MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN NORFOLE.—Yesterday
an inquest was held at Postwick, Norfolk, on the body of
Mr. Christopher Robinson, whose lifeless body was dis-
covered on Sunday morning in a field in this village. The
jury returned as their verdict that thejeceased terminated
his existence while labouring under temporary insanity.
The dreadful wounds which the deceased appears to have
inflicted on himself led at first to the inference that he had
been murdered.
DEATII STOPPING A PROSECUTION.—A charge of
larceny should have been preferred against John Martin
an old man, and Clara Martin, a girl of 19, who claimed to
bo man and wife, before the magistrates at Kirby Moorsido
last week, but the prosecutor dropped down dead. The pri-
soners, however, were taken to Helmsley, and brought up
on another charge, and on Saturday were committed for
trial. When arrested at Malton the man was wearing four
shirts and the woman five chemises and a shirt, all stolen
mostly from Ness, North Riding.
Die quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.14 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in Loudon and Paris,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BOXING DAY.—Several persons were brought before Mr.
Knox this morning charged with different offences. When
the charge was only for being "drunk and incapable" the
offenders were discharged.

Thomas Davis, a carman, living in Westmoreland-street,
was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking
care of his horses and waggon.

Sergeant Binley, 7 E, stated that the prisoner was very
drunk, and Tilt() incapable of driving his horses. 'A
companion of the prisoner's who was along with him
ist night, and who was also drunk, fell off the waggon,
and was so seriously hurt that he was obliged to be taken
to TJaiversity College hospital, the wheels of the waggon
having passed over his side.

Mr. ;Knox hued the prisoner ss. for being drunk, stating
that if there was any reason to believe the prisoner was
to blame for the injuries the other man had received he
could be again taken into custody.

William Lambert, cab driver, badge 14,12;, was charged
with being drunk, furiously driving a horse, and damaging
cab 978, the property of Charles Clark.
The case having been proved by John Wright, the
driver of the damaged cab, and Gatland 746 A,
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 10s. or seven days forbeing
drunk and furious driving, and adjourned the case, as far
as the damage was concerned, for a week, to give the
owner an opportunity of ascertaining the amount of
damage. _ _

Richard Bellamy and Henry Darling, two butchers, were
charged with being drunk and assaulting Richard Gamble,
a young man, and Police-constable 336 A.
Gamble said that Bellamy came up to him last night in
Newport-court, and said, "You -, now I'v3 got you,"
and knocked him down, and Darling then kicked him in
the chest.

Gambles then stated that he was also assaulted by the
prisoners' friends.
Godwin, 336 A, said that hearing a disturbance in the
neighbourhood of Newport-market, he went up and saw
Bellamy strike Gamble, and on going to take him into
custody Darling knocked him down and Bellamy fell upon
him.

In answer to Mr. Knox the police stated that the pri-
soners were drunk.

John Osborne, a labourer, was charged with attempting
to rescue Darling from the custody of the police.
Evidence having been given,
Godwin stated that there was an ill-feeling existing on
the part of Bellamy and his friends against Gambles be-
cause of some information they had given the police re-
specting a young thief named Knott, who has been con-
victed.

. Mr. Knox fined Osborne 20s. or 14 days, and committed
the of her prisoners for a month each, without tho option of
a fine.

James Mayhew, a cab proprietor, was charged with
being drunk, and incapable of driving a horse and cab in
Regent-street.
Police-constable Staines 123 C proved the charge.
The defendant said that several of his mon got drunk
yesterday, and he therefore went out with the cab.
Mr. Knox—And followed the men's example ?
The defendant (smiling)—That was the case.
Mr. Knox said it was no smiling matter, and the de-
fendant, being a cab proprietor, ought to set an example to
his men. He would fine him 205., or 7 days.

Ellen Murphy and Emily Bryan, two servants, were
charged with being drunk and fighting together. The
women were found rolling about on the pavement, both
very drunk, and fighting together.

One of the defendants said she had nothing to say,
while the other said she did not know what to say.
The women were discharged with a caution.

THE POLICE AND THE BIRD DEALERS.—Mr. Perry, of
No. 10, Little St. Andrew-street, St. Martin's-lane, Mr.
Harrison, of No. 29, Great St. Andrew-street, and Mr.
Garrett, of No. 27, Great St. Andrew-street, appeared to
answer the complaint of the police of the F Division of
causing an obstruction by hanging out bird-cages in front
of their shops.
The evidence of the police went to show that the de-
fendants hung out cages in front of their shops, and that
persons collectedto look at the birds, and that thus an ob-
struction was caused.
The defendants stated that no obstruction was caused
by hanging out the cages, which were only a few inches
in depth, and that the: cages were hung some feet from
the ground and over the area gratings, and the facias of the
shops.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that ho could not see that any of-
fence had been committed by the defendants, and that the
police might just as well summon all butchers who hung
meat out in front of their shops, and say they caused an
obstruction. As for persons collecting that might bo
caused by a person even holding up his finger. He did not
consider any offence had been committed, and he should
dismiss the summonses.
