MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-
(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Amistant-Judge.)
George °come. 40, stablem►n, was indicted for ste►ling •
mare and ► gelding, the property of Charles Case.
Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton defended the pH-
enner.

litieprosecutor stated that he lived at New IClllmanatreet,
St. Pancras, was • cab proprietor, and had known the pri-
soner for about six months as an ostler, and he had been in
and out the yard. Witness had a gelding and a mare for
sale about three weeks ago, and the prisoner came
into the yard and said he had got a cus-
tomer for one of them. He told him to bring his cus-
tomer, but in a few days afterwards the prisoner came
spin and said his friend would not run about to look after
hones, and asked if he might take them to show him. The
prosecutor assented, and said if his friend approved of them
that he was to bring him back, u he (prosecutor)
would not allow the hones to be sold off the pre-
mises. He told the prisoner that the price of the
horses would be SI., but he did not authorise him to sell
them. On the contrary, be expressly told him that be
would sell them himself. On the 30th of January he found
that the horses were gone from the stable, and on the
Monday following, on seeing the prisoner, he asked him
what had become of the horses, and he said "Some one
has sold them for 21. Ils., and they stopped Ils. for selling
them." When the prisoner was at the station-house he
said that George Everett had sold them in the market.
George Everett, dealer in hones, said the prisoner brought
him a grey gelding and a bay mare to sell for him. lie
sold one for 255. and the other for 26e.

WdliainYoucg, of 64, Collier-street, Pentonville, said he
bought a grey gelding in Copenhagen-fields for 26e. of a man
who said he was • dealer in coke.

William Suet ;aid he;l;4;tiiht the mare for 25e. of •
man is the market.

In cram-examination of these witnesses by Mr. Ribbon,
they dated that low as the price appeared to be, they soon
became thoroughly disgusted with their bargains, u these
amends were broken winded, broken backed, and one of
them was lame in three legs. With respect to the gelding,
when it was produced at the police-dace the purchaser
was warned that if he attempted to work it he would be
prosecuted by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. When he took the horse out he covered it up
with • cloth, so that the detente of the animal should not
be seen ; and, indeed, he felt thoroughly ashamed of it
hinelf.

Mr. Raton inquired of the wittier whether he supposed
&gm. bad been used to give the horse • lively appearance
at the time he made the purFbase of it.

The winsome rid that would have been of no use an it was
toolar goselforithat. (Laughter.) He had no idea that he
should get more money for it than be gave, unless there
were ((enter fo,le to be found than he was.
. _

Mr:Ribton, for the • 'er contended that these animal"
were sold for their full value, and were not at all likely to
be sold for any more unless they were to find • greater fool
than Moses in " The Vicar of Wakefield," who sold • pony
for • CYO of spectacles and shagreen cases. These
were really worthless, animals, and only fit for the knacker's
yard. As to the felony, there was no evidence to sustain
it, as the prwwer had been authorised to sell these ex-
hausted and emaciated animals, and had he obtained 91. for
them they would never have heard anything about this
felony.
The Assistant Judge having summed np, the jury found
him Guilty. . . .

The prooar was sentenced to imprisonment and hard
labour or six months.
The horses were ordered to be given up to prosecutor.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(TELLS DAY.)

DEATH OF DANIEL W. HARVEY, ESQ.
(THIS DAY.)

Wo regret to announce the death of Mr. Daniel
Whittle Harvey, the well-known chief commissioner of the
city of London police. The death took place it half-put
six o'clock this morning, at his residence, Old Jewry. He
was taken ill on Friday, but his medial adviser then appre-
hended nothing serious.

Few men were better known to the public of the metro-
polis than the late Mr. Harvey ; indeed, he was at one time
a highly popular favourite with the liberals throughout the
kingdom. Mr. Harvey first entered parliament, we believe,
se member for °debater, for which borough he was returned
chiefly by the dissenting interest. In parliament his re-
markable oratorio' powers soon obtained for him ■
foremost place amongst the speakers of the day, and the
services which he rendered to every cause with which the
liberal party was identified, were unquestionable. He
afterwards sat for Southwark, and as a metropolitan member
became yet more vigorous as a chief of the Radical party.
His subsequent career—the circumstances attending his
acceptance of the office of chief commissioner of the
City police, especially the provision supposed to
have been introduced for the purpose of removing a dis-
agreeable antagonist of the government from the
parliamentary arena, precluding the holder of the
office from sitting in parliament—are fresh in the
recollection of our readers. Under him the City
police became one of the most effective municipal guards in
Europe. His loos will be severely felt in the City, where
he was well known to everyone. It is only about a fort-
night ago that be went to Witham, in From (his
native oounty) for the purpose of reading at the Literary
Institute the tragedy of Cato. He was received with
much enthusiasm, and the reading was vastly enjoyed by
the resident gentry who bad assembled. Mr. Harvey, we
believe, was nearly eighty years of age.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoca.

There is no further decline to-dsy either in the
French ur the English funds, yet the markets wear
a rather dull appearance. Consols are sup-
ported at the recovery which took place yes-
terday afternoon. With the exception of a rise in
South Eastern, there is scarcely any change in
English railways. The foreign stock market is
steadier, but presents little recovery.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
69fr. 62c., being nearly the same as yesterday.

. - . .

ness report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Console,

A rally of I per cent has occurred in the Turkish
Loans of 1858 and 1862, and the Coos°lid4s.
Greek Coupons are also better, but the Bonds
remain heavy. Spanish securities are fiat, and
Russian and Italian dull. Spanish Certificates,
however, are well supported. The new Portuguese
loan shows steadiness. New Granada Bonds " ex all"
are firm. Some of the present quotations are annexed :
—Turkish, 1864 loan, 89 to 90 ; ditto, 1858, 711
to 72} ; ditto 1862, 681} to 69; the Consolid6s, 40f

continues to more in favour of Austria, having
declined to 145.60.
It is understood that another dividend on the
New Granada Bonds known as "ex all" is likely
to be announced in the course of a few days. Only
about five weeks ago Messrs. Barings notified pay-
ment of the previous dividend, consisting of se. 20.
per cent on the "ex all," and Is. 2d. per cent on
the Deferred Bonds, and representing the interest
coupon due in June last.
