MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were moderate. Both for red and white qua-
lities the demand, however, ruled inactive, yet no change
took place in prices compared with Monday.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
large. The inquiry was, however, by no means active, at
previous quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
Malting barley sold steadily, and fine samples were fully
as dear as on Monday. Grinding and distilling qualities
were in slow request at late prices.
The malt trade was quiet, on former terms.
The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. For all
qualities the demand was much restricted, yet prices ruled
stationary.

Beans were a dull inquiry, at the late decline in prices.
Peas sold slowly, at Monday's currency.

In flour, about an average business was transacted, al
late rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RIOTOUS CONDUCT —UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION
AGAINST A CONSTABLE,—Three young men, named
George Tomlinson, William Tomlinson, and George Bunch
were charged before MrKnox—the first two with disorderly
conduct and assaulting a constable—and the last Lamed
with attempting to rescue one of the others.

Isaac Wilson, 27 E, deposed that about a quarter to 12
at night he was called to the Oak public-house, Tottenham-
street, to assist in putting the prisoners out in consequence
of their disorderly conduct. He found the prisoners all
drunk, and making a great noise. On their being put out
of the house the prisoner, George Tomlinson, caught hold
of his leg and threw him down, and while on the ground
the prisoner, William Tomlinson, kicked him in the face,
and then about the body, and then ran away. Bunch then
tried to get George Tomlinson away.
In answer to Mr. Knox the constable said the prisoners
had been fighting in the house.

William Tomlinson said he did tot kick the constable.

Wm. Hayward, 30 E, said he saw Wilson struggling with
the prisoner George Tornlins.,n,
and William Tomlinson go
up and kick him in the side, and then run away. He pur-
sued him and brought him back, and they were then sur-
rounded by a mob of rough fellows who had just left the
Queen's Theatre. They then took all the prisoners, who
were drunk, to the station.

➢ir. Knox, observing that William Tomlinson had a
black and bruised eye, asked him how he came by it.
The prisoner William said the constable struck him with
his staff. •

Both constables denied that any staff was used, and said
hey were told that it was done while fighting in the pub-

is -house.

The prisoner William again said he was struck with a
staff smothered with blood, and said he told the constable at
the time that he had struck him.
Both constables said this was entirely false.
Mr. Knox ordered the case to stand over, and directed a
sergeant to go to the public-house and fetch the person who
was serving at the time when the disturbance took place,
and any other witnesses, so that the matter should be fully
investigated.
On the case being resumed, Jane Holloway, the barmaid
at the Oak publichouse, Tottenham-street, said the prisoners
and others came into the house end behavekin such an un-
rulymtaunrnneerdthoant she refused
and got tosog at the till, A fightry sere© then. One of the
party
then took place, the Tomlinsona behaving very roughly.
Bunch did not do anything.
Mr. Knox asked the young woman how William Tomlin-
son came by the injuries on his face, and she said it was
done in a fight he had with a young man who was in court.
William Richards, a young man,
said that William Tom-
linson attacked him, and he retaliated; and in the fight he
bruised the prisoner's face as it appeased.
Mr. Knox observed that under the circumstances he
could not blame the witness.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witnesses Holloway and
Richards said they saw no staff used.
. The sergeant sail he had made inquiries, and believed
that Bunch's object was not to oppose, the police, but to
assist them.
Mr. Knox disehaiged Bunch, and remarked that he did
not like what had been said respecting the taps and the till.
He considered the conduct of WilliamTomlinson especially
bad, as he had made a false charge against the constable of
having struck him with his staff. He would commit the
Tomlinsons for a month each.

THAMES•

A MOST ARTFUL THIEF--John Donovan, an active
young man, and described as a labourer, of Queen-street,
Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
stealing six pairs of sea boots.
Hymen Behill, shopman to an outfitter, of 12, Jamaica-
terrace, said that he heard a lot of boots fall down on the
pavement at the door.
Mr. Partridge—Yes, they were outside the shop. You
have no business to expose goods in that way. It holds out
a temptation to thieves.
Witness—A boy called out thieves. I ran after the thief.
He dropped five pairs of boots on the footpath. He ran
away with the others. He could not take the lot. They
were all tied in a row. Another " gent." stopped him.
When I got back to the shop a neighbour restored me five
pairs boots. He picked them up in the street.
William Robinson, a carpenter, of 12, St. Ann's. road,
Limehouse, said at 10 minutes to 8 last night he was com-
ing along the West India-road. The prisoner was coming
in an opposite direction. The prisoner, who had a white
jacket on, turned into a side street. He pursued him, and
as he turned the corner of a street he stumbled over a jacket,
and looking about saw the prisoner on the other side of the
way walking along in a most deliberate manner. He ran
across the road and seized the prisoner, who affected great
astonishment, and said " What do you want with me." A
new pair of boots were found on the pavement near the
jacket which the prisoner was now wearing.
Michael Halton, a police-sergeant, 26 K, stated that he
saw the prisoner struggling violently with the two last
witnesses, and that directly he was secured he pretended to
be very drunk.
The prisoner in defence said he never put his hand near
the boots. He was drinking at a public-house, and hearing
a cry of " Stop thief," he went our to see what was the
matter.
Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Mien, aged 18, a well-
known thief, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with stealing a silver watch from the person of Eric Luker.
The prosecutor is a Finland sailor, He was examined
through the medium of an interpreter, and said he was
staying at the Sailors' Home in WeL-street. He was in a
grog-shop yesterday evening and saw the prisoner there
and treated him. Soon afterwards be was walking along
the street in company with two girls, and the prisoner
came up to him and grabbed his watch.
Mr. Partridge (to the interpreter)—Ask him how his
watch was grabbed ?
The question was put, and the answer was, that the pri-
soner made a snatch at the watch, took it from his waist-
coat pocket, broke it from the guard, and ran away with it.
Robert Payne, a police-constable, No. 198 If, received
information yesterday evening that the prisoner had stolen
a watch from a sailor. He saw the prisoner in a crowd in
Backchurch-lane, St. Get:age .in-the. East, at half-past 9
o'clock, and took him into custody. lie told him the charge,
and the prisoner laughed. On the way to the station-house
the prisoner said " I'll make that Julia Ann repent for
this ; she has pinched (informed) against me." That was
the girl who went to the station-house with the foreign
sailor and gave information of the robbery. He had not
mentioned the girl's name to the prisoner.
Mr. Partridge—Do you know the prisoner ?
Payne--I know him well, sir. He was formerly a shoe-
black. He has been convicted several times for felony.
He belongs to a regular gang of thieves.
Mr. Partridge—l shall commit the prisoner for trial, At
present I will remand the prisoner until to-morrow, and you
must bring " Julia Ann," who was with the sailor when he
was robbed of his watch, and other witnesses here. Com-
plete the depositions as far as possible, Mr. Bowdler.
The prisoner was then remanded.

SUSPICIOUS CASE.—The North British Mail
says :—" A case of a very suspicious character has
been the subject of investigation by the police on the south
side of the river during the two bygone days. It is one in
which it is feared foul means have been successfully brought
into play to deprive a fellow-creature of life. About six
o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, two or three boys called
the attention of a constable to the fact that on looking
through the window of an empty house on the ground fiat
at 71, Crown-street, Glasgow, they had
theseen a
m
the fluor, apparently drunk or asleep, and that on trying to
open the door of the room they had found it locked. The
constable at once, accompanied by boys, proceeded
the house, and, after some little delay, gained admission.
rne lying
eded on
to
On entering the apartment he found that the man was dead
Several of the neighbours, on being questioned as to whether
they knew anything of the circumstances attending the
man's death, stated that on Monday
night, between 11 and
12 o'clock, they had seen a man who they understood had
company with a female,
with whom they said ha was in the habit of associating.
They further said that about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning
just "taken" the house, enter it
thgy heard cries or groans proceeding from the house, as if
some person were being strangled or suffocated. No one
seems to have thought it pi oper to interfere at the moment.
The female was seen to leave the premises a little before
six o'clock in the morning, and she was afterwards ob.
served to return at nine o'clock, and look through the win-
dow. She did not enter the house, but went away im-
mediately. Whenever information of the finding of the
body reached the Southern Police-office, Dr. Dunlop
was immediately sent for, and that gentleman visited the
house. He cottcludedtthat deceased had been dead about
twelve hours, and on examination he found several marks
or indications of violence about the throat, neck, and face;
and the general appearance of the body was such as to lead
to the conviction that death had been caused by strangula-
tion. The body was conveyed to the police• office, and
placed in the dead house. Dr. Dunlop then made a second
and more minute scrutiny of deceased's person, and disco-
vered additional marks of violence on the breast. The
police then set about making inquiries as to the identity of
deceased, when it was discovered that his name was Edward
Dooly, that he was 40 years of age, a labourer in M'Laren's
Engineworks, Rose-street, and resided with his wite and
family, at 11, Pollockshaws-road. He left his home about
eleven o'clock on Monday night, stating to his wife that he
had to go and assist a man to repair a furnace in M‘Laren's
work, which statement has since been ascertained to be un-
true. The female in whose company deceased was seen is
named Alice Cowan or Thomson, and she is about 31 years
of age. She has been separated from her husband for about
eight years, and is alleged to have been associating with de-
ceased for the last 12 months. She was apprehended on
Tuesday night in a house in William.street, Coweaddens.
Her statements up to the present time have been very con-
tradictory, and at first she denied having been near the
house in Crown-street since eleven. o'clock on Monday
evening. On Wednesday a post mortenz examination of the
body was made by Dr. G. H. B. Macleod and Dr. Dunlop,
and although the precise result has not transpired, we be-
lieyeit is such as will warrant its being made the basis of a
criminal prosecution.
