Since we wrote last there has been a fair amount of
activity in the demand for wool at the public sales of
colonial produce now in progress. Home manufacturers
have purchased freely, whilst the transactions on French
account have considerably increased. German buyers have
also operated to a full average extent. Although the
laiddlugs have ruled more active the quotations have not
materially improved since the opening sale, prices of most

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—Thia Day.

BOW-STREET.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—A German named
Richard Berner, aged 29, who described himself as having
no occupation or home, was charged with stealing a tra-
velling-rug and coat from the platform of the South
Eastern Railway, Charing-cross. The property belonged
to an officer in the army stationed at Woolwich.

Detective Sergeant Monckton said he was specially em-
ployed by the South Eastern Railway, and that about
11 o'clock on the morning of the 13th he was on duty at
the Charing-cross station, when he noticed the prisoner
loitering about the platform and approaches of the station.
Suspecting that he was about to commit a robbery, he con-
cealed himself in order that he might watch. The pri-
soner had with him an empty bag. While he was
concealed he saw the prisoner stoop down among some
parcels that were lying on the platform, but at the moment
a passenger came up and took them away. In about half
an hour he observed he came on the platform again, and
he seated himself beside some luggage. A gentleman came
in and deposited a coat and rug, with a strap around them,
on one of the seats, and then left them for a minute
or two, the prisoner following him. As soon as the gen-
tleman turned into the office the prisoner turned back,
and deliberately took up the bundle and walked off with it
in the coolest way imaginable. He was leaving the com-
pany's premises with the articles, when he (witness)
came from his hiding-place and took him into
custody, telling him at the same time that he was
an officer, and that he should take him into custody for
stealing the property he held in his hand. He made no
reply. On searching the prisoner two duplicates were found
relating to wearing apparel which he had seen and believed
to be stolen property. One of the duplicates related to a
very handsomelyembroidered night dress, the other related to
two pocket handkerchiefs, one markedJ.E.C., and the other
C.P., ono pair of lady's slippers, and a child's robe elegantly
trimmed. Tho officer to whom the rug and coat belonged
was not able to attend, being on duty, but he (witness) had
no doubt that if the matter was made public he would
come forward as would the others of the other property.
The magistrate under these circumstances remanded the
prisoner.
