for the purpose of betting.
Superintendent Hannant, C division, having produced
the Commissioners' warrant, authorising him to enter
the above house, stated that about a quarter-past 9 last
night he went there, accompanied by Inspector Webbe,
and some constables. He went into the parlour, where
he found East sitting at a table with a list before him
relating to several races. This list he now pro-
duced. Under that list he found a second list,
which ho also produced, with the names of the
horses and persons, with the various odds written
upon them. He told the defendant who be was and
the nature of his business there, but be made no reply.
The other defendant, Richard Higgs, was sitting by his
side entering something in a book. The other de
fendants were in the parlour. On searching the place
a great quantity of cards referring to various races to
come off were found, as well as books containing entries
of numerous bets made thereon. The whole of the de-
fendants were removed to the station-house. On East
was found about 601. in gold and silver.
Inspector Webb corroborated the above statement.
Police Constable Draper 326 A, proved visiting the
Rising Sun, kept by the defendant East, on the 13th
instant, and seeing several people in front of, the bar,
East came down stairs, and a man asked him what was
the odds on Arsenal, East said he would give 6 to 1, and
they both walked into the parlour. Witness further
proved that on the occasion of a second visit, he saw
bets made with the defendant East.

This completed the case against the defendant.
Mr, Herring having addressed the court on behalf of
the defendant,

Mr. Beadon discharged the whole of the defendants
with the exception of East, who was fined 301. or two
months. The fine was paid.

_HEALTH OF LOIVDON DFRING THE

WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)

The total numbs); of deaths registered in London in
the week that ended on Saturday was 1,050, of which
514 were deaths of males, 536 those of females. In the
10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding with last week was 1,046 ; but, as
the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popula-
tion, it is necessary for comparison that the average
should be raised in proportion to the increase, in which
case it will become 1,151. It appears that the number
of persons who died last week was less by 100 than
would have died if the 'average rate of mortality had
ruled, a result which must be accepted as proof of a
favourable condition of the public health.
The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory
organs in the present returns are 202 ; the corrected
average for corresponding weeks is 184. Bronchitis
was fatal in 102 cases, being about half of the whole
number under the general head of pulrnonqry diseases
to which it belongs. This complaint exhibit; a greater
fatality than is usual in the second week in May, in
consequence of the unseasonable coldness that pre-
vailed in previous weeks ; for according to the ordinary
=delay the number last week should not have ex-
ceeded 76. The deaths from pneumonia (inflam-
mation of the lungs) are 75, and ex tctly agree with the
average. I:Cooping-cough, which carried off 51 children,
is now rather less fatal than it was in the earlier months
of the year ; scarlatina de. lined to 14, and no death from
this complaint was returned from the districts on the
south side of the river. Two cases of smallpox were re-
gistered ; 39 of typhus and common fever, the average
being 55. Of the six principal diseases of the zymotic
character, no fatal cases were returned in Wandsworth,
Rotherhithe, or Camberwell, except one in the l►st-men-
tioned district ; only two in Whitechapel, and two in
Lewisham. Two deaths are referred to carbuncle. Three
persons died of intemperance.
In the present returns are the deaths of six nonagena•
rians—a man 90 years of age, a widow 92 years, a man
93 years, a man and a woman 94 years, and a woman
who died in the Merchant Tailors' Almshouses at Lee at
the age of 97 years.
Last week the births of 873 boys and 800 girls, in all
1,682 children, were registered in London. In the 10
corresponding weeks of the year 1347-56 the average
number was 1,523.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the -mean
height of the barometer for the week was '29 808 in.
The highest reading was 30'01 in. on Saturday. The
mean temperature of the week was 57.6 deg., which is
5 9 deg. higher than the average of the same week in 43
years. It Nas also higher than the mean of the previous
week by 13 deg. The mean daily temperature was
above the average on every day after Sunday, and on
Friday and Saturday the excess was 10 and 12 degrees.
The lowest temperature was 39.1 deg., and occurred on
Sunday, the 10th ; the highest was 80.2 deg., and oc-
curred on Saturday. The range of the week was there-
fore 41.1 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was
49 9 deg., and the' difference between this and the mean
temperature of the air was 7.7 deg. On Monday the
wind changed in the afternoon to south ; during the rest
of the week it was first in the south-west, then in the
east, and on Saturday changed to west. The fall of rain
was only 0.08 in. here was a good deal of lightning
on, several nights. Saturday was a very warm day.
