REVERSE OP FORTUNE.—PAINFUL CASE.—William
Gingell, a labourer in the service of the London and Vic-
toria Dock Company was brought before Mr Paget charged
with stealing 43 cigars valued at 14s and stated to be the
best in England.

The prisoner, who was much, affected was formerly a
gentleman of fortune, and in four years squandered a for-
tune of £25,000. After several vicissitudes he became a
day labourer. His family at home are in some distress, and
his wife was confined wifh herlast child four days ago. He
now appeareciin the felons' dock on a most serious charge.
Mr Thomas Popham, gate keeper of the up town ware•
house of the London and Victoria Dock Company, Pdino-
ries, said the:prisoner had been employed there two years.
Yesterday afternoon he searched the prisoner, and rubbed
him down in the usual manner, and found upon him 43
cigars. A portion of them were concealed in his bosom and
the remainder in his stockings fastened round his legs with
red tape. He said to the prisoner " How came you to be so
foolish as to do this ?" and he said " There is illness at
home." The prisoner had borne a most excellent character.
The prisoner faintly said he was guilty.

Mr Addington, inspector of gatekeepers, said that he was
desired by his superintendent to say he had known the
prisoner 20 years, and that he had borno an irreproachable
character.

Mr Paget—That tells both ways. The prisoner hae
robbed his employers in a very ingenious manner. It is a
very serious matter. I sentence the prisoner to be impri-
soned for two months and to be kept to hard labour,
A VERY BAD SON.—Edmund Clay, aged 20, was
charged with stealing a scarf shawl, valued at 10s., the
property of his widowed mother.

The prosecutrix said she was very sorry to appear against
her son. She was sorry to say he was a very bad fellow.
He would not work, and preferred an idle life to living on
the fruits of his own industry. He had robbed her several
times. He had become too well acquainted with a bad set
of male and female companions. On Tuesday last he
robbed her of a scarf shawl, and sold it for 2s 9d at a leav-
ing shop.

The prisoner, with an air of indifference, said " Guilty,
my Lord." He was sentenced to Ulm° months' impritou.
went and hard labour.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to our market today. The demand, however,
was by no means active; nevertheless, prices both of red
and white qualities ruled firm.

The market was well supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the trade ruled quiet,
yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request
at late rates.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade
for most qualities sold firm at full quotations.;
The malt trade was steady at late rates.
With oats the market was extensively supplied; the de-
mand, however, was of full average extent, and the recent
advance in prices was supported.
Beans and peas ruled firm at quite previous rates.
The flour trade was steady at full prices.
