THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

---
A middle-aged man, wearing moustache and beard,
named William Cranbrook Wood, was brought before
Sir R. W. Carden, in the custody of Smart, a de-
tective officer, charged with embeunug a considerable sum
of money belonging to his employers, Meese. James Allan
and Ca, wholesale straw hat manufacturers, Cheapside.
Mr. Lawrence, a solicitor, appeared to support the prose-
cution ; Mr. Wontner, jun., attended for the prisoner.
The case was only partly gone into, sufficient evidence
merely being given to justify the magistrate in remanding
the prisoner.
Mr. John French, the prosecutor's cashier, deposed that
the prisoner was in the service of the firm as clerk and col-
lector, and it was his duty to pay over to him all the money
he received on the same day he received it. Re had ascer-
tained that on the 18th of May the prisoner received a sum
of 151. from Messrs. Dowd and Co., and he had not
accounted for that sum, and there was no entry of it in the
books.

Mr. Lawrence said he had several other oases apish the
',howler, but the whole of the necessary witnesaea were not
in attendance, and he therefore asked for a remand.
Mr. Wontner said he could not resist the apphcatiou, and
the prisoner was therefore ordered to he rem►nded.

Smote Saroicon, an unfortunate, was brougbt before
Mr. Rolfe, charged with attempting to commit eelf-de-
struction.

The wretched prisoner, titonglivoung, presented the ap•
pesranoe of an old woman, and careworn. She has r
made repeated attempts on r life while labouring under
intoxication, and has thrown herself into the river, the
'a b Canal, and other waters, and also hung herself,
adempted strangulation in the police cells, and cells of
the mart, while under remand. She has given an immense
deal at trouble to the police, and they have been
order the necessity of closely watching her on the many
meadow she has been in custody to prevent her committing
suicide. _ _

William Gluing, • police-constable, said that he found the
prisoner on the previous night in a shed in Poplar. She was
very drunk, and covered over with wet sacks. She said the
bad thrown herself from the window of a room three storeys
high. He procured • stretcher, to which she was strapped
and conveyed to the station-house.
George Pullen, 161 IC, said it was quite trim that on
Taireday last the prisoner either fell or threw herself from
the window of a horse three storeys high. Her fall was
broken by • shed. She rolled over it, and was fearfully
braised. She was taken to an hospital, and her wounds
and bruises were dressai. Next day she came home. On
Thursday the became helplessly drunk, and was carried into
a shed and covered with sacks. Durieg the night he visited
her in the cell ; she was nearly strangled. A cord was
round her neck, fastened tightly, and the other end of it
made fast to a bench. She was Trite black in the lice, and
he bad some difficulty in recovering her.
Rothe, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had given
him a good deal of trouble. He was obliged to witch her
closely whenever she was in custody.
The prisoner, who was labouring under delirium tremens,
made no defence. She was in a low dected state.
Mr. Salta said the case was • fearful one. He
"&
thought the prisoner ought to be treated as • lunatic,al
Lls_t_u_nder restraint for the remainder of her life. The
r was en incorrigible and disorderly prostitute and
prisoner was en inonrrigllle and disorderly prostitute sad
drunkard, • perfect nuisance to society. Bad as she wAte
wouldsave her if he could. He would keep her in i
for six months, and the only way to do so was to order her
to find one surety in the sum of 201. to be of good behaviosrr
sod keep the peace for the next six months. No one would
be ball, and she would be detained, in default of finding
bail, for six months in the House of Detention, Clerken-
well, where she would receive spiritual instruction from the
chaplain of the priers.

o°, the Maaritios.—No ilrlorn of surer the proem
of the East ladies.

BRUSTOL, Brrr. 21.—Our market bas become exceedingly
flat for all kinds of supra, and the few sales made barely
mipport late rates. Refined sugars are also dull of sale, and
prices (kL to is. lower. Emus quiet, without alteratiou
it value.

COTTON.—Lrrmiroox, Bgrr. 21.—There has been rather
less doing by the trade this week, but the demand from
speculators continues extensive, principally it is sup-
posed on American account; the supply on sale is
still liberal, and last week's quotations are resumed
for all descriptions of American. Brasil has been
in limited demand, and prices are unchanged. Them
has been a fair demand for Egyptian, which holders
meet freely. Surat have been less inquired for, and barely
support last week's quotations. Speculators have taken
13,880 American and 1,020 Sund ; and there are reported
for export, 2,880 American, 100 Pertain, 50 Egyptian, and
3,550 Surat. The demand this morning is moderate, and
the sales may not exceed 8,000 bales, el which 2,000 are on
vermillion and export.

COTTON GOODS. MAxantrnat, Sin. 21. The
market continues quiet in clothe for India, but for other
quarters a fair business has been done, the demand being of
a pretty general character. The business has run prin-
cipally upon the better kinds of T cloths and narrow
printers. For domestics and 36 inch shirtings there has
been less inquiry than last week. Prices are steady. For
yarns the demand is fair, though not active. The prin-
cipal business has been in warps and cops for home manu-
facturers, the medium counts of warps being in very fair
request. For export the chief business has been in 16's to
32 s water twist for China ; but there is also some demand
for the Mediterranean, and the Germans are buying mode-
rately. For East India mule yarn there has not been much
inquiry. _ _

CORN.--Clieusseono, Scrr. 21.—The supply of wheat
was moderate to-day at market, mostly of the new crop,
which was very poor in condition; such qualities sold slowly
at last week's rates, but best dry samples and old were
taken freely at 2a. advance ; the yield is worse 'Token of
may.
New red, 425. to 60s. ; white, 48s. to 63a. ; old,
to 68a.

LINCOLN, SIFT. 21.—We have had a moderate supply
of wheat which consisted chiefly of the new crop. The
quality and condition of the new to-day is anything but
tine, and judging from what has hitherto come to hand, it
is evident we shall be considerably below an average in both
respects. The report. as to yield are also very unsatisfac-
tory. There has been a small supply of barley of fair
nullity. Wheat, red, new, 56e. to ; old, 645. ; white,
new, 665. to 62a. ; old, 69a. Barley, ifs. to 43e.

Livkarool., 13Qr. 2L—We had only a moderate atten-
dance of miller and dealers at our Corn Exchange this morn-
ing, and the business pairing was not extensive. Wheat
was in plentiful supply, and some of the new American sur-

were not willing to pay the advance. Oats are Id. per

market closes steady, but without activity.
