go far beyond the precincts of the town of Leeds, but it
gives me an opportunity of showing the country, through
the Press, my views on the subject. If you, sir, on all oc-
casions of a public dinner are called upon to listen to what
has occurred there, your time, and the time of the House
of Commons will be occupied, and the interests of the coun-
try at large will be neglected altogether. (Hear, hear.) I
hope, therefore, you will discourage such conduct on the
part of hon. members generally. (Hear, hear.) Ido not
retract one single syllable I made in that speech at Leeds.
My impression, at the time I delivered the speech, was that
my views were correct from beginning to end. That im-
pression has become a conviction, and neither the argu-
ments of the hon. member for Surrey, or those of any other
lion. member in the house itt the present moment, consi-
dering that we have not yet had the report of the Royal
Commission, will not change one iota of my views. (Hear,
hear.) •

POLIC.E INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

A TRAINER OF BOY THIEYES.—Henry Allen, 15, and
Thomas Earle, 12, were charged with frequenting a place
for the purpose of picking pockets.
Mr. Louis Lewis appeared for the prisoners.
Sergeant Coathupe, of the detective force, said ho was
in Oxford-street, and seeing the two prisoners together,
and knowing Allen as the companion of thieves, he watched
them. He saw Allen send Earle across the street, and
Earle then got by the side of a lady and put his left hand
into her dress pocket. Earle left the lady and joined Allen,
and they walked down the street till they cams to the
London Crystal Palace, when each went into an entrance,
came, and joined again. Earle then walked up to a lady,
put his hand into her pocket, and took something out, and
afterwards he saw them dividing some money. He then
took the prisoners into custody.
Mr. Lewis said he had nothing to say on behalf of Allen,
but on the part of Earle he believed that he was the in-
strument of the otherprisoner, and had never been charged
before.

Sergeant Coathupe said there was an officer in attend-
ance who would state that the prisoners had been in the
habit of spending their evenings together at tho house of a
man near Golden-lane, St. Luke's, the man having raffles
at his house, whero a number of young thieves were ac-
customed to meet, and whero they were encouraged.
William Miller, 489, said he knew Allen or King as being
in the habit of taking Earle out, and as the trainer of boy
thieves. He had visited the house spoken of by the ser-
geant, and saw fifty-three thieves there, some of them
much younger than Earle, engaged in a raffle, and the
keeper of the house had been summoned for it. A number
of the thieves he had spoken of were then in court watch-
ing the case.
Mr. Knot said that for Earle's own sake he must rescue
him, as it was obvious he was in the hands of a gang of
thieves and ruffians.

Sergeant Coathupe said the mother of Earle was in
court, and she stepped forward, but Miller, recognising her
as having been convicted for felony, Mr. Knox refused to
hear her.

The master of Allen said he was not aware of her son
doing such things as he was charged with.
Mr. Knox remarked that Allen was not only spoken of
as a thief, but as a trainer of young thieves. He should
send Allen to prison for 14 days, and three years on the
ship Cornwall, and Earle would be sent to Feltham for
three years.

Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were moderate, but in poor condition. Dry samples,
however, moved off steadily, at fully late rates ; otherwise
the trade ruled quiet on former terms.
With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plied. The best descriptions were in fair average request,
at full currencies, but inferior parcels met a slow sale at
late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at pre-
vious quotations.
The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. The
trade for malting descriptions was firm, at full currencies.
Grinding and distilling barley met a slow sale, but at full
prices.
Malt ruled firm at fully late rates.
There was a large supply of oats on sale ; the trade was
dull, and prices were rather lower than on Monday.
Beans and peas met a slow sale at late rates.
There was a fair demand for flour on former terms.
