full quotations ; otherwise the trade rules inactive, but
without leading to any change of importance in prices com-

BOROUGH HOP.

Good and fine hops, the supply of which on offer is very
moderate, move off freely at extreme rates. In inferior
qualities a few large transactions have been made by porter
brewers at late quotations, but low- conditioned produce,
almost generally, is difficult of sale. Last week's import
was 262 bales from Antwerp, 649 Bremen, 309 Boulogne,
99 Hamburg, 140 Rotterdam, 20 Ostend, 60 Boston (U.S.),
and 649 New York.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Fnll av rage supplies of home• grown potatoes have been
received at these markets since our last report. From con-
tinental ports a moderate supply has come to hand. For
all qualities the trade is in a sluggish state, yet prices, on
the whole, are fairly supported.

The public sales of colonial wool commenced on Friday,
and up to the present time the attendance of home buyers
has been large—of foreign very moderate. The result, so
far as regards prices, has not come up to the expectations

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF A CONSTABLE.—Edward
Warren and Fred. Wm. Smart, furniture makers, in Great
Crown-court, St. James's, were charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt, the first named with creating a disturbance, and the
latter with attempting to rescue Warren from custody.
They were further charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly.
Wilson, 39 C, said that on Saturdaynight he saw Warren
drunk in Great Crown-court, quarrelling with another
man. He requested him to desist, and not cause a distur-
bance, and as he refused, and he believed the two men
were going to fight, he took him into custody. The other
man went away. On the way to the station with Warren,
Smart, who was drunk, pushed him (Wilson) against the
wall, and he was subsequently taken into custody.
Warren said that the constable called him a " -
brothel keeper" and a "thief," and said he would ring his
"- nose off." He was at the time removing some fur-
niture, and he requested the constable to clear some
boys away who were annoying him, but the constable said
he would rather take him into custody than he would the
boys, and on his coming out of the house the constable
seized him by the neck, twisted him round, and then took
him into custody.

A witness named Thornbury said he saw Mr. Smart
standing at his door, and as they had both seen what had
occurred, he suggested that they should go to the station
and interpose for Mr. Warren. They went together to the
station, and Smart went in and was asked what he wanted,
and on his saying that he came as a witness, the constable
seized him and charged him along with the other (Warren),
All Smart, who was quite sober, had done, was to follow to
the station. He (witness) was also collared at the station,
and the constable called out, "Turn him out," and he was
turned out.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said that all Mr.
Warren had done was to ask the constable to protect him
from the boys, who were a great nuisance to the tradesmen
in the court.

Smart said he was struck in the back of his neck by the
constable.

Wilson said they were both drunk.
. _ _

A female named Bennett proved hearing the constable
make use of the language imputed to him, and hearing Mr
Warren ask him to keep the boys away. Both the defen-
dants were sober.

Mr. Thornbury said both the defendants were quite
sober.

Mr. Joseph Howell, of 10, Great Crown.court, said that
both defendants were quite sober.

Warren said he had been collecting money all the even-
ing, and was perfectly sober.
__ __

Mr. Howell said they had frequently to complain to the
police of the conduct of the boys in the court.
Seageant Brady, 15 C, on duty at the Vine-street station,
and John Richardson, 167 C, acting gaoler at the station,
said that both defendants were drunk. rho sergeant said
that Smart came to the station and was so violent in hie
conduct that it was impossible to reason with him at all
and he was chargel with rescuing Warren. The defend-
ants were bailed ont in the course of the evening.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the whole question was whether the
defendants were drunk or not. It had been sworn by the
witnesses for the defence that the defendants were sober,
but he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) believed they were both drunk. He
did not think it hardly likely that the constable would call
Warren what was alleged at once on his interfering. He
believed the defendants wore, as said, both drunk, but from
the evidence of the different witnesses ho would discharge
them at once, as they had been locked up.
The defendants were then discharged.

THAMES.
SMUGGLING TOBACCO AND CIGARS,—Henry Pinalty
Wilhelm Ter Harr, a foreign Jew, who gave his address
144, Gloucester-street, Dublin, and described himself as a
merchant, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with
smuggling 191bs, of foreign manufactured tobacco and
cigars.

The prisoner had been remanded to enable the Solicitor
of Customs to sue for a penalty of £lOO, and an information
was now exhibited, and Mr. Beverly, from the Customs'
Solicitor's office, appeared on the part of the Crown.
Mr. John Harris, an examining officer of Customs, stated
that on Friday last, on the arrival of the Waterloo steamer
from Rotterdam at the St. Katherine's wharf, he searched
the passengers' luggage, and nearly tho last who presented
himself was the prisoner. He asked him if be had any
goods liable to duty, to which he replied only 76 cigars.
The prisoner then opened a large box containing toys, on
the top of which were 76 cigars, of which he took possession.
He told the prisoner he could have them again on payment
of the duty. He then closely examined the box and found
that the interior of it• was vey shallow as compared with
the exterior appearance. He measured it and discovered
a false bottom to the box. He took it out and a quantity of
tobacco and cigars were disclosed to his view. There was
a space of 23/4 inches between the false and the real bottom
of the box, and he took from it Iltlb of cigars and 7ilb of
tobacco: He seized the tobacco and cigars, and upon speak.
ing to the prisoner about it he said "I'll pay the duty,"
which he of course was unable to take, and arrested the
prisoner.

Mr. Hodd, from the Queen's warehouse, Custom-house,
said the value and duty of the tobacco and cigars amounted
to £9 19s.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said ho came from
Amsterdam to Rotterdam, and before leaving the former
place his brother's servant packed up the box. He was not
aware there was a false bottom to the box, or that there
were any cigars or tobacco in it until the officer made the

seizure.

Mr. Woolrych—l would recommend you to pack up your
own bores before you leave Holland again.
The prisoner—l should like to pay the duty.
Mr. Woolrych—Oh, no. You can't be allowed to do
that. I believe you knew the tobacco and cigars were con-
cealed in the box, and I can assure you English Custom •
house officers are not so easily taken in. You are fined
£lOO, and in default of payment 6 months' imprisonment.
The prisoner was not prepared with the money, and was
locked up.

The Haymarket Christmas piece is written by
Mr. William Brough, and is founded on Rasselas and Its
continuation. It is planned to accompany an elaborate
panorama of the Holy Land, painted by Mr. Telbin. The
same popular writer is engaged to furnish Mr. Fechter
with his Christmas piece for the Lyceum ; and the opening
night of this theatre, under the new management, is an-
nounced for the Ist of January. The Olympic Will be sup-
plied with a Christmas piece from the pen of Mr. Burnand;
and the Strand, as usual, will rely upon Mr. Byron, who
has chosen "Ivanhoe" as the subject of his burlesque.
Mr. Webster intends to revive the once popular
drama of the " Sea of Ice" at the Adelphi—giving Miss
Avonia Jones another opportunity of appearing in one of
Madame Celeste's leading characters. A burlesque upon
the play of "George Barnwell," written by Mr. Byron,
will form the Christmas piece at this theatre.
