ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

Owing to the increased easiness of money during
the past week the usual meeting of the Bank of
England directors to-day was invested with more
than ordinary interest, because it was imagined in
speculative channels that a reduction in the mini-
mum rate of discount might be deemed expedient.
No alteration, however, has been made, the official
quotation being maintained at 31 per cent., although
the terms current in the open market continue to
range as low as 2a per cent. It was scarcely be-
lieved in commercial circles, however, that an
immediate relaxation would be announced, and the
course adopted by the authorities has therefore
excited very little discusssion among the mercan-
tile community, although it may has+ caused a
little disappointment to some of the speculators at
the Stock Exchange.

Mr. Hart said—About a month ago I entared into nego-
tiations with Mr. Howard to take his business at 200,
Haymarket. After a good deal of bargaining, I agreed tc give
£l5O for the business, and to pay £3O for repairs, but after-
wards it was arranged that we should be partners; but this
was again upset, and Mr. Howard said I should give him
£l5O, and take all on the premises. I had seen the figures
in question in Mr. Howard's room. On Mr. Howard
leaving he brought down his chest, and I demanded to see
what the box contained. He then asked me " Whether I
was an idiot," but afterwards opened the chest, and then I
found a quantity of bedding, &c., a box of cigars, and two
bottles of wine. I told him he had no right to take the
things, and that I would give him a box of cigars and two
bottles of wine. I afterwards missed the figures. On
Monday last Howard called in to buy a cigar, and I
then asked him for the figures, and he then replied, " Do
you take me for a idiot t Do you think I was going to
let you have everything ?" I then told him that if he did
not let me have the figures I would give him in charge, and
last night I went to his lodgings and gave him in charge.
A constable said he found the figures in the prisoner's
box.

Bertha, and St. Bernard ran in front throughout, the

Prisoner—He bamboozled me out of the cigars.
Mr. Lewis—l think I can soon settle the case. When
did you, Mr. Hart, see the figures last in the house ?
Prosecutor—About a fortnight ago—about the 10th. It
was last Monday when we came to the arrangement that I
was to have all the things on the premises.
Mr. Lewis—And the last time you saw them was on the
10th. There is no proof the things were there last Monday,
and the agreement is dated the 28th.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think I must take it that the things
were there last Monday. Who is to show they were not.
Things seem to have been done in a loose manner. There
is not enough to fix the accused with felony, but I must
say that it was not proper to walk off with the things in
the way Mr. Howard had done. I think I must have some
security.

Mr. Lewis-1 have no objection if Mr. Hart thinks ho
has *ale to the figures to let them remain in the hands
of the police for a fortnight, that Mr. Hart may try the
question at the County Court, but if your worship thinks
there is any case for trial send it.

Subsequently Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed to take the accused's
recognisance to appear in a fortnight.
The accused had in his possession about £2OO, which was
ordered to be given up to him.

- THAMES.
SAILING NEAR THE WIND.—Mr. Smith, an attorney,
came before Mr. Selfe, previous to the hearing of the night
charges, and asked for a summons against a person named
Benjamin Lavey, outfitter, of the West India Dock-road,
Limehouse, for detaining some money belonging to a sailor
named Williams.

Mr. Smith said that the seaman received a £2O Bank of
England note, and some other monies, from his captain, at
a shipping office, and he owed a little money to a boarding-
house keeper, named Judge, with whom he was lodging,
and a little to Lavey. The sailor, accompanied by Judge,
went to Lavey's shop to discharge his account, and handed
to the Jew a £2O note. The money actually owing to
Lavey was £5, and to Judge £1 Ils., but Lavey
kept the £2O note, and refused to give the sailor any change
on the grounds that Judge was indebted to him. He sub
witted that Lavey had no right to detain the sailor's money
for another man's debt, and that, if it was not stealing, it
was sailing very near the wind.

---
Mr. Selfe—Did Judge authorise Lavey to detain the £2O
note ?

Mr. Smith—No, certainly not. Judge went there bone
fide with the sailor to see him discharge a debt, and Lavey
ought to have returned the change (£l6) to the sailor, after
deducting the amount of his debt. I submit it is a most
impudent and illegal proceeding.
Mr. Selfe—No doubt of it. Take a summons against
Lavey.

At the Strabane Quarter Sessions on Friday last,
John Morris, a guard on the Londonderry and En-
niskillen Railway, was placed at the bar before the
Worshipful Richard Nunn, Q.C., and a common
jury, charged with an assault with intent to violate
Miss Jane Hasley, an intelligent-looking girl of
about 16 years of age; a second count charging him
with a common assault on her whilst travelling as a
passenger by the train.
It appeared that the prosecntrix was the daughter
of the Marquis of Abercorn's forester, a man of
superior intelligence and of great respectability in
his station. The prisoner also filled for many years
a situation of great responsibility, that of guard to
the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. The
prosecutrix, Miss Jane Hasley, having served an
apprenticeship in Strabane to a dressmaker, in Oct.,
1860, she was sent to improve herself at the esta-
blishment of Mrs. Rankin, in Londonderry. She
was allowed home to see her family at Baronscourt
every six or eight weeks. On some of these occa-
sions she was accompanied by her brother, but more
frequently she was alone. On oneof these occasions
in July last, the prisoner put her into a first-class
carriage, she having purchased a cheaper ticket, and
when the train was in motion he contrived to enter
the carriage of which she was the sole occupant,
on the side opposite the platform. He then put
his arms round her neck, kissed her several

times threw her down on the seat of the carriage,
and took indecent liberties with her. He promised
her marriage, although it appeared from the evi-
dence that he was already a married man Some
days transpired before she had an opportunity of
telling her father what had, occurred.
A Miss Mitchell was examined, and she also
stated that the prisoner had taken improper liber-
ties with her in one of the carraiges.
The Crown withdrew the indictment for the
assault with intent, and the jury found the pri-
soner guilty of the common assault.
He was sentenced to be imprisoned for 18
calendar months,

WEDNESDAY.
A long, but not a tedious day's sport. The racing com-
menced at half-past 11, and closed just as the dusk began
to thicken, at about half-past 4. The incidents which marked
the proceedings were not very important, and they are not
likely to be long remembered. The great match for £2,000,
between Wallace and Ben Webster, greatly to the dinap.
pointment of all persons present, did not take place. Both
horses were in the town, and reported well, but it is said
that Ben Webster has not quite recovered from the injuries
which he received when he got loose at Goodwood, and
therefore Lord St. Vincent, deeming discretion the better
part of valour, let Ben Webster " give up his part," and
paid the £5OO forfeit. The success of Old Calabar for the
Glasgow Stakes was, of course, a foregone conclusion, but
he beat so utterly bad an animal that his position in the
Derby betting was not much improved. Still his fine sweep-
ing action was greatly admired, and on returning to the
weighing-stand he was surrounded by a large crowd of
people "learned in horses," and who expressed only one
opinion—that they were glad that so fine a horse belonged
to such a ripe and true sportsman as Sir R. Bulkeley.
After the race the Leviathan bookmaker from the North
offered 1,000 to 100 agst Old Calabar for the Derby. By
the way, the dam of Old Calabar, who Sir R. Bulkeley
thought was too old for stud purposes, and whose age and
infirmities were growing on her, was shot early this year.
A partial settlement of the Cambridgeshire accounts took
place this morning, but very little time was afforded for ad-
justing balances. Indeed, between the breakfast hour and
the time appointed for the first race, there was scarcely
" shaving time" for a large majority of speculators.
On the Tuesday night the room was only thinly attended,
and no betting worth recording took place.
