This action was brought for the recovery of a quar-
ter's rent, due r inchr the following circumstances.
A gentleman of tl le name of Lichfield was in the pos-
session of certain, premises in Bethnal-green. These
premises were let, to the defendant, and subsequent to
the tenantcy mortgaged to:the plaintiffs. Subsequently
to this the mortgagee became bankrupt, and then the

to pay the rent to the plaintiffs. This he neglected to
do, and this action i was brought to recover the amount.
The defence to the action was, that the defendant
bad paid the rent to the assignees under the bank-
ruptcy of Mr. Lic hfield.

MARYLCEBONE.—(T HIS DAY.)
John Williams' a middle-aged and most respectably
dressed man, .who refused to give his address, was
placed at the bar, charged with having obtained goods
from various tradesmen under false pretences.
Thomas Hart,, hairdresser, 18, Great Marylebone -
street, said that the prisoner called in at his shop about
four o'clock yes terday afternoon, and said that he
was sent to look out some brushes and tortoiseshell
combs for Mrs. Green Wilkinson, of 39, Wimpole-
street, for inspection. He took two pair of brushes
and three combs, but he (witness) suspecting the
truth of his statement, sent his girl after to observe
where he went to ; she returned shortly after, and
from her information he went to Mr. Thomas, pawn-
broker, East-street, where prisoner was in the act of
pledging the property. He gave him immediately
into custody.
Albert King, shopman to Mr. Thomson, proved
that prisoner came to him offering the goods to pledge,
when interupted by_the entrance of complainant.
Wrm. Binstead, Mrs. Wilkinson's brother, attended
to disclaim on the part of the family any connection
with the prisoner. The family had only returned
late yesterday evening from a two years' residence on
the Continent, so that it was quite impossible the
prisoner could have had any orders from them.
James Binham, ironmonger, 19, Wigmore-street,
said the prisoner came to his place yesterday,
about two o'clock, and ordered a quantity of articles
he selected to be sent to the residence of James Gun-
thorpe, Esq., 20, Edward-street, Portman-square. He,
however, took with him a bronzed hand lamp, which
he alleged he had immediate use for. Witness after-
wards saw the lamp at a pawnbroker's, and identified it.
Wm. Jones, shopman to Mr. Smith. South-street,
proved the pledging of the harp fer ls. Ode
Several parties were in Court to charge the prisoner
with other cases of swindling ; but on inspector Black
requesting that he might be remanded, as the evi-
dence was not completed, the further hearing was or-
dered for Thursday next, when the other charges will
be gone into.

CLERICEN WELL.—(TH Is DAY.)
Thomas Ainsworth, a truly wretched-looking boy,
without a single garment to skreen him but an old
black coat saturated with wet, was charged with
begging.
Police-constable E5O deposed that he found e

prisoner wandering about King-street, Holborn, be-
tween twelve and one on the previous night. He said
he was very cold and very hungry.
Mr. CorbinE—And where did you take him to ?
Policeman—To the. Mendicity, to try if they knew
him there as an old mendicant, but they did not.
Mr.• COMBB—Where next ? Policeman—To the
station• house. _ .

Mr. Comm—And he was locked up there all night?
Policeman—Yes. _ _

... ~._._
Mr. COMBE—For what ? Policeman—For being
destitute.

Mr. COMBS—According to your own statement
the boy was doing no harm ; he should not, therefore,
be punished. Take him instantly to the parish autho-
rities, and let him have immediate relief; and never
again lock up a person such as the prisoner, but take
him to the workhouse and let him be relieved.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Rosetta Daughters, a woman about thirty years of
age, was charged with bigamy.
Robert Daughters, a private in the Oxford Blues,
stated that he was married to the prisoner in June,
1837, and that she ran away from him soon after •
wards. Since then he ascertained she had married a
man named Highwood, and the witness produced the
register of the second marriage, dated the 7th of
February in the present year.
The prisoner said that she ran away from Daughters
in consequence of her not relishing a soldier's life ;
that she went to live with Highwood, but was not
his wife, as she kneW the consequences if she married
him.—She was remanded.

William Cappeline was charged with attempting to
drown himself.
Between one and two o'clock this morning the de-
fendant walked into the river near the Archbishop's
Palace, the tide being out at the time, and waded in
the mud and water until he got up to his chin. Being
observed, a policeman got into a wherry, and with dif-
ficulty extricated him from his perilous situation.
The defendant said he had had a glass too much,
and being ill he intended to destroy himself, but was
sorry now that he had made the attempt.
He was held to bail.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
__

The arrivals of English Wheat were small, and
Monday's prices were fully supported. Foreign at
the same rates, but the quantity more limited. Fine
Barley was in demand, but secondary qualities met a
heavy sale. Peas improved in value, and Beans diffi-
cult of sale. The Oat trade was exceedingly flat.

S M ITH FIE LD.
In to day's markets no fresh supplies of stock from
abroad were exhibited ; but we had on sale eight
Spanish oxen, which were turned out unsold
on Monday. With beasts from our own districts
we were moderately supplied, while the demand
for them was slow, at unaltered quotations. Although
the number of Sheep were rather scanty, the mutton
trade was dull, at barely late rates. For Veal there
was scarcely any inquiry, and the figures had a
downward tendency. Pigs were a mere drug,
and might have been purchased on easier terms.
From Scotland, we received 10 horned and polled
Scots ; and from Ireland, 13 Calves and 117 Pigs,
with 14 Oxen. Much Cows moved off slowly, at
from 161. to 191. each.
