CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

The Central Ciiminal Court resumed its sittings this
morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and
Aldermen.

THE MERCHANTS' COMPANY.

Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., said he was instructed on the
part of the prosecution in the case of Mr. Richard Stuart
Lane and Mr. James Childs to apply to the court for• per-
mission for the witnesses to be allowed not to go before
the grand jury, and that the recognisances of the. wit-
nesses for the prosecution should be discharged.
The Recorder said that he had read the depositions
very carefully, and he must say that the conclusion he
had arrived at was that unless there was some additional
evidence to that which appeared in the depositions, it was
hopeless to expect a conviction of the defendants upon the
the charge made. He therefore consented to the applica-
tion that the prosecution should not ho required to go
before the grand jury.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

himself as a greengrocer, of 47, Pearson-street, Ringsland-
