how very much he desired that the world should not
know how base a creature he was. The Learned
Gentleman-minutely went over the facts as proved,
and urged that the only inference that could be
drawn from them was that the prosecutor was Mrs.
Bailey's paramour, and the mind that could deem
him innocent wculd be as debased as his own heart
was degraded. On the 17th of September the defen-
dant had most convincing proof of his wife's infamy,
and very properly, he gave the prosecutor a sound
thrashing, but no charge of assault was preferred
then, and on the day in question, by accident, he saw
them come out of a brothel in the Waterloo-road, and
though he (Mr. Ballantine) did not wish to get from
the feelings of the jury what he could not get from
their judgment, he would ask them was not the de-
fendant justified in what he did ? Proceedings were
pending elsewhere, and an adverse verdict might, at
a future day, be represented as proof that this defence
was a false one ; but there could not be a person in
court unconvinced that this fellow was an abandoned
and profligate seducer. An array of witnesses were
in attendance if they were required.
Mr. Holm!. claimed a reply, but it was refused by
the Court.

The Learned JUDGE shortly summed up. The
jury had only to deal with the question of assault, and
he did not think that they could consistently do other-
wise than find him guilty. The defendant was not
legally jus*itied in the course he had taken, but if
the jury found him guilty he would venture to say
that he should not be inconvenienced by it. It should
be no stigma upon his character,
The jury found the defendant guilty of an assault.
The Learned JUDGE said it certainly was a most
disgusting case. Nobody who had heard the evidence
could have any doubt as to the character of the inti-
macy between the prosecutor and this Mrs. Bailey ;
and nobody could wonder that the defendant acted in
the way he did. The crime of adultery by the wife
was no excuse for an assault upon the paramour by the
injured husband, and the Court hoped he would not
repeat his conduct. The Court fully considered the
provocation given, and as a farthing was the
smallest coin known in this country, the sentence
was that the defendant pay to the Queen a fine of a
farthing.
Mr. HORRY begged to be heard in defence of Mrs.
Bailey's character.
The JUDGE—Character ! We've heard enough
of her character and the prosecutor's too, Mr. liorry.
The result was received with applause, and the
defendant left the court with a numerous body of
friends.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A DISTRESSING CASE.—Yesterday, a young lad,
aged 15, named John JO"ries, was charged with
stealing five herrings under the following circum-
stances :

George Ham, 275, said the prisoner was given into
his cu,tody, but the prosecutor, on learning the cir-
cumstances of the family, said he could not come for-
ward in such a distressing case, and therefore, with
the Alderman's permission, the boy might keep the
herrings.
Sir G. CARROLL asked the officer if he had made
inquiries respecting the case ? Ham replied that he
had, and had ascertained that the father and the pri-
soner were employed at Lloyd's printing-office, but
during the late epidemic the husband and one daughter
were attacked, and both died, leaving the prisoner's
mother a widow with a large family to support, and
no means of doing so; for, to add to her difficulties,
she was confined on Sunday, and they were all at the
present moment in the greatest distress. It was from
these circumstances that the prosecutor refused to
appear.

Sir G. CARROLL asked where they resided ? Ham
replied at 21, Harp-alley, Farringdon•street.
Sir G. CARROLL wished to know if they received
any relief ? Ham said they were in receipt of 33. 6d.
per week and three loaves from the parish of St.
Bride's, but that was not sufficent to keep four chil-
dren younger than the prisoner, one a little oldar, and
the mother.

Sir G. CARROLL asked if the prisoner was still in
employ ? liam said that his mother informed him
that he was discharged from Lloyd's about a fortnight
ago because he was late one morning.
Sir G. CARROLL said he thought it a case deserving
the sympathy of the public, and al3o one that ought
to be attended to by those societies who were re-
ceiving such large sums for the relief of the sufferers
by the cholera. He considered 3s. 6d. a week and
three loaves quite inadequate to support seven per-
sons, more particularly whe❑ the state of the mother
was considered. iie had no doubt, when the case
was made public, sympathy would be shown for the
widow under such circumstances.

Sir G. CARROLL then cautioned the boy against
being guilty of the crime of theft again, and dis-
charged him.
11am asked if he was to give the lad the herrings ?
Sir G. CARROLL said most certainly, us it was the
wish of the prosecutor, who had acted most humanely;
and he ordered the officer to take ss. to the poor
creature fuy her present relief, and likewise directed
that she should have ss. more next week.

man's, the Angel, High street, Whitechapel, 9i.;
and Mr. Sear's, Keys, Commercial-road East, I/. 75.,

Blackheath, for Ewins; and 51. from "A. II.," a
fhankoffering; and two sovereigns from " M. B."

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 22.—At Gloucester market, on
the 17th, wheat of all kinds was fully as dear. At Wor-
cester, same day, new English gave way is to 2s per
cleaner. Barley of all kinds rather tending downwards.
On oats the turn was also in favour of the buyer. Beans
and Peas both maintained their value, but with less
doing. During the present week the transactions in
wheat have been on a limited scale; our millers refusing
to buy except at a greater reduction than holders would
submit to. A few retail sales of barley and oats were
made at former prices. Beans and peas inquired for, and
owing to the short supply, quite as dear. At this day's
market there was a large supply of English wheat, and
the trade therein ruled dull at Is to is 6d per quarter
under the currency of this day se'rinight. Foreign held
for former prices, bur no progress could be made in sales.
Barley Is per quarter lower. Oates, beans, and peas, all
maintained their value, but with little doing in either.
BRISTOL, Nov. 22.—There was a moderate supply of
English wheat (best) at previous rates, whilst inferior
descriptions met a slow demand at Is per quarter de•
cline. The prices were—English wheat at 38s to 44s
per imperial quarter. In foreign wheat sales are to.
stricted, millers not being inclined to comply with the
demands of the o ivners. Foreign white wheat sold at
44s to 50s p,r 480 lbs; ditto reel, fine, sold at 40s to 43i
per 4801bs; ditto red, ordinary. 31s to 40s per 4801bs;
ditto, ditto, hard, 35s to 38s per 480113. The flour trade
is slack at nominal prices, the same rates as last
week. English seconds sof.l at 293 to 31s per sack;
American sweet, &c., sold at 23e to 263 per barrel.
Prime malting barley meta steady demand, but for se•
condary qualifies buyers were scarce—English malting
barley sold at 28s to 33s per imperial quarter; ditto
and foreign grinding, 203 to 24s per 480165. Oats
continue heavy without alteration in value. Devon and
Welch sold at 14s 6,1 to 153 per imperial qr; Irish,
white, sold at 16s 6d to 18s per 3201b5; ditto black,
143 6d to 16s 6 I per imperial qr; Foreign, none. Eng-
lish beans sold at 28s to 32s per imperial qr; Foreign
ditto sold at 25s to 28s per 4801bs. In Gloucester the
supply of English wheat was limited, and the foreign on
offer inconsiderable, but trade was steady and values
unaltered. The sale for malting barley was languid, but
good grinding was more in demand a: a slight improve-
ment. Oats are restricted in demand, and to effect sales
a reduction of 6d per qr has to be submitted to. Beaus
are scarce, but both Egyptian and French held with
great firmness to our quotations. The averages were—
Bristol: wheat, 40s 8d; oats, 18s 2d; barley, 30s 8(1;

nent. Trade ruled quiet throughout the week, sod

ket was thinly attended. Choice samples of wheat Were
