AN AI.A.BAILA MAN IN TIIOIII3LE.—COWAMDLY As.
GAULT.—Hugh Daly, an Irish Yankee sailor, was brought
before Mr Partridge, charged with violently assaulting
Catherine Casey.

The prisoner formerly belonged to the late ship Alabama,
sunk by the Kearsage, and has been staying the present
week in a boarding house in the neighbourhood of Retch&
highway, Yesterday he quarrelled with the complainant
in a public-house, and struck her a violent blow with his
clenched fist on her right eye. It was frightfully blackened
and swollen. The police never saw a black eye like it be-
fore. The complainant would not appear when the pri-
soner was first brought up yesterday, and the magistrate
remanded the case. The assault was clearly made out,
and the prisoner, in his defence, said he was provoked.
Mr Partridge said the prisoner had committed a most
violent and brutal assault on the woman, and fined him
£5. In default of payment three months' imprisonment.
ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Thomas Ward, aged
52, a labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge charged
with stealing llb, of sugar, the property of the London
Dock Company, his employers.
The prisoner was leaving the dock at the principal
gate, when a constable, named Francis Andus, took
off his cap and found in it a pound and a half of sugar.
It was stated that the prisoner was convicted by Mr Wool-
rych some time ago for having fourteen ounces of tea in
his possession, and sentenced to ten days' imprisonment.
The prisoner managed to obtain employment in the dock
again unknown to the principal authorities of the establish-
ment. He was seen by a constable a few weeks ago, who
warned him to be very careful, and said he would be closely
watched. The prisoner, however, commenced pilfering
again.

Mr Partridge said the prisoner would obtain no more
employment in the docks, and sentenced him to a month's
imprisonment and hard labour.

A FRADULENT HORSE TRANSACTION.—CHARGE OF
CONSEIRACY AGAINST A HORSE DEALER.—Isaac True-
man, of 15, South-street, Bethnal-green, horse dealer, was
charged before Mr Knox on a warrant with unlawfully
conspiring with others not in custody, and obtaining by
weans of false pretences a horse, value £3O, from Mr
Edmund Berry, with intent to defraud him.
Mr Thomas Beard prosecuted.

Mr Edmund Berry, fishmonger, 66, Charles-streen,
Pentonville, said—On the 30th April last I had a bay geld-
ing for sale at Aldridge's Repository. It was bought in,
not fetching the price set upon it. Several persons asked
me the price. A man introduced me to the prisoner, say-
ing, "Here's a gentleman who will buy your pony." The
prisoner said, "I have been your pony, and it's just the
thing to suit me to take my wife and child round the park,
What is the prices" I said £2O. Prisoner offered me
£l9, but I refused. Prisoner then said that if I went with
him he thought they could make a bargain, and I went
with him into a publichouse at the comer of SL.
Martin's-lane. On getting there prisoner said, "I'll
give you a pound down as deposit, aid if I approve
of the pony, I will give you, zt 19 on Monday
morning." I said I did not like that mode of transacting
business, and he then said, "Do ;ou doubt me ? lam a
respectable person and a corn chandler in Swan-street,
Bethnal-green. I am no judge of horses, although I have
several ; but if it were 200 or 300 sacks of flower I could
judge of it. I have a private house at Victoria Park." He
then paid me the sover.eign, and said he would send his
man over for the potty. I said, "Ohno ; my man is here,
and he will take it." My man took the pony, and I gave
him certain instructions. On the Monday following
I neither got my pony back nor the money which
he promised, at the same time stating that if the pony
was not approved it should be returned. On the Monday
I went and saw the prisoner walking up and down in front
of a cornchandler's in Swan-street, and he said, on my
asking him it' he liked the pony,he did,and that he should not
" part." The prisoner said he had to go to the Corn Ex-
change, that he was not prepared, but would call on Wed-
nesday and settle. At two on Wednesday I received a
letter making an appointment to meet me the same night.
I went to the address prisoner gave on the day of the bar-
gain, and he was not known there, I afterwards saw him,
and, he said that things had gone rather hard, and wanted
me to take a bill for 21 days, saying, " We transact all our
business that way," but, I declined to tyke it or one for
seven days. I have neither got my pony or money.
By Mr Pater (for the prisoner)—l let the prisoner have

the pony because I thought he was a respectable man. I
have taken these proceedings to obtain my money and as
an example to other persons. Ho told me to do my best or
worst, as he did not got his living by paying for things. I
never had such a ease before and hope never shall again.
Mr Knox—Certain representations were made to you,
which were—

Mr Berry—The man who introduced the prisoner to me
said he was a neighbour, and kept a cornchaudler'E shop,
as also did the prisoner.
A young man in the employ of Mr. Berry sail—On going

into the publichouse where my master and the prisoner
were, the prisoner told him I was not wanted. My master
told me to take the pony with the prisoner, who kept a
corn chandler's shop in Swan-street. Prisoner told me to
go on, and he would follow in a cab. We stoppod at the
corner of the street, and a man like an ostler came running
up. The man asked the prisoner it he should clean the
pony, and he said " Yes." I asked the man if the prisoner
was his master, and he said he was, and that he kept 20
horses and carts, an,l let them out. I then let the pony go.
Mr Edward Reed, lately horsekeeper, of Church• street,
proved buying a pony of the prisoner on the Tuesday after.
By Mr Pater—Prisoner sells corn and flour on commis-

sion for his father- n-law, who lives in Swan-street.
By Mr Beard—L am the nephew of the prisoner's father •
in-law. Prisoner attends fairs and buys horses. I have
never known him to be in trouble during the last six or
seven years. I have never known him to be charged with
any offence. I don't know that he was committed from
the Worship .street Police Court and tried at the sessions.
Sergeant Evans, 22 U—l took the prisoner into custody
at Stapleton's Horse Repository, Liverpool-street, City. I
have known the prisoner for years. Prisoner never had a
corn chandler's shop, nor vans to let for hire.
A remand was granted.

MARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market today the arrivals of English
wheat were small, the trade, however, was by no means
active ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and at the close of
business a fair clearance had been effected.

The pupply of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo-
derate. For all descriptions the trade ruled firm, and
Monday's currency was well supported,
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at
full quotations.

Only a moderate supply of barley was on the stands, and
both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands at full
currencies.

Malt was in fair average request at late rates.

The market was well supplied with oats. The trade was
less activo than on Monday, nevertheless that day's ad-
vance in the currency was supported.
Beans and peas ruled firm at full quotations.
Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at quite pre-
vious rates:
