BOROUGH HOP.

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 sbe 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)—Where is your wife
Complainant—She is about 25 miles away.
Police•crinstable 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 STORT.—William BrOWLIOW,
military-looking man, about 30 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 12s. 6d, from
Thomas Milen, a hairdresser.
The prosecutor stated that ho 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 he 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 Milan, 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 how.
The prisoner said he was innocent, and that he drank
several pots of porter with Milan 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, ha is as innoeent as I am."
Mr. Partridge said the complainant had told a very strange
story, and he did not believe it. Re discharged the pri-
soner.

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 3s 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 rates.

Beans and peas sold slowly, yet no quotable change took
pli.ce in their value, compared with Monday last.
The supply of American flour was large, and ihe 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.

plantations within the last few days, and our market is
very quiet, at about previous quotations. New hops have
sold at £8 and £l2 per cwt. The imports from the conti-
nent are somewhat extensive for the time of year.
