POLICE. INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

A CAB PROPRIETOR COMMITTED FOR SHAMEFUL
CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—NIGHT CAB HORSES.--Jas.
Fisher, a cab proprietor, living at Retreat-place,
Homerton, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
the following cruelty to a horse :
An officer of the Royal Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals watched the case.

From the evidence of Sergeant Bentley, 13 C, it
appeared that at 3 o'clock that morning he saw the
prisoner driving a horse attached to a four-wheel cab
in Oxford-street, and as the prisoner was flogging
it in an unnecessarily and cruel manner he stopped
him and examined the horse. The sergeant found
that the inside of the thigh and the tail were
bleeding, and that there were spots of blood on the
whip. Th 3 animal's shoulder was very sore, and
the coronet of one of the fore feet was cut through.
Barns, the ga3ler, said the horse could scarcely
stand—in fact, was only fit for the knacker.
Mr. Tyrwhitt supposed it was the sort of horse
taken out at nights.

The only answer the prisoner made to the &large
was that another of his . horses had bitten its
shoulder.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had not the same
excuse as a driver might have had, as he was a
proprietor. He considered the prisoner a cruel man,
and it was a great pity that the cat was not inflicted
on his own back. The prisoner would have to
pay 40s. or a month.

to have resolved upon trying their strength once
more. As already stated, Mr. Evans, one of the
defeated Liberal candidates at the last election, will
be the 'champion of his party, and he will be opposed
by Colonel Wilmot, at whose house the late member,
Sir Thomas Gresleyt• died. The gallant gentleman
was a brevet-major m the Rifle Brigade, and won
the Victoria Cross at the gates of Lucknow. Since
his retirement from the army he has commanded the
Ist battalion of Derbyshire Volunteers, and is ex-
tremely popular with all classes.

AUSTRIA.

Counsellor Schwab, a retired judge of the Supreme
Court of Vienna, has been sentenced to six years' hard
labour for forgery and embezzlement. Seldom has a worse
case of fraud and deception in high places been revealed.
A lady of rank had invested a large sum of money in mort-
gage bonds, and had entrusted it to the care of this
expounder of the law in order to save it from her credi-
tors. The counsellor appropriated the whole by forging
deeds of transference. 'Worse than all, he fruitlessly
endeavoured to throw the blame upon his wife, who had
recently died. Many revelations which had no direct
bearing on the case were, perhaps not injudiciously. sup-
tressed by the court.

THE PARSON AND THE CABBY.

A friend of mine, who is a parson in the country,
and a sort of modern y icar of Wakefield in his
ways, came up. to town last week, and reaped
the advantages -of change, in this respect, that
somewhere or another he got a bad half-crown
palmed off upon him. This annoyed him ex-
ceedingly, but most of all because he feared it
might somehow get into circulation, and per-
haps reach hands that could less afford to receive
it than lhis own. He would have thrown it
into the gutter, but for this consideration, and
he was pondering how to get rid of it, when
it suddenly struck him that he was late for
dinner with your humble servant, and there-
fore took a Hansom cab with all speed. So
nervous was ho at the idea of keeping my
other guests waiting, that when the cabman
said, " Eighteen-pence, sir," he gave him the bad
half-crown (which happened to be his only piece of
silver) in change for a shilling, and the poor fellow
drove away. However, before he was out of sight,
my benevolent clergyman remembered what he
had done, and fled down the street after the
vehicle, shouting, " Cabby ! cabby !" wildly and
waving his alpaca umbrella. The cabman, however,
though he turned round only nodded good naturedly
and drove away, leaving my poor friend inconsol-
able at the idea of having thus robbed an honest
man. He told us the story at dinner, and most of
us agreed that it was strange enough that the man
bad paid no attention to his signals ; but a police
magistrate, who happened to be at our table, asked
to look at the shilling that the man bad given our
vicar, and then quietly remarked, " Yes, I thought
so ; he has given you a bad shilling."—Chambers's

WESTMINSTER.

AN UNIATUKY MISTAKE.—George flelens, a tall
young man, was charged with assaulting Victor
Didon, a very quiet-looking Frenchman, hardly
understanding sufficient English to render himself
intelligible.

Complainant said that at five last evening on
his way to Chelsea to visit a friend, he was ill-
treated by the defendant, who came up and struck
him two or three times in the face, and bruised it
very much.
Mr. Arnold inquired what he had done to the
defendant before he struck him.

Complainant replied that he had done nothing,
that he had not given the slightest provocation of
any description.
Defendant said that they were in the Compasses
tavern together, and had some worth, and on their
leaving the complainant pushed him down in the
gutter.

Complainant declared that it was all a mistake.
He had never been in any public house, nor had
any difference with any one. He was quietly walk-
ing along when he was attacke i, as he described.
Charles Cox, 210 B, said that he found the corn-
plainant bleeding from the mouth, and took defen-
dant into custody. Ile found, on inquiry, that
defendant was wrong about complainant being in
the publichouse. Defendant was partially intoxi-
cated.

Mr. Arnold said he would give no credit for hav-
ing been attacked by somebody else, and having
made a mistake in supposing it was complainant.
He committed him for 14 days.

SILL RICHARD MAYNE.

Forty years since, Sir Robert Peel brought before
the House of Commons a scheme for the better
watching of the metropolis- by an organised staff of
policemen. His proposal was met by a cry of " un-
English " from those whose argtiments against any-
thing new may be summed up in that phnse. But
he carried his bill, and the force of " Peelers " was
established. A head was found for the new organi-
sation in the person of a " quiet " but energetic
young barrister, the son of an Irish judge, hight
Richard Mayne, who has held the situation of First
Commissioner of Police till his death, just announced.
He has not been very popular of late, it is true.
But his services as organiser were invaluable when
Scotland-yard first sprang into existence. His work,
too, in managing the Exhibition arrangements in
1851 was well done. Of late, however, age and
feebleness have crept over him. An abscess was too
much for his strength; under it he has succumbed.
Sir Richard Mayne was the fourth son of the Hon.
Edward Mayne, judge of the Court of Queen's Bench
in Ireland from 1817 to 1820, and was descended
from a branch of an old Kentish family which settled
in Fermanagh and Monaghan in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. He was born in Dublin in 1796, and-
married in 1831 Miss Georgiana, eldest daughter of
Mr. Thomas Carvick, of Wyke, Yorkshire, who
survives him, and by whom he leaves four sons and
two daughters. His eldest son, Captain Richard C.
Mayne, R.N., C. 8., is at present at Rio, commanding
her Majesty's ship Nassau.

STEALING £5OO WORTH OF COCHINEAL.—:Norris
Myers, George Stevens, and Frederick Jefferies,
charged with being concerned in stealing 24 bags
of cochineal, the property of Walter Hartley,
bonded carman, of Lower Thames-street, were
brought up on remand.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the
prosecution.
Another man named Storey, in the service of Mr.
Hartley, was originally charger] with being con-
cerned in stealing a horse, van, and 21 bags of co-
chineal five weeks ago. He was admitted as a
witness for the Crown, and briefly deposed that
while he was taking his tea in a coffee-shop in Le-
man-street, Whitechapel, his horse and cart, with
the cochineal, were driven away. The empty cart
was discovered in Stratford unattended the same
evening.

Several witnesses, police-constables, and others,
proved that the prisoners Myers, Stevens, and Jef-
fries had been dealing with the stolen cochineal, and
that they had sold a bag of it to a man named Hall,
porter to a druggist, who acted under the directions
of the police. The prisoners intimated to Hall that
there had been a robbery of 24 bags of cochineal,
and he offered to buy the whole of it. One bag only
was sent to him, and two more were promised to be
forwarded to him. He paid the prisoners £lO,
but he never received more than one bag of cochi-
neal.

Smart, a City detective officer, said that Hall
acted entirely under his directions, and was re-
quested to offer 2s. 6d. per lb. for one bag of cochi-
neal and is. 3d. per lb. for the whole bulk.
After some observations from Mr. NVontner, jun.,
and Mr. Gomtn in favour of Jefferies and Storey,
the three prisoners were committed for trial.
