MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AGGRAVATED AND BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—
Richard Worrell, a tall stout man, was charged with the
following brutal assault on a female named Clara O'Don-
nel

On the case being called' on, the constable who had
charge of the case said he was informed the prosecutrix
would not attend; but Mr. Beadon said he would hear the
nature of the case, and the evidence of some of the wit-
nesses proving that a most brutal assault had been com-
mitted on the prosecutrix, sent for her, and she shortly
afterwards appeared in court with her face covered with
adhesive plaster, and evidently in a state of great suffering.

On being sworn, she said her name was Clara O'Donnel,
that she lived at 16, Union •street, and was acquainted with
the prisoner. On the previous night she went to fetch the
prisoner home, when a female said something to her she
did not like, and the prisoner did not take her part, and
when he came home he struck her a blow on the face,
knocking her down -aild 'rendering her insensible. The
prosecutrit (who gave her evidence evidently in a manner
to screen the prisoner), wasquestioned by the magistrate,
and said the prisoner did not give her the serious blow on
her eye; it was done by falling on the fender; but the
other witnesses said she was not near the fender at the
time.

Mr. Beadon said it was lucky for him, after such a blow
as he had given the female, he was not before him for man-
slaughter, and comitted the prisoner for a month.

ROBBERY BY AN AUSTRIAN SAlLOR.—Vincent Mar-
ciovitch, an Austro-Italian seaman, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a purse containing £1 10s.
in gold, and other monies, from the person of a Spanish
sailor.

Mr. F. Pignatilli, a linguist, of Strathmore-terrace,
Back-road, Shadwell, was sworn to interpret, and he
had a difficult task to perform, the evidence of the prosecu-
tor being given in the Spanish language, rendered to the
prisoner in Italian, and translated to the Court in English.
It appeared from the evidence of the Spaniard that he and
the prisoner were lodging in the boarding-house of Mr.
John Seymour, a Greek, at No. 32, Wellclose-square.
Last night they went out together, in company with
their landlord. Witness then had a purse in his
jacket pocket. It contained £1 10s. in gold, and some
silver. They went to a public-house in Rateliff-highway,
and called for some drink. Soon afterwards he looked for
his purso and missed it. The prisoner was gone. He
went home with his landlord and asked the prisoner for his
purse and money. The prisoner denied having seen either,
and said he had only his own money in his possession.
The prisoner, on being asked if ho had any questions to
ask, said he was guilty, and did take the purse and money.
Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for
one month with hard labour.

THIS _DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to .day very little English wheat-came to hand,
coastwise or by land carriage, and the show of samples was
limited. For good and fine qualities the demand ruled
steady, at full quotations. Low and damp parcels moved
off slowly, at Monday's currency.
The amount of business passing in foreign wheat, the
show of which was extensive, at about stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
Grinding barley realised full prices ; but malting and
distilling sorts were dull in sale.
There was very little inquiry for malt, but no disposition
was shown to accept lower rates.
The oat trade was healthy, on former terms.
Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at late rates.
