THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There is a moderate Tatum this week of all sorts of Frain,
both English and Foreign. There was so little disposition to
do business, that the factors were inclined to take rather lower
prices for wheat than on Monday. The sale of other grain
was limited at no variation in value. The Flour trade very
dull at last quotations.

CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE
(THIS DAY.)

The vote of John Flazledon was again proceeded with
this morning, with little prospect of being brought to a
conclusion before to-morrow.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

John .Henman was indicted for burglary, and had
pleaded Not Guilty, but his counsel,
Mr. PAYNE applied to the Coart for permission to with-
draw that plea, and insert that of Guilty, because he
should be able to prove that the prisoner was insane. This
was accordingly agreed to.
Catherine Donovan was arraigned for uttering forged
coin, knowing it to have been counterfeit. The evidence
clearly traced the bad coin to the prisoner, and, under the
statutes relating to Mint prosecutions, the record of a pre-
vious conviction, for the same species of offence, seven
years ago, was put in evidence.
Mr. PAYNE, who appeared fur the prisoner, submitted
that it was very unfair that the minds of the Jury should
be prejudiced by allowing the fact of a previous conviction
to be put in evidence before the verdict was returned. In
all other cases but Mint prosecutions, the fact of a pre-
vious conviction was reserved till the verdict had been

given in.
Mr. Justice PATTE3ON said this observation had no force ;
inasmuch as the previous conviction for uttering forged
coin, did in fact go to constitute the felony, as showing that
the prisoner was in the habit of uttering such forged coin,
and that she must know it to be counterfeit. Besides
which the Act imposed a higher penalty on prisoners after
the first conviction.

The prisoner was found guilty.
In the course of the proceedings the Judge remarked
upon the evidence of a linendraper's "assistant," which was
required to prove the case, and which was given in a very
inaudible voice—that linendrapers' men made the worst
witnesses, for that being constantly in the habit of talking
soft things to ladies about silks and velvets they acquired
a way of speaking so gentle and lisping that in a Court of
Justice the evidence was with diliaculty heard—there was
no getting them to "speak up."—( Laughter.)
