rather decreasing, and the price on the spot rather lower than for
several years, while the demand is good, and it is generally believed
will continue so during the Autumn especially. The shipmenis are

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

The eleventh session of the present Mayoralty was .opened this
morning by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Messrs.
Hunter and Sydney; Aldermen and Sheriffs, and Messrs. Aldermen
Farncombe, Hughes Hughes, and Sir Chapman Marshall.
- The calendar, inconsequence of the "very short period which has
intervened since the last sitting, is necessarily light, the number of
cases being 117, and, with the exeeption of one manslaughter, none
of the charges being particularly heavy.
After the juries had been sworn in
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. He said that the
calendar which lay before him comprehended a smaller number of
persons than unsually occurred. He attributed the circumstance to
the fact, that the interval between the late and the present session
had been shorter than usual ; but he had reason also to believe that
the number of persons committed for offences within the
jurisdiction of the Old Bailey had been reduced during
that interval. The present calendar contained some cases of a rather
serious aspect, but none of them in general presented points difficult
in common law. If, however, any difficulty should arise the Court
would willingly extend its assistance in removing them. He consi.
dered it right to refer to two descriptions of charges contained in the
present calendar, the one of manslaughter, and the other the forging
of e deed. The Learned Recorder then explaiued at length the law
as it affected manslaughter, and the different degrees of that crime.
In the case before them a carman was charged with having by his
culpable negligence caused the death of an infant of tender years. It
appeared that he had been standing in his waggon, and that the reins
though within his reach were not in his hand. The horse was going
at a very sober, steady pace, and it further appeared that the child,
aged one and a half years, had run out from the pavement upon the
wheel, been knocked down, and unfortunately killed. It did not Impear
however, from the depositions, that' the carman was culpably negli-
gent as to come within the provisions of the statute ; for, even sup-
posing him to have been at his horse's head, the great probability was,
that he might not have seen the child ; and again, if he had been at
the side of the cart, his proper position would have been at that side
which was opposite to the infant ; and in this way, also, he might not
probably have prevented the occurrence. It would be their duty,
however, if they thought him culpable, to put the case into progress
of further investigation. The other charge—that of having forged a
deed—had features of a somewhat • novel character, to which he
would briefly advert. The person charged • had, it appeared,
applied, in the name of another, for shares in a railway com-
pany, and the shares having beeen so allotted, he afterwards
signed the deed in the name of that other party. This was a serious
charge, and it would be for the jury to inquire if the application was
so made, and-the deed signed with a fraudulent intention. He would
now dismiss them to their duty.
The grand jury then retired, -and shortly after the Lord Mayer
and several of the Aldermen left the Court.

. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Charles Richard Daley was placed at' the bar before Mr. Hall,
charged with stealing a shirt, the property of his son, William Daley.
_ The prosecutor entered the witness-box, and in a very bitter strain
began to relate circumstances having reference to private matters,
and not connected with the matter in question.
Mr. -HALL interrupted the witness, and desired him to confine him-
self to the present case. It now appeared that he (the prosecutor)
knew, -in fact, nothing of the case, having been in the country at the
time the circumstances on which-the charge was founded occurred.
Two women, living at - No. 4, Tottenham-court-road, (in which
street the prosecutor and his mother have lodgings) gave evidence to
the effect that the prisoner was seen leaving the house in which his
son lived, with a bundle under his arm ; and Ellen Daley (the pro-
secutor's sister) proVed that the shirt had been lost. This was the
whole case against the prisoner.
The prisoner's solicitor complained bitterly of the conduct of the
prosecutor, in charging his father with felony on so slight a case.
Mr. 11.u.i rebuked the prosecutor for taking the course he had
adopted. There was clearly no object for the prosecution but a vin-
dictive.feeling, resulting from the private quarrels which the prose-
cutor has shown himself so anxious to explain.' If the prisoner, being
separated from his wife, gave any annoyance to her or to his son, he
should be given in charge for that offence, and not on a charge of
felony, which could not be substantiated.
The prisoner was discharged.-
The prisoner's attorney, before leaving the Court, intimated his in-
tention of advising his client' to bring an action for false imprison-
ment against his son.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Leary, a lad about 16 years of age, was charged with commit-
ting the following impudent robbery in the shop of Mrs. Laura Ches-
ter, of No. 115, Jertnyn-street, St, James's, dealer in cigars.
It appeared that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday even-
ing last, the prisoner, in company with two other lads, were lurking
about the shop of the prosecutrix ; their.manner attracted the notice
of a neighbour's son, about ten years of age, who watched their mo-
tions, and at length saw the prisoner, when no person was in the
shop, deliberately walk in up to the counter, and, taking up a box of
cigars, put it under his coat, came out to his companioni, and
walk hastily away with them. The boy, however, followed, keeping
his eye upon the pair, until he reached Charing-cross, when meeting
with pollee.constable No. _129, of the A division, he gave the prisoner
into his charge., The prisoner threw down the box of cigars oh the
footway pavement, and attempted to escape ; his companion suc-
ceeded in getting clear off. The stolen property is valued at 235.
The prisoner is unknown to the police.—He was committed for trial.
William Boilden, a yoang man of. respectable appearance,! was
charged with being drunk and disorderly, in Marshall-street, Golden-
square, and making use of abusive language.
Police-constable No. 27 of the C division, stated that between eleven
and twelve o'clock on Saturday night he saw the prisoner quarrelling
with a female in Marshall-street, _and causing. a great disturbance.
On requesting him to go on peaceably, he. made use of improper
language. - . •
The defendant denied the statement of the constable, alleging that
the pollee had- interferred with him.. without the sligetest occasion.
As td his being intoxicated that was also untrue.
Mr. MALTBY (to the constable)--Was. he Intoxicated or not? Con-
stable--No, he certainly was not..
Mr. MALTBT--Mhy he is so charged on the police sheet? Constable
-No, he was not drunk, Sir.
Inspector Baker of the C division, who took the charge, said the
defendant was certainly drunk, or he should not have locked him up.
The constable persisted that the defendant was not drunk.
Inspector Baker—Why I read the charge over to you after you
made it, and you signed it.
Mr. MALTBY seemed somewhat puzzled at this conflicting testimony,
but eventually disposed of the case by ordering the defendant to
piy a line of- 10s. for using obscene language. .

FOOT RACE.—This morning a strong muster of
the pedestrian fancy met on Waterloo-bridge to witness tho two hun-
dred yards' race between Westhall .and Chadwick (an amateur).
The stakes were tit, a-side. In betting Westhall was in favour at
sto 4. At the start Westhall obtained a slight advantage. ant took
the lead at a rattling pace; his opponent exerted hitnself, and at
100 yards succeeded in coming up; they then ran together 50 yards,
when Westhall passed his adversary, who then made his last struggle
for the winning mark, but his efforts to win proved Male, and West-
hall came off the wiener, beating his opponent by two yards. It was
a well-contested and quick run race, and the two hundred yards of
ground were covered by the winner in twenty-eight seconds.
MAYOR or CORK.—We learn from a Second
Edition of the Cork Sotithern Reporter, of Thursday, that on the
afternoon of that day Mr. Alderman Roche was nominated Mayor
of that city for the year ensuing. -
.111 r. Denton, a paper stainer in Leadenhall-street,
was, on Saturday, fined 51 for pirating a registered design of Mr.
Boswells, paper stainer, Dublin.
The soldier who 'gave himself up at Dublin
as the murderer of Eliza Grimwood, was on Saturday discharged, it
having been clearly ascertained that he knew nothing whatever of
the inttrder, . • •

The. persons accused of robbing Mrs. Tritton's•
establishment at Battersea-have been again remanded. It is said
that-Mrs: Tritton's butler, whose 'wife is in custody, has decamped.
THE-ONE THOUSAND TWO' HUNDRED 4.ICD NINETY.
Peutins Rommay.—the woman, .""Coalrahe Nan," charged With
robbing Mr. Tlibmas Johnsen, butcher, of Bradford, was apprehended
on Friday at the railway station at Leeds.. She had taken her fare
for Liverpool, and had entered the railway carriage, when Mr. Brigg
took her into custody.. She
_had money to the amount only of 61.
upon herrshe had none of the bills or:promissory notes, or anything to
corroborate the charge against her; but she acknowledged the offence,
making it a matter of light jesting.and good humour. She appeared
to have added greatly to her stock ofwearing apparel, so that a great
portion of the money_ must have been spout in this manner. :The
prisoner was brought up on Monday, but remanded till Friday (yes-
terday), hi order to give the police an opportunity to apprehend a
fellow, siip"posed to be, with another named Clarke, now in custody,
an accomplice in or accessory to the robbery .---Bedford Observer.:
ST. JOHN'S GATE, HOETON.—On Friday evening
