THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEKBER 27, 1841.

the plaintiff was 22 years of age, and his wife two years
younger ; and from that time up to January 1841 they lived
together upon the most affectionate terms, and Mrs. Mei-
velle was treated with the greatest respect and attention
by her husband. They were first cousins, and had been
acquainted from childhood, and appeared much attached
to each other. After their marriage they lived in Bruns-
wick-square, and subsequently removed to Wimpole-
street, where they used frequently to have concerts, and the
defendant being a great admirer and proficient in music,
often attended them. Mrs. Mievelle and witness were
pupils of M. Moschelles, the eminent pianist, who often
gave balls and concerts to his pupils, to which Mrs. M.
and witness generally went, accompanied by the plaintiff,
and occasionally met M. Polai there. In January, 1841,
a letter was addressed to Mrs. Mievelle from the defend-
ant, couched in such language as at once to excite suspicions
of his wife's fidelity, and, in consequence, an estrange-
ment took place for several days,which witness succeeded
in doing away, by representing that at last his wife's
conduct could only be pronounced indiscreet. After
this M. Polai ceased visiting at their house, but they oc-
casionally met him at M. Moschelles' concerts. In the
following July, the plaintiff, his wife, and witness pro-
ceeded to Switzerland on a visit to their relatives, and had
reached Frankfort, when M. Meivelle received an inti-
mation that a firm in Paris, which was deeply indebted
to him, had failed, and he was compelled to repair thither
immediately. 'Witness and his sister then returned to
England, and took up their residence again in Wimpole-
street, and during the absence of the plaintiff in Paris
M. Meivelle used frequently to be out late at
night. From the facts stated by the servants concerning
her, the plaintiff's brother deemed it necessary to re-
move her to his house, and shortly afterwards sent her
to the country, from whence she ran away to the Con-
tinent with M. Polai. Mrs. Mievelle had two children
by her marriage, one nine years of age, and the other
eighteen months, which are at present at school in
Brighton. She was entitled by a settlement from her
father who is an eminent merchant in Broad •street,
City, to an annuity of 2101., and a reversionary interest
in 6,000/.
Virgine Bailie, a French woman, who was lady's maid
to Mrs. Mievelle, deposed to certain facts tending to
establish the charge upon which the action was founded.
John Forrester, the Mausion-house officer, said, by
the direction of the plaintiff's solicitor, he went on
board the Hamburgh steamer, and soon afterwards the
defendant also came on board accompanied by Mrs.
Mieville. They sailed for the Continent, and he (For-
rester) traced them along the Rhine until they reached
Berlin, when the defendant became aware that he was
tracked and spoke to him about it, using the words—
" You need not take so much trouble, the case could
have been established before."

Mr. LEE on behalf of the defendant, urged that he
was not so much to blame as the lady herself, who was
thirty years of age, and that he had not violated the
rights of hospitality. He, acknowledged his crime, and
trusted some allowance would be made by the Jury, on
the ground that persons reared on the Continent were
not imbued with those strict principles of morality which
marked English society.
The Learned UNDER-SECONDARY in summing up said
it was the duty of the Jurymen to award such damages as
would be adequate to the rank of the parties, and the
injury inflicted.

-The Jury retired, and after about twenty minutes;
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
OBBARD V. TAYLOR.

This was a writ of inquiry to ascertain the amount of
damages sustained by the plaintiff in an action for false
imprisonment, the defendant having suffered judgment to
go by default.

Mr. PETERSDORFF, for the plaintiff, stated that MT.
Obbard was an attorney's clerk, and lived in Camden-
town, and that defendant was a respectable grocer, in
High-street, in the same neighbourhood ; that in the
beginning of May, 1841, a favourite dog of the plaintiff's
was lost ; that plaintiff, hearing it was at defendant's,
called there for it ; that the defendant at first hesitated
to deliver it up, and suggested that it did not belong to
plaintiff, and at last demanded ss. for its keep for a
month; that on 4th September plaintiff called at defend-
ant's, and said defendant's wife had insulted plaintiff's
wife, and defendant sent fbr a policeman, and gave plain-
tiff in charge for abusing him ; that plaintiff was taken
to the station house in Albany-street, where the defend-
ant did not make any charge against plaintiff, and the
latter was accordingly discharged.
The plaintiff, in support of his case, called Thomas
Fox, plaintiff's landlord, who only proved that defendant.
his servant, and other persons from defendant had
several times called for the ss. for the keep of the dog.
Samuel Gillman, a policeman, stated that at twenty
minutes past nine, on the 4th of September, the defend-
ant's servant called him ; that he went to defendant's
shop, and found the defendant and plaintiff outside the
shop-door. Defendant said plaintiff had been to his
shop and used abusive language. Witness asked " What
language ?" and defendant repeated the expressions to
him, and plaintiff did not deny having used them. De-
fendant asked witness whether he was justified in giving
plaintiffin charge for the abuse, and witness said "Yes."
On cross-examination witness said that defendant was
in the heart of his business at the time of his (witness)
being called. There was a crowd at the door. De-
fendant said plaintiff had called him a dog-stealer, and
that if the person who called on him for the ss. was not
His (defendant's) wife, it was his woman. Defendant
said if plaintiff would not annoy him, he might go.
Witness did not touch plaintiff.
William Moody, sergeant of police, said he was on
duty on the 4th of September last, at a quarter to ten,
when plaintiff and defendant came. He asked de-
fendant what charge he had to make. Defendant said
he wished plaintiff to explain what he meant by the lan-
guage he had used. Plaintiff would not explain. De-
fendant did not object to plaintiff being set at liberty.
Plaintiff seemed indifferent whether he stayed or went.
Defendant declined giving any charge.
Mr. CHADWICK JONES, for the defendant, in a very
impressive though somewhat humourous speech, explain-
ed to the jury the real circumstances of the case, that
early in May 1841, defendant found a little dog, kept it
and fed it, and took care of it. He had taken it to the
address on the collar, but plaintiff had left that place.
The defendant kept the dog three weeks, and subse:
quently found the owner, who at the time made great
protestations of gratitude, and promised to pay the 55.,
but afterwards neglected to do so. Plaintiff and his ser-
vant called for the sum several times, but it was even-
tually refused. The plaintiff came on the 4th Septem-
ber and conducted himself in the manner which had
caused this inquiry. The defendant was wrong in point
of law, and law only, and had been wrongly advised as to
the rightfulness in law of the charge by the policeman.
The SHERIFF was about to sum up, but the Jury, with-
out turning round in the box, said they had made up
their minds some time, and gave their verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Jose Joaquin Gonsolvo Besto, who has already under-
gone examination upon the charge made by Mr. Pinto,
of having stolen wine warrants which represent the value
of 5001., was again brought up. The Justice-room was
crowded with commercial men, and although in conse-
quence of some misunderstanding between the parties on
both sides, as to the hour appointed for the resumption
of the inquiry, and the absence of witnesses resulting
from that misunderstanding, no new evidence as to the
particular case was adduced, the prisoner's position
soon became a much more serious one than it was on
the last day's examination.
Mr. Simpson, solicitor to the financial agent to the
Government of Portugal said, the moment the prisoner
was placed at the bar, that he appeared upon the part
of the Agency to prefer a charge against M. Baste of
having stolen eight Portuguese bonds for 5001. each, with
which, as clerk to the financial agent, he was intrusted
for a certain purpose ; that as soon as it was discovered
that the bonds were missing, they were advertised, and
they were subsequently found to be in the possesion of
Mr. Jackson, of Piccadilly, who at once came forward
and gave every information he was possessed of with
the greatest readiness.
_ _

iii. Antonio de Peiba Parura da Silva, financial agent
to the Government of Portugal, Finsbury Chambers,
London-wall, stated that the prisoner had been tempo-
rary clerk in the employment of the agency, which was
considered as a national authority, and had been en-
trusted with a quantity of Portuguese Bonds which had
been sent to the financial agent for conversion. Witness
directed the prisoner to sort and describe in numerical
order a large number of ,the old Portuguese Bonds which
were to be cancelled, and the prisoner, instead of cancel-
ling, converted some of them to. his own use.
Mr. Harris, solicitor to Mr: Jackson, who;, it will be
recollected, was said to have advanced ,a sum of money
upon the wine warrants of. Mr. Pinto, stated that his
client would appear at two o'clock,
the time generally
supposed to have been appointed for re-commencing the
inquiry on the subject of the first charge. He (Mr. Har-
ris), however, thought it necessary to mention, in order
to prevent any
misconception in the absence of Mr. Jack-
son, that that gentleman had advanced 1,0001. upon the
bonds, which the Magistrate might, at thatmoment, exa-
mine, if he pleased so to do. It was also proper to state
that Mr. Jackson, the moment he saw the advertisement
about the bonds, let the financial agent of the Portuguese
Government know that he held them.
Mr. Simpson said he by no means meant to insinuate
that Mr. Jackson had not acted on the occasion with the
greatest propriety.
Mr. Harris then produced the bonds, and said no doubt
at all existed that a gross fraud had been committed upon
the agency office.

Mr. Sadgrove, solicitor to the prisoner, suggested the
propriety of hearing evidence before a conclusion was
come to against his client. He wished to know from the
witness under examination whether the bonds produced
were of any value?
111. da Silva replied they were not now of any value.
The coupons were cut ()Wand the bonds were cancelled.
Mr. Sadgrove—You would not have paid them then ?
M.
coupons: du Si!va—No. We pay only those with the
Sinlinon--They were abstracted by the prisoner
in a perfect state, with the coupons, which were after-
wards cut off. A person who does not understand the
form of these foreign securities is liable to be deceived as
vheer
smi
oany
onfetthke know the
those without coupons.
Alderman GIBBS who presided, asked when the con-
M. da Silva replied that it .
was made June.
Mr. Simpson—At what price were they quoted at that
dihetodoikireprie:naocee?between those with and
time?

M. da Silva—At about 291. or 30/. for every hundred.
Mr. Simpson—Were the bonds in question amongst
those delivered to the prisoner to be cancelled?
M. da Silva—In all probability they were.
Mr. Simpson--When the bonds were delivered to the
prisoner, were they
in a
301. in every 100/. ?
M. da Silva—They had the coupons attached.
perfect state and worth 291. or

Mr. Simpson—Where ought these bonds to be now ?
M. da, Silva—They ought to be cancelled as old ones,
and deposited with the other cancelled bonds.
Mr. Simpson—Have new bonds been given for old
ones at your office? M. da Silva—Yes, to the parties
who have brought them.
Alderman GIBBS—When did you discover that these
bonds were missing? M. da Silva—At the latter end
of August.
Alderman GIDDS—When did you discover where they
were? M. da Silva—l saw them in the hands of Mr.
Harris, the solicitor to Mr. Jackson, on Wednesday.
Mr. BODKIN, counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
CLARKSON, counsel for the prisoner, entered the Justice-
room while the solicitors were pursuing the investigation.
Mr. Simpson requested to know whether the counsel
for the prisoner would have any objections to call upon
Mr. Campbell to state what he knew upon the subject,
that gentleman having (as our reporter understood Mr.
Simpson) taken the bonds from M. Basto to Mr. Jackson.
Mr. Clarkson replied that he had no question to put
to Mr. Campbell at all. The prosecutor, of course,
might call upon that gentleman.
Mr. Bodkin—No; we shall not examine Mr. Campbell
as a witness now. The Learned Counsel then adverted
to the case about the wine warrants, and intimated that
it would be necessary to postpone both cases.
Mr. Clarkson agreed in the propriety of a postpone-
ment. He said he was perfectly aware that Alderman
Gibbs considered it proper to send the charge relative to
the wine warrants elsewhere for investigation, and he
knew that M. Basto would not be able to find secu-
rities for the large amount of bail required. He, there-
fore, could not object to a further postponement of the
inquiry.—The prisoner was then remanded.
GUILDHALL.

A respectable and interesting-looking young female,
about 25 years of age, named Maria Robinson, wasplaced
at the bar, on the charge of fraudulently obtaining a
quantity of books from Mr. Ewin, a bookseller, residing
in Cheapside.
It appeared that the prisoner called upon the com-
plainant, and ordered some books to the amount of 81. or
91., and desired them to be sent to her residence, when
she would pay for them. The porter was then sent, and
left the goods, but the prisoner made some excuse, and
got them from him without paying.
The prisoner, who wept bitterly during the investiga-
tion, protested that she had no intention of defrauding
the prosecutor.
The sitting Alderman said he had no course left but
to commit her for trial.
BOW-STREET.

George Watson and John Griffith were placed at the
bar before Mr. Twyford, on a charge of having, on
Thursday evening, in company with other persons, at-
tempted violently to obtain relief at the St. Giles's
workhouse.
It appeared, from the evidence of one of the officers of
the St. Giles's workhouse, of the name of Nicholas,
that on Thursday evening about forty workmen had ap-
plied for relief at the workhouse. Some of them had re-
ceived relief, and others had been refused it. The
parties afterwards assembled in front of the workhouse,
using violent language among themselves, and stating
that they should be relieved, and that they would not
otherwise leave the place. They then commenced
knocking at the door, and their conduct became so vio-
lent, that the authorities at the workhouse found it ne-
cessary to call in the police, by whom they were after-
wards dispersed.
Eliza Hall stated that she had seen the crowd assem-
bled in front of the workhouse. They appeared to be
all " navigators." The men said they should have bread,
and some of them made use of very improper language.
Mr. Richard Tucker, one of the overseers of the
Workhouse stated, that for the last fortnight they had
been besieged with applications for relief from persons of
the class of the prisoners—they were what were called
" excavators," or navigators." They had sometimes
60 or 70 of those applications on a night ; and it had at
length been found necessary by the relieving officers to
refuse relief in those cases. On Thursday the applicants
had assembled in front of the building, and continued shout-
ing, and hallooing, and crying out that they would not
leave the place until their wants were satisfied. The
police had been sent for, and dispersed them.
Mr. Edward. Baxter, an officer of the Strand Union,
stated, that fifteen or sixteen working men had obtained
relief at the Strand Union Workhouse on Thursday
morning, and the prisoner Griffith among the number.
There had been for some days forty or fifty of these
labourers travelling from workhouse to workhouse in the
metropolis applying for relief. By night they went to
the " Refuge" in the City, which was now open. The
witness expressed his belief that the opening of the
" Refuge " led to great abuse, inasmuch, as it attracted
crowds of destitute persons to the metropolis during the
winter.
Joseph Coles, another officer at the St. Giles's Work-
house, stated that he had also to bear witness to the
riotous conduct of the workmen. The prisoner Watson
had obtained relief there before, and the other prisoner
said that he would sooner pull down the house than retire
without being relieved.
The prisoner Watson said that he had merely been apply-
ing for relief, of which he was at the time much in need. He
had formerly been employed on the Dover Railway; but
he had had no work for the last two or three weeks. It
appeared that the other prisoner' was a blackimiih, who
had also been engaged in railway work..
Mr. TWYFORD said, that as both the, prri-ippers had been
parties to the riot at the workhouse, he should sentence
them to find bail at the County Sessions.
The prisoners were then removed.
John Coles was placedat the bar charged with having
maliciously hroken a window and a tablet of plate-glass,
in the house Of John 04raond, a coffeehouse keeper in
the Strand.
Police constable 146 stated that between four and five
o'clock on Thursday evening, he saw the prisoner throw
something from the corner of Southampton-street in the
direction of Mr. Osmond's coffee-house. He heard a
sound from the coffee-house as if of broken glass ; and
he then took the prisoner into custody.
It appeared from the evidence of the waiters that a
window and a tablet of plate glass had been broken at
Mr. Osmond's, at the hour stated by the policeman, by
the throwing of a penny-piece. The entire damage was
estimated at 20s.

Mr. TWYFORD ordered the prisoner to pay the amount
of the damage ; and payment having been made the
prisoner was discharged.
MARLBORO U G H-STREET.
_ _

Andrew Wholmes, a fine grown young man, about 18
years of age, whose connexions are very respectable, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, the presiding
Magistrate, on the following charge of robbery :
It appeared that the prisoner had been a confidential
servant in the employ of Mr. Brooks Bullock, of No.
37, Old Bond-street, wine merchant, and left his situation
about three months since. Between six and seven o'clock,
yesterday morning, the porter, on opening the cellar
heard a noise, which he at first supposed was made by a
cat, but which, after some time, he discovered to proceed
from the prisoner, whom he found asleep under a wine
truck. The prisoner afterwards confessed that he
secreted himself in the cellar overnight, without being
seen by any of the persons employed on the premises,
and that in the course of the night he opened the cash-
box with a key he had in his possession, while he was in
Mr. Bullock's employ, and possessed himself of the
money, intending to watch an opportunity of departing
unnoticed in the morning, on the cellars being opened.
It also appeared that if the prisoner had escaped, the
robbery, from the peculiar circumstances under which it
was committed, would have been imputed to the porter,
and that he would at least have been discharged from his
situation.

The mother of the prisoner, who was overwhelmed
with grief at the disgraceful situation her son was
placed in, begged on her knees of Mr. Hardwick to
show mercy to her son.
Mr. HARDWICK said the case was one of such an
aggravated nature that he felt himself bound to commit
the prisoner for trial.
LAMBETH-STREET.
DISTRESS IN SPITALFIELDS.—A poor Spitalfields
weaver, named Davis, whose appearance, as well as that
of his two children who accompanied him, betokened
the utmost wretchedness, applied to Mr. Norton for hiS
assistance under the following circumstances 2-,
The applicant stated that, owing to .the slacknesain
his trade, he was unable to procure employment, and,
after parting with every article of property of -which, he
was possessed, he applied to the parish of Spitalfields
for relief, and was sent to the stone-yard to break stones.
lie endeavoured to do as much as he possibly could at
this work, but such was the state to which he had been
previously reduced that all he could earn was Gd. a day,
besides being allowed a certain quantity of bread for
himself and his two children. This he continued for
three weeks, but finding that what he earned was not
enough to procure a lodging for himself and his children,
and that they were entirely subsisting, on bread and
water, which caused his health to be worse, he applied
to be taken into the workhouse, but was refused.
_ _

Mr. Hughes, the relieving officer of the parish of
Whitechapel, observed that there was a considerable
doubt whether the legal settlement of the applicant was
in the union at all.
The applicant replied that the fact of his belonging to
the parish of Spitalfields would be easily proved by his
being born in the workhouse, and also christened in the
parish. He add d that both himself and his children
were in a wretched state from not having changed a sin-
gle thing which they had on them for upwards of a month.
Mr. NORTON considered the case one of destitution,
and one which should have been treated differently in
his opinion to what it had. The parish stone-yard was,
he (Mr. Norton) understood, intended by the parish as a
test of destitution, and he thought it a tolerable proof
of the situation of the applicant that he had continued
to work there regularly for three weeks, and made every
effort to earn as much as he could. His children and
himself being allowed to go- for a month without
changing, was a state of things which should not be per-
mitted.

After some further remarks, Mr. Hughes said he would
take the applicant and his children into the workhouse.
WORSIIIP-STREE7'.
Wiliam Ashley and Dennis Sullivan were placed at
the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having been
found begging in the streets.
Police-constable N 98, produced a large square of
white canvass, on which was the inscription " Spital
fields weavers," and stated that he found the prisoners in
lloxton soliciting charity, , and one of them had the
canvass in his hands. They occasionally sang, and then
pleaded that they were two of the Spitalfields' weavers,
who were out of work. As he had frequently seen them
about the streets, he took them to the station-house.
Some of the officers of the Court said that they be-
lieved Ashley was a weaver.
Sergeant Palmer stated that Ashley gave the direc-
tion where he lived at No. 16, Gasooyne-street, Beth-
nal-green ; and that Sullivan said he lived in Went-
worth-street, Whitechapel.
Mr. BINGHAM observed that if they were in distress
they ought to apply to the Relieving Officer, and should
he not attend to them, he (Mr. Bingham) would take

care that they should be relieved. He knew that there
was a great deal of distress among the Spitalfields silk
weavers, to alleviate which some means were about to
be procured; but he could not allow persons to go through
the streets begging alms while support was to be had ac-
cording to the laws, as the benevolent were liable to be
imposed upon. He would now send them to their re-
spective parishes, and should he find that the account
they gave of themselves was false, he would send them
to pr►son. _

During the afternoon Ashley was brought back again
when

Christie, the relieving-officer of Bethnal-green, stated,
that for months past Ashley and two more men had been
representing themselves as distressed Spitalfields weavers.
He had offered Ashley repeatedly admission into the
Workhouse, with his wife, but he would never come in.
Sullivan, he has passed three times to Ireland, and their
other companion, who belonged to Edmonton, he had
passed seven times to that parish. He thought it his
duty to bring him, Ashley, before the Magistrate, in order
to expose the imposition.
Ashley was then sent to the House of Correction for a
month.

THAMES POLICE.
On Thursday Henry Shears, a seaman, lately paid off
from her Majesty's ship Britannia, at Portsmouth, was
brought before Mr. Broderip for final examination,
charged with robbing William Cullum, his shipmate, of
two 51. notes, a watch, and other property, between
Portsmouth and London.

The case was one of a very novel description, and the
evidence, which detailed the following facts, was gone
into at great length. The Britannia was paid off at
Portsmouth on the afternoon of Saturday, the 13th
inst. Shears, Cullum, and other sailors, 17 in number,
afterwards proceeded to Faraham in a coach and four,
and had some " fine sprees and skirmishes " on the
road. On reachingFarnham the tars had another spree,
and took in plenty of grog. Several loose women there
overhauled the sailors, and paid much attention
to Cullum, who at that time had three 5/. notes, two
sovereigns, besides silver, and a " bran new " silver
watch he purchased at Portsmouth, in his possession.
Some of the men-of-war's men were, however, cautious,
made the land sharks sheer off, and warned Cullum to
take care of his property. From Farnham the sailors
proceeded by railway to Vauxhall, where they all dined,
and got pretty well muddled with gin, stout, and ale.
After dinner many of them separated from the others
for the purpose of visiting their friends in various
parts of London. Shears, Cullum, and three
other seamen hired a hackney coach at Vauxhall,
to convey them to the house of Cullum's parents
in Artillery-street, Bishopsgate, and they stopped at
several grog-shops to victual and water, as the wit-
nesses termed it. On reaching the city end of London-
bridge one man, whose friends lived in another direc-
tion, left his shipmates, and William Johnson, Cullum's
intimate friend, and another seaman, named John Cain,
left the coach for a short time to assist their shipmate to
hoist his hammock, chest, and kit on the top of a cab,
leaving Cullum, who was tipsy and fast asleep, and the
prisoner sitting opposite each other. It was at this
period the robbery is supposed to have been committed.
Cain and Johnson rejoined their shipmates, and about
four o'clock on Sunday afternoon they made the
" safe harbour" of Artillery-street, and were set
down at the house occupied by Cullum's parents.
Here the seamen drank some raw spirits, and the pri-
soner, after remaining there a short time, left his ship-
mates and said he was going home to join his wife in
Ratcliff. He had not been many minutes away before
Cullum, who was half dozing, felt in his pockets for his
watch and money, and found he had been robbed of
every farthing, and that his " bran new watch" was also
gone. Johnson suspected that Shears had been larking
with his friend, and had taken Cullum's watch and
money without any intention of appropriating either
to his own use, and proceeded to Ratcliff in search
of him. He found the prisoner in the house of a
respectable tradesman, named Watson, in London-
' street, Ratcliff, and told him he had come down for
Cullum's property, which he had taken charge of. Shears
pretended ignorance of his meaning, and asked what
things were meant. Johnson replied, " Those things of
Bill Cullum's." The prisoner said, "Oh 1 the watch."
Johnson answered, " Yes, the watch and the money
too ; you have got both." The prisoner asked Mr.
Watson for a watch he had given into his care, which
proved to be Cullum's, and it was delivered into John-
son's hands. He then demanded the money, which the
prisoner denied having. Johnson told him to overhaul
his pockets, which he did, but no money was forth-
coming. Shears was then given into custody. It was
proved by Johnson and Cain that Cullum had his
watch and money safe on leaving the Railway in ter-
minus at Vauxhall, and that while he was the
hackney-coach, between that place and London-bridge,
the prisoner said the watch would'nt go, on which
Cullum held it close to the prisoner's ear and
told him to hear it tick. It also appeared that when he
delivered the watch into Mr. Watson's care he did not
say it belonged to his shipmate. The police had been
unable to trace the sailor's notes, and no money corres-
ponding with that taken from Cullum was found upon
the prisoner. _ _

Mr. Hodgson, the solicitor who appeared for the pri-
soner, cross-examined the seamen, and said, the watch
was given to the prisoner to take care of, and it was pro-
bable some of the loose women at > Farnham had taken
his money.
Johnson—Avast there; Sir, he had his notes and gold
safe when he came out of 'the boxes on that railway at
Vauxhall.
Mr. BRODARIP Tekrettea that the poor fellow had lost
the whole of, his katd earnings, and committed the pri-
soner for trial.

THE MARKETS.-YESTERDAY

CORN EXCHANGE.

The foggy weather ocasioned the supplies of Grain
to be short this week. The Trade since Monday has
been devoid of interest. All articles that were in good
condition maintained Monday's value, but to effect sales
of other qualities less prices were taken. Flour very
dull in sale.
