CENTRAL C1?1111INAL COURT.—This Day.

(Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.)
THE CASE OF EADAHE RACHEL.
Mr. Gibbon said he had to ask his lordship to
make an order to make up the record of the trial
according to the facts of the case. The Attorney-
General's fiat had been obtained, and the record
had been drawn up, but it was desirable
that it should be made up according to
fact. He did not think there would be any diffi-
culty in the case.

Mr. Commissioner Kerr did not see any objection.
The clerk of the arraigns would do. so.
Mr. Avery said he should be quite prepared to do
so directly, but the only difficulty was what was
wanted.

Mr. Gibson said all he required was the names
of the judicial persons present at each day of the
trial.

Mr. Avery said the general rule in similar cases
was to put down that the trials took place before
the whole of the parties. Ile was quite pre-
pared to do that, but it was in this instance re-
quired that the names of the persons on the
bench, when the trial actually took place, should be
inserted.

Mr. Gibbon said he only wanted to have it
clearly set forth how the Court was constituted on
each day of the trial.

Mr. Avery said he would do that, but he thought
the words "other justices" ought to appear.
Mr. Gibbons again objected to that.

Mr. Avery said he would so state the matter of
the chief contention, viz., whether your lordship
had power to try the case.
Mr. Gibbon agrtin objected to chief contention
being stated.

After some further discussion it was arranged
IA the record should be drawn up so as to show
he constitution of the Court on eats day of the

rial.

POLICE 1.. V TELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBORO UGLI-S MEET.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF BEGGING.—John Bell, a
carpenter, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged
with begging.
Alfred 13eook, 111 C, said that on the previous
night he was in Jerinyn-street when he was called
by a gentleman who said that he had just given the
prisoner, who had begged of him, a sovereign, and
that after doing so he believed the prisoner
to be an impostor. He took the prisoner
to the station, and, after the charge was taken,
made inquiries, and found that what the prisoner
had toll the gentleman was correct, and having
informed the gentleman of the result of his iniuiries
he declined to go on with the charge, and gave
him a sovereign to hand to the prisoner that morn-
ing, at 'the same time expre,sing a hope that the
matter might be made public that the prisoner
might get employment.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no wonder the dis-
trict was harassed with beg,girs when gentlemen
gave persons sovereigns without knowing anything
about them.

Brook said the prisoner's wife w. 1.3 in a m)st de-
plorable state.

Mr. Tyrwhitt sail the prisoner would b 3 dis-
charged, but, at the same time, he felt bouni to
state that such acts as those of the gentleman
were likely to induc3 other persons to become
beggars, and counteracted what the law meant to
be done.

THE MARGUIS TOIVNSIIEND AND THE BEGGARS.
Margaret Casey, a woman with a child iu her arms,
was charged with begging.

The coachman to the Marquis Townsheud proved
seeing the prisoner begging in Bond-street ye.tt3r-
day, and by direction of the Marquis he give her
into custody.

The Marquis Townshend said that seeing the
prisoner begging he directed his coachman to give
her into custody. Ha had the prisoner before him
(Mr. Tyrwhitt) a few months ago, when she was
sent to prison, and as he knew her to be a most
violent, drunken woman he thought if she was re-
manded for a few days some arrangement might be
made by which her two eldest children, who were
sent into the streets by her to beg, might be sent to
a school.

The prisoner said the children did not beg, but
sold lights.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, in remanding the prisoner, re-
marked that it was a fortunate thing there was a
person in the world who interested himself in such
matters.
