MARKET NEWS.-41'his Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, a very moderate supply of English wheat
has been received up to our market this week. By land
carriage, the receipts of that graiu fresh up to-day were
small, nevertheless, the show of samples was t.dei ably
good. All kinds met a dull sale, and Monday's prices
were barely supported.
The imports of foreign wheat are only 2,750 quarters.
Fine qualities were held at very full prices, but all other
kinds were neglected.
Then wass less activity in the barley trade. Prices,
however, were well supported.
We had a slow inquiry for malt, at Monday's quota-

tions.
Oats, though in good supply, were firm at full currencies.
Beans and peas moved off steadily, but flour commanded
very little attention.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply citTe;.E;ts in to-day's market was tolerably
gocd as to number, but deficient in quality. Most breeds
were steady, at Monday's currency. We were but mode-
rately supplied with sheep, which sold freely, at very full
prices. Lambs wera in fair request, at from 5s to Gs per
8144. Prime calves moved off steadily, at full currencies ;
otherwise the veal trade was heavy. Pigs and milch cows
were quite as dear as on Monday.
Our market is extensively supplied with all new hops,
which moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The
duty is called 20),0001. In yearling and old hops scarcely
any business is doing.

GENITAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Sept. ,17.

Anne Donovan, 18, was indicted for feloniously
stabbing and wounding George Gymir, with intent
to murder him.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prose-
cution.

The prosecutor in this case is a police-constable,
and it appeared that while on duty in the neigh-
bourhood of Drury-lane lie had occasion to take
an idiot boy to the workhouse, and while so en-
gaged the prisoner and a number of other disorderly
characters interfered with him, and his hat was
knocked off, and as he was picking it up he accident-
ally struck the prisoner a slight blow on the face, and
she appeared very angry, and uttered threats against
him. Having taken the boy to the workhouse, he
returned to his duty, and the prisoner met him,
and, as it appeared, without any provocation,
m tide a most savage attack upon bim with a knife
and stabbed him in the face and other parts of his
body, at the same time making use of the most
fearful threats, one stab in the eye being accom-
panied by the exclamation that, if she could not
hays the constable's life, she would have his
eye out.

The prisoner, when called upon for her defence,
said she was drunk and did not know anything of
what had happened.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding
with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Bodkin inforfned the Court that the prisoner
had been convicted of serious assaults upon the female
turnkeys of different prisons in which she had been
confined, and she had also been repeatedly convicted
of riotous conduct and assaulting the•police.

Mr. Justice Crompton, after observing upon the
aggravated character of the offence, said the police
must be protected in the discharge of their duty, and
sentenced her to penal servitude for ten years.

The prisoner, on leaving the dock, exclaime 3, with
great violence, "I'll never do it—l'll never do it !"
William Edwin James Hillyar, a reap ectable look-
ing lad who surrendered to take his trial, was indicted
for felony in having unlawfully uttered as true and
genuine a forged certificate of baptism, with intent
to defraud.

Mr. Petersdorff and Mr. Sleigh conducted the
prosecution on behalf of the Admiralty ; Sergeant
Ballantine was specially retained for the defence,
with Mr. Lilley.
Mr. Petersdorff, in opening the case, said he re-
gretted that the duty devolved upon him of prefer-
ring a charge of so serious a description against a
young man so respectable as the prisoner and his
family undoubtedly were, but the authorities of the
Admiralty, feeling that a very mischievous offence
had been committed, had no alternative but to in-
stitute the present prosecution as a warning to all
whom it might concern, that they incurred very
great danger by committing an act of a description
that was now the subject of inquiry. He then pro-
ceeded to explain that by an order in council, which
indeed was likely to be of a very beneficial charac-
ter, all persons applying for appointments in the
civil service of the Government were required
to undergo a certain examination as to their
fitness, and there were other regulations to be
complied with, one of which was with reference to
the age of the applicants ; and with regard to ap-
pointments in the Admiralty the youngest age at
which any clerk could be appointed was 17. An
application had, it appeared been made to the Ad-
miralty for an appointment for the prisoner, and
he was directed to attend tt the Admiralty for the
purpose of undergoing the usual examination, and
he did so on the 27th of July. Upon this occasion
he signed a paper by which he stated his age to be
17, and he at the same time produced a certificate
of baptism and the certificate of the registrar of
birth, &c., by which it appeared that he was born
on the 22d of May, 1810. The gentleman to
whom he gave the documents discovered imme-
diately that they had been tampered with, and
that the date originally entered was 1842, and that
the 2 had, been erased and a 0 substituted. The
defendant attended ouasubsequent day and under-
went his examination ; but upon all the facts coming
. _

to the knowledge of the Board of Admiralty, they
felt it to be their duty to direct that the present in-
dictment should be prefeffed.
Mr. West, a clerk in the Admiralty, proved that
the defendant was recommended for an appoint-
ment, and that the usual letter was sent, requir-
ing him to attend and be examined. He sail he
believed that the application for a situation was
originally made by the prisoner's father. By one
of the regulations of the Commissiohers, no person
was eligible for an appointment in the Admiralty
who was under 17 or over 25 years old.
By Sergeant Ballantine—The connexions of the
defendant were highly respectable. His father wail
an officer of rank on board the Agamemnon.
Mr. Humphris, the senior clerk in the Civil Service
Commissioners Office, stated that the defendant came
to him, by appointment, and be asked him to fill in
written answers to certain questions, and he did so,

and one of the answers he gave was, thAt his age
was seventeen at his last birth day. The defend-
ant then handed him two papers, one purporting
to be a certificate of baptism and the other a regis-
ter of births, and he looked at them and saw at
once that the dates had been altered from 1842 to
1840. He asked the prisoner if he was aware that
the certificates had been altered, and he said lie
was, and he accounted for it by stating that Mr.
Hatchard, the clergyman, had made a mistake in

the dato, and that the documents had been sent
back to him, and that he had made the alteration.
Witness told him that he could not give credit to
his statement, but he persisted in stating that it
was true, and he afterwards said that he supposed
his father knew something about it.
By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—The appointment

the defendant would have received was a temporary

clerkship. He could not say what salary he would
have received, but he would have been liable to be
discharged at any moment.
The Rev. Mr. Hatchard, the Vicar of St. An-
drew's, Plymouth, where the prisoner's family ro-
sided, proved that the date of the certificate of bap-
tism hid been altered from 1842 to 1840.
By Sergeant Ballantine—He hadknown the pri-
soner from his chi Hoed, and always considered
him a very good boy, and his family were highly
respectable.
John Dennis, a person connected with the West-
minster Police Court, proved that the prisoner told
him that he was only fifteen years old.
Sergeant Bellantine made a most eloquent and
feeling appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner.
He called their attention to the peculiar nature of
the charge, and said he hoped he should be able to
induce them to come to the conclusion that they
were not bound, upon the evidence laid before then',
to came to a conclusion that the lad at the b tr, who
up to this moment had never had the slightest stain
cast upon his character, had committed the offence
that was sought to be established against him, and
of which, if he should be convicted, the result must
inevit ably be to blast the hopes of the remainder of
his days. He theu proceeded to argue that there was
no evidence to show that the prisonerknew the state-
ments in the documents were false, and said that it
was much more probable some older person than
the prisoner should have been guilty of the fraud,
it any fraud hid been in point of fact committed,
than that ho should have been the guilty patty.
The Rev. Mr. Chambers, the matter of the Royal
Naval School, was called as a witm as for the defence,
and he stat-d th it the prisoner had been under Ins
charge for five years, and that no complaint hid
ever been made against him.
Mr. Baron Watson, in :summing up, said that, of
course, it was a very painful thing to convict a led
like the prisoner of so very serious an offence as the
one charged in the present indictment; but, unhap-
pily, in courts of justice they were too frequently
called upon to deal with painful cases; but he and
they were bound. to do their duty according to the
evidence before them; and if an offence was made
out, they would be doing an injustice to the com-
mun'ty, and would not be properly performing
the duty they had undertaken, if they did
not return a verdict to that effect. The
learned judge then observed upon the great
impoitance of sustaining the integrity of instru-
ments such as certificates of births, 4:c., and said
that the question in the present case was whothi r
it was established that the prisoner had uttere I an
instrument as a certificate of baptism, the contents
of which he muet have known to be false. If this
fact ware made out to their satisfaction, they were
bound to return a verdict of guilty, but if they
entertained any reasonable doubt upon the subject
they would of course give the prisoner the benefit of
that doubt and acquit him. •
The jury, af.er deliberating for a consideralale
time in the box, expressed a wish to retire. They
left the court at six o'clock, and returned at seven,
wliee they gave a verdict of Not Guilty.
There was'a burst of aeeplause when the verdict
was delivered.

NEW CQURT.
(.Before the Recorder.)
William Weaver, 20, tailor, wa3 indicted for
robbery, with violence, upon Benjamin Blakesly,
and stealing from-Linn his watch and guard.
Mr. T. Salter prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh de-
fended.

It appeared that the prosecutor, a lad 16 years
of age, was about 9 o'clock in the evening standing
at the corner of Milford-lane, Strand, when the
prisoner came up and asked him to come down the
lure and be would show him something. Upon
their getting some distance down some ron, appa-
rently drunk, ran against the prosecutor, upon
which prisoner and two others knocked him down,
and stole his watch, Prosecutor, however, managed

t,) get up and follow the prisoner until he was take
jut-) custAy. -

The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to
five years' penal servitude.
Thomas Johnson, 38, tailor, was indicted for re-
ceiving a quantity of silk, valued at 3001., the pro-
perty of George Cresswell; knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Ribton, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Orridge ap-
peared.
The presecutor in the case is a silk mercer and
draper in Great Russell street, and upon July 30
his place was broken into, and between three and.four
hundred pounds worth of property stolen. Upon
the 22cliDf August Inspector Mackenzie and Sergeant
Smith went to the lodgings of the prisoner, in De-
vonshire-street, King-square, where they found
-one piece of silk of a peculiar pattern and length,
which had been stolen from. the prosecutor, and
with this there were also some bills of the prosecu-
tor's, which the prisoner took from the police, and
destroyed by crushing them to pieces in a basin of
water. In the same room was found a quantity of
burglar's implements, and also a memorandum re-
lating to some silks and other property, evidently
that stolen from the prosecutor.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was
sentenced to six years' pens]. servitude.

TUC grand jury having found true bills against
Captain H. Thorne and T. D. Evans, who are out
upon bail, for a libel upon the Hou. F. W. Cado-
gan, deputy-chairman and one of the managing di-
rectors of the SubmarineM gnetic Telegraph Com-
pany, an application was made to postpone the
trial until next session.

Mr. Serjeant Parry, with whom was Mr. Robin-
son, for the defendants, slid the grounds upon
which he now applied to postpone the case until
next session where the ab,ence of many very mate-
rial witnesses wham they had been unable to sub-
poena, they being upon the continent, and also to
give the defence time to consider whether they
should raise a special plea.
Mr. Ballantine, with whom was Mr. Bodkin, said
that although the prosecution were most anxious to
have the case tried, he should not after the state-
ment of his learned friend, oppose the application,
but expect, if a special plea was t 3 be pleaded, that
due notice would be given to the prosecution.
Mr. Serjeant Parry said that the prosecution
should have at least four days' notice of the course
intended to be taken by the defendants.

After some conversation th© trial was fixed for

the second day of next session, and the defendants
not having been called upon to surrender, the bAil

taken before the magistrate who committed the
case remains undisturbed.

Jean Baptiste Vavassuer, agent, was indicted for
obtaining by false pretences from John Milligan
and another 216-yards of Alpaca, value 241.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton de-
fended.
The prosecutors are warehousemen, and the pri-
soner had gone there during the absence of the
senior manager, and stating himself to be an agent
in Harp-lane, in conjunction with another Man
obtained the goods in question, which he said he
said he wanted to send as a sample to Germanh
but pawned upon the same for half their value.
He was convicted and sentenced to 12 months'
imprisonment.
Charlotte Knox surrendered to take her trial for
obtaining money from the East India a.nnpanY
by means of false pretences.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantins and Mr. Maule prose-
cuted, and Mr. Giffird defended.

Mr. Ballantine opened the following eiss to the
jury. The defendant was the widow of Captain
Walter Knox, formerly of the East India Co nip All 6
service, and in 1842 became a pensioner upon Lord
Clive's Fund for widows, which would erase upon
her re-marriage. This, she had done in 1855, but
had gone ou receiving the pension down to the
present year. The defence about to be set up was
a singular one, if true. The second marriaffe vieg
not denied, but it was said that the second Cusbaea
being then a married man, it was no marriage
at all.

Evidence waS then given to show that down to
January, 1857, she received her pension as Mr°•
Knox, but that in October, 1815, she wad married
at Antwerp to one Richard Osborne Cross, andbad
lived with him at Berkhawpstead as his wife.
The Recorder said the difficulty was in identify'
ing the defendant with the register of marriage
from Antwerp.
Mr. Ballantine—Mr. Cross is in court.
Mr. Cross then got into the witness-box.
Recorder—You cannot examine him. •
Mr. Ballantine—No, but my learned friend can
examine him.
Mr. Giffard (to Mr. Cross)—Were you married
previously to your marriage with this lady ?
Witne,s—l was, but did not know that my first
wife was alive. I had not seen her from 1813 un-
til lately. I saw her last Sunday fortnight in
Brighton.
Mr. Ballantine—You are sure of that ?
Witness—She is now iu court.
The learned sergeant said that after had trans-
pired he should withdraw from the prosecution.
He, notwithstanding these circumstances had been
told to the company, thought they had acted pro-
perly in bringing the matter here.
The Recorder said it was a very proper case to
be brought here.
The defendant was then discharged.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)

Thomas Holland, a respectable-looking. man,
said to 'be a teacher in a Catholic school, was in-
dieted for feloniously assaulting Hannah Peak
Mr. Austin prosecuted, Mr. Ribton defended.
The prosecutrix, a somewhat
.singular-looking
young woman, 24 years of age, and whose intellect
seemed to be impaired, said that she lived with her
friends at North Hyde, near Isleworth, and that
upon the evening of the 22d of August the Pri-
soner, whom she had once or twice spoken to came
and having shaken hands with her at the gate,
forced her along the passage into the ba,:k kitchen'
and then assaulted her iu a very gross me.une!.l
She struggled violently, and her screams broll
her little sister into the kitchen. The prisoner got
up and ran away.
The Commissioner at great length interrogate
a
the witness to ascertain whither she had in all
way been a consenting party to any freedom that
might have led a lad like the prisoner to imagine
that further liberties would not have been resisted,
but she denied that she had.
Mr. Ribt)n briefly cross-examined the witness to
the same effect, but she strongly denied havillAcl
given prisoner any cause for his conduct tows'
her.
Two children, the sister and cousin of the pr°,se;
cutrix,- proved coming into the kitchen and, solve'
the assault committed ; and prisoner offered 01801
a sovereign not to say anything about if.
Mr. Ribton having briefly addressed th rimerll, -
The Commissioner summed up, cotlog
upon the evidence.
Whilst the jury were deliberating the Commis;
sioner interposed several times, and pointed ell
diffennt points in the case, commenting further
upon them.
Mg. Ribton, with much warmth, protested
against such a course being pursued when a "8,1
was closed. The case during the early part 133
be- u nelrlv taken out of his hands by the bench'
and from the tone in which he, the Commissioner'
had made remarks upon what he had elicited from
the pi osecutrix. He, the counsel, thought the Coal:
missioner -entertained an opinion that there via!
scarcely any case, and therefore said little to the
jury, and now ho found the jury in their delibera,"
tions interfered with by remarks from the bent'
adverse to the prisoner.

The Comrnipioner denied that he had taken tilqi
else out of the ct:unCil's hands, or that he had in'
terfered with the matter in any way to call for the
remarks which had been made upon his conduct.
Mr. Ribton repeated his objections to the colr50,
which had been pursued by the Commissioner
thnughout the whole trial. •
After some further remarks from the benlf
which provoked immediate replies from the con
moo;
the scene, happily for the dignity of ju,Cce, Wet
brought to a close, the jury found. the prison
guilty, and ho was sentenced to one mouth's il3r
prisonment.
