POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIIIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

THE MURDER OF INSPECTOR BRADSTOCK.—
Joseph James Smith was this morning placed at
the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Daniel
Bradstock, an inspector of the A division of police.
It will be recollected that the deceased was
on duty at the King-street station on the
7th May: About half past ten in the evening a
man named Joseph James Smith was brought in;
charged with breaking two drinking glasses at the
Mitre and Dove public-house in King-street.
When the charge was entered the prisoner shouted
out " Murder ! murder ! They are after me." He
seemed to be quite sober, but suffering from deli-
rium tremens. The prisoner was asked whether he
had a knife in his possession, and he said that he
had not, but gave up a large pair of scissors. The
police surgeon directed he should be strictly watched.
On the morning of Bth May, at a quarter past one,
Inspector Bradstock visited the prisoner Smith, who
was locked up in one of the cells. The prisoner re-
quested the inspector to fetch him some water to
drink. The inspector lifted up a small tin can that
was in the cell, and, giving it to a constable, told
him to get some water. The prisoner then made a
violent rush at the inspector with the scissors, and
stabbed him in the neck and arm.

Mr. T. Holmes, chief surgeon of the metropolitan
police, saw the deceased on the 10th of May at
his own house ; the wounds were then healing,
and the deceased was apparently getting on well.
On the 14th erysipelas set in in connection with
the wound in the right arm. On Sunday week
he was brought to the St. George's Hospital, and
witness (who is one of the surgeons at that hospi-
tal) continued to attend him till he died, on the
2d of June. The post mortem examination showed
that death had resulted from erysipelas caused.by
the wound.

The prisoner, who made no defence, was then
fully committed for trial for wilful murder.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION—MDME. RACHEL
AGAIN.—Upon Mr. Knox taking his seat on the
bench this morning, Mr. Montagu Williams (in-
structed by Mr. Cridlaud, of New-square, Lin-
coln's-inn) appeared, and said he bad to apply,
.on behalf of Mrs. Borrodaile, for a warrant
against Madame Rachel for obtaining money under
false pretences, and in consequence of a nobleman's
name having become mixed up in the matter, he
had felt it his duty to advise the solicitor, who in-
structed him to give that gentleman notice that the
application was going to be made, so that he might,
if he thought proper, attend, and be saw that the
gentleman (Lord Ranelagh) was in attendance.
Madame Rachel was well known, was in
the habit of advertising to restore persons
whose complexions had become posse, and to make
them " beautiful for ever ;" and his client on going
to Madame Rachel was informed that she (Madame
Rachel) had the power of " giving perpetual youth,',
and once having got her into her hands Madame
Rachel succeeded in getting £l,OOO out of her.
Subsequently Madame Rachel mentioned to his
client that Lord Ranelagh bad seen her and had
fallen desperately in love with her, and, that his
lordship was ready to marry her, provided he had
£1,400 for volunteering purposes.
Lord Ranelagh complained of Mr. M. Williams
dragging bis name before the public in connection
with such a matter.

Mr. M. Williams said that his reason for causing
notice to be given to his lordship was that he might
give a denial to the matter, and he had no wish to
say anything that was at all discreditable to his
lordship. Subsequently it was suggested to his
client that a trousseau of diamonds would be
necessary, and upon this his client advanced £1,200
for diamonds, and subsequently lost £l5O to be off
the transaction. Ile (Mr. Williams) felt bound to
state that he had no doubt an improper use had
been made of Lord Ranelagh's name, and he had no
doubt when the case came on his lordship would be
able to show that he was not connected with the
matter.

Mr. Knox said that to make use of the name of
a person of credit and honour like that of Lord
Ranelagh was a scandalous and crael thing. He
did not at the same time think Lord Ranelagh had
any reason to complai❑ of Mr. M. Williams, as he
appeared to be more his advocate than anything
else.

Lord Ranelagh emphatically denied all connec-
tion with the matter, further than he had received
some letters from Mrs. Borrodaile and handed them
over to his solicitors; and he stated that he had
only seen Mrs. Borradaile once, and that was
at her solicitor's office, when he went there
to complain to them of their client's conduct in
writing to him. From a letter he had received from
a member of Mrs. Borrodaile's family, he had sug-
gested that she should be taken care of, believing
that she was under delusion. His name had been
dragged forward most improperly, and there was no
truth in his connection with the affair.
Mr. M. Williams again. said that he had not said
anything discreditable to Lord Ranelagh, and did
not wish to make imputations against him ; and,
further, he felt pain at having to bring his lord-
ship's name forward, but he had been compelled
to do so.

Mr. Knox begged to say emphatically that
nothing had been said in that court reflecting on
his lordship's name. When the case came on his
lordship would be called, he would deny all know-
ledge of the matter, and there would be an end
of it.

Mr. Knox granted a warrant for obtaining the
£1,400 under the pretence that it was for Lord
Ranelagh.

WESTMINSTER.

TRADESMEN AND MAGISTRATES.—James Jarrard,
aged 13, and William Cuff, aged 18, were placed i
at the bar, charged with robbing a tradesman n
the King's-road, Chelsea.
Police-constable James Peacock, 348 B, said that
at 7 o'clock last evening he saw the two prisoners
sitting in the door-way of 85, King's-road. After
looking round he saw Jarrard go up to Mr. Par-
ker's, a hosier, and attempt to pull down some
goods from the door. Ile did not succeed, and
they then walked into Markham-square.
Again taking up their positions on the door-
steps of 85, Jarrard went again to Mr. Par-
ker's and succeeded in pulling down three pair
of stockings, which he adroitly thrust into the front
of his trowsers and they then walked off. Witness
followed and took them into custody, when he found
some beef-steak upon Cuff, of which he could not
give a satisfactory account.

Mr. Richard Parker, hosier, 87, Kings-road
identified the property.

Mr. Selfe—You put these things outside?
Prosecutor—Yes, sir.

Mr. Selfe—lt is very absurd to do so.
Prosecutor—lt is compulsory. The house stands
back some feet from the pavement, and unless I
dressed the front with goods I should not do any
trade at all.

Mr. Selfe —lt is not necessary you should do
trade in that way that I know of.
Prosecutor—l must do trade.
Mr. Selfe—Not at the expense of the country.
The country is put to expense by your exposure.
Prosecutor--1 cannot help it.
Jarrard's mother said that Cuff had for some time
been dragging her boy into crime.
It was proved that both had been at this court
before.

Jarrard was committed for one month and Cuff
for two months' hard labour.

THAMES.

ADVENTURE OF A GOLD WATCH.--A well dressed
boy, named George Frederick Campbell, aged 11
years, of No. 3, Drummond-road, Peckham, and
described as having no occupation, was brought up
before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a gold
watch value 12 guineas.

Mrs. Jane llorsford, of No. 11, Capel-terrace,
Tredegar-square, Bow, wife of a navy surgeon, said
the prisoner was acquainted with her son, and
in the practice of calling upon him. On the even-
ing a Thursday, the 28th of Nay, 4140 went out on

an errand, and saw the prisoner outside the house.
On her return at 8 o'clock she missed her husband's
gold watch from the chimney-piece, in the back
parlour, and heard that the prisoner had been there.
(Here the prisoner was interrupted by Mr.
Charles Young, solicitor, who said he had
been just retained for the prisoner by his
friends, and that he believed it was not the
wish of Mrs. Horsford to proceed against the
prisoner. The watch was recovered).
Mrs. Horsford said she did not wish to punish
the prisoner, who was a companion of her little
son.

Mr. Charles Young—The prisoner took the watch
for a freak, and went to Liverpool, where he was
taken into custody. _ _ .

A gentleman, who said he was stepfather, here
essayed to address the magistrate, who stopped him,
and said there was no evidence against the buy at
at present. He would permit the case to be ad-
journed.

A few minutes afterwards (some charges of being
drunk and disorderly having been dispose I of in
the interim) the prisoner was again put into the
felons' dock, and Mr. Charles Young said there was
no evidence against him. He was accordingly dis-
charged.
Mr. James Irvine, a Liverpool officer, said he
apprehended the prisoner in that town with the
gold watch iu his possession, and he said his father
was a barrister, and his uncle Lord Chief Justice
of London, which was untrue. Ile wished for his
expenses.

Mr. Paget—l can make no order for your ex-
penses.
Mr. Pyer (the Chief Clerk)—Get them from the
Liverpool magistrates on your return.
Mrs. llorsford then asked for her watch, which
Mr. Irvine had in his possession.
Mr. Paget could make no order on the subject.
All the parties then retired.

the completion of the Thames Embankment and Mansion-
house-street. The amount of tho loan he stated at
£1,856,000, and he went at length into the finances of the
Board to show that the Treasury had ample security for
this guarantee. This security consisted in the metro-
politan ra'es, the surplus of the coal and wine duties up to
1882, the whole of the coal and wino duties
between 1882 and 1888, which reckoned as a de-
ferred annuity, he valued at £600,000, and the pro-
perty abutting on the Mansion-house, which was worth at
least £1,300,000, and these, all taken together, the Chancel-
lor insisted, offered ample security for both capital and in-
terest. He mentioned, too, that while the original esti-
mate for these works was £4,935,000, and the revised esti-
mate £3,568,000, the actual revenue applicable to them
which would come into the possession cf the Board
amounted to £5,662,000.
The bill was not opposed, but it led to acme discussion,
in the course of which

Mr. GOSO HEN, while approving the measure, criticised
sharply the mode in which the Metropolitan Board of
Works pre ents its accounts to Parliament, and Mr.
Ayrton indulged himself in one of his usual onslaughts on
the Board of Works and in a characteristic lau•lation of
the proceedings of a select committee (where he had been
a prominent member), which, if its recommendations
had been attended to by the house, would have put the
board on a more satisfactory footing. Mr. Ile,rvey Lewis
and Mr. Tite also supported the bill, but before it could be
read a second time the house was counted at 20 minutes to
10 o'clock.
