SToCX EXCHANGE. - The Railway Market continues un-
satisfactory; and, so far as London is concerned, it is inferred
that speculation has been considerably damped by the recent
high charges of interest for continuations. To-day business
was no better than it has been for some days past. The
market was extiemelely inactive. The only transaction we
heard of as effected on 'Change was Midland (Birmingham
and Derby), 36 ; but other sales were made in private, of
which no report was

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
William Griffin, a young man of respectable appearance,
surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of assaulting
Maria Palmer,
Mr. Huddestone conducted the prosecution on behalf of
the South-Eastern: Railway Company; Mr. Ballantine and
Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant.
The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, said that the
directors of the South-Eastern Railway had felt it their duty
to institute this prosecution on account of the assault im-
puted to the defendant having been committed upon a person
in humble circumstances, who was at the time a traveller in
one of their trains. They felt that a person in such a posi-
tion was entitled to receive protection front every description
of insult and annoyance; and upon the facts coming to their
knowledge they considered it their duty to take care that the
matter should be investigated by a jury.
The particulars of the case having been given in evidence
Mr. BALLANTINE, in addressing the jury for the defendant,
said he would not attempt to deny that the company had
only performed their duty in bringing forward the present
charge; but at the same time he hat great confidence that
the jury would not convict a young man who, he should
show them, had up to this time borne an unimpeachable
character, and for ever destroy his reputation, upon the evi-
dence that had been laid before them.
Several highly respectable witnesses ware then examined,
all of whom described the defendant as being entitled to the
character of a well-conducted respectable young man.
The jury stopped the Learned Recorder as he was about to
sum up, and said they were unanimously of opinion that the
charge had not been made out ; and they therefore returned
a verdict of Not Guilty.
The RECORDER remarked that although the jury had come
to this. conclusion, there was no
_doubt that it was a very
proper matter to be inquired into.
Mr. IIuDDLEsToNE said that, upon the company being ac-
quainted with the facts, they felt that they bad n 9 aiternitiye
