MARKE T S.--This day.

MARK LANE.

Owing to the continuance of fair weather and the op-
portunities thereby afforded for getting in the crops, trade
in all descriptions of grain at Mark-lane to-day has been
very dull. The arrivals of English wheat, both coastwise
and by rail, have been very trifling, and the demand for
both red and white qualities wore very inactive, at a
nominal reduction in prices of is. to 2s.
There was an average supply of foreign wheat in fair
condition. The inquiry for all kinds was very dull, and
to effect sales a reduction of ls. to 2s. must have been sub-
mitted to.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at droop-
ing currencies.
There was no English barley on offer, and only a small
quantity of foreign; prices were consequently firm.
The malt trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were
barely supported.
Oats were in good supply and sluggish request at about

late rates.
Beans and peas met a slow sale at Monday's currencies.
Both town and country flour unaltered in value.
Cakes were steady on previous terms, but in agricultural
seeds there was little passing.

LAW INTELLIGENOE.—This Day.

SH ERIF FS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
SINGULAR CASE. ---J ACOBS V. PRINCE.
This was an action to recover the cost of the keep
of defendant's child. It appeared that defendant
had
,married plaintiff's daughter, and she left her
husband, taking with her the child in question, and
went to live with her parents.
Mr. Beard urged that plaintiff ought not to
cover ; defendant had no wish his child should be
kept from him; indeed he had often asked for the
child, but the mother would not let it come home.
Plaintiff slid defendant had no home for it.
Defendant replied that he had. his wife went
away without - his sanction ; and he believed the
whole mischief had been caused by the interference
of the parents.
His Honour—Surely plaintiff as the father of the
j child has a right to possession.

Mr. Beard—That is what we say.
His Honour—How old is the child?
Defendant—Three years.
His Honour—He is entitled to the child. Why
does he not sue out a writ of habeas?
Mr. Board—He has not the means. Here is a case
where the wife and child are encouraged by the
father and mother-in-law to leave the husband, and
then he is sued for the keep of the child when he
wishes to have possession of it.

Mr. Jones—But there was a special agreement in
this case.

Defendant—l deny it.
His Honour said that as the special agreement
was denied, and as defendant had sworn that the
child was away without his consent, the Court
would not make any order against him, and plaintiff
must be non-suited.
Plaintiff non-suited accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

A DISTIONIST BARMAN.—John Hutchinson was charged
with stealing ono shilling, the property of John Edwin
Chapplo, a publican in the city.
Mr. Lewis, senior, appeared for the prosecution, and
said that although the prisoner was charged merely with
stealing ono shilling, there was every reason to believe
that he had been guilty of peculation to the extent of
about £l2. kappeared that he entered the service of the
prosecutor 11 weeks ago at a salary of Bs. a week. He was
then in a very bad and apparently destitute condition,
having scarcely any clothes. Ho asked the prosecutor to
lend him 55., which the latter did. Seeing that the pri-
soner had got very good clothes after acme weeks, as well
as plenty of money, and missing money on several occa-
sions, his suspicions were aroused. Ho consulted a police-
man, and it was arranged that a shilling should be marked
and placed in the till. His boxes were then broken
open, and £7- 10s. were found in them, in gold
and silver, as well as it I ottle of wine and some
drawn bottles. On his person £2O and a quantity
of silver was found. The prosecutor was only
a short time in business, but he had lost on an average
between £3 and £1 a day.

The evidence fully confirmed the preceding statement,
but in the course of the examination by Mr. Beard, who
appeared for the prisoner, it appeared that he had received
a good character from Mr. Brett, the distiller.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A BETTING' TRANSACTION.—Frederick Landre, bar-
keeper at the London Pavilion Music Hall, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Joseph Rosen-
thal, jeweller, of 18, Arundel-street, Panton-square.
Mr. Sayers, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant,
and, having stated the nature of the case, said that as the
defendant, whon charged with the assault, made very light
of it, saying that he had plenty of money and could only
be fined, he hoped his worship would teach him differently,
and not impose a fine for such a brutal assault as the de-
fendant had committed.

Mr. Rosenthal said that he had had a dispute with the
defendant, who was a bar-keeper at the London Pavilion
respecting a bet. On the previous evening the defendant
came up to him in Rupert-street, and said, " Are you not
going to settle that bet ?" He told the defendant that he
had not received the money, and the defendant then spat
in his face, called him a " Jew," and kicked him
Alter tripping him up he kicked him while ho was lying
on the ground by the Crown Tavern ; one of the kicks
being on the mouth, and others abAtt the head. He could
not see a policeman, and believed if some persons had not
come to his assistance ho would have boon killed, as the
defendant pinned him by the arms and kicked him deli-
berately, ho (complainant) having his hands at the time in
his loose jacket pockets. At the time he had seven or
eight watches in his pocket, and a quantity of small
articles- of jewellery which ho was going to show to a cus-

tomer, and he lost two locket; and had his breast-pin,
which he much valued, broken in two.
The defendant said all ho did was in self-defence. The
defendant owed him £5 for eight weeks, and then made
several appointments in which to settle it, but had Inver
done so, and never could be found at home.
Mr. Palling, of No. 34, Southampton-street, Strand,
carpenter, said that ho was in Regent-street yesterday
evening, and saw tho defendant place his left hand on the
complainant's neck and force him down on the ground,
and then commence kicking him in the face with his right
foot and beat him about with his pot, and the complainant
bled very much. He (witness) went Across the road to
pull the defendant off the complainant, but another person
did so before he got up. lie never saw a more brutal
assault in his life, and while going to the station the de-
fendant seemed to make quite a triumph of it, saying that
he had plenty of money and did not care for the complain-
ant, as they could only lock him up and fine him, and ho
did not care for that.
Mr. T. C. Weller, No. 5, Archer-street, 'Windmill-street
gave similar evidence to the previous witness, and proved
pulling the defendant from the complainant, the latter

Last week opened with a breezy fine day, wind
N.W. Monday proved fine, but was thick at times,
and threatening. Tuesday was a very wet day, put-
ing a complete stop to harvest work.; wind S.W.,
thermometer 65 deg., barometer 29.80 in. Our ad-
vices on that day were as under :—From the West
Riding of Yorkshire, " The weather on Saturday
and Sunday was summerlike and forcing, but yes-
terday and to-day have been dull and showery,
with a medium temperature, which will suit the root
crops generally, and not do much harm to standing
grain. The hay crop is nearly all secured. Potatoes
are complained of in this district, but 1 hope the
disease is not wide-spread." From the East Riding
it was stated : " Weather on the whole has been
favourable for the growing crops, but harvest is not
likely to commence in earnest for at least 14 or 21
days, under the most favourable circumstances ; of
course early patches may be cut sooner, but we
speak now of general harvest. We again repeat
that the wheat crop is not likely to turn out nearly
so productive as was anticipated some time ago,
although with favourable weather the quality may
prove fine." From Suffolk : " Reaping has com-
menced in some fields of early white wheat ; but
harvest will not be general for 10 days longer. From
the best judgment we can bring to bear upon the
question of the yield of the crop, we feel persuaded
our district will not yield an average crop, while the
quality will mainly depend upon the weather during
the next month. Barley is a full average acreage;
at one time, it promised so badly that we feared it
would be lost. The rains of July greatly revived it,
and we now look for a moderate yield, say about
one-fifth less than on average seasons; while the
quality, from the great bulk of it being laid and the
weeds growing up among it, will be coarser than
could be desired. Beans are a large crop, and
promise unusual abundance, a great fact for our
graziers, who consume all they grow. Peas do not
promise so well as to yield. Potatoes are badly
spoken of, and disease has appeared in many places."
Some slight rain fell at 9 a.m. on Wednesday,
which was showery up fo noon, with some smart rain
occasionally afterwards, and the night unsettled.
No harvest work, where such was the case, could
be accomplished. From the east coast of Scotland
it was remarked : " We have bad a week of favour-
able weather for our growing crops." On the west
coast : " The weather has continued favourable."
On Thursday showers fell from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but
afterwards the day became sunny and more promis-
ing, with a higher temperature. Our advises were—
From the coast of Suffolk : " We had fine weather
up to Tuesday morning last, when it was wet all day,
yesterday we had light showers, but to-day is dry,
although cloudy. Thus far, from the very dry
season we have lately had iu this district, the rain has
done us good, but we have now had quite enough,
and shall rejoice to see bright, dry, warm, ripening
weather. A chance piece of Talavera wheat is cut
round us, but harvest has made slow progress, and
will not be general here before the 19th inst. ; even
with fine dry favourable weather we cannot look for
a moderate supply of new wheat before September."
From Warwickshire on the same day : " Until Mo-
nday evening, weather in this district continued fine,
but sunless. Monday night we had heavy rain,
Tuesday showers with more rain at night, Wednes-
day and to-day mostly fine. On the whole it is very
unfavourable for harvest operations, and sadly re-
tards the ripening of the corn crops, whilst farmers
are looking most anxiously for some hot sunny
weather." From Buckinghamshire : " The crops
are much laid in consequence of the heavy rains, and
on the deep heavy land much blight is to be seen,
and the quality and quantity must be very variable
Reaping will be pretty general next week—little has
been cut up to the present time. Spring-sown oats
are very:green. The harvest will be a long, dragging
one." Friday was a fine day, although occasionally
`ireatening, and harvest work was proceeded with.

Our advices run thus from Devonshire : " The last
two days have been bright and sunny ; but I fear
the weather is not settled. Harvest is fully on, and
the state of the weather for the next two or three
weeks will be of the utmost importance. Considerable
complaint is now made by farmers as to the damage
done by rain and rust : the amount of loss on
anticipated crop of wheat during the last fortnight
being from five to ten bushels per acre. I am by
no means sure that this will be found correct. I
am still hopeful for the crop of wheat, if it be well
saved." From the West Riding of Yorkshire our
advices stated : " Since Tuesday the weather,
though unsettled, has not been mischievous ; a
few days of canny weather would alter the
appearance of the crops materially and bring on
harvest quickly; in fact, wheat cutting has begun
in this neighbourhood in an isolated case or so."
From Lincolnshire : " Harvest has not yet com-
menced in this district ; but may partially begin in
a week, though generally we are yet a fortnight
off. The grain appears to be filling well, and with
fine weather a good quality may be looked for,
especially of barley. There are, however, some
casesof mildew in the wheat, which when they occur
must do mischief." From Essex, in the neighbour-
hood of Malden : " The weather since our last has
generally been cool and cloudy,with some days very
wet. Under such circumstances our grain crops
ripen slowly, and harvest is necessarily delayed."
From Norfolk, in the neighbourhood of Downham
Market : " We have had some rough weather this
week, and I fear our wheat crop is taking harm."
Saturday was a fine sunny day, and much harvest
work would be well accomplished in all the early
districts, farmers being most anxious to get on now
that the time has arrived when great progress
should be made. The week closed with a good
prospect as regards the weather, thebarometer being
steadily rising, and appearances more favourable.—
