BOROUGH HOP.

Owing to the continued fine weather the hops present a
more favourable appearance, and wo think there is every
Progpectof a full average crop. The demand for all kinds is
extremely dull ; nevertheless, prices are without any mate-
rial change.

WOOL.
The second series of public sales of colonial wool closed
on the 29th ult.. Over 182,000 bales passed the hammer,
of which about 95,000 bales were taken for the Continent•
Prices have shown considerable fluctuation, and on the
average show ld per lb. decline when compared with
March rates, although during the last few days the full
values of that date have been obtained. The quotations
are as follow :

From the opening statement of .eounsel it ap-
peared that in April last the defenda•'„'s xife called
at the establishment of the plaintitf and saw the
foreman. She said she wanted to r, irchase a draw-
ing-room suite, and she selected articles to the
amount is dispute. She said that she had
no money about her, but that if the fureinan
would make out an invoice and send it to her resi-
dence, she would let him have £5 on :account.
The inkstand having been upset he wrote the in-
voice iu pencil, and sent it to the house of the de-
fendant in Colchester-street, Pimlico. The £5 waa
paid, but the day after the defendant called, and
having seen the furniture, said it was not what he
wanted, and offered to purchase goods to the amount
of £6 55., provided the receipt given for .the £5.
was cancelled. Mr. Isaacs refused, but said that
he would allow the defendant to have other goods
to the amount of those purchased. The plaintiff
sent the goods to the defendant's house, but they
were not received; and the defendant's solicitor
wrote to the plaintiff, accusing him of baying ob-
tained £5 under false pretence; and threatening to
bring the matter before a magistrate unless the
money was returned, but no such proceeding was
taken. The defendant also threatened the plaintiff
with a penalty of £lO for bis foreman having given
a receipt in pencil. When the messenger was sent
with the invoice to the house of the . plaintiff, she
heard the wife of the latter say to him, " I have
bought such a beautiful lot of furniture."
The defence was that the £5 was left merely as a
deposit for the goods, in the event of the plaintiff
approving of them. .

POLICE INTELLIGEt/CE.—This Day.

THAMES.

A RUFFIAN WELL PUNISHED.—MichaeI Don-
nelly, an Irish labourer, aged 50, of No. 16, Samuel-
street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with violently assaulting and wounding
Isabella M'Farlane, whose head was bandaged.
She was in a weakly condition from loss of blood.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecu-
tion, and said the poor woman for whom he ap-
peared had been savagely assaulted, and she had
been under medical treatment for nine days. The
prisoner was the landlord of the house in which the
parties lived, and there were some differences be-
tween them. The prisoner threatened to knock out
the brains of the woman and her son. The pri-
soner's wife threw a lot of cold water over the com-
plainant, who soon afterwards went down stairs to
open the door for her son. The prisoner followed
her and struck her a tremendous blow on the
head with a piece of hard wood. She was
knocked down, a :severe wound was iliflicted,
and she lost three pints of blood. The complainant
was taken to the police-station and attended there
by a surgeon. She was afterwards in the hospital
till *Wednesday last.

The statement of Mr. Stoddart was confirmed by
the complainant and other witnesses, and by Joseph
Halliday, police-constable 329 K, who produced a

block of hard wood with which the wound had been
inflicted.

Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. John Hodgson, solicitor,
set up a defence that the complaisant was the
aggressor, and called witnesses.
Mr. Paget was of opinion that the defence was
untrue, and concocted for the purpose of relieving
the prisoner of the consequences of a serious offence.
_ . .

Mr. Gomm said he only acted on his instructions
given to him by the prisoner and his friends.
Mr. Paget— A brutal and rufl'imly assault has
been committed,lor which I sentence the prisoner
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.
