CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Brown, a police constable, and Barber, two men who
were convicted of an assault yesterday, were placed at the
bar for sentence.

It will be recollected that Brown, the policeman, was
found guilty of committing an assault upon the wife of
Barber, and there was a cross indictment againt Barber of
which he also was found guilty, for assaulting Brown.
The Recorder said this was a very serious matter for a
constable, whose duty it was to preserve the peace, to have
been found guilty of assaulting. He would have inflicted
a much heavier sentence supposing it was.the only prmish-
ment the prisoner would have to undergo, but as tho sen-
tence he was about to pass would result in his diranissal
from the force, he thought the justice of the case would ha
met by his being imprisoned in the House Of Correction
for two months with hard labour. Barber no doubt received
great provocation, but that did not justify his taking the
law into his own hands. Under all the circumstances of
the case he should order him to be imprisoned for 11

days.
A foreigner, named William Goldstein, was indicted for
receiving a quantity of cloth and wearing apparel, well
knowing it to have been stolen.
From the evidence it appeared that on the 10th of De-
cember, the prisoner was seen to receive a quantity of cloth
from three men in the St. Pancras-road, which he took to a
room he had but a short time before engaged. When asked
by the police whether he had received any property of the
description stolen, he denied having done so. The pri-
soner's room was searched by the police and the cloth
found.

The jury found the prisoner guilty.

The three men—Harrison, Gordon, and Street—yester-
day convicted of stealing the goods which Goldstein had
received, were then placed at the bar for sentence.
The Recorder sentenced Street to eight years' penal ser-
vitude, Harrison to seven years' penal servitude, Gordon to
twelve months, and Goldstein to nine months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.

The cabman who had given evidence in the CiSti was
called forward by the Recorder, and complimented upon
the manner he had acted. He ordered him a reward of

TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

Seldom have we seen so smallanattendance at the
Corner produce any betting at an, and although the transac-
tions this afternoon were limited, there was evidently some
money in the market had there been layers to accommodate
those who were ready to invest. For the Two Thousand
8 to 1 was " wanted" about /3robmielaw, and inquiries
about Chattanooga led to nothing more definite than 8 to 1
bar two. That Mr. Naylor's horse, however, wood -hew.
been supported at a couple more points there could have
been no manner of doubt. sto 1 was offered on the field
for the Derby, and after 800 to 100 had been booked about
Breadalbane, 8 " fifties" were offered in another quarter
without a response. 20 to 1 was accepted about Broomie-
law to £5O, and thus it will be seen that the interest of the
day's proceedings centred upon the Spring Cottage " dark"
pair. Christmas Carol went anything but merrily, 200 to
6 having been laid, and that with some difficulty. Closing
