GUILDHALL-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERIES IN THE FAlR.—Several prisoners were brought
up, charged with attempting to pick pockets in Bartholomew
Fair yesterday. They were remanded, in order to afford them
an opportunity of calling witnesses to character. Three men
charged with playing with dice, at prick in the belt, &c.,
were also remanded for the same purpose.
ROBBING EMPLOYERS.—A boy named Thomas Grant, who
has been for about four months in the service of Messrs. W.
Rae and Evans, of 27, Ludgate-street, lace-dealers and mil.
lers, was brought up under the following circumstances :
Thomas Wagstaff stated stated that between nine and ten
o'clock on Saturday night, he observed the prisoner take some
parcels from the area of the prosecutor's house and walk off
with them. He followed and asked the prisoner what he had
got. The latter was very saucy, on which witness took him
into custody, and found on him the parcels produced. Two
others were afterwards picked up which the prisoner had
thrown away. The parcels contained pins, cotton and several

her articles.
Mrs. Rae said that she; had discharged the prisoner on
Saturday, and that the goods produced had been taken from
the shop of herself and partner. The value of them was
about 10s.
The prisoner, who had been in custody before on a charge
of stealing a frock, was then committed for a month to Bride-
well, Sir JOHN KEY remarking that he did not like to commit
such a youth for trial.
VIOLENT ASSAULT.— Horatio Hunt and three other re-
spectable looking young men were brought up, charged with
having committed a violent and unprovoked assault.
William Ward, a coachman, stated that as he was returning
home along Bridge-street, Blackfriars, between two and three
o'clock this morning, in company with a female and two other
persons, the female eras grossly insulted by Hunt; and on
being expostulated with, another of the party struck him a
severe blow with a stick, threatening at the same time to knock
his eye out. The other defendants, who were armed with
sticks, also joined in the attack.
Sarah Harvey, the female alluded to, corroborated this
statement, as did the other parties in company, and the watch-
man who was called to take them into custody.
The sticks which were produced were evidently notintended
to be used as walking sticks, being much too short for that

purpose.
Hunt denied the charge, and said that the first assault was
committed by the complainant.
Sir JOHN KEY said it might be very good amusement, and
very fashionable, to attack respectable people in this way, but
it was certainly extremely disgraceful. Unless the defendants
consented to make a handsome contribution to the poor-box,
he should order them to find bail to answer the charge at the
Sessions. _ .

The father of Hunt, in whose employ the other defendants
are, stated that they should find bail, and they were then
removed.

THE MARKETS:-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of both Grain and Flour reported this week
are small. The continued fine weather and favourable ac-
counts from all parts of the country, occasioned great dulness
in the sale of all kinds of Corn to-day, and Monday's rates
are hardly supported. The top price of Flour is confirmed
at the reduction stated on Monday. The duty on foreign
Wheat will be 2s. Bd. to•morrow.
