MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S

SISTER.
Earl ST. GERMANS preiented petitions from
Exeter, Leicester, and other places, in favour of the bill
which legalised the marriage with a deceased wile's
sister.

Lora CAMPBELL presented a petition against the
bill, to which he said he should give his strenuous and
everlasting opposi.ion.
Lord REDESDALE asked when it was intended to
bring forward the second reading of the bill t but no an-
swer was given to the noble lord's question.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL.
Lord TRURO asked the noble and learned lord on
the woolsack, whether there was any prospect of this
bill being brought on during the present session !

The LORD-CHANCELLOR said in the course of a
few days he should be able to lay the bill on the table,
hut be did not thick there was any probability
of its passing this session, and it was only in conse-
quence of the extreme difficulty with which the subject
was surrounded that it had not been brought in before.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

WATCH ROBBERY.-Mary Ann Clark was charged
before Mr. Ihadon with stealing a watch, the property of
James Smith, 8, Grosvenor-street, Stepney.

- - - •
The prosecutor, Who is a respectable-looking, middy
aged person, said he was a sea••faring man, and that
at ten on the previous night he met the prisoner and
accompanied her to a house in Earl'a-couit. After
being there a few minutes he missed his watch and abide,
and on searching the room he found the chain on the
bed, but bad not been able to discover his watch. The
chain bad been broken. He accused the prisoner of
having taker, the watch, and tried to search her, but n
good many people came into the room, and there was
then an opportunity of passing it to one of thew.
A constable said she had been charged before for
felony.
The prisoner, who it is bettered has been more than
once committed, was remanded.
The prosecutor applied for the restoration of the
chain.

Mr. Beadon refused the application, saying it would
be required hereafter.

THAMES.

THE CONSERVANCY OF THE THANES. —A clerk from
the office of the City Solicitor applied to Mr. Yardley
for Eurnmon4c s against Wet+ men for throwing done
int., the liver Thames from the pier-head, St. }lathe•
r no's Dock. The clerk said he made the application
under the Thames Conservancy Act, which imposed
heavy penalties on persons throwing mud, filth, dung,
or other refuse into the Tbames. The ding was not fully
tbrowninto the Thames.

Mr. Yardley—l wish nothing more than that went
into the Thames.

The clerk— I am instructed to ask for a summons.
Mr. Yardlev—Yon are entitled to a summonsj but
I consider it a most inconsistent proceeding. Under
another Act of Parliament, thousands of tons of refuse
are pouring into the Thames cl7dly ; while, under the
Conservancy Act, a person is liable to a penalty for
throwing mud or dung in small quantities. The eels-
pools of the houses are discharging their contents lama*
unremitting stream i►,to the Thames, and now a sum-
mons is a3ked f r against parties who are said to hove
thrown dung into the river, and they are liable to a.
penalty of 301. It is a mcst inconsistent proceeding
altogether.
A summons was then granted.
