LAW AND POLICE.

TILE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S CASE.—An application in
the Duke of Newcastle's case was made before Mr. Baron
Cleasby, at Chambers, on Friday, on one of the inter-
pleader issues with respect to the property seized at Clum-
ber by Mr. Padwick, and claimed by Mr. Gladstone and
Lord de Tabley as trustees. Mr. Baron Pigott had granted
a joint commission to examine the Duke at Homburg,
where he is now staying, but as soon as it was known that
certain queitions would be put to the Duke, Mr. Patlwick
withdrew from the commission. It was now sought, on
the part of Mr. Gladstone and Lord de Tabley, to amend
the order as to a joint commission, so that a different com-
mission could be granted to examine the Duke. Hie
lordship consented, after some discussion, to amend the
order.

THE BANKER'S CLERE.—At the Mansion House., on
Friday, George Dickson, who was lately employed as
clerk by Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., the bankers, of
Lombard-street, was committed for trial, charged with
embezzling upwards of £5OO. The prisoner pleaded guilty.
CRUELTY TO A CHILD.— At Hammenstnith, Mr. T. B.
Brooke, a surgeon, of :_';heplierd's Bush, was charged with
illtreating his child, 2 years old. The princip:d witness was
his servant, who stated that she found bruises on the child's
face and body. Mr. Caine, a surgeon, of Hammersmith,
said that he bad examined the child, and found the
bruises were both old and recent, and must had e been (=a-
-1 •
smned by great violence. The prisoner said that he
bad applied galvanism to the child, and the
appearances on her body might have been produced by
the battery. Mr. Caines, in answer to the bench, said he
was not aware of any medical treatment which could
justify the state of the child's body. It appeared that
complaints had been made to the police as to the prisoner
ill-using the child. He was remanded until next week,
on his own recognizances in £lOO, and told to be then pre-
pared to find bail for his appearance at trial.
LAW OF TREASURE -TROC E.—At the Fast Kent Quarter
Sessions, Lord Fitzwalter explained the law of treasure-
trove, on the occasion of two lahopring men pleading
guilty to secreting gold bracelets, which they had found in
the earth. The chairman, addressing them, said the pre-
sent was a kind of case which did not frequently occur,
hut it was quite right and necessary when they did occur
that notice should be taken of them on the part of the
Crown, otherwise such articles, which were of value as
well as interesting, would be made away with with impu-
nity, and a great loss thereby sustained to the Treasury of
the country. It was important that the public should
know what the law really is in respect to such findings, viz.,
that all gold or silver articles, or gold or silver bullion
which had been hidden in the ground, when dug up,
belonged of right to the Crown. As the prisoners were
ignorant of the law they were only told to come up for
judgment when called upon.
