TVOR:SHIPS THEET.

Mary Ashford, an exceedingly delicate-looking, but very
genteel young female, was brought before Mr. Broughton, for
reo-examination on a charge of child dropping.
The particulars of this case have already appeared before
the public.
Mr. Bacon, the relieving overseer of St. Luke's parish,
was in attendance, and intimated to the magistrate that he
had evidence which would at once remove all doubt as to the
identity of the mother of the child, and which would thus
make the case complete.
In answer to a question, Mr. Bacon mentioned the name
of the prisoner's compar.ion as one of the individuals wh,,
could give very important evidence touching the matter in
question.
Mr. BROUGHTON doubted whether he could receive such
evidence, as he much feared that person was a participator in
the crime, but (addressing the prisoner) Mr. Broughton rose
from his seat; and said, as touching Ler case, something very
extraordinary had just occurred. He had that Moment re-
ceived a letter from a lady, enclosing a sovereign for ber
(the prisoner). The lady expressed the greatest commis-
eration and sympathy for the situation of the prisoner, and
was desirous that the deserted child should be put into the
charge of a proper nurse, and she mould pay all the ex-
pensea.
Mr. BILOUGHTON continued—The letter was evident-
ly in the handwriting of a lady ; it might, however,
possibly be a trick ; but be that as it may, he could not
sanction such a proceeding. The child was alreat y taken
care of, and no doubt properly too, by the parish. tie owed
a duty to the public which be was always anxious to dis-
charge. He was quite ready to return the sovereign, or, if
the individual whosent it pleased,to put it into the poor-box.
The letter was without signature, but perhaps, through the

. •
instrumentality of the press, his Cdr. Broughton's) views
upon tho subject might reach the p.rson alluded. This was
a case not of mere desertion, but a very serious offence. A
precisely similar one occurred a number of years ago at
Bristol, and the two women who were the aggressors were
hanged. He shGuld further remand the case, in order to
furnish Mr. Bacon time for the production of other evidence.
THAMES.

Jane Ambrose, a ahrewisn looking woman, was charged
with the following despei ate assault on Cornelius Mahoney,
a man of rather diminutive stature.
It appeared thatithe parties are next-door neighbours, both
residing in Peel's-court, Shadwell, and on Sunday morning
the complainant and his wife happened to have a few words
together about a blanket that Mr. Mahoney accused his wife
with having made away with, and in which affair it seemed
the prisoner was implicated. The prisoner, after conducting
herself for some time in the most frantic manner, sudd. fly
seized a poker and aimed a desperate blow at complainant's
head, which he fortunately parried with his right arm, or it
would no doubt have proved fatal. The complainant bared
his arm and exhibited a large bruise on it. He added that
about an hour afterwards she came back and conducted her-
self in so indelicate a manner that he was compelled to give
her into custody.
This evidence was corroborated by the prosecutor's
daughter, a very intelligent child, eleven years of age.
Mr. BALLAINTINE said, where such murder( us weapons as
a poker or knife were made use of, he was determined to
punish the parties offending severely. He should fine her
20e., or ten days imprisonment. She was lucked up in
default.
A powerful lo king fellow, named Thomas Terry, was
charged with brutally assaulting and maltreating his wife,
Charlotte Terry.
Sullivan, a police-constable, II 127, stated that on Satur-
day night, as be was passing through Nightingale-line,
Limehouse, his attention was arrested by loud screams of
murder, and on going to a house in the lane, where a large
mob was collected, some women begged him, for God's sake,
to go in as there was a man killing his wife. On e proc emg
up stairs, he found the poor woman in a complete state of
dishabille, her hair hanging about her, aid her face covered
with blood. She said her husband had beer: beating her
cruelly, and he immediately took him into custody.
Toe poor woman, who exhibited two tremendous black
eyes, and other marks of ill-usage, deposed to her husband's
brutal treatment, and added that he was constautly in the ;
habit of using her in the same manner.
The prisoner, in his defence, said his wife got drunk and
spent his money.
Mr. . ft ALLANTIWE observed that his conduct was most un-
manly and disgraceful. Within a short period he had com-
mitted two men to Newgate, who were now awaiting their
trial for wilful murder, for similar, but, untimppily, fatal con-
duct to their wives. He should tine him 51., or in default sen-
tence him to two months' itnprisunuient.
The prisoher was locked up.

During last week the arrivals of Grain as well as Flour for
our itn.rket, coast wise acid by laid carriage and sample, werp
on al very limited scale, but those i f Wheat from Scotlatl,
d
viz., upward, of 4.000 quarters, were large ; while from I,re-
land a fair quantity of Wheat and Flour came to hand. The
imports of Foreign Wheat, viz, 16,444 quarters, were good,
but those of Barley. Oats, Beans, and Peas were trifling. Of
Foreign Flour we received rather over 8,060 barrels.
St Fheat;
up to-day rather a large quantity of home-grown
principally in the hands of the merchants, reached us frog'
Essex and Kent, the arrival of that article since Saturday
evening amounting to nearly 2,500 quarters. The show
of samples of both red and white was larger 1130
on any previous market-day held du ing the last six months.
As might, therefore, be expected, considering the prevaili°g

principal buyers, the demand fur all kinds of Wheat of howon.
