POLICE INTELLIGEbTCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ADVERTISING ATTORNIES.—An elderly man, Of
somewhat careworn aspect, applied to Mr. Flowers
for a warrant against a solicitor for obtaining
money by false pretences. It appeared that it was
in consequence of an advertisement in a newspaper
that the applicant had consulted the attorney in
question, who had undertaken to conduct certain
professional business, for which applicant had paid
him, but which he had not performed. It was
pretty clear, the applicant contended, that there
had never been any intention of doing the work,
from several circumstances which he mentioned, one
of which was that the solicitor had since "ab-
sconded" from his place of business.
Mr. Flowers asked what would be the use of his
issuing a warrant if no one knew where the defen-
dant was to be found ?

The ApplicantWe might serve him if we could
drop on him.

Mr. Flowers was afraid, however, that no charge
of false pretence could be sustained. It appeared
to him that this was simply a case of breach of
contract for_ which no criminal charge could be
maintained, Ho could not but wonder that people
would employ attornies who advertised in the news-
papers. That was a practice to which respectable
solicitors did not resort, and those who did so ought
to be regarded with suspicion from that very fact,
like the advertising quack doctors. Of course there
were dishonest persons amongst attornies as well as
in other professions, and surely it was not likely
that if a solicitor was a swindler, he, having the
skill and knowledge to comply with or evade the
law, would allow himself to be entangled in its
meshes by committing an offence for which he could
be criminally prosecuted. He (Mr. Flowers) would
not say that there might not be some means of
obtaining redress, and perhaps the applicant would
do well to consult a respectable solicitor, but cer-
tainly he had no remedy in this court.
The applicant could not understand how such
conduct could be otherwise than criminal. It
seemed to him to be as bad as robbing a man of his
purse upon the high road.
Mr. Flowers—Then I must say one thing which
I fear may not be agreeable to you. A man cannot
help going upon the high road to any place where
his business calls him ; and if he is robbed on the
high road, that may not be his own fault.
But no necessity compels a man to employ an ad-
vertising attorney, and if he does so and gets robbed
he has himself to blame.

The Applicant—l think the highroad is much the
safer place.

Mr: Flowers—A robbery there is an offence which
the criminal laws can reach, and this is not.
The applicant left the court, determined to con-
sult a solicitor who did not advertise.

WESTMINSTER.

A MODEL SERVANT.--SarahSimmonds, a dimi-
nutive and demure-looking young woman, was
charged with being drunk and incapable of taking
care of herself.

James Butcher, 346 B, proved finding the de-
fendant in the King's-road last night in the situa-
tion described. She had a bonnet in one hand and
a purse in the other.
She was fined ss.

An aged gentleman stepped forward, and, in his
haste to address the magistrate, took his place by
mistake in the felon's dock. Released from this
unenviable position, he said, " Now, pray excuse
me, I am anxious to say something in favour of the
young woman you have just had before you. She
is the very pattern of propriety, the most innocent,
industrious, respectable, quiet, abstemious person in
the world. Sheis my servant, and I know how deserv-
ing she is. She had leave to go out yesterday, and like
a good girl, as she is, went to see her poor mother,
who is a pauper, maintained in St. James's work-
house ; and, as she came back, she had the mis-
fortune it seems to meet with some acquaintances,
who induced her to drink, and it seems she got in-
toxicated. Well, I was sitting up with my sister
when there was a knock at the door, and they came
to tell me of the circumstance. I thought you
might possibly forgive her.
Mr. Selfe--1 can't do that ; it would be unjust
to others.

dentleman—l am very sorry for that.
Mr. SVfe—Slie is a very valuable servant, you
say. Is she not worth ss. ?

Gentleman—l don't know.

Mr. Selfe—Not worth Os. to you ?
Gentleman—" Well, yes, she is. Yes, she is
worth ss. to me as a servant ; " saying which he
paid the fine.

as servant at the Bridgo House Tavern, in the Whitinore_
Whitmore-
road. On Saturday night, Fletcher 'having ascertained
whore hie wife was, called, and was shown into the kitchen
by the landlady, who had scarcely returned to the bar
before she heard the reports of two pistol shots, one suc-
ceeding the other rapidly. She and the other inmates of
the house hastened to the kitchen. They saw the man
lying on the floor, with a stream of blood issuing from a
great wound in his breast. In one hand he held a pistol
and had evidently thrown away another which was seen on
the floor at a little distance from him. Nut far from him
his wife lay, also on the floor, and her clothes were satu-
rated with blood. She exclaimed, "Oh ! Harry, Harry,
how could you be so cruel ?" Medical aid was at once ob-
tained, but the man appears to have died instantaneously,
and the woman only lived for about half an hour. His
clothes were searched, and iu his pockets were found seve-
ral large bullets, which fitted the horse pistols which he
had fired, a tin canister containing percussion caps, a quan-
tity of gunpowder, his marriage certificate, and money to
the amount of about 258.

The discovery of a valuable deposit of galena or
lead ore in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, near the town
of Woodborry, is reported.

THE MALT TAX.

Colonel BARTTELOT moved fora select committee
to inquire into the operation of the malt tax. He said it
was of the utmost importance that such a committee
should be appointed, because it proposed to deal with an
article which entered largely into consumption, and one
which was of the greatest importance to the working
classes. If the duty was reduced it would enable the
brewers to provide the labouring population with an ar-
ticle which would be beneficial to them, and throw
out of consumption that disgraceful stuff which was
sold in small country public-houses, and which
was called beer. It was a compound formed of the most
deleterious articles, and one which if hon. members only
once tasted it they would never wish to do so again. It
would also be but an act of justice to the farmer that some-
thing should be done to enable them to discharge the
heavy burdens which were now pressing upon them.
Mr. READ seconded the motion, and his reason for
doing so was that the English farmer might be enabled to
compete with the foreigner, who had cheap land, cheap
labour, and light taxation. He believed that the strong
argument against the repeal of the malt tax was, that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer could not afford to loose
the product of the tax; but he thought that if the right hon.
gentleman could not give the whole he might at least make
such a reduction as would prove acceptable to the far-
mer and advantageous to the working population.. It
had been stated that the strengthening and greater pro-
duction of beer wodld lead to an increase of drunkenness,
but he did not believe that, because it was well known that
in wine-producing countries drunkenness was not as pre-
valent as it was in places where the facility of obtaining
wine was notlsogreat. The effect of the existing malt-
tax bad been most pernicious, because malting and brew-
ing had been a complete monopoly, and therefore on that.
ground alone the operations of the tax ought to be strictly
inquired into.
Mr. GLADSTONE said he believed it was the inten-
tion of the Government not to offer any opposition to the
motion of the hon. and gallant gentleman opposite. It
was a subject that might be well inquired into by a se-
lect commitete, because he believed many misapprehen-
sions that existed on the subject would be cleared away,
and he should also be glad if certain inquiries were made
into the operation of the two acts passed last year, viz.,
the one for levying the duty by weight, and the other for
the application of malt for the feeding of cattle. He hoped
the inquiry would not give rise out of doors to an impres-
sion that any future Chancellor of the Exchequer could,
with the revenue derived from malt or from the conversion
of barley into beer,

THE MERTHYR MURDER.—Efforts are being
made by a clergyman and others, at Dowlais, to obtain s
reprieve or commutation of the sentence on the prisoner
Watkins, who was convicted at the assizes at Cardiff last
week of the wilful murder of a man named Henderson, on
the ground that the crime was committed by the prisoner
when at the height of passion.
[ADVERTISEMENT.' —ilONOWay'S Ointment and Pills.--
Glandular swellings in the throat, neuralgia, tic doloreux,
rheumatism, gout, lumbago, and other diseases affecting
the glands, muscles, and nerves of sensation, are perma-
nently eradicated by this healing antifebrile and soothing
preparation. It is also a perfect remedy for all skin dis-
eases and everything of superficial inflammation ; they
soon lose their angry and painful character under this in-
valuable ointment. The pills have never been adminis-
tered either by hospital or private practitioners, in dyspep-
sia or liver complaint, without producing the desired re.
suit.

FINDON.

On Tuesday the horses from Findon and Michell
Grove came out soon after three, and at once went
to the Lea Farm Bottom. The morning lot com-
prised Longdown, Thalia, Ulphus, Queen of the
Isles, Signet, Gipsy Queen, Sister to Vedette, Fore-
sight, Gilead, Owain Glyndwr, Ganymede, Fal-lal,
Miller's Maid, Icicle, Miss Martha, Miss Eleanor,
llerennianus, Madrid, Gilbert Harnam, Sir David
Gam, &c., all of whom did a similar amount of
work to what they did yesterday, except that Owain
Glyndwr this morning did his work alone, and,
after a canter of a mile, had two gallops of two
miles by himself. He walked for half an hour be-
tween his canter and his first gallop, and an hour
betwixt his first and second. As far as I can judge
the horse goes well, and he looks the picture of

TEL—Only a moderate amount of business has been
transacted, and prices have remained steady.
St.GA]L—The operations in West India have boen to a
fair extent, and full prices have been current, for superior
qualities. In the refined market there has been a steady
inquiry, common lumps being quoted 435 por cwt.
COFFEE—At public sale full rates were readily obtain-
able for East Indian descriptions : other qualities, how-
ever, remained inactive, without any material change in
values.
RlCE—Business has remained inactive for home con-
sumption, but there has been a fair demand for export, and
quotations show an upward tendency.
TALLOW.—The market is dull, and but little business
has been entered into either for present or forward deli-
very. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 44s 9d, and last three
months 455 9d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A MONKEY TRAINER IN TROUBLE.—Antonio
described as a trainer of aliimals, and who goes about with
a performing monkey, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt
with suffering a ferocious monkey to attack and bito
Francis Foley, a boy residing at 26, Berwick-street, St.
James's.

On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Inspector Har-
rison said the complainant was not in attendance. He had
been to the court, but he (Inspector Harrison) believed
had been taken away by some of the prisoner's friends.
Police-constable Chard, 38 C, said that on going to
Princes-street, Hanover-square, ho found the complainant
bad been badly bitten on the hand. He took the boy to a
chemist's, whore the wound was stopped up, and after-
wards to the Middlesex Hospital, where the wound was
cauterised and sewn up, the complainant appearing to be in
great pain. _ _

Mr. D'Eyncourt asked the prisoner how it was that he
kept a monkey which bit people ? _ _

The prisoner said the boy was bitten by accident. The
boy gave the monkey a halfpenny, and put it on the board,
and the monkey, thinking he was taking the halfpenny off
instead of putting it on, bit him. Ile was sorry the boy
had been hurt.

Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had told him that ho
would pay any expenses incurred by tho boy, and compen-
sated him.

Mr. D'Eyncourt dischargod tho prisonor, and ordered the
monkey to bo given up to him.

WESTMINSTER.

PITIABLE CONDITION OF AN AGED MOTHER.— Mary God-
win, 46 years of age, was charged with robbing her
mother.

Prosecutrix, who is 80 years of ago, said that the pri-
soner, who is her daughter, had lived with her for the
last three weeks. She was a married woman, whose hus-
band was now in prison for the fourth time. She had sold
up her home, and now came and robbed her (the mother).
She missed a collar and another article yesterday morning,
and went to her ha, and told prisoner that she had not
got the things there. At that time there was a piece of
Llama cloth, which she bad to make into a dress for a lady,
in the box, and she saw it in the prisoner's hand. Imme-
diately afterwards she missed it, and found the prisoner
gone.
Prisoner hero commenced a frightful tirade of abuse,
charged her mother with a succession of crimes and con-
cluded with " And you old —, I'd sooner burn the
cloth than you should have it again."
Mr. Selfo—Well you are a nice daughter.
Peter Smith, policeman, IG3 B, said he was called to
take the prisoner into custody last night, and found her
ying dead drunk. When she was aroused she rushed at
her mother to strike her, and used the most disgusting
language and frightful threats.
Mr. Selfe—l am not at all surprised at what you say.
The aged mother, who appeared to be a well-educated
woman, complained very much of her daughter's disgrace-
ful conduct.

Prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. As sho left the
dock she excLinied, " You -, perhaps you'll bend
Me down ray glasoo of the drawer.

ments to be made in this bill during its passage

Clause to be moved in committee by Lord Lyttel-
ton :—To follow clause 8 : " And be it enacted, that
from and after the expiration of six months after
the passing of this Act no one shall be entitled to
vote at any election of a member of Parliament who
cannot write a legible hand." " And be it enacted,
that the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council are
hereby authorised and required to frame and issue
regulations within three months after the passing of
this Act to carry the last preceding enactment into
effect."

Amendment to be moved in committee by the

To omit clause 16, and to transfer all or any of

upon in committee.
Clause in lieu of clause 16 :---" In the event of
returns or a return of any member to serve in Par-
liament by a less number than one-fourth of the
registered electors, whether such deficiency of
votes be caused by a too great number of candi-
dates or by the indifference of the electors as to the
use of their votes, it shall be lawful for the House
of Commons to order a fresh election or elections
until (what they may consider) a substantial repre-
sentation of the electors be arrived at."

_ilitia
DJ that we must rely mainly for our army of
r' .serve. Sir J. PAKINGTON confessed that the Act
of 1859 had been very unproductive of results,
only about 4,000 men having been enrolled under
it. The whole reserve force which was created by
that act and the others which preceded it was, on
paper, 50,000 men, but the actual result has not
been one-half that number. The Recruiting Com-
mission in their report suggest various means for
enlarging the reserve force, such as increasing the
enrolled pensioner force, and compelling all men who
purchase their discharge to serve for five years with the
reserve. " All these some -s of supply combined,"
adds the report, " would, however, form but a small
reserve force, and we are of opinion that it is to our

Militia we must look for the solid and constitutional
reserve of the ccun try, and we would earnestly re
commend that more attention should be given to its
organisation." Without accepting Mr. WHALLEv's
conclusion, that it is clear nature could not have
meant us to have a standing army, or we should
have had a better capacity for organisation, we
may safely admit that great improvement is pos-
sible, and though there is seldom any real difficulty
in obtaining the necessary votes, there is a very
great difficulty in remodelling the system and get-
ting our Militia into really good working order.
London, England, 1867-07-26

Viscount HALIFAX likes to be mysterious. He
tells us that he means mischief to the Reform Bill—
a statement we do not find it difficult to believe,
but from what quarter his attack is to come he will
not let us know. He prefers to pique our curiosity.
We must wait in patience until Monday next before
we learn the new aspect under which the wisdom
of the noble lord is to be exhibited. We only know
that it concerns the weak point of every Reform
Bill—the redistribution scheme. Lord HALIFAX is
to set wrong right, to remedy evils and
supply deficiencies, no doubt. He has never
lacked a judicious confidence in his own powers,
whether as Chancellor of the Exchequer when he
bewildered our taxpayers, or, as First Lord of the
Admirality, he astonished our sailors. He is now
going to give Reformers a lesson, and to show the
country how much it lost when it suffered a great
public question to be settled without the aid of a
GREY, a RUSSELL, or an ELLIP•TT. Lord MALMES-
BURY, in the unfortunate absence :of his chief,
appealed in vain for information. Lord HALIFAX
will let him know at the proper time. Meanwhile
he has no intention that his foes should be either
forewarned or forearmed. His general proposition
is to the effect that the scheme is inadequate, and
he is going, therefore, kindly to give it a few finish-
ing touches. Such a masterhand at political patch-
work may be relied upon to execute the task with
dexterity and goodwill. We only doubt whether the
House will appreciate his labours.
