POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day),

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CHARGE OF MANSLAITGIITER. AGAINST A COACHMAN.
—William Brown, a coachman, residing at 22, Davie's-
mews, Berkeley-square, was charged before Mr. Beadon
with causing the death of Robert Bridge Langham by
striking him on the head with a setter (an implement used
to elevate the wheels of carriages) on the 19th inst.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prisoner.

From the evidence of Sarah Longhorn, the wife of de-
ceased, a stableman employed in Davie's-mews, it ap-
peared that some words :had ensued between the, prisoner
and her husband, owing to the prisoner's having
made a complaint against her husband to his master.
On the morning of Tuesday, the 10th instant, she
was looking out of an upper door of one of the
houses, and heard her husband say he wanted some of his
master's work, to which the prisoner replied, " Oh, that's
your game, it is," and then went and drew the iron pin
from the setter, followed her husband into the coachhouse,
and then struck him on the forehead a violent blow, which
caused him on his coining out to lean against a carriage
and the blood to flow profusely from the wound. He was
then taken by her to a surgeon, and, getting gradually
worse, at length went to St. Georges's Hospital, where he
died on the previous day.
The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination
by Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, with
the view of showing that the deceased had struck the first
blow, but this she denied.

Elizabeth Ann Miller, sister-in-law of the deceased, said
she saw the prisoner follow the deceased into the coach-
house with the pin in his hand, and afterwards he came out
bleeding profusely from a wound in the head.
_ _

By Mr. Lewis—Her brother-in-law, the deceased, had
said to the prisoner, he " Would not mind spoiling the look
of his ugly face," before the prisoner struck him. She did
not hear the deceased challenge the prisoner to fight him.
Sergeant Silverton, 293 A, said the surgeon was not
present, and he therefore wished for a remand.

Mr. Lewis said he should call several witnesses, some of
whom would throw quite a different complexion on the
case. But he should now merely call one.

Mary Donthitt said she heard the prisoner and deceased
previous to this affair aggravating one another, and heard
the prisoner say the deceased had grazed his carriage wheel,
to which the deceased replied, " I know I did, and you must
be a nice - to tell my master."
After some further evidence the prisoner was remanded.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £60.--An interesting scullers'
race, although all one way, came off yesterday between
George Wade, a waterman, of Stone-stairs, Ratcliff, and
Walter Bell, of Richmond, also a waterman. The race was
£3O a side ; the distance from Putney to Mortlake. Bell
has only won one race, and his opponent has rowed several.
Bell was the favourite at about 5 to 4, 6 to 4 being given in
some instances. The champion of the Thames (Henry
Kelly, of Fulham) was chosen referee ; and "Wade, having
won the toss, went over to Middlesex. The start was even,
and they continued level for 100 yards, when Bell, who
seemed to be a most powerful fellow, went into the first
place, and kept the lead all the way ; but the race was well
contested throughout, and Wade, although astern, rowed
better than he ever did before. Bell ultimately won by 25
seconds. The race was rowed under 25 minutes.
SCULLERS' RACE FOR £4s.—Another waterman's scul-
lers' race took place yesterday, the competitors being
Frederick Lett, a man of about 40, and George Driver,
some years younger—the former of Lambeth, and the latter
of Wandsworth, who was freely backed at 6 and 7 to 4, and
won the toss. George Drewitt, of Chelsea, was chosen re-
feree, when Driver took the start, and, after rowing a short
distance ahead of his opponent for a mile, gradually got
away, and Lett was beaten by 100 yards. The distance
was from Putney to Barnes Railway-bridge.
LANDSMEN'S SCULLERS RACE.—To wind up yesterday's
races, a sculling contest came off between Henry Brown
and Thomas Chapman, both landsmen, of Lambeth. They
rowed for £lO a side from Putney to Barnes, and Brown
was slightly the favourite. James Finnis, of the Tower,
was referee. Brown won the toss, and profiting by it,
rowed ahead at once, keeping his lead 100 yards. After
this he caught a crab and his opponent was by him in an
instant, but Brown soon recovered himself, and they rowed
a desperate race for upwards of half a mile, when Brown
was again ahead, and continued to lead all the way, but the
race was so close that there was never much more than two
lengths between them, and Brown eventually won by three
lengths. All the races were very numerously attended by
friends of the parties.
