graphed back to Woolwich. The train then pro-
ceeded to London, and on arriving at the terminus
witness saw the prisoner get out of one of the car-
riages, and was about to walk ( ff the platform with
the parcel under his arm. Witness immediately
stopped him and asked him what parcel he had
titere, and where he got it from, when he replied
that it was his, and that he had brought it from
Woolwich. He took him to the station-master's
office, when he was given into the custody of Ser-
geant Smith, 4 M. Witness added that all charges
had been paid on the parcel, and it was marked for
immediate delivery. The prisoner must have been
very expert in abstracting the parcel from his
break, as witness was hardly two minutes out of it
at Woolwich.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--j ay 25.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Thos. Lay, a dirty disso-
lute-looking fellow, was charged with neglecting his
children, and leaving them chargeable to the parish
of St. Botolph, Aldgate.
It appeared from the evidence of Thos. Lay, an
' intelligent but delicate lad of 15, that the prisoner
was his father, and that his mother had been dead
some time. Besides himself his father had three
Aber sons, aged 1.2, 8, and 4, respectively. Witness
was apprenticed to a factor, bad for a long time kept
himself upon his wages of 4s. a week, and the next
boy, who worked at a pewterer's, also earned 4s.
weekly and kept himself—the other two children
being dependent upon their father, with whom they
all lived together in Goodman's-yard. About a
month ago, however, their father left home, giving
them 55., and had never returned since, except one
day when lie looked in and left ls. Gd. ou the
chimney-piece, so that the younger children were
nearly starved, and witness was compelled, as the
only means of keeping them from actually starving,
to bring them to the Lord Mayor, who first kindly
relieved them and sent them to the workhouse,
where they still remained, at the same time issuing
his warrant for the prisoner's apprehension.
The Assistant-relieving officer to the parish of
St. Botolph, Aldgate, deposed that lie had appre-
hended the prisoner that morning while doing
some stable work.
Prisoner said he had done all he could for his
children. He had had no regular work since Chri‘t-
was, and all the money he had earned during the
last months was the ls. Gd. he had left on the chim-
ney-piece. The job ho was that morning taken from
was the first half-day's work lie had had since.
isoner's eldest eon said his father, when he did
live with them, was constantly coming home drunk,
when he used the most disgusting language before
the youngest children.
The prisoner denied that he was of drunken
habits, but
The Lord Mayor told him his appearance was
quite decisive on that Feint without the aid of
other evidence.
The son said his father had been altogether regard-
less of the welfare of the little children: Oa one oc-
casion, on a Saturday night, he went home with a
sovereign, out of which he gave witness ss. for the
week, kee)ing the eat for himself.
Th,3 Lord Mayor—Only ss. for four children, and
15s. for yourself. ‘Vhat a heart you must have.
Prisoner (sullenly)—Well, I had myself to keep.
The Lord Mayor—But who was to ke,p your
children I'm sure, if this boy, of whom you ought
to be proud, had not brought them to me, they
must have starved, and yet they looked so neat and
tidy, I was really surprised.
The witness modestly said he kept them as. neat
as he could, as he had no'one to help him.
The Lord Mayor encouragingly told him he would
one day be rewarded for his conduct, as no doubt
some one would be found to take charge of his
younger brothers.

Mr. Combos asked the prisoner what he had to
say about it.

He replied that a man gave it to him to hold
while he got out of the carriage, and then the guard
pounced upon him.
The guard hero observed that he was walking
with it off the platfcrua towards the incline.
Mr. George Graves, an in-pector in the com-
pany's employ, informed his worship that when
the prisoner was searched the " way-bill" for the
parcel of fish was found on him, so that it was clear
that he had been in the guard's break.
Sergeant Smith also said that his worship would
perceive the prisoner bad given two addresses,
which looked very suspicious.
Mr. Hughes, the solicitor, here entered the
court, and identified the parcel as belonging to
him. It contained deeds of the purchase of pro-
perty in Kent for his brother, worth 2,500/. The
stamps alone cost 471. Ils. 6d.

Mr. Combs remarked that the abstraction of the
parcel might hive been of very serious inconve-
nience to Mr. Hughes, and as he suspected the pri-
soner was an adept at such offences, he should re-
mand him until Wednesday, to give the constables
an opportunity of making inquiries about him.

WANDSWORTEL—SamueI Martin, a farmer,
of Garrett-lane, Wandsworth, appeared to a sum-
mons charging him with having unlawfully turned
out and kept depastured upon Clapham-common
upwards of 100 sheep, which were in an unfit and
diseased condition.

David Porter, the Common keeper, deposed that
there had been a great many complaints of the
state of the defendant's flock of sheep turned upon
Clapham-common. They were complained of in
1857, and on the 13th April last he had his attention
again drawn to them, He examined them on that oc-
casion, and found them diseased to a very alarming
cxteilt. He saw them again on the 17th inst., and
they were will in a diseased state. Several of the
sheep had died on the common from the disease,
and he had buried three.

The inspector of nuisances for Clapham, stated
that there were several complaints made to the
Wandsworth B card of Works of diseased cattle
being turned and kept upon the COIIIIIIOI3. Those
complaints were made in 1856, and also in April
last. When he saw them in April last they were
in a shocking state from disease. He saw one of
the sheep without an ear, which had fallen off from
disease, and the other ear was merely hanging by
a piece of skin. Some of the feet of the sheep were
rotten, and they could scarcely walk. The board
had complained to the defendant on several occa,-
stens, but no notice had been taken, with the ex-
ception that they were removed from one common
to another.

Prisoner—Why, ono day that boy told me not
to go to his home, for if I did he wouldn't have me
there.

Witness—No, father. You came in one day and
going to the cupboard you took some of our bread,
which was little enough for us four, and I told you
if you couldn't bring us any money you had better
keep away. That was all.
The Lord Mayor--And very proper too, when
you wanted to live on his small earning,. You are
one of the greatest brutes for a father that ever
came before me. It is plainly proved that you have
neglected your children, and I shall send you to
hard labour for a month. If you ever come here
for the same thing again I shall send you for three.
Elizabeth Ohamberg, a respectably dressed mid-
dle-aged female, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and wilfully breaking a square of
glass, value 255., and also with attempting to com-
mit suicide in a cell at the police station.
It appeared from the evidence that on Monday
evening the prisoner and two other women went to

Mr. James Clousely, veterinary surgeon, of Park-
road, Clapham, Mr. John Donough, the medical
officer of health for Clapham, and Mr. William
Curtis, a butcher, of Clapham, gave similar evi-
dence of the diseased state of the sheep. The
medical officer stated that they were in a deplorable
state, apparently starved, and covered with scars
and sores.

Edmund Knight, the officer of the Clapham
Branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, said that the secretary had
complained to Mr. Martin of the shocking state of
the sheep some time during last year.
The defendant denied that any of his sheep were
in a diseased state, or that he had lost any of his
flock. This proceeding was taken at the instigation
of the butchers who wished him not to turn his
sheep upon the common. He took the sheep away
on Saturday when they were complained of.
The defendant's shepherd was then called, and
admitted that the sheep were diseased, but not
more so than other persons', and said they would
not harm anybody.
Mr. Ingham said he could not conceive a worse
case, and as the defendant had repeated the act
after frequent warnings he should fine him the full
penalty of 101. and costs.
The money was paid.

the [labia Hood public-house, Skinner-street,
Bishopsgate, where, after they had stayed drink-
ing for some considerable time, they got fighting
in parlour. They were, however, turned out
of that room, but immediately afterwards "strip-
ped," and turned to, for a second time, iii the bar,
to the great annoyance of the landlady and custo-
mers, until at last they were put into the street.
They then began creating an uproar outside, and
the prisoner, walking up to the door, deliberately
put her fist through a square of glass value 255.
She was then given into custody, being quite drunk
and conveyed to the Bishopsgate-street police-sta-
tion from which she was removed shorty after to
the M or-lane station, where about "'in.,: o'clock,
police conitable 150, on visiting her in her
cell, found her nearly strangled by a piece of tape,
which was twisted and tied so tightly round her
neck, that it was oily by the aid of his wife, whom
he called to his assistance, he was able to cut it off,
and only after some considerable trouble, and the
liberal application of restorative; they were able to
briag her to her senses.
The prisoner said she lived in the Hackney-road,
and went out on Mind ty morning to receive 100.,
when she met the two women referred to in the
evidence, who asked her to treat thorn, and she
took them into the Robin Hood for that purpose.
They were c ,mfortable enough so long as her 10s.
lasted, but when her money was gone her com-
panions, who she supposed thought she had get
more, abused her and struck her, and that was how
the row began. As for the window, she was lean-
ing on the door and her elbow went through it
accidentally.

HAMMERSMITH.—Mr. Ch'tries Clark Wil-
liams, pawnbroker, of High-street, Notting-hill,
was summoned for refusing to deliver a pledge
after the principal and interest had been tendered.
The defendant was represented by his assistant,
and Mr. Hurry also appeared for him.
Henry Barfoot, a painter, living at No. 2, Dart-
mot►th-street, Notting-hull, stated that on the 23d
of July last he pledged at the defendant's shop two
brushes, called "dusters," for ls., and received
two duplicates. On the 17th inst. he sent his
daughter, a little girl, to redeem them. He gave
her a polite note to the pawnbroker and is. lid.,
being the principal and interest. His daughter
returned, stating that 4d. more was required for
the interest before they could be redeemed. She
;Iso brought back the tickets, and he then found
that the date of one had been altered from the
24th to the 23d of July. He believed it was a
trick to obtain double interest upon the pledge,
and he therefore took out the su►nmong, as they
refused to deliver up the brushes without the in-
terest on the two tickets.

In answer to questions by Mr. 'lorry, the wit-
ness and he pawned the brushes in the name of
John Brown. , He took the brushes in one parcel,
and he would swear they were one pledge and not
two. Be thought at the time it was a peculiar
transaction, and be had his suspicions. It was the
only time he had ever pledged, or he might have
made some inquiries when the two tickets wtre
delivered to him.
Eliza Barfoot, the daughter, corroborated her
father's evidence, and said she saw one of the
young men alter a figure on the ticket.
Mr. Horry submitted that the complainant had
placid himself out of court on his showing that he
had given a false name, whereby he had incurred
punishment of three months' imprisonment.
Mr. Ingham referred to the 10th section of the
Pawnbrokers Act, and said it did not make the
giving a false name an offence ; it merely made it
a ci•cum-tance of suspicion.
Mr. Horry then went on the merits of the case,
and said it was the practice to make separate
pledges of duster brushes, for if they were put
together it injured the hair.
The complainant denied that it was necessary to
separate them, and said he took them in oue parcel.
The assistant said he remembered taking in the
brushes, and told the man at the time he could not
take them as one pledge. He gave him 6d. upon
each and the two tickets.

The prisoner's husband, who was in court, said
his wife was au easy, good-natured creature, who
was easily led astray by some bad ones, -vho threw
themselves in her way, but she wasn't altogether a
bad wife for an " honest, respectable working man"
like himself.

The Lord Mayor commenced to address the pri-
soner in his usual admonitory strain when drunk-
enness is in question, particularly enlarging upon
the disgrace brought by her conduct upon an
" honest and respectable husband," when an
officer in court said the prisoner and her husband,
until recently, kept a brothel in Montague-court,
Bishopsgate, and the husband, admitting that he
had kept the brothel referred to for six or seven
years, still protested that he was an "honest and
respectable man"---iis "he had been drawn into
it"—and all his lordship's eloquence could not
persuade him to the contrary.
Ultimately the Lord Mayor dismissed this "re-
spectable man" with indignant disgust, and fined
his equally "respectable" wife 255. for the damage,
and 20s. for being drunk, or one month's impri-
sonment. -
In default of payment she was locked up.

GUILDHALL.—WiIIiam Rawson, who was re-
manded from Saturday last, was committed for
trial upon three separate charges of obtainiog
goods of the total value of 1601.

Mr. Ingham recommended that the parties should
settle the case, for he could not suppose that Mr.
Williams, who had always conducted his business
with propriety, had given the two tickets on one
pledge for the purpose of getting double interest.
The assistant would rather leave it to his worship
to decide, as it was very important to pawnbrokers.
Persons might come to their shops wit h two tickets,
and declare the property was pawned at the same
time, and only pay single interest up )n them.
Mr. Ingh im then said he should dismiss the
summons.

MARYLEBONE.—John Train, a donkey dri-
ver, was charged before Mr. Broughton with the
following act of cruelty.
Mr. Lowe, chief unstable of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, gave
evidence that on Monday afternoon he saw the
prisoner driving three donkeys on the Lower-heath
Hampstead. They were ridden by females up a
steep hill, leading to the Upper-heath. They were
going at a fast trot, but notwithstanding they
were progressing as fast as they could, the prisoner
inflicted numerous blows over the hips and hocks
of the poor beasts with great violence with a
cudgel, which he continued to the top of the road,
where he, witness, lost sight of him. In a short
time the prisoner retuned, himself riding one of
them, galloping the whole of them down the hill,
and beating them all over the head and eyes with
the cudgel till he reached the blitom of the hill.
The blows were given with such force that the
sound resembled the beating of carpets more than
anything else. He had an officer of the society
with him, into whose cus'ody he was given.
Thomas Bradley, the officer alluded to, cor-
rohomted Mr. Lowe's statement.
Mr. Broughton, after severely animadverting
upon the cruelty exercised by the prisoner, inflicted
on him a penalty of 20e., o in default of payment, three weeks imprisonment in the House of Correc-
tio
n.
The prisoner was then locked up.

HIPPOPHAGY-The Journal clt 'Min says :—" A
dinner of horseflesh has just taken plaee at Bourg, some
amateurs having assembled at the Hotel du Midi for the
purpose. Soups, cutlets, steaks, and roast joints were
made from a fine animal which it had been found neces-
sary to kill on the previous day. The guests did not,
however, appear to be much delighted with the novelty.
Notwithstanding all the care used in the preparation of
the dishes, there still remained a certain flavour sui
genes-is which sfrected delicate palates, and we think it
will be long before the genuine beef will be supplanted
by the flesh of the horse."
