IVETV COURT.

(Before Mr. COMMISSIONER BULLOCK and Mr. ALDERMAN
COPELAND ).
William Stannard, aged 19, was indicted for unlawfully
and carnally knowing Elizabeth Appleton, a child under
twelve years of age. A second count charged him with a
common assault. The prisoner had pleaded that he was not
guilty. _ .

The facts of the case disclosed an amount of profligacy
rare:y heard in a court of justice. The brother of the
child, the child herself, and the prisoner, all slept, and used
in common one room in a street in Seven Dials. The child
slept in the same bed with the prisoner and her
brother, by his (the brother's) direction. She swore
that the prisoner had twice committed the offence
charged against him, but admitted, on being questioned
by the prisoner, :that a man some time before: bad
taken her into a cart, and committed a like offence. The
disclosure of these facts excited much disgust and astonish-
ment amongst all present.
After much deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of—
Not Guilty.

Thomas Dunlop, a respectably-dressed young man, was
indicted for obtaining a quarter of a dozen of shirts, value 95.,
by means of false representation, from Messrs. Porson and
Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard.
There not being sufficient evidence to substantiate the
charge, and an excellent character being given to the pri-
soner, the jury Acquitted him.

BOW-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.)
Henry Thompson, was charged by Alexander Crow, a
licensed waterman, at the cab-stand opposite the Lyceum
Theatre, Strand, with officiating without a license on Satur-
day evening, at the box entrance of the above theatre, to the
Injury of himself and the other regular watermen on the
stand. The defendant was seen to open several cab doors
during the evenin I, and to receive money, and though warned
of the illegality of his conduct he still persisted. At last he
was given into custody by the complainant, in order if possi-
ble to put an end to the practice, as more than a dozen
others were in the habit nightly of doing the same thing.
Mr. HALL said that the defendant had rendered himself
liable to a penalty of 5/., or two months' imprisonment with
hard labour. He would, however, as this was the first of-
fence, mitigate the fine, with the intimation that if the
offence was repeated the full penalty would be enforced, as it
was necessary to protect the regular licensed watermen, else
no respectable party would be got to officiate in that capa-
city. The defendant was fined 205., or fifteen days' im-
prisonment.
Patrick Crawley, a ferocious looking Irishman was placed
in the dock charged with committing a gross assault upon a
young man named Vincent, and his mother, an aged woman,
of nearly 70 years, as they were walking up Portugal-street,
during yesterday afternoon (Sunday). The defendant, it

appears, was beastly drunk, and seized both complainants
with his two arms, something in the style in which the
great American bear is represented to hug his prey. The
young man of course resisted his embraces, when the de-
fendant resorted to blows, struck him over the face with his
fist, then threw the old woman on the ground, and kicked
her. She was very much bruised.

to break the pledge. In (;ousyquence he became so drunk
that he did not know what he was doing„ anti had no recol-
lection of committing the assault for W11K9,4,14 stood charged.
—He was fined 405., or twenty-one days' invprlsonment.

CLERKENWELI4.—(TIIis:- DAY.)
One of those impostors that throng the streets. seekilg
alms by every mode of supplication, was brought before the
Magistrate, charged with begging—his name is Farad!.
Police-constable 172 N, deposed that the fellow being
drunk on Saturday evening, went about High-street, stop-
ping everybody he met, and seeking alms. One gentleman
he asked for a penny, and when refused asked him if he
would " stand a pint of beer ?" The gentleman refused, and
the prisoner then went into several shops, not craving, but
demanding money. One shopkeeper, Mr. Prentice, refused
to give him army money, and the prisoner immediately asked
hint if he would have some money from hint. The constable
swore that several people told hint that many tradesmen had
been much alarmed by him.

.....
The prisoner told a rambling story about misfortunes on a
voyage from Liverpool, which had about the same semblance
to truth as that of Sinbad, the sailor. He said his wife was
in the neighbourhood, and
Mr. GaEnswoon remanded him, that the veracity of his
statement might be inquired into.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS

CORN-EXCIIAN GE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been con-
siderably less than this day se'nnight. Of most other kinds
of Grain the receipts were by no means larger. Fresh :up
only a limited quantity of Wheat of home produce was re-
ceived from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, yet the stands
were on the whole partly supplied wish samples. Fine
qualities of both red and white commanded a steady sale, at
prices- fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight,
while in most other kinds a fair amount of business was
doing, at late rates. The show of free Foreign Wheat
was small, but generally speaking holders were firm.
A few sales took place in Barley under locks, but all other
bonded Grain was a mere drug. The show of Barley was, on
the whole, extensive, yet there was an improved inquiry for
that article, the quotations of which were supported in every
instance. Notwithstanding the returns show a large arrival
of Malt, the supply here to-day was by no means extensive.
The best season• made parcels were in fair request at full
prices, but in other kinds comparatively little was doing.
The supply of Oats was only moderate ; most kinds sold
steadily at fully last week's currencies. Beans, Peas, and
Flour rather inactive, but not cheaper. The same may be
said of most kinds of seeds.

"" Since this' day se'nnight another large importation o.
foreign stock has taken place, it having consisted of 165
Beasts and 205 Sheep, into London, together with 50 Oxen
and Cows and 90 Sheep at Hull, all from Holland, forming a
total import of not less than 510 head. Our readers will per-
ceive that this is the largest arrival that has been reported
during any week since the new Tariff has been in operation, and
completely justifies the observations which we offered under
this head on Monday last. As respects the quality of the
Beasts, there was nothing calling for particular observa-
tion, though there were some really valuable ani-
mals amongst them ; but in the Sheep there was
a decided.iwrprovement. The show of foreign stock here this
morning amounted to 70 Beasts, and 130 Sheep. The former
sold at from 12/. to 18/. ; the latter, 30s to 42s per head.
With Beasts from our own districts we were tolerably well
supplied. The Beef trade, arising in a great measure from
the dead markets being heavily supplied with country meat,
was in a very sluggish state, and last week's quotations were
with difficultysupported. However the finest. Scots found buyers
at from 3s 10a to 4s per 8 lbs., yet a clearance was not effected.
The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire were composed of 1,400 . Scots and homebreds ;
while, from the northern grazing districts we received 250
short- horns ; from the western and midland districts, 600
Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England,
500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200 homebred and
polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase.
Prime old Downs with difficulty maintained their last week's
prices; and all other breeds were 20 per 81bs lower, with a
heavy demand. Calves were in limited supply, and steady
inquiry, at late rates. Pigs were in request, and prices were
again supported. There were on sale about 1,500 shorn
Sheep, and 120 Lambs.
