With regard to the corn market at Birmingham,
Mr. Cave states as follows :—The crops generally
exhibit a greatly improved appearance. Wheat trade
has continued in the same lifeless state as reported
last week; this is to be accounted for by the dull,
discouraging state of the flour trade, owing to an
increased supply of vegetables at this period to com-
pete with bread, and to the naturally decreased
Consumption of food in hot weather. Foreign arri-
'vals are again considerable, but millers and bakers
are known to be generally very short of stock.
°lir market to-day partook of quite a holiday cha-
racter, the fair and the horse show having more at-
tractions than a miserably dull market. In the
absence of any pressure to sell prices remain
nominally as last quoted. Fine red, 665. to 68s. ;
common, 58s. to 625. ; white, 68s. to 725. ; all per
qr Of 4961b5. Foreign wheat, being now relatively
cheaper than English, found a few buyers in retail
at a reduction of Is. to 2s per qr. on Chilian.
The report of the St. John Del Rey Mining Com-
Pally) to be presented at the meeting on the 27th
Instant, states that the net profit on the working of
the mines from the 32d March, 1866, to the 23d
slarch, 1867, amounted to £112,681, out of which
51,867 has been applied to dividend and reserve
fund, leaving an available balance of £60,814, from
Which the directors would have the satisfaction of
recommending an increased dividend at the rate of
£4 10s. per share, free of Income-tax.
Messrs. Price, Holyland, and Waterhouse, the
Liquidators of the Bank of Turkey, have issued
notice of a general meeting on the 21st instant,
thatand also a report of their proceedings. They state
there is a balance of cash in hand amounting
to
£5,865, but until the result of the suit in Chan-
-ell is adjusted a further return cannot be made.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during
the last few days there has been a moderate
amount
of business entered into. Sugars have
141 Y maintained previous rates, while the public
ales of tea have concluded without any material
change being established in values. Coffee has
remained at steady prices, while in tallow the ope-
rations have been on too limited a scale to cause
any
material change in quotations.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain Ac. steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds at 24} 25i.
The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway for the third week in May
corresponding
to $117,668, against $117,308 in the
week last year, showing an increase
()f $360.
The Bank of England return completed to the
12thA instant is again of a very satisfactory character.
1)s regards the strength of the establishment the
liltlon has been increased by £376,074, and there

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

(Before the Recorder.)
THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

William Jelley and John Hall were indicted for
unlawfully combining, confederating, and agreeing
together, with divers others, to force by means of
threats and molestation one Margaret Rattenbury,
a person employed in the business of a tailor, to
depart from her employment, hiring, and work.
Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Keene, Q.C., was for the defence.

The Learned Sergeant, in his opening address to
the jury, said they were probably aware that in
former times persons were not allowed to combine
together to raise the rate of wages. So far back,
however, as 1825 an act was passed which provided
that it was not illegal to combine together to effect
that object ; but it also provided that if any person
should, by violence, or threats, or by intimidation,
molestation, or obstruction, endeavour to force
another person to depart from his work, or from
accepting work or employment, he should be guilty
of an offence punishable with imprisonment.
Doubts were afterwards entertained as to what was
a molesting within the meaning of that statute, and
in 1859 an Act was passed according to which it
was perfectly clear that any person had a right to
refuse to work for any wages that might be offered,
and had also a right to combine with others not to
work, and to persuade others to abstain from
working. All that was perfectly lawful, but
what was not lawful was the preventing
others from working, if they pleased, by threats
or intimidation. The person so threatened and
molested by the prisoners was a tailoress named
.largaret Rattenbury, and she was in the employ
of Mr. Bowater, one of the masters, whose hands
had taken part in the strike. The prosecutrix was
met by the prisoners, after receiving work from
Air. Bowater, and after persuasion had proved
abortive they told her it would be worse for her in
the long run if she did not refuse to work for one
who had refused to agree to the demand of their
men for an increase of wages.
The evidence was given at length in The Sun on
the occasion of the examination, and committal of
the prisoners for trial by Mr. Knox, at the Marl-
borough-street police-court.
The trial was proceeding when we went to press.
(Before the Common Sergeant).

Robert George Dean, traveller, was indicted for
embezzling various sums of money, the property of
his employer, James Anderson.
The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced
to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.

BILLIARDS.—ST. JAMES'S HALL.—A match took
place on Wednesday at the above hall, which, as
usual, was well filled, the contestants being W. Dufton and
J. Bennett., the, former receiving 200 out of 1,000, for £lOO
a-side. Dufton led off, and in a short time he went in for
a break of 56; when the latter was 470 Bennett was 230,
so that Dufton had 240 to the good. Bennett now began
t) gain on his opponent, and he put together 26, and he
shortly made his score 300 to Dufton's 494. He had then
a break of 27 ; in a short time the marker called the game
Dufton, 512 ; Bennett, 403 ; from 441 Bennett ran on to
495, by a fine break of 53, at the end of which he was
loudly applauded—Dufton being 537. The latter, from
552, ran on to 576 by a break of a couple *Of dozen. Ben-
nett now stood in, and lie made 37, so that Dufton was
only 27 in advance. The latter got in, but was unfortu-
nate, and Bennett got to 564, when ho missed. Dufton put
together a fine break of 48, and he stood at 624 to 564, and
there were offers to take 6to 4 about Dufton winning
Bennett now took a decided lead, his score being 670 to
his adversary's 643 ; the former, after-some excellent play,
was 739 to Dufton's 711. Then the latter, however, began
to creep up, and soon got to 912 ; but here Bennett made
two splendid breaks of 26 and 31, and ultimately won
the match.

LAM INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
FORTH V. FORTH.

The Queen's Advocate and Mr. Cooper for the
petitioner. _ _ _

- The petitioner in this case was Mr. Charles
Forth, a Baptist minister and registrar of births
and deaths at Basford, near Nottingham. He sued
for a separation on the ground of his wife's cruelty,
and she pleaded a counter allegation to the same
effect.

The parties had been married several years, and
had had six children, of whom five survived. The
petitioner had also a son and daughter by a
former wife. He charged the respondent with
great harshness to her step-children, with in-
cessant quarrelling, and with numerous acts of vio-
lence, the details of which he gave at considerable
length. Her conduct was such that his deacon
had requested her to withdraw from the church. So
much scandal had, however, been created that he
had felt obliged to resign his pastorate. He had
originally received a salary of £125 a year for the
chapel, but he had been compelled to ask one of his
deacons from whom he had derived fully a third of
it to resign. At present he had nothing to live on
but about £7O derived from his registrarship and an
agency to au insurance office. He was corroborated
by several witnesses.
On the other hand, the respondent,. who gave
her evidence with astounding volubility, denied a
great part of her husband's story, and explained the
rest of it away, protesting, in addition, that he was
guilty of gross harshness and violence to her and to
her children.

Mr. Mortby said he was a surgeon at Basford,
He first attended Mrs. Forth in 1858. He attended
her last in 1860. He could not say much of the
petitioner's conduct to his , wife, for he seldom
saw him with her. She was suffering from a disease
which precluded her from saying much about any-
thing,

Mrs. Wingrove said that she kept a shop at Bas-
ford, and had several conversations with Mr. Forth
relative to Mrs. Forth. She 'considered that Mr.
Forth behaved badly to her.
Cross-examined—She was unfriendly to Mr.
Forth. She had asked him once whether his wife
behaved better to Jemima Ann. She thought she
neglected the girl, and did not wish her to go to
school.

Ann Daft said that she had several conversations
with Mr. Forth, and he had said that she was a
" wretch," and that he would strangle her. She
would often ask whether Mr. Forth was kinder
to the children, and he said that he had sent Minnie
to school at Grantham, and that he would teach
Frederick to kick her shins.
Ann Purschrub had been servant to the petitioner
in 1863, and remained there three months. lie
had called her a base lying woman to her.

A monthly nurse gave similar testimony.
The petitioner contradicted the evidence of the
last witnesses.

Dr. Spinks said that this was a most extraordi-
nary case, and more singular than any perhaps that
had come before that Court, for it appeared that
the parties actually lived in the same home up to
the present moment. If it had been a suit for the
restitution of conjugal rights, the Court would ❑ot
entertain the suit. Ile now contended that by the
evidence it was fully shown that the husband was
not in any way afraid of his wife, nor in fear of
violence. The fact was that he wanted to get rid of
the step-mother of his children and not his wife
The dwelling in the same house surely would induce
the court to dismiss the petition.
Sir Robert Phillimore having summed up for the
petitioner,
The Judge-Ordinary, after having elaborately
summed up the evidence, pronounced a decree for
a judicial separation ou the part of the husband.

POLICE INTELLIGEHCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SPORTING BEGGAR.—Theruas Warwick, a rough-
looking boy about 13 years of age, was charged before Mr
Knox with begging.

Francis All;Jood, 186 C, proved seeing the boy begging
in South Auclley-street, and receive money, and he then
took hint into custody. At the station a sixpence was
found upon him, and a book called " The Adventures and
Career of Tom Galloway, the Boy Jockey," and also the
programme of a St. Leger sweep.
The boy said he bad been to the races, and was coming
home when the constable took him into custody.
Mr. Knox asked the boy whether his friends were
living. _

The boy said they were.
Mr. Knot said he should remand the Loy for the attend-
ance of his friends, at the same time remarking that the
boy appeared to b 3 begging in order to speculate in horse
races.
