WOOL.

The past week's imports of Wool into London bare
been on a liberal scale, via., 283 bales from Odessa, 26
ditto from Gibraltar, 1,400 ditto from Port Phillip, 300
ditto from the Cape, 1,600 ditto from Algoa Bay, 300
ditto from Hamburgh, 2,215 ditto from South America,
and 19 ditto from Smyrna. Really fine qualities of
English and Colonial Wools have moved off steadily by
private contract, at full prices. In other kinds we hare
very few sales to report.
TALLOW.

Although there is more inclination on the part of the
chandlers to get into stack than for some weeks past,
the amount of business transacted since this day se'n-
night has not been very extensive. A few sales have
taken place at a trifle more money. P.Y.C. on the spot
is 46s 6d to 46s 9d, and for delivery 45s 3d per cwt.
Town Tallow is 47s 6d to 48s 6d per cwt ; rough fat, 2s
9d per 81bs.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS).
FORGERY.—Francis Thomas Griffiths, aged twenty,
a clerk, a respectable-looking young man, was in-
dicted for feloniously forging an order for the payment
of 1151. 10s. with intent to defraud the London
Joint Stock iank.
Mr. BODKIN, with whom was Mr. RYLAND, stated
the case for the prosecution, and from his observations
it appeared that the prisoner was, up to the year
1845, a clerk in the service of Mr. West, a jeweller,
on Ludgate-hill, and had, therefore, opportunities of
seeing him write, and knowing the manner in which
he drew his cheques on his bankers, the London Joint-
stock Bank, there being reason to suspect the prisoner
of committing the offence, the present charge was
brought against him. Since leaving Mr. West the
prisoner had been in the service of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company, but had since left. The Learned
Counsel called
.the following witnesses in support
of the charge :
Edward Chilnian, a clerk in the London Joint-
stock Bank, stated that on the 15th of August a letter
was brought to the bank, requesting a cheque-book,
purporting to be from Mr. West, of Ludgate-hill.
Witness believing the writing to be Mr. West's, gave
the party bringing the note a cheque-book, l'co.
24,832.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLA/ITINE, who appeared
for the prisoner—lf he had not been told by Mr.
West that the writing of the note was not his he
should, at the present moment, believed it to be so,
and have given the cheque-book.
Mr. Kaye, a clerk in the London Joint-Stock
Bank, stated that on the 16th of August a cheque for
1151. was brought to the bank purporting to come
from Mr. West, who banked with the house. Wit-
