THE MAN WITH SIX SHIRTS.—Henry Muller, a Ger-
man, who was said to very strongly resemble his namesake,
Rho is charged with murdering Mr Briggs, was brought
before Mr Selfe (presiding for Mr Partridge), charged with
stealing three new flannel shirts, two flannel drawers, a red
shirt, a pair of stockings, and other articles, the property
of some person unknown.
Adolphus Clarke, a constable in the service of the East
and West India Dock Company, stated that yesterday
evening he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the South
West India Dock, and observing he was very bulky, took
him into a box and stripped him. Ho took from the pri-
soner three new flannel shirts, an old red shirt, two flannel
drawers, one pair new, the other old, a pair of stockings
new, and other articles.
Self..—How did he carry the property ?
Clarke—He was wearing the whole of them under his
own clothes. He had on six shirts—he has two on now,
which I believe are his own. _ _ _

Mr Selfe—Six shirts and three pairs of drawers. The
wind was from the east yesterday, 1 believe. (A. laugh.)

Clarke-1 believe it was, sir.

The prisoner, in defeace, said he bought all the articles
taken from him of a German sailor on Wednesday night,
and gave him 168 for them, besides 10d he spent upon him
in beer. The sailor was to;give him the money back again
if he could, and he was to keep the goods until the sailor
could find the money. Yesterday he put on all the shirts,
drawers and stockings, and went in search of the sailor.
Mr Selfe—Who is he ?
The prisoner—l don't know, mine lord; it's all quite
true what I say,
Mr Selfe remanded the prisoner until Monday next.
Clarke—lt is no use remanding
him, your worship,
there are no marks on the things. He commits these rob-
beries on sailors just as vessels are going out. The things
have been taken from an outward bounder. He has com-
mitted several of these robberies before--once in the Lon •
don Dock, twice in our dock, and once in the Victoria
Dock, and has been repeatedly committed to prison.
Mr Selfe—l know him well; he has been before me in
this court when I was a magistrate here.
The Prisoner Only once, mine lord, I have been' before
you. I will give the sailor all the money when he comes
back—all the money.
Mr Selfe—l dare say you will when he comes back. I
believe you stole that property, and I shall sentence you to
two months' imprisDnment and hard labour for the unlawful
possession of the property,
The Prisoner—What am Itodo ? Where is the pro-
perty to go ? The sailor will come back and want his pro-
perty, and what am I to do, mine lord ?
Selfe—The constable will take possession of the pro-
perty. Sold the sailor to him. (Laughter.)

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were but moderate. For all qualities the
trade ruled firm, and although sales progressed slowly,
Monday's prices were steadily supported.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The amount of business transacted was but mode•
rate; nevertheless, the quotations are unaltered from Mon-
day.
Floating cargoes of grain :moved ;off slowly at about
stationary prices.
With barley the market was moderately supplied. Good
and fine malting qualities moved off steadily at full quota-
tions, Secondary and inferior descriptions of barley, how-
ever, met a slow sale, at the late decline in the currency.
The malt trade was dull, at the recent fall in prices,
There was a large supply of oats on sale, and the trade
ruled inactive, at about previous rates.
Beans and peas were in slow request, at late quotations.
The flour trade was quiet, on former terms.
