A FEMALE HIGHWAY RUBBER.—Mary Ann Sullitan,
aged 28 years, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
stealing 3s. 2d. from a little boy named Henry Goodbody.
The was in the employ of Mr. Roxborough, a trades-
man, who entrusted him with 38. yesterday evening, and
sent him on an errand. The boy was met by the prisoner
at the entrance of a narrow court in Alie-street, White-
chapel. She slapped him and asked if he had any money
about him. The boy declined answering the question, and
she put her hand into his waistcoat, and took the 3s. he
had put there. She thpn searched his other pockets, and
took from one of them 2d. of his own money.
The boy called out for the police, and the prisoner and
another woman, who was standing at the corner of the
court when the robbery was committed, ran away. The
boy pursued the prisoner, who dodged him about the
courts and alleys with which the locality abounds, and she
at last entered a public-house and made an attempt to con-
ceal,
herself. She was given into the custody of Police-
constable Knackston, No. 200 H, to whom she gave two
sixpences, and she said that was all the money she pos-
sessed. She was searched in the police-
station by a female,
and 2s. more found in her bosom. Some halfpence were
also found upon her.

Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial for highway
robbery.

STEALING TEA.--William Johnson, ship-keeper, and
Martha, his wife, wore brought before Mr. Paget, charged
with stealing 11b. of tea from the ship Blencathra, in the
West India Dock.

The female prisoner was stopped by a dock constable,
named Cremer, yesterday afternoon, and a bag containing
lklb. of tea was found concealed under her clothes. She
said her husband was the ship-keeper of the Blen-
cathra, a ship which was lately discharging a cargo of tea
in the dock. He confirmed her statement, and now said
that the tea was an overplus of some delivered to the
officers and men on board for their use, and he was
allowed to take it.

Mr. Paget, having some doubts on the ease, would give
he prisoners the benefit of those doubts and discharge

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were very moderate. The condition of the produce,
however, was good, and the trade generally was firm,
Monday's prices being well supported both as regards red
and white produce.

Tho supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very
moderate. The trade, however, ruled far from active ;
nevertheless prices wore firm, though unaltered from
Monday. Good and fine Baltic wheats were chiefly in
request.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full cur-
rencies.

The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. The
demand for all qualities was in a sluggish state, yet no
change took place in prices.
Malt sold slowly, at previous quotations.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. On the
whole, the trade was dull, but good and fine samples
chiefly commanded attention. Prices were unaltered.
Beans and peas were in . but moderate request, at late
rates.

The flour trade was steady, on former terms.
