THAMES.

A JuvENELE THIEF.—Ann Sullivan, aged 12, was brought
before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a gold ring and
money from her mistress.

Elizabeth Pelham, a single lady, said she kept a lodging-
house at 58, Lincoln-street, Mile-end-road. The prisoner,
whose parents were very poor, had been recommended to
her by a person who formerly kept the house as a " little
servant," and she determined on taking the girl upon trial,
and for the work she had done had given her broken
victuals and money. On Friday last a gold ring and a
purse containing 30s. belonging to her sister were missing.
She marked some money, and missed 15d. of it. She sought
the advice of a gentleman belonging to a banking-house
who lodged with her, and gave the prisoner into custody
The marked money was found on the prisoner. Her
sister's purse was also taken from the girl.
Mr• Paget said he very much regretted the dishonesty of
the girl to whom the prosecutrix had behaved so well. Ho
remanded the prisoner, and directed the mother of the
prisoner and the sister of the prosecutrix to attend the
next hearing.

CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH.,—Mr. Thomas Aldridge, late
manager to Mr. J. S. Watt; landlord of the White Swan
Tavern, in the Commercial-road East, near the Stepney
Railway station, was brought up from Clerkenwell
Prison. He is charged with aiding and abet-
ting a woman named Mary Grinnaw, alias Palmer,
formerly cook at the White Swan, in con-
cealing the birth of her illegitimate child, which she
was strongly suspected to have murdered. There was no
doubt the child was suffocated, but the coroner's jury took
a merciful view of the subject, and returned an open ver-
dict, that there was no evidence to prove who suffocated
the child. The case against the prisoner Aldridge is that,
after the birth of the child, he employed a woman to wash
some female clothing which had been used by a lying-in-
woman, and that, when a constable arrested the woman
Ginnaw, he said to him, " Can't we square this ; you know
what things are between man and man ; she will only get
the sack, and it will be ten thousand pities." This is the
whole of the evidence against Aldridge, and it has been
urged in his favour that all he did was from motives of
compassion.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said he was now prepared
with bail for the prisoner Aldridge.
Mr. Paget—What amount of bail?
Mr. Charles Young—The
prisoner's own personal re-
cognisance in £4OO, and two sureties of £2OO each.
Mr. Paget—That is the amount of bail I determined

upon.

Mrs. Sarah Ann Robson, the landlady of the Victoria
Dock Tavern, near the Victoria Dock, and Mr. Henry
Love, baker, Sun Tavern-fields, St. George-in-the-East,
offered themselves as bail, and were accepted.
Alridge, who has been in prison a fortnight, was then
liberated.

TEA.—Business has been very dull, the trade having
deferred their operations until to-day, when a large quan-
tity of China produce will be offered for public com-
petition.

SUGAR.—There has been a fair demand, and superior
descriptions of West India have fully supported previous
rates. In the refined market. a fair amount of business has
been transacted, at steady prices.

COFFEE.—A large quantity is announced for public sale
during the week, but business in the private market has
remained very quiet, and prices have undergone no mate-
rial alteration.

A JOCKEY KILLED.—The little border town of
Annan held its annual races on Friday, and the
proceedings were marked by a very melancholy fatality to
one of the jockeys. The last stake was in the way of
" consolation" to beaten horses, and among those entered
was Mr. Lindsay's Measure for Measure. Its rider was a
young man named Harrison, in the employment of Mr.
Sharpe, of Ecclefechan. At a critical point in the race a
dog ran across the course and baulked the horse Harrison
was riding. It stumbled, threw the jockey, and before he
could get clear it fell heavily upon him. In its struggles
and efforts to regain its feet it again fell upon the prostrate
young man, and this time with fatal forte, for in a few
minutes he was dead. The race was stopped at once, ?aid
the greatest consternation pervaded the spectators.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE AND THE PRICE OF MILK.
—We have received a communication from one of our cor-
respondents, a well-known merchant and importer in the
north of England, upon the subject of the rise in the price
of milk in London, consequent upon the cattle plague. Al-
though the letter is to a certain extent private, wo feel its
substance to be so important that we venture to allude to it
in this portion of our issue. Our correspondent states that
milk in his part of the country is extremely plentiful and
superior in quality, and expresses a desire to send a few
thousand gallons per day to the London market. If the
cost of carriage is economical, no doubt a favoumble change
in the London market may be effected by the consignment
to it of such large parcels of milk as are alluded to n the
letter from which we quote.—Grocen
