Irving and Martin, were placed at the bar on remand,
charged with stealing a purse containing a cheque for

the house, and in a short time returned with a quantity
of bread and cheese, which he devoured voraciously.
He (prosecutor) then gave him some beer, and after hav-
ing done so, he quitted the house and proceeded to a
barber's shop to get shaved, to which place the prisoner
Martin followed him. After baying been shaved, he
took out his purse to pay, When Martin seized hold of it
and made off. Prosecutor followed him and over-
took him at the top of Charles-street, where
the prisoner Irving came up, and both prisoners then
made their way into a house in the same street. On the
arrival of the police the house was entered, and Martin
and Irving were found together in a back room. The
purse had not been found. Both prisoners were known
as constant associates.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners denied the:rob-
bery. Martin said Mackenzie had been 'treating him
the whole of the morning with beer and gin, and that

MARKET NEWS,— (TI.Us Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, a moderato supply of English wheat has
come to h4nd this week in fair condition ; but fresh up
to-day, by land carriage, the receipts were limited. The
show of samples was far from extensive, and the demand
for most kinds ruled inactive, ate Monday's currency.
Upwards of 41,000 quarters of foreign wheat having
come in that grain moved off heavily. In the quotations,
however, no change took place.
Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price.
Although the imports of foreign barley have been ex-
tensive the show of samples was limited, and the trade
ruled steady at late rates.
Malt sold slowly on former terms,
We had a very extensive show of oats. The oat trade
was consequently heavy, and prices were the turn lower.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltt,red in value.

full prices. The pork trade was heavy, at barely late rates.
