POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE JUDGE AND THE FIRE ESCAPE CONDUCTOR.—James
Rowlands, a fire escape conductor, was charged before Mr.
Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly
manner, and assaulting Mr. Henry George Brooks, judge of
the Judge and Jury Society and refreshment-house keeper,
No. 21, Leicester-square. _ _ .

Mr. Brooks said that shortly before twelve o'clock last
night, in consequence of what he was informed, he went
into his public-room, and saw the defendant very violent,
and making use of bad language. He requested the defen-
dant to leave, but he refused, and kept shouting out
" Music." Ho told the defendant that be had no music, and
again requested him to leave, and as he would not he
called a constable, and the defendant then said be would
leave. He (Mr. Brooks) left, as also did the constable
thinking the defendant would go away, but about ten
minutes afterwards he was again sent for, and
found the defendant bad forced his way into a
a private room and taken up a chair. He tried to get the
defendant out of the room, and the defendant then seized
him roughly and threw him against the wall and head-
long down stairs, endangering his neck. He then got a
second constable, and after a great deal of difficulty in
getting 'the defendant into the street he gave him into
custody.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant
.said the de-
fendant was very drunk, and that he never saw a con-
stable show more forbearance than the one who took him
to the station, and he felt it his duty to mention the fact.
The defendant denied calling out in the room, but Mr.
Brooks said he called out "Music" and "Banjo."
Mr. Brooks, manager, proved hearing the defendant call
out " Music" and "Banjo," although he requested him
not to do so. A waiter proved seeing the defendant throw
Mr. Brooks against the wall ; and Suckling, 177 0, proved
that the defendant was drunk and used very bad language.
In his defence, the defendant said that he never touched
the complainant, and that the complainant was intoxi-
cated.

Sergeant Appleton and the constable both stated that
Mr. Brooks was quite sober.
The defendant's inspector said defendant had been four
times reported for absence from duty. He would now have
to appear before the committee, and after what had oc-
curred would be dismissed, the society not permitting such
conduct.

Mr. Knox said the defendant's.gtating that Mr. Brooks
was drunk, when it was proved that he was not so, made
him think very badly of him in trying to take away a
man's character. As the defendant would be discharged
from his employ, he would not send him to prison for a
month, as he otherwise would have done, but he would
give him the option of paying a fine of .£3, or a month's
imprisonment.

Prince Consort's Windsor Association.

The annual meeting of this exceilent association, under
the special patronage of her Majesty, was held in the
Home Park yesterday (Thursday.)
Since the death of his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort, the Prince of Wales has attended the annual distri-
bution of the prizes. This year it was arranged that his
Royal Highness the Duke:of Edinburgh should present the
prizes, but at a late hour, as was explained by Major-Gen.
F. H. Seymour, most important engagements had pre-
vented his coming.
At four o'clock the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Ox-
ford entered the Royal tent, with Major-General F. H.
Seymour, Viscount Kirkaldie, the Rev. H. J. Ellison, Mr.
John Jones, the Mayor, Mr. T. A. Moore, and the Rev. S.
Neville, when his lordship addressed the successful candi-
dates ; after which Major-Gen. Seymour took the chair.
The Rev. S. NEVILLE read the report, from which it ap-
peared that the society is now in its sixteenth year, and is
progressing very satisfactorily. The number of applicants
was so great that the committee had often been obliged to
reject cases in which the term of service had been even
longer than 16 years. The honorary secretaries and visitors
at the cottages report that they uniformly find a hearty
readiness to receive their visits, and the result of their ex-
perience is that a progressive improvement in the condition
of the cottages and gardens, especially in certain districts, is
decidedly manifested. Tho allotment gardens were in a
very satisfactory state, but the number of them had been
diminished by the extent to which building was going on at
and near Windsor. The savings bank worked well. This
year there were 101 applicants for 118 prizes, and the sums
awarded amounted to .£152 55., and about £25 to exhibitors.
Her Majesty was specially thanked for singing the prize
cards.

After reading the report, the prizes were presented to the
successful candidates by Major-Gen. Seymour, as follows :

EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN
MILE-END.—An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphrey;
coroner, at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Charles-street,
Mile-end Old Town, on Wednesday, relative to the death,
under very singular circumstances, of two new-born
children, the illegitimate offspring of a young woman
named Emily Warner. Jane Warner, a widow residing at
8, James-street, Mile-end, said that the two deceased were
the children of her daughter Emily, a bead worker, who
was in her twentieth year. Last Saturday night, between
11 and 12 o'clock, witness, her daughter Emily, and her
youngest daughter Rannah, aged ten, went to bed to-
gether in the same bed. Witness did not know that the
elder girl had gone wrong. During the night Emily
asked for a drink of water, saying she did not feel well ;
witness gave it to her, and fell asleep. On Sunday
morning, when she awoke, Emily said that she could not
get up, for something had happened. Witness then
found the two deceased children in the bed dead. She put
them at once in an empty pail and fetched a doctor. In
cross-examination by the coroner, it was elicited that wit-
ness had suspected that something was wrong with her
positively denied that it was so
witness daughter,)eblui
et
vwedilehn sheriemplicitly. No baby clothes were
prepared. Witness had not heard anything during the
course of the night, and the children were certainly dead
when she awoke in the morning. Witness knew that her
daughter kept company with a young man named Richard
Waits. Mr. F. I. Riley said that ho was called in, and
told that the girl had had a miscarriage. When he de-
manded to see the children a pail was produced half full
of water, and in it he found two fully-developed male
children, quite dead. The post-mortem examination
showed that the tongues and eyes protruded, and there
was marked lividity. If the children had been born
alive he should attribute their deaths to suffocation or
strangulation. But he could not undertake to say that.
they had been born alive. If there had been proper at-
tendance, &c., there was no reason why they should not
have been born alive. He had hardly thought it possible
that Mrs. Warner could have been in the same bed while
the children were born and have known nothing about it ;

have lived. The coroner having remarked upon the case,
the jury returned a verdict " That the deceased children,
were found dead in a bed; that there was no reason why
they should not have been born alive ; but under what cir-
cumstances they came by their deaths the evidence failed
to prove."

LAST HOURS ON THE LONDON.—For my part I
thought she might keep afloat four or five hours yet
(at this time I would not ask anybody's opinion for fear of
being misled), and concluded I would go down to my state
room to put en a
comfortably for a few hours, if I had to die then. Before
dry coat. I thought I might as well live
going I satisfied myself she would not sink while I was
below, as I had a long distance to go, and had a particular
horror of being, closed in. I went down the companion
way to the cuddy deck, then around and down to between
deck. At this time the passengers had ceased with the
buckets, thinking their labour useless. There was no one
there at the time but the captain. He had been having a
look at the engine room. I spoke to him, and asked him if
he thought it any use to dill continue carrying up water ;

plat-
forms, and producing an unearthly noise. And a great
pool of water it appeared to be. We stood looking for a
minute or two. When he tamed to go aft, I said, Well,
captain, what do you say ?" He replied, You may, but
I think it's no use." We then went up the steps on to the
cuddy-deck. There was a division between the after state
rooms and the cuddy. In passing these rooms we saw
some sailors and firemen in there opening cases of liquor,
and some with bottles of brandy in their hands : there
were beveral drunk at this time. The captain said to them,
calling some by name, " Don't do that, boys! don't die
cowards !" I saw a sailor down on his knees, feeling
about in a foot of water for a sovereign which
he had dropped out of his mouth. He was as cool
and eager looking for it as a street Arab would
be for a sixpence he had seen fall. I saw standing
at the cuddy-door a first-class passenger with a life-pre-
server strapped round him. I then turned and went down
again to go to my room, opened one of my trunks, took
out a coat, saw my watch and purse ; thought to myself,
well, I may as well take them; laid them out, shut the
trunk, was particular in locking it (such is the force of
habit): then put my watch in my pocket. At that moment
the ship gave a roll, the water covering the port, which
darkened the room, and in
picking up my coat, my purse
fell into the water. There was about a foot and a half
there at the time. I put my arm down, and felt for half a
minute, like the sailor for the sovereign, but could not find
it : then walked out into the cabin ; there were about half
a dozen there at that time. I saw a Mr. Lemmon, of Mel-
bourne ; I spoke to a Mr. Harding—he shook his head
as much as to say he did not wish to be interrupted
then : some sitting with their heads resting on the table
—almost all preparing for death, and patiently waiting.
I saw an elderly person strapping up a railway-
rug into a bundle ; shortly after he was seen on
deck with it, when the captain, with a faint smile,
asked him if he intended taking it with him. I have since
been told by friends of this gentleman that he had 1,000
sovereigns with him ; and probably
these were in the rug.
• . . I got on the poop as soon as I could, knowing
now that the end was near. I had some difficulty in get-
ting up the staircase between the cuddy and the poop,
as it was crowded with people, who
were all mute. It was
then about one o'clock or half-past one in the day, Thurs-
day, 11th January. Just as I got on to the poop I saw an
elderly couple, man and wife, with three children, two
little girls about eight to ten years of age, and 'an infant.
I am not sure, but I think they were the same who were
wrecked a short time previously in the Dunbar, and this
was the second, if not the third, attempt they had made to
get
to Australia. The mother and the two girls were sit-
ting on the lee-side, close to the wizen rigging, and the
father alongside
of them, holding an infant in his arms,
and shielding it from the spray that was blowing clean
over from windward. I took the mother and two girls up,
and set them midshipi in the lee of the after companion-
way. In about half an hour after, and just before we
left the ship, I saw the mother and two girls washing
about on deck, drowned.—Corn4ill Magazine for July.
