Company, was charged with attempting to pawn a hand-
some volume of Sir Walter Scott's works, the property of
the directors and others of the Great Western Railway

Compare y.
John Walker, assistant to Mr. Dobree, pawnbroker, Gil-
bert-street, stated that the prisoner offered the book in
pledge. Witness having noticed the initials G. W. R.' on
the cover, and that an erasure had been made on the fly.
I•af, was induced to put some questions to him, which
not being answered in a satisfactory manner, witness was
induced to call in a police constable and to give him into
custody. The prisoner told him the property was his own,
and he had plenty more volumes of the same sort at home.
Arthur Carter said be was clerk in the servic6 of I
Great Western Company, and also Librarian to the Lite-
rary Society of the Great Western Railway Company.
The prisoner was a member of the society, and paid a
yearly subscription for the privilege of having the works.
13y the rules the directors were proprietors of the library,
The prisoner had received the book on Saturday from the
library, and he would have had to return it within twenty-
one days. The name and arms of the company were on
the book when delivered to the prisoner. They had since
been effaced.
A professional person, who attended for the prisoner, con-
tended that the prisoner was a partner in the concern, and
that he had a property in the book.
Mr. Carter said the property of the books was vested in
the directors. No power was given to a servant to pledge

anything.
Superintendent Collard said a great number of duplicates
of coats was found in the prisoner's possession. One of the
duplicates related to a coat stolen from the company's
premises.
Mr. Ilardwick decided upon remanding the prisoner until
Friday, to give time to the police to see if any more of the
duplicates related to stolen property.

COTTON.—LivattpooL, JAN. 10.—The market closed
heavily but steadily, with a good deal offering, though
without any change in Friday's rates. The accounts from
the United States, per Africa, throw little or no light upon
the extent of the crop. The receipts at the American ports
continue large, and prices decline. Sea islands had fallen
4to 5 cents. The sales to-day are estimated at 5,000 bales
(inelusiee of 500 American taken for export), and comprise
4,000 American. 220 Perinea and Maranham, 6td. to 61d. ;

CATTLE.—CoLssatti, (W.vatwicKeHlaz) FAIR, Jan.
B.—There were about 800 head of store Bouts at this fair,
consisting of short-horns and Devons, and the great demand
caused a brisk trade among them at from 111. to 131. per
head for short-horns, and 101. to 12/. for Devens, all being
sold in a very short time. Barreners of any age or quality
were also easily sold, the average prices being fully 3s. per
stone. Milking Cows and in-calvers are looking up both
in prices and demand. There were but few Sheep, which
sold without difficulty, at full prices. Cart colts and good
Bowe sold freely at high prices. The store Pigs were
scarce, and the demand being great, prices went up from
Is. to 2s. per head. Small Calves, for suckling, 18s. to 225.
each. Good Cow Calves for weaning, 225. to 28s. each.
