JUVENILE DELINQUE;ICi.—A little Irish boy, named
Thomas Bryant, whose rough head of hair could just be
seen peeping above the felon's dock in which he was placed,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing two
caps from the shop of Mr. William Williams, hatter, of
High-street, Poplar.

Mr. Yardley asked the prosecutor if he placed his goods
inside or outside his shop.

Mr. Williams—Outside, always outside, sir.

Mr. Yardley—Then you ought not to do anything of the
kind. Keep your goods inside your shop beyond the reach
of temptation in future.

Mr. Williams—l beg pardon, sir, I meant inside my
shop. I never put my goods outside my shop.
Mr. Yardley—l am very glad to hear it. Go on, sir.
Mr. Williams—This boy came into my shop yesterday
afternoon and 'stole two caps. He ran away with them
and I pursued him, and he deliberately threw the caps into
a shoemaker's shop. After he was taken he confessed he
stole a cap last week. _ _

Mr. Yardley asked the boy where he lived, and if his
parents were in attendance. After the question had been
repeated several times he stammered out, No. 7, Sophia-
street, Poplar.

Mr. Yardley—ls your father or your mother present ?
The boy made no answer.-

" You little goose," exclaimed a woman at the back o,
the court, " sure I'm your mother."
Mr. Yardley—Come this way.

The woman, who was decently attired, and whose man-
ner indicated respectability and intelligence, said she was
very poor, and had never heard of her boy doing wrong
before. He never brought home anything, and she wished
to discourage his bad habits.

Mr. Yardley—ls your name Bryant ?
Witness—No, sir ; my name is Kelly.
Mr. Yardley—The boy gives the name of Bryant.
The mother—That was his father's name. Bryant was
my first husband, and Kelly is my second.
Mr. Yardley-1% ell, I should save this boy if possible.
Tell your husband to attend here en Monday next. The
boy is remanded until that day.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market, nevertheless the demand for all .kinds
ruled heavy at Monday's currency. The general quality of
the samples was inferior.
Upwards of 30,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come
fresh to hand, sales were very difficult, and they could not
be effected except at reduced quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry.
Fine barley was held at full prices, but other descriptions
were rather easier, with a dull market. •
There was little doing in malt at late quotations.
The oat trade was somewhat firmer than on Monday. In
prices, however, no change took place.
Beans and peas ruled about stationary; but American
flour, owing to the arrival of 22,550 barrels, was rather
cheaper.
