BOW-STREET.--John Bryan, an ill-looking
fellow, but much better dressed than is usual for
men of his class, was charged with defrauding Capt.
Valentine Baker, of the 10th Hussars, by selling
him a false card of the Ascot races.

Captain Baker stated that a little before twelve
o'clock that morning he was driving in his carriage
to the Waterloo Station, on his way to Ascot, t,)
attend the races, when the prisoner accosted him,
asking him to buy a card of the races. He bought
one, and paid the prisoner ls. for it. He went on
a little way, and then, looking at the card, disco-
vered that it was one of last year's, the date having
been altered. Upon this be went back, and as soon
as the prisoner caught sight of him he ran away.
He followed and caught him, and gave him in
charge. A number of similar cards, altered in the
same way, were found upon him. Another gentle-
man came up, and stated that he had been defrauded
in the same way, but he did not give his name.
The prisoner mid be was not aware that the cards
bad been altered,
Mr. Jardine observed that this was a scandalous
fraud, and one which the prisoner probably expected
to commit with impunity, as it might be supposed
that persons in a hurry to the station to go to the
races would not come back to complain of it, even
if they discovered it, before entering the train.
The prisoner was remanded for further examina-
tion.

him a paper marked outside, " Poison." He then
shook her and inquired wiat she meant by that,
when she, with some difficulty, told him she had
taken poison, and that she was dying. Witness

The magistrate asked what was the description
of poison she took ?
The constable replied that the prisoner told the
doctor at the hospital that it was precipitate powder,
and that was ascertained to be a fact.
The prisoner, who seemed 'to have suffered con-
siderably from her folly, said she was extremely
sorry, and she should not have taken the powder
only she was drunk, and had quarrelled with her hus-
band. She had three children, and she purchased
the poison to rub their hair.
The magistrate asked what her husband was ?
She answered that he worked at Hibernia-wharf.

The latter, a hard-working old man, said that he
obtained his livelihood by working at the wharves,
and brought up a large family, who chiefly sup-
ported themselves, except the prisoner, who lived
at home. On the previous afternoon his wife was
confined. About 2 o'clock that morning the pri-
soner came home intoxicated, and roused them all
up. He then entered the. room in which his mother
and the baby were lying, and, making use of an
oath, struck her_several times and told her to get
up. She called out for assistance, and when witness
went up his son had pulled her out of bed, and
was threatening to throw her out of window. He
immediately seized hold of him to prevent him,
and had not a constable come in at the time he be-
lieved murder would have been committed.
Sentenced to six months, with hard labour.

THAMES.—Bartholomew Norton, a tall man,
about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with violently assaulting his wife Eliza
Norton, an attenuated, careworn looking woman,
who presented herself in court with marks of brutal
violence on her face, and with one of her eyes
clo :ed.

The complainant said her husband sometimes
played upon the violin and sometimes went to sea,
and that when ho was on shore ho was continually
beating her. About six weeks ago her husband
struck her on the head with a chair, and knocked
her about. He had beaten and kicked her repeat-
edly. On Wednesday night she was seated outside
her door in Russell-court, St. George's-in-the-East,
when her husband came home and kicked her about
the face and body. She was anxious her husband
should not be punished, but only that he should be
bound over t.) keep the peace towards her, and not
ill-use her.
A policeman confirmed the wife's statement, and
gave the prisoner a bad character.
The prisoner, i❑ defence, said that he was inno-
cent of the charge, and that his wife was an habi-
tual drunkard, in the practice of pawning and sell-
ing his furuiture, linen, and wearing apparel, and
also his children's clothe?. He called a man named
Denis Murphy, who said that he had lived in the
same house as the prisoner for three weeks, and
always found him to be a very quiet inofiensin.
man. He believed the wife had been taking an
extra drop lately.
Mrs. Norton solemnly denied the truth of the
prisoner's statement.
Mr. Selfe believed what the woman said, more
particularly as she wished to shield her husband
from punishment. He had no doubt the prisoner
kicked his wife iu the face on Wednesday night,
and for that assault he sentenced him to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour.

CUNNING or THE Fox.—A. gamekeeper on the estate
near Lochawe, who had been annoyed by the depreda-
tion of foxes, diseavered a kennel in a glen at the side
of a email loch. While watching one evening for the
appearance of the tenants. he observed a brace of wild
ducks floating on the loch ; in ,a little while a fox was
seen approaching the water side with cautious steps ;
on reaching it he picked up. a bunch of heather
and placed it in his mouth, so as to cover his
head ; then slipping into the water,. and immersing
all but his nose, be floated slowly and quietly down to
where the birds were quacking out delight in fancied
security, seeing nothing near them but a bunch of weed.
In due time he neared the ducks, dropped the heather,
and substituted a bird, with which he returned to the
lochside and was making of to his young with the prize,
when the keeper, who had noted all his movements,
closed them by the discharge of his double-barrel.
Surely such sagacity deserved a better fate,—Scotch
