Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Garrett.

John Ellkin, foreman carman in the employ of Messrs.
Holland and Hannan, said that having suspicions that lead
was being taken from a job in Piccadilly, he yesterday
evening followed the prisoners Ringo and Jones, who each
had charge of a cart containing lead to take back to the
;ard in Duke-street. On their reaching Now Comp-
ton-street he saw the men stop their carts near
Garrett's shop, and a piece of lead (produced) was taken
into the shop by one of them. The men then went away
with their carts, and he (witness) spoke to a constable
(Cording, 154, A It), who went into Garrett's shop, and
demanded the lead, which Garrett produced, stating that he
had just purchased the lead of a man named *Jones. He
after wards saw his employers, who 6ve the prisoners into
custody.
Alfred Cording, 154 A, said that on being spoken to by
the last witness he wont into Garrett's shop and asked him
if ho had purchased any lead, and he said he had,, and that
he gave lls. for it, and produced the lead from behind the
counter. He looked in Garrett's book, but there was no
entry of the transaction, but subsequently there was one
put in. Garrett afterwards said that ho purchased the
lead of Rings, who gave the name of Jones. He took the
prisoners to the station-house, and on searching Ringe
and Jones he found on the former 4s. 4id., and on the
latter 2s. 6d, but a part fall down the log of Riuge's trou-
sers while he was sitting in the yard, and could not be
found. Ringo and Jones said when he took them into
custody that they knew nothing about th 9 heal.
Mr. Holland said the value of the lead Was about 19s.
Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate in Garrett's behalf
urging that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to de.
tain him, and stating that ho had at times rendered assist.
ante to the police.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, but consented to take
bail for Garrett.

THAMES.
A YOUNG T UMBLEIL—John Barlow, aged six years,
was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with throwing
summersaults in the Commercial-road, and begging
of per-
sons riding on an omnibus.
Henry Slingsby, a police constable, No. 394 K, said nu-
merous complaints had boon made of the tumbling boys in
the Commercial-road, and many of them had boon arrested
and punished. The practice was attended with danger to
life and limb. The prisoner was tumbling alongside om-
nibuses last night, and when ho made his last summer-
salt he lost his balance and nearly went under the wheel
of a cart. The poor little fellow was without shoes,
stockings, and shirt, and covered with filth la-t night. Ho
took the boy to the workhouse, and ho was cleansed and
provided with clothing. He uderstood that whatever the
boy had earned by tumbling he gave to his mother.
Mr. Rolston, one of the relieving overseers of St.
George-in-the-East, said the mother received relief from
the parish for herself and children.
Mr. Benson asked the boy, who was put on the solicitors'
foible for his inspection, who taught him to tumble ?
The prisoner replied -.Some big toys taught me to throw
somersets alongside the busses.
Mr. Benson—You will be killed if you continuo this
dangerous pursuit.

The mother was called, and said she got her living by
needle-work. She had two other children to mlintain,
and received three loaves and is. 6d. weekly from the
parish. Sometimes She earned ls. 6cl. per week, and at
other times ls. 6d. per day, She bad been three years a
widow.

Mr. Benson—l cannot allow on to send this boy into
the street to tumble and beg money of omnibus passengers.
You should send your boy to school.
The mother said she could not afford to send the boy to
school.

Mr. Rolston said the family received out-door relief on
the express condition that the mother sent her children to
school. There was an excellent scbcol, under the control
of that excellent and zealous philanthropist, the Rev. Mr.
M'Gill, of Christ Church, Watney-street, and ho would
educate the children gratuitously. If the boy would go to
school Mr. M'Gill would receive him,
Mr. Benson lectured the ruotherof the boy for neglecting
her child, and upon her promise that she would send him
to school discharged him,

METROPOLITAN OATTLE.

There was about an average supply of boasts on sale
here to-day. For all breeds the demand was very inactive
at barely Monday's currency. The extreme quotation was
5s per 81bs. Wo were barely supplied with sheep, which
moved off slowly at barely Into rates. The best Downs
and half-breds sold at 5s per 81bs. Calves —the show of
which was moderate—wero a slow inquiry at the late do-
cline. There was an improved sale for pigs at full prices,
but milch cows were very dull.
