Mr. GREENWOOD—(exlibiting a bundle of written
testimonials)—Pray, Ma'am, how many cooks have you
had living with you at the same time? Mrs. Aust—One.
Mr. GREENWOOD—(holding up the papers)—Then
how has it come to pass that you gave seven 'different
characters to cooks at the same period? Mrs. Aust—l
do not recollect it.

Mr. GREENWOOD—Why read this one, and deny it to
be yours if you can.
Mrs. Aust declared her sight was very bad.—(A laugh.)
The prisoner declared she had the eye of a lynx, and
indeed the lady seemed to be in full possession of her
visual powers.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Abundant facts have come to my
knowledge regarding your habits in this respect, and I
warn you that the Act of Parliament awards a penalty
of 201. for each offence of giving a false character.
Depositions for trial were then taken down, and the
prisoner was locked up.

have been less inclined to press sales this week, and the
rates previously established are generally sustained. To-day
importers of West India Muscovado Sugar submitting to
rather lower rates, snaking the decline for the week 6d
on the better and Gd to Is per cwt on the lower sorts,
caused a fair demand to prevail for Grocery and Refining
purposes,.and 350 hhds were disposed of, including 90 hhds
of Trinidad at public sale, which went at 56s to 56s 6d per
cwt for middling yellow rather bright.
