Letters from Barcelona state th at the Queen, in consequence

LAW AND POLICE.
A man of the name of Lester was charged at Maryleboile-
office with having travelled on the London and Birmingheg
Railway a greater distance than that for which he bad pew,
and for refusing to satisfy the demand made upon him for the
excess fare, thereby rendering himself amenable to a penalty
not exceeding 40s. for the offence. He was ordered to pay $
fine of 215., and in default of payment was committed for
eight days.
John Alves, the person charged with having fraudulent
obtained two promissory notes of 1,0001. each from Lord •
Fitzroy, attended at Marlborough-street, to meet the further
proceedings in the case. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the
defence, said without giving any opinion, or going into apt
investigation as to the guilt of the accused party, though ThP
belief was that the accused had committed no legal offence,
he was ready, as his Learned Friend entertained a different
view of the law, to enter into recognisances to meet the
charge at the sessions. This arrangement was agreed to 11
the other party. There is one main point in the defendant,"
favour. A bill in Chancery has been filed against him and
two others, and the third section of the above Act prohibit*
in such a case, any criminal proceedings.
John Tunnacliffe, a respectable-looking young man, do
scribed as a smith, was finally examined at Queen-square ell
the charge of feloniously assaulting and wounding Sarah

custody for upwards of a month, in consequence of the der
gerous state of the complaining party, who has been unable
to leave the hospital. • The prisoner, who made no defence,
but appeared much affected while the evidence of the wit"
nesses was being read over, was committed for trial at the
Central Criminal Court. _

Simon Simmons, a well-dressed Jew, was charged at Lsol-;
beth-street with swindling several respectable tradesmen 4);
goods to a very considerable amount. The publication of tll
former examination of the prisoner in the newspaper' 1301
been the means of disclosing his former career; and, fro,
letters received by the magistrate, it appears that he has bee
before implicated in similar transactions. Two letters front
Carlisle were read, in which the writers stated that they.
confident that the prisoner was a person who had comrsltte
" awful havoc" in that city about a year ago. The prisoner
was then remanded.

the floor of the shop, narrowly missing the parties 'Arcot,.

but as no injury was effected, no notice was then taken eis.eo
affair.:; Shortly afterwards, however, another bullet was afoot
with great violence through the plate-glass of the folding f

leading into the shop. Fortunately this fell harmless at the es,
of the parties employed, who may be considered as haviite'
taped most miraculously. The ball has perforated theog
glass very cleanly, the hole through which it passed nett safe
much larger than its own diameter. Finding he was to
