CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,---This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles,)

THE FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON HOLBORN-HILL.
George Langley, omnibus driver, surrendered to his bail
on an indictment charging him with manslaughter.
The facts of the case have already appeared in The Sun,
from which it will be recollected that the deceased was an
omnibus conductor, and during the time he was putting on
the "skid," or locking the wheels, the pole or horses of
another omnibus which was following knocked the poor
fellow down, and death resulted from the injuries he sus-
tained.

After two or three witnesses had been examined,
The jury inquired of the learned judge whether there
was any cause for them to hear further evidence, as they
had quite made up their minds.
The learned Judge said he did not like stopping cases,
but he must confess at that moment a thought was passing
in his mind whether there was any case against the defen-
dant.

The Foreman—We have quite made up our minds; it
was a pure accident, but we wish to know whether it is
competent for us to add a kind of requisition to our verdict?
The learned judge told the jury they were quite at liberty
to add anything they pleased.i

The Foreman—They formally returned a verdict of not
guilty, and said the jury trusted the company to which de-
ceased belonged would make some recompense to the widow
for her loss, as the death of her husband was caused
solely by his anxiety to serve his employers.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
CHARGE OF STEALING TURPENTINE.

John Smith, 24, sawyer, and Joseph Pemberthy, barge-
men, were indicted for stealing one calk and 50 gallons of
turpentine, the property of Sir Cherie' Price and others,
and Joseph Charles Harrison, oilman, Queenhithe, was in-
dicted for receiving the same, well knowing them to have
been stolen.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Frederick Tell was indictel for stealing a watch and
chain, the property of James Horner, from his dwelling-
house.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced
to six months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

STATE OF TRADE.

DUNDEE, Sept. 22.—Flax, tow, and cadilla all
keep quiet, the demand being entirely consumptive,
and the prices of all qualities, excepting some of
the higher marks which are scarce, in favour of
the buyer. With these exceptions the market was
remarkably buoyant to-day, and the inquiry for
linens beyond all precedent. The consumption of
jute is now very extensive, and still increasing.
Stocks in sellers' hands are light, with prices tend-
ing upwards, and the demand active for all quali-
ties; bat fine is much sought for, and 10s. to 20s.
per ton higher than last week. Yarns were again
a little dearer, and all qualities greatly wanted.
To day a considerable quantity was sold, but not
to the extent of purchasers' wants, spinners being
quite unable to book so many orders with any hope
cf executing them this year. The American ad-
vices received yesterday report a large business in
hessians at advanced rates, and linens generally in
active demand. Many of the hessians sold there are
for corn sacks, the grain being now shipped in
bags, as it is difficult to be got insured in bulk.
These large sales imply an extensive shipment of
grain to the United Kingdom during the winter,
and low prices on this side. Large transactions in
linens were entered into to-day for delivery through-
out the remaining months of the year, and Ameri-
can buyers were pressing operators. Several home-
trade buyers were also in the market, but it was not
possible to place half the orders they had to give
out, either for Dundee fabrics or for those made in
the district.

LEICESTER, 23d.—The hosiery trade has been
very active during the past few days, and manufac-
turers continue well employed with orders on hand.
In the country districts business is without much
change. Yarns hold up in price, and spinners are
fully employed to order. There is no material alte-
ration the in price of wools; the market is firm and
rates are high.

NOTTINGHAM, 23d.--There has been rather more
doing in lace goods during the past few days than
for some time previously, and more is expected to
be done in Octobar. Some few orders for muslin
quillings have been completed this week. In other
descriptions of plain goods there is not much doing.
Black silk laces are rather less in request, but more
is expected to be done when the harvest is con-
cluded. Narrow edgings arc selling telerably well.
In hosiery there is not much change. Yarno aro
realising very high prices, and the tendency is still
upwards.
