DISTRKSING CASC OF A NORWEGIAN SAlLOR.—ltohert
Nelion, a Norwegian seaman, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a coat, a Fair of trousers,
and a neckerchief, the property of Milo Plmouth, and
a pair of boots, the property of Paulus Bruchatn.
The prosecutors are both seamen belonging to the
Norwegian ship Lima, in the Loud ;n Dees, and the
prisoner was on beard that vessel on Wednesday eight,
and asked fir a berth, but ell hands were engaged, and
his services were not required. Tue pr ,perry was
mizs;ng yestrday from the cabin by the seamen to whom
it belonged. The prisoner was taken into cu,tody
yesterday afternoon by Masters, a dcck watchman, as
he was leaving the London Dock, with the whole of the
property upon him.
Tne prisoner in defence said he appear, d at
that court on Monday as a vvitnes3 in a case of felony,
and he lost his ship in corasequtrnce. He applied to his
worship yesterday f.a. relief, and it was refused.
Mr. Yardley said he fully recollected the prisoner
c ruling to him yesterday, and asking him if he c.uld not
compel a prosecutor for whom he gave evidence to con -
pensate him, and he told him he had no power to do any-
thing (.4 the kind. The Prisoner, however, did not ex-
plain that he had been a witness in that court, or that
he had hat his ship.

The officers of the court said that it was quite true that
t':e Norwegian sailor was a witness in that court on
Monday, and two of three prisoners were convicted by
Mr. Selfe for robbing a German, named Muller, of his
watab, gold chain. money, and clothes, in a notorious
den of infamy, No. 18, John's-place, Baker-street,
S•epncy. 0 xing to the interference of the prisoner,
and the information he gave, Muller recovered all his
property, and refused to give Nelson a farthing.
Mr. Yardley—The prisoner was entitled to be remu-
nerated for his attendance by the county, and ought to
have been sent to Clerkenwol for the money. Where
is the prisoner's ship gone to ?
The prisoner replied to Calcutta.
Mr. Ilulbertb, an interpreter of Swedish and Nor-
wegian, said he would obtain a ship for the prisoner rf
he was discharged.
Mr. Yardley—That is very kind of you indeed, and I
am sure you will never have cause to regret so good an
action. lai l sentence this unfortunate man, who has
been tempted by hunger and distress to commit crime,
to one day's imprisonment, which entitles him to his
immediate discharge.

demand for all kinds ruled very inactive, at MoLday's de-
cline in the quotations.
Foreign wheat the imports of which are 7,810 qrs.—
met a dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice in
prices.
Barley and malt were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
The imports of the former are large.
The show of oats was less extensive, and the oat trade
ruled firm, at full quotations.
Both beans and peas were in short supply and fair re-
quest, at extreme rates.
Flour moved off slowly, at barely Mon3ay's currency.
