COAL STEALING ON A RAlLWAY.—Jeremiah Cronin,
an audacious thief, 15 years of age, who has been in cus-
tody a great many times, and thrice summarily convicted,
was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with etc-Wing '2
cwt. of coals, the property of the North London Railway
Company.

John Grantham said—l am a night watchman in the
service of the North London Railway Company, At 7.45
last evening I was watching a coal siding at Bow
near the Lea Cut, and saw the prisoner and another boy
taking coals from the siding, and putting them on board a
barge in the Lea Cut, 25 yards off, They went backwards
and forwards four or five times. They were about to shove
the barge off to the other side of the stream, when I went
on board and attempted to secure both, one ran away. I
caught the prisoner and took him to the station-house,
There was about two cwt. of coals stolen from the siding.
Mr Partridge--How came thoy to mho uoo of the barge ?
"Wtc,...--rueir intention was to snow> cue cargo round
to the opposite bank, and than the) would have landed the
coals and got away with them. The company have been
robbed to a large extent of their coals from the sidings.
Henry Dove, a police-constable, 445 K, said the prisoner
was a daring thief, and had been convicted three times
summarily. On the first occasion he was sentenced to 21
days' imprisonment and hard labour, on the second to
three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and on the
12th of August last to two months' imprisonment and hard
labour. The prisoner had only just coma out of prison.
Mr Partridge asked the prisoner if he was guilty or not
guilty ?
The Prisoner—Guilty, sir.

Mr Partridge sentenced him to bo imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for three months, and said that conviction
would be returned to the sessions, and remembered against
him, and if any case was made out against him again he
would be committed for trial.

The supply of beasts on sale here today was moderately
extensive. the quality of the stock, however, being infe-
rior, good and prime breeds changed hands at full prices,
but inferior qualities moved off slowly, at about Monday's
currency : the top price was 5s 4d per 81b, With sheep
the market was but moderately supplied. The mutton,
trade, however, was very slow, yet no change took place in
prices compared with Monday. The primest Downs, &c.,
realised 5s 6d per 81b. The supply of calves on sale was
but moderate, yet the veal trade ruled less active, at 2d per
81b less money than on Monday. Prime small pigs were
in steady demand, at full prices. Large hogs, however,
were dull.
