knocked down by the wheel of the defendant's
van. The wheels of the van went over Lim and broke his
leg. He was taken to Guy's Hospital, where he remained
five weeks, and he now sought to recover 3ompensation for
the injury.

to go over to a publichouse to have a glass of porter. Was
not drunk, but had some porter in the coarse of the day.
The defence set up was, that the plaintiff was intoxicated
at the time the accident occurred, and therefore the blame
and inconvenience arose through his awn fault. The
driver said he called out as loud as he could, but no not*
was taken of his warning. The place where the plaintiff
was knocked down was not a regular crossing.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
BURGLARY.

John Cooper, labourer, aged 21, John Jones, shoemaker,
20, George Gibbs, tailor, 21, and Ellen Davis, 21, were
charged with burglary in the dwelling-h Duse of Richard
Cordman, and stealing therefrom nineteen shawls, and
five mantles, value £5O. _ .

It appeared that the prisoners were seen lurking about
the premises in question throughout the night on which
the burglary was committed, and that Ccoper was caught
in the house and the other male primers near, assisting
him to remove the goods. The female prisoner was only
connected with them from the fact of her having been seen
frequently in their company during the night, and having
assisted them in moving the property after it had been
removed from the scene of the burglary.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty against all four of
:he prisoners.

Two previous convictions of stealing from the person
were proved against Cooper, three previous convictions of
felony were proved against Jones, and he had only just
completed his sentence of four years. Two previous con-
victions of felony were also proved against the female pri-
soner, who had just completed three years penal servitude.
A previous conviction, the sentence for which only
expired in October, was proved against Gibbs:
The learned Recorder then sentenced Cooper to eight
years' penal servitude, Jones and Gibbs to six years, and
Ellen Davis to four years.
This concluded the business of the session.

THIS DAY'S 31A1LEETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a full average supply of English wheat on
offer here to-day, but the bulk of it was the remains of
Monday's unsold samples. The attendance of millers was
limited, and the demand for both red and white qualities
was heavy in the extreme at almost nominal quotations.
To have forced sales, further depressed rates must have
been submitted to.

In foreign wheat—the imports of which are nearly 23,000
qrs.—most to nothing was doing, and all inferior kinds
were lower to sell. Floating cargoes changed hands slowly

on easier terms.

Fine samples of barley supported previous rates, but other
kinds were dull and rather cheaper.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Mon
day's quotations.

Good sound oats ware hold on former terms, but damp
parcels gave way 6d per qr.

Beans and peas were unaltered in value. Tho flour trade
was very dull.
