years of age. Plaintiff stated that defendant used

:pa= for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jolliffe for the
William Jewell, • man-servant in the
.employ of tha mid he had been out on •
long journey. Between six and seven o'clock
in • evening be was returning home.
Mr. Conolly was with him. As be
was mending Modford.bill, be saw. horse and trap
coming down. Ile was walking his horse up the
aear aide of the hill. When he saw the horse and
trap coming he called out as loud as he could. Mr.
Conolly also shouted out. Defrndant did not keep
the right side of the road, and his vehicle took the
olf-wbeel off the dogmrt, and stopped the pony.
He jumped out to see what was the matter, and
found the shafts broken. The defendant drove on,
and witness ran after him for nearly • mile. He
overtook defendant, and took hold of his horse, and
asked the name of the party. The driver asked
" What for," and he replied it was for driving into
his dog-cart. The driver said he bad not done so,
and tild him to let go the horse. He said he would
if he told him the name. The driver said, "it is
nay trap," mid be replied, "Who are you;"
but all that he (withers) could get out of defendant
was that it was "his trap." He positively refused
to give the name. Witness than let the bores go,
and returned to the dog-cart, when be found that
the shafts had been tied up by Conolly, and •
poliesmaa. Goodly then west on, and he and the
poliumean drove &bar defendant's car. They over-
took it at Mr.. Brown's, at Ashington. The car
wee in the yard, and be went into the stable, and
looked at the horse. He then inquired if the car
had been there long, and the servant said that it had
just been driven there. They than saw the driver,
end he denied having run Into the dogmit ; but
anted that be had just come from Yeovil, and
acknowledged having ran against something. The
lady who was in the carat the time, stated that his
(witness's) dog-cart was in the centre of the road,
and that one of the wheels of their oar was in •
ditch. The driver then said his name was Ryan,
and his master's name Mr. Hole, of Carten Denham.
Witness then returned home left e policeman at
Medford, and took up Mr. Conolly, th
olly, who was waiting
for him. A boy was passing aloes to them when
the collision torn place. It was the first time the
dog-cart had been used. He (witness) was a
teetotaler, and drank nothing during the day but
pepperm• t. Thomas Comity, • traveller, in the
employ of Meseta Whitniarsh, of Taunton, said he
was with the last witness at the time the accident
occurred. He corroborated the evidence of the
former witness, and added that he exerted his
vocal powers to its fullest extent to endeavour to
avoid • collision. Had their trap been nearer the
hedge, they would have driven over the boy who
was poising at the time, and who witnessed the
affair. All that he drank during the day was. glue
of the. John Guppy, the boy who witnessed the
collision, said he lived at Medford. He was panting
up Medford Hill, when the car, which was coming
down at a rapid pace, ran into the doccart, and
broke the shalt,P.C. Everleigh said he -helped tie
up the shaft, sad accompanied the witness Jewell to
Mrs. Brown's, at Ashington. He also cot roborthed
the previous evidence. Henry Marsh Custard
deposed that the dogcart was his. It was a new
one. He had been obliged to hire in mosequence of
his trap being broken, for which he had paid 10s.
He communicated with Mr. Hole, and defendant
called on him. He told him that be should expect
him to pay for the damage. Mr. Hole said it was
not his fault, as be was attending to the female at
the time. He refused to pay for it, sad left He
then sent for the policeman, and beard what he had
to say on the subject, after which be again wrote to the
defendant. He received the bill for the repairs of
the cart, which he also sent him, but defendant
returned it without an envelope. The tanclunaker
found both shafts of the cart broken. Mr. John
Hill, coach-builder, of Yeovil, said he repaired Mr.
Custard's dog-cart. It was a new one. Both shafts
were broken. The bill amounted to .f 3 ts. The
cart was mach twisted, and damaged. Mr.
Jo/liffe said his client was an • hly re-
spectable fernier reading at Coitus Den On
the day of the accident be had been to a *Min
company with some friends,and was returning house.
Ile was not aware that an accident bad happened.
When Mr. Custard wrote, defendant celled on him,
and expressed Ina willingness to pay the damage,
but not the 10e. for the hire, as charged in the Lill.
The me was similar to one of Reed v. Tate, in
which it was stated that if one person's carriage was
driven in • furious manner against another persons
carnage, and the latter saw the former coming, and
did not attempt to get out of the way, both parties
were rmpusible for the accident. This was a
similar me to that. Mr. Hole had not the slightest
conception that anything had taken place until the
witness, Jewell, stopped the bores in • violent
=sneer. The parties in the ear wen Mies Hole,
Mrs. Brown, Mr. Brown Gifford, himself, and On
driver, and he should prove that the maiden' was
mused simply by the negligence of the occupants of
the dog-cart. The witnesses Jewell and Comity
bad been very reluctant in stating what beanies
they had been out upon during the day, and the
whole matter with regard to the accident had been
Ctl az Watts said Mr. Jolliffe
eintirelnirrthen the lase of Green v. Chaplin.
The evidence for the defame was then called.—Mr.
Hole said on the day is question some friends of
his bad been to • sale. He accompsand them. They
were two listen and • nephew. He kept a oar,
which was open in frost, and Meng • glass door

Mr. Brown Clifford gave similar testimony.—
His honor said the question was, had there been an
accident? The evidence showed that there had
been, and the dispute was, who should pay the costs
of the damage? He would not say for a moment
that it was caused by wilful neglect. It appeared
thatthere was •woman in the trap, and the attention
of the occupants had been directed to her. There
was a good wide road, and bad the parties been at
proper distances in the road no accident would have
occurred. The evidence for the defence had not

Fear for the defendant. The plaintiff claimed 20
for some calves. Mr. Fear said be had been
instructed to acknowledge the debt, and to state
that defendant was now in very reduced circum-
stances. Ac order made for 10s. amontli.— —ln
Rs Thomas Parsons Strong.—Mr. Weston, of Dor-
chester, appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Fear
opposed on the part of Mr. Mandl, of Barwick, the
detaining creditor. The petitioner was brought up
from Dorchester gaol, where he bad been incarce-
rated since that day twelvemonth, fin default of
paying the expenses (.4105 6e.) incurred in what
had been characterised as a fraudulent will case,
heard before the late Sir Creswell Creswell. It
appeared that the petitioner had been before tbe
Registrar at Dorchester, who had refused to grant
him protection. His honor did not me bow, tinder
such circumstances be could bear the case, and the
petitioner was recommitted to Dorchester gaol for
some routine matters to be complied with previous
to the next Court day.
We have great pleasure in copying the-following
from the Lowpforal Jouroal (Ireland). referring narks,
to Mr. A. Beare, formerly drum.major of the band of
the rifle corps in this town, and who was some time
since apjainted baniniseter of the Royal Longford
Rides. The paragraph refers to the performance of the
Longford band in fluidic, and after giving • programme
of the pieoes performed, says:—" The performance of
this band under the able directions of their talented
bandmaster, and compow of several of the above
pieces, was most perfect, and frequently elicited loud
applause ; in fact, Mr. Beare seems to have a way of
his own in training young men to a °erre= performance
WI their various instruments, and we heartily congra-
tulate him upon the perfection to which he has brought
the band of the Royal Longford Rifles."

They call on farmer, and tradesmen, and obtain orders
for repairs of machinery and scales and weights, pull
the articles to piece., file them up, and charge for new
work. In one or two instances they have abstracted
large sums by their false representation'. They also
hawk about cloth which they palm off on the farmer
under the pretence that it has been taken in exchange
for work done. The material, however, is as worthless
as their machinery repairing, in fact, they are a set of
impostors.

—His honor said plaintiff was • poor roan who had
sold ISa worth of goods, which be could not, as •
matter of reason, do without receiving the money
for it. In the ordinary routine of household mattera,
the defendant was cognizant of his wife's goings on.

tiff, for whom Mr. Leech eppeared, was the owner
of an entire bone, and plaintiff's brother acted as
groom, end attended defendant's mare by order. At
the close of the season plaintiff called on defendant
for the amount, and the Latter informed him that the
brother owed him Bs. for boots. He did not autho-
rise his brother to bays the boots. Plaintiff's
brother stated that last tear he was the owner of •
horse called "Young Nelson." He led it round
himself. He bad dealings with the defendant. His
brother was not the owner of the horse, it belonged
to hie father.—Mr. Lowish read an advertisement
which appeared in • local paper, and which stated
that no money was to be paid to John Goy Phelps,
(plaintiff's brother) or such parties would still be
liable for the debt —John Guy Phelps dated that
an agreement had been entered into between his
brother and himself, to be in partnership during the
season.—His honor gave judgment for the de-
fendant. Cotty v. Phelps. A claim of
doe for • quantity of beans.—Mr.
Looch appeared for the defendant. —Plaintiff, who is
• farmer, residing at Fifehead, stated that defen-
dant's brother came to him, and stated that his
brother wished to purchase some beans. He told
him be could sell him some A few hours afterwards
the defendant fetched them. He (plaintiff) placed
the beans in some bags which be obtained at defen-
dant's father's house.—Mr. Leach said the son was
merely an agent fur the father, and the father was
therefore liable for the debt. —A witness proved
being present when the defendant fetched the beans,
and deposed to bearing hint say that he would pay
for them in a few days.—Jaines Phelps said he
called on plaintiff, at the request of his father, about
some beans. Plaintiff had only two and a half sacks
of the sample required. As be was leaving, plain-
tiff told him that he had better fetch them at ones,
and be replied that his brother would fetch them.
The bras were purchased for his father.—Plaintiff
denied this assertimi. William Phelps stated that he
bed not purchased, nor authorised his brother to per-
chant beaus for him of the plaintiff. He fetched •
quantity from the plaintiff's house for his father, in
consequence of what his brother had told him.
Plaintiff said defendant's father had never had any
transactions with him whatever, and he bad never
tendered him the bill for the amount He had made
frequent applications to the defendant for the
money, and he had promised to pay.—His honor
said the evidence was conclusive as to who was the
purchaser. There had been no question as to the
quantity or the pries, the argument merely was,
" who's to pay for the beam." Defendant had acknows
'edged that he had used • quantity of them.—

quarter's rent. Both partite reside at langport.—
Mr. Leach appeared for the plaintiff, who gated
that defendant had rented a house of him for the last
90 years, at an annual rent of £lO. The amount
was claimed for the last quarter. Defendant stated
that the boon had not been tenantable for sometime
past, and he had constantly asked plaintiff to repair
; it. The water ran down the walls, and the closet
was under the same roof as the house. He had
bees informed that unless • landlord kept a house in
teleantable repair he was not bound to pay the rent.
Deitedint concluded by wishing his honor to inspect
the premises, which his honor said ha could not
do, bat asked him why he did not leave the house.
Defendant stated that be could not get =other

He had promised to pay the amount for tbe sake of
living possibly with his landlord. The toceey was
ordered to be paid in a mouth.—F. Gillett v.

metro without going talCoint Defendant did not
dispute the debt, bet slated that the horses had not
done so well as he expected they would. Plaintiff
stated that the keep was good. The field was
situated in fiedrooor, and compered seven acres of
grass, and had been only stocked with OIN horse all
esnitow previously. Thomism Herrick, a herds-

THORNBURY. —Loan FIT= ARDINGIe, Housing.
—On Monday the meet of Lord Fttxhardinge's
bounds was at Alveston Ship, and was one of Use
largest and meet brilliant of the whole season, a
very large number of the gentry and yeomanry of
the immediate neighbourhood being present, and
many from a distance. Sir William Miles and seas,
Colonel Master and sons, J. Revile, Esq.,
Hayward, Ern &c. , were among the number. The
hounds drew Woolfridge Wood and Mr. Bush's
coverts blank, and some other places were tried in
vain, much to the disappointment of the field. At
last a fine fox was started from the Wally Beds at
A ukley, which gave them an hour and a half's run.
Being severely pressed, replant took an unsafe
refuge in the lawn of Mu. Whaley, of Alveston, and
was there killed by the hungry pack. The obliging
and plucky huntsman, willing, as always, to gratify
lovers of the chars, took them, though rather late,
to Hewwood, and from a small copse near, • fox
put them in full cry, and gave them a splendid run,
being run into, very late in the afternoon, in Woolf-
ridge Wood. Thus ended one of the best days of
the season, and perhaps the last meet in this im-
mediate locality.
Tun Mor. Yesterday was Thornbury "mop" or

• donation from Mr. The, M.P.; that nearly £lOO was
realised from • fete in the Sydney Gardens; £l2 lost in

of £1 in the amount obtained from the boxes. The

luting cards during the current year, with the view 01
further augmenting their funds. 'iii. financial state-
ment was read by Mr. G. Cox, treasurer, showing that

state that the institution is, both morally end

or TOR PRINCE AND PRINCEIVI 07
WALICIA —The anniversary of the wedding of the
Prince and Primers of Wales wee not celebrated in
Salisbury as in other towns in the ootuitry. One
solitary flag flatted from • house in Righstheet, and
a thisolour was suspended from • window in
Winchester-street; but its owner, we presume, per-
ceiving that it wag not fashionable, took it in early
in the morning. This was the only notice taken of
the anniversary of the marriage of England's future
king. We cannot question the loyalty of the
citizens of Salisbury, for addressers, expressing
unabated attachment and fidelity, have been pre-
sented to the Queen whenever an opportunity has
*Bored, and during the last few years they have been
frequeat. It is somewhat difficult, however, to re-
concile the demonstration of 1863, when the inhabi-
tants of Salisbury, in a manner almost unequalled in
the provinces, escrowed their delight at the alliance
of England's eldest son with the Priocess of
Denmark, and the apathy displayed In 1864.• Lest
year the poor were regaled sumptuously; the houses
everywhere were decorated profusely, and 1310007
was spent freely. The day was a complete holiday
for over one, and the rejoicing universal. lf, then.
such • great ovation was necessary on the occasion of
the marriage of their royal highness, surely some
little notice should have been taken of the christen-
ing of a prince, who, if he survives, is destined to
rule over this great empire, and will this 00OtIre to
the throne of Ragland a direct succession. But to
the surprise of every one, not a peal was heard.
' although our parish churches are furnished with
excellent bells, nor was titers a demonstration of any
kind whatever. The villages and towns in the
neighbourhood were desirous of being consistent, to
say the least, and in some places salutes were fired
from miniature artillery; bonfires were lighted, and
houses were decorated with flags in order to show
that what they did in 1863 they really intended as
an expression of their feelings. We feel confident
that this omission was an oversight on the part of
the citizens of Salisbury, who, we as. sore, would
not sacrifice that character for loyalty which they
have held from time immemorial.
RAR• AVUS.—Mr. Wapshare, cabinet maker, of
Castle-street, has now in his possession two eggs
which were deposited in the garden at the back of
his residence by a tortoise. They are about the size
of a bantam's egg, with this peculiarity, that they
are of true oval shape. Mr. Witpehare has bad the
tortoise about eighteen months, and the most
singular part of the matter is, that it has not par.
taken of any food for the lust four months.
SINGULAR AOCIDENT.---On Tuesday afternoon, as
the Rev. Wardhill was driving his pony and
carriage under the railway bridge, Fisberton, a
pausing engine started the animal, which bolted off
in the direction of Salisbury at • tremendous pros.
It being market-day, there were • great number of
vehicles in the street, but it reached the first bridge
in safety. Immediately after it had prised Mr.
Atkins's, painter, Pitherton, the pony came into
collision with a cow, which it knocked down. The
phaeton was turned over, and its occupants, a lady
and Mr. Wardhill, thrown out. The lady, fortunately,
alighted upon the cow, and did not receive any
serious irijuries, and Mr. Wardbill escaped with •
few Innate. The pony and carriage was not mach
damaged, but the cow remained in an insensible
state for some time. The cow belonged to Mr.
Seymour, dealer, of Shaftesbury.
ACCIDENT •T THE MARIERT-110USR.- -The farmers
and dealers in the Market-house on Tuesday were
startled, about two o'clock, by • loud noise as if the
roof was falling in. The alarm was very great, but
on examination it was found that two of the joists
of the gallery on the south side ef the Market-house
had given way. These were supported by iron
girders, which prevented the corn stored above
from felling through. The quantity of corn stored at
the spot was not very great, about 160 sacks of barley,
and no danger was apprehended. After the report
there was en immediate rush to the gates, but when
the cause had been ascertained the corn was removed
to another part of the building, sad all further
danger averted. Some 18 months since, loose corn
was pitched at this spot, and one of the joists
creaked, but sums then it has borne the weight
deposited upon it. Questions are naturally now bang
put as to the strength of the building, and why
deal joists should have been fixed where greet weight
would have to be sustained. There does appear to
have been some error in judgment in this matter,
and it will be well for the directors to place addi-
lions' supports in other puts of the building to
prevent a recurrence of such an accident

Fortunately there was now lam canoe for regret. It
appears that 000 of the engines of the Metropolitan
Railway (Mosquito) was attached to the train, and
the driver, • man named Roffey, was unable to bring
it up a: the ticket platform about 100 yards from
the station, notwithstanding that steam was ORO• off
as usual at the cutting past the Skew Bridge. The
breaks would not set properly, and consequently the
train ran into the station, sod pasung over the
stops., the engine was lifted on to the platform, :
smashing a guard rail, and a cylinder cock.
The train was composed of four carriages, but owing
to the slow rate at which the engine was going, the
whole of the pmeengers escaped with only a slight
shaking. Had there been a distance of soother ten
yards the driver would probably have been enabled
to stop the engine. A small portion of the platform
had to be cut away to release the engine, but every-
thing was clear in the course of two hours. Neither
of the carriages left the metals.

STAVERTON.—The immense pile of buildings
formerly occupied as a woollen cloth factory, which has
been for some Sate pest unoccupied, has bees purchased
by a limited liability company, entitled, "The West of

capital of ClOO,OOO, with which to establish works for
the purpose of manufacturing various dercriptices of
woollen fabrics by the proem of felting, without the

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE, AND LATEST
STATE OF THE MARKET.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
BY EXPRESS & ELECTRIC TELEGRAPB.

*MIK LANZ. Monday, March 21.—The =pp'y of
grain fresh up this morning was moderate. Foreign
wSS more abundant. Prices, however, are about the
earns as last week. Fine malting barley, sad mite in
good condition, are in better request than last Monday,
and fetch 61. more. Other things are unaltered in
price.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARIE?, Monday, March 21.
—The supply of stock at today's market was better
thee of late, and the general oondition much improved.
Priced were rather in favor of buyers. The best Seats,
however, and the beet Southdawns maintain late
prices Se to fiv. per stone. Veal and pork were 2d.
per stone cheaper than laat week.

CORN 11111RILITS.
MARK LAX,. Friday.—Fresh ap to our market to.
day the arrivals of English wheat were small. Both
red sod white qualitita met, however, a slow sale, at
Monday's currency. With foreign wheat the market
was bat moderately supplied; the transactions were,
for the most of retail character ; nevertheless, priou
ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in but
moderate ',quest, at late rates. The supply of barley
on the stands was moderately large. Bales, generally
speaking, progressed slowly, yet priests ruled stationary.
Malt sold slowly at late rates. The supply of oats on
sale vu somewhat extensive. The trade was dull fir
all qualities, and prima had a downward tendency. For
beans and peas the trade was in a aluggish state, at
fully the late decline in the currency. Flour changed
bands to • limited extent, at late rates.
Ygovit., Friday.—At our Corn Exchange there was s
good supply of wheat, which barely maintained the
rates of last week. Barley plenty, and • very dull
trade; inferior sorts Is. per qr. cheaper. Beans and
oats firm. There were on offer 380 beasts, 580 sheep,
and 200 pigs. Sale good. Bacon, 614. ; American, 31
to 44. per lb. ; best cheese, 60s. to Ma ; household
ditto, 2fts. to 38s. per cwt. Flax, E 6 sa. to ES 16a. per
pack.
Wameinmeg, Saturday, March 19.—Wheat, 345. to
435. (last week, 345. to 43..)—Barley. 26e. to 365. (last
week, 16.. to 36a.)—Osta, 18e. to 26.. (last week, ilk
to 281.)—Base., 38a. to 50s. (last week, 38e. to 504.)-
81b. loaf, 104. There was a good supply of wheal.
which *obi readily at a trifling advanoe. Barley was in
great demand, chiefly for seed, and prices firm. Oats
and beans &quick sale.
BRISTOL, Thursday. —At this market there was a
moderate sopply of English wheat, which found boysn
at the rates of this day se'nuight ; in foreign inanely
anything was doing. quotations being unaltered. Barley
without change, the demand being extremely limited.
Arrivals of oats heavy, prices hays given way fully 6d
per qr.; good Irish black was not salesble at over 16e 64
per 304 lb. Beans and Indian corn without variation.
Inv mrs, Friday.—This market evinced • decided
impmvsnient in the extent of busiuess transacted, the
wheat trade being brisk at fully last week's rates, and
In POMO caws at a alight advance, though not quotable
Barley ICU also in good demand, beat qualities realising
fully last week's rates, and a trifling improvement in
the demand for middling and inferior samples.

CATTLE MARKETS.
METROPOLITAN, Thursday.—Tbe supply of beast
this morning was somewhat larger than last Thursday
but notwithstanding that the weather was favourable
the trade ruled aloe; prices, however, were no worse
than on Monday, the best being worth ss. and fn. 2.1.
per stone. There were plenty of cheep at market, but
a ocarcrity of good ones. For the best there ease ready
demand, and priers were fully maintained. There
was not the same inquiry for inferior qualities. The
lamb seeeon will fairly begin Friday. There were a few
here to-day, and they met with some demarid at from to to
ts. 4.1. per atone. We had more calves this morning,
but CROIO, C.RER were scarce; they sonsequeotly again
sold dear, prime English ones making 54. 64. and Se. Bd.
per stone. Pigs do not excite much attention, and
prices are drooping.
Baiseox, Thurailay.—The supply of beef at our
market wee much shorter then last week, and the
quality was good; but trade was dull, and it was some-
time before the stalls were cleared. Best descriptions
realised from 659 to &Ai, and asmondary from 60e to 63s
per net. The supply of sheep was also short with very
little alteration in prices. Best wethers in the wool
mold for tip, and out of the wool at from 6id
to 711 per lb. Owing to the little demand for store
cattle, ant the higher prices which have to be
given for them in Ireland, there was scarcely any in
the market, the few brought to hand having been left
over from bat Thursday. A fair supply of pigs, and an
improvement in inioes, porkers milling at from 9s 34 to
and bunion pigs at from Si 9.1 to 9s. An unusually
large supply of mileh cows, which met with a heavy
trade. Notwithstanding a very free inquiry, holden
found It difficult to maintain lat. currencies. A 6r/t-
-rims show of cart horses and mares, and business showed
k decided improvement; indeed, we do not remember
seeing such a show of valuabh horses here except at the
half-yearly fairr.

Al the door of a stable, where 13 bodies were kid,
people in search of relatives became angry because
the police refused to allow them to go in. In the course
of the morning many had entered who had lost relatives,
but none were recognised; and so great was the terror
of Owe who had pressed in, that it became absolutely
nee-vary to close the doors against all. The police
were unable to protect all the places that inquired
attention. There were houses broken open, the turn!'
knee Icing in heaps, and the inmates drowned.

The curious case of abstraction of half a million's
worth of banknotes from the Government Bank at
Warsaw, of which £27,000 worth were offered for ex-
change in this country, and have been detained by the
agent of the Rosaian Government, was again before the
magistrates at Guildhall on Saturday. TwO foreigners,
Mr. Foerster and Mr. Heruiscx, were charged, on • joint
summons, with having unlawful posseaaion of the notes,
and the came was fully opened on the pert of the Russian
Government; but, as it appeared that the offence was
committed under a foreign jurisdiction, and further
that an action wu depending an the Court of Queen's

court, and disinissed the summons.
VOLUATIVIR NIGHT Arracx.—At eight o'clock on
Saturday evecing next, the town of Faversham, in
Kent, will present an unusually warlike aspect. A
