POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Jas. Holder,
a young man in the employ of Mr. Marks, ice mer-
chant, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to answer
the complaint of the Royal Society for the Peven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals of ill-using a horse.
A lady named Parker saw the defendant and
another man taking blocks of ice from a cart in
Cavendish-street. While doing so the horse threw
up its head, and the defendant after jobbing it with
the reins took up two pieces of iron called dogs,
used for carrying the ice, and pushed the horse with
it, causing its mouth and throat to bleed. She after-
wards gave information to the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, hence the present
proceedings. •

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mrs. Parker said the
horse appeared to be a quiet, good tempered ani-
mal, but the defendant seemed an ill-tongued man.
The defendant said the horse attempted to run
away, as it had once done before.

Mrs. Parker denied this, and said that it was per-
fectly quiet, and she stood some minutes holding it.
Joseph Dobie, ollicer of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that from
instructions he received from the chief constable of
the society he went to the defendant's master and
told him what he had come about, when the master
said that the horse came home with its mouth bleed-
ing, and that the defendant told him that it was
the result of an accident, the horse having bobbed
its mouth !against the " dogs." On examining
the horse he found a wound inside the
lips, and another outside. On the following day
the defendant, in the presence of his master and
him (Dobie) admitted that he had lost his temper
and given the horse a blow. The horse was a beau-
tiful one, and remarkably well fed and very quiet.
The defendant's master seemed much annoyed at
the treatment the horse had received, and said the
law must take its course.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a great pity that a man
fhould so far forget himself as to ill-use a horse in
such a manner. The defendant would have to ply
203. or 11 days.

HOUSE OF LORDS--THIS EVEVING.
The Loin CmilicELLon took his seat on the woolsack
at four o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS

The Towns Drainage and Sewage Utilisation (Amend•
ments) Bill was read a third time.
THE SOUTH-EASTERNAND LONDON, BRIGHTON,
AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAYS BILL.
Lord REDESDALE said on the house taking into Call-
sideration the rejection of an amendment on the part of
the House of Commons, that he regretted he must ask
their lordships to pet sist in the rejection of the clause which
had been struck out.

The buke of RICHMOND considered that the feeling
of the house had not been to restrict the financial arrange-
meats of railway companies. He would ask their lord-
ship; therefore, to disagree with the. amendment of the
House. of Lords.
Tho Marquis of SALISBURY said that he was in hopes
that the noble lord who had just spoken was about to
withdraw some observations which he had made about
the introducer of this bill. He had spoken at
first of the noble lords jobbers in railway com-
panies, and now he said that they had circu-
lated rumours to serve their sordid interests. It was Sim-
p!y the question whether a sluireholder Ehou Id divide his
property or have it in one matk:•table share.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, thought that they ought to
be careful in interfering with the internal operations of
railways.

Lord ROMILLY said that during the last few years his
time had been almost all taken up by the litigation amongst
railways.
Oa the question being put that the house do adhere to
its amendment on clause 01, it was declared that the non-
contents had it. A division then took place, when it
was found that the non-coatents were ia the majority, aul
the amendnieftt was therefore struck out.
(LEFT SITTING)

HOUSE OF COMAIONS—THis EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether he had caused inquiry to be
made as to the alleged hard usage of James Austin (re-
ported in the Times of July 15), who was imprisoned in
Bedford Gaol, handcuffed, and a heavy deduction was mado
from the money in his possession.
Mr. HARDY said the best answer he could give was to
refer the hon. member to a letter which appeared in the
Times of that day:
REMOVAL OF TROOPS.
Mr. OT WAY asked the Secretary of State for War
whether it was true that the 36th Regiment was sent from
England in Match last to Kurrachee, in Scinde, where it
arrived at the commencement of the hot season, whether
the regiment was then sent into barracks which had
" been declared unfit for European troops ;" and whether,
on one day in June last, nine men, women, and children
of the regiment died in these barracks from what is called
heat apoplexy ?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that was a detachment of the
36th, and not the entire regiment, which had been sent to
India. With respect to the last part of the question he
had no information, but he would institute inquiry into
the matter.

APPROPRIATION BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
INLAND REVENUE BILL.
This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to.

ARMY CHAPLAINS BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS BILL.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained
the details with respect to the purchase of the telegraphs
by the Government. He said the greatest care had
been taken to carry out the proposal, which, ho believed,
would turn out to be advantageou ; and profitable. It was
impossible to state what would be the sum required for
purchase money, because so much would depend on the
decision of arbitrators, and, therefore, he could not at that
moment bring in a necessary bill. It had been stated that
the estimated sum would be about £1,000,000, but they
had been compelled to purchase other lines than those
first intended, and now Mr. Scudamore felt that £6,000,000
would be the outside sum required under any circum-
stances. The Government secured what was called " way
leases" over all the railways, which was a very important
arrangement, and would practically give the Government
a monopoly of the telegraphs. The number of messages
sent through the different telegraphs in 1865 amouuted
to no less than 7,500,000, and from a mean calculation
that had been made, which showed that £8,000,00
could be raised on such a business' which snoweda balance
in favour of the purchase of £2,00 ; 1,000, whilst the maximum
calculation which had been made showed that £10,000,000
might be the sum. The Government had made certain
arrangements between the !Postmaster-General and the
newspaper proprietors of the United Kingdom, and by it the
Postmaster would not become a collector of news, but
merely the means of transmitting the news collected into
the country. The rates for such work would not be higher
than at present charged, and other arrangements had been
made which would greatly facilitate the rapid transmission
of news. The violation of secrecy had by the bill been
made a misdemeanour, and all fear of " tapping" had
been set aside by the inquiry which had taken
place into the matter, and which showed that
such a matter was altogether impossible.. He did not
feel it necessary to go any farther into the matter. The
bill would be of great advantage to the commercial interests
of the country, it would conduce to the comfort of the
pri :ate and domestic circle ; and as it would prove advan-
tageous to the country at large, and bear investigation in
every point of view, he recommended the house to give
its assent to the measure.

Mr. GOSCIIEN generally supported the bill, but
thought the estimated income, when the telegraphs Caine
into the possession of the Government in 1869, had been
overstated £lOO,OOO at least.
