POLICE INTELLIGENCE-July 16.

GUILDHALL.—An elderly woman, dressed in
black, applied to Alderman Hale for his advice and
aqsi4tance under the following circumstances :—She
said her son bad lately died in St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, and desiring that he might be buried with
his father, she claimed the body, when she found
that it had been ide,,tified and claimed by other
parties, and she now wished for the magistrate's
authority and interference to obtain the body of
her son.

Alderman Hale said it was very extraordinary
that there should be two claimants for a corpse,
and inquired what interest the applicant had in the
matter besides her wish to bury him with her hus-
band.

Applicant said she believed he had left a little
money, which she expected to receive.
Alderman Hale askel who and what her son was.
Applicant said he was constable in the. police
force.

Alderman Hale asked if she was sure she had not
made a mistake.

' Applicant said she was quite certain it was her
son. She had not se-,n him f.,r 12 soars until a
few days before his death, when she identified him
iu I,is police dret=s while on duty.
Alderman Hale said she had better apply to the
steward of the hospital.
Applicant said she had done so, and she had been
to the police station, and she would not go again.
She came here for justice at the hands of the magi-
state, and she would not go anywhere else.
Inspector Foulger explained that the man referred
to by this woman had been a very careful steady
man in the force, and that while he was on duty in
the 011 Baiiey during the last sessions he fell down
in a fit, and was carried to the hospital, wh-re he
died. His friends had been communicated with,
and the result was that his father and mother came
to see him ; and they, as a matter of course, hay-
recognised him as their son,• claimed the body.
However, the matter was easily cleared up, as
every information connected with the deceased was
filed at the chief office in the Old Jewry.
Alderman Hale then directed the inspector to
give the old woman every facility to satisfy her as
whose son the decased really was.
Inspector Foulger intimated that the applicant
was not of sound mind ; and in the course of the
afternoon that there was not the slightest ground
for her claim to relationship with the deceased,
whose father came up from Saffron Walden, and
remained with him until his death.

LAMBETH.—AIice Williams, 35, was charged
with k.liing Henry Rix, of No. 1, Coburg-cottages,
Neat-street, Camberwell.
A neighbour deposed that there was a distur-
bance in the streyt that morning. The prisoner
was on the ground, and Mr. Rix holding her by
both wris•s. The prisoner was trying to throw a
sroue at Mr. Rix, and was using very bad language,
saying, " That she would do for him," and " did
not care if she went to Hu:en:longer-lane, and was
hanged for him."
From other wituesFes it appeared that Mr. Rix
fetched a policemen, who tetnained with him about
an hour. Upon his departure, the prisoner forced
open the door and attacked Mr. Rix again. Some
boys callefl the policeman back, and Mr. Rix was
found to be dead, with a deep wound unler the left
eye.*
Remanded.

Matthew Jongman, a dyer and scourer, of 54,
York-road, Lambeth, was charged with defrauding
Matthew Jennings, of 38, City-garden-row, City-
road, of 8/.
It appeared that an advertisement was inserted
in the Times, a few weeks since, which set forth
that the prisoner would, for a small consideration,
teach any respectable man a light business, by which
he might be able to gain a good livelihood. The pro-
secutor went to the house and saw the prisoner, who
agreed to teach him his trade if he gave him 101.,
and that he would allow him 10s. per week as wages.
The prosecutor went to the house and was set to
wa-h blankets, but after that there was nothing to
do except two pieces of ribbon to dye. The only
utensils in the place were four tubs, one being a
dyeing tub. He had received 21. back in the shape
of wages, but at last all his things were taken away
for rent.
The constable said that the prisoner had been
previously convicted, and had served nine months
for a similar offence.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH

INDIA.

A deputation, consisting of the following gentle-
men, had au interview with Lord Palmerston on
Wednesday on the suliject of the Red Sea telegraph
communication with India, China, and Australia :
—Mr. John C. Marsham, chairman, Mr. James
Allan, Sir G. Bonham, Bart., K.C.8., Mr. R. W.
Crawford, M.P., Mr. Chas. Freihfield, Mr. S.
Gregson, M.P., . Mr. Kirkman Hodgscn, M. P.,
Captain Hall, R.N., C. 8., Hon. Arthur innaird,
M.P., Mr. C. Rawson, Sir Macdonald Stephenson,
and Mr. A. Wilson. Mr. Marshman explained
that the object of the deputation was to invite the
attention of her Majesty's Government to the ques-
tion of a telegraphic communication with India,
which, from the recent occurrences in that empire,
had become a matter of the most urgent necessity.
The association represented by this deputation
projected the telegraph to India, via the Red Sea,
two years ago, but had remained in abeyance, after
deputing au agent to obtain the necessary firmans
from the Pvrte. Meanwhile another project was
started for a telegraph .to India down the Eu-
phrates Valley, which the Treasury had en-
couraged by a conditional promise of 12,0001.
per annum, and the Etst India Company had
agree;], at a cost assumed at from 200,0001. to
30J,0001., to lay down a line in connection with it
from the head of the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee.
If there bad bean any substantial progress made in
the construction of that line during the last twelve-
month, or if facilities had been increased for 4,
there would have been less occasion for this depu-
tation. But there had been no apparent advance,
and it seemed improbable that it could be executed
before the line of the contemplated railway was
completed. It was to run through a wild country,
inhabited by barbarous tribes, over at feud with
each other, and beyond the control of their own
rulers. The correspondent of the Times recently
stated that the Tanzimat at Constantinople refused
to encourage this telegraphic line down the Eu-
phrates, because the Turkish
cable
habGloevweernom Government could
not protect it. A submarine .
para tively free from risk. The association having
obtained the necessary firmans from the Porte was
now prepared to commence operations, on obtain.
ing the necessary encouragement from Government
and the East India Company, and to complete the
line in 18 ,pronths. The object of the deputation
was to press on her Majesty's Government the
urgency of the case, and to induce them to concen-
trate their efforts on that line which could be the
