Mr. Overend said that he would then proceed with the
second application, and let the first stand over. It appeared
that Mr. Ibbetson held a farm at Stonelowe, Derby, in the
years 1864, 1865, and 1866, and a groat quantity of grouse
from the Duke of Rutland's property used to come
to a portion of the farm. Ibbetson then let that portion
to the duke for the purpose of shooting over, but disputes
arose between them, and Cutts, who agreed to indemnify
Ibbetson from any costs, commenced proceedings against
the Duke. There were two actions which the defendant
obtained, and the costs amounted to the sum now claimed
by Ibbetson. Cutts demanded that :amount as the costs
of the securities which the defendant refused to pay, but
it was ultimately arranged that he should mortgage his
farm to a person named. Poplington and Cutts received
the money which he refused to deliver up. With a
view to avoid arrest, Ibbetson came to London and
Cutts having obtained information as to his address, and
with a view to prevent his adopting any legal proceedings
went to a bank in Sheffield, where he obtained a judgment
against Ibbetson, and informed the manoger that ho could
tell him the whereabouts of Ibbetson. The manager of
the bank, being aware that Ibbetson was a client of Cutts
in the action in which the judgment had been obtained,
declined to avail himsself of his offer. It further
appeared that Cutts, Ibbetson, and Poplington were
indicted at the assizes at Derby for a consp:racy
to defraud the Duke of Rutland, but a verdict of
guilty was found, although the judge made some
severe comments on the conduct of Cutts. The learned
counsel contended that the facts justified the Court making
a rule to show c:utse why Cutts should not be struck off
the rolls.
The Court granted tho rule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUH-STREET.

THE ILLITMTNXTIONS.—CharIos Watts, 16, John Rey-
nolds, 16, and Frederick Henry Bolton, 15, were charged
before Mr. Knox as suspected persons loitering in Savill-
row for the purpose of committing felonies.
Philip Shiva, 82 0, said that on Saturday night about 10
o'clock he was on duty in Savill-row, there being a large
number of persons collected there witnessing the illumina-
tions at Mr. Poole's, the tailor, when ho saw the three pri-
soners pushing amongst the crowd. Suspecting them he
watched them, and saw Reynolds attempt to pick pockets.
He afterwards took the prisoners into custody, and on
eearching Bolton he found two purses on him, one of them
containing a number of postage stamps.
Binstead Webb, 112 C.), proved seeing Reynolds and
Bolton attempt to pick different persons pockets, and
assisted Shrives in taking the prisoners into custody. On
searching Reynolds he found upon him a purse containing
7s. Nothing was found on Watts.

Mr. Charles Hubbard, 59, Albany-street, said Bolton had
been in his employ for three years, and ho could not
understand how ho had got into such a position. The
stamps found on Bolton no doubt belonged to him (Mr.
Hubbard) and had been taken off some circulars. The
purse had no right, it was true, to have been there. He
believed both the purses belonged to Bolton. He had
trusted him with large sums of money.
Bolton said he had taken the stamps off some old cir-
culars in a cupboard intending to put them on some new
ones, and having no time to do so, put them into his
pocket.
An ironmonger in Portland-street gave Reynolds a good
character, stating that he had never known him to bo dis-
honest ; and a tradesman in Holborn spoke well of Watts's
character, and also as to the respectability of his parents.
Mr. Knox said it appeared to be a strange story. He
would discharge these boys, but he must toll them that
their characters were compromised by what occurred on
Saturday night. He had a painful doubt of the case. Ho
could not say they were guilty, but he could not say they
were innocent. Ho was afraid the lads had fallen into bad
company. He would discharge the lad; and he would
like to hear that their masters would agree to tako them
back.

The masters having agrood to do so, Mr. Hubbard
asked whether it was true that dice and cards were
allowed at the school Bolton wont to of an evening.
Bolton said dice and dominoes were allowed.

Mr. Hubbard said he thought it a most disgraceful thing
if that was the case. His only object in making the in-
quiry was for the boy's own good.
Mr. Knox said that ho would discharge the lads, hoping
the present case would act as a warning to them.
Richard Baker, alias Slater, a shoeblack, was charged
with stealing the watch of David Croskey, a tailor, while
in Saville-row.

After hearing the evidence, Mr. Knox remanded the pri-
soner to give him an opportunity of producing witnesses
to character.

James Tucktou was charged as a suspected person loiter-
ing in Savile-row for the purpose of committing a felony.
He was remanded.

Thomas Hockington and John Coney were charged by
police-constable Butcher, 137 C, with a similor offence in
Savile-row.

Butcher having proved the case,
Gordon, 33 C, said that Coney had once before been
charged with felony.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners.
