PRECAUTIONS IN LONDON AND GRIMSBY.

The cholera scare has to some extent taken possession of the minds of those responsible for the health of London. Dr. Collingridge, the medical officer to the Port Sanitary Authority, has already made arrangements for any emergency, and there is no telling the hour that the yellow flag may be flying on some vessel in the Thames and being obliged to remain in quarantine. A warning has been received that many thousands of Russian Jews are about to migrate into London, and this has put the authorities doubly on the watch.

The Queen will hold a Council at Osborne, to-day, for the purpose of swearing-in a few new Privy Councillors, and signing documents previous to her departure for Scotland. Council, on his appointment as Minister of cations were made, and all granted.

The Chairman said there was not much ground for remark in the report of the Chief Constable, and they might thoroughly congratulate him and the borough generally upon there being a less number of persons proceeded against, and upon there being a more general observance of the licensing laws. The licences appeared to be about the same in number as last year, and altogether the Bench were well satisfied with the work that had been done daring the year. From what cause this state of affairs arose whether from lack of trade, improved morals, or what not he left it to the gentlemen of the press to decide. The whole ef the holders of licences who had been convicted during the year appeared to answer objections lodged by the Chief Constable to the renewal of their licences. Details of each case were given by Mr.

Ward, and excuses were offered by the persons appearing, or by solicitors who represented them. No application was made for the renewal of the licence of either the Dock Tavern beerhouse, Dock-street, or the Royal Oak beerhouse, Manchester-street. Mr. Abraham Spivey, wine and spirit merchant, King-street, the owner of the latter place, said he had not obtained a tenant for the house, but he wished to know if an application could be made to the adjourned Brewster Sessions. He was informed by Mr.

Slocombe that he could not apply for the renewal personally, but that a tenant might do so. Messrs. Bestley and Shaw (Limited), spirit merchants, The Brewery, Lockwood, applied for a retail certificate to a spirit dealer. Mr. Beed, who appeared for the applicants, said the licence asked for was simply to allow soda-water to be sold, and was exactly the same as was granted last year.

Since then a limited company had been formed, and amongst the many provisions of the Licensing Acts it appeared that there was no provision for the transfer of a licence of the character asked for, a fresh application having, to be made. Messrs. Senioe, spirit merchants, CrosB Church-street, also applied for a retail certificate to a spirit dealer. Mr. James Sykes (Messrs.

Armitage and Sykes), for the applicants, said that the same remarks made in the previous case would apply in this instance, the only difference being that the ground of the application was the removal of the premises. Geoboe Henky Rorinsok, grocer, 27, Westgate, asked for a certificate to retail wine off the premises. This was another application made in consequence of removal of premises. Messrs. J.

B. Wood and C. E. Lawton, chemists, 231, Lockwood-road, applied for a certificate to retail 6weets off the premises. Eliza Aemitage, confectioner, 25, King-street, applied tor a certificate to retail sweets on the premises.

Mr. J. H. Dransfield, for the applicant, mentioned that she had recently opened a confectionery shop and wished to be able to supply with received information of the death of the wife of Mr. James Whittaker, a well-known contractor, under singular circumstances.

On my part no effort will be wanting to deserve the confidence I so highly value." Mr. Arnold Morley, Postmaster-General, was, on SUICIDE. A sensational attempted suicide, the parallel of which has not been seen in Leeds for some time past, occurred in Hunslet on Wednesday afternoon. About a quarter to two a slenderly built man entered the Hunslet branch of Messrs. Eastman and butchers premises, Hunslet -road.

There was only the manager, Benjamin Ramsden, in the shop at the time, and this gentleman was busy cleaning the window. It is customary for him about midday to remove the meat from the window to a back portion of the shop until he has thoroughly cleaned the window. The stranger on entering asked for a quarter of a pound of sausage. The manager proceeded to the back portion of the shop to procure the sausage. Having secured the proper quantity he turned towards the man, and was astonished to Bee him sawing at his throat with the steak knife.

Ramsden did not try to prevent the man in his attempt to take his life, fearing that he might turn round on him and inflict bodily harm. He" therefore ran across to the Hunslet Police Station, which is immediately opposite, and gave an intimation of what had occurred. Police-constable 180 Free, who was in the office at the time, proceeded back to the shop, and found the man with a large gash in his throat, and blood issuing. He at once removed the man to the police station, and telephoned for the ambulance. While detained at the station the man gave the name of John Varley (56), bachelor, painter, 12, Savage-street, Hunslet.

Prior to the arrival of the ambulance efforts were made to staunch the wound and prevent the bleeding. The police-officer was partly successful in this attempt, and when the ambulance did arrive the bleeding had stopped considerably. Varley was removed to the infirmary, and in the evening was in a critical condition. NEW POSTAL ORDER REGULATIONS.

At Wakefield, on Wednesday, Arthur Hick, a respectable lad from Primrose Hill, was charged with wantonly discharging a certain firearm in the street. Police-constable Watson, on the 16th was standing at the top of Soothgate, Wakefield, when he heard the report of a pistol, and a bullet was embedded in the woodwork of a shop just above his head.

Hick had fired the pistol from the top window of his master's premises. Defendant admitted the charge, and was let off with a warning on payment of 7s. costs. "TOMMY BURNS IN YORK.

At the Grimsby County Police Court on Tuesday Henry Smith, joiner, of Erighouse. and William Chapman, residing at 208, Victor-street, Grimsby, and formerly of Brighouse, were charged with stealing four brooches nd a thimble, value 2s. from Mr. Charles Beech's fcazaar at Cleethorpes. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners went to the bazaar arm in arm, and Smith took up fonr brooches and asked the price.

They were told 6d each, and while the shop girl was erring another customer the prisoners went away. She then missed the card with the brooches on, and informed Mr. Beech, who called a policeman. Prisoners taid they were drunk at the time, and had no intention stealing the brooches. They admitted taking them from the shop.

Superintendent Stennett said the officer informed him that the men were intoxicated at tte time. Police-constable Cook arrested the men at the railway station, each man having one of the troochei- pinned on his coat collar. In reply to his qoerjous, Chapman said he gave Is. for them at the jzaar on the Colonnade. The prisoners were marched ce to the police station, and a stolen thimble was found optm Chapman.

The other two brooches were not recovered. The police took the names and addresses the men aud let them go.
