CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 19.
The arrivals of Grain in general last week were not large. This
morning there are only short fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans,
and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and not many Oats fresh
up. The Wheat Market was composed chiefly of samples left over
from former supplies, moat of which are out of condition, and con-
sequently unfit for our millers' use. Fine dry parcels of Wheat
fully supported the terms of this day se'nnight ; but other qualities
are very dull in sale, and hardly support last quotations. Barley
fully supports the terms last quoted. Beans sell very heavily, anti
to make progress less prices must be submitted to. Peas of both
kinds are without alteration. There was more disposition on the
part of buyers to purchase Oats last market day; but so soon as it
was known that the average of the first week, which regulates im-
portation, was 275. 6d. being above the limit for opening the ports,
the trade became dull again, and it was with dillicuhy that the
prices of this day sc'nnight could be obtained.

OLD DAILEY, JULY 17.

WIT.LIAM RAMSDEN ROBINSON.

[We have given an account cf the trial of this unfortunate young
mar. . for stealing two Albums from Mr. Denham, in Regent-street,
for which he was acquitted. In a part of our impression, also, we
gave his second trial, of which we now subjoin a more detailed
account.]
The prisoner was indicted for stealing several books'
in the house of Mr. Dolb7, on the Ist of May.
Mr. Dolby sworn—l live at 95, Wardour-street. I
keep a shop, in which tobacco and snuff is sold, which
communicates with a door to a stationer's shop. I saw
the prisoner on the morning of the Ist of May in my
stationer's shop, with a list of publications, and he re-
.:nested me to look them out, but not to get those
hich I had-not by me. He left the list, and said he
world call in the evening. He called again between
seven and eight o'clock, and addressed my wife. I did
not hear what he said. I was originally in the snuff-I
shop when he called, but I saw him in the stationer's
shop through the glass door. Mrs. Dolby came and
told me of the prisoner having called, and I took the
list out of my desk and gave it to my wife, and she
went to the prisoner. I told her to inform him that I
had not looked out the books. I afterwards saw the
prisoner standing outside the counter, and Mrs. Dolby
looking out the publications. The prisoner was under
my obsei vatioti in the-shop for ten or fifteen minutes.
went to the snoff-shop, and soon afterwards beard an
alarm given by Mrs. D3lby ; and found the prisoner
had decamped with the books, and the list also. I
have not the least doubt whatever of the prisoner being
the person.
Mrs. Dolby confitmed the above testimony.—" The
prisoner, in a raised tone of voice, asked me why they
were not ready? and said he would wait while I looked
out what 1 had got by me. Having looked them out,
I told the prisoner that I believed I had looked out
nearly the whole, and placed them before him on the
counter. Ile then said, I want the firs; 19 Numbers of
Dolby's acting Plays; I gave them to the prisoner, and
he then said he wanted Nos. 1 and 20 of the same work,
and while I was in the act of taking them from the
cupboard, the prisoner cleared the counter of all the
propel ty I had looked out. I am positive the prisoner at
the bar is the person."
Mr. Justice BURROUGII called upon the prisoner for
his defence.
_ _ _

Prisoner—Gentlemen of the Jury, in this case, as in
the last, I have been mistaken by the v. itness for another
person. You will have clearand distinct evidence laid
before you proving an alibi. With these observations I
confidently leave my case in your hands.
Mr. Robinson sworn—l am brother to the prisoner.
The prisoner took tea with me, and spent the evening,
on the Ist of May. He did not leave me till 11 o'clock
on that night.
Thoma. Cbceseman sworn—l was servant to last
witress ; on the Ist of May the prisoner came about six
o'clock to my master's, and remained till eleven.
Cross•examined—The prisoner had taken tea half a
dozen times at the house of the last witness. I have no
reason to believe it was the Ist of May, except that on
that day he took tea, and did not dine.
Ephraim Mailer, shopman to Mr. Bannister, mercer,
No. 98, Strand, sworn.—Early in June, a young man,
resembling the prisoner, came into my master's shop,
and asked for handkerchiefs; I skewed him some;
whilst reaching other goods, the prisoner• ran off with
the handkerchiefs. When the prisoner was at Marl-
borough-street Office, I went to see him, and found that
he was very much like the young man. The man who
committed the robbery was dressed in a blue coat, gilt
buttons, black silk waistcoat, and dark small-clothes.

Mr. Butler, the clerk to Mr. Harmer, the attorney,
was examined, to account for the last witness not having
been called on the former trial. He said that the wit-
nc,s did not communicate the facts, he could prove, till
uitl,in half an hour of tha►time.

Mailer re-examined by Mr. LAW.—He saw in the
Newspapers a description of the prisoner's 'person, and
he wrote to Mr. Abrahams, to info! m him such a person
committed a robbery in his master's shop. He went to
see the prisoner at Matlborough•street, and knew he
was not the person who committed the robbery.
The same witnesses as in the former case were again called to
character.
Mr. Justice &mamma read over the evidence, and left it to the
Jury to decide upon the prisoner's guilt or innocence. The Jury
consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner expressed the utmost astonishment at the result of
t►e trial; and a feeling of disappointment was very general through-
out the Court.

After the return of the verdict, Messrs. Aunitews, Thwart:ex,
and Pun.t.tes, the Counsel fur the prisoner, held a consultation
with the Judges respecting the remainder of the indictments against
the prisoner, and expressed a wish that he should be tried upon
then, to give them an opportunity of proving the prisoner's inno-
cence of these charges, and also of the one upon which he had, to
their surprise, been found guilty.
Mr. Law being out of Court, the Judges did not give a decision
upon the subject. The prisoner was removed from the bar.
The following prisoners were also convicted of larcenies, vie.—
William Hooper, aged 33; Frederick Wingrave, 17 ; William Par-
ker, 18; Charles Wilkinson, 17; Jane Horrobine, 1S; Joseph
Howlet, 20; John Clark, 11 ; George Reed, 23; John Featley,
17; George Ward, 19; William Tap, 20; Sarah Forrester, 63;
P.obett Inglebert, 20; John Harris, 42 ; John Creaser, 17 ; John
Winn, IS ; Joseph Smith, 15; Solomon Dias, 22 ; Barnett Lyon,
il3; William Rockland, 33; Henry Stephen Martin, 110 j Isaac
Stone, 28; and Joseph Oliver, 18.
The following were acquitted, viz.—Peter Buchanan, aged 41 ;
Joseph Harris, 28; Thomas Abrahams, 21; and Henry Wilt* 27.
