SECOND COURT.

(Before Mr. WITHAM, Deputy-Assistant Judge.)
Catherine Eleanor Sloman, 18, was indicted for stemling
the sum of 11. 17e. 6d., and a handkerchief, the property
and monies of Elizabeth Amelia Ettl'emote, from her
person.
_ .

. -
The jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced
to imprisonment, with bard labour, for six calendar
months,

Jane Holland, 30, was indicted for having stolen
twenty-six dishes, the property of Abraham Davis, an
earthenware dealer, of Tottenham-cour-road.
The case was very clearly proved, and the prisoner
was found Guilty. Br-ing an old offend-r,
The DEPUTY-ASSISTANT JUDGE sentenced the pri-
soner to be kept to bard labour for twelve calendar
months, and added, " If you come here again, most likely
you will be transported."
The prisoner—Transport me! Oh, I dare say ycou'l
do great, things. Transport me, indeed!
She was then removed to the cell.

POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Two women, named Martha Smith and Mary Jones,
were charged with having robbed a man at 12 o'clock at
night in Akigate.
The prisoners, who have been long known as hawkers
of fruit about the Royal Exchange, pretended to be
drunk, and one of them pretended to support herself
from falling by catching the prosecutor by the arms and
holding him fast, while the other slipped her hand into
his pockets and took out his money. They contrived to
escape at the moment, but were afterwards apprehended,
each of them having half of the property of which the
prosecutor had been plundered. When the prosecutor
addressed them, just before they were taken into custody,
they restored to him the halfpence they had taken, but
although one of them advised her comrade to give him
up the whole and escape imprisonment and disgrace,
the proposal was refused, and the chance of impunity
was risked fora few shillings.

The LORD MAYOR sentenced each of the prisoners to
be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months.
The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would ac-
knowledge the receipt of ss. in postage stamps from
E. B. for the foreigner named Ringens, who some time
ago attempted, as it was affirmed, to destroy himself
with an egg-shell stuffed with, gunpowder.
WESTMINSTER.

George Shirley, a thin sickly-looking lad, 16 years of
age, described as a costermonger, was charged with
having caused the death of Ann Deddell, a woman with
whom his father cohabited, at 1, Vincent-court, Vin-
cent-street, Westminster.
It appeared from the statement of Elizabeth Perry,
an intelligent child, twelve years old, that she was at
the house of the accused's father, when the former came
in, between four and five o'clock last Sunday afternoon.
A violent altercation arose between the young man and
the deceased, about a penny, in the course of which the
latter used very improper language, and struck him in
the face. She then► took up a knife and threatened to
throw it at him, and the prisoner then seized the poker,
and declared that he would strike her with it if she
touched him again. The little girl at that moment left
the room, and immediately afterwards the prisoner
rushed out of the house, followed by the deceased, who
was bleeding from a wound in the head, but who threw
a poker and old shovel towards him, and vowed ven-
geance if she caught him. He, however, escaped, and
she went to the Westminster Hospital, where her head
was dressed, and she then returned home.
Sergeant Buchannan, 8 B, produced the following
certificate:—

" Westminster Hospital, March 9.
" This is to certify that Ann Shirley was admitted
into this Hospital on Monday morning, suffering from
the effects of a blow on the head, and that she has since
died of the samo.
" GEORGE BUTTON HATFORD, House-surgeon."
Sergeant Buchanan, upon receiving inforwation of the
fatal result from the hospital, immediately apprehended
the accused at his father's abode, when prisoner said he
had had a quarrel with the deceased about a penny,
which she accused him of having taken, and admitted
that he struck her on the head with the poker.
The prisoner was remanded for a week,
WORSHIP-STREET.

Jean Jerome Breque, a well-dressed Frenchman, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with
having obtained, by means of a forged order, from a
banker at Rouen, in Normandy, the sum of 421. 105 ,
with intent to defraud his late employer, Mr. Jacob
Schweizer, a varnish manufacturer, in Poole-street,
Hox ton.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had for a con-
siderable period in his service in the capacity of travel-
ler and collecting clerk, but he found it necessary to dis-
charge him for misconduct in the month of January
last. About a month before that event he had occasion
to communicate on matters of business to two of his cor-
respondents in France, but having been suddenly called
from home, he attached his signature to two blank
sheets of paper which he entrusted to the prisoner, with
instructions to fill them up pursuant to his intentions,
and to forward them by post to their destinations the
same evening. On handing him the autographs the Pri-
soner remarked, " These are dangerous. thitnhges, with
slight-
est I might easily rob you;" but not havhisff
of availing
suspicion the time that he was cepa
himself of them for that purpose, witness left them with
him, and was subsequently assured by the
_prisoner
P and posted
that he had filled them up
them off according to his directions. The first in-
timation he obtained that the prisoner had made month
dulent use of his signatures occurred about d©a
after his dismissal, when ho received a communication
from M. Julienne, his banker at Rouen, apphraidsifhlganhdienid
that Bpi-anent to his written directions they
ch
a thousand francs to the prisoner, and on subsequently
requesting an inspection of the authority under which
they had so acted, the document now produced was
transmitted to him, containing an order to the above
amount, in favour of the prisoner, and which he at once
recognised as having been written on one of the blank
sheets of paper to which he had appended his signature,
under the circumstances before referred to. Witness
thereupon entered into communication with police-con-
stable Murray, of the N division,
the prisoner was traced outonthe
and taken into custod by
preceding wh x eer
evening,t°ns
custody.
On being called upon for his defence,
The prisoner admitted having received the amount in
iiagu?
tt o ion, but expressed his intention to reserve what he
sayin explanation of his conduct for a future cc-
casion.
It ha ving been intimated by the prosecutor that he
expected to be able on a future day to establish another
charge age inst the accused, arising out of the same
transaction,
The prisoner was ordered to be remanded until Thurs-
day next.

HULL, MARCH 9.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :--- gre have
had a very quiet trade during the past week, though marked
by much firmness and a pretty general feeling that the con-
tinued necestities of Germany, strongly evidenced by the re-
moval of import duties on the part of the iollverein States,
must at length have an effect on our prices. The trade.
generally looked for Mark-lane yesterday taking the lead, and
are much disappointed at the dullness, equally unexpected and
unaccountable. We had a moderate show of wheat from our
farmers to-day, which, owing to the dull London report, only
met slow sate, at about the rates of last week—farmers,
generally, being unwilling to submit to any reduction. Foreign,
much neglected. Very limited transactions in any kind 015
spring corn, excepting a fair inquiry for Egyptian beans at 27
to 27s 6d 631bs. The linseed market is is to 2s dearer during
the week, and cakes participate in the improvement. No bull"
hess of moment in either rapeseed or rape cakes.
