r '`W AND POLICE.

C 0.,:. IYALTEYRAC AND MRS. LONG.-- _
Chancel:or Sir R. Malins's Court, with reference to this
case, Mr. Glasse, Q.C., moved to restrain Mrs. Long from
dealing with certain articles of jewellery, the property of
the plaintiff (whose name is known in connection with that
of Lord Willoughby D'Eresby), and asked that they
might be brought into court. It was stated that the
jewels (diamonds and family jewels) had been deposited as
a security for advances of money, which the plaintiff was
willing to repay with interest, but the defendant was
travelling about with the jewels and would render no
account. Leave had been given under these circumstances,
for substituted service, and notice given to a person living
in the neighbourhood of the Strand who was in communi•
cation with the defendant. His Honour, considering
that there ought to be such a jurisdiction, granted the
order asked.

THE MANSLAUGHTER OF LIEUTENANT BULLO CK. —At

James Brooks, a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
killing and slaying Lieutenant Bullock, R.N., at Fulham.
William Hunt, a lad, said that on March 28 last he was
in a public-house at North End, known as " Chips
perton's." The prisoner entered the house in a state
of inebriation, and was soon followed by Lieute-
nant Bullock, who also had partaken of too much
liquor. The accused told the officer to go about his busi-
ness. Bullock male no reply. The prisoner then struck
him a violent blow on the forehead, and the unfortunate
gentleman fell on his back, but was picked up again by
the prisoner, and left standing against a door. He then
reeled and fell down some steps into a yard paved with
bricks. The prisoner threw some beer in his face, and again
took hold of him and dragged him into the road, where
the prisoner's horse and cart were standing. He then
drew the horse's head towards the prostrate man, and
declared he would run the cart over him, but was Pre-
vented by
persons who interfered. Mr. Bullock
appeared quite some
insensible, and did not speak, and soon
afterwards he was taken to the West London Hospital,
where he died.—The jury found the prisoner guilty, but
sentence was deferred.

THE MARQUIS OF TOWNSHEND ONCE MORE.-At the
Clerkenwsll Pttlic --court the Marquis of Towshend, accom-
panied by Mr. Thomas Speechly, solicitor to a physician
in the Euston-road, said he attended to make an explana-
tion, and to say that be regretted having made a public
statement to the detriment of the gentleman in question.
He regretted that on the ex parte statement of the dis-
charged servant girl he should have stated that the physi-
cian had inflicted corporal punishment on his son, or that
he had treated the son in a cruel manner. He was sorry
that he had made any statement that was prejudicial
to the gentleman referred to. Mr. Speechly said that his
client was satisfied with the apology and public explanas
tion given by the Marquis Townshend.
ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A BOY.-At the Central
Criminal Court, Timothy Keefe, a diminutive-looking
boy of 16, was indicted for feloniously shooting at
Edward White, with intent to do him some grievous-
bodily harm. A second count charged him with mali-

ciously wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.
The prosecutor, a boy of 13, lived with his parents in
Harebrained-court, Whitechapel, and he and the prisoner,
who lived in the same court, were playmates. About
eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the 13th February, the
prisoner was standing at his own door and asked the prose.
cuter to go upstairs with him, which he did. The prisoner
then went to a box belonging to his brother, and took out
a pistol. He went to the bed with it and remained for
some time with his back to the prosecutor, and then came
towards him with one hand behind his back and suddenly
shot him in the broast. Immediately after the shot was
fired the prisoner ran up to him, seemed very sorry, and
endeavoured to stop the bleeding. The prosecutor was
afterwards taken to the London Hospital, and the ball,
which it was feared had punctured the lungs, had not yet
been extracted. The prisoner, when before the magi&
trate, said that he and the other boy were examining the
pistol, and that it went off by accident. The jury found
the prisoner not guilty.

Sir Benjamin Pine, who has been lately admis-
tering the government of the Leeward Islands, has been
appointed Governor of Western Australia.
