A PERSEVERING UTTERER OF COUNTERFEIT COIN

William Taylor was charged with uttering counterfeit coin
to Mrs. Bradbeer, tobacconist, of 31, Greek-street, under
the following circumstances :--

The prosecutrix said that on the previous evening, about
nine o'clock, the prisoner came in and asked for half an
ounce of tobacco, tendering her in payment a shilling. She
gave him change, and put the coin in the till with one or
two others. About 11 o'clock he came again and asked for
half an ounce of tobacco, again tendering her a shilling. For
this also she gave him change, and put'it in the till. A few
minutes after he paid her another visit, this time also ten-
dering her a shilling, but asking for a pickwick. She
served him, but did not put the coin into the till
but left it on the counter, and immediately after he
had left a suspicion arose in her mind that it could not
be all right, and on looking at the.shilling on the counter,
and also those in the till, she found them all to be counter-
feits. Two friends came in shortly afterwards, and while
telling them the circumstances, the prisoner entered the
shop a fourth time and asked for another half ounce of
tobacco, this time tendering a good sixpence. Shit then said
to her friends, " This is the man," when the prisoner im-
mediately replied, " I've.come in for tobacco and given you
good money." He then tried to get away, but was pre-
vented, and given into custody.

Police-constable Hurd said he had made inquiries at 7,
Great White Lieu-street, where the prisoner said he lived,
and found that he paid 4d. a night for his lodging, and had
only lodged there three nights.
Remanded.

THAMES.
ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Anne Masterton, a woman
about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel,
the property of Abraham Sugenberg, a Jew, carrying on
the business of an outfitter and clothes salesman, of No.
154, St. George's-street, alias Ratcliffe-highway.
It appeared that the prisoner had upon several occasions
pawned new clothing at, the shop of AIL Telfer, in Rat-
cliffe-highway; and said they belonged to sailors who were
lodging at a boarding-house in Prince's-square, St. George-
in-the-East. Yesterday she came again with a pair of new
trousers and a necktie and asked for a loan upon them. Mr.
Poole, assistant to Mr. Telfer, again questioned the prisoner,
who repeated the story she had told before. Mr. Poole directed
her to fetch the sailor, and she left the shop. Mr. Poole
followed her, and instead of proceeding to Princes-square
she entered Mr. Sugenberg's house. Mr. Poole immedi-
ately communicated with Mr. Sugenberg, who at once iden-
tified the trousers and necktie offered in pawn as his pro-
perty, and also owned two other pairs of trousers which the -
prisoner had pawned in the course of the present month.
Mr. Sugenberg had repeatedly missed property while the
prisoner was in his employ, a period of three months and
five days. On the prisoner's box being searched
two bottles of gin were found. A police constable
afterwards proceeded to the prisoner's lodgings, No. 2,
Russell-court, St. George-in-the-East, where he found
eleven sovereigns, 275. 6d. in silver, eight silver teaspoons,
seventeen German silver spoons, and several other spoons,
ten diaper towels, and other property.
The prisoner, in defence, said she had been saving up the
money, and purchasing the spoons and towels at intervals
for the last twelve or fourtgen years.
A police constable believed he would find an owner for
the spoons and towels if the prisoner was remanded.
Mr. Yardley—Let the prisoner be remanded until Satur-
(l4,
next.

THIS .DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English whbat on sale here to'-day was un-
usually small, and the whole of it was cleared off at fully
Monday's prices. The demand may be called steady.
There was only a moderate inquiry for foreign wheat, the
show of which was seasonably large, at previous curren-
cies.

Floating cargoes were a dull inquiry. Both barley and
malt moved off heavily at late rates.

There was an improved feeling in the oat trade, and full
prices were realised in every instance.
Beans and peas moved off slowly at late rates.
The flour trade was steady, at full quotations.

FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE.
A very well-contested four-oared race was rowed yester-
dP.y afternoon, from Putney-bridge to Chelsea-bridge.
The prizes were gold rings for the first boat, and money
prizes for the second. The following were the results :
Red .......................... 1

C. Wells, coxswain.

Blue ............... ........... 2

Mr. S. Dixon Mr. Richardson
T. Price, coxswain.

White .......................
Mr. Terry . Mr.s ..
Mr. Will Mr. Chapman
H.=MArray, covrwain.

Red were the favouritiiviii evens, but Blue had the best
station. A very fair start was effected, and they were oar
and oar for about 200 yards, when Blue began to draw
away from their opponents, and opposite the' Feathers had
nearly cleared themselves, where they continued only for a
few pulls, Red again becoming nearly level, and as though
they were going by them. In this position they continued
rowing for a short distance, when Red took the lead, and
maintained it throughout, closely pressed by Blue, who were
only defeated by a couple of lengths at the finish. The race
between Blue and White was very spirited to Battersea
Church, where the latter gradually fell astern, and were
beaten by a dozen lengths.
