WESTMINSTER.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

Ann Sullivan, aged 24, described as a spinster, was
charged with killing and slaying Charles White. Mr.
Thompson prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that formerly the deceased was the landlord
of the Nag's Head public-house, Whitechapel-road, and
that on the 24th of June la=t the prisoner had entered the
Nag's ead, and was discovered in the act of attempting to
pick pockets. She was removed by the barman, but returned
and commenced abusing the deceased, who turned ber
out. She then took up a stone and cut the deceased on the
back of the bead with it. He became an out-patient of the
London Hospital, but erysipelas intervening, he died on the
15th of July.
The defence was that the prisoner had been grossly abused
by the deceased, and that she was called a prostitute, which
she was not. A defence of insanity was also set up.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and eLe was sen-
tenced to eight months' irnprisonment.

THE ALLEGED CASE OF STAIMING IN KIN GSLAND-BOAD.
Mary Anne Perry, charged on the coroner's inquisition
with the manslaughter of Thomas Burke, with whom she
cohabited, was placed at the bar, and pleaded that what she
had done was in a fit of passion; she had no wish or desire
to injure the deceased.

The facts relating to this unfortunate case have been
fully reported in The Sun. The deceased, who was a
married min, his wife being confined in a lunatic asylum,
cohabited with the prisoner. He had returned home
and commenced quarrelling with the prisoner, calling
her very offensive names, and endeavoured to force her out
of their room, when in a fit of passion she seized a knife lying
on the table in the room, and stabbed the deceased, and
from the effect of the wounds he died in half an hour.

The evidence was complete as to the act having been
committed by the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict
of guilty.
The Common Sergeant sentenced her to 18 months' im-
prisonment.

The prisoner curtseyed and appeared much surprised at
the leniency of the sentence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—John Barrow was brought
up on remand charged with stealing half a salmon, the pro-
perty of his master, Mr. Groves, the well known fishmonger
of Charing-cross.

Mr. Groves said the prisoner had been in his employment
for some years, at a salary of £1 2s 6d per week, and lately
he had frequently missed fish; and on Friday last observ-
ing that the prisoner had something bulky in his pocket, he
called him into his room, and asked him what he had there?
The prisoner said, "This sir," and produced half a salmon
from his pocket. It weighed 61b., and was worth 7s. He
called a constable (Brown, 518 A) who took the prisoner in
custody. At the station-house he said that he had never
stolen anything before.
The prisoner had been remanded to give Mr. Groves an
opportunity of considering whether he would prosecute at
the sessions. He was reluctant to do so on account of the
prisoner's wife and family; but, on the other hand, felt
that there was some need to make an example, as great
quantities of fish were stolen, and the innocent were often
suspected. This consideration was the more urgent, as a&
his first examination the prisoner, in protesting that he had
not stolen anything before, observed that if fish was stolen
he was not the thief.

Mr. Henry asked him if he meant that as an imputation
on any particular person ?
The prisoner, with considerable hesitation, said he had
not intended any such imputation.

After a week's reflection, Mr. Groves came to the conclu-
sion that he was bound to press the case.
Mr. Henry committed the prisoner for trial,

SUNDAY TRADING.—CAUTION TO LICENSED VIC-
TUALLERS.—Mrs. Caroline Merrington, of the White
Horse, Brook-mews, Grosvenor-square, appeared before
Mr. Knox to answer the complaints of Inspector Draper,
of the C Division, of keeping her house open for the sale
of beer, &c., during the prohibited hours on Sunday.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that about 11 o'clock on the
morning of Sunday, Aug. 9, in company of Webb, 112 C,
he watched the defendant's house, and saw five persons
come out. He and his brother officer then entered the
house with three other men and called for a pot of half and
half, and paid 6d. for it, being served by the defendant.
One of the men called for a pot of half and half, and paid
for it, as also did a man for a glass of ale.
Defendant said she did not remember being there at the
time, and she thought it must have been her niece.

Dawson said that one of the three men was about to light
his pipe, when the defendant said, "Don't smoke here. sir,
for the police are pretty sharp on to us, and will be here
directly, and will then say that we have been drinking and
smoking all the morning.
101 Mr. Knox fined the defendant 40s. and costs.

IMPORTANT TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—John Mattos,
a tall, dusky-complexioned man, described as an interpreter,
was charged, bolore Mr. Knox, with assaulting William
Bennett, potman to Mr. Thomson, licensed victualler, in
the Haymarket.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for Mr. Thomson, and said that the defendant had

for about two years been refused to be served by Mr. Thom-
son, owing to his having misconducted himself, and finding
that to be the case he was in the habit of sending other
persons to the house to call for things, and then walking in
and taking up the articles in defiance of Mr. Thomson and
holding them up in an annoying and irritating manner, so
as to give great offence. On the previous night the defen-
dant rushed into the house, and on Mr. Thomson taking a
glass of stout away which had been called for by another
person, so that defendant should not have it, and telling his
potman to put the defendant out, he first having refused to
leave, the defendant assaulted the complainant.
Mr. Knox said that, supposing the defendant had once
misconducted himself and afterwards went into the house
in a quiet manner, was Mr. Thomson not bound to serve
him ? If the defendant went into the house peaceably, was
the landlord to say, " You misconducted yourself one former
occasion," and then to put him out. He (Mr. Knox) con-
sidered that Mr. Thomson had no right to do co.
Mr. Lewis said that perhaps his worship would hear the
case. The defendant was in the habit of making use of bad
language and annoying Mr. Thomson's customers. All
Mr. Thomson wanted was peace and quietness.

Bennett said that he told the de'endant to leave, and, on
his refusal, ho put his hand upon him, and then the de-
fendant knocked him down. The defendant was then put
out, but returned and made a rush at him and knocked
him down, and while down struck him several times on the
head, hurting him a good deal.
In answer to Mr. Knox the witness said it was about
one o'clock when the defendant came back the second time,
and that he appeared to be sober.
Mr. Knox asked the witness whether defendant had been
guilty of any disorderly conduct before he interfered, and
the witness said he had Rot seen any.

In reply to Mr. Lewis, the witness said the marks in his
forehead were the results of the blows he received.

Defendant asked him whether he was not standing quietly
when Mr. Thomson told him to leave, and the witness
said defendant had hold of a post.

Mr. Wm. Thomson, of 46, Haymarket, said the defen-
dant came into his house about one that morning, he (Mr.
Thomson) for two years having refused to serve him, owing
to his bad conduct and bad language. He asked the de-
fendant why he came to his house to annoy him, at the
same time taking the glass off the counter which the man
had called for, so that defendant should not have it. He
then told his doorkeeper to put the defendant out, and he
did so, but he returned in 10 minutes and struck the man
in the face and tore his collar off. Why he relused to serve
the defendant was because he wished to keep his house in
order.

Defendant said the reason Mr. Thomson refused to serve
him was because he took his friends to another house.
A. constable having proved seeing defendant enter into
the house, and afterwards seeing complainant and defendant
on the floor, the defendant being sober,
Defendant said he was asked by a friend to go into Mr.
Thomson's and have a glass of stout. He told his friend it
was no use going in, for Mr. Thomson woßld not serve him.
On going into the house the man told him to leave, and put
his hand on him; and then they had a struggle, aid all his
(defendant's) clothes were torn. He (defendant) used to
take gentlemen to plaintiff's, and they paid for sherry and
champagne, and as he did not take them there now Mr.
Thomson was annoyed.
Mr. Knox said he believed the defendant had a perfect
right to go into Mr. Thomson's, and as long as be con-
conducted himself peaceably he had as good a right to go in
as anybody else. Mr. Thomson has no right to assume
that defendant is going to annoy his customers ; but if de-
fendant did,then he should call in the police. He did not think
Mr. Thomson acted legally 1 owards the defendant in the first
instance, and if the matter had stopped there he should
have discharged the defendant, as they had no right to lay
hands on the defendant, and Mr. Thomson and his potman
were wrong. For the second assault on the man he should
fine the defendant 10s. If the defendant went to the house
again he should call for what he wanted, consume it quietly,
and then if any person put hands on him let him come to
the court and he could have a summons,

Defendant said he would never go to the house again.

Mott THE YOUNG MAN rnom THE COUNTRY,— rails
a prostitute, and Richard Collinson, a cab driver, were
charged with stealing a watch, the property of Mr. Law, at
present residing at 27, Castle-street, Holborn,
The complainant stated that on the previous evening he
was at Cremorne-gardens with some liiends, and atter leav-
ing there they went to a public-house, where they had some
ale. He had two glasses, and was sober. When he left
the public-house he saw the female prisoner, who spoke to
him and wanted him to go home with her. He observed
to her that he was a man of different complexion to that,

as he was a married man. She remarked that that was all
the better. She then put her arm round his neck and
kissed him.

Mr. Selfe—Did she kiss you twice ?
Complainant—l do not know whether she kissed me
twice or three times. After she had done that I missed my
watch, when I charged her with stealing it; The watch
was in my waistcoat pocket. I gave her into the custody
of a policeman.

The female prisoner denied having taken the watch, and
stated that the complainant kissed her instead of her kissing
him.

Mr. Selfe (to complainant)—Whero is your wife?
Complainant—She is about 25 miles away.
Police• crmstable V. 264 stated that he saw the female
prisoner pass something to the male prisoner.

Sergeant Diss, V 28, said that there was a crowd of per-
sons round the complainant when he lost his watch.
The prisoners were remanded.

THAMES.

A VERY STRANGE STORY.—William Brownlow, a
military-looking man, about 30 years of age, was bruught
before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 12s. Gd, from
Thomas Milen, a hairdresser.

The prosecutor stated that he was living at No. 12,
Brick-lane, Whitechapel. This morning he was passing
along an alley leading out of Church•lane or Back Church•
lane, Whitechapel, when ho met the prisoner, who knocked
him down and ill-used him. After that he accompanied
the prisoner to a public-house, called the Red Lion, at the
corner of Leman-street and High-street, Whitechapel,
where he remained some time, until the prisoner put his
hand in his pocket and took from it 12s. 6d. He followed
the prisoner until he met with a police-constable, and gave
the prisoner into custody.
Adam Carr, 40 H, said the prisoner was given into his
custody by the hair-dresser Milen, who said he had been
robbed of 12s. 6d.

Mr, Partridge—Did ho say he had been knocked dcwn
previously ?

Carr—No, he said nothing about that.
Mr. Partridge--How is that, Milen ?
The prosecutor said he thought it was enough to mention
the robbery without the knocking down.
Mr. Partridge—And where was the landlord of the
public-house when you were robbed in front of the bar ?
Witness--I really don't know, sir.
Carr was questioned by the magistrate, and said the Red
Lion was a house as well conducted as such a house could
be. It was generally open till two o'clock in the morning,
not always. No complaints had been made against the house.
Mr. Partridge—Were the parties drunk or sober ?
Carr—The prisoner was sober—the barber was intoxi-
cated.

Mr. Partridge asked the prosecutor why he continued in
the prisoner's company for a long time after he had been
knocked down ?

The prosecutor—l did not keep his company any bow.
The prisoner said he was innocent, and that he drank
several pots of porter with Milen this morning, in which he
was partially confirmed by a man named Joseph Fell, who
said, "My worthy friend was charged all at once with
stealing 12s. 6d. Why, he is as innocent as I am."

Mr. Partridge said the complainant had told a very strange
story, and he did not believe it. He discharged the pri-
soner,

NAMKETS7This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A moderate supply of new English wheat was on sale
here to-day, and most samples were received in good con•
dition. Both in red and white qualities a fair business was
transacted at Monday's decline in the quotations of 38 to
4s per quarter.

The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. Al
descriptions sold heavily at barely stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at about pre.
vious rates.

The supply of barley on offer was very moderate, yet the
demand ruled inactive at late currencies. Malt changed
hands to a limited extent on former terms.

There was a fair supply of oats on the stands, and the
demand was in a sluggish state•for all qualities, at barely
late rafts.

Beans and peas sold slowly, yet no quotable change took
ph.ce in their value, compared with Monday last.
The supply of American flour was large, and the demand
ruled inactive, at fully the late decline in prices. Other
kinds of flour were in limited request, at Monday's cur-
rency. Top price of town made, 438 per 2801bs.
