LAW AND POLICE.

THE CIRENCESTER HOSPITAL.—Vice-ChanCellOr Stuart
has again had before him the case of the Cirencester
Hospital, in the matter of an order made for the produc-
tion at the bar of the court of one Henry Wakefield, on
whose life a lease existed. It was stated that Wakefield
had been seen within twelve months, "and, if time were
extended, he would in all probability be found. His
Honour stayed the other made, and ordered the matter to
stand over.

THE MURDER OF A BOY AT WiNscomßE.--.4.lexander
Holmes, who is in custody on a charge of having murdered
a boy named John Wilkins, at Woodborough, Winscombe,
Somerset, has been taken before the magistrates on
remand, and,, after some additional witnesses were
examined, he was committed for trial.

FRAUD AT CAMBRIDGE.-At the Cambridge Borough
Sessions, Thomas Philip Yokes, alias Massey, of high
family connections, and well educated, appeared upon the
charges of inducing one John Lambert, to endorse a cheque
on the Provincial Bank of Dublin, with intent to defraud ;
with obtaining by false pretences 2s. Gd. from James Bar-
ton, tailor; and with stealing a letter from the Bull Hotel.
The evidence went to shew that the accutled was a com-
panion of Lord William Osborne; that he represented
himself as about to g t married, and required clothes for
that purpose, which Mr. Barton lk-t him have, and in pay-
ment a cheque was tendered which proved to be worthless.
The 2s. GI was given back in change out of a supposed
good cheque for £lB in payment for the suit of clothes.
The jury found the prisoner guilty upon the second
charge, and the Recorder sentenced him to six calendar
months' imprisonment with hard labour. The first charge
was not gone into, and upon the last a verdict of not
guilty was returned.

THE CASE OF MR. GLUM—At the Bow-street Police-
court, Robert Mitchell Glover was brought up on remand
on a charge of begging. It will be remembered that
the prisoner was apprehended by William Hewitt, the
Mendieity officer, who found him begging in the
street. He had formerly been in a good position, but
1 been reduced to misery in consequence of his
drunken habits. Mr. Wood, a builder at Highgate,
had most perseveringly striven to rescue him from
his degraded condition, but bad failed in conse-
quence of the prisoner's utter incompetence for any occu-
pation whatever, and his incapacity to recollect the sitn-
plest facts, his good resolutions amongst the rest. He had
indeed, under careful supervision, succeeded in keeping
himself sober for a period of nine months, but after that
time he had again relapsed, being easily seduced by ac-
quaintances. A certificate from the surgeon at the House
of Detention stated that the prisoner was suffering from
loss of memory, but could not be said to be insane. Mr.;
Flowers committed the prisoner for a month.

SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—A most painful case
of cruelty to :a child has just been investigated at the
Lewes Assizes, before the Lord Chief Justice. A respect.
able-looking, middle-aged woman, named Charlotte
Wingfield, described as a widow, was indicted for mall;
ciously wounding a child named Tugwobd, with intent to
disable him or do him grievous harm. The case occurred
at Brighton, and had caused great excitement there. The
child was 11 or 12 years of age, prisoner being his
aunt. He was entrusted to her by his mother. The
child, on examination, deposed that the prisoner
had broken his nose with the poker, had made
the poker red hot, taken him into her bedroom and
apple lit to his ears, head, and neck. She had brol en
his finger between her teeth. Asked as to scars on his
face, he said that his aunt did it with a knife. His cousin
also had ill-treated him, had beat him with his fists.
Wounds were made on his legs by a red-hot poker,
and vinegar was then rubbed into them. The
surgeon stated that the child was horribly scarred
when he saw him on his return to his mother from Brigh-
ton. Ire could hardly stand, having been half starved.
Before he went to Brighton he had been a healthy, strong
boy. One of the boy's fingers was broken, and both his
knees were injured. On one knee he could see right
through to the joint under the knee cap. Further interro-
gated, the boy said he had been put into a tank half full
of water, and shut in, and water turned upon him. The
prisoner denied the charge, but her own son corroborated
his cousin's statement, and said his mother was nearly
always drunk, and he wished to get away from her. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the tr".4.oeer
eras
sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. -
