CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

John Barker Murphy, alias Barter, alias Stanley, 41,
described as a builder, Benjamin Martin, 43, agent, and
Alexander Honeyman, 30, agent, were indicted with a
Person named Turner, not in custody, for conspiring
together to obtain goods by false pretences, with intent
to defraud.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution; the defen-
dants were represented by Mr. Robinson, Mr. Giffard,and
Mr. lionea!y.
It appeared that the prosecutor of this indictment was
a Mr. Brock, who carries on the business of a dealer in
Bohemian glass articles in Bartlett's-buildings. In July
last, Turner, the man whose name appeared in the in-
dictment as a co-conspirator with the defendants, called
at his warehouse, and represented that he was a com-
mercial traveller, and that he was desirous of dealing
with him for articles in his trade upon credit, and he re-
ferred to the defendant Murphy as Barker, whom he
described to be a respectable builder iu William-street,
Newington-causeway, and Martin, whom he described
as John Stanley, residing in the Southwark-bridge-
road, as persons who would vouch for his respectability.
He accordingly applied to these parties, and upon their
representation that Turner was a very respectable per-
son, and possessed considerable property, and that he was
certain to pay for the goods, the prosecutor, although these
persons were entire strangers to him, consented to let
Turner have goods to the amount of more than 3001.
The evidence left no doubt that these two defendants
and Turner were leagued together for the purpose of
obtaining the goods in question by fraud, as it was shown
that they had both gone by false names, and that im-
mediately after the goods had been obtained by Turner,
under the circumstances stated, a considerable portion
of them came into their hands and were pawned through
their instrumentality. With regard to the third defen-
dant, Honeyman, however, all that was proved against
him was, that a portion of the property came into his
possession through Turner ; but it appeared that im-
mediately the matter was made the subject of inquiry
he at once admitted the fact, and said that Turner baci
placed it with him as security for money be owed him,
and h expressed his readiness to give it up to Mr.
Brock, and there did not appear to be any evidence to
connect him with the fraudulent transaction of the other
parties.
At the close of the case for the prosecution, an inti-
mation was given by the Court that there wag nothing
to go to the jury auainst Honeyman, and the jury there-
at once returned a verdict of not guilty with regard to
that defendant.

The jury found both the other defendants guilty.
Sergeant Quinnear, of the P division, who had the
case i❑ hand, stated, in answer to questions put by the
Court, that he had reason to believe that both the de-
fendants who bad been convicted formed part of a gang
of swindlers about the metropolis, who obtained their
livelihood by defrauding tradesmen of their goods by
means of false references and representations with re-
gard to each other. He was not aware, however, that
either of them had ever before been convicted.
The REC3RDER sentenced the defendants to be kept to
hard labour for six months.

W COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Daniel Sullivan, a powerfully-formed young man,
having the appearance of a pugilist, was indicted for
feloniously assaulting George Harris, and stealing from
him a gold watch valued at 401.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Mahon was fur
the prisoner.
The prosecutor, who stated himself to be a gentleman
of independent property, living at Norwood, said that oil
the night of Sa'urday, the 14tH, he went with his bro-
ther to the Griffin public-house, Church street, New-
ington, kept by Welsh, the fighting man, to see some
glove practice. The prisoner was there, and prosecu-
tor's brother had a set-to with the gloves. Witness was
the worse for liquor, and in the course of the evening be
had occasion to go into the yard, where he was pre-
ceded by the prisoner, whom he had asked to show bite
the way. Prisoner took him to the skittle-ground at the
rear of the premises, remaining in the skittle-ground,
and as prosecutor was leaving, prisoner seized his
watch; prosecutor resisted, and a scuffle ensued, when
prisoner knocked him down and made his escape; and
when prosecutor recovered the effects of the attack, he
found his watch gone, and the broken chain hanging
from his waistcoat. Information was given to the po-
lice, who took the prisoner about an hour afterwards
from his father's, where he was in bed, drunk. When
told what he was charged with, he said he knew nothing
about the matter. Prisoner had in his possession when
searched, one sovereign and 7s. Bd. It further transpired
that both prisoner and prosecutor, and others of the
party, were very drunk.
The jury said they were not satisfied that prosecutor
had his watch when he entered the skittle-ground, and
acquitted the prisoner, who was ordered to be at once
discharged.

THE LATE BRUTAL MURDER OF A
FEMALE IN MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday, at Marylebone Police-court, after the dis-
posal of the majority of the night charges, the man Wil-
liam Styles, who underwent an examination before
Mr. Broughton yesterday week on the charge of having
murdered Emma, his wife, was again placed at the bar,
and the court was, as upon the former occasion, crowded
to excess.

An immense number of persons had assembled around
the Government van, from which the prisoner was
brought up from the House of Detention, Clerkenwell,
and several policemen of the D division were in atten-
dance to keep the way clear, and prevent any confusion
during the transit of the prisoner from the vehicle to
one of the lock-up rooms in the outer office.
The particulars which transpired upon the first in-
quiry in relation to the horrible affair have already ap-
peared.
A coroner's inquest bad since been held upon the body
of the unfortunate deceased, and an adjournment for a
fortnight had taken place.
Mr. Henry Percy, surgeon, who, as it will be remem-
bered, gave evidence yesterday week, and then spoke as
to the appearances which the body presented when he
was called in, was again sworn.
Mr. Broughton—Since you were last here, Sir, you
have made a post-mot tem examination of the body of de-
ceased, I believe? W itness—l have.
Mr, Broughton—What is the result of the examina-
tion? Witness—l and my assistant opened the head.
There was no fracture of the skull. The brain was
congested, and serum was effused between the mem-
branes into the ventricles. I examined tho chest, and
found on the right side the whole of the ribs, with the
exception of the first one broken, some of them in two
places. The right part of the chest was driven in, and
a quantity of blood infused into the cavity of the
pleura. I examined the left side, and found some of
the ribs broken in two places. Ore rib was driven into
the lung.
Mr. Broughton—ln what state was the heart?—Wit-
ness—lt Wa3 healthy. I examined the abdomen, and
found the upper surface of the liver and a large quantity
of blood in the cavity of the abdomen, perhaps two or
three pints. The spleen was ruptured. Other organs
were healthy.
In reply to the Magistrate, witness said that the pro-
fession to which he belonged were not quite agreed as
to what the functions of the spleen were. Witness
gave gave further evidence to the effect that the deupathonof /lb % ;

Inspector Porter, D, who has been very active in the
getting up of the ens., produced a letter in reply to one
which, in consequence of information communicated to
him, he addressed to a police inspector at Woodstock.
The said letter was handed to Mr. Broughton, and it
would appear, therefore, that the prisoner was known
there, and that his name was Joseph Greenaway, sup-
posed to be a deserter from a regiment of Dragoons,

EADVZILTISEMENT.J—it is an undeniable fact that
Holloway's Pill' are the Finest Medicine in the World.—ln
a
cases of deranged stomachs, determination of blood to the
hlelsd, bile, sick headaches, stomach and liver complaints, there
is no remedy known that gives such immediate relief as these
far-famed pills, the peculiar properties of which act directly on
the mainsprings of life, so that no disease, however dangerous,_
can resist their influence; therefore all persons predisposed, to
any of these disorders should, at this season of the year,
promptly have recourse to a few doses, which would effectually
check every symptom and restore health and vigour.—Sold by

THE CUSTOMS' DUTIES.—From statistical returns
piloted on Saturday, in a Parliamentary paper relating
to trade and navigation, it appears that the net produce of
the duties of Customs, in the year ending the sth of Ja-
nuary last, was 22,104,1571,, against 21,904,5671. of the pre-
vious year.

STATE OF TRADE.
There has been an active business transacted at Man-
cllester during the pzst week, and the prices of cotton
yarns and cloth have advanced, the former to the extent
of from to Id. per lb. The receipt of more favour-
able adviees from foreign markets has produced a renewal
of business for continental account, and the German
buyers have extended their operations in yarns to the
extent of 2 500,0(Y) lb. more this year than in the 59,010
period of 1851. For the Bombay and China markets
there has also been an increased demand, This
itnprove-
ment was, however, checked on Saturday, by the intel-.
ligence that her Majesty's Ministers had resigned, and
though prices were not affected, yet the amount of
for bu
msi-
ness transacted was very limited. It is, perhaps, ,:, .
nate that there are large contracts in hand, which wn
furnish full employment for some weeks hence, othar•
wise the present political changes would, by destroying
confidence as to the future, exercise a very
injurious
effect upon the manufacturing interests generally.
, The
hosiery trade at Nottingham cntinues tolerably active,
and in some descriptions of goods there has been an in-
creased demand. The lace manu.'acturers are also fairly
employed. and are looking for an improved demand as
the season advances. At Leicester, and in the neigh-
bouring district, trade has been dull; but a more active
business is anticipated in the spring. The woollen trade
at Bradford is very unsatisfactory, and prices for Pince
goods and yarns tmremunerative. At Leeds there has
been an improvement in the cloth markets, and prices
are firm, with a tendency upwards. The wholesale
houses have increased their purchases, and the stocks
are moderate. At Birmingham the several departments
of trade are generally well employed, and in s°m°
branches of manufacture—such as brass founderit
copper, and gilt work—there has been an increased acm
trvity. In South Staffordshire there has been an in-
creased demand for the best descriptions of iron, and the
; export, trade is tolerably active. In the home market'
with the exception of a large order for rails, trade is
anything but brisk.
