was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with illegally
pawning the materials fo:r 8 shirts entrusted to her to
make up by a Jew mu ied Alexander Abrahams, a
"shirt factor," of No. 31, .Nest/-road, Whitechapel.
The prosecutor, who entered the witness-box in great
haste, said that he entrust ed the prisoner with the ma-
terial of 8 shirts to be made cup. She bad not returned

duplicates, relating to shirts w blsh had been pawned.
The prisoner said she pawn et; the goods because she
was in distress.

Mr. Ysrdley said the prose vatlr gars his evidence in
a very jaunty manner, and i a. a way that he did not
like at all. He wished that pawnbroker; would not
take in slop work of the poor and wretched women in-
trusted with materials. An i rrtmense deal of misery was
caused by the practice. He •would advise the prisoner
to see her husband, and ask him to redeem the shirts
from the pawnbrokers, and tbuere would be an end of the

Roche, the gaoler—She Ecqs it is 18 months old. It
is still sucking at the breast.

Mr. Yardley—l must order that child to be taken
from you. I don't know what the consequences may be,
but I am compelled by the races and reiu!ations of the
prison you are going to to take it from you. •
The prisoner begged that she might not be dertived
of her infant.

Mr. Yardley—l, there any one here who will take
care of it?

The Prisoner —No, sir.

Mr. Yardley—The police-constable must convey the
child to the workhouse.

The child having been taken from the prisoner she
was locked up in the cell of the police court. Half an
hour afterwards Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said all
the shirts bad been restored to the prosecutor by the
pawnbroker, and Mr. Yardley ordered the prisoner to
be discharged.

NEWS.—(This ray.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Rather increased supplies of Eoglish wheat have been
received np to our market this week coastwise; but the
show of samples in, to-day's ;osrket was very moderate.
For all kinds we had a dull inquiry, and Monday's prices
were with difficulty supported.
Over 30,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come tohand
this week. There was scarcely any demand for this article,
the value of which was almost nominal.

The barley trade ruled heavy. at Monday's currency.
The malt trade was very dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.

Fine old oats sold slowly, at late rates ; hut new quail-
Les were very dull, and quite 6,-1 per qr lower,
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in veins.
