that
tare gentlemen came into
my shep for a halfpenny " tater." I sold him the " tater,"
then he asked for a ha'porth of eels. I told him I could
not let him have a ha'porth of eels, and with that he made
use of foul language, and threatened me. I told him to
leave my shop, and he would not, and struck me in the
face and scratched it.
Mr Paget—l see your face is scratched, but that was not
done with the fi3t ?
Witness—No, sir, he might have done it with his open
hand. He caught me by the neck and pummelled me un-
mercifully, and would have strangled me if a policeman had
not interfered.
John Wilson, 152 K, stela that ho found the prisoner
with the complainant's head under his arm, and he could
not extricate himself.
Mr Paget—His head was in Chancery, Jt could not be
in a worse position.
Wilson—He struck him twice in my presence.
The prisoner, in defence, said he went to Hogg's shop for
his supper. He commenced with two eel pies, and de-
voured them in an instant. There were only two mouth-
fuls, He could have swallowed a hundred of them. Well, he
thought to himself he would have a hapenny prater, but the
prater was bad, and he askA for a haporth of eels instead.
" We don't make any hap rrths of eels," says he, and tould
him to leave his shop, Well then the paetrycook "fit "
aim, and he " fit " the pastrycook.
Mr Paget—ls the prisoner known?
Wilson—Yes, air, he is. He was sentenced by Mr
Woolrych to six weeks' imprisonment for assaulting a man
with a pair of scissors, and he has since been imprisoned
for 21 days for assaulting a police-constable. The prisoner
is a hawker.

Mr Paget•—The prisoner is a very rough, irregular, and
disorderly fe I sentence him to 11 days' itnprisoa-
ment spd hard labour.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale at Mark-lane
to-day was but moderate. The trade, however, was very
dull for all qualities, and the small amount of business
transacted was at fully Monday's decline in the quotations.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The
demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and prices had a
drooping tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at barely late
rates.

There was a good supply of barley on offer. Good and
fine malting parcels were steady in price; otherwise,
the trade was dull, at fully the late decline.
The malt trade waa dull, and where sales were pressed,
less money was accepted.
The supply of oats on sale was very large. For all quali-
ties the demand ruled inactive, at a further decline of 6d
per quarter.

Beans were a slow sale, at Monday's decline in prices.
Peas were unaltered in value from Monday.

BOROUGH HOP.
Our market is well supplied with new English hops. The
demand for all good and fine qualities is somewhat active,
and prices rule firm. Inferior produce, however, is in slow
request, and factors have, in some instances, accepted rather
less money.
