to the possession of a person at Guildford, who had pur-
chased part of the clothes of the prisoner.
The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. -

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Genus.),
COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Margaret Murphy, aged 20,
R. ho was found guilty of uttering counterfeit coin last
to 3sion, was brought up to receive sentence.

The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said the case
w as one of the most aggravated nature. She was a ser-
vs at in a public house, and whilst in that capacity she
lrged a person in the habit of frequenting her master's
ko Ise with having tendered a bad shilling, and he was
gat en into custody on the charge. Whilst before
the magistrate she swore to receiving the shilling, but it
subsequently shown that she exchanged a good
s: pilling which she received for a bad one which it ap-
p eared she had in her possession, thus committing the
d. inble crime of uttering counterfeit coin and committing
perjury, to the serious injury of an innocent person. She
wt is sentenced to ten months' hard labour in the House
oft let trrection.
ST] ALING CORN AND CHAFF.— William Hart, aged
45, a labourer, was charged with stealing, on the 25th
of scptember, five bushels of corn and chaff, value
7s. exi., the property of Mr. Edward Maxwell, of Enfield,
his employer.
It appeared that the prisoner had been employed by
the prosecutor as a carter since June, and that between

towards Edmonton. It appeared that the prisoner had
no right to take more chaff than would fill four nose-
bags, and that he had no right to take any in a sack.
Mr. DOANE defended the prisoner, and contended that
he might have taken more chaff than was necessary
without the intention of purloining any of it. The evi-
dence was insufficient to support the charge.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
At the conclusion of this case a pause of about an
hour ensued. The business of the session seems to be
proceeding at a snail's pace. The Learned Gentlemen
and some of the jury complained that the court was
insufferably cold; we have found it intensely so. Two
or three different degrees of heat and cold generally per-
vade the court at the same time; the limbs are generally
in a pleasant state of heat, whilst the upper part of the
body is almost perished with cold, a great coat being
most acceptable. Something ought really to be done to
promote at least the comfort of those who are compelled
to attend the court for many hours together.
William Thomas Poyser, 42, bootmaker, was indicted
for a misdemeanour, in obtaining from Mary Wood-
, house the sum of 201. by false pretences.

James Fling-, aged 19, was indicted for stealing a

Policeman 84 L was passing the house about a quarter
before five o'clock in the morning, when he heard a
rattling inside the house, and observed that the door
was open. After whistling and calling, without obtain-
ing any answer, he entered the premises of No. 1, in
company with his comrade, 83 L. They found the pri-
soner on the stairs, who immediately ran up to the roof,
and they caught him on the top of the next house. A
quantity of lead was found cut off ready for carrying
away, and the copper was removed from its setting also
ready for departure.
The other policeman confirmed this evidence.

rom the London New Price Current of October 27.)
SUGAR.—To-day there were numerous purchasers of every
description of West India Muscovado Sugar for grocery and
refining purposes, and many orders were in the market for
the outports, but the high prices insisted upon by importers
tended to check operations, still a good business was transacted,
and at prices showing a rise on those of Friday of 6d per cwt for
all sorts. The purchases amounted to 460 hhds and trcs,
including at public sale 127 hhds and 8 trcs Barbadoes,
which went with spirit at a rise on the rates of the last
auction of fully 6d per cwt,-low yellow bringing 47s to 48s,
middling 48s 6d to 508 6d, good 5 ts 6d to 52s Gd, and fine at
53s to 53s Gd per cwt. The market closes stiffly for every
kind of Sugar available for home consumption.
REFLNED.— To-day refined goods were much in request,
and further advanced rates offered, but few parcels are to be
met with. Standard lumps according to quality fetched
66s to 66s 6d, and brown grocery 64s to 655. In Bonded
Crushed Sugar only a moderate business was done at 32s 6d
per cwt for first quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
attention, and 1,194 bags at auction sold at rather higher
rates, good grainy yellow syrupy at 49s to 50s, and drainage
damaged 50s 6d per cwt. Privately several parcels have
been sold.

The prisoner stated, that seeiPg the house-door open
the previous night he had entered to shelter himself
from the weather ; that being suddenly awoke he fled
up stairs without thought.

lived in a positicn of great respectability and comfort,
but at his death she had nothing but a small annuity to
support herself and fire children. It appeared that she
entertained an idea that she was entitled to some pro-
perty as the descendant of a gentleman named Stokes,
and the prisoner was introduced to her as a person likely
to assist her in the recovery of it, and he had, it ap-
poared, by artful representations that he was in commu-.
nication with a barrister, whom he described as Mr.
Fitzgerald Strathern, and that the money and property
would all be recovered, induced the prosecutrix not
only to give all the money- she could raise by other
means, but actually to sell', the little annuity which was
her stile dependence, and she was in consequence reduced
almost to a state of destitutiiin.
Mrs. Mary Woodhouse deposed that she resided at
Nottingham, and was a widow with five children. At her
husband's death she was left with an annuity of
thirty pounds a year to support herself and family.
She had reason to believe that she was entitled
to some property at Nottingham that 'had belonged to
a person named Stokes, and in June, 1845, the prisoner
was introduced to her as being likely to assist her in
making out her claim. From this time she continually
gave him money, end he represented that he was in com-
munication with Mr. Fitzgerald Strathern, a barrister in
Lincoln's Inn-fields, who,he said, was carrying her case
through the Court, and he repeatedly showed her letters
purporting to be written by that gentleman detailing the
progress of the suit. Upon one occasion he stated that the
barrister wanted 201. to take the matter into the Court of
Chancery, and she gave him that sum. He wascontinually
asking her for money, and on her telling him that she
had a difficulty in borrowing it from her friends, the pri-
soner told her that she had got an annuity and she ought
to sell that, and not be beholden to any one for the money
that was necessary to recover her fortune. In one of the
letters the prisoner showed her, the barrister appeared to
give a description of the property, and represented that
there were 500,000/. in the funds, besides estates ; and
after this she consented to sell her annuity, and nearly
the whole of the proceeds went into the hands of the
prisoner, in order to assist in the prosecution of the pre-
tended suit. At length, she said, a letter was received
from the barrister, in whicli it was stated that the whole
matter was settled, and she would immediately come into
possession of her property, but that 501. were required to
expedite the proceedings, and this sum she also gave the
prisoner; and it was arranged that they were to go up
to London the next day, and have the sum of 490,000/.,
which was said to be in the funds, transferred to her
name.—(A laugh.)
The stewards from the different Inns of Court were
called to prove that there was no barrister nemed
Strathern belonging to either of them, and it was clearly
shown that the statements of the prisoner were all false,
and were merely made for the purpose of deceiving the
pros, tutor, and defrauding her of her money.
The prisoner, in his defence, made a long rambling
statement, and asserted that the prosecutrix had been
laid hold of by.some people at Nottingham, who called
themselves spiritual illuminati, avid who were in the
habit of making use of a glass, and pretended magic,
and had led the prosecutrix by these means to believe
that she was entitled to large property, and it was them
who had induced her to dispose of her annuity, and not
him. He denied having made any representation that
he had employed a barrister, and asserted that he had
not received any money from the prosecutrix except to
pay his expenses when he was making inquiries for her
in London.
The Recorder having summed up, the jury immedi-
ately returned verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE, on passing sentence, told the pri-
soner that he had been convicted of a very bad offence.
It had been proved that he had imposed upon a weak
and credulous woman in the belief that she was to come

DELAYS OF THE GRAND JURY.—The jury in the Old
Court, Mr. Commissioner Bullock, and the Aldermen and
Sheriffs, assembled shortly after nine o'clack this morn-
ing, but it was half-past ten o'clock before the grand
jury returned two bills, thus enabling the Court to pro=
ceed with the public business, those returned yesterday
having been exhausted. It was almost eleven o'clock be-
fore either of the cases could be proceeded with, as some
of the petty jury had applied to Mr. Commissioner
Bullock for leave to absent themselves for half an hour,
which was granted.

Mr. Bush (of the firm of Bush and Mullins), called
witnesses to prove the handwriting of the prisoner
Villiers Pearce.

Mr. Young, of No. 13, Bloomsbury-square, solicitor,
stated that to the best of his belief letters addressed to
the Marchioness of Queensberry, Mrs. Wilberforce, and
others, and now put in, were in the handwritity, of
Pearce. He believed that the handwriting in the body
of the cheques was his.
The prisoner admitted the letters, but denied that the
cheques were written by him.
Mr. Weller, who attended for him, recommended him
to be silent, and leave the case in his adviser's hands.
Other witnesses were examined to the same effect.
Pearce protested against their evidence being received,
as he denied that they had had sufficient means of know-
ing his handwriting.
The prisoners were committed for trial.

In i nsuch
a
mak-
ing these observations he might also remark that this
was the opinion of many of the metropolitan police ma-
gistrates. The next mubject he should refer to was one
which had been lately before the public rather promi-
nently,—he meant the system of corporal punishments
inflicted in some of the metropolitan prisons upon young
Offenders; and he could assure the gentlemen of the
grand jury that with respect to this species of punish-
ment, so far as the gaols in the county of Middlesex were
concerned, no such thing as flogging with the cat was al-
lowed, as was the habit n those of some of the adjacent
counties.
The magistrates of this country were adverse
i
to the system of flogging with the cat, but whenever it
was found Advisable that punishment should be inflicted
of thisdescription a birch rod was always used. He had
not himself made up his mind as yet whether even pu-
rushment with a birch rod might not be advantageously
dispensed with; there were some cases where it might
prove useful, and in others the reverse, but he had made
it an invariable rule,
whenever he did order such a pu-
nishment, to define most distinctly the instrument with
which it was to be inflicted.

new buildings around the suburbs, and the jury having
returned a verdict of Guilty, the Assistant-Judge sen-
tenced the prisoner to four months imprisonment, and
intimated that if he or any of the same gang came there
again they would be transported.

John Douglas, 24, Churah-lane, said he had been at a,
raffle in Grafton-street, and was returning after one
o'clock that morning, in company with a friend, and their
uives.' In Tottenham-court-road they wished to have
some beer, and leaving their wives at the door of a pub-
lic-house, went in themselves, but they had not been
long within when they heard screams outside. They
ran out and saw' the defendants, with several others,
abusing their wives. They made towards them, but
before he was aware he was knocked down, Felts
struck him severely before and after he was down, and
one of them kicked him on the head.

FOREIGN.—There has been a considerable increase in the
demand for Manilla Sugar for home consumption, and a rise
in the value of Is. per cwt. has occuried. Java has
been in excellent request by private contract, and brought
prices 6d to is per cwt above those previously current.
China Las met with more attention, and an improvement
in the value has taken place. All kinds of Brazil have been
in much better request, and brought rather higher rates.
None has been offered at auction. Havannah of all sorts
has met with more attention, and prices are improving. For
other kinds of Foreign the market has an improving appear-
ance, and the supply is on the decrease. Foreign for exporta-
tion is held for the former currency, but there are few pur-
chasers for any description on the spot.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was abundantly
supplied with Bengal Sugar, and seven parcels, amounting
to 11,400 bags, were offered at public sale, but the trade were
eager purchasers, and the whole sold at prices showing an
advance on those of Friday of 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased with
more freedom, and 3,033 bags at public sale were nearly all
disposed of at full rates, and in some cases even rather above.
CINNAMON.—The quarterly sales of Cinnamon have gone
oil with more spirit than any during the year, and a large
proportion sold ; in fact nearly all of good quality found
ready buyers ; the superior first and second sorts at an ad-
vance of 3d to 4d per lb, and superior 3d sort Id to 2d per
lb on the p ices of the last sales ; the inferior qualities of 2d
and 3d sorts are still neglected, an d much remained unsold.
SPIRMS.—There has been little desire evinced to operate
in Leeward Island, and prices assumed a downward ten-
dency. East India is wanted at previous rates, but the stock
is nearly all in second hands. Jamaica has not improved in
value, but the home and export demand has been good at
previous rates..' Deinerara is held with firmness, but there has
been only a limited business transacted ; the quantity Sold not
exceeding 100 puns at 3s 3d to 3s 4d for 32 to 34 per cent.
Brandy has been in excellent _request for actual consump-
tion, and prices rule firm. The deliveries are on the in-
crease. For Corn Spirits the demand is as brisk as ever, and
prices 'are very firm ; the Distillers have more orders on
hand than they wilt be able to execute for some time. We
quote-English at lOs 9d nett cash, Scotch and Irish 102 8d
to lOs 9d per gallon.
SPICES.—To-day Malabar Pepper met with lesi demand,
and 1,798 bags at auction were only in part sold at the former
value.

SURREY SESSIONS.
The sittings were resumed yesterday morning before
Mr. Puckle and other magistrates.
John Mott, a labourer, was indicted for stealing a pair
of trousers and other articles from the house of a person
named Gosden, at Walton-on-Thames. He pleaded
Not guilty.
James Gosden, the prosecutor, stated that on Monday
morning, the 14th of September, he left his house in
charge of his five children, and, on his return in the
afternoon, he found one of the windows open, and missed
a waistcoat and pair of trousers from a box in his bed-
room, which he now identified in Court as his property.
The property was subsequently traced, through the in-
strumentality of Charles lioniugton, of the rural police,

William Ward, who was also assaulted by the pri-
soners, corroborated Douglas's evidence.
Police-constable E 166 saw Felts knock Douglas's
head against the rails. The defendants, who said the
complainants had been the first to insult them, were
ordered to pay 31., or go to prison for six weeks.
Maria Jane Bellinger was brought up this morning,
attired as a dashing young naval lieutenant.
William Masset, police-constable C 92, said he saw the
prisoner about a quarter before three o'clock that morn-
ing in Oxendon•street, Haymarket, accosting several
gentlemen, and turning them round. They expressed
their suspicion to him that the defendant was a woman,
and as she repeated this annoyance to others, he took
her into custody. He said he knew her, but she was
generally very quiet.
The defendant, in consequence of her usual quietness,
was dismissed.

TEA.—In the middle part of last week there was a good
business transacted in Black and Green Tea ; the rates paid
were rather above those previously current for the former;
but holders were unable to obtain any advance for the latter,
on account of the large quantity on offer.
Hors.—Holders for the most part are unwilling to submit
to any further reduction in prices, but there lids been only a
limited business transacted, and the quantity of all sorts of
Hops at market is yet large.. The duty for the Kingdom is
estimated at 220,000 L

Oits.—The market has still an improving appearance for
Seal Oil, large purchases have been made, and a further ad-
vance in prices has taken place. Sodtbern of all descrip-
tions have been much sought after, and the supply at market
being on the decrease, a further advance in the value has oc-
curred. 'ln Cod a good business has been done, and prices are
fia proving, there not being sellers under 27/. Sperm has been

in extensive request, and a considerable advance fi as again taken
place in prices ;'the supply being On the decrease, and 'the
consumption getting even greater. Of Fish Oils none have
been offered at auction since this day, week, and the arrivals
during that time were unimportant,• whereas the deliveries
are good. The market has decidedly an improving appear-
ance for Fish Oils, and stocks in first as well as seeond
hands are small. Of Cocoa Nut, the supply being inadequate to
the wants of the trade, a further improvement has taken place.
The supply is less than it was last season, and the consump-
tion greater. Palm met with eager purchasers; the stock is
diminishing, and prices are rising. American Lard Oil' has
not attracted much notice by private contract, and 100 casks
at auction were taken in at 38s per cwt. Rape Seed Oil hai
further declined in value, but the demand has been brisker
during the last few days. The consumption is going on
satisfactorily, and likely so to continue. In Olive there
has been a good deal done, holders evince much firmness,
88' the stock is diminishing, and -the consumption
going on largely. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request
by the home trade on the spot, and many purchases have
been made for exportation, chicti% for America; prices ad-
vanced from 25s to 25s 3d per cwt, although the crushers
are working freely. For forward delivery several contracts
have been entered into at 25s 6d. The consumption of Lin-
seed Oil is even greater than it was last year.
TALLOW.—Although prices rule high for every kind of
Tallow, still the home are inclined to further increase their
stocks, as arrivals are small, and far from sufficient for
the consumption. Russian on the spot has met with a
ready sale for soap and candle-making purposes, and further
advanced rates have been obtained, fine Petersburg!' yellow
Candle bringing 50s 6d per cwt. For forward delivery a
good business has been transacted.. Of Town Tallow there
is not sufficient for the wants of the trade, and the market
:bas been again cleared at further advanced rates.
All other sorts of Tallow meet with a brisk sale Privately
and must again be quoted higher.
