THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Feances Gaze: and Ann Hall were brought before the
Lord Mayor charged with hoeing attempted to steal a dia-
mond yin of the value of 31. IN., in the shop of Mr. Borchelt,
of 69, Cheapside.
The shoproan of the prosecutor said—The prisoners came
into the shop between five and tie o'clock in the evening,
and requested to be shown a tray of pins, as they wanted to
purchas2 one or two as presents. They took up al pins,
and flail contrived while taking up one of them and hand-
ing
it to me to ascertain the price to draw away privately
the pin in question. I waited to see whether she would
return the p:u, which I distinctly saw between her fingers.
They then tried to distract my attention from the tray, and
having said that all the articles were too dear, were about
to leave the shop, when I called to a policeman. The mo-
ment 1 made the movement Hall threw back the diamond
pin she had concealed in her hand across the tray, and the
policeman appearing, I gave them into custody.
The shopman of Mesa,. Eddies and Kirby, of Cheapen's,
hosiers and glovers, said—Oatzell came to my shop last
Thursday, accompanied by a man, and asked to be shown
some black ►ilk handkerchiefs. The man contrived to spread
one of the houlkerchiefe over the pieces that lay upon the
counter, and no doubt they slipped away one or more of
them, for we missed one black piece with a golden border.
They laid out Ss. 6d. in the purchase of a satin handker-
chief for the man, and soon after they left the shop we
found that a robbery had been committed.
The prisoners were known as shoplifters by the police,
and (lateen bad lived with a notorious burglar and robber
until he was transported for life.
They were both committed.
WORSHIP-STREET. _ _

The Rev. John Godfrey Anydey, one of the curates of
Christchurch, St. George...in-the East, was brought before
Mr. D'Eyneourt upon the charge of assaulting and obstruct-
ing two police constables of the H division In the execution
of their duty.
Police-constable Hudson, 11 78, said—About 8 o'clock ea
Saturday night I was on duty near the Pavilion Theatre,
in the Whitechapel-road, when I saw several girls and boys
standing about with baskets of oranges, which coated as
obstruction on the foot pavement. he soon as they saw se
they all fell
_back into the road, and two or three oranges
having fallen out of the basket of one of the girls, I picked
them up and threw them to her. I was then proceeding
after them for the purpose of driving them away, when the
defendant hastened alter me, and, seizing hold of my arm,
struck MO a smart blow over the back with the thick end of
his walking stick, at the same time demanding what busi-
ness I had to interfere with the poor girls, who were merely
endeavouring to get an haunt living. The defendant ap-
peared greatly excited at the time, and, after telling him
that be bad no business to interfere with me in the discharge
of my duties, lat once took him into custody. On our way
to the station-house the defendant conducted himself in a
very intemperate manner, calling my brother officer a liar,
and flourished his stick in such a menacing manner that I
found it necessary to wrest it from him for self-protection.
On erni•-•--- . -.tion by the defendant the constable
-

positively denied that be hid thrown one of the girls down,
or that he abed any more violence on the occasion than was
absolutely necessary to effect her removal.
Payne, 166 H, folly corroborated the above evidence, and
added that while he was assisting the other officer to clear
the thoroughfare, the defendant suddenly seised him by the
shoulder and dragged him round by main force, declaring
at the time that he insisted upon taking his number. On
being taken into custody, the defendant announced him-
self to be a clergyman, but he exhibited so much violence
in his language and demeanour that witness was decidedly
under the impression that he was not perfectly sober.
Oeorge Teakle, anex-sergeant of polies, stated that whilst
standing at the door of the Pavilion Theatre at the time in
question, he heard an angry altercation between the ac-
cused and the first witness; the latter of whom was after-
wards proceeding towards one of the fruit women, when he
was rapidly followed by the defendant, who caught him by
the arm, with the evident intention of preventing him from
interfering with her. The defendant had a stick in his
hand at the time, but he saw no blows struck on either aide.
Inspecter Kendall stated that he received the charge at
the station-house, and while he was investigating the par-
ticulars, the defendant alleged, in extenuation of his con-
duct, that the constable bad upset the girl's oranges, but he
did not then charge him witk having assaulted her. While
he was taking down the charge, the defendant became so
noisy and obstreperous that witness came to the conclusion
that he had been drinking, but he considered it probable
that his violent manner was merely the result of exaspera-
tion and excitement.

BRIADSTOFFS.-The unfavourable aspect of the English
market, as indicated by the Arabia and Europa's advice,
to Bth inst., has caused much disappointment here, and
served to increase the former dulness of our trade in bread-
stuffs. During the past week there has been a good feeling
manifest in flour, with some firmness, and a few operations
on speculation and for export, but the closing turn of the
market 'Mee the Europa's arrival favours the buyer, with-
out however any material transactions on which to base
plum. A large portion of the usual shipping brands are
MI by speculators, and are net freely offered, consequently
crig yams may for some time be fluctuating and unsettled.
suolgoo by railroad, although not excessive, have yet
erussied the expectations of many, but a considerable per-
il= has been of the Ohio brands, that generally reach here
sin New Orleans, in February and March, but have now
arrived earlier by the opening of a new road to Buffalo.
No material reduction has taken place in our stock, and
it is now estimated at rather under 400,000 bbls. of all
kinds. For the Southern descriptions there continues to
be a brisk demand for Australia and California, and for the
past ten days tho sales have been larger than usual, but con-
fined chiefly to the higher grades. Our wheat trade has
been quite buoyant of late-stimulated by a decline in
freights and a moderate stock of prime quality with light
receipts; yesterday prices were unsettled, but the prospect-
ive want of dry samples for the English market gives
holders firmness. Indian corn, suitable for export, hes
been in request, and several shipments made of dry southern
white and yellow, the round Jersey yellow is not yet dry
enough for that purpose. Barley and oats are plenty and
dull. Rye is scarce, and held in few hands, at former rates,
with moderate demand.
The export clearances from this port for the fortnight
ending on the 21st inst. consisted of-To Liverpool : 20,878
bbls. flour, 44,933 bushel' wheat, 4,932 bushels corn. To
London : 8,295 bbls. flour, 8,547 bushels wheat. To

On being willed upon for his defence, the reverend gen-
tleman earnestly assured the magistrate that the facts of
the case as stated by the witnesses, had been grossly
exaggerated, and that a most unwarrantable aggression and
indignity had been practised towards him. At the hour in
question he was passing down the Whitschapel-road, when
be observed the ceestaale driving several poor orange girls
before him with a degree of unjustifiable and unneceuary
harshness, and immediately upon his overtaking one of them
he struck her a violent blow on the head, the force of which
instantly upset her basket and scattered her fruit about the
pavement. After remonstrating with him upon his unfeel-
ing conduct he advanced towards him for the purpose of
taking his number, when he was instantly seised by the
officer, who called another one to his assistance, and be was
forcibly taken off to the station-hones. He denied most
emphatically having assaulted either of the officers, and
with regard to the unworthy insinuation against his ebriety
he trusted that it was wholly unnecessuy for him to repel
such a disgraceful imputation.
Catherine M'Csrthy, the trait girl above referred to, was
then (salted, and stated that while she was vending her
oranges one of the policemen ran up to her and struck her
a blow on the side of the head, which caused the fruit to
roll out of her basket. The policeman then picked up her
oranges and threw them out into the road, and while he
was doing so the defendant kindly interfered for her, when
two of the constables laid hold of him and took him away
by form.
In answer to questions from the magistrate, the witness
denied that the gentleman had assaulted either of the officers,
but admitted that she herself did not fall down front the
effects of the blow she received. _ _ _

William @ant, a Custom-house officer, stated that he was
about to enter the theatre, when he saw the policeman rush
towards the last witness, and strike her two heavy blows in
rapid succession on the side of the head, which caused her
to fall forward upon her knees. Witness expressed his in-
dignation at such brutality, and the defendant, who hap-
pened to be looking on, intimated that he would take the
officer's number; but on approaching him for that purpose,
he was immediately secured, and conveyed to the station-
house.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said, that after attentively considering
the evidence, he could conic to ao other conclusion than
that the charge had been completely established. lie saw
no reason whatever to disbelieve the evidence of the officers,
who corroborated each other in every particular ; whereas
the two witnesses, who had been called for the defence, so
materially differs° in their testimony, that it was perfectly
manifest that one or both of them had committed delibe-
rate perjury. lie should therefore convict the defendant of
the assault,. and impose upon him a penalty of 205., or five
days' imprisonment.
The defendant, who appeared greatly discomposed, im-
mediately paid the fine, with an intimation that he con-
sidered he had not been justly treated, and that he should
carry the matter elsewhere.
The first half of a M. note, No. 77,862, was received from
X. for the poor-box.
MARYLEBONE. . .

John /Perm!, a labourer, was charged with having com-
mitted a murderous assault upon Bridget, his wife.
On the previous night, as Sergeant Delany, 16 I), was
passing along Oren-street, Portman.market, he was met
by a female, who told him that a man had nearly murdered
his wife at No. 16 in the street alluded to. Witness hastened
thither, and upon the flrst•floor landing he saw the poor
woman resting upon the shoulder of her sou. Blood was
flowing from her bead, and she seemed quite insensible.
Witneis lifted her up, and, on questioning her a short time
afterwards as to who bad injured her, she replied in a faint
tone of voice that it was her husband. I went into the pri-
soner's room, where I saw him sitting by the fire. I asked
him how he accounted ter the assault made by him upon
his wife, when he made answer that some words ensued
between them, and that he struck her with a small gridiron
which be happened to have in his hand. I took the woman
to St. Mary's Hospital in a cab, the prisoner accompanying
us ;" and, after I had left the woman there to receive proper
medical assistance, I conveyed the prisoner to the station-
house, the doctor having certified that he could not pro-
nounce the wife to be out of danger. I subsequently went
to the house, and there learnt from one of the prisoner's
sons that his mother was not struck with the small gridiron
spoken of, but with a heavy iron implement used by plas-
terers, and called a " server."
The poor injured woman was not in a fit condition to
come forward ; and the prisoner, who denied hating struck
his wife with the server, was remanded.
