LAW AND POLICE.

THE GRENVILLE-MURRAY* CASE.—Mr. John Hill, pro-
prietor of the Flying Horse Tavern, in Oxford-street, has
been charged, at Marlborough-street Police-court, with
perjury in the Grenville-Murray case. Mr. Hill was bail
for Mr Murray, and charged Rosekelly, one of the war-
rant officers of the court, with inducing him to become
bail by saying it was for a common assault, whereas it was
for perjury. Mr. Hill has forfeited his £5OO by the non-
appearance of Mr. Murray, and Rosekelly was summoned
some time since for violation of duty by the inspector, on the
complaint of Mr. Hill, but the summons was discharged.
The summons against Mr. Hill was for p.rjury when
making his charge agninz:t. Ttoe'.:elly.. Mr. Knox, after
hearng the evidence, thought the case must be dismissed,
but 11.0.7.eke11y intimated his intention of carrying it te
another court, and the evidence, which was very volumi-
nous, was read over preparatory to sending the case for
trial after the ether evidence is added. Mr. Hill, it was
said, intends to proceed against Rosekelly for perjury.
SUNDAY TRADIICI,--A greengrocer living in Paddington
was fined ss. at the Marylebone Police-court for exposing
vegetables and fruit for sale on Sunday.

A SUPPOSED FENIAN.-A man named Dolan, who had
been for some time employed by the Cunard Mail Com-
pany, has been brought before the Liverpool magistrates
on the charge of being a suspected Fenian. Documents of
a treasonable character, and a book of rules for the Fenian
brotherhood, were found in his possession. Some of the
papers had been taken to Dublin Castle, with the view of
obtaining a warrant from the Lord-Lieutenant for the
transmission of the prisoner to Ireland. Under these cir-
cumstances the prisoner was remanded.
FOOT AND Mouvrn DISEASE.—A farmer, of Isleworth,
has been fined £5 for sending cattle affected with the foot
and mouth disease along the public highway, and a farm
labourer in his employ was fined 103. for driving them.

CHILD STEALING.—WiIIiam Taylor, a labourer, has been
charged at Portsmouth Quarter Sessions, with abducting a
little boy 5 years old. The father of the boy is a
publican, living in High-street, Portsmouth, and the
prisoner was a lodger in his house. Taylor disappeared
with the boy, and was found a day or two after trying to
force him to beg at Fareham. The prisoner was found
guilty, and sentenced to eighteen months hard labour.
TiE CAM.BIIIDGE HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—A young man,
who gave the name of Charles Trevor, but
whose real name proved to be Horace Wright,
has been charged, at Cambridge Petty Sessions,
with highway robbery. It will be remembered
that some time since he stopped a carriage in which a lady
was riding near Cambridge, and threatened her into giving
him a sovereign. He afterwards stopped some other per-
sons, and was apprehended. The prisoner admitted the
charges against him, and said that last November
he had done the same thing in Oxfordshire, and
if he was liberated ho should do the same again.
He made no concealment, and said he wished to be put
under restraint. He was committed for trial. The horse
on which he rode was, according to his written statement,
hired from a riding-school pear Grosvenor-square, London,
and he intended to ride to York, believing he was " riding
to deathless fame." " I was dragged on," he
adds, "by an irresistible fate to achieve the purpose
settled in my mind, and I declare on my oath that I would
rather have sacrificed my earthly existence than given up
the idea so firmly stamped upon my brain; and now I
would rather die the death of a mad dog than that it
should have occurred." The prisoner's story has been sub-
stantially confirmed in these particulars. He was formerly
a medical student.

SIR CHARLES DILKE.—Sir Charles Dilke re-
amed to London last week from Russia, in which country
ie has been travelling for the last two months. He will

probably return there shortly to continue his inquiries into
the political and social condition of the Russian people;
and particularly into the working of the emancipation
measures of 1863, and of the extensive system since inau-
gurated for diffusing instruction among the agricultural
population.—Daily News.
THE JUNIUS CONTROVERSY.—The title of the new
book on the Jnnius controversy—an allusion to which
appeared in Mr. Murray's new literary paper—is now offi-
cially announced. As we inferred, it is by penmanship
chiefly that this famous " sole depositary of his
own secret " is to be brought to light. In fact,
the. Hon. Edward Twistleton, originally announced
as the discoverer, now stands aside, or merely offers "a
preface and collateral evidence," the chief title of the book

win,g "The Han:lwiiting of Junius Professionally Investi-

sated. ry Charles Chabot, Expert." If Mr. Chabot suc-
,eeds in convincing opponent; by this method, he will
„:ertainly bo more fortunate than his predeces3civ.
A. WILD BOAR WANTED.—The following letter
is published in a weekly contemporary :—"Having received
in order to model an Italian wild boar, for the completion
•f a work of art, intended for presentation to an officer in

'me of our East India regiments, I visited the Zoological
• lardens, British Museum, and various other places, hoping
meet with a specimen, living or otherwise, but I find
dlero is no such animal in this country. If you would
kindly mention this fact in your valuable paper, I have
no doubt but that some Indian officer would speedly
present the "Zoo" with a living specimen, which would
undoubtedly be a very valuable addition to their present
extensive and varied collectini, EDwl W.
