CRIMINAL COURT-(TIIIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
•
The RECORDER took his scat on the Bench at ten o'clock.
TVilliam England and Thomas May were indicted for
stealing on the 12th, of April from a garden in Cross-lane,
Islington, a quantity of carpenter's tools, the property of
Robert Martin. The prisoners were again indicted for steal-
ing from the same premises on the sth of June, a quantity of
tools and a working-jacket by climbing over a garden-wail,
the property of the same prosecutor. The facts, which had
no novelty in them, were fully proved.—Guilty. •
The RECORDER instantly passed sentence of transportation
for seven years on both the prisoners.
Thomas Graham was indicted for stealing on the I 2th of
June, in the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea, from the house
of Wm. Ewin, eight sovereigns, six half crowns, and other
monies, the property of Edward Allison. The prisoner had
been apprentice to the prosecutor, who had missed the money
on the day in question. He had received it only on the day
before. He subsequently went to Southampton, and found the
prisoner on board the Ata/unta steamer. lie had in his pos-
session a watch, for which he said lie had given 31., but which
was not worth 20s. He had also purchased some new clothes,
and all the money was spent except four sovereigns. When
taken into custody the prisoner said the money was left in an
open drawer, and he took it all but one sovereign.
The RECORDER said he was very sorry, on account of the
youth of the prisoner, and the sudden temptations, together
with his previous good character, that the case was too clearly
out made.

The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly
recommended the prisoner to mercy.
The RECORDER said he was bodnd to pass sentence of trans-
portation upon the prisoner for life, but as the prosecutor and
the Jury had so strongly recommended him to mercy, he should
be confined in the Penitentiary for twelve months.

NE COUR T.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
George Winter was indicted for steal;ng, on the 7th of June,
in the 'parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, a piece of silk, value
1/. 17s.;the property of William Smith. The prisoner came
into the prosecutor's shop about half-past seven o'clock, and
asked to be showed some trifling article. The shopman went
to the lower end of the shop to procure what he wanted, and
on his return be found the prisoner had gone, and on going
after him discovered the prisoner had concealed a piece of
handkerchiefs under his cloak. The moment he found himself
pursued he went into a court. and dropped the plunder in a
passage.—Guilty.
The prisoner was indicted on a former occasion, and was in-
formed by the Court he would not have an opportunity of re-
peating his system of shoplifting.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We have received Valparaiso Journals to the .sth January.
They are almost entirely barren of intelligence respecting the
war with Peru, active hostilities having not yet commenced.
Preparations were still making on both sides. General Santa
Cruz has levied a contribution of 100,000 dollars on the inha-
bitants of Lima, and issued severe decrees against any per-
sons favouring a debarkation of the Chilians. The Chilian
Vice- Admiral was off Guayaquil with a part of his squadron,
watching the movements of General Munn. Another part
of the Chan) force was blockading some Peruvian ships at
Puna. Private accounts say that the war had assumed a more
active appearance. An expedition was preparing at Valparaiso
of about 3,000 troops to invade Peru. Exchange on London,
7 1.16 pence.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY,) _

WYATT V. STOCKFN.

This was an action for false imprisonment brought by Mr.

Henry Wyatt, son of Mr. Wyatt, ihe ale-b:ewer, o'f•Poripool-
lane, against Mr. Charles Stocken, stationer, .53, Regent.
street, Piccadilly, under the following circumst,.cces. The
plaintiff's brother, ado was married to a Miss Sinlth, rented
a house in Chad's-row, Gray's Inn-lane, in which his sister-
in-law had an interest, and put up, among other. fixtures, a
handsome marble chimney-piece, valued at 12 guineas, which
he subsequently sold to Miss Smith on giving up possession.
While the house remained untenanted Miss Smith received
information that some persons had broken into it at night for
the purpose of removing the fixtures, and wrote a letter to Mr.
Henry Smith, the plaintiff, requesting him to go to the house
in Chad's-row and remove for her any things that were
likely to be carried off. The plaintiff, after apprizing a
policeman of his intention, went with two men for that
purpose, and while engaged in removing the chimney-piece,
the defendant, accompanied by two policemen, arrived, and
gave the plaintiff and the two men who were assisting him,
into custody, on a charge of felony. It was stated that the
defendant Stocken was the landlord of the premises, hut there
was no evidence given on the trial to establish the fact. Mr.
Wyatt and his assistants were conveyed to the station-house, and
thence to Hatton. Garden police-office, where he was dii-charged
on his own recoguizances to appear on,a future day, and show
his authority from Miss Smith, which he accordingly did, ai.d
the case was dismissed.

Witnesses having been examined, who proved the forogoing
facts, Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the defendant.
Lord DENMAN in summing up, observed that the defendant's
Counsel bad very properly admitted, that there must be a
verdict for the plaintiff; and he had also very fairly stated,
what could not be denied, that it could not be considered as a
very light matter when a man was treated as a felon. It
would be for the jury to say under such circumstances what
damages the plaintiff was fairly entitled to.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damage: 501.

THE MARKETS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Last week the arrivals of all descriptions of corn were mo-
derate, and the return of Flour was also middling. The
trade for every article remained unaltered from the previous
Monday. This morning there has been again a moderate
fresh supply of grain ; but the weather is now so very favour-
able for the crops, that the buyers manifest much cau-
tion in their proceedings. Fine Wheat still scarce, the
factors demanded more money for such ; but they could
not effect sales on any better terms than this day se'ettight ;
for other qualities the trade has been dull, and last week's
terms are hardly supported. In Bailey there is little doing,
and prices are unaltered. Beans and Peas remain as last re-
ported. There has been a fair 'demand for Oats to-day, but
last week's rates were not maintained without difficulty. The
Flour trade continues dull at no variation in prices.
