A singular case under the Truck Act was heard
in the Sheffield County Court yesterday. A firm of fender
manufacturers sought to recover a sum of money for goods
supplied to their late foreman, who had been also a „work.
man or artificer." The defence wee that the defendant, ma
well as others, were obliged to purchase goods from their
masters, as the memo of retaining their situations, the
111130Ulli of the goods being kept off their weekly
wages. The judge held that this brought the case under
the Truck Act, which enacts "that no employer of any
artificer in the trades miumerated should be entitled to
maintain soy action or suit against any sash artificer,"
" for or in respect of any goods sold or delivered to him at
any Amp or warehouse kept by such employer, or in the
profits of which such employer had a share." Judgment
was given for the defendant, without costs.

CHILD MURDER NEAR HA RTLEPOOL —A u ad-
journed inquest was held yesterday at Maiden Grange, •
wilier, village on the Hartlepool mid Ferrykill Railway,
before Mr. Maynard. coroner, on the body of a newly-born
West, which had apparently come to its death by
unfair means. Margaret Union, • married woman, about
forty yo' of age, residing at Triludon Colliery, with
three sons, but whose husband has for the lam five years
been in Australia. was in custody on suspicion of being the
murderess. J. Ferguson, a miser, said he and two moo,
named Taylor and Whitehead. were going along • foot-
path through some fields leading from Trindon Grange to East
Hettno on the 10th inst., when • dog attracted their atteu-
' lion to a box which was is • field at the other side of the
I hedge. They entwined thebox, and found the body of an
iufaut.—Mr. SP Arthur, maintaist to Mr. Morrison. surgeon,
gave evidence as to the appearances of the body as pre-
i tented on a post mortem examioatiou. The body wan that
of a full grows child, and was in • state of decomposition.
The child had been born alive, and from appearances it
' bad been placed alive in the box, and the violence to the
head bad been caused by • laud or mallet. It had apps. j
'Qtly been in the box several weeks—John Merriam
M.D.. said he had examined the child and toned that the
jaw had bees broken in two places. He was of opinion that
1 the child had been placed in the box in a living Mate, and
bad been born about two weeks. Margaret Cozen, be had
I meson to believe, had recently been delivered of a child,
but he was unable to say positively. Other witnesses

He replied, •' I'll see about the proof afterwards." On
marching the house be found • piece of paper similar to that I
on the box in which the child was found, and a bandbox ,
similarly covered. The prisoner was then asked by the
coroner if she had anything bay, she replied, "Nothing ; I

MONEY MAREET.-(TBIS DAY.)

Two o'Clooi.

The stock markets to-day are dull, and the
general tone is rather flat, owing to a few sales
being pressed at a time when business
is very inactive. The decline is chiefly
observable in home railway stocks and in the
Confederate Loan. Other foreign stacks are not
much affected. The fortnightly settlement is to-
day in course of completion. The funds have
suffered to the extent of per cent.
There is a strong demand for money to-day, and
the supply is smaller. No transactions are reported
in the best bills below 6 per cent. In the Stock
Exchangejthe rate for short loans on home govern-
ment stocks is firm, at 6 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
65fr. 63c., being fully II per cent, better than yes-
terday.

money, and 894 to „, ex div., for the account (Jan.

After the recognised hours yesterday afternoon
London and North Western Railway stock rose to
1224 to 123, owing to the large increase of traffic
shown in the weekly return.

Dialers. Baring Brothers and Co. bare announced
the dividend, due the Ist Jan., on the 31exicau
Three per Cent. Consolidated Bonds. and on the
Three per Cent. Bonds issued for arrears of interest
on the old debt.

vertised the dividend due the let January on the
Turkish Loans of 1862 and 1863.

of the last return, while the amount withdrawn for
export has been 162,0001., all for Alexandria.
The Hansa, from New York, has brought 40,0001.
in specie for England.

A;lvices from -Stockholm announce the failure of
Messrs. Johan Holm and Co. general merchants
and shipowners, with heavy liabilities. It is anti-
cipated that the estate will not produce a satisfactory
dividend. The transactions of the house hare been
upon a large scale, and its suspension is stated to
have arisen through the purchase of too many ships.
The accounts from the same quarter also refer to the
difficultiesof the Yanto Sugar Refining Company,
but an attempt was being made to carry out an
arrangement with the creditors. The liabilities are
estimated at about 300,0001.
