CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(B-fore the IiEcoRDEFt.)
AsBIULTDIG THE POLICE.— Georye Hewlett, aged 30,
described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
wounding William Curtis, a police-constable, with intent
to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantine defended the prisoner.
On the night of the 3d of May the policeman was on
duty at Bromley, in Middlesex, when he heard a noise
in the neighbourhood of the High-street, and on hasten.
inr, thither he found the prisoner and others fighting.
He' tried to part them, but failed to do so, and in the
course of the scufiLl the prisoner got possession of the
constable's staff, and struck him"down. Ho then hur-
ried home and retired to rest, but some six or seven
other members of the force went in pursuit and traeked
him to his very bed. He, however, refused to get up
and to dress himself, and the six or seven policemen,
according to their own account, had to drag him out
and convey him to the station-house in a state of
nudity. Toe defence set up was, that the policeman
was the aggressor in the first instance; indeed, he was
pirtially drunk at the time the disturbance took place,
and rushing in amongst the mob, he laid his truncheon
about him right and left, without reference to the
skulls it fell upon. Evidence was produced to show
that the constable had been drinking at the Victoria
public-house the whcle night, in company with many
of those who took part in the disturbance, and that
he was as much to blame as the prisoner.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common
assault only, but the Court deferred passing judgment.

DIIGRACEPUL ELOPEMENT.-0n MOriday after
last it was discovered that Mr. Pincott,master of the Nation noon
al
School, Portsea, had eloped wi,h Miss White, the mist'ess of
the same school, the heartless husband leaving behind him a
wile with six children, she being enceinte. What adds to the
criminality of the affair is the fact that the wretched girl,
who was authorised to draw 1001. from the Savings Bank, by
her mother, has robbed her parant of that amount, in order
to enrich her paramour. Letters were received yesterday
morning by Airs. White, from both Pincott and his compa-
nion, in which they state that they are on their way to
Australia, although this is doubted by the relations of the
parties.—Portsmouth Guardian.

CORK,
The trade in wheat during the week, notwithstanding. qui'
very numerous arrivals from abroad; most of which still lie in
our harbour, has been firm and buoyant. Indian corn, bow"
g ever, large quantities of which, in a damaged condition, are on
the mat ket, is dull at declinin rates. The supply of bon
grain continues to fall off. The entire receipts for the wee?
amount 0) only :—Wheat, 43 brls ; oats, '244 brls. Prices
remain unchanged. In prime foreign wheat a considerable
busine,s has been done, and the prices asked last week be"
been readily given this week. We quote the advance from the
lowest point fully Is per quarter. Of Egyptian also sorne4l6i 1.1
have been made at 17s 6d per barrel, which is an improvement
6d per barrel on the last quotations made. Long prices la
being sought for oats, as high as 138 per barrel baying been
asked for black. We do not know, however, of any sales
having been made at that figure. and we cannot, therefore,
alter our quotations of last week. In tine flour a large business
has been done at an advance of 6d per cwt. Coarse descrlf,'
firms continue in good request at prices varying little frog
those lately obtained. Indian corn, in the faced the lee
arrivals to this port, and the quantity of damaged on the flier:
ket, and influenced also by the splendid prospects of the potato
crop, has declined in value, and is a slow and dragging '....*
We quote yellow corn at 71 10s to 71 12s d, white 71s 4
