" FILIAL PEGARD."—Robert Jones, carpenter and joiner,
was charged with assaulting and threatening his father.
Complainant said that his son lived with him at 15,
Brewer-street, Pimlico, and he had recently kept him
while out of work for six weeks, for which he had made
a very ungrateful return. Ho at last got defendant a job
in Regent-street, but he would not go to his work. He
was out all night, and could not go to work in the morn-
ing. Yesterday at dinner time the defendant found fault
with some meat which bad been cooked for him, and
slapped it in complainant's face. He left home, and when
he returned to his tea his son re-commenced his miscon-
duct, and was becoming very violent with another person
when complainant interfered to restore order, and then
defendant struck him a violent blow on the eye, and
thituatened to have his life. He said ho would have his
liver out.

Mr. Solfe (to defendant)—Mould you like to ask your
father anything?

Defendant—lt's no use, he's such a fearful liar. Yes, 1
will ask him a question. Did you not hit me first ?
Complainant—No, I did not.

Defendant—You aro a liar.
Mr. Selfe—l will not have such behaviour here. Be-
have with decency if you can, sir. You have no business
to use such language to your father, especially here.
Defendant went into a long story about family matters,
101 complaining of what he had to put up with at home, and
said his father struck him first.
Mr. Selfe told him he had no business at home at his
time of life, and all the things he had said were additional
reasons why he should leave it.
Mr. Selfe said he would not deal with the assault, but
would take care ho kept the peace for three months to
come.
21t He was ordered to find bail for that time.

THAMES.

E chargedl e n
Lynch,with a prostitute, was
ugknocking a man's
Drought
AThut TRIFLING
3rAir.rparg.e—t,
hat off.

Mr. William Perchell, a Custom-house officer, said he
was passing along Cable-street,. Whitechapel, yesterday
afternoon, with a Southampton friend, when the prisoner
knocked his hat off. It fell in the mud. Ho offered no
provocation whatever.
Robert Billings, a police constable, No. 103 H, said he
took the prisoner into custody, and the prosecutor charge'
her with demanding money of him for five nights' lodging,
although he had never seen her before, and on his telling
her to get away she knocked Lis hat off. Tho prisoner
was intoxicated. _

In defence, the prisoner said she met with some sailors,
who shoved her against tho prosecutor, and his hat foil
off.

Mr. Pagot asked the constable Billings if he knew the
prisoner.
Billings—Yes, sir; I know her name; she is a disor-
derly prostitute.
Mr. Paget—And you know her name, and whore she
lives ?

Billings—Yes, sir, I do.
Mr. Paget —I think you had better have left the com-
plainant to his remedy by summons.
Billings—A respectable man was passing along the
street, and his hat is knocked off by a prostitute—she is
a very drunken, disorderly woman.
Mr. Paget—Yes, you aro perfectly right in looking after
these disordely women, but in a trifling affair like this you
had scarcely occasion to interfere. You could have di-
rected the complainant to this court instead of taking her
into custody. I shall allow her to be discharged.
CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—A Spanish sailor,
who gave the name of Lawrence Holmes, and whose ship
is lying in the river off Millwall, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with cutting and wounding William Romero,
another seaman, who was stated to be on board the Dread-
nought Hospital ship and in a very dangerous condition.
M. Romero, a Spanish boardinghouse-keeper, of No. 62,
Upper East Smithfield, said he was no relation to the
wounded man. He saw the prisoner and Romero on board
ship in the Wrest India Dock, yesterday afternoon. They
were struggling, and one was on the top of the other alter-
nately. He separated them, and saw that Romero was
bleeding from a wound on the chest, and that he had a
knife, stained with blood, in his hand. He took the knife
from the prisoner and threw it on the deck.
Mr. Paget—Was the wounded man taken to the
hospital ?

Witness—Yes, sir, directly; he bled very much.
Mr. Pagot directed the witness to repeat the evidence in
the Spanish language to the prisoner, and, that having
been done, he remanded the prisoner for a week.

MARKETS.—This day.

Although tho supply of English wheat hero, to-day, was
very limited, all kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's de-
cline in the quotations.

The first imports of foreign wheat havo been moderate,
viz, 14,360 quarters; but the show of samples was on the
increase. The trade was heavy iu the extreme, and the
quotations were almost nominal.
In floating cargoes of grain scarcely a transaction took
place.

The few samples of barley brought forward were hold
at full quotations.
The malt trade was heavy, on former terms.
Oats were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
Beans and peas wore quite as dear as last week; but
flour was a slow inquiry.

STRIKE AGAINST A NON-UNIONIST MAN.—Last
week 20 masons in the employ of Messrs. Wood, builders,
Derby, struck work, ill consequence of the firm having re-
fused
anon-society
etY man. The man has worked
for years, and he has won their
Messrs. to
Wood
for several
confidence to such an extent that they have placed him in
the position of foreman. The facts of the case are as fol-
lows :—On Tuesday, the Bth of May, two delegates from
the Masons' Society went to Messrs. Wood with a request
that they would discharge their foreman at once, or insist
on his joining the union; but each of the proposals the
firm decidedly refused to accept. On the Monday morning
following the men all struck, those ont of the town as well
as those at the works being warned from working. The
firm is now without a mason—excypting, of course, the
one on whose account the turn-out has taken place—and
all their works are stopped ; but they hold to their deter-
mination nut to succumb, but rather to relinquish that
branch of their business. _

TUE TICIIBORNE BARONETCY.—BIRTII OF A
Sox.—News reached Winchester yesterday afternoon that
the wife of Sir Roger Tichborne, the claimant to the Tich-
borne estates, had been safely delivered of a son at eleven
o'clock on Monday morning. The bells of the old cathe-
dral were immediately set ringing, and continued to pour
forth their notes of rejoicing for some hours to celebrate
the event. It would appear tbat at last some decided steps
are about to be taken by Sir Roger Tichborne to establish
his claim to the baronetcy. Several bills have been
printed ready for filing in the Court of Chancery, a step
which, it is expected, will be taken almost immediately,
but up to Saturday, it is understood, nothing definite had
taken place in this respect.
