CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

abed four-teen; -wo.sindicted-for stealing
twenty yards of cotton, the property of John 'Dent and
another, linendrapers, of Crawford-street, Marylebone.
A second indictment charged her with stealing twenty-
one yards of cotton, the property of William Allen, a linen-
draper, of Crawford-street, Marylebone.
She was convicted on each indictment.
Ashton was indicted for stealing a saddle, value five
shillings.
A postboy rode to the Morning Advertiser newspaper
office at about half-past eleven on the night of the sth
inst., and when he got off the horse the prisoner inquired
if 'he should mind it. It was left in his care and on the
return of the boy the saddle had been taken rather too
much care of. The prisoner was stopped with it half an
hour afterwards in Breams-buildings, Chancery-lane. Ver-
dict—Guilty.
George Jones, a very respectable looking man, about
forty years of age, was indicted for stealing some trivial arti-
cles from his furnished apartments.
A second indictment charged him with the,commission
of a similar offence.

...... _ _
The prisoner pleaded guilty, but stated that he had been
a man who in former yeari had moved in a very good
sphere of life : so much so, that at the time of his mar-
riage, about ten years since, he had settled a thousand
pounds upon his wife. Losses in trade (that of a surgeon),
added to a protracted and expensive lawsuit against the
executors, had combined with other incidents to effect his
ruin. His wife was living, and she and her child of eight
years old were starving, as well as himself. She was in a
furnished apartment, and he could not bear to see his wife
and child lingering. He had pledged the articles, but dire
necessity had driven him to it. He bad offered to pay for
the articles (3s. 6d.), if they would give him time, but
Winterburn, the landlord of the house, with the grossest
inhumanity, had refused even to grant an hour's time, and
had given him into custody. Several witnesses gave him
an excellent character. They described him as a gentle-
man, and formerly a man of property. One of them had
collected rents for him, and another knew him as a surgeon
in good practice at Bridgenorth.
The landladies were called up, and they stated their be-
lief that he was in the most abject distress.
The prisoner was called up for judgment, and in a very
feeling address from the Common Sergeant, ordered to be
imprisoned five days from the time the Commission opened
(giving him his immediate discharge).
William Jones, a lad about 17 years of age, was indicted
for stealing a ham.
The case was clearly made out, and proof of the pri-
soner's former conviction for felony given.
The prisoner cross-examined and contradided the wit-
nesses with considerable impudence.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
COMMON SERGEANT—You are too cunning to be here
any longer. You would make a clever fellow in another
country.
Prisoner—Could I ? COMMON SERGEANT—I think so ;
at any rate you shall have a chance of doing so ; that much
I promise you.

SURREY SESSIONS, REIGATE.

THE KING V. POLLEN AND ANOTHER.

Joseph Pollen, Esq., an independent gentleman residing
at -Addlestone, and Mr. Joseph Taylor, an extensive farmer,
and member of the Chobham Hunt, were indicted for as-
saulting Benjamin Thorne, steward to Sir C. Wetherell.
On the part of the prosecution witnesses were called to
prove, that in consequence of the repeated trespassing of
sporting gentlemen on the estate of Sir Charles Wetherell,
Addlestone Grove, Thorne was desired to be particular in
keeping out intruders. On the 17th of January last the
members of the Chobham Hunt, amongst whom were the
prisoners, assembled at Addlestone, and after a short chace
they lost scent of puss, who they imagined had hidden her-
self in Sir Charles's shrubbely. The prisoners rode on
horseback to the place where they conceived puss was con-
cealed, and Thorne seeing them trespassing on his master's
property, called out to them, and they made for. the gate
leading to the meadow, which Thorne attempted to close
against them, but the prisoners rode up against the gate with
much violence, which flew back and struck Thorne in the
breast, and so injured him, that he was unable to go to his
work for several days afterwards. When Thorne remon-
strated with the prisoners for trespassing on Sir Charles's
estate Taylor called him a d—d rascal ; and Pollen
_said
" If he was Mr. Taylor he would horsewhip him (Thorne)."
Taylor availed himself of this hint, flogged Thorne severely,
and left several weales on his balk and loins. Mr. Pollen
during the chastisement exclaimed, " Give it to him—give
it to him ; d—e, if I was you I'd give the other end ;" and
shortly after he flourished his whip over Thorne's head.
The witnesses underwent a severe cross-examination by
the Counsel for the defence, and Thorne admitted that he
was very angry when he met Mr. Taylor, and that he
slammed the gate against his hoise.
The Jury after a short consultation returned a verdict of
Acquittal against both defendants.
The trial lasted from nine o'clock in the morning until
two in the afternoon, and the result was looked to with
great anxiety by the numerous circle of friends by whom
the defendants were surrounded.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current.)

SUGAR.—There has been a heaviness about the West
India Sugar market, and the buyers have been enabled
to purchase on Ipwer terms. The estimated sales of West
India Sugars are 1,800 hhds. and trs., the general appearance
of the market is great heaviness, particularly for the lower de-
scriptions, which are purchased on easier terms, but when good
coloury and useful descriptions are brought forward, they meet
immediate sale at full prices, we have never seen a worse show
of Sugars than at the present time. In Refined there is little
alteration to notice in the prices, the sales are still on a limited
scale.

MAURITIUS.—The public sales of Mauritius Sugar have
gone off heavily, and all descriptions except for Refining are
a shade lower. The public sale this forenoon 6,166 bags
Mauritius sold on easier terms, yellow 535. a 615., grey 525.
6d. a 565., the coloury Sugars fully supported prices, but
generally the sale went off at a decline in the prices of fully
6d. per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—The purchases of East India Sugars are
large parcels of Siam at 255. 6d. a 275., yellow and white 275.
a 285., which was rather higher, brown Java 235. 6d. a 255.
6d., grey 265. a 275., Bengal good to fine white 275. 6d.
a 345. This days public sales 1,058 bags 310 bskts East
India Sugar, Siam 265. 6d. a 28s. 6d. Java 255. 6d. a 285.,
nearly former prices.
FOREIGN.—There are no public, sales of Foreign Sugar
since Friday last, several purchases by private contract are
reported, white Bahia 28s. a 28s. 6d., a cargo of Pernams for
Amsterdam, white 28s. a 28s. 6d. also reported.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There are several sales of West
India Molasses reported, good old Demerara 225. 6d., good
new 235. and 235. 6d.

COFFEE.—The Coffee market has been very heavy, but the
prices are nominally'the same as last week, the buyers will not
give the prices demanded by the holders, and the latter evince
no disposition to give way, large parcels Brazil taken in Ms. 6d.
a 565., a few bags fine ordinary sold at 555. 6d., ordinary brown
Sumatra sold 38s. a 405., good ordinary at 41s. 6d. and 425.,
good ordinary brown Mocha 68s. The public sale of Coffee
contained only 14 bags, too inconsiderable to form a criterion.
The Market generally for Foreign and East India is very heavy
and ls. lower. The purchases privately are a parcel of Brazil
at the above reduction, and a cargo of St. Domingo afloat for
Copenhagen at 535. 6d. British Plantation Coffee is very firm.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum market has as-
sumed a more firm appearance, and the trade now wait further
arrivals, as few parcels are now left in the importers' hands,
the only sale reported is a parcel of Leewards 5 over at 2s. Id.
a 2s. lid., proofs may be quoted nominally 2s. a 2s. ld. IN
Jamaica no sales are reported, but they are held with more
firmness. There is no new feature in Brandy or Geneva.

TALLOW.—The Tallow market appears more firm, he ex-
tensive Russian speculators having refused to sell any ore
Tallow at the present prices, appears to have infused consider-
able firmness. The accounts from Russia to-day state the
winter had been mild, which would prevent the usual supply of
Tallow, &c. being brought to market ; the extensive Russian
speculators in consequence hold Tallow with increasing firm-
ness.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—There is not much doing in Bacon, the
prices continue to advance, the trade can buy landed at a
lower rate than for shipment. The Butter season is almost
over, and what there is here is very dull of sale.
SPlcEs.—Pepper maintained the late advance of id. per lb.
Pimento remains nominally at the late quotations, but there
are no transactions reported. Cassia Lignea is rather higher,
ord. to mid. sold 635. 6d. a 655. This day's sales 523 boxes
Cassia Lignea 645. a 645. 6d., steady prices; 755 bags Pepper,
common light dusty Sumatra 4d. a 4d., the latter rather
higher.
SILK.—The market continues in the same dull state as for
some time past ; there has been a further arrival from China of
105 bales raw Silk, per Berwickshire, but the market bas not
been affected.

WooL.—The market continues brisk. There have again
been large purchases for exportation to America, at still higher
prices.
Rica.--There is no alteration to notice in Rice.

SPELTER.—The market is more firm, parcels on the spot
about 15/. a 151. 10s., and it is reported that nearly 500 tons
have been contracted for, for arrival at 141.

SALTPETRE.—There is little variation in Saltpetre by pri-
vate contract. By Public Sales this day 2076 bags Saltpetre,
si to 81 refraction, sold at 265. 6d. about 6d. per cwt. lower.
NITRATE OF SODA.--A parcel of good refraction has been
sold at 225., but the general quotation is 21s. 6d. a 21s. 9d.
exclusive of duty and South Sea dues.
INotoo.—The sales of Indigo commenced on Tuesday last,
the ord. sold heavily at January sales prices, the good and fine
at a reduction of 3d. a 4d. per lb., but as the sales proceeded,
lower rates were submitted to, and the trade appeared in a
state of complete inactivity till Wednesday, when a panic took
place owing to a large holder and firm supporter of the market

for several years, suddenly giving way and ordering all his In-
digo to be peremptorily sold at whatever prices could be ob-
tained, and without any reserve whatever; the consequence-was
a further fall of prices, making a reduction in the prices com-
pared with the January rates of 3d. a 9d. per lb.
FOURTH DAY'S SALE OF INDIOO.-590 chests have pole
the sale this day, making in all 3,213 chests passed the
Sale ; of this day's Sale 270 chests of good quality (one pro-
perty) were all bought in at prices fully equal to those paid in
the January Sale ; the remainder sold with more spirit at a
slight improvement on the rates established on the second and
third days. 645 chests are left for sale on Monday.
TEA.—The large sales advertised, 50,000 chests containing
about three millions of lbs. about a half of a usual East India
House sale, have caused a cessation of business in the market,
and the trade of course, as well as the importers must antici-
pate lower rates. The large sale of the cargoes of the Hythe
and Berwickshire are to precede the Company's sale a few
days, and the Tea trade no doubt will supply themselves from
that sale rather than wait for the Company's, when (the Teas
being taxed at higher rates than the Merchants will take) they
cannot buy so well.
FRUlT.—Currants have been in extensive demand, new
Zante at 61s. sold in, extensive parcels the holders now ask
625., and few sellers, as the holders anticipate a farther ad-
vance. Extensive purchases of Muscatel Raisins have been
reported for the American market.
