UNION-HALL.

Thursday John Whitby Nthon, a respectable-looking
young man, with both his hands dreadfully cut and lace-
rated, was brought before Mr. COTTINGII AM, charged
With alarming the family of Mr. Rogers, in Bronte-place,
Walworth, and breaking sixteen squares of glass in one
of the windows of their house.

Miss Mary Rogers stated that on the preceding night,
about twelve o'clock, the defendant drove up in a cab,

and having knocked at the door, the moment it was
opened he rushed into the house and ran up stairs. She
ran after him into her bedroom calling out for assistance,

when he seized her by the wrists and endeavoured to throw
her down, but she resisted with such determination that
he did not succeed, and on hearing footsteps he imme-
diately rushed towards the window, which he could not
throw open, and he then began to smash the glass with
his hands, and never stopped until he broke sixteen panes,
besides shattering the window-frame to pieces. The de-
fendant then jumped through the aperture he had made,
and got out on the sill of the window, which was twelve
or thirteen feet from the ground, and at this moment
two policemen and some of the neighbours, hearing the
outcry, got into the room and secured the defendant, who
was covered with blood and lacerated.
Mr. COTTINGISA)I asked the witness whether she had
known the defendant previously to the night in question?
And her reply was, that she had never seen him before,
and could not account for such conduct.

. . _
Mrs. Roger 4 stated that she was going to bed at, the
time, and on Hearing a noise, and that her daughter was
calling for help, she threw up the window-sash and called
for the police, being afraid at the time to open her own
room, as there were no persons in the house but herself
and daughter. The witness also stated that.she had no
'recollection of ever having seen the defendant before.
And she added, that neither she nor her daughter had
yet recovered from the effects of the alarm into which
they had been thrown by the extraordinary and outrage-
ous behaviour of the defendant.
A cabman stated that the defendant hired his vehicle
about half-past ten o'clock on the preceding night in the
Haymarket, and desired to be driven to No. 25, Bronte-
place, East-lane, Walworth. The defendant did not ap-
pear to be under the influence of liquor, and spoke to
him quite rationally, but when the door of the house
where he was sat down was opened he rushed into the
passage, and witness did not see him again until he ob-
served him on the outside of the first floor window, the
pains of glass in which he smashed, before he got out en
the sill.

Mr. COTTINGHAM said that it was the most extraor-
dinary behaviour he had ever heard of, and that the man
who committed such violence must be labouring under
insa city. The Magistrate added that he was desirous of
hearing any statement, either from the defendant or any
of his friends, if he had any in attendance.
The defendant, who appeared to be suffering great
pain, while the blood was oozing through the dressings
om his hands, made no reply; but his mother, who seemed
in great trouble of mind, said that her son was a maniac,
and that he had escaped frockhis home, which was in
Bower• street, Commercial-road East, at an early hour
on the preceding afternoon.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that great neglect was attribut-
able to his (the defendant's) friends for allowing so dan-
gerons a person to go at large.
The defendant's mother here described that her hus-
band was master of a ship in the present Lord Mayor's
employ, and that being paralyzed he was unable to fill
the situation; that the family had recently returned
from Hobart Town, and that their efforts to get the
young man, the subject of the present inquiry, into an
asylum were unsuccessful, and that they were not in a
condition to pay for his admission into one of the private
lunatic asylums.
Mr. COTTINGRAM said that it was quite evident it was
dangerous to the community to allow such a person his
liberty, and that upon the production of a certificate of his
insanity, if the family were not in a condition to have
him placed under proper restraint, his admission into one
of the public hospitals for such patients must be pro-
cured.
Mr: Mullinger. a gentleman residing at Walworth,
who witnessed the greater part of the defendant's con-
duct, undertook to apprise the Lord Mayor of all thecir-
cumstances of the case, with a view that his Lordship
would exert himself in obtaining the required admission
for such a patient.
The unfortunate young man was thea given up into
the charge of his friends.

SuGar..—The British Plantation. Sugar market was in
a very dull state on Tuesday and 'Wednesday, but
holders were firm, and prices under Went no change,
yesterday however there was a considerable increase
in the demand from the Refiners fur all descrip-
tions ; the Grocers were buyers to a fair extent,
and the rates established on Friday last were fully
supported, indeed for good and fine yellow kinds buyers
were compelled to pay a small advance, the supply of
such at market being scanty and insufficient fur the
wants of the trade ; the quantity of Sugar disposed of
yesterday amounted to 850 hhds and tierces; there has
been no public sale, but 150 hhds Barbadues are de-
clared for Tuesday.
To-day a good demand prevailed for British Planta-
tion Sugar of all descriptions for both grocery and re-
fining purposes; low yellow and brown sorts fully sup-
ported the former value, but for strong grey and good
yellow kinds the prices paid were 6d per cwt. above thoSe
of la:zt Friday; the market closed with a firm aspect;
the total purchases for the week are 1,600 hhds and it-es.
REFINED.—For Refined Goods prices declined to
78s 6d to 79s for Standard Lumps, but during the last
two days, a good demand has existed ; prices have
advanced to 80s to 81s for Standard Lumps, 75s
to 795, is the value of low to fine brown lumps.
Treacle common at 25s 6d to 265, Patent 26s 6d to
295, best old make 30s, and Golden Syrup 30s to 32s per
cwt. Pieces of good and fine quality at 67s to 74s per
cwt, other sorts at 603 to 665. Bastards good to fine at
51s to 555, low to middling 40s to 503 per cwt. For
Bonded Crushed Sugar prices have declined Gd per cwt;
28s 6d have been accepted for first quality. Loaves 30s
to 30s Gd fur 14Ibs, and 31s to 32s for 101bs. Treacle

have been disposed 'of at private treaty at 62s to 695, mid-
dling to good middling 56s to 60s, low 52s to 55s per
cwt ; brown sorts sold at 36s 6d to 38s per cwt.
This afternoon there was no public sale, but by private
treaty yellow sorts were in good request and commanded
6d advance. Brown kinds were taken more freely at
full r4tes.

white sorts of Bengal, and a: fair demand hits existed by
private contract ; indeed the supply is not sufficient for
