HOW TO MAKE GOOD GLOUCESTERSIIIRE BACON.
—After it has been killed cue day, put a light coat of salt on
the sides, and when that is dissolved, about llb. of saltpetre
is used to every 50Ibs. of bacon, and covered with salt as it
is lying single on the floor. After three or four days, put
four or five sides together, and turn them every three days;
after 10 days, 20 sides may be put together and turned once
a week ; in three weeks from the first salting they will be
ready for the stoves, unless they are very heavy, hI which
case this should be delayed another week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAN. S E.
A man of rather stately deportment, who said he
was a "railway agent," was brought before Alder-
man Gibbs, charged with having walked into the
premises adjoining a banking-house in Lombard-
street, without having any business to transact there.
The defendant, the rapid movement of whose eyes
indicated that all was not right within, had been seen
looking about cautiously in his own opinion, but in
such a manner as to excite great caution in other
people, and at last slipping in at a hall door which
was most invitingly open, he was followed, and asked
whom he wanted to see and what business be had to
transact, and as his answers were wholly beyond the
comprehension of those who addressed him, he was
handed over to the care of the police and taken to the
Compter, where be seemed to be very comfortable
during a two or three days' abode.
Alderman GIBBS having inquired about the unfor-
tunate man, learned that he had been, during the
railway mania, one of the adventurers in ruinous
speculations, and that his losses had, in all proba-
bility, affected his mind.
Upon being told that the circumstances under
which he was found were very suspicious, he stared
and said he was informed by some people in the
street that somebody was waiting for him inside, so
in he walked.
A waiter, at a coffee-house in the neighbourhood,
said the defendant had walked in there several times
as if he was an old customer, and ordered dinner
without having a farthing in his pockets.
Alderman GIBBS said be feared the poor fellow
was the victim of railway disappointments, and deli-
vered him to his friends, who promised to keep him
out of such dishonourable difficulties.
GUILDHALL.
Thomas Francis was placed at the bar before Al-
derman Wilson, charged with stealing eight iv iry
bagatelle-balls, value 11. ls., the property of John
Jefferini, the landlord of the Rose, in Farringdon-
street.
Mary Regan, servant to Mr. Jefferini, of 2, Far-
ingdon-street, said she was coming down stairs on
Monday afternoon, when she saw prisoner Wee the
balls from the bagatelle-board, and afterwards put
them into his hat. He then came down stairs and
met witness at the door. He then asked her what
time parties using that house would go into the
room, and she made him no other answer than imme-
diately calling out " thieves." He ran away, and she
followed him into the street, and cried " stop thief,"
when a policeman stopped prisoner and took him into
custody. The balls were found on him. Those pro-
duced, she believed, were the same she saw prisoner
put into his hat.
Police-constable 244 corroborated the last witness's
nt, and further said that when he stopped
si,traisteomneera
at the top of Braziers' -buildings, near 110 - -
born-hill, he dropped something, but witness could
not tell what it was.
Police-constable 240 deposed to several parties, who
were merely bye-standers picking up the bagatelle-
balls, which prisoner had dropped on being taken.
Mr. Jefferini (the celebrated clown) appeared and
identified the balls as the same he had lost. Ile con-
sidered they were worth about one guinea.
Mr. Wilson, of the Dolphin, on Ludgate-hill, pre-
ferred a similar charge against the prisoner. The
following were the circumstances :
John Smith, the pot-boy to Mr. Wilson, said that
about three weeks ago the prisoner came to Mr. Wil-
son's house, and ordered some refreshment ; after
waiting a short time, he left the house, and on wit-
ness going into the ' room a few minutes after the
balls, of the bagatelle board were found to be mis-
sing. On that occasion prisoner was dressed in a
blue striped jacket and a black waistcoat.
Alderman Wilson said that the last case was very
su-picious, but the first would not admit of a doubt
respecting the prisoner's guilt. He would, however,
remand the prisoner for a few days, to allow the
officers an opportunity to obtain further evidence, both
as regarded the prisoner's general private character,
and also the extent to which this practice had been
carried by hitn.---Remanded accordingly.
Thomas Wilkins, a constable of the D division of
metropolitan police, was brought up in the custody
of Inspector Colin Grant, for final examination on
the charge of defrauding the treasurer of Middlesex
of 3s. 61; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins of
a like amount, under the following circumstances.
Mr. Parry appeared on behalf of the prisoner.
Elizabeth Collins said her husband was convicted at
the July sessions of the Central Criminal Court of
committing a violent assault upon her, and trans-
ported for ten years. She was allowed her expenses.
Prisoner had to pay her. She only received 14s. from
her brother-in-law, who had it from the prisoner.
Had made inquiries and found that 21s. had been
allowed her.
George Jenkins proved having only received 14s.
from prisoner for Mrs. Collins. And
Maria Jenkins deposed to signing the bill of ex-
penses with her mark, but she received no money from
the prisoner either at, the time or after.
Mr. Reid, clerk to Mr. Clark, the clerk of the
arraigns, said he allowed Mrs. Collins 21s. for six
days attendance. She was only entitled to five days,
but in consequence of some statement made by the
prisoner, he allowed her an extra day's expenses. Ile
allowed ss. to the prisoner in addition to an extra
day's pay, because the magistrate who sent the case
for trial had recommended him, on account of the
great trouble he had in getting up the case. He al-
lowed prisoner 93. for six days instead of five at is
6d. per day.
Doble, 147 D, said he saw the money paid for Mrs.
Collins's expenses, at the Pitt's Head ; he counted it,
and could swear it was not more than 1,45. It was
paid to the witness Jenkins. When information was
given to the inspector regarding prisoner's conduct,
he threatened to suspend him, and prisoner came to
witness and asked him to swear that he paid Mrs.
Col-

Mr. Buxton, the surgeon who was engaged on the
trial, said he heard Mr. Reid say that he would allow
prisoner an extra day's pay, 3s. 6d., for the trouble he
had had in keeping the witnesses together for the trial.
Mrs. Collins was unwilling to prosecute, and Mr.
Broughton threatened to commit her if she did not.
The magistrate directed prisoner to take care of her.
Felix White, grocer, said he was with prisoner at
the time he paid Mrs. Collins's sister 17s. It was
put on the counter. Doble, prisoner, and himself,
supped together the night of the trial. Prisoner said
to Doble that 3s. 6d. extra had been allowed him for
his trouble, and he then gave Deble ls. 91, and told
him it was all square.
Several other witnesses were called, who proved
that Mrs. Collins had been frequently heard to say,
" This is the shop where that fellow lived that trans-
ported my husband for 4i. 61. per day, while I had
only 3s. 61 I will do for them both, and begin with
the " bobby" (meaning prisoner) first.
Mr. Parry urged, on behalf of the prisoner, that
17s. 6d. had been paid to Mrs. Collins, and the other
3s. el was due to himself, inasmuch that it was out
of Mr. Reid's power to allow anything extra to the
officers engaged in the Old Bailey trials, in any other
way than by adding it to the expenses of one of the
witnesses, and giving the officer permission to deduct it.
Mr. Reid, on being recalled, said that he never ex-
ercised any such power. He never by any chance al-
lowed the officers in any case to deduct anything from
the allowance
of witnesses, and to appropriate it to
their own use.
Alderman SIDNEY said that if he left the case of
the 17s. 6.1. out of the question altogether, there would
be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misap-
propriated the sum of 35. 6d., and by so doing was
guilty, under the Police Act, of a breach of his duty
as a police-constable, and consequently liable to be
fined accordingly. It was a very painful duty for him
to have to adjudicate in such a case, particularly as
his decision would certainly have the effect cf blasting
all his future prospects in life. However, the case
was of such a nature as to require a strict investiga-
tion, which had been made, and the result proved
that prisoner was at fault. lie would, therefore, fine
him 51., or one month's imprisonment in the House of
CJrrection.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
BETTING OFFlCEs.—Williant Williams was charged
with having paraded a large double placard before the
house of Mr. John Osborne, cigar-dealer, No. 9, New
Bond-street.
The placard was exhibited in court. It had upon
it in large letters, " Caution to the public, Captain
Bell, of No. 9, New Bond street, has not paid ou the
Liverpool Cup."
Mr. Osborne said Captain Bell kept a betting list
at his shop, which list was managed by Captain Ball
himself, and a clerk. On Monday' night a crowd of
nearly 100 persons assembled before his shop and
threatened to destroy everything in it. They were
collected by the conduct of about ten or a dozen
persons, who first made their appearance. The
police were sent for and the disorderly
persons disappeared. At night large placards
were posed on the shutters
of the shop. similar
to the one carried by the defendant. The de-
fendant yesterday..came with the placards now in his
possession, and by walking backwards and forwards
in front of the•shop caused a crowd to assemble. Com-
plainant sent for a constable, and gave him into CM.
tody. The complainant here entered into a statement
of the Liverpool Cup betting of Captain Ball, assert-
ing that all the bets had been paid,
except one of 20
to I laid twice to Mr. Dawson, of the Yorkshire Grey,
who, however, had received 221. on account, and would
have received the whole of his bet, had he nor been
the means of preventing Captain Bell from receiving a
bet of 25/. which he had won from a person named
Haspall, in Old Broad-street. lie wished to know
whether the defendant was at liberty to walk about
with the placards now in court?
