S U NY JANUARY 80, 1846 MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. THURSDAY EVENING. TlMES.—Public opinion in the City is setting more strongly than yesterday in favour of the new Ministerial measures. Some parties, so far from thinking them im politic, have only the objection to offer that they might ju,t as well have been brought forward two sessions ago, and that they have no necessary connexion with a re mission of the duties on corn ; but the great majority believe that they have been wisely deferred to the pre sent time, were it only to afford a set-off to the other great national boon. It is said also, by the party fa vourable to the Minister's policy, that the strong posi tion he has now resumed could never have been attained but by a combination of favourable circumstances, and that even the letter of Lord John Russell and his own resignation will prove ultimately to be important elements in the final success of his measure. All inci dents which tend to increase his power have peculiar value among the members of the trading and banking interests. After his avowed pacific policy, short of na tional degradation or insult, the merchants feel all the importance of strengthening his hands in the way that will be done by the success of these great measures. They feel that these circumstances will increase the cau tion of the Americans in offering any thing like provo cation, as they may be certain that it will now be in stantly repelled and resented by this country; that the nation is all the more secure of peace, by showing that it is quite prepared for immediate action. Another col lateral effect which it is hoped among the trading in terest these new measures may have, especially if they should be triumphantly carried out, is that of inducing foreign countries to follow their example, and that they will thus lead to a great exte nsion of our commerce. They highly commend the Minister's declaration that he placed no reliance on reciprocity from foreigners in making these sweeping concessions to them, for they believe that their moral influence will be stronger, and work out better results than could ever have been produced under express stipulations, liable to be broken as soon as entered into. They are confi dent that the Minister of any foreign state, disposed befor?to the adoption of a liberal policy, will derive arguments as well as motives from the expose of Tuesday night. To Spain, above all, they believe that It will convey a great lesson, and afford critical support to the Government of that country at a time when all its ten dencies lean towards the removal of restrictions and pro hibitions. The City is in such a false position, and will remain so until this bugbear of the railway deposits is removed, that no estimate is yet to be formed of the financial bearings of the new measures. The Bank notice of yesterday has contracted the period of ac commodation to 14 days, and all accommodation in other places is in the most uncertain state. Evt nin the course of a few hours a change is experienced, as was the case this morning, when money, though com paratively easy yesterday, became suddenly tight ; and when dealers asked each other the cause, there was no explanation to be given. That money placed in deposit for railway purposes is now coming out again for in vestment, is shown by the better condition of the Ex chequer-bill market ; and the uneasy feeling, therefore, perceptible in the course of this morning, accompanying the tightness of money, must be ascribed to doubts whe ther all the parties to whom these deposits have been in trusted are prepared to bring them forward when called for. Nothing transpired during the hours of business to bear out this supposition. The Bank Directors, who held their weekly board to-day, parted without making any alteration in the rate of discount, which they must have done had they conceived that any causes, otherwise than of a temporary nature, were pressing on the mar k( t. Their limitation of the time is well adapted to the peculiar situation of the railway deposit question. The tightness of money observed in the course of the morn ing has no reference to the settlement of the account at the Stock-Exchange, which is regulated upon different principles from those of commercial business. HERALD.—A railway case, involving a principle of great importance, has been for some time under inves tigation by the Committee of the Stock Exchange. The facts, as stated to us, are as follow :—About the time the share market began to give way, the provisional com mittee of the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway Com pany allotted their shares, their prospectus having been previously a considerable time before the public. It appears that the Committee had considered it doubt ful if their deposits would be paid in the then state of the market, and in order to promote that very desirable object the solicitor of the company employed a respect able broker on the Stock Exchange to support them by purchasing them in, at a premium varying from to per share. When the period limited for receiving the depo-its had expired, it however turned out that the number purchased by the said broker formed the greatest proportion of the whole number pai i upon, and as the Provisional Committee would in such an event be compelled to make good the premiums to the pur chasers, besides having all the shares thrown back upon their hands, they had recourse to the following expedient iu order to get rid of the responsibility. Instead of issuing scrip when the allottees applied for it to deliver to the purchasers, to those who signed the deed they gave a certificate to the effect that the scrip would be forthcoming at a future time. This, however, appears only to have been a pretext to turn the edge of the ire of the disaffected allottees in the firs - instance, for when the Committee came to be pressed by their importuni ties, they answered that they had not obtained a suffi cient amount of money to enable them to go to Parlia ment; and that it had, in consequence, become expedient to dissolve the Company, and refund the money, minus the expenses incurred. The saidexpenses were in the first in stance taken at 10s. per share, but afterwards the mulct was increased to 12s. per share, in order to meet the probable expense of a bill filed in Chancery by one of the allottees, who did not choose to submit to the arbitrary decision. The above is the simple history of the case as we have been informed, but the part of the case which waits the decision of the Stock Exchange Committee is, whether the broker is bound to fulfil the engagements he entered into with the parties in the house who sold him the shares. The point rests with him, upon no scrip being delivered, which it is clear is the subterfuge adopted by the Provisional committee to get rid of the responsibility as above stated; and the question is, ought they to be permitted to take advantage of their own wrong ? The broker admits that he was employed to purchase the shares by the solicitor of the company, and this admissioa once made, the common sense view of the case obviously points out that he should make good his engagements, and seek his remedy from the parties who employed him. The employment of brokers in a similar manner by rail way companies has, we are informed, been so common an affair in the Stock Exchange, that it may appear something like a hardship to throw the onus on the agent in this instance, who has been made the scapegoat of the real delinquents. This consideration should, however, nut deter the committee of the Stock Ex change from honestly and fearlessly performing their duty. The broker should clearly be held responsible for all the purchases made in the house, at the risk of exposing himself to the usual penalty (expulsion) for refusal. After the decision of the Court of Exchequer in the case of " Young v. Smith," there is no question but the broker can recover from his employers : and, indeed, if the latter attempt to go into Court, we suspect that the refusal to issue scrip, upon which they seem to rest their safety, will not improbably bring them bet ter acquainted with the Attorney-General, under a clause in a recent Act of Parliament specially made fur the accommodation of such gentlemen. If there is no fund provided by the members of the Stock Exchange to prosecute in such cases (which we believe there is not), a subscription should be set on foot to aid the broker, if necessary ; but be that as it may, the Stock Exchange committee should unhesitatingly do their part of the duty. THE ACTION ON THE PARANA. The account of the brilliant attack of the combined English and French squadrons on the positions of General Roses, on the right bank of the Parana, for the purpose of opening the navigation of that river, will have been purused with pride and admiration both in France and England ; for the annals of modern warfare scarcely supply a more herioc achievement. The inso lent audacity of Roses in endeavouring to close one of the noblest rivers in the world against foreign vessels of every description, has long called for the most vigorous Ines—tires on the part of the French and English forces stationed in his neighbourhood ; and, notwithstanding their immense disparity of force, they have not been slow to obey the call. The smallness of the vessels em ployed on this service—none of the ships of the combined fleet being larger than brigs or corvettes —offered a serious obstable to the success of the enter prise. The allied force consisted of ten vessels, for the most part of the smallest descript ion, comprising less than 1,000 men. The position of Rosas was defended by four batteries at nearly equal distances from each other, mounting from 24 to 30 24-pounders. Between the second and third of these batteries, 24 small vessels were strongly moored across the river by large iron cables, whilst immediately above this barricade, on the left bank, Rosas's brig, the Republican°, was so placed as to enfilade the opposing ships. Bes ides this force, four fire-ships were stationed in the neig hbourhood of the bridge of boats. The position of. Routs was moreover defended by upwards of 4,000 cavalry, who were driven from their posts on th e landing of the combined force like chaff before the wind by a handful of French and Eng lish seamen and marines. Not the least gratifyi ng p ar t of the affair was t he cordiality with which French and English fought under a common leader, and th e f ran k an d generous spirit in which they acknowledged and commended each other's gallantry in the affair. This achievement, so honourable to the arms of the two na tions, will, we trust, increase, and cement the good understanding and generous rivalry which a ppears to subsist at the present moment between the naval forces of the two countries. N o o ffi c i a l a c counts have been received of this gallant affair, but ample details are ex pected by the Express pa c ket -brig. The last letters f ro m Admiral Ing lefield, the Commander-in-Chief of the station, off Monte Video, and from Capt. Hotham, up the Parana, anticipated severe measures against Rosas, who had proposed further negotiation, with the intention only of gaining time to strengthen his means of defence, or to consummate some act of treachery.

The sales were 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including 1,100 Pernam and Maranham, at 5 3 / 4 d. to 6d. ; 400 Egyptian at 5 1 ,4 d. to 5 3 / 4 d.; 500 Surat at 2,0. to 3 1 %d.; and 4,000 American at 3 3 / 4 d. to sd. per lb. Shares were very dull, but prices were not lower. The English Stock Market bas been rather better again to-day, but is scarcely so firm as it was at the commence ment of business. Consols have been 94% % for Money, and 95 to % for Account. Now the former are marked 94%, and the latter 943. Bank Stock has been quoted 206, and India Stock 255 to 257. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% to 97%. The Foreign Investments have been rather lower. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 27 3 / 4 ; the Three rer Cents. 38 to 1% ; Venezuela, 43 ; Mexican, 30% ; Grenada, 21 3 / 4 , and Peruvian, 39 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59 1 % ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 97, and Danish, 88 3 /4. Shares, though dull, have been better to-day. The de bate in the House last night on the Railway deposit ques tion shows bow little the Government apprehends any serious results, and what exaggeration prevails in the notion of extreme difficulty.

I NEWARK, THURSDA Y .—y ester d ay (W e d nes day) general meeting of the members of this Association was held at the Hotel, Newark, to receive the annual report of the committee, and to take into consideration the propriety of expunging from the 4,11 rule of the Society the following woris :—" And that the Society shall on no account interfere in any election for a Member to serve in Parliament," and the further steps to be ren dered necessary thereby. The meeting was called for eleven, but did not com mence till nearly one o'clock, owing to an arrangement to receive by express from Nottingham the London papers, containing a report of Sir R. Peel's speech in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night. W. J. Pickin, Esq., having been appointed Chairman, an adjournment took place to the Town-hall. Amongst the company, which amounted to about 150, were Sir Robert Bromley, Bart., Rev. J. Storer, W. J. Pickin, Esq., G. W. Clutton, Esq., H. Gilbert, Esq., Rev. C. Clinton, George Storer, Es q ., W. Ward, Esq-, J. J. Marfleet, Esq., R. Milward, Esq., Joseph Burgess, Esq., E. Hodgkinson, Esq., J. C. Stenton, Esq„ R. Harvey, Esq., T. S. Godfrey, Esq., R ev . J. J. Myers, &c. The CHAIRMAN havin g opene d t h e p roce edings, the w annual report as read a n d a d op t e d. The following resolution was moved and seconded : " That the following words be expunged from the fourth rule of this Society, that this Society shall on no account interfere in any election for a Member to serve is. Parliament.' " Sir R. BROMLEY, Bart., moved as an amendment that the words be not expunged. No one seconding the amendment, it was lost. The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted That the general committee of this society be in structed to appoint a sub-committee to take into conside ration those measures which the exclusion of the latter part of the rule may render necessary." " That the Duke of Newcastle be requested to pre sent the petition to the House of Lords, and that Col. Rolleston do take charge of the petition to the House of Commons, and that the Members for the county be re quested to enforce the same." "That this meeting views with alarm, though not -with surprise, the contemplated measures of Sir Robert Peel, leading to an immediate diminution and rapid abo lition of all protective duties on foreign corn, and consi ders that the arguments advanced by him in support of his change of opinions are to the last degree fallacious and sophistical." " That this meeting being well assured, from practical experience, that no sufficient compensation can be given to the cultivators of the soil for the abolition of protec tive duties, pledges itself to resist any alteration in the existing corn-laws by all constitutional means." " That while this meeting recognises the independence of Members of Parliament, and their right of voting ac cording to the dictates of their conscience on any parti cular question, it considers it a breach of public faith for them to retain their seats in order to support general measures in direct opposition to the opinions of their constituents, and to the principles they themselves pro fessed at their election." The Secretary then read the following letters: — "London, Jan. 26, 1846. " Sir,—lf I should be retnrned to Clamber, and be able to attend, I will gladly attend your meeting at Newark on the 28th. I shall be anxious to do so, if I can, if only to assist you in the performance of your good work, and testify my hearty desire to co-operate with you in so important a cause in such a perilous emergency.—l remain, Sir, yours very truly, " NEWCASTLE. " Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark." " Whitehall-place, Jan. 23, 1846. " Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge your letter, in closing a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of the Nottinghamshire Agricultural Protection Society, held on the 31st of December. " I can assure the members of the Association, with all sincerity, that I am not unmindful of the trust which was reposed in me at my election. I shall endeavour to execute that trust with fidelity to them and to the rest of my fellow-countrymen; but I should be faithless, and deserving of their severest censure, if I acted on any question in opposition of my own conscientious convic tions. " I do not hesitate to avow that my opinion in refe rence to protection has undergone a great change since the last general election. My constituents know how completely my interests are identified with agriculture, and however they may condemn my present views as erroneous, it is impossible that the) can impugn their sincerity. " I feel confident, however, that experience, which has brought conviction to my mind, will, before long, con vince also many of them. " Nevertheless, it is to me a matter of most painful regret that the course which I am about to adopt in Parliament is opposite to the wishes of many who have hitherto honoured me with their confidence. I must not, however, and will not, shrink from what I conceive to be my duty. "Whenever another election comes I shall be pre pared to defend, and I hope to justify, every vote that I have given, and especially the measures which are about to be introduced by the Government of which I am a Member—measures which, if an independent Member of Parliament, I would have defended at the meeting on the 31st of December, to which you invited me. " Personally, I care not how soon the day of account may come.

" Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark." [Loud hissing, which lasted soma time, succeeded the reading the Earl of Lincoln's letter.] A resolution was then adopted to the following effect: —" That this meeting, having heard from the Earl of Lincoln that he is prepared to support the measures of Sir Robert Peel, instructs the committee immediately to forward to his Lordship a copy of these resolutions, and to request him to take the only step consistent with public honour, by resigning his seat as Member for South Nottinghamshire." The motion having been carried, the meeting soon after broke up.

NEWARK, THURSDAY, TWO"O'CLOCK, P.M.—The elec tion took place for this borough this morning, the pro ceedings commencing soon after nine o'cluck, but, owing to the absence of Opposition, being entirely destitute of interest. Mr. Burnaby having read the writ, Bribery Act, and administered the oath to James Snow, Esq., mayor, as the returning officer, the electors were called upon to nominate their candidates to fill the ♦acancy occasioned by William Ewart Gladstone, Esq., accepting office in the Cabinet. _ _ Mr. Thompson, in rising to nominate John Stewart, Esq., of Hertford•street, May-fair, London, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Newark, as sured the electors that he had great pleasure in discharg ing the duty, as he knew Mr. Stewart to be an honour able, upright, and straightforward man, who always acted conscientiously, and was a strenuous supporter of our ancient institutions, and a defender of the agricutural in terests of the country.—(Hear, hear.) An ELECTOR—Yes, because you know the Duke of Newcastle sent him.—(Laughter.) Mr. JOSEPH BRANSTON briefly seconded the nomi nation. Mr. JOHN ANDREWS, a working maa, said that there had been no observation about the League, and that should anything he said, he was there to defend it. He should require a show of hands in favour of free trade before the meeting separated. The MAYOR inquired if any elector had another can didate to propose, but not reviving any answer, he de clared John Stuart, Esq., barrister-at-law, duly elected. Mr. STUART came forward in the midst of partial cheering and shouts of disapprobation, and addressed the electors, thanking them for the great honour be stowed upon him in electing him as their representative in the House of Commons. If any man (he observed) supposed that he appeared there to insist upon the ne cessity of supporting the landed proprietors, the farmers, and the peasants, in opposition to the honest manufacturer, the honest tradesman, or any man who lives by honest industry, he was mistaken, as he (Mr. Stuart) wanted to do justice to all, and to have fair play on both sides. He would 'maintain that it was wrong to place one class of the community against another, as the practice now is. He stated it as his opinion that the Anti-Corn law League was dishonest, and he thought, if the man who was on the hustings as their defend er were w i se , h e would abandon them.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he remarked that be thought the landed interest had been very unfairly and improperly attacked, and in his opinion unconstitutionally so, and he should use his utmost efforts to defend it.—(Applause.) But, though he should guard the agricultural interest, he should have great respect towards those of the commercial and manufac turing portions of the community. He thought this a improper very time to a ttack the lan ded interest, as the farmers were contented, the manufacturers and tradesmen were never more prosperous, and the revenue never had better returns.—(Cheers.) He concluded by assuring the electors he shou ld act fairl y to all, and do his duty in supporting the landed interest.—(Appl ause. ) Mr. ANDREWS called for a show of hands in favour of free trade, when upwards of one hundred hands was held • u p.--(Laughter.) Air. BRANSTON called for three cheers for the Queen , which were heartily given. After a vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved by Mr. , I Thompson, seconded by Mr. Stuart, the electors sepa -1 i rated.

CORN EXCHANGE.—(FRIDAY.) Our market still continues in a very dull state for all arti cles of grain. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been very limited, yet the demand for it to-day was ex cessively heavy, at almost nominal figures. Free Foreign Wheat was held at full currencies, yet it was only those in actual want who were disposed to do any business, most of the buyers being disposed to wait the result of Monday's sup ply. There was a fair supply of both Norfolk and Suffolk Barley on show. For all kinds the sale was dull, at a re duction in prices of is per quarter. The Malt trade was dull, and the rates had a downwa rd tendency. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were heavy, at barely late rates. ARRIVALS. Oats Fleur. Wheat. ' Barley.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor took lunatic petitions to day. IN THE CASE OF THE COUNTESS OF STAIR, • LUNATIC. In tins case the LORD CHANCELLOR, On the applica tion Of counsel, appointed Thursday next, at two o'cloc k, at his house in George-street, Hanover-square, to see the physicians, and hear their opinion of the state of mind at the present moment of the Countess of Stair. Our readers will recollect that a short time since the case came before the Court upon the petition of Lady Stair for the superseding of the commission, and the matter was ordered to stand over in order that his Lordship might see the physicians and the lady herself. IN THE MATTER OF DYCE SOMBRE, ♦ LUNATIC. Mr. SHADWELL stated that he was instructed in the case on behalf of Mr. I)yce Sombre, who had presented a petition praying that the commission that had been issued against him might be superseded, to ask of his Lordship to appoint an early day to hear the petition. The LORD CHANCELWR enquired whether Mr. Dyce Sombre had come within the jurisdiction of the Court? Ma. SHADWELL said that he had not. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then I shall not advanc e the petition. From the nature of the case, you should have given notice to the other side of your application. The committee ought to have had notice. Thus the matter rests at present , an d t h e petition will come on before the Court in the usual course. with The remainder of the morning wi!s occupied hearing lunatic petitions of no general interest, .-- ROLLS COUR'. ,(_ - His Lordship sat at ten o'clock, and restumed the shear ing of short causes. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DA Y ') The Vice-Chancellor of England was occapied the whole morning with unopposed petitions and short cituses. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRA.M.) Ilit3 Honour heard several unopposed petitions and short causes to-day, but there was nothing of public in terest. His Honour Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to -day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WILLIAIaI.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule to show Cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the L. t :rd Bishop of Chester, commanding him to restore to a 141: Travis two pews, or sittings, in the parish church of Black ley. He stated that the present application arose out et some peculiar cii cumstances which had lately occurred hr the parish of Blackley. The ancestors of Mr. Travis had re sided in Blackley for several centuries, and as long back as the memory could reach with regard to that parish, or as far as documents could go, his ancestors had been in posses sion of two pews, and also a family vault situated under these pews. About four or Eve years since it was found necessary, in consequence of the extensive decay which age had produced in the church, to pull it down and build a new one in its place. The new c hurch was built by subscription, and also with the aid of the Church Commissioners. The church being completed, the Lord Bishop of Chester ap pointed a commission of three clergymen to take into con sideration the claims of various persons to pews and sittings, and to allot them to such as established a good claim, Mr. Travis appeared before these gentlemen and made his claim in the proper form ; but nothing occurred at that time which could induce him to suppose that his ap plication would be refused. The gentlemen appointed having made their report to the bishop, Mr. Travis found, to his great surprise, that the bishop had declined to admit his claim. Under these circumstances he was compelled to make the present appliL ation in order to obtain the restitu tion of his right. There was only one authority which he could at present cite, and that was the Act 59th Geo. 111., cap. 134, sec. 40, which provided that all persons who were possessed of sittings or pews in an old church, should, in case of a new church being built, have their pews or sittings in positions as nearly similar as possible to those of the former pews. The title of the present applicant was clearly made out, and therefore applied for a mandamus. Mr. Justice WiLmAms—Has he no other remedy? . The SOLICITOR- GENERAL --NO, my Lord; if he proceede d m an Ecclesiastical Court it would be objected that the right was a right at common law, and should therefore be decided in another court. A rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue is his only course.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) EX-PARTE THE PARISH OF BRIDGEWATER. The plaintiff in this suit, who was the rector of the parish of Bridgewater, claimed certain tithes on lands in his parish, which the landowners disputed, and the question was referred to the Tithe Commissioners, who made an award in favour of the plaintiff, with which the defendants were dissatisfied, and the rector brought an action at law against them under the Tithe Commu tation Act. He succeeded in his action, and the only question now in dispute was, as to who should ray the costs of the action at law. Mr. CROWDER now moved this Court for an order calling on the defendants to pay the costs, as taxed by the proper officer, on the general ground that the losing party in all suits at law ought, a nd invariably did, pay the costs of the successful party. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the motion, an d said that, in cases of this nature, the Court of Exchequer had the discretionary power of ordering or refusing the costs o action brought under the Tithe Commutation Act. The COURT ruled that the costs abided the result of the action, and therefore the defeadants ought to pay them. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Everts.) IN RE WIFFIN. This insolvent, who carried on business as a plumber, painter, &c., at Ingatestone, came up on his petition for an interim order, and was opposed on the ground that he had not set forth in the schedule the amount of pro perty which could be administered by the Court, a blank being left in in the schedule. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the omission was fatal to the application. Mr. BUCHANAN, the insolvent's attorney, said that there was not a farthing. The Learned COMMISSIONER—Then it should be so stated. I will, when persons come up to get rid of their creditors, have all the circumstances sworn to so dis tinctly that perjury can be assigned. Mr. BUCHANAN—I submit that the present mode of making out the schedule is the only proper one. The COMMISSIONER—You may submit what you like; that is my decision and I will not hear your argument. The insolvent said he could not help it; he had de pended entirely on his attorney, and had been put to four guineas useless expense.—The petition was dismissed. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary jißlEs.) HUDSON V. GARRARD. The plaintiff in this action is an attorney, and the de• fendant a surgeon. The claim was for 21. lls. 10d., the amount of a bill of costs. The facts of the case were these :—ln 1844 defendant spoke to a friend named Parnell as to getting in some outstanding debts, and Mr. Purnell recommended him to go to plaintiff. Defendant said he did not mind trying one case, that of Mr. Hibbert. Mr. Purnell, who was in the habit of employing the plaintiff, went to him ; and at the time requested plaintiff to write to Mr. Hibbert. This was done, and plaintiff communicated the result of his application to de fendant, who, however, did not make any reply to plaintiff directly, but Mr. Purnell told him writing to Ilibbert was no use, something else must be done. Mr. rumen could not tell what the reply was, but on going again to plaintiff, told him to issue a writ, which was done, and defendant and Hibbert afterwards met and came to some arrangement. The plaintiff had never seen defendant, or had any retainer from him, and the question now Arose as to whether Mr. Purnell was acting by the express authority of defendant.—Verdict for the plaintiff.

She instantly turned round, and seeing the defendant walking hastily away, followed him g step or two, and, giving him a push in the back, asked him why he insulted her. The defendant turned round and struck her with his walking-cane across the forehead. She directly called the police and gave him into custody. He was intoxicated at the time.
