THE CHARGE OF REOEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY..-ThiS
morning John Pinkerton was placed at the bar, on re-
I mend, charged with having in his possession a large
quantity of property supposed to have been stolen.
Inspector Mitchell stated that he had received some
communications from parties who identified portions o
the property, but distance from town would prevent
their attendance.
Mr. Douglas Brooks Sladden, 2, King's Arms-yard,
City, identified a gold memento ring as the property of
l his father. The ring was lost two or three years ego.
It was supposed to have been dropped in the street.
Mr. Henry said that there was not evidence that the
property had been stolen.
Thomas Buckingham, residing at Child's-hill, stated
• that he drove the cart of his mother, a laundress, to
London on the -18th of June, and on his return a
bundle was stolen from it in Nassau-street, Soho.
The property belonged to a gentleman named Mar-
shall, living in Oxford-street. It was taken from the
cart, while it was standing at the door of Mr. Fletcher.
It was impossible for the bundle to have dropped from
the cart.
The bundle consisted of 22 articles, bearing the mark
of Mr. Marshall.
Mr. Henry said the person who had made up the
bundle, or some person from Mr. Marshall's residence
who could identify the property, must be produced.
Inspector Mitchell said he would despatch a constable
to the residence of Mr. Marshall ; in the interval *the]
cases could be proceeded with.
Mr. John William Mason, residing at Pimlico, identi.
fled a pin as his property. It was stolen from him at
the beginning of last March, close to the Marble Arch.
In answer to a question from the magistrate, the
witness stated it was taken from his scarf, he thought,
by a girl. He felt the pin go from him, but he did not
see the party who took it.
By Mr. Lewis—lt was impossible for the pin to have
dropped from his scarf. . .
Mr. Cbaries Twite, foreman to Mr. Keaterton, the
1 ooach-builder of Long.acre, said—On the 11th of June
two cushions- were stolen out of a carriage which was
standing at the back gate of the establishment in Wilson.
street. The cushions were covered with silk, of the
same description of silk as that now produced. It was
of a description manufactured exclusively for Mr. Kes
terton.

In answer to a question from Mr. Lewis, the witness
stated he would not undertake to swear that no other
tradesman used the same sort of silk.

George Prime, in the employ of Mr. Kesterton,
proved that when a certain carriage which had been
taken out of the establishment was returned on the 11th
of June the cushions were safe. The carriage stood out
in the street for about two hours, and the cushions in it
were covered with silk of the same colour as that now
before him.

Maria East, sister to the fever ward at Charing Cross
Hospital, stated that she gave out the clothes to the
laundress to wash. On the 21st of June she gave out
21 sheets to wash, which were made up in two bundles.
One of the bundles was lost ; it contained ten sheets.
The hospital marks had been ' cut from the sheets, but
there was a private mark on one of the towels, which
enabled her to swear that it was the property of the
hospital.

Mr. Russell identified a handkerchief which he missed
from his pocket on his return home about 13 months

Mr. Lewis said there was no evidence that this hand-
kerchief had been stolen. Se says he missed it from his
pocket.

Mr. Henry said that would be a question for a jury.
The witness from Mr. Marshall's residence not hav-
ing returned at two o'clock, the further hearing of the
case was postponed until four o'clock.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNES DA. Y EVENING

AUG UST 13,

Boner could have access to, and the key which opened
it was in the drawer.
Evidence continued.—When he suspected the prisoner
he put 10s. i❑ silver in the box, each of which he
marked, and he left the key as before in the drawer.
That morning, about 9 o'clock, he opened the box, when
he missed 34. 61. out of it. He called up the prisoner,
who denied having taken any money from the cash-box.
He then went for a policeman.

Lock, D 228, said that when the prisoner was given
into his custody she at once pulled a piece of parer
from her bosom, in which was 10s. She remarked,
"This is all I have about me."

Mr. Bingham (to prosecutor)—Butyou only lost 3s. Gd,
Prosecutor—l missed ss. the day before.
Mr. Bingham—Have you suspected the prisoner of
any other robberies ?

Prosecutor—Yes; I have missed money frequently,
but not to such an amount.
Mr. Bingham (to the prisoner)—Have you anything
to say.

Prisoner—l have taken the money, sir.
Mr. Bingham—Can you read or write ?
Prisoner—No, sir.

Mr. Bingham—Have you had any kind of instruction
Prisoner—No, sir; I have not been to a church.
Mr. Bingham observed that she was very young; but
it was a case that could not be passed over. He should,
however, deal lightly with her.
She was sent to prison for one month.

THE TRADE OF LEEDS.

The Leeds Chamber of Commerce have just reported on
the present position of the trade of Leeds. In the woollen
trade a fair average amount of business has been done in
the warehouses during the past month, though great cau-
tion has been observed by purchasers in limiting their
transactions to actual requirements. Orders for the au-
tumnal trades are unusually late this year, but now that
there is a certainty as to the stocks of wool being of-
fered, and the probability that food generally will be at a
moderate price, in consequence of the harvest prospects,
a very active trade for the coming semon is anticipated.
The operatives are in full work, and, on the whole, I
manufacturers are eutisfied with the present state of
trade. The felt department of the woollen trade is like-
wise brisk. In the beginning of July, a considerable
lull was experienced in the wool business, but much
improvement is noted since the commencement of the
present sales, which are to continue until the 26th
instant. Some descriptions of colonial wool
opened at a decline of id. .to lid. per lb. on the closing
rates of the May-June sales, and have progressed steadily,
with a tendency towards firmer prices. The flax trade,
a e are glad to observe, is gradually improving, and
a still further improvement may be looked for.
The mills are in full operation, and all descriptions
of yarn are in full demand. Prices remain pretty
stationary, but are looking somewhat firmer. Since
the pro6lamation of peace a marked improvement
has taken place in the machine-making department, and
for flax machinery especially the demand has much im-
proved, both for home lice and for exportation. Con-
siderable activity reigns in the principal establish-
ments, and prospects are good. In the locomotive de-
partment there are but few large orders at present on
band in the country ; neverthelcss, in some large esta-
blishments there is great animation. As money becomes
easier there is every prospect of this branch of mecha-
nical industry, which has grown to such an importance
in the town of Leeds, being in a highly active condition,
We are glad to record the large interest in the nail-mak-
ing business of the town, and that there is employment
for a larger number of hands than are at present avail-
able. The iron forgers of the districts are in full em-
ployment ; but, in consequence of the sultry state of
the weather, the .produce of bar iron is rather under
the usual average. Prices firm. For leather
the market is in a very buoyant state, and some
advance is 'experienced on all descriptions. The tanners
and curriers are actively engaged, though not to tbe ex-
tent of their capabilities, in consequence of the scarcity
of the raw material.

MARKET NEWS.—j.ms Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat on sale in to•day's market
was limited. The business doing in most kinds was trifling ;
nevertheless, factors were tolerably firm, and prices were
well supported.
Over 21,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to
hand. The demand for that article ruled heavy, but we
have no change to notice in the quotations.
New barley was in request, on former terms ; but old
parcels were neglected. No change in the value of malt.

- There was a fair inquiry for oat; at Monday's currency.
Beans and peas were very dull, but flour supported late
rates.

BOROUGH HOP.
The accounts from the plantations are favourable, and
the duty is called 250,C301. The business doing in hops is
very moderate.
