BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROEBERY.—Pbcebe I
Binds, a dirty little woman, aged 25, who looked 50,
was brought bef,reMr, Yardley charged with feloniously
receiving 146 lbs. of old copper sheathing which had
been stolen from the premises of Charles Clifford and
Co,, yellow metal workers, coppersmiths, &c., in Church-
row, Limehouse.
Inspector Ralph Field Thomas, of the Thames police,
stated that, in consequence of information, he went to
a house in Trigg's-place, Nightingale-lane, Limehouse,
on the preceding day, and there saw the prisoner, who,
in answer to a question, said her husband was from
home. He went out of the house again, and saw two
convicted thieves on the look-out, who both run away
when they saw him. He returned and told the prisoner
his hnsiness and who he was, and searched her dwelling.
He first discovered in a cupboard a quantity of copper
sheathing, and Putten, a constable, No. 161, IC, who
accompanied him, found more in another cupboard. It
weighed in all 1 cwt. 1 qr. 61bs. He asked the prisoner
how she came by the copper. She hesitated for some
time and then said, "I must tell you the truth. Two
men with bags on their shoulders came here and left
the copper with roe." He also found in the house two
coal-sacks, some barley, and a piece of mat weighing
561b5., and he believed the whole was stolen property.
Mr. George Fairbairns, manager of the metal works
belonging to the prosecutors said, their premises extended
200 feet from:Church-row, opposite the western entrance
of Limehouse Church, to the towing path of the canal,
called the Lea cut, a branch of the river Lea. There
was a travelling crane right over the towing-path,
and it was t•upported by a couple of diagonal pieces.
The premises were burglariously entered from the tow-
ing path on Saturday night or Sunday last. He secured
the factory and workshops on Saturday night in the
usual manner. On Sunday evening it was discovered
that the premises had been broken into, and from 8 to
10 cwt. of copper sheathing stolen. He could positively
identify the sheathing produced as part of that stolen.
It came from Ireland a few days ago, and was packed in
a peculiar manner. The burglars climbed up the diago-
nal pieces of wood which supported the travelling crane,
got over a wall into a yard, and forced open the door of
a shed containing the copper. The value of it was about
351.

_lnspector Thomas said he knew the fellows who com-
mitted the burglary, and expected to have them in cus-
tody in a few hours.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Thursday

prices.
The imports of foreign wheat have been confined to
7,620 quart3re. The finest samples were held at full quo-
tations, but all other qualities met a dull inquiry.

Malt sold at previous rates, but the demand was rather
limited.
We had an improved feeling in the oat trade, and fine
oats were 6d. per quarter dearer.
