WOOL.
The imports of Wool last week consisted of 2,600 bales
from Port Philip, and 1,900 bales from various other quarters.
Privately the demand for all kinds of Wool is very heavy,
and the quotations have a downward tendency.
TALLOW.

The price of Tallow is very fair, at this morning's quota-
tion, and the holders are sanguine of higher rates. For ar-
rival, a large business has been done at from 46s to 47s 6d.
Town Tallow is scarce, at 48s 6d net cash ; rough fat, 2a 91id

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY

IN RE THOMAS GODFREY.

AN AUDACIOUS APPLICATION.—In this case an appli-
cation was made to discharge the insolvent on sureties
until his hearing at Chester. They offered themselves
as bail for 3001., which they stated in their affidavit that
they possessed over and above all they owed.
On the part of the detaining creditor au affidavit was
read in opposition, from which it appeared that the pro-
posed sureties were clerks in the Liverpool Post-office.
One of them had pleaded his poverty, and got a creditor
to grant him time to pay his own debt. On being asked
whether he had made an affidavit in this case, he admit-
ted that he had done so, as he was asked to get the in-
solvent out of gaol. He had never read it. The affi-
davit further stated that the bail was not worth a shil-
ling, and that the other bail, a fellow-clerk, was not in a
situation to pay his own creditors.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIrs said the present was a
most audacious application.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Baggett, a lad about fourteen years of age, was
placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with committing a
violent a sault upon Esther Baggett, his mother.
Complainant, whose face appeared to be covered with
wounds, stated that, on the previou3 evening, about a
quarter past six o'clock, she was in her bedroom, when
h
alarmed by the screams of her little child, a
s e was
girl about four years of age. She rushed into the yard
and saw the prisoner in the act of severely beating her.
On her remonstrating with him on his
cruelty to his
little sister, he got into such a rage that he took up a
knife and struck her across the nose, inflicting a fright-
ful wound, nearly severing it from her face. He then
took part of a window-frame and beat her about the
head till she became insensible. Fortunately the screams
of the other children brought a police-constable to the
spot, who took the prisoner into custody.
