A RECEIVER IN TROUBLE WITH A BAR OF SILVER.—
Christian Freeman, a dirty-looking foreign Jew, aged 64,
who described himself as a painter and glazier, of No. 18,
Buckle-street, Whitechapel, was charged with the unlaw-
ful possession of an ingot of silver, weighing 9k lbs.
Joseph Huggett, a detective police-sergeant of the City
police force, stated that, yesterday afternoon, he met the
prisoner in Buckle-street, Whitechapel, and knowing him
to be a receiver of stolen property, and perceiving something
bulky in one of his pockets he stopped him and searched
him, and found the ingot of silver, now produced, in his
pocket. It was japanned all over with black japan.
He ( the detective - officer) asked the prisoner where
he obtained the bar of silver, to which he replied
that he met with a man near the London Hospital in the
White,chapel-road, who asked him to bay the silver bar,
and he did so. He asked the prisoner if he knew the man.
The prisoner said he did not, and that ho never saw him
before. He believed the silver was the produce of some
burglary.

The prisoner, who is rather deaf, said he had not heard
what was said, on which Roche, the gaoler, shouted the
evidence in his ears, and the prisoner, in broken English,
repeated what he had said to the officer.
Mr. Yardley—What, is it customary to buy ingots of
silver in the Whitechapel-road ?

The Prisoner—Yes, mine worship.
Mr. Yardley—The case is a very suspicious one. You
are remanded until Friday.
STEALING A LOAF OF SUGAR.—Jeremiah Driscoll, aged
17, described as a labourer, of No. 2, King John's-court,

stealing a loaf of refined sugar weighing 26 lbs., and value
155., from the shop of Mr. William Stewart, grocer, of No.
5, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar.

Mr. Stewart said the prisoner entered his shop yesterday
afternoon, and took the loaf of sugar from among others, and
walked out of the shop with it. 110,3 vent after the prisoner
and overtook him 20 yards from the shop with the sugar in
his possession.

the sugar, and asked him to carry it, but on the deposi-
tions being completed, he said ho was guilty, and Roche, the
gaoler, said he was an old offender.
Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

A large attendance, but the time was principally occu-
pied by a discussion of the probable weights for the Chester
Cup, and the causes whichh-have led to the retrogression of
Ralph° for the Two Thousand. The betting on the Chester
Cup
_was unimportant, and neither of the favourites were
backed. The Derby quotations show no material change.
