MARKETS.—This day.

• -
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market, to-day was but moderately supplied with
beasts. For most breads the demandruled steady, at prices
fully equal to Monday. The top quotation was quite 5s 4d
per 81bs. The show of sheep was rather limited, but in
fair average condition. Sales progressed steadily, at ex-
treme currencies. The best Downs and half-brads were
worth 6s 4d per 81bs. Calves were in short supply, and
fair request, at full prices. There was a slight improve-
ment in the demand for pigs on former terms.

Central Criminal Court.—This Day.

(Before the Recorder.)
THE CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST THE
POLICE.

The case of Matthew Hayes, the police-constable of the
S division; was resumed this morning.
The Recorder summed up the evidence in the most im-
partial and minute manner, after which the jury retired to
consider their verdict.

After an absence of about an hour and a half the jury
returned to their box in court.
The Clerk of Arraigns, having called over their names,
asked whether they had agreed to their verdict ?
The Foreman said they found the prisoner guilty.

Barry, the other policeman charged with the same
offence, but who was acquitted last session, was then called
upon to surrender in order that the indictment for conspi-
racy against both prisoners might be proceeded with.
Mr. 31ontegue Williams said, in the absence of Mr.
Sleigh, he had to ask that the trial of that indictment
might be delayed for a short time. -
The application was granted.
Later in the day Mr. Sleigh entered the court, and, ad-
dressing the Recorder, said —With reference to the indict-
ments against Hayes and Barry, there was one for con-
spiring yet remaining for disposal. He, on the
part of the prosecution, had no wish to press the
matter further, as the jury had found Hayes, who
was the principal in the matter, guilty of the
perjury imputed to him. He had, however, no indisposi-
tion to proceed with the indictment for conspiracy, but at
that moment he did not think 'it would be proper to go
on with it. He should be perfectly prepared next session
if the counsel appearing for the prisoner wished he should
do so.
Mr. Cooper said ho should by all means desire the in-
dictment for conspiracy to be tried as early as possible.
Mr. Sleigh thought it but fair that the case should be
heard by a jury who had not been in attendance at that
session.

The Recorder thought it would be better to apply for a
writ of certiorari to remove the case to a superior court for
trial.

Mr. Sleigh agreed with the Recorder that that would be
the proper course.
Mr. Gioper felt most anxious that the trial should be
taken with as little delay, as possible.

. _
Mr. Sleigh was quite as anxious as his learned friend
about the matter, and he then gave him notice that ho
should take the necessary steps for the removal of the trial
for conspiracy from the Central Criminal Court to the
Court of Queen's Bench, to be there tried by the Lord
Chief Justice and a special Jury.
The greatest interest was manifested in the court, which
was crowded to excess during the whole of the proceedings.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
CHARGE OF WILFUL NEGLECT.

Charlotte Power was indicted for causing the death of
her infant child, by wilful neglect.
The evidence showed a courseof dissipation on the part
of the p7isoner, during which time she neglected her child,
and its death was the result.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned
judge said it had not been proved that beating had formed
a portion of her cruel conduct, but that sho appeared
to have depended upon others while sho went out drink-
ing. He therefore sentenced her to 6 months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.
