Two MONTHS' IMrnrsoN3rcNT ON REMAND.
Felix Victor, a man of colour, was brought up ou
remand for the ninth time, charged with stabbing
John Bucklay, a cooper, in the abdomen, with in-
tent to murder him, or do grievous bodily harm.
Stennett, a police-constable, said the wounded
man had been two months in the London Hospital,
and was getting worse.

Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, ou behalf of the prisoner,
said that he had attended eight times to put in evi-
dence of the bad character of the wounded man,
who was well known to the police, and had been
often convicted of assaults and disorderly conduct.
lie did not mean to say the dreadful act
charged against the prisoner.could be justified,
but in extenuation he must bring evidence that the
prisoner had been insulted, threatened, and re-
peatedly struck by the man Buckley before he was
wounded. The use of the knife was always to be
deplored, but in this case the greatest provocation
had been given.
Mr. Paget said he could not receive the evidence
tendered by Mr. Stoddart in the present stage of
the investigation. If the man in the hospital died
within a year it would be murder, and he must again
remand the prisoner for a week.
Mr. Stoddart said the prisoner had been remanded
from time to time for two months, and he would
now prefer that the case should be sent for trial on
the depositions already taken, including the depo-
sition of the wounded man which the magistrate
received. _ _ _

Mr. Paget said he could not do that, and that he
had no alternative but to remand the prisoner for
for another week. It was mentioned that in a
precisely similar caso at this court a few years ago
the late Mr. Yardley, then magistrate, after re-
manding a man several times, said he thought it
would be unconstitutional, and a dangerous prece-
dent, to remand him any longer, and he should
send the case to the sessions for trial, with the
statement of the wounded man, for the judges to
dispose of as they thought proper.

NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCIL—The Duke of
Norfolk comes of ago on the 26th of the present month,
when there will be great rejoicings at Arundel Castle and
in the neighbourhood. We hear with much pleasure that
one of the duke's first acts, upon attaining his majority,
will be to lay the foundation-stone of a large Catholic
church at Arundel, which is to cost £50,000, and is to be
built at his grace's expense.—Weekly Register.
MINERAL TRAFFIC ON RAILWAYS.—The follow-
ing British railways each carried more than 1,000,000 tons
of coal and minerals in 1867: —Blyth and Tyne, 2,063,309
tons; Caledonian, 5,966,072 tons; Furness, 1,843,820 tons;
Glasgow and South-Western, 2,550,239 tons ; Great
Eastern, 1,083,537 tons; Great Northern, 2,415,723 tons;
Great Western, 6,423,150 tons; Lancashire and Yorkshire
4,507,795 tons; London and North-Western, 11,674,347

siderable mineral traffic.

An investigation pointing to suspicion of rob-
bery and murder was opened yesterday afternoon at
llorselydown. A man who bore the appearance of having
been a ship's captain was soon late at night, wearing a
massive gold chain, in the company of some women of
loose character, and a few hours later he was found dead
at the bottom of Battle-bridge-stairs. his body partly im-
mersed in the Thames. His gold chain had then disap-
peared. The inquest was adjourned in order to furnish
time for the police to make inquiries with a view to show
how the man came to his death.
