WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool are now concluded.
The principal buyers at the sales have been from France,
about two-thirds of the supply brought forward having
been taken for that destination. Yorkshire buyers have
operated to a limited extent, owing chiefly to the unfavour-
ble position of financial affairs here. The fall in prices

wore from ld to 3id por lb. Privately, the English wool
trade is dull on easier terms.

POLICE 3NTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROULETTE PLAYING IN HYDE-PARK.—Thos David; a

well-dressed young man, described as a clerk, living at 33,

Lawrence-street, Walwortb, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with playing at a game called roulette in Hyde-
park.
Inspector Green, of the A division, said—l was in Hyde-
park on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, when I saw
the prisoner playing at roulette, a large number of persons
being round him at the time. I saw the prisoner take up
some money from the board and I then seized him and
found 3d. in his hand, and on my charging him with
gambling ho said that ho certainly was playing, but that
he was ignorant it was against the law. On searching him
I found £1 10s. in gold and £1 14s. in silver upon him. I
believe him to be respectable.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Respectablo ! Because you found the
money on him, I suppose.
The Inspector—His father is a respectable man.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Does the prisoner wish to say anything ?
The prisoner—l am in such a novel position that 1
hardly know what to say.
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to tho prisoner)—You perfectly well
know that gambling in the park is not allowed. Your
conduct has been most mischievous in robbing persons of
their money, for it is well-known that it is 100 per cent. in
favour of the person who keeps the roulette table. I shall
fine you 40s. or a month.
Tho apparatus used by the prisoner, and which was ex-
hibited to the magistrate, was of tho usual kind to be seen
in the hands of gamblers on racecourses.

ROBBERIES AT TILE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.—John Downes,
a labourer, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with steal-
ing a gold watch, of the value of £2O, from the person of
a gentleman named Pollen, residing at Brompton.
The prosecutor said that on Saturday evening, about
seven o'clock, he was near the flag-staff at the Volunteer
Review in Hyde Park, when, just as the ladies and gen-
tlemen wore leaving, there was a great pressure caused by
the crowd, and ho felt himself touched, and at the same
time heard the click like that of a pistol. On putting his
hand down it came in contact with the prisoner's wrist,
and directly after he missed his watch, of the value of £2O.
He immediately seized the prisoner, who let his watch,
which was broken at the bow, fall at his feet. He then
called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody, being
determined to prosecute him for the protection of the
public. _ _ _ _ -
