THE POLICE COURT&

cLEIKENWILL.

Charfat William Langford, proprietor of the cab 11,133,
and Albert McMaid*, a dnver is his employ, were charged—
the former for Muir); caused a horse to be cruelly tortured.
and the latter for haring tortured the lame animal by
driving it whilst it wu in a totally unfit state for labour.
Mr. W. Love Weeded to prosecute ; and Mr. Ricketts
watched the mu for klalltuieh.
_ _

James Rutherford, an officer, was called, and stated
that he was in the York-road, King's-env, when he saw
the defendant Idelhuish in charge of the horse in quill.
LIM, which was in a cab standing Dear the Great Northern
Railway. 13e noticed the horse moving about io a very
restless manner, and he was about to enemies it when
two persons got into the cab, and as the defendant was
driving a he plopped him. Upon examining the horse
he found large =operating wounds on the beck, shoulders,
and withers, all of which the harness was pushing into ; its
near fore-knee was badly broken, it was lams in all ittlm
and so poor in condition that its bones nearly proi
through the akin. The defendant ldelbuish said him maser
knew the horse was in a bed state, and he (the master) had
insisted on his taking it out to work. The defendant (Lang-
ford) subsequently admitted that he had ordered the bores
to be worked, but war not aware that it was in such a bad
state. The defendant Langford had offered him lOs. not to
press the charge, or if he did to let him off as lightly as
possible.
Mr. Arthur Cheny, the veterinary surgeon to the Metro-
politan police, wee and fully corroborated the officer's
statement, adding, that so bed a case seldom came under his
mottos.

The defendant Langford mid that he was ignorant of the
animal being so unfitted for work. It was the first com-
plaint of the kind, and be trusted the magistrate would
take a lenient view of the matter, aad he would take we
that a horse io the state described should not be worked
from his stables.

Mr. Barker commented upon the pose cruelty in workieg
bones in such a condition, and .aid that but for the fact of
them being no previous conviction against the defendant
Langford be should have committed bite to prison without
a fin.. lAugford moat now pay a floe of 31. and 12.. 6d.
costs, or go to prison for six weeks. The other defendant
would now be discharged, but he had better be carsfuL
The line and wets were paid.
Robert Bopping was next charged by Mr. Love with
having caused a horse to be cruelly tortured.
In this case it appeared that a driver in the employ of
the defendant was seen by police-constable 132 E driving
the horse ia an empty van, having recently discharged a
load of a too decals. The one was ao lame in ita fore-
legs and so weak as to be unable to stead, and it fell down
in Jaddetreet.

Mr. Cherry, the veterinary rurgeon, was celled to els-
mine the animal, and be pronounced it as being totally
turd op and unfit for labour. It was evidently an old,
worn oat cab horse.

Mr. Love said the defendant was carrying on business
in King's-mews, King.street, Gorden-town, an • coke.
dealer and cab-proprietor, end it appeared to be Ms prac-
tice to work bin used-up cab horses in his coke moms till they
bad not a leg to stand on. It was only • week before that
the defendant escaped punishment by consenting to have a
horse in a similar state slaughtered.
The defendant expressed his willingness to have the horse
killed, and said he was sorry.
Mr. Barker said that in addition to having the hone
killed he would have to pay • fins of :00, and the next
tune, if the fuse we proved, the deleadant would, is all
probability, go to prison.
Mr. Cherry said he should now feel it his duty to inspect
every horse in the defendant's stables.
The Sae was paid, and the horse was taken to the
knacker's.
WESTMINSTER.

Daniel M'CartAy and .feTtis .—ficilTsd, two respectable
looking young men. were charged with conveyatig toksooo
into the Millhank Penitentiary, rostra:, to the regulations.
Dennis Parr, chief warder of the Millbank Penitentiary,
said that the tobacco had bees brought into the prison that
morning. The defendants were memos accompasying a van
of wood which was taken isto lb. artisans' yard. While
the defendants were there M 'Carthy was seen to throw the
tobacco produced (about a quarter of an ounce) to a prisoner
at work in the yard, and the tobacco was immediately taken
possession of. The prisoner to whom the tobacco was thrown
mme from the same quarter astbedefeodants Whitechspel
—and they were in ell probability intimates.
Mr. fielfe—Did you my anything to the defendants?
Witness—Tin ; I spoke to firCartliy, who admitted that
he threw the tobacco to the primmer' and said he did not
see any harm in it. The defendants were both together
when M'Carthy threw the tobacco.
Wearthy—l went to the prison weekly with some wood,
and on. of the prisoners in the yard asked me if I could
give bun a bit of tobacco, and I threw him a little bit, about
as much as would 511 a pipe, and that is all, and I had no
notion that I was doing any wrong.
Mr. &Ile— W hat hove you to say, Holland
Holland—l have nothing to say. I went with M`Carthy,
not knowing that be was going to the prison. I Dover was
there before. I know nothing about the prison or the
tobacco.

Dennis Pan—l have no doubt the prisoner is well known
to the defendants.

M'Carthy—l itnow nothing of the prisoner. I can get •
xi: years' good character. 1 merely threw the poor fallow
a bit of tOOO, because he asked me for it.
Holbind—l know nothing whatever of the prisoner, and
when 1 accompanied ll'earthy this morning I was not even
aware he was going to the prison.
Mr. ffelfe-1 have no discretion about this matter. lam
obliged to enforce the law es I find it. Any parson carrying
prohibited articles into the prison is liable to a penalty of
40s. I must, therefore, convict you, M'Oerthy, in that
amount. I catieot indict less fine. Holland in diachauted.

AUICIDE.

On Friday afternoon, between 1 and 4 o'clock,
a shocking occurrence took place at 108, limyleboaorcad,
Marylebone. It appeals that for several months past there
has been residing on the first-Boor of the honor mentioned,
a woman, her child, and • sane, who occupied a room on
the second-floor. Oa taking theme apartments, the woman
gave the name of Mrs. Chappel, and the ours being
known by the name of Russell. Mrs. Chappel dated that
her husband, through business engagements, could only
visit her periodically. After a short time, • gentleman re.
peatedly mune, and represented himself as her husband.
This continued until seven week. ago, when some us.
pleasantness is said to have occurred between them. On
Friday, at 1 o'clock, Mrs. Chappel sent the nuns to Covent-
garden market., to buy • peach. On her return at half-past 3
she foetid the door of Mrs. Chappel's room locked. Sh•
knocked several times. and then hearing moaning sounds in
the room, sent for Mr. Oathrow, hire. Chappel's medical
adviser, who lives in Weymouth-street. Upon his ar-
rival, be broke open the door, and found Mtn Chapped
lying on the Boor covered with blood, which proceeded
from wounds in her throat. Making further search, be
found the child on the bed, covered over
with • pillow. The bed and nattrees were
soaked through with blood, which he found coming front
• wound inflicted about an inch below the
child's left nipple. He Bret directed his attention to Mrs.
Chapped, and sewed up three wounds in her throat. He
then attended the child, and bandaged up its wound. Being,
it is said, intimately acquainted with the affairs of the
family, Mr. Catnrow was desirous of avoiding an exposure,
and thinking both the unfortunate woman and her child
would reoover, he refrained from informing the police. On
Sunday morning, however, the child was seized with alarm-
ing symptoms, and died at 12 o'clock, whereupon he ad-
dressed a letter to Mr. Toddy, the superintendent of the
D division, notifying that • murder and an attempted
suicide had been committed, and that he should continue is
charge of the mother until the *meal of the police. At 1
o'clock Mr. Inspector Sims, and leaseson, a countable, both
of the D division, arrived on the spot, and on being ac-
quainted by Mr. Cathrow with tee facts of the case,
they searched the room. At the back of the shutters
Dawson found a small stiletto, or dagger, the end of which
was bloody. Tbesurgeou banded to Mr. Sims a razor, the
blade of which was covered with blood. Oa making a
further search they discovered a quantity of bedding and
clothing covered with blood and steeped in cold wake. On
the sideboard • Bible was laid open, sod the 9tb, 10th4l2Z
13th, lfah, and 18th verses of the 37th psalmunde
in in There was also 011 the sideboard a lecture delivered
by the Rev. Hugh Millar on " Courtship and Matrimony,"
several passages of which were undemoored. There were
also found • good deal of money and some documents, in the
latter cif which there was a copy of • will nada by Mr.
Chapied which contained a codicil leaving a sum of money
to Mrs. Chappel. The admission of the woman goes to
show that after she bad sent the nurse out she fetched
the child from the upper room to her own
apartment, when, after stabbing it in the place
mentioned, she cot her own throat and then fainted.
• Reviving at tee some time, and finding her child still alive,
I she, after giving her throat two other cuts with the razor,
took a pillow and, placing it upon the face of her child, lay
upon it. And it appeared that she afterwards slipped down
on the floor to the position in which she real found. The
police also aseertamed that, prior to committing the deed,
the woman had dressed herself and her child in white cloth-
ing, and had laid at the bedside all necessary lanes and
clothing for laying them out when dead. Subsequently it
has been ascertained that the woman's real name is tank
Emily Mitchell, seed 24 ; that her child's name is Sarah
Emily Adeline, aged 14 months ; and that the nurse is
Mary Mitchell, • sister of the unfortunate woman. We
recrvin from giving publicity to other rumours that have
come to our knowledge until after the officiel investigation.
The woman is at present is • most dangerous condition,
and, Walt is worse, she is enceinte. She is in the custody
of the police. Dr. Lankester will bold an ingued on the
body of the child tomorrow.

THE BRITISH AND PORZION CORN TRADE.

(Frew the Mark-lam &prat.)

Another wink of fine weather given so much more
security for the gathering of the crops in good order ; but
we have seen some new wheats, which show too much pre-
cipitancy in cutting, es well as the effects of last week's
rain, the @maples being too green and damp for a ready
sale. A few weeks will show ; bat we think anticipations,
both se to quality and productiveness, will prove beyond
fact& Indeed this is already We cane in Southern Russia,
where heavy crops of first-rate quality were recently ex-
pected, but the excessive beat experienced then has consi-
derably abated previous expectations, and done berm to the
barley in the Principalities, as well as to the maim in Italy.
Borneo( the crops, too, have beau laid in Belgium by heavy
rains, and the gathering of the rye in Germany has been
thus retarded, and affected the condition of that brought
to market Our own prices for wheat have little
changed, though some markets have given way Is. per qr.
In France the new wheat proves much near than the old,
being worth more by 2s. to 4s. per qr. With suitable
weather for the gathering of the crops in the northern de-
partments prices have rather declined at Paris, though in
the country there have been variations. Holland has been
firm, and Belgium math the same. The Dantsic market,
after partially recovering from a panic produced by failures,
Spiel shows a declining tendency ; but prim io other parts
of Germany have bees fairly supporte4. The riot. at New
York quite suspended business lot a time, and prime there
have declined for breadstuff* ; but uo reliance can be planed
nu quotations from a country so embroiled. And the
Polish question has at last assumed so warlike a character,
that with much diminished imports hitherto, and the possi-
bility of losing Emma supplies, the future seems rather
more hopeful for prices.
The arrival* off the coast since 24th July were 110 car-
goes • of which 28 cargoes were wheat, 76 mane, sod 4
barley.' The prime paid were as follows :—Ghirka wheat,
395. 6d. to 41a per qr., Bessarabia§ :tn. 6d., Galata 425. 6d..
Mail Ms. 6d., alas Galan for continent at 40e. 6d. and
415., mane at 255. 6d. to 28s. 9d., Danube her:ey 25• 9d.
The sales noted Lent week were 47,965 qrs. wheat at
45a. 11d., against 55,377 qrs. in 1862.
The Loudon
i averages were 48e. 4d. on 1,729 qn.
The imports nto the Coiled Kingdom for the week
coding 25th July were 65,967 qr.. wheat, and 16,475 cwta.
flour.

Mooday's wheat trade in London opened on small
English and moderate foreign supplies. In the oourse
of the morning but few samples were exhibited on the
Kentish stands ; but those of Earn were better supplied
than of late. With the return of very tine weather the
market was exoneively dull, sad after long holding at
former rates Essex factors Sirilly gave way Is. per qr. ;
and at this reduction there were still some parcels unsold.
A small mail demand existed for good foreign at former
rates ; but to sell in quantities it would have been Decemary
to take ley! mossy. With good arrivals off the coast the
Boating trade wee without cheeks. On Wednesday there
were 540 qrs. per coast, and 2,040 qrs. foreign. With the
weather continuing See some of Moodey's parcels were still
unsold. hut the small quantity on band prevented any de-
elme. The foreign trade was quite in retail, without any
difference as respects prices. Friday's q_uantitiee were 760
qrs. par coast, and 5.180 gra foreign. The weather being
still clear and beautiful the market was perfectly is cairn,
with a few samples of English still; unsold ; while almost
nothing was paring in foreign.
There wa• a moderate supply of country Sour on Mon-
day, but plenty from America. Business was very dull,
but the best country marks were unchad in value.
Very little inquiry obtained for American Wrote ; town
prices remained as previously, with 475. per sack as the
top quotation. On Wednesday there were 630 sacks coast-
wise, 2,230 barrels foreign. Business then remained very
quiet, with prices nominally the same both for country
marks sod foreign qualities, and there was no change in
town prim. Friday's returns were 720 sacks per coast, and
130 sacks 2,260 barrels. Again the market was dull, but
too little was doing to make any quotable change in country
marks or American barrels.

Very little British barley was exhibited on Monday, and
the foreign arrivals motioned scanty. A few new samples
of malting quality appeared, the beet not being floe.
Foreign, though little in dammed, fully supported the pre-
view currency, especially in griadiag aorta. On Wednes-
day there were no arrivals per coast, but 1,510 qrs. foreign.
With these small supplies the Klee' of all descriptions
were maintained, but the demand was very limited. Fri-
day's returns were coastwise nil, and 2.260 cps. foreign.
This day was a repeat of the former, with prices firm for
grinding foreign, from the small arrivals.
The malt trade on Monday was steady at former quota-
lions, fine being firm. The week closed without any
quotable change of prices.
The supply of oats on Monday was rather below an ave-
rage, with the contribution of 1,400 qrs. English and Irish.
Notwithstanding the fine weather the trade was very firm,
and for line parcels ea drama was occasionally realised.
The Archangels that appeared were light, and only worth
about 19s. to 19s. 6d. per qr. On Wednesday there was
sothiog per coast, but 370qm. Irish, and 13,230 qrs. foreign.
Mondays rates were then fully sustained for all good corn,
and even inferior panels went off baler ex ship. Friday's
returns were 20 qrs. per wait, with 3/0 qrs. Irish and 25,330
qrs. foreign. The firmness with which the week opened
was fully maintained, notwithstanding the fine weather, and
oscasiosaally rather more mousy was paid.
Very few beans were reported, either of home or foreign
growth. The market, without Wise lively, was well sup-
ported for all sorts, there being buyers from the country.
There was no chases to note at the week's close.
There hare been hat few English and only a 'mall lot of
foreign pease os Monday. This grain was quite neglected,
but former quotatious were asked for all desen'ptions.
Friday's prices eolith* same as these &skid on Monday.
There were no foreign arrivals of linseed, while the retires
showed an export of 900 we. Prices were consequently
the turn dearer, with little primped of rosier rates. Oakes
sold well for the tinsel year. The week hilted with an
upward tworleney.
The seed trade wee steady for all descriptions of seri-
culture' seeds. Med Antseista elesumed sold better en

speculation ; rapeseed and fine canary both maintained the
previous value.
With hart est commencing la many places, some of the
wheat mai kets this week were very scantily supplied, and
on this account *emend were fully as high in their quota-
tion. • but where the supplies were better the fineness of
the weather bad an iudueoce, and occasioned a decline of la.
per qr., as at the following planes, viz., Bristol, Boston,
Bury 81. Edmonds, Gdosborough, and Newark.
Tuesday'. market at Liverpool was very dull, and of a
retail chamfer, wheat losing Fraday's improvement, and
prices returning to the range of that dsy teunight. Little
was doing is spring corn. Mixed maize brought 274. to
27a. 3d. ; white, 31.. mgr. On Friday wheat was again
dull, and ld. per costal lower, and maize was also 3d. per
qr. cheaper.
The value of spring corn rather hardened in the course of
the week throughout the country, peas excepted.
In Scotland the price of wheat has been maintained,
though sales were slow. This was the muse at E lioburgh
and Glasgow, other pain remaining a. previously quoted.
The harvest prospects in Ireland continue very good ; the
totting of wheat bad commenced in the south. New oats
were appearing, and the potatoes arriving in Cork were of
better quality than fora long time past, and sold at GL per
211bs. Old black oats . Bs., new lie. 9d., white 7s. 9d. per
barrel.

---Tieretern of fie. weather has brought more dulness on
the Pans flour market, which in the course of the week
has yielded If. per 157 kilos. (equal to &1. per sack English).
The current prices of fine qualities were 57f. to 601. per

country wheat markets varied, there being a rise at several
place. of from 25e. to 75e. per bee., say 74. to ls. 9d. per
qr., but Merle was 9d. per qr. cheaper. Marseilles was un-
altered. At Havre some red American mild at 54f. per
200 kilns. (495. 6d. per qr.l. In Belgium some heavy rains
bad fallen, which, while they greatly benefited the root
crops and grass lands, bad does some damage to the stand-
ing corn. The msrkrt of Antwerp was calm ; some Ame-
rican flour sold at 235. 9d. per MI. Though little wheat
was shown at Bruges, price, were rather easier, but rye was
higher 9d. per qr. Courtrai was very dull. At Liposome
new wheat was sold for delivery in a week at 525. 6d. per
qr. With a poor supply at Maastricht wheat was 9d, per
qr. dearer ; but rye was about 6d. per qr. lower. Hotter-
dam was rather higher for white wheat.
Fine weather kept the market dull at Stranbing, in Bavaria,
and prime drooping ; first quality wheat bed sold at 46.. 6d.,
rye to 2ta. 9d., barley to 22.. 6d., oats to 17s. 9d. per qr.
After sales of about 8,000 qrs. wheat at Dam* at an ad-
' vanes from the lowest of la. 6d. to 3e. per qr. price, were
again pointing downwards. Receipts being small at Emir-
berg. prices were about the same for wheat, notwithstanding
the generally discouraging advion from abroad. Rye,
however, was dearer from bad weather and a demand from
the interior.

Small lota of new rye kept arriving at Berlin, but this
j grain was rather soft, mid did tot fully equal expectatioo : it

other crops were programing favourably. rye to

Advice, from Odessa my that the crops in the neighbour-
hood, as well as those on the meets of the Sea of A toff, have
greatly suffered from the extreme beat, so that, instead of
realising the preepects lately entertained, it war now
thought the yield would be indifferent ' • nevertheless the
accounts from Londoo and the Mediterranean being discou
raging, the prices of wheat had rather given way.
Wheat we. very little inquired for at thlatz, and prices
remaincd much the mime. liminess consisMd meetly of
purchases of old rye for the completion of shipments. No-
thing had been done in new for delivery, the crop having
suffered by the late heat and drought. From the same
cause the new barley was expected to be inferior, being
rather dried than ripened. These fears as to the quality of
grain quite checked . speculation

Mails and oats wire also dearer at Venice from the
drought, but some new wheat had been sold at 45e. Oats
were held at 19.. 3d. to 198.811. per qr.

tation of lower rates, orders for export being very limited ;
