THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Edward Le Roy, a Belgian, was charged with having
forged and uttered a bill of exchange for 2,300 f., purport-
ing to bear the acceptance of Masts. Cellist and Co., of
Brawls, bankers.
M. D'Asseville, a French merchant, said that on the 26th
of January the prisoner, who was introduced to luni by an
acquaintance, requested an advance of U. upon • foreign
bill of exchange, accepted by Messrs. Cake, bankers of
Brussels. He let him have the money, and afterwards ad-
vanced him further sums, to the amount of 751., on the
faith that the bill of exchange was • geuuine instrument.
The prisoner then produced several other bills of exchange,
purporting to bear the acceptance of well-known and res-
pectable firms at Snouts ; but prosecutor's suspicions
having been excited, he went over to Brussels, and there
ascertained that the signature of ;fern. Cellist was forged,
and that as regarded the other instruments they were not
only forgeries, but the prisoner, instead of having any claim
against the parties, owed every one of them • considerable
sum of money, and had absconded to this country to avoid
payment.
The prisoner, who mid nothing, was remanded.
GUILDHALL.
W. Davidson was charged before Alderman Challis with
stealing a watch and chain, value 121., the property of W.
Martin, Esq., of Islington.
Prosecutor was looking in • shop-window in Chespside,
whoa he was accosted by a man who addressedaddressedhim, him, and
invited him to • public-house to talk over some business
upon which be wished prosecutor's advice and assistance.
Although considering it singular as a perfect stranger, he
accompanied the man to • public-house near Newgate.
He then said he had sixteen houses he wanted to
sell, and asked could prosecutor find him a purchaser, or
introduce him to a solicitor. At this juncture prisoner
came in, and said he bad jut received 6,0001. from the
Court of Chancery, and was desirous of investing it. The
first man offered his sixteen houses, and the purchase was
at once agreed to. It was then proposed to go to another
home, in Earl-street, Blackfrius, to draw the agreement,
and prosecutor was requested to accompany them to
witness it. On reaching the place they went into an up-
stairs room, and another man earns in, and they began
chalking up and betting for cigars and beer, and asked him
to partake. They then asked him to stand some, bulbs
explained that be had only twopence in his pocket. One el
the men asked the time, and on prosecutor taking out is
watch the man snatched it from him and handed it to the
prisoner, who refused to give it up,, but proposed to prose-
cutor to go with him to • pawnbroker, to put him in funds
by pledging the watch. Having his suspicious now aroma
he assented, and they left the house, he taking MO to keep
hold of prisoner tightly by the arm. As they neared Bleck-
friars-bridge • police's= was approaching, on sight of
whom the two companions went of, and prisoner slipped
the watch into prosecutor's heed with equal celerity, but he
would not let him go, and gave him into custody.
The magistrate isonsidered the was fully proved, and com-
mitted the prisoner for trial.

feloniously intermarried with Sumo ttrockwell, his first. wife
Amelia being then alive.

Marls Sommers. To one he was married as a carpenter, to
another as a collector, and to • third as a solicitor's clerk,
The primmer, it appears, is also known to the police as an
itinerant preacher and lecturer.
Thomas King, the prisoner's father, deposed that he was
meemt at the marriage of his son with Amelia Price, at
Trinity church, Paddington, on the 24th of Jun*, 1864.
Susan Brockwell deposed to being married oo the 4th of
June, 1838. She met prisoner on the 14th of January fol-
lowing after she had been compelled tojeave him, when be
said his first wife was alive when he married her. She said,
" Well. George, I want to speak to you ;" when be replied,
" And I want to speak to you." Witueas said, " I met you
with your last wife, and you knew your first wife was living
when you married me." The prisoner said the reason was, if
he bad told her so she would sot have married him.
Miss South. of 23t, ]aids-vale, deposed

went to No. 8. Conduit .place, and told the prisoner what he
was charged with. He said, " Well, it is true. I suppose
I shall get punished for it. I would sot have got married
spin only she left me. I have got a good wife, and she
knows I behave well to her ; and I shall feel much happier
when lam punished. The third wife knows lam much
attached to her, and a good husband. The fird wife went
away with the family of Mr. Archer Burton."
Prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he had nothing

and described'; a labmrer, ae Millers% Poplar and Maria
Gamine, 30, the with of a labourer, of Plaistow-, marsh, who
have been in custody three weeks, were brought up on re-
mand, charged with stealing four cheats of tea, the property
of the Victoria Dock Company, from their premises. The
hothead of the woman Cousin., for whom a reward is
offered, has absconded.
It now appeared from the evidence of Mr. Jefferies, a
wharfinger m the Victoria Dock, that when he discovered
the lOW of the chests of tea be found some of it spilt on the
ground outside the warehouse, and he followal the track
left by the tea which had escaped from the chest, and
it was by this 1136111 A that he found out where it had been
taken.
The prisoners reserved their defence, and both were coin-
' n.itted to Newgate for triaL

and good kinds sold readily at former prices. BOMA and
peas dull, with little doing.
WISBECH, FEB. B.—We are fairly supplied with grain
of all kinds at this day'. market. Vi heat meets with fair
demand at something over last week's prices, but too high
to yield a profit. Oats quite as dear, with prices in favour
of the seller. Other things about as before. The season
is remarkably fine, and the growing wheats as promising aa
can be desired. Prices to the grower :—Wheat, white,
new, Bea. to Ws., 6311:e. per bushel ; red, new, Ms. to 601.,
631 b a. per buebel. Oats. new, Ild. to Is. Od. per stone.

rates. - Barley nominally unaltered. Oats 6d. per quarter
Lower. Beans rather more inquired for for seed.

YORK, FRB. B.—Our market was by no means abundantly
supplied to-day, and the quality varied. The demand was
slow, at hat week's currencies. White descriptions were
taken at 645. to 665. ; red, 58s. to 61a. per M stone. In-
ferior ram of barley bung heavily on heed •, choice lots
were a limited show, and met a steady demand at previous
terms ; malting, 345. to 375. per quarter k grinding, 295. to
325. per 30 stone. Of oats there was a limited quantity on
offer, and the inquiry, although slow, was tolerably firm,
and samples could not be bought at lower rates, ff2s. to 21s.
per 24 stone being the ruling currencies.
KIRKCALDY, Fan. B.—The weather during the early part
of the week was open and very mild for the season of the
year. Since yesterday we have had frost, which continues
to day with a high barometer. At oar country. markets,
this week, we had very moderate quantities of gram offering.
Sales were not brisk, still there is a demand for wheat and
barley for local consumption, and we had a few speculative
buyers of cats. Here today we bad moderate supplies of
wheat and barley, but good of oats. Sales slow, at prices
rather under last week. Wheat, old and new, 425. to 58s.
per quarter ; barley, new, 255. to 31s. per quarter ; oats,
new, 20s. to 27e. per quarter.
WATERFORD, Fez B.—We have hail slightly increased
supplies of farmers' grain this week, but by boat the receipts
have been trilling. From abroad the arrivals are very
moderate, consisting of only one cargo of wheat Led one of
Indian corn. The &dooms noted in our market on this day
winnight still continues, sad the tendency of prices is
downwards. Irish wheat can only be
_disposed of by sub-
mitting to a reduction of 6d. per barrel Foreign we note
M. to 6d. per barrel cheaper with rather more inquiry.
Barley sod oats each 3d. per barrel lower. Indian corn in
better demand at a reduction of 3d. to 6d. per barrel, and
stooks begin to lessen. Flour can be had at &I. per sack learn
