SOUTHWARK.

William O'Brien, the man alleged to be concerned
with Duncan and his wife in conspiring to defraud the
London and North-Western Railway Company of 1201.,
by pretending that they had received serious injuries
owing to a collision near Leighton Buzzard, was brought
up on that charge.
Duncan and his wife have before been under exami-
nation, the details of which have already appeared.
O'Brien, who is a party also implicated in the charge,
has kept out of the way since the warrants were applied
for and issued, until the preceding day, when he was
taken into custody at a lodging-house in Allen-street,
Barwick-street, Soho. _ _

The policeman, in describing the particular 3 of
O'Brien's arrest, said that when he was informed of the
nature of the warrant issued against him, he said that
Duncan was a traitor, or words to that eff, ct.

COTTINGIIAM said that if the prisoner wished to
state anything on the subject of the chargo he would
hear him, but that he was not called upon to do so; and
as the other prisoners were remanded, and would be

brought up again on a future day, rerhPrs he hn.rl I,t!er
. _

Ld to t

The prisonir s:id that he should decline, fur Lile pre-
sent, saying anything with reference to so serious a
charge; and he added that he wished to correct -the
policeman's statement as to the words he used in refe-
rence to Duncan. What he did say with regard to that
person was, that " ho was a man capable of saying or
doing anything,"
Mr. CorriNcuam then informed the prise ner that as
the offence with which he was etataged wits a b:iiable
on he should not dt-prive- him of his liberty if he en-
tered into his own recognizance in the sum of 2001., and
found two sureties of 100/. each, for his appearance at
the next examination, and that he should require twenty-
four hours' notice of bail.

The priscner, who said he was not in a condition to
find such heavy sureties, %%IS then cointottted i❑ default.

market., on the 20th, wheat was unalkred in value, with
a slow trade. Barley firmer, at previous rates. Oats

the transactions in wheat have again been on the most
limited scale, at barely previous prices. Barley unaltered.
Oats are only taken in retail. Beans, again is per quar-
ter lower. Peas held for rather more money, which
buyers will not submit to. At this day's market there
was a fair supply of wheat from the growers, which rea-
lised quite as much money. Lower prices were not sub-
