MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
To•day's market was very scantily supplied with all
kinds of English Wheat. Selected samples sold at fully
Monday's quotations, but the middling and inferior qua-
lities commanded very little attention. Fur shipment
from the east coast next to nothing was doing. The
supply of foreign wheat was by no means extensive,
that grain met a slow inquiry, at about stationary
prices. Floating cargoes, though offering on somewhat
lower terms, were very dull. No English Barley on
show, but the supply of foreign was on the increase.
The trade ruled imactive, at hat week's currency. Malt
sold wholly in retail, but no decline was submitted to in
its value. Oats were held rather more firmly, and prices
were well maintained. Indian Corn afloat was is cheaper.
In all other articles next to nothing was doing.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER )
AVERY AND OTHERS V. DILLMAN.
The plaintiffs in this action are brewers, at the Wheat.
sheaf Brewery, Goodman's-fields, and defendant is a
licensed victualler, in Leman-street, Goodman's-fields.
The amount claimed was 13/. 65., for ale and beer
supplied.
Mr. OWEN GRAY, plaintiff's attorney, said that defen-
dant had pleaded that he was not indebted, but as he
did not now appear to support the plea, it would only be
necessary to prove the value and delivery of the goods
to entitle the plaintiffs to a verdict.
Evidence having been adduced, the jury gave a verdict
for the amount claimed.
This was the only case in the list.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

BURGLART.—A respectably attired man, named
Thomas Brewer Batton, aged 27, described as a gar-
dener, was indicted for burglary. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty.
Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Parnell defended the prisoner.
The prisoner was the sexton of Stratford Church, in
Essex, and on the night of the 10th of June last ho re-
quested one of the local police to knock him up early the
next morning, as he had a grave to dig. The police-
constable did as he was requested, and the prisoner left
his residence, which was adjacent to the church, seem-
ingly to pursue his daily avocations. A short while
afterwards the prisoner appeared at the Stratford police-
station, in a state of agitation, and declared that the
church had been broken open in the course of the night.
He was asked if anything was missing, and he replied
that, besides two new surplices and a silver inkstand,
some 31. or 41, in silver was missing from a drawer in
the vestry. The police accompanied him to the church to
ascertain how an entrance had been effected, and the pri-
soner called their attention to a window, which he asserted
had been forced open. The police examined the window
minutely, but from certain appearances which could not
be described on paper, they were satisfied that it had
not been forced from the outside, and this circumstance
coupled with the confusion of the prisoner's manner, led
them to suspect that the prisoner himself was the thief,
This impression became strengthened upon its being dis-
covered that the opening in the window, which was ten
feet from the ground, was not sufficiently large to admit
of any one getting through, and the police determined to
take the prisoner into custody. They then searched his
residence and found there two new surplices,
as well as
a small quantity of silver, and this discovery induced
the incumbent of the church to follow up the prosecution.
Mr. PARNELL addressed the jury for the defence, and
contended that the evidence was too vague and inconclu-
sive to justify their finding the prisoner guilty;
in fact,
he went the length of insisting that there was no case
whatever against his client. The case rested entirely
upon circumstantial evidence, but of so weak a character
that there was hardly
anything for him to fight with,
and he therefore sat down fully convinced in his own
mind that the prisoner would be acquitted.
The Learned JUDGE th.-u summed up, and the jury
returned a verdict of Guilty.
Sentence was deferred.

NEIV COURT.
(Before the IiEconDER
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CONFIDENTIAL SERVANT.—
Lewis John Jones, )
aw,d 21, described as a cli rk, pleaded
guilty to a charge of i.trib zziing and stealing three sums
of 24/. 14s. 6d., 114 2s. 66., and 41. 45., the property of
Mr. John Wisher kluddlestone, the barrister, his master,
but the Court deferred passing sentence.
THE THAMES PLATE GLASS COMPANY.— Thomas
Erskine Souper, aged 43. deberthed as a clerk, plei.ded
guilty of embezzling 301., the property of the Thames
Plate Glass Company, his employers, but the Court de-
ferred passing sentence.
FORGERY.—Herman Law, aged 34, described as a
merchant, pleaded
guilty charge of feloniously
to a
forging an acceptance to u bill of exchange for the sum
of 1,2504, with intent to defraud Conrad ,Iru Thorn,
but the Court deferred passing sentence.

TUE SCOTTISH FETE.—A few days ago we
directed attention to the extensive arrangements that were
being made to render the annual gathering, in Holland
Park, more than usually attractive. Since then the arrivals
from Scotland of candidates intending to compete for the
various prizes have been very numerous, and to-day a pre-
liminary rehearsal has satisfied the managing committee
that, with line weather, the sports of the present fide will be
superior to anything of the sort that has yet been witnessed
in the metropolis. The promises of support on the part of
the aristocracy have been plentiful, and, considering that
the Crystal wonder in a neighbouring park has drawn mul-
titudes from the districts north of the Tweed, there is no
doubt that the company will not only be brilliant blit nu-
