manded higher prices, the amount of business doing in it
is limited, and the quotations are almost nominal. Foreign
and colonial qualities are dull, but not cheaper. The im-
ports, last week, were 13 bags from Jamaica, 203 bales
from New Zealand, 96 from Buenos Ayres, 15 from St.
Petersburg, 54 from Hambro', and 30 from Limerick.— -

per, a lad 17 years of age, was brought before Mr.

gold sleeve studs, two coat-4, and other articles, the pre-
pfrty of Mr. Edward solicitor, Great Mac-
ho To u gh-s t reet.

Mr. Lewis stated that the prisoner was until recently
one of his clerks. On the evening of the 12th instant
he received a cheque for 201. and two 51. notes from a

client,-and, as it was then too late to pay it into his
banker's, he directed the prisoner to do so on the
following morning. On arriving at his office the
ncat morning he missed the notes, and questioned
the prisoner as to what had become of them. The
prisoner denied all knowledge of them, and said ha bad
never touched them or seen them after he had left the

preview, night. From the prisoner's manner, he did not
at the mo,nent suspect him, but eventually circumstances
came to his knowledge, that induced him to dismiss him
from his situation. A:day or so after prisoner had left,
prosecutor missed two coats, two pairs of trowsers, a
pair of gold studs, and other aricles. He at once com-
municated with the police, and the result was the pri-
soner was taken into custody last nigh*, with the gold
studs in his possession. He was not prepared with any
further evidence at presen+, and wished to have the pri-
soner remanded,

The prisoner was remanded for a week.

DESPEAATE ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John
Morgan, a repulsive and powerful looking man was
brought before Mr. Cornbe charged with having com-
mitted the following daring and desperate attempted
high way robbery. Elizabeth Chad wick, the wife of a
gas-fitter, residing in York-buildings, Bermondsey-new-
road, stated on Tuesday last, between 12 and 1 o'clock
at noon, she was proceeding along the Great Dover-
road towards home witnier daughter, 12 years of age.
She had at'that time a small basket in one hand and a
portmonnaie, containing gold and silver in the other.
When nearly opposite the Virginia Plant public-house
the prisoner passed between them, and went
towards a brush-makers' shop. Suddenly he
turned round and seized hold of her by both
hands and made use of a dreadful oath at the same
time, telling her he would do for her if she called out.
She, however, struggled very hard with him, and re-
leased one of her hands, when he caught hold of her gold
watch and pulled it out of her pocket. Her cries
brought a female towards the spot when he let go the
watch and ran away. Witness and her daughter were
so frightened that neither of them could follow him, so
that he made his escape. Afterwards she went to the
police.station and gave information of the outrage, with
a description of_ the prisoner, whom she pointed out
among many others at the station-house on Saturday
night. The prisoner here declared that the prosecutor
was mistaken as to his identity. He was not the party.
The daughter of the prosecutrix said she saw the pri-
soner seize held of her mother's bands and snatch her
watch. She called out "Murder !" and "Police and
on a female coming up he ran away and made his escape.

She was positive that he was the man.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was a
baker, and got his livelihood hone,tly. It was not likely
that be should commit such an offence.
Downes, the gaoler, here informed his Worship that
the prisoner was a notorious thief, and had been several
times convicted for street robberies.
Churchill, 148 M, said he took the prisoner into cus-
tody, and when he was placed along with several others
in the station-house, Mrs. Chadwick attended and pointed
him out.
Mr. Combe committed him to the sessions for trial.

MURDER AT CITINGFORD HATCH, ESSEX —A mes 6
barbarous murder was committed yesterday morning in
the dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. Small, Chingford Hatch,
Essex. Mr. and Small went to church, as was
their usual castom, having the d welling in the care of a
female named Mary White, sister of Mrs. Small. On
the return of Mr. and Mrs. Small from church, they dis-
covered the body of their relative, with her throat cut,
lying upon the floor near the door, and missed a watch,
and 6/. in money. The police were immediately called
in, and from an examination of the body there was no•
doubt the unfortunate la-ly bad been most barbarously
murdered by some villain who has for the present'
eluded the search making for him by the police.
The knife with which the horrid deed is OP'
posed to have been committed, was found in a wash"
hand baein. A young man, of whom the police are in
pursuit, and who was seen to leave Chingford, is sup'
posed to have committed the murder. This afternoon
man named Charles Davies, who was found sleeping
on some benches in front of a public-house in the Mil°
End-road, and who answered in many respects the de-
scription of the alleged murderer, was brought up is
custody Of sergeant Smith, 28 K. The officer said the
suspicions bad been removed, and he ascertained that
the prisoner was a person of goad character. He was
suspected, when taken into custody, to be the man WhO
committed the inhuman murder of Miss White, but the
man had given an account of himself, and where be was
yesterday morning, which turned out to he quite true.
Mr. Selfe was glad to hear the prisoner was a man of
good hracter, and advised him not to be sleeping OP
formsc ina the open air again, or he would render himself
liable to be punished under the vagrant act. He die
charged the prisoner.
