POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

BO W-STREET.

FORGING A BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE.—A young
man named William Rawlings Lindley, residing at
8, Gillingham-street, Pimlico, was placed before Sir
Thomas Henry charged with forging a baptismal
certificate, in order tnat he might by that means
become enabled to compete for an office in the
public service at the Civil Service examination.
Mr. Poland attended on the part of the Trea-
sury to prosecute.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner
had formerly held a temporary situation in the
Yost-office, for which he passed the usual test ;
but that engagement having terminated he en-
tered his name as a candidate for public
employment and for examination by the Civil Ser-
vice Commissioners. The prisoner's real age, it was
stated, was 25,and the baptismal registrar, which it was
alleged he had forged, made it appear that he was but
20, that being the age beyond which candidates
were disqualified to compete. The ages of those
amongst whom the prisoner attempted to pass
were from 16 to 20, and when the prisoner
made his appearance the commissioners became
so doubtful about the genuineness of the certificate
he had furnished that the solicitor of the Treasury
was communicated with, and he at once sent the
matter for investigation by the police at Scotland-
yard. Inspector Williamson at one proceeded to
the prisoner's lodgings, and there discovered the
genuine baptismal register of the prisoner, and
steps were at once taken to prove the case a
forgery.

The minister of the church at Stoke-upcn-Trent
and several other persons gave evidence to prove
the filsity of the document produced by the pri-
soner to prove his age ; and _ _

Sir Thomas Henry, at the conclusion of the ex
amination, fully committed the prisoner for trial.

The two men named William Challoner and
Thomas Jones, who stood remanded on suspicion
of being card-sharpers, were placed at the bar, but
the evidence being insufficient Sir Thomas Henry
discharged them, observing that there was great
suspicion, but not enough evidence to justify him in
sending them for trial.

Jones said he was a respectable man, but
Sir Thomas Henry told him that the flash notes
and counters found in his pocket did not bear out
that assertion, and the less they said about the mat-
ter the better for them.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE-BAD CASE.

W. J. Reed, a carman, of Parson's-green, was
charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals with the following cruelty to
a horse.

Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the
prisoner driving a horse attached to a heavily laden
cart, but so badly laden that all the weight was
pressing on the horse, and seeing the horse flinching
as if in great pain, he examined it and found
on the horse's back, under a piece of sheepskin
which had evidently been placed there to hide it, a
raw wound a foot in length and as broad as a man's
hand, the poor animal being but half fed, and
altogether in a most wretched condition.
Barnes, the gaoler of the court, informed the
magistrate that he had, at the invitation of Tem-
perley, seen the horse, and a more wretched spec-
tacle he had never seen—the poor creature had a
large sore on its back exactly as described by Tem-
perley, its bones were protruding through its skin,
it had scarcely a leg to stand on, and in fact was
all to pieces.
The prisoner said the horse belonged to his
brother, and on the latter attending he refused to
have the horse destroyed, and the prisoner was
therefore fined 40s. or a month.

The prisoner's brother informed the gaoler that
his reason for not consenting to have the horse de-
stroyed was that he intended to have some more
work out of it.
