POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 12.

HAMMERSMITH.—SINGULAR CHARGE OF
THREATENING TO SHOOT A LADY.—Lieutenant
Thomas Patrick Fraser Tytler, of the 17th Regi•
ment of the Madras army, was brought up in cus-
tody of Fletcher, one of the warrant officers of the
court, and placed in the dock before Mr. Poynter,
charged with threatening to shoot Georgina Fraser
Tytler, by presenting a loaded pistol at her.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, attended for the
defendant, and pleaded not guilty to the warrant.
The complainant deposed that she was the wife
of Alexander Fraser Tytler, the defendant's brother,
and resided at No. 2, Hammersmith-terrace. On
the night of the 23d ult. the defendant presented a
loaded pistol at her, within a yard of her head, and
which was on •at full cock. It occurred outside
3, Hammersmith-terrace. He was on the door-
step of that house, and witness was standing upon
the pavement in front. A great number of persons
had collected in consequence of the gentleman at
No. 3 having thrashed the defendant with a horse-
whip for insulting his mother. After he had re-
ceived the horsewhipping he ran into witness's
house, and took up the loaded pistol, which was
lying upon the table, and when be came out he pre-
sented it at her and others. She was merely look-
ing, and had nothing to do with the quarrel. 'She
was so alarmed at the pistol being presented at her
that she took refuge in a tradesman's house until
he was gone. He did not threaten her, but he used
very offensive language. While in the dining-
room, before the occurrence, he told her he bore
her the greatest The defendant came on
her husband's business.

In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, the witness
said Mr. Alfred Moore lived at No. 3. He was a
photographist, and she had known him about twelve
months. She denied being on friendly terms with
him. She was in the habit of visiting him fora the
purpose of spending the evenings with Miss Moore.
She denied that she was in the habit of spending
the evenings with him in the absence of Miss
Moore. The witness here objected to these ques-
tions being put to her.
Mr. Paynter observed to Mr. Lewis that the
questions could not form an excuse or justification
for the oftertce. _

Mr. Lewis said he agreed with his worship in
that view, but his object was to put the Court in
possession of the facts.
Mr. Paynter said that line of cross-examination
could only go to show the motive.

The cross-examination was then proceeded with,
and the witness said the defendant came for some
lugga:fe belonging to her husband. She went to
Mr. Moore's to let him know that the defendant was
there. She knew that he wanted to give the de-
fendant a horsewhipping for insulting his mother.
She denied having abused the defendant. She saw
Mr. Moore horsewhip him in the open street. She
admitted'having said it served him quite right. She
denied having assisted Mr. Moore in the horse-
whipping.
Mr. Lewis—What became of the whip?
The Witness—l believe the defendant kept it as
a curiosity. (Laughter.)
In answer to further questions from Mr. Lewis
the complainant said he presented tie pistol at the
whole of the crowd as well as at her. Her husband
brought the loaded pistol and kept it on the table.
The defendant was unaware of a loaded pistol being
kept there.

Paynter thought it quite unnecessary to carry
the case any further. The act was unjustifiable,
and he should order defendant to enter into his
own recognisances in the sum of £lOO to keep the
peace for six months.
Mr. Lewis said they denied having presented the
pistol.
Mr. Paynter wished to know if the defendant
denied having the pistol.
The Defendant said he had the pistol.
Mr. Lewis said he was not aware that it Was
loaded. His client had just returned from India
where he had suffered great privations, and there
was no ground for saying that he intended to shoot
the complainant.
Mr. Paynter said he had nothing to do with the
origin of the misunderstanding. It was his duty
to see that the peace was preserved.
The defendant having entered into the required
recognisances was discharged, and he left the court
with his friends.

MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION OF A cHIL

Within the past few days considerable excite

village on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, n▪ con-

attired and lady-like person, who introduced her-

in the house likely to be parted with, but suggested
that probably her sister-in-law, Mrs. Siddons, who,
lived in that town, might know some one possessed
of a little responsibility who would be glad to
accept the offer and brilliant prospects depicted by
the generous stranger. Thither, accordingly, they
went, and after the lady had told her wants! lkl.
Siddons said she knew a young damsel living at
Compton who had made a, faux pas, and who would
