MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Henry Harwood was charged before Mr. Hardwick
with a burglary in the house of Mrs. Cheratt, No. 24,
Soho-square.
James Booth said he was coachman to Mrs. Cheratt,
who occupied the whole of the house in Soho-square,
with the exception of the shop, which was let to a
person named Newman. As his mistress was an in-
valid, and very timid, he had been requested to sleep
in the middle drawing-room, where a considerable
quantity of plate was usually kept. About two o'clock
that morning he was awakened by a noise, and on
looking about he saw the front drawing-room door,
which usually stood open, pulled to. Being surprised
at this he sat up in bed, and in a minute or two after-
wards he saw the door leading to the landing opened
by a strange man. He got out of bed and seized the
intruder. A struggle ensued, and the man made to-
wards the window in the front drawing-room, and
jumped out on the portico. Witness followed, and
seized the ma❑ again, and called loudly for the police.
The man got from his grasp, and tumbled off the
portico, head foremost, on the foot pavement. Wit-
ness then heard a voice say, " I have got him, sir."
On going down stairs witness found it was the police-
constable, who had been attracted by the noise, and
who came up just in time to secure the prisoner.
Witness had his ahirt torn to pieces in the struggle
with the prisoner.
Thomas West, police-constable, said he heard a cry
of " Police." He saw the front window open, and a
man jump out, followed by another man. He wit•
nessed the struggle between the persons on the top of
the portico, and he saw the prisoner fall off on the pave-
ment. The prisoner appeared much hurt, and very
faint. Witness took him to the station-house, and on
searching him be found only a few Lucifer matches.
Witness went back to the house to ascertain in what
way the prisoner had obtained an entrance. He
-found that the prisoner had climed up the portico, and
had got in at the first floor window, there being marks
of fingers on the top of the portico, which left no
doubt that this was the way an entrance had been
effected.

The prisoner denied being the man.
Mr. HARDWICK complimented the coachman for the
courage he had displayed in this dangerous affair, and
them fully committed the prisoner for trial.

CLERKENWELL.
henry Ilendall, dentist and chiropodist, of No. 14,
Brunswick-square, was finally examined, charged by
Elizabeth Reed, aged 18, his servant, with having
violated her under circumstances of an extraordinary
nature.

The prosecutrix, it appeared, entered the service
of the accused in October last, as servant of all work,
an .d remained there until last Friday week. On that
day the wife of the prisoner left home, and during
her absence the witness went to make her mistress's
bed in the upper part of the house, and, whilst thus
engaged the prisoner entered the apartment, locked
and bolted the door, and endeavoured to throw her on
a bed and effect his purpose. She struggled and re •
sisted him until he tripped her up, when he accom-
plished his object. She did not mention what had
taken place to her mistress, or to any one else, until
the following Tuesday. She then informed a Mrs.
Henson, with whom she was in the habit of lodging
'when out of a situation, who accompanied her to the
'residence of Mr. Rendall, and asked him what recom-
pence he could make for the iej cry he had done, when
he indignantly repelled the accusation in the presence
of his wife, saying they wanted to extort money from
him. They then came to this court for a warrant,
and were referred by the magistrate to the police, and
she gave him in custody for the felony, and prose-
cuted him on Wednesday last before Mr. Tyrrwhitt,
when the court was crowded to suffocation. The pro-
secutrix, whose appearance is foreign, gave her evi-
dence with an appearance of artless simplicity, and, at
the termination of the hearing, the prisoner was or-
dered to find heavy and responsible security for his
appearance on this day.
A report of the proceedings having appeared in the
newspapers, led to a suspicion that the prosecutrix
bad been in the habit of trumping up such charges
against her masters, and numerous letters have been
forwarded to the office of the !prisoner's professional
adviser, Mr. Humphreys, exposing her conduct.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, now attended for the
prisoner, and the following extraordinary examination
ensued :

She having been sworn, Mr. Clarkson said—Now,
Miss Elizabeth Reed, how long i 3 it since you last
saw me in a a police-court ? Witness-1 don't
recollect.

Mr. Clarkson—Come come, Miss Wed, refresh
your memory, or I will for you. Did you not two
years ago make a similar charge against Mr. Wil-
hams, of Regent's park, at Marylebone Police-court ?
Prosecutrix (after considerable hesitation) admitted
such to be the fact, and that she had made similar
charges against others.

Mr. Clarkson said he could prove that in five in-
stances • adding, that from the age of 15 she had
exhibited charges of that description, under circum-
stances that would disgust our readers. He remem-
bered very well the case of Mr. Williams, and bad
his brief, with notes then before him. The prosecu-
trix denied facts which could be incontestably con•
firmed by Mr. Williams on the occasion referred
to. That charge was dismissed.
Mr. Clarkson--Pray, Miss Reed, did you some time
ago live in Belfast ?—She said yes.
Mr. Clarkson—Did you not charge a gentleman
there with rape ? Prosecutrix—l did not tell Mr.
Dennison (her then master) so.
Mr. Clarkson—Come now, be careful, Miss Reed.
Did you not tell Mr. Dennison that a gentleman
whom you had so charged had given you 201. to
come to England? Prosecutrix—l did not tell
him so.
Mr. Dennison said such was the fact, and he could
prove it.
In answer to further questions, she admitted that
she charged a man named Gooseberry, a coffeeshop-
keeper, with rape not long ago, and that a similar
accusation she made against a Mr. Stowe ; that she
had been charged with lying and other misconduct.
Mr. Clarkson said he could call witnesses to prove
that the witness was altogether devoid of credit ; and,
under the circumstances, he submitted there was not
sufficient to warrant a committal for trial.
Mr. TYxwnITT remarked that a magistrate was
involved in a difficult and delicate position. The
prosecutrix had sworn to the fact, and that, coupled
with the evidence of Dr. Robertson, the house-sur-
geon of the Royal Free Hospital, who said the offence
had been effected, induced him to feel in duty bound
to send the case before a jury.
Mr. Clarkson said he must bow to the decision of
the bench, and applied to have his client bailed.
The worthy MAGISTRATE said, from what bad
come out that day his opinion was far from adverse
to the prisoner, whom he would liberate on the secu-
rity of one housekeeper in 50/., and his own recog-
n•izance in 1001., to take his trial at the ensuing Old
Bailey sessions.
The necessary security being taken, the prisoner
le ft with his friends.

luring the week the trade

has maintained the same monotonous tone so frequently
reported of Imo, only occasional ,alts to necessitous
Ira) e.t.a li thg 01,1c:17:L3,We in any article. Oa the whole,
th•refere, the transactions have been to a vary limited
amount; but prices can scarcely be said to have suffered
any further reduction. From Ireland the imports of
Oats :aid oatmeal into Liverpool and Runcorn are this
week but very moderate, whilst of other articles they
are exceedingly scanty; and from our own coast there are
no arrivals worth naming. From abroad, however, con-
siderable supplies of wheat and flour have again been re-
ceived, with a fair quantity of beans. At our market
this morning a continuance of inactivity prevailed,
caused by an indisposition o the part of the dealers
and bakers to increase their ',:zs of any article, and an
equal reluctance on the part 0 holders to force sales by
more than a very moderate c ocession in prices, and no
material variation from the currency of this day se'ai-
night can consequently be noted.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARLET, JAN. 2.—The numbers
at our market to-day were—oxen, 604; sheep, 1,768. As
the number of cattle was not large, they were in good
demand, and sales were easily effected. Best ox beef
47e, current from 43s to 455, inferior from 30s to 40s per
cwt, sinking the offal; a few left unsold. Owing to the
small supply of sheep, sales were briskly effected, and
in favour of the seller. Best aged wethers 53d, current
4ii to sd, inferior 31d to 4d per lb, sinking the offal; all
sold. Pigs dull, 345. Fed calf up now to 56s and to
60s per cwt.

CORK, JAN, 3.

We have to report some further arrivals of foreign
grain, which, added to the large importations previously
announced, have bad the effect of depressing still further
the trade in foreign wheat. The stocks of this grain are
now unprecedentedly large, and to this cause may be
mainly ascribed the depression in the article which now
exists. The supply of home grain has been exceeding',"
moderate, the receipts for the week being only:—Wheat.
234 brls, at 17s to 21s per brl; barley, 941 brls, at lOs
6d to 12s 4d per brl; oats, 3,396 brie., at 8s to lOs 6d per
brl. With the small quantity of grain arriving to mar.
ket we have little or no vcriation to report in the
value of any article of produt In foreign wheat, as we
have before remarked, but hi, business has been done,
although prices are manifestly, . favour of the purchaser.
In prepared barley the few sactions that have taken
place have been at last week's rates. Oats can
scarcely be said to have maintained their value. Tin,
sales that have been made were but to a moderate ex-
tent, though some slight concession has been made by
holders. We quo:e the value of black, 9s 6d to 9s 9d;
that of white, 10s 6d to 10s 9d per barrel. The flour
trade has been very dull and lifeless at last week's prices.
The business passing in Indian corn is on the most re-
stricted and retail scale, but without any quotable alte-
ration in value. Indian meal continues totally neglected.
