he must conform to the laws of the country, and that I shall
line him 20s. for the assault, which will teach him that he
must not annoy Englishwomen as they pass along the street.

The Lord Mayor, before quitting the bench, at the does of
the business, adelf so Mr. Goodman sad the
other clerks, said—leave of you, gentlemen, et the
expiration of myl feel bound to express my
great satisfaction at the way in which the duties of those
around me have been discharged, and my thanks tar the very
able advice which you, Mr. Goodman, hays bean always
ready to give me, and of which I have been so often
glad to avail myself. The year has been quiet end hoe
from excitement; but in the discharge of such duties
as those which during the last twelve months I have
been called on to perform, there are always some little diffi-
culties miring in which it le at once a gratification and a
necessity to have able and cordial co-operation and advice.
That co-operation and that advice I have had here, and I
thank you for it. With regard to my year of office generally,
I may say that I have heard no one word of asperity towards
myself from anyone belonging to or connected with the cor-
poration ; and I retire from this court with the satisfactou
reflection that I have at all events endeavoured to act with
judos and impartiality.
Mr. Goodman, on behalf of himself and the other clerks,
gracefully acknowledged the mazy kindnesses and courtesies
of the Lord Mayor, who then, bowing to each, retired from
the court.

The Lard Mayor requested the press to acknowledge the
receipt, for Prances Johnston, of 21., collected et the White
Hart Hotel, Chelmsford.

BOW-STREBT.
Peter end Bliusbeth aideey, alias Chesterfield, alias Leiyht-
etan, (husband end wife), and William Eisen, aline lima
alias Bays., alias dohs, were charged with oonspiring to
obtain geode by false pretences from Mr. laird, a fermium*
dealer, in Tottenham-court-road.
Mr. Ablett a.red for the prosecution • and Mr. Lewis
(of Lewisand Lewis, Ely-place) for the defence.
Marty in October the female prisoner, who then called
herself " lira Chesterfield," drove up to Mr. Hird'a shop in
• pony chase, and gave instructions that some one should be
sent to • house in Orosvenor-road, Regent's-park, which she
had just taken, in order to look at the rooms, and consider
what furniture would be must suitable. The foreman,
Thomas Smith, accordingly attended neat day, when she
told him it would not be convenient to pay reedy money, but
she would be prepared to give one-half the amount in the
course of that mouth, sad to settle the balance on the let
or 2nd of November. He said that would do if the gave a
respectable refereace. She said her husband was a retired
maltase, from Weymouth, and she had between 4001. and
6001. • year herself. Subsequently she called at Mr. Hied's,
and selected goods to the amount of 3W., including • couch,
six chairs, 43 yards of carpeting, • chimney glair, am. She
referred to Mr. Scott, 48, Alma-street, Bottom. The foreman
called at that address, and saw the prisoner Micas, who mid
Mr. Chesterfield watt • highly respectable man, and confirmed !
the details already set forth by Mrs. Cheetarfield. The goods',
were accordingly supplied, but on the 2nd November, the
day fixed for payment, it was found that Mr. and Mrs.
Chesterfield had disappeared, and the goods with them. They
were traced to • house in the Lyndhurst-road, where Smith
celled and demanded the restoration of the goods which
Stacey refused. That night they again disappeared. On
Saturday, however, the foreman and a constable went to •
house in Copechagen-street, Caledcaian-road, found the pri-
soners there, and took them in custody on this charge. The
glass and arm chair were identified by Mr. laird se part of
the p oprty obtained hum him. Risme had obtained pos-
session of the house in Alma-street by referring to Stacey, at
• house in Dame-street, which he had taken under the name
of Leightman, referring to himself, in his real name of Shifty,
at another residence, whiff be had obtained in • similar
manner. They quitted each of these residences suddenly.
Sergeant Hervey said he had known Macey for eleven
yeses as one of a gang of swindlers.
There wire a number of tradesmen in attendance from
winos they had obtained goods on credit, which they imme-
diately disposed of.
A Solicitor stated that he was at present conducting •
charge at another court against two persons who were con- !
netted with the prisoners. He should be able to identify the
female prisoner with that charge by direct evidence, but he
feared he could not show that the men had anything to do
with it.

Mr. Lewis contended that there was nothing to conned
Stacey with any reprcatntation whatever, wiles@ the mains-
trate thought the woman wea acting under her husband's
direction. In that case she mint be discharged, otherwke,
he submitted, Stacey must be discharged.
Mr. Jardine should not come to that decision till be was
satisfied that no further evidence was forthcoming, especially
es there seemed to be several more charges against them. He
should remand all the prieoners for further examination.

WESTMINSTER.

It will be remembered that during the }request examina-
tions of Alfred Krum, slim Lowe, slUs Smith, and many
other name., charged with getting poseandon of • number
of valuable houses, it has been proved that others bare been
acting in concert with him In this nefarious transaction, and
Inspector Cummings, of the B dbririon, who has nowettarge
of this ma*, has wince the last tame the matter was Mere
this court apprehended • man who gives the name of
William Selby, a person of abort stature, and upwards
of silty years of age, whom he found in .one of
the many bonus taken by the prisoner Kruse in Basiß:=;
Bed Lien-pure. He denied that his name wee
(a perms who was general Riffle when valuable hone
were sought to be obtained), but admitted that he was on
terms of intimacy with Kruse, whom he dsertribed as life.
Smith, end said that the latter was his employer, and had
put him into the house to collect his rents for him, sad that
ha had been so employed in that house for the last Mau
mouths.

William John Milner, a letter-carrier, proved that amnia
passing as Selby had been represented by Krum to be his
llaatther•ia•law. Smith told witness that the lust time he taw
him.

Both Bram and Selby stand remanded till Wednesday
next.

MARYLEBONR.

SOON. Golimy, a decrotly.cled youth, of about 12 years
of age, wee charged with obstructing the footpath.
Constable 8134 8 said he was on duty at about 12 think
on Susday morning at the corner of the liampatsad-red,
when he sew the prisoner, sing with two other boys, with
their boxes sad brushes, on the footpath. He desired them
to move, when the primmer said b• had bed his @Lading
thee, for above two months, sod so miter policeman hod
driven him away, and ha would not go sow. Ilpois t►is he
was taken in charge.
Mr. Broughton—l suppose their boxes don't take up =oh
room ? _ _

CoMitable—People wore obliged to go into the carriage
way through them.
Mr. Phillips (chief clerk)—Yon don't take op parties
wheeling perambulators along the pavement, and yet they
take up a deal woes room than th.ve boys' boxes.
Constable—Bot they " move on."
Mr. Phillips—That don't matter. They take up as much
room. _ .

....171; Broughton—l think if ever the sense of the public
was taken on say matter, it ought to be on this. I remember
years ago, when the einem mad to be swarmed with
eager to " black year boots." The thing after Ming t iler-
totem for soma time wee dropped, bat now it hes been ra
tired again in full force.
Constable—We have revived distinct orders from our super-
intendent to take these boys in charge.
Mr. Broughton—Thies boys' boxes do not take up mesh
room ; not so much as an umbrella, or sae Wskhwomea
with her pair of milk pails. I don't understand the prin•
ciple upon which you are going ; bat this I know, that sum
of these boys are supported by some of the drat gentlemen
of the land, inch as Lad Shaftesbury and others.
Ccestabth.le—Bat they belong to the brigade, and keep off
the footpa
Mr. Broughton—That matters not. These boys most be
allowed to get a living.
A letter was here handed in to his worship, which had
been written by the boy's mother, a poor but respectably
attired widow, imploring his worship to be lenient to her son,
who, she stated, was only trying to help ter get en boatel
living.
Mr. Broughton mid he thought the boy bad been ear-
&featly punished. Yeti mid, coo/Aside, you had orders from
your sup•rintendent to lock three boys up f
Constable—Yea, sir, if they don't "keep moving."
Mr. Broughton—lf they keep moving they met black
boots. I shall discharge the boy, but Myles him to keep off
the pathway.

THE CORN TRADE.—The put month has been highly
favourable to the perms cf agricultural operations, sad
whatever advantages may result from a flue sutures
sad a good season for early wheat plea das are again likely
to he realised. Wheat: The wheat trade has bean for ths

up the strength of their flour to the quality required by the
baker. The fluctuations in value have only been alight,
sad bare p tly resulted from an occasional irregularity
in tits eapplj.At the close of the month prices war, little
altered from the point at which they stood at its com-
mencement, but with an obvious tendency towards a de-
cline. In most of the foreign ports there has been some con-
cealer In price, and consequently a nearer approximation to
rates which can be paid for the Eogliah marker, but in moat
places prices are still too high to admit of profitable exporta-
tion to this country. Arrivals off the coast have been liberal,
but owing to the restricted sale at present rates holders have
preferred to store rather than swept lower prides. The
quantity on passage from the Black Bee and Azof ports is
moderate, and the extent of importations from Baltic porn
will depend on the comparative mildness of the @won. We
see, at pretest, little reason for anticipating any matedal
alteration in the value of wheat, either English or foreign, u
farmers are not very anxious sellers at present prices, but
will portably keep the market fairly supplied. W e continue
to receive highly satisfactory reports as to the yield of the
recent crop. There appears little doubt that produotica
must have been much stimulated by the high pricer which
prevailed during the war with Buena, and having autos bad
two bountiful harvests, production bas evidently now n-
omad consumption. Barley The finer qualities of malting
barley hare continued to command nearly their former vales,
but the supply of inferior has been considerable, and prices
have declined. Moab disappointment has been expsriencei
respecting the quality and condition of some of the
foreign arrival., sad the result will probably te
that the beet qualities of our own growth we
ooetinue in demand at good pekoe. Grinding barley,
chiefly from the Danube and Black Bea, is pleattfal,
and has declined about 2. per quarter during the mos&
Oats :—The large receipt of one, both foreign and Irish, sal
the heavy stocks now accumulating, have had the elkot
bringing down prices from 2a. to Ss. per quarter, with et
present prospect of any early reaction. Toe stock hen h
about doable the quantity it was at this time last year, bag
now over 90,000 quarters. .Beans were relatively so MCI
higher than any other grain that the deline of Se. tots:
quarter is no matter of surprise. Foreign arrivals are
large, bat the consumption is limited, and the tendon el
price is downward.—(From Messrs. W. C. Lucy and WI
Woathly Circular.)
