THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Ames Rogers, a master baker, carrying on business
in Goldsmith's-plaer, Hackney-road, was brought up on a
warrant before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charred with having
cruelly ill-treated and seri .usly injured Elisabeth Ryan, a
young woman with whom he cohabited.
It appeared from the evidence of complainant, who was
in a state of pregnancy, that she bad been living for the
last ten years with the defendant, by whom she had a
family of three children, and he had repeatedly subjected
her to the most cruel treatment during that period. On the
afternoon of Thursday ee'nnight she requested his permis-
sion to psoc ed on a visit to her sister, who was in • dying
state, and, having been coarsely answered by the defendant
that she might go to —, if she pleated, she ventured
to leave the house, having previously obtained the
services of a female friend to superintend the business
during her absence. On her return in tt.e evening, the do.
feudant refused to admit her into the house, but ultimatety
opera d the door, and, the instant she entered the shop, be
struck her • terribie blow on the side of the bead, which
felled her to the Boor. Before she could recover her feet,
the defendant Bung himself upon her, and, kneelii gon
her stomach, struck her with all his force about the head
and fate. He then commenced kicking her in a savage
manner about the lower part of her person, until be was
disturbed by a loud knocking at the door, and having
hastily left her, she availed herself of the opportunity to re-
treat into the parlour, but was speedily followed by the
defendant, who resumed the attack with increased severity.
The complainant added that she had been sada confined to
her bed, under the tare of a surgeon, and was still in a
state of extreme personal suffering from the injuries she
had received.__

Mr. John Chambers, a rurgeon in Trafalgar-place, Hark.
ney-road, stated that on the morning of Fnday sennight
he wu called in to attend the complainant, who was con
fined to her bed, and suffering from great soreness and is-
' Animation in different parts of her head, which were eel-
denilv orvasioned by excessive external violence. The
complainant, was about three months advanced in preg-
nancy, and on examining her person he found that her
legs exhibited several 'even bruises, which •'tended to
her stomach. He had known cansplaisant for the last 12
menthe, and always considered her a well-cundacted per-
ms.

Is answer to the charge, the defendant said that, so for
from deserving the good character she had received, the
complainant was not only an inveterate drunkard, but a
woman of the most violent and ungovernable temper; and,
in support of that statement, he called two witnesses, who
deposed, that subsequently to her taking out the warrant,
they were present at the shop of one of the defendant's
neighbours, when she commenced an attack upon him
with an umbrella, and struck him several times, without
any apparent provocation.
Mr. D'Eyscont severely commented upon the brutal
nature of the outrage, and raid that it was only in consider-
ation of his children that he abstained from sentencing him
to the full term of six months' imprisonment, without
the imposition of a fine ; but, under all the circumstances,
he should order him to pay the extrema penalty of 2W. or
to be committed for four months to the House of Correc-
tion, and should also rennin him to finCtwo sureties, to be
answerable for his good behaviour for the further term of
six months.
_ _

The defeadaat immediately paid the penalty, and the re-
quired sureties having been put in, he was released from
custody.

s►t-square, wee brought from the indulger, of Marylebone

self whilst in $ state of intoxication.

T. Owens, a cab driver, badge 11,564, appeared to a sum-
mons charging him with having demanded more than his
legal fare of Mr. George Henry Drew, solicitor, of Paths-
meat-street, and with other misbehaviour.
On the 12th inst. Mr. Drew sent fora eab from Palace-
yard, and proceeded from his house, 28, Parliament-street,
to the South Western Railway Statioa, Waterloo-road.
There were three grown persons and a child in the vehicle,
with two portaaaateaue on the roof. He had asked the
cabman his fare, but he would not tell ; and when he got to
the station he gave him half- a-erown, and asked him for his
change, and the defendant, in reply, asked him What
change he expected out of such a sum as that i" Mr. Drew
replied, A shilling." On which, fiodiag he was anxious
to get into the station to NM the train, the defendant said
Is. Gd. war not his fare, and he would prefer going to the
nearest police office to have it settled. Complainant was
about to eater the station, when the defendant placed him-
self before him, and prevented hie progress. Complainant
them appealed to a poileasas oar duty, and he advised him
to pay defendant what he demanded and summon him.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said his first im-
pression was that his fare was le. 10d.
On referring to the list of distaarea, the distance was
found to be within one mile, and the magistrate, having
commented on the defendant's artful and reprehensible eon-
duet, said, had there been a previous conviction marked on
hie license, be should have committed him to prison. He
was fined 30a.

box with him, and it fell on the ground. The prisoner
i asked a female and • man who were passing to help him to

prisoner made off with it. The driver of the cab returned
in about ten minutes, making anxious inquiries about the
box, and he told him what he had seen.
Mr. Yardley asked the witness if it would have been
' contrary to military discipline and the regulations of the
army to have stopped the prisoner when he was going away

anmptiee demand. Fine Eoglish Beans dearer, and some
new realised 40s. per qr., but higher prices could not be
obtsintd far Egyptian. Peas sold at farmer prices.
Yuan., Aug. 27.—H aaaaa t in this neighbourhood has
become gtuersl, bat the weather having become unsettled,
has put a stop to reaping. To-day is very wet, and the
farmers arc asking very high prices for old Wheat, which
has checked business ; however, we quota an advance of
fully fn. T.er qr. over last week's rates. Little Oats or Bar-
ley showing, and we do not alter late quotations. Flour 51.
per sack higher. The following are the present prices:

KIIIKCALDT, Aug. 27.—The weather during the earl
part of the week was dry and favourable for harvest, which
the* began in all the earlier parts of the county. We had
slight hoar frost on the moruings of Tuesday, 'Wednesday,
and Thursday ; on Thursday almost incessant rain and it
fell in torrents on Friday morning. We have ttill occa-
sional heavy showers, and the barometer is very low, with
the wind teem N.E As might have been expected, the
winter Wheat, where cut, bulks poorly ; quality pretty fair.
Oats very good in every respect, but we must confess to
being disappointed with the cutting up of the Barley crop ;
the yield per acre promised to be very lugs ; there will
still be above an average produce per acre, but we must
pronounce it one sixth short of what was expected a few
weeks ago. Potatoes, under the influence of favourable
weather, have of late been growing well, sufferieg Irom the
old disease only very partially ; the present weather, how.
ever, is very unfavourable for them, and a continuance of
it would, in all prubabili'y, develope it generally. At our
country markets this week, we had almost no Wheat offer-
ing, farmers preferriag to wait the result of the present ex-
citement in the markets. A good many Oats offering,
which were taken off at last week's rates. Neither Barley
nor Beans offering. Here to day, we had a good supply of
Wheit, which sold quickly at an advance of 3s. per qr. on
last week's rates; email supply of Oats, which sold at Is.
per quarter higher; only two small parcels of old Bartel;
no new at market. Wheat, 335. to 625. per qr. ; Barley,
31e. 6d. to 325. ; Oats, 21s. 64. to 235. Oatmeal, per bag
of 2Solbs., 31s. to 325.
WATERFORD, Ass;. 27.—The weather this week has con-
tinued very unfavourable for harvest operations, and only a
small quantity of Oats has been cut, though the bulk of be
crop is now ready for the sickle; a few fields of esrly Wheat
have been reaped, and the quality is well spoken of. Our
arrivals of foreigu grain, since Saturday last, are limited to
one cargo of Wheat, and one of Indian Corn. The small-
ness of the import, added to the stimulating accounts re-
ceived from all the English markets, has given great ani-
mation to the trade here. In foreign Whee. a large busi-
ness has been done, at an advance of fully 3s. per barrel ;
and prepared Irish is held lur a similar improvement. In-
dian Corn : The consumptive demand has been small, but
considerable par-h. sea were made on English account dur-
ing the week, and holders now refuse to sell, excert at so
advance of 6d. per barrel, which buyers pay very reluct-
antly. The quantity of new Oats at market continues li-
mited, and salters have no difficulty in readaiag full prices.
Flour d by 2s. per sack. Imports this week: Wheat,
1,400 qrs.; Indian Coro, 1,100. Exports this week: Wheat,
220 barrels ; Barley, 188 ; Oats, 5,317; Flour, 565 sacks ;
Indian Coro, 2,132 barrels; Oatmeal, 448 cuts.
