LAW AND POLICE.

In the case of Pools v. Palmer, respecting a claim of
137/. made by the plaintiff for professional :services, a
rule had been obtained for a new trial, on the ground
that Lord Abinger had rejected the evidence ten-
dered by the defendant. The plaintiff had been em-
ployed to sell an estate at Norwood ; and, after survey-
ing it and making plans, the defendant refused to pay
the charges, on the plea that he had not signed the do-
cument until
after the work had been performed. The
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff-801. damages.
The action was tried a second time yesterday, at nisi
prius, in the City, before Baron Rolfe, when the Jury
gave a similar verdict, with 100/. damages.
At an inquest held before Mr. Wakley yesterday, on
a child found in the streets, it was remarked by him, on
a reward being offered for the discovery of the parties
who exposed it, that he regretted to say, in not a single
case of exposure in which he had "held an inquest since
he been in office, had the offenders been found.
At Guildhall, James Duncan, charged with stealing a
gold watch when employed by the Parcels Delivery Com-
pany, was brought up for re-examination. The solicitor
for the prosecution not considering the evidence respect-
ing the watch sufficiently strong, brought a charge for
stealing several almanacs, and having adduced evidence,
the prisoner was fully committed.
Brookes, a well-sinker, Squires, a blacksmith, and Hard-
wick and Attwood, blacksmith apprentices, forming four
of a most desperate gang of burglars who have for some
months past infested the neighbourhood of Worcester,
were on Tuesday last committed to take their trial on
two clear cases of robbery and burglary before the War-
wickshire Magistrates.

MISCELLANEOUS.
It is forgotten by many that the present King of Prus-
sia accompanied his father to this count"ry, in 1814, when
be was only nine years of ago ; ho had previously stood
by the side of his royal parent on the field of battle.
One hundred and fifty-six murders haves been com-
mitted in England within the last two years—one hun-
dred and three men, and fifty-three females, being in
the proportion to the population of five to a million.
. The greatest number has taken place in Lancashire and ,
Cheshire, if infants be excluded ; and in Essex, Suffolk,
and Norfolk, there .have been fewer than in any other
county. • .0
The frost has been severe enough in the North during -
the past week, to freeze over the Esthwaite and other
lakes. The ferrymen at Windermere Lake have been
obliged to row nearly all night in order to keep a Ps"
sage open. :f
RUMOURS OT THE DAY.
ale!
A general belief now prevails that the Prince of W
will be christened, Albert Edward. We should be eau
if this were only a rumour, and so, we believe, would the,
whole of the community. There appears to be a strong 1-It
feeling against adopting a new name in the line of our
kings. Edward was the name of the Prince's grand" -`B_,,°l
father, the Duke of Kent, and one, too, for which the "‘"`"
public have perhaps a greater veneration than any other.,:ia r
~
If the nation were polled, ninety-nine out of a hundrecl-ye
•4,c
would vote for Edward VII. . - -
