CLEILKILNWELL.
Timothy R,,;.. s
cribedrews, aged 48, a rough-looking,
powerful fellow, des as a seaman, of no home or ocou-
VDwas charged with being drunk and violently asnanlt-
's' wife, at her residence, I, Norway-street, fit. Luke's.
r. %hang, in opening the case, said that the oomplain-
ant had been married to the defendant about thirteen years,
and she now had me boy alive, who was ten yens of age.
After they hid been married about four years the defendant,
without eny cause assigned, left her, and went to America,
taking with him everything he could lay his hands open.
The wife supported herself, and had got together a comfort-
able bum, triton, after an absence of eighteen months, he
retained in the most deplorable plight, and because the
wife refund to support him be took out a pair of
tols and threatened to shoot her. He again went away, and
nothing more was heard of him until about a fortnight after
Chrisnass, when he called at the oompLatuun's house, and,
on her again refusing to take biro, swore that he would have
her life before the next day was out. She then took out a
summons at this court; but, owing to the defendant getting
out of the way, the dither could not effect the service. On
Saturday night last, about. half-past the complainant
was at home, when the defendant went to her hones, taking
with him a man and woman. When the complainant maw
the defendant, she told him to go about his bantam when
he said, "So you have had a warrant for me F' Com-
plainant said she had, and should be obliged to have another
unless he kept from annoying her. He then again threatened
her; and upon her attempting to pass into the next house
for protection, the man who was with the defendant struck
her a violent blow, and the defendant fuliowed it up by
striking her two very severe blows in the face and eyes.
Both men then ran away, but the prisoner was apprehended
and locked up. He (Mr. Wakeling) was instructed to my
that all the wife wanted was for her husband to keep away
from her, and for her property to be protected.
The prisoner in defense- said he was sorry he had struck
his wile, and hoped that his worship would be u lenient
with him as possible. He was engaged on board a vessel
QM wee to sail that afternoon for -Adelaide, and he would
arm trouble his wife again.
Mr. Carrie said there could be little doubt, now that the
new act was in operation, that there would be many similar
applications to that made by Mr. Wakeling. The question
in Silicas, was, what would be the beet course for him to
adopt for the benefit of the wife. He had power to send the
prisoner to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for
six calendar months; but as the prisoner was about leading
the country, he would not adopt that course. He should
sentence the prisoner to two months in the House of Cor-
rection, but would not at present tame his warrant, so that
the prisoner could go about his business ; but if he wee
found near his wife's residence for the purpose of annoying
her, he would be forthwith conveyed to prison. He thought
that would protect the wife and hernrty.
The prisoner, who seemed phoned with the decision, left
the court, saying ho hoped the ship would mil as soon as he
boarded,

THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
(Fromthe Mark-Ism Ivrea.)

The euy elite of the money market has improved bade
slightly in Inset parts cf the north of Enrope, and although
the deliveries from the farmers have increased prices of
wheat are rather higher, present shipments cannot be made,
and the business will mostly be for delivery in 'prim. In
the Dutch market' priors are about supported for good qua.
Mies of wheat.

The French markets remain dull and depressed for both
wheat and flour , for the former article a government con-
temn bad been advertised at Perie Sodas extant 01 about 6,000
quintals, and the tenders for such actually amounted to
88,600 quintals, showing the opinion of the narachante sa to
the trade In that country for the future. Another fact indi-
cative of opinion was the ask of 1,000 sacks Lorraine flour
for delivery in five months from March from one merchant to
another at 391. per sack of 159 kilos., whiha at present the
same quality is worth about 491. Orders from England do not
arrive out to any extent for this oracle, and pricte there are
painting down.
In the United States the receipts of cereal continued to
be pretty liberal and demand moderate; prices of flour gave
way. Wasters Canal and State raped= breads were
oted at about 18a. to 18a. 2d. per barrel, extra 18e. 9d. to
Indiana extra, 20s. 2d. to 22a. 11d. per barrel ; fancies
and high extras, 25e. to 31e. 3d.and 36e. sd. per barrel.
Wheat was much the same as previously—Southern white,
4e. fitd. to As. sd. par 6016. ; Southern red, 4e. 7d. to se. per
