THAMES.

FALSELY IMPRISONED. Thomas Moss, a cabman,
about 40 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged
with being drunk and with wilful damage.
It appeared that the prisoner was lying on the pavement
near a box and blacking belonging to ono of the shoo-
black boys. Some of the brigade boys commenced pelting
him, and he took up a box and threw it with its contents
into the road. The box was broken and the blacking
wasted. Tho matter was reported to Mr. Chas. Hawkins,
Inspector of the East London Shoo Black Society, who
gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Paget was of opinion the prisoner had been impro-
porlylocked up allnight, and that he ought not to have been
detained. The inspector ought to have ascertained the pri-
soner's address and summoned him. The prisoner was not
committing any offence, of which the police could take
cognisance, and was pelted with a variety of things by the
shoe black boys, and in a moment of irritation at such
treatment, threw one of the boxes into the road. The con-
duct of the inspector of the East London She eblack So-
ciety was most improper. Inspector Dandy, who was said
to have taken the charge at the Leman-street station-
house, was an old and experienced officer, and had always
done his duty in a very admirable manner. He would assume
that Mr. Drndy had don his duty properly, and had been
misled. He should like to sae Inspector Dandy in the
course of the day, and directed that he should be sent for.
He discharged the prisoner.

MARKETS. ---This Day.

MARK-LANE,

Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat from Essex and
Kent were very moderate, but in fair condition. For both
red and white parcels the trade was decidedly quiet at
prices about equal to Monday.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on offer. The
transactions in all _qualities were to a very moderate ex-
tent. In prices, however, no quotable change took place.
In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly at
drooping prices.
Barley—the show of which was moderate—was in slug-
gish request at the late decline in the quotations.
Malt was in slow request at Monday's currency.
The supply of oats on sale was large. The trade was
dull at a decline of 6d to is per qr.
Beans and peas were very dull on easier terms.

CA MBRIDGES HIRE.

The re-election of Lord Royston, Comptroller of
her Majesty's Household, as member for Cambridge-
shire, took place yesterday morning at the County
Courts at Chesterton. The Proceedings com-
menced at 10 o'olock, but as it was known there
would be no opposition the attendance was com-
paratively meagre, the Crown Court being but
tolerably filled so far as numbers went. The High
Sheriff, the Hon Octavius Duncombe, presided.
After the usual formalities Mr. St. Quintin (Hatley
Park) proposed Viscount Royston ; Mr. Cropley
(Ely) seconded the nomination, There being no
other candidate proposed the High Sheriff declared
Viscount Royston duly elected amid the cheers of
his supporters.
