CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Baron ALDERSON.)
The Court was occupied all the morning with cases of
petty larceny, which were destitute of any interest whatever.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
The Hon. George Percy Sydney Smythe, M.P., 68, Henley-
street, accompanied by Lord Manners, A. D. R. Cochrane,
Esq., M.P. for Bridport, and H. J. Baillie, Esq., M.P. for In-
verness-shire, appeared before Mr. Bingham, in answer to a
summons charging him with inciting Lord Viscount Pol-
lington to commit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel.
In consequence of his Parliamentary duties Viscount Pol-
lington was not able to be in attendance, but Mr. BINGHAM
thought that the justice. of the case would be met if he called
upon the hon, defendant to find bail, himself in 500/., and
two sureties in the like sum, to keep the peace for twelve
menthe towards all her Majesty's subjects,
.Hail was immediately offered and accepted .when the par-
ties thanked the Magistrate and retired.
Thomas Kerne and Citaths Kerne, two respectably-dressed
young men, were placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with
Creating A diatvabance and assaulting Edward Towers, at
cheating
11.4 fit eoiree-house, Bath-street, New-road. It appeared
Iftwn the evidence, that on the previous morning between
the hours of one and two, the defendants, accompanied by two
others, not in cuctody, entered the complainant's house and
called for tin Abundant supply of coffee, bread, butter, and
egg.,, which, after being supplied with, they refused to pay
for nuless they were served with a further quantity. Com-
plainant doubting the honesty of their intentions
roused to serve them, and said if they left
the house in a quiet manner, he would let them
go wit bout paving. The prisoners' companions
took the hint and made off as fast as they could: but the
prisoners refused to go, and said they would see the com-
d—d first, and they would stop as long as they
liked. As an earnest of their intentions, they began to tear
up the tables and break the cups and saucers. Complainant
remonstrated with them, and did all he could to get them to
leave the place, but instead of taking his advice they knocked
him down and kicked him several times. They were pro-
ceeding to further acts of violence, when the arrival of a
police-constable put an end to their pranks, by conveying
them to " durance vile."
The prisoners, who denied the charge, were fined 10s. each
or coven days to the House of-Correction, for the assault, in
addition to 14s. Od. for the damage done to complainant's
property.

T WATT E S.
MWonald, a ship joiner, was brought up for final
examination, charged with the wilful murder of his wife,
Agnes M•Donald.
The facts of the case have been so recently before the
public, both in the police•reports and the proceedings at the
coroner's inquest, that it will suffice to state that the exa-
mination of several witnesses proved that the deceased and
her husband were addicted to drinking, and that M'Donald
had been frequently seen to kick and beat his wife. On
Saturday, the, Bth inst., a quarrel took place between
them, and the man beat and kicked his wife in so savage a
manner that she had to be removed to the London Hospital,
where she subsequently died from the effects of the injuries
she had received.

The additional evidence this day was that of the prisoner's
son, a lad about eight years of age, who on the former exa-
mination was not admitted to give evidence, but by direction
of the magistrate had in the interim been placed in th•
workhoueo, under the instruction of the chaplain. The poor
little fellow seemed quite unconscious of the affecting
position in which he was placed. The substance of his tes-
timony was, that on the evening in question his father hit
his mother on the nose; that she afterwards fell down, when
Ile jumped upon her, and kicked her several times.
Mr. Nash, the house-surgeon at the London Hospital, also
icposed that on the morning the deceased died she said it
was her husband that did it. He described the appearances
presented on the post mortem examination. The body was
covered with blood and bruises, the cartilage of the nose
separated, the legs much bruised, the vessels of the brain
were much congested, her bowels were ruptured, and two of
her ribs were broken.

The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was fully
committed on the capital charge.

WORSHIP STREET.

Yesterday morning, Hayward, a warrant officer of the court,
addressing Mr. Broughton, the sitting Magistrate, said that
he had obeyed his instructions in making the necessary in.
gulrifts respecting the melancholy case which was brought
before his notice a few days since by Mr. Coast, a relieving-
ellicer of the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and had,
found that it had not been in the slightest degree exagge-
rated. The particulars thereof are as follow :
Mr. Coast, in appealing to Mr. Broughton, said he did so
on behalf of an unfortunate individual named llsrshall, who
had lately become a bankrupt, ano his wife. Upon viiitirg
then he found that they were both lying upon a sick bed,
Marshall being laid up with the rheumatic gout and other-
wise seriously ill; and his wife, who was lying by his side,
quite blind and labouring under a spasmodic affection. Thcre
was no other furniture in the room but the bed and bed-
stead, which had been sent to them by some kind neigh-
bours, their own, notwithstanding their dreadfully afflicted
state, having been taken from under them, under, the fiat of
bankruptcy, and they were thus left with nothing Gut the
• bare walls and the flooring.
Mr. BooncriToN, in alluding to the circumstances con-
nected with this almost unparalleled case of crhelty, said
that he felt confident that no body of creditors would have
sanctioned such a proceeding, and it was a case, he hoped,
that would come before the public. He should order a
sovereign from the poor-box to be immediately sent to the
unhappy individuals.
It was stated that Mrs. Marshall had given birth to no
fewer than twenty-four children, several of whom are, how-
ever, dead, and the others have families of their own.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.).
CORN EXCHANGE.
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat for ear
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample,
were on a very limited scale; those of all other articles Of
home produce, including Flour, unusually small. The re"
ceipts from Ireland and Scotland were extremely limited.
From abroad, however, the imports of Wheat, Barley, Oat",
and Flour were liberal; those of other grain very uniz"
portant. Fresh up to-day the supply of Wheat from Essex,
Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., was extremely small, hence the
show of samples of both red and white was smaller than on
many previous market days. This falling off in the aren't,
together with the large attendance of both "It
and country buyers, caused the holders of all kinds of
Wheat to be very firm, and the trade must be considered
very brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday
last, of from FIVE to SIX SHILLINGS Pan QUARTER, at which
amount of improvement the whole of the supply was cleared
off. The best samples of English White sold freely at front
one hundred and nine to one hundred and sixteen shillings ?II
quarter ! This is the highest point of value realised for a
long series of years, and there is every prospect of a fuel°
rise in the quotations. Although the imports of Foreign
Wheat last week were upwards 0f12,000 quarters, the quantLiti
of that description of grain on offer was small, owing to faire"b.,
cargoes having been taken afloat for the French and BOP*"
markets. The trade was again very brisk, at an improve'
resent on last Monday's rates of from FIVE to SIX 3111L112"r".
PER QUARTER, and very few parcels were unsold at the close
of business. We had a large quantity of foreign Barley on
show, but that of home growth was trifling. All kinds corn'
mended a very steady inquiry, at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, last week's currencies. The show of Malt
was limited, while the demand for that article was veil
steady at, in some instances, is per quarter more money.
Upwards of 34,000 quarters of Foreign Oats came in
week; and the supply on offer to-day was good; yet the
trade was very steady, at fully the late advances in the
quotations. Very few Beans were on show. Most kinds
sold readily, at late rates. Peas moved off firmly, at eS"
treme prices. Indian Corn was held at 2s per quarter more
money. The Flour trade was firm, but we can notice no
further improvement in value.
