JUVENILE OFFENDERS PROMPTLY PuNisriEn.—Abra-
ham Jacobs, a Jew boy, of No. 13, Petticoat-land, Aldgate,
was charged with stealing five coats, the property of Caro-
line Clarissa Purssell, a pawnbroker and saleswoman, of
No. 11, Jamaica•terrace, West India-road, Limehouse.
It appeared that the coats were exposed for sale outside
Mrs. Purssoll's shop, and the prisoner took them down
in the absence of a person who was specially deputed to
look after them. A person who witnessed the robbery gave
information to an assistant in the employ of the prosecutrix,
and he pursued tho prisoner and took him into custody,
with the coats in his possession. A constable gave a very
unfavourable account of the antecedents of the prisoner,
and he was sentenced as a juvenile offender to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of
'!orroction.

James Johnson, a lad about 16 years of ago, 20, Single-
street, Stepney, was charged with stealing a sovereign from
the person of Fred. Kemp, a servant at the new Grove
NPlSMlAl3lttlett MM. on a eunesuay,
ho was deliverin; milk to his employer's customers, and
meeting with the prisoner, whom he had known some time,
asked him to go round with him. The prisoner did so, and
in the course of conversation he mentioned that be had a
sovereign in his possession. The prisoner said, " Lot me
look at it." He took it out of his pocket, and , held it out
in his hand. The prisoner immediately snatched the gold
from his hand and ran away with it. He did not see the
prisoner again until this morning.
llutley, a police-constable, 197 K, stated that he asked
the prisoner what he had done with the sovereign, and he
said, " Why, I spent it, to be sure ; what a fool Kemp was
to let me see it." The prisoner was a very idle and dis-
orderly lad.

The prisoner on being called upon for his defence treated
the matter very lightly, and pleaded guilty.
Ho was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard
Labour for three months.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Only a limited supply of beasts was on offer here, to-
day, in, for the most part, middling condition. All kinds
moved off steadily, and Monday's prices ever well sup-
ported. Although the show of sheep were only moderate,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and in some in-
stances clipped sheep gave way 2d per 81bs. The few
lambs on offer were a dull inquiry, at from 5s 6d to 6s 8d
per 81bs. We had a fair demand for calves—the supply of
which was only moderate--.at full quotations. Pigs sup-
ported previous rates, but mileh cows were a dull inquiry.
