DESPERATE OUTRAGE.—James Bateman, aged 22, and
George Bateman, 25, two brothers, of No. 3, Faust-street,
Bromley, labourers, who are better known in that district
as the "Bromley Tigers," were brought before Mr Par-
tridge, charged with creating a disturbance at the Five
Bells public-house, Old Ford-road, Bow, assaulting Mr
Daniel Cook, the landlord, and assaulting Philip Ward,
183 K, a police-constable in the execution of his duty.
Ward stated that last night he was called into the Five
Bells by the landlord. He found the prisoners there, drunk,
and making a disturbance. The landlord gave Henry
Bateman in cha-ge. He took the prisoner into custody,
and m ido a violent resistance, and kicked, plunged, and
fought in a fearful manner. A second constable came in
to assist. The other prisoner than tried to rescue his
brother, and a severe struggle took place. James Bateman
held on by the door-post, struck witness on the side of
the neck, and knocked him down. His brother constable
seized the two constables, and they all fell together. He
got up again, and was forced to use his truncheon to
defend himself. James Bateman was dragged by force
from the house. On the way to the station-house the
prisoner was very violent, and often threw himself down,
and plunged about the road.
Mr. Daniel Cook, landlord of the Five Bells, said the
prisoners made a disturbance in his house. They called
for two cigars, and would only pay for one. That was
how they commenced a riot in the house. lie said
they had cheated them out of 2d. At last one cigar was
given back. They then struck a man in the tap-room.
He pushed James Bateman out of the house, and the
prisoner struck him a tremendous blow on the lip with
his clenched fiat, and caused it to bleed profusely. A police-
man came, and George Bateman pulled off his jacket and
struck the constable, whose hat flew off. The prisoners had
been in his house before and made a disturbance. He had
to send for the police to remove them on former occasions.

MARKETS-..This Day,

MARK-LANE.

The fresh supply of English wheat to this morning's
market was very moderate. The condition of the produce
however being good, the bulk was disposed of by the close
of business, and the prices realised wars quite equal to those
obtained on Monday.
With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
well supplied. Selected parcels were in moderate request at
quite previous rates; otherwise the trade was quiet, but at
full prices.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
There was a moderate supply of barley on the stands.
Good and fine malting parcels were in steady demand, at
full prices; but all interior produce was dull, at about Mon-
day's currency.
For malt the trade was very quiet, at late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was large. In most descrip-
tions a fair business was transacted, and prices ruled firm.
Bans moved off slowly at late rates. Peas were firm in
price, the supply on offer being small. In most descriptions
of flour a fair business was transacted, at full currency.
