EXTRAORDINABY CASE.—A strange looking creature
having the appearance of a confirmed mendicant,who gave
the name of Joseph Abersham, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assulting a lad named James Ella, a
chairmaker.

The compainant said he was on his way to the Effing-
ham Theatre yesterday evening, and observing a mob of
persons who were in rather an excited state collected oppo-
site Whitechapel Church, he crossed the road to ascertain
what was the matter. The prisoner who was seated on the
ground exhibiting the naked stump of the leg he had lost,
immediately threw a brick at him and knocked him down.
The prisoner than took up a stone, threw it at a boy, and
cut his eye open.

George Reed. 199 H, a police constable, said that several
gentlemen came to the station-house and complained of
the prisoner, who was a perfect nuisance, and had been for
several days appealing to the sympathy of passengers by
exhibiting the stump of his leg. The prisoner was very
drunk and noisy last night, and his language and conduct
very filthy.

The prisoner, who was half naked, shirtless, and covered
with dirt, slid he was a Sheffield knife grinder, and mum•
bled out something about his losing his work and being
half starved. He also complained that the boys hooted
him.

Mr. Selfe—You have no occasion to be in that condition.
In distress, indeed. You were drunk last night. I shall
sentence you to one month's imprisonment and hard

labour.

ROBBERY ON BOARD SHIP.—John Thompson, a
labourer, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged
stealing biscuits from the American ship Rhine, lying in
the London Dock.

John Ahun, a watchman in the employ of the London
Dock Company, said he stopped the prisoner as he was
leaving the dock yesterday afternoon, and found upon him
11b. 4oz. of ship biscuits. The prisoner said they came from
the American ship Rhine, where he had been at work.
The mate of the Rhine said a barrel of bread was opened
yesterday, and he soon afterwards missed 501bs. of bread
from it.

Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner what business he had with
the ship's bread 1'

The prisoner—l got it given to me.
Mr. Selfe—You had no right to receive it, or to bring it
out of the ship.

The prisoner—S'pose not; it was given to me, and I
hope your honour will look over it.
Mr. Selfe—lndeed, I shall not; you are sentenced to 34
days' imprisonment and hard labour.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Amongst the beasts here to-day were 300 oxen from
Spain and Portugal, in full average condition. The show
of home•fed beasts was moderate. Prime Scots and short-
horns commanded a steady inquiry, at fully Monday's cur-
rency, but inferior breeds moved off slowly, at barely late
rates. The top quotation was 4s 8d per Blbs. We have to
report a fair, but by no means active, inquiry for sheep, the
supply of which was rather limited, at full prices. The
best Downs realised 5s 4d per 81bs. In lambs only a mo-
derate business was doing, at late rates—viz., from 5s to
6s 41b per Blbs. Calves were quite as dear as on Monday,
but pigs and milch cows commanded very little attention.
