The prisoner, in her defence, said that she'harl been-
seduced to the house of the prosecutrix, who kept a
common brothel, and that there her ruin had been ac-
complished, and that she had left it on that account.
Mr. Baron GURNEY directed the prosecutrix to he

that she kept a house of ill fame ; she said she kept a

The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and stated it as
their opinion that the house of the prosecutor should be
well looked after.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY )

ROBBERY BROM A S HOP.--.John Smith, a respec-
table looking man, was charged with stealing a quantity
of velvet, value 71., the property of Mr. Gabriel, a silk-
mercer, in Regent-street.
Mr. C.PHILLups conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that Mr. Gabriel had missed the velvet
from his shop, and had given information of the circum-
stance to various pawnbrokers, in consequence of which
the prisoner, who some time after offered it to pledge,
was detained and given into custody.
Mr. DOUNE, for the defence, contended that it was

CORN EXCHANGE.

There have been fair quantities of most kinds of Grain and
Flour this week. The Wheat trade was dull, at Wednesday's
terms. Barley maintained its value. Beans, Peas, and Oats
unvaried from Monday's terms. A slack trade for Flour.
SMITHFIELD. _

The supply of Cattle was short, and the trade brisk. Beef
and Veal unaltered, but Mutton 3d. cheaper. Pork in little
request, and prices were lower ; coarse Pork barely fetching
4s. and the finest sort only ss. per stone. Prise per stone,
8 lbs., sinking the offal—Beef, 3s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. ; Mutton,
4s. to is. ; Veal, 4s. 4d. to ss. 4d. ; Pork, 4s. to ss. Head
of Cattle at Market—Beasts, 562; Sheep, 3,020; Calves,
135 ; Pigs, 583.
BILLINGSGATI MARKET.

impossible the prosecutor could swear to the vel-
vet, and called several w'tnesses to character, from
whose cross-examination it appeared that the prisoner's
real name was George Buddy, that he was by trade a
tailor and had kept various public-houses, and had been
a bankrupt within the last twelvemonths, but had not
yet received his ccrtificcstc.
Mr. Justice COLEIUDGE, in summing up, told the jury
that the burden of proof was on the prosecutor, and
that they must be satisfied the prisoner had stolen the
velvet, as that was the offence he was charged with, be-
fore they could convict him, as it was not su►icient that
they should be satisfied he had been guilty of some offence
different from the one with which he was charged. If the
Jury even should be of opinion that the prisoner had
received this velvet knowing it to have been stolen, he
would be entitled to an acquittal qn this indict-neat.
Yet, certainly, the property having been found in his
possession so soon after the robbery, he was bound to
account for the manner in which he became possessed
of it.

- _
The supplies were moderate, and so was the demand. Prices
showed IA variation of moment. Turbot ss. to 21s. ; Cod,
3S. to 14s. ; Soles, 6d., Is. 6d., and ss. Od. per pair ; Lob-
sters 10d. to Ss. 6d. ; Haddocks, Bd. to as. ; Whifings, 4d.
to 10d. ; Oysters, les. to 455. per bush'el.
TALLOW MARKET. • . .

No revival in business in this department, and the price of
P. Y. C. was 495.
PROVISION MARKET.
Stocks generally fight, and but very little done. Prices un-
altered—lrish Bacon, 48s. to 50s. ; and Irish Butter, 755. to Bss.
COLONIAL M A
Trade dull, but prices steady. British Plantation Sugaesold
steadily at 60s. for brown, 635. for middling, and 683. for fine.
There were two or three mixed parcels of Coffee in the mar-
ket, but they were unimportant and no criterion 3,600 bags
white Bengal Sugar were put and sold at 58s. to 655. 1000
bags Bengal Rice sold at about 12s. for fair quality. 100 hhds
Barbadoes sold at 60s. to 695.
TEA SALE—(FIFTH DAY.)
There was a very fair attendance of the trade at the Sale, but
hey will not purchase at the present advanced and high prices
taontequent on the news from Canton. Excitement has now
ceased, and most of the Tea put up is bought in. Prices are very
uncertain, but they are considerably higher than they were be-
fore the last cows ; some authorities quote them at Bd. to 10,1.
per lb. all round higher, and some more. Congous sold better
than any other description. We should say that the advanced
prices were fully maintained.

After the Jury had remained some time in delibera-
tion, the Foreman stated that they found the prisoner
guilty of having the property in his possession, knowing
it to have been stolen. •
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE--That is not the- offence
with which he is charged; you must say whether he is
guilty of stealing the velvet or not. '
The Jury having c onsulted together for some time
longer, brought in a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, if the Jury were una-
nimous as to the reason which induced them to return
the verdict, he shou:d be glad if they would state it.
The Foreman of the Jury said that they were of
opinion the prisoner had received the goods knowing
them to have been stolen.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Under these circumstances
I must order the prisoner to be detained.
Mr. DOANE applied to have the prisoner admitted to
bail. He had surrendered that morning, and. hoped
that the same bail would be taken again. •
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, that as a Jury had ex-
pressed an opinion on the case, he did not think he
could, consistently with his duty, admit the prisoner to
The prisoner was then removed in custody.
