THB POLICE CO URTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Williams If was brought before the Lord Mayor
upon the charge of having stolen 1001. In Bask of England
notes, the property of the directors of the National Pro-
vincial Bank of England, Blshoprgnee+treet. Mr. Bodkin
sppvared for the prosseanales.
The

learned cinunel stated that the establishment in
whom behalf he appeased had several branch banks in
different parts of the oloatry, and that the prisoner, who
was in the Lakin lea" had been liteaght into difficulties
which led to the oboe% hy
_hie mareeetion with those
villainous hettltrtiMengs wki bad bass the means of
ruining soh sambas al_ /sew sea. The notes had been
stolen *am a pared Met* had been transmitted from the
Hanley branch bank to the bank in Blaltor!sgate, but the
directors had so high an opinion of the prisoner and the
other clerks, that they 'apposed the robbery must have
been committed tine* a different channel, until a strict
inveitatida 11111, ha" upon that investigation they
succeeded in mond of the notes which had been
abstracted to the ptioner.
Mr. Thomas am manager of the Hanley
Brame dais ?diesel Preekesial Bank of England. Oa
the 6th et May a readttasee wee sent from our branch to
the bank in Bishopegatettreet, the total amount of which
was 3791., the bank notes forming part of the remittance,
amounting to 2061. They were numbered and dated in the
following manner: 26,521, 7th of June, 1852, for 201.;
930013, 71,545, and 71,641, Bth of January, 1853, 101. each ;
2e, Bth of February, 1863, 10/. ; 39,471, Liverpool, 20th
y, 1852, 101. ; 06,638, Bristol, 23rd of June, 18.51,
101. ; 51,726, London, 6th of August, 1853, 101.; 76,031,
Leeds, 15th of July, 1852, 61. ; 59,216, 15th of July, 1852,
61. After the notes were counted by one of the clerks I put
them in a half sheet of paper and then into a linen enve-
lope, which we sealed with two seals and sent by poet.
Mr. H. F. Price, clerk in the Donley Branch Bank,
said-1 copied those entries from the notes themselves, and
the manager counted them afterwards, and directed them to
the chief office.

Mr. George Dot Cossor, clerk in the cub department of
the Chief-office in Bishopsgate-street, said the prisoner was
a clerk in the same department, of which Mr. R. C. Bell is
the chief. We are the only clerks in that department. I
remember being at the office on the morning of the Gth of
May abaut two minutes after 9 o'clock. I saw the parcels,
which were directed to the bank;and amongst them the
parcel from the Durnaley branch. They all appeared to be
sealed. Mr. Bell did not arrive until afterwards. The
prisoner and I opened the letters before he came. The pri
laser called my attention to the Durnsley remittance as con•
Mining 100/. less than we were advised. lie had opened
that parcel in consequence of his statement. I counted the
notes at his desire. He had the parcel in his hands, and he
handed to me 1051. in bank notes instead of 2051. When
Mr. Bell came I handed the parcel to him, and he counted
them, and the deficiency appeared. I generally leave the
bank at a quarter past four, and the pr:soner was in the
habit of leavin,t it at the same time.
Mr. S. Wilson, clerk at the Waterloo station of the South
Western Railway, said—On the oth of May I was receiving
money from parties wishing to go by the five o'clock foreign
traffic train to Jersey and Paris. A short time before the
train departed, a person applied to me far three first-class
tickets for Jersey (11. 10s. each). I believe that person to
be the prisoner. lam satisfied that he is the person. He
paid me with a 101. note, and I gave him the tickets and
the change. He than asked me if I could change anoth. r
101. note for him, and I did so. The request struck me as
unusual to be asked for change by a person going to Jersey,
and I took more particular notice on that account. I wrote
my name on the corner of each note. I perceive the latter
part of my nama on the note produced, No. 93,306, and
dated the 9th of January, 1953, for 101. The note is one
of these which I change-. for the prisoner.
Mr. Bodkin stated, in explanation of this part of the
evidence of the -witness, that the Clerks at the Bask of Rog-
had were in the habit of tearing off the corners of the
asses epos receiving them, and that the first part of the
witasse's mane became separated thus from the last.

The witness said it was the practice at the establishment
to which he belonged to writs the names of the clerks who
received notes oa the corners.
Toe Lord Mayor said it was important to the public that
the practice of the Bank of England in that respect should
Ise known through the press, as the identity of stolen notes
might be destioyed if those through whose hands they
paned omitted to mark them in places most liable to be re•
moved.

The Intone—The three tickets to Jersey have never been
returned to the ogle*.

Mr. Bodkin—They were am, used. Were you asked
for all gold ?
Witness—l was requested to give the change all in gold.
The prisoner said he did not wish to ask any of the wit-
nesses any question, and was remanded fur seven days.
Daniel Forrester, the officer, requested that the Lord
Mayor would permit him to make a statement relative
to what had taken place upon the trial of Edwio
Henry Powell, who had been committed from the
Mansion-house on the charge of having been en-
gaged with a person named Joseph . Farrell in
forging and uttering a receipt for money with intent to de-
fraud. It appeared from observations which were made in
the court, that there was an impression that he had kept
back evidence which, in justice to the prisoner, ought to
have been given. Without attempting to impute the
slightest blame to any one, he felt that he was bound, in
justice to himself, to declare that he had kept nothing back ;
that, on the contrary, he had mentioned to the clerk, to
the solicitors for the prosecution, and to the I d counsel
for the prosecution, that the prisoner had made a com-
munication to him as to the various places at which the
prisoner had been with Farrell, but he bad not beea
afforded any opportunity of making the statement until the
trial took place, not having been even called upon to give
evidence before the grand jury upon the occasion. He took
the liberty of applying to the Lord Mayor in this matter,
as his lordship was aware of what had taken plan upon the
examinations, and knew how important it was that a per-
son situated as he was should do all in his humble Dower
to remove a wrong impression of his character and his sense
of duty.
The Lord Mayor said he had read in the news-
paean the account of the trial, and he certainly was struck
with the forcible and important observations of the learned
Judge as to the desire entertained by detective officers to
gain a character for real aetivity and admen by pursuing a
very objectionable course. For those observations there
were, it was unnecessary to say, after so high an authority,
unquestionable grounds; but he felt much gratification in
stating that Forrester's conduct had been upon this occa-
sion of the investigation at the Mansion House, as it had
been upon all occasions which had come under the view of
the chief magistrate, marked with fairness, promptness, and

MARKETS.

ST...GAIL—The average price of Sugar, the produce of
the British pouessions in America, computed frem the re-
turns made in the week ending the lath June, 1853, is
245. I.d. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 235. 33.
Sugar, the produce of th- Indies, 2^_..313. The
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 235. lola.

COTTON.—Ltvgagooz, Jules 17.—The cotton market,
in common with all other commercial and monied interests,
has been somewhat under check, front political considera-
tions growing onto( the Turkish question. We hove been
more or less embarrassed by the strike of the labouring
men about the docks and warehouses for an advance of
wages. This latter question, however, has now, we pre-
sume, been arranged and settled. Were everything per-
fectly clear and satisfactorily &ragged in respect to the
Turkish question, there can hardly be a doubt that the
latest advaces from the United States, having reference to
the aggregate amount of the present crop, with the propor-
tion to find its way to Great Britain, together with
the prospects for the crop now on the ground, would have
' acted immediately upon our market in the way of a little
advance in price. As it is, the market, upon the whole,
has only been sustained at our full former quotalions, those
qualities of American above sid. being strong, and almost
quotably higher, while the low descriptions under that price
are still rather heavy and dull, though somewhat more sale-
able at former rates. Burets and Brazils are perfectly firm
land steady, the tendency being also in f f holders.
In Egyptian cotton there is no change, large quantities of
common quality being on the market for sale at last
week's quotations. The committee of broker' place fair
Uplands at 6114 ; Mobile, at bid. ; and Orleans, at o}d.
18,300 American, 1,690 Surat, 60 Bengal, 250 Egyptian,
and 100 Bahia, are reported to have been taken on specu-
lation ; 4,8.50 American, 940 Surat, 160 Madras, 220 Ben-
gal, and 80 Egyptian, for export. Sales for the week,
66,800 bales.

WOOL.-lAinns, Jrnis 17.—Sales of English wool have
been extensive during the present week, and prices are a
shade iu favour of the buyers. The recent intelligence
from the East has had the effect of rather checking trans-
actions in the foreign wool market. Prices, however, are
about the same as last week.
HOSlERY.—Liteitatut, June 17.—The Yarn market
is somewhat Batter this week, and some lots of Wool have
been rather cheaper. Altogether, there is a temporary
feeling of suspense in this branch of trade from the uncer-
tainty as to which turn prices may take. Yarns have got to
such a height, in fact, in consequence of the high nths of
the raw material, that there is no disposition on the part of
the manufacturers to make speculative purchases—they
buy merely to sort up stocks. There is no accumulation
of goods in stock of useful sorts ; and, taken as a whole,
indeed, the stocks of manufactured goods in hand are
small for the time of year. There are many foreign orders
in the market, but their execution awaits their confirma-
tion, in consequence of the present high rates of material.
A good many American and Continental buyers have vis-
ited our market this week. The American shipments far
the fall trade will be closed in about a month. Employ-
ment continues steady.

CORN.—CHELI(II,OIID, Juno 17.—There was only a
moderate supply to-day of Wheat, and buyers acted with
great caution, still the growing crop being badly spoken of
farmers are unwilling to take lower rates; prices must be
quoted slow at last week's quotation ; red, 445. to 475. ;
extra, 48s. ; white, 435. to 631. ; extra, 61s. Barley: none
offering. Beans scarce and dearer, 341. to 365.; Mazsgan
ticks, 36.. to 33e.

Litccomu, Juan I7.—We had a fair show of Wheat at our
Exchange to-day, consisting principally of large lots, which
were taken off at last week's prices, the market closing dull.
Very little doing in spring Corn. Wheat, red, 495. to 625. ;
white, 635. to 665.

LIVERPOOL, June 17. Although in several of the
provincial markets of this country, within the last few days,
Wheat, Barley, Oata, and Beans are again reported ls. and
Is. to 2s. dearer; others, and especially where rain hes
more generally prevailed, appear to have made a stand, and
are noted less buoyant ; while the trade is Ireland, in-
fluenced by the improved aspect of the growing crops, and
the anticipation of the next fleet of grain vessels from the
south of Europe,seems to be kept in suspense,and incapable
of immediate amendment. The highly beneficial effects de-
rived from the late plenteous rains upon all the growing
crops in this neighbourhood, have, even independent
of the unsettled differences between the contending powers
in the East, reused a considerable degree of dulness
in the leading departments of the Core trade
here during the intervening period from Tuesday
last to this date, priest on the whole, however. remaining
nominally equal to our previous currency. The arrivals
into this pon coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last,
are still upon a limited scale ; those of Foreign produce
comprising a moderate import of Wheat and Flour from the
United States and Canada, with 5,068 qrs. of the former
from Danzig and Konigsberg, beyond which and 298 qrs.
of Indian Corn we have no fresh supplies from abroad : the
exports during the same time are light. The trade has as-
sumed, generally, a very quiet tone ; fine weather has, fur
the time, a decided influence upon the operations of those
who usually buy in quantity, and at to-day's market the
transactions in Wheat are thus confined entirely to coo-
amen, upon a very moderate extent of business, at prices
a shade under those of Tuesday lastiFlour is also offered at
trifling decline, without inducing any but retail purchases.
Barley is steady in value and demand. Malt the tarn dearer.
Oats and Oatmeal in slow request, barely maintaining their
recent value. Beans are again dearer; the market is cleared
of Egyptian at 313 i. to 86*. 6d. Indian Cora almost without
inquiry, and nominally rather cheaper ; distant cargoes of
Danube would sell. but the rates offered are too low to work
transactions at the moment. Arrivals iato Liverpool and
Runcorn from the 14th to the 16th June, inclusive : Wheat,
8,284 qrs.; Barley, 1,219 ; Malt, 688 ; Oats, 3,437 • Beans,
201; Indian Corn, 292 ; Oatmeal, 58 sacks ; Flour, 370
sacks; 9,006 brls. Exports to Ireland: Indian Corn, 2,1t2
qrs. ; Indian Meal, 309 Ms.; Flour, 92 sacks ; 2,52 bele.

WattErtrtn, June 17.—Our arrivals of Wheat are consi-
derable this week; the fine rains and seasonable weather
have seine influence upon the trade, and check the
activity we have of late experienced ; to-day the transac-
tions are limited, and prices are barely equal to those of
this day se'nnight. Barley as before. Oats and Shelling
are firm at previous rates. Beans and other articles with-
out variation. Imports during the week :—Wheat, 21,307
qrs. ; Barley, 334 ; Oats, 85; Beans, 715 ; Linseed, 2-26.
