure, and that on the 13th
inst. the Caroline, laden with a cargo of bones, was in the
Victoria Duck, and was actualiy taken out into the river
for the purpose of plundering the cargo. On the same
day William Anderson, a Thames police constable, saw
the prisoner and other lads on board the Caroline,
off the Brunswick pier. They lifted up a tarpaulin cover-
ing the cargo, and two of the boys took away several
handsfull of bones front the hold of the barge, and handed
them to the prisoner, who carried them to the shore.
The prisoner was about to return for another lot, and the
officer took him into custody, and seized the bones. An-
derson confirmed the statement of Mr. Pelham, and said
the prisoner had been in custody 30 times, and had often
been convicted of unlawful possession of property, and
other offences. On the last occasion, when the
prisoner was at that court, he was sentenced to three
months' imprisonm3ut and hard libour, and to receive 20
stripes on his back with a birch rod.

The prisoner, in defence, sail I did not take the bones
out of the barge; I know tho boy that did. The bones
were taken out of the barge before he went dorru to the

Mr. Pa3.et said ho should not again summarily convict
the prisouor, mid that h.; had too long been preying on

career must end. The property in Vas caso was identified,
and ho should commit the prisoner fir trial.
