He was apprehended on 'Sunday. The police recovered £270 of the stolen money, and hope to find other property. The prisoner was remanded for a week.  The Tichborne Claimant has at length been successful in his application for bail. In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Tuesday, the AttorneyGeneral appeared to show cause why bail should, not be taken for the Claimant's release. The crimes with which the prisoner was charged, he said, were of a very serious character, but it was for the Court to say whether the bail was sufficient, or whether prisoner should be bailed at all. The trial would commence in November. Serjeant Ba4antine aaid" he believed the trial could not commence till December, and there• was no ground to suppose the Claimant would evade the enquiry. Ultimately the Bench granted the application to bail, the, amount of bail fixed by Chief Justice Bovill being taken as sufficient.
