LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAL) )CRT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) YoUNG r. I suit. which has occupied the attention of the court Arlo three weeks, reached its last stage this morn heit James Wilde summed up the case, after ; the lew on the subject of insanity as laid down by ivy Council in Waring r. Waring. There was really di thing as partial insanity, though there might be in which the mind manifested its unsoundness on one or more topics, and the test of its ,10) was whether the sufferer could bear those to be touched without betraying his hallu .• If the theory of insanity were carried any r than that it would be impossible to know whether A i was sane or not. He might marry, or enter into ~t,, or, in fact, he might do all the acts that a sane might do. and all might turn out to be null. It ...store of the greatest importance to the interests ety that they should not lightly pronounce a man mad whom everybody believed to be in ,rtect possession of his faculties. In this case contended on the one side that the is. Miss Deady, both while living with her moth er ahead, and by herself at Feltbam had paid and • visits, had managed her house and kept her es like sane person. Not only so, but there had great deal of business to transact in connection rr property, and she appeared to have done it i n • ✓ that was rather accurate for • woman. In 181 U, tin in ISSB, her mother, who must have known a she was mad or not, made her will and ted the testatrix her executrix. In October rut before the making of her will, a blend of hers, tubhs, pod her a visit, and recommended her to ler &Nair'. That looked as if Miss Stubbs supposed be sane. But that was not all. Miss Stubbs stated .e testatrix told her what she intended to do with her ty. and the account she gave seemed to be seen on the whole, if the case of the plaintiff toed alone, the jury would have had no in deciding for the will. But then came deuce on the other aide. It was stated that before lit to Feltham the testatrix had an affection of the , which she attributed to a snake or to • tree grow. ere. There was also evidence that she wrote papers it was suggested were certain nonsensical dean which had been produced, and which were without But it was right to say that one of the witnesses had to having seen the testatrix's mother take up them and make some remark upon it ; so er mother could not have been ignorant of their Then it was said that the boys used to hoot her village; but on that point it might besaid that there iierennial warfare going on between old maids and boys. On the whole, however, the learned judge that if the jury believed the whole of the evidence had been given of the testatrix's eccentricities they Dueled* that she was in such • state as to require egret) of restraint. But then it must be recollected is was a second trial, and second trials were always o one objection. When a cause was first heard only ridence which might be called the natural evidence case was presented to the court ; but at • subsequent le whole ground was swept over again ; and besides .twortby testimony a good deal of dirt was often 1p with it. The common ground on which both sides was not much, but it was not without its value. It reed that it, 1861 the testatrix was undoubtedly ad that she bad written some of the papers which m so much referred to, and which could only have ritten by a mad person. It was quite possible that Lag up the evidence for the new trial persons might !en asked to tax their recollection, and might quite itionally have ante-dated the circumstances to they deposed. The learned judge then proceeded to at on the details of the evid.ence. jury, after a brief deliberation, found for the f, thus a second time establishing the validity of I. mut reserved the question of costs.

The supply of English wheat on offer waa limited, and the quality of the samples inferior. For both red and white parcels there was very little inquiry, and prime were altogether nominal. There was a good show of foreign wheat, but the de mand was inactive, on previous terms. Fine malting barley sold steadily, at late rates, but other descriptions were very dull. The malt trade war heavy, at drooping currencies. The quantity on sale was extensive. The importations of oats have been very large, but the quality of the samples was generally inferior. Good sound corn maintained previous terms, but ill-oonditioned lots could be purchased on lower terms. Rye was very inactive, at nominally late rates. Maize, being scarce, was held for folly previous terms. Beans were a slow sale, but no quotable change took place in values._ _ _ Peas were dull, and rather cheaper. In flour there was very little passing ; millers made no change in the value of town made, and country marks were nominally unaltered. Linseed and rapeseed, owing to the late large arrivals, sold on easier terms. Clover seeds were dull. In other agricultural seeds there was very little doing. There has been vey little animation in the floating grain cargo trade, and pi:ces for most descriptions of pro duce have had a drooping tendency. Fine cargoes of wheat, being scarce, have realised fully late rates, but inferior qualities were very difficult to dispose of exoept at a decline in the quotations. For cargoes on passage and for shipment there has been very little inquiry.
