STOCKBRIDGE.

On Wednesday Vauban, Caucasus, Seville, Ines,
and Lacy Rose galloped in company a mile and
three quarters ; Gomera followed by herself, going
first rate. Lady Elizabeth has resumed work; she
is as quiet and tractable as any animal in the large
string of horses in training, and has apparently
benefited by the few weeks' rest.

FINDON.
Wednesday morning was very dull, and the
downs were covered by a very thick mist. The
horses, however, came out as usual, but although I
could hear them, it was quite impossible to see
them. I hear that the Vixen colt has been added to
the list of geldings.—Sportsman.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SON CHARGED BY HIS FATHER.—SamueI Mears,
described as " a schoolmaster, no home," was
charged before Mr. Knox by his father, Mr. Jacob
Mears, tailor, of 63, King-street, Soho, with creat-
ing a disturbance and wilfully damaging a door. '
The complainant said that the prisoner, who was
his son, and who had been a great trouble to him,
came to his house yesterday and created a great dis-
turbance, and smashed the panels of a door.
A brother of the prisoner, after giving similar
evidence to the father, said the prisoner was in the
habit of carrying a razor and a knife about with him
and he had threatened to murder him. The pri-
soner was 33 years of age, and had travelled nearly
all over the globe, but would not work, and all he
thought of doing was drinking and smoking.
Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, said that on being
called to the house of the complainant he found the
panels of a door broken in, and in consequence of
the family stating that they apprehended danger
from the prisoner he took him into custody, and
found upon him a knife and a razor.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the brother stated that
he was afraid of the prisoner, as he knew he always
carried a knife and razor about with him.
The prisoner said he had never cost his father a
penny. He was apprenticed by the Hospital where
he had been brought up and received a good educa-
tion, and as he was disappointed in finding work at
his trade he went out to India in the 3d Dragoon
Guards, and while there he fell from his horse
through sunstroke, and was afterwards invalided..
On his return home his family told him that he did
not belong to them. He had been to Africa, and
while there was a schoolmaster.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said that,

living near the complainant, he thought from what
he had seen there was danger to be expected from
the prisoner, whose mind he believed was affected.
The prisoner said it was his family's unkindness
to him that affected him.

The brother said his father would have the pri-
soner home but for his bad conduct and language.
Mr. Knox said he would deal with the case
before him as one of wilful damage, and order the
prisoner to pay the amount or 14 days. If he an-
noyed his family again they could complain at the
Court.

ALLEGED VIOLENT ASSAULTS BY A FOREIGN
SERVANT.—SiIas Silas, butler to Major Champagne,
of Belgrave-cottage, Eaton-square, was charged on
a warrant with assaulting Ellen Ingram, the Major's
housemaid.

The housemaid said that the Major and Mrs.
Champagne went to Ryde last week, and left the
prisoner, herself, and the cook at home. On Mon-
day from 2 till 11 o'clock she was left in charge of
the house, and when he came home at 11 he ordered
her to bed ; she said she wanted to go and get her
supper beer, and went out for that purpose; when
she returned she knocked and rang, and was net
admitted by the prisoner, and she then opened the
door with a latch-key belonging to a friend of the
major's. The prisoner called her into his bedroom
and asked her why she had opened the door; she ex-
plained, and he threw her out of his room and kicked
her. On the Tuesday the major discharged
her, and on the same evening she went to get her
boxes, and. while in the house the prisoner tried to
throw her over the banisters, and said he.would kill
her. She then applied for a warrant, he having
again assaulted her.
Prisoner, who is evidently a Greek, said he had
been in Major Champagne's eervice seven years.
On the Monday Ingram was drunk, and had a man
in the house. his master had left him in charge of
the house, and he wished to see all was right. He
denied the assault ; said the complainant, being
drunk, fell down; and that on the Monday he did
not assault her. She had brought the house
into

disgrace.
In reply to Mr. Arnold, the complainant addadmitted
that part of the Major's brandy was gone, aat
her brother-iu7law was at the door.
Mr. Arnold adjourned the warrant till Saturday,
for the attendance of the Major and cook, n
