POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT. Morris Brown, travelling glazier,
residing in Spitalfields, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with being found in the house of the Dowager Lady Wen-
lock, 29, Berkeley-square, for the purpose of committing a
feleny.

Lord Wenlock was in attendance.
Elizabeth Amoy, in the service of the Dowager Lady
Wonlock, said - About 2, yesterday afternoon the pri-
soner rang the area bell. I opened the gate, and asked
what he wanted, and he said he had come to mend a
window at the top of the house. I asked who had sent
him, and he said a woman, but that he had forgotten her
name. Chas. Pullen, also in her ladyship's service, then
stepped forward, and ;asked the prisoner if he had come
from Mr. Naylor's, that being the name of the person doing
the repairs, and he said "yes." The prisoner was then
allowed to go upstairs.
Charles Pullin—On asking the prisoner if he came from
Mr. Naylor's, in James-street, Oxford-street, he said "yes."
I then allowed the prisoner to be shown up-stairs. In
consequence of something that took place I asked the pri-
soner why he had stated that he had come from Mr.
Naylor's, and he then said that he had not said so, and
he was then given into custody.
Morris Griffiths, in the service of Lord Wenlock,
said—l yesterday afternoon saw the prisoner on the land-
ing at the top of the house, and asked him his business.
Ho said that he wanted to see the lady who lived in the
room where he had been mending the window. I then
left the prisoner in charge of a carpenter who was at
work, while I made inquiries how ho got admitted. The
previous witness said the prisoner was admitted because
he said he came from Mr. Naylor's, and on his asking the
prisoner why he had said so he said he was a poor man,
and that the way he got his living was by going from
house to house. In the place where I saw the prisoner,
which was some distance from the room he had been in,
there were boxes containing valuable property, and although
the prisoner had been in the house half an hour he had not
done five minutes' work.
Evidence having been given showing that the prisoner
was not in Mr. Naylor's employ,
Edward Sharril], 60 C, said—After taking the prisoner
into custody I made inquiries, and found that he got his
living as a travelling glazier. He said a female had asked
him to come in and mend the window,
The Prisoner said he got his living honestly by mend-
ing windows ; he was not a thief. As soon as he found
what a large place he was in he thought there was some
mistake, and went to look for the person to get paid for
what he had done, when he saw the person (Griffiths).
Ho had been in the country five years, had a wife and
family, and could refer to persons who had employed him.
He told the person when he asked him why he said he
camp from Mr. Naylor's, that he did not say so, but that
he came for himself.
Mr. Knox—l am going to remand you for a week to
have a thorough investigation into your character, and
what you have been doing about London. You go to the
house, get in by a false representation. You are found to
have done but little work, and are found at some distance

from the room you were engaged in evidently prowling
about, and ithen you deny stating what the witnesses
swear you did say. It is clear that you simply wanted to
make your way into the house, whether with an honest
intention or not I cannot say. You can produce next
week persons who will speak to your character.

Mr. Doulton and the Lambeth Electors.

The result of the announcement on the part of
Mr. Doulton, last night, that he should vote for the
amendment of Earl Grosvenor in opposition to the
Government has produced the greatest excitement
in Lambeth. This morning the leading men in his
constituency, composed principally of small shop-
keepers and artisans, were induced to believe that
when the time came to vote he would be found on the
Government side, but the newspapers this morning set
aside the supposition, and a feeling of excitement and
opposition has arisen in the borough far exceeding
that of a contested electiim• The chief supporters
of Mr. Doulton expresS the greatest dissatisfaction
at his determination, and steps are now being taken
to hold a monster meeting of the electors and non-
electors of the borough for the purpose of calling
upon the hon. member to resign his seat in Parlia-
ment immediately.
The chances of the lion. gentleman's re-election to
Parliament for the borough of Lambeth are alto-
gether hopeless, and it is said amongst the electors
that he would not now get a dozen votes.

ELECTION COMMITTEES —This Day.

NEW WINDSOR.

_ •
Tho proceedings in this committee were commenced to-
day by the examination of Mr. Adam Murgatroyde, a pub-
. _ _

lican, of New Windsor, who said two rooms were- en-
gaged in his house prior to the election for committee-rooms
for Labouchere and Hoare. He was paid £2O at first, and
had since received a cheque for £25 on account. He supplied
a good deal of refreshment to the supporters of Labouchere
and Hoare's supporters. Amongst it were three or four
dozen of champagne, eight or nine gallons of port, the
same quantity of sherry, and as many gallons of beer.
There was a good deal of soda and brandy also drank.
(Laughter.) lie did not take any money for the
refreshment. He supposed Labouchero and Hoare
would pay, but they had repudiated sit. There were.
about 200 tx so of the free and independant in and
the house during the polling. Mr. Last, the agent for
Labouchere and Hoare, had refused to pay the bill for the
drink, but he said he would pay a fair sum for the biro of
the room. He wanted Last to pay for broken windows and
property destroyed, but he refused. He told Mr. Last that
his (witness's) wife was alarmed by the roughs, and she
supplied them with beer to keep them quiet.

By the Chairman—Ho could not tell who ordered the
champagne and sherry on the day of election. The voters
said it would be all right, and it was given. The agents
for Labouchere and Hoare were in the house, and must
have seen the wino supplied. The wine was sent upstairs,
but a great many of the roughs had got up there. His
house was near the Town-hall, at which tho election took
place. He did not think that the price he had charged for
the refreshments were exorbitant.
Another witness, a publican, also admitted that he had
supplied refreshments to the supporters of Labouchere and
Hoare. One item in the bill was £5O for punch—(laughter)
for Sir li. Iloare.

NOTTINGHAM.
The committee have come to a decision, unseating the
;svo members, S:r J. Clifton and Mr, Morley.

MAIDSTONE.

A Witness named Samuel Day was the first witness
examined this morning on the part of the sitting member.
He denied that he had over bribed or offered a bribe to
any of the electors. Ile took a very active part in the
election, but that was solely from principle.

MARKETS.—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our markets to-day, the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were moderate. The condition of the
samples was tolerably good, and the trade ruled steady, at
full prices. The market was fairly supplied with foreign
wheat. Most descriptions were in fair average request,
and prices ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at full

currencies.

The total supply of barley on offer was somewhat ex-
tensive. The trade was dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.
Malt was in fair demand at late quotations.
There was a good supply of oats on offer, and most de-
scriptions moved off steadily, at full prices.
Beans were firm, at full quotations.
There was a fair demand for peas, at late rates.
Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates.
