THAMES.

A. DESPERATE OFFENDER.—MichaeI Lynch, a well-
known thief, was brought up on remand before Mr. Part-
ridge, charged with violently assaulting Joseph Cummings,
a labourer, and breaking his leg.

Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said a friend of his was in
court, who could identify the prisoner as haying attacked
him and stolen his watch,

A police constable said the prisoner was also wanted for
entering a shop and committing a robbery therein.
Mr. Partridge said there was only one charge entered on
the police-sheet before him, and he would hear that first.
It appeared from the evidence of Cummings that on the
21st of August last, he was in Dock-street, Whitechapel,
with a woman named Mary Ann Bryant. "He was not
sober and he was not drunk, but only half and half " This
definition was received with some derisive laughter. He
then proeeeded to state that three or four men came up and
threatened him, and one of them hit him on the back of the
head and he ft-11. While he was on the ground with his leg
across the kerbstone a man jumped on it and broke it. He
never saw the man before, and was not certain whether the
prisoner was the man or not. He lost his cap and handker•
chief. _ _ _

Mary Ann Bryant, who said she obtained a living by
hawking fruit in the streets, and had lived 20 years in one
place, deposed that the prisoner Lynch was the man who
knocked down the prosecutor, and then seized him by the
hair of the head.

Mr. Partridge—Now, describe in what way the prosecu
tor was assaulted, and be very particular about it.

Witness—Lynch ran across the road, caught him by the
hair of the head, and knocked him down. He got up again,
and the prisoner gave him the leg and threw him. I am
certiin Lynch is the man.
Evidence was given that the prisoner was several weeks
in custody while Cummings was in custody, and was even•
tually released on his own recognisance to appear and answer
the charge. He did not do so, and afterwards committed
several daring robberies. He was apprehended on the night
of Monday the 23d ult. by Francis Kelly, 130 H, on a
charge of stealing a watch. The prisoner had been since
remanded twice, and all the charges of robbery and a• saWts
not being complete, the prisoner was again remanded until
Tuesday next.

MARKETS--This Day.
MARK-LANE.
The arrivals of home-grown wheat fresh up to this morn-
ing's market were small. Both for red and white qualities
the trade ruled firm, and Monday's advance in the cur-
rency was well supported.
With foreign wheat the market was by no means exten-
sively supplied. In all descriptions a fair average business
was transacted at the extreme rates of Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and prices had an
upward tendency.
The supply of barley was tolerably large. Good and
fine malting parcels sold steadily at full currencies. In-
ferior produce, however, was a slow sale on former terms.
Malt•changed hands slowly at previous quotations.
The supply of oats on sale was moderate. On the whole,
the trade ruled firm at full prices.
Beans and peas were in steady request, and the quota-
tions had an improved tendency.
In flour a fair average business was transacted at full
currencies.
