THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1852.

cf the trustees, to which the defendaat is a party. The deed j
was also executed by Mr. Lloyd on the 9th of April, PAIL
1 beard that he was a bill discounter. I was concerned for
dim. The draft of the marriage settlement was read over
to the lady before it wee engrossed.
Creseexamined by Mr. Hallantine—l believe there is a !
I power reserved under the deed of settlement to appoiut the
whole of the prisperty. If Mrs. Lloyd exercised the power '
of appointment I believe that more then 7001. or 8001.
might be realised. It meld not be raised without my
knowledge. I am not aware that anything hes been done
under this. I refined to give lap the deed to Mr. Lloyd
without the comma of trustees, sad I advised them not to
consent to give it up.
Sir Peter Laurie—l shall give my opinion upon this mat-
ter on another day.
Mr. JBalbuttine said there was not the least scintilla of
evidence to support the charge against his client
of having obtained the money under false pre-
tences, sad that such en accusation deserved and
would receive in any court nothing but laughter and con-
tempt. He was anxious that the decision should be given
at once, in order that the character of the lady might net be
for a moment prejudiced, and that the honour of the justice-
room might not be compromised into the questionable re-
putation of a City Court of Chancery. It was not to be cre-
dited that a gentleman of Mr. Flight's well known tact and
experience in money transactions was likely to be deceived
in dealing with an old lady, who was labouring under the
painful excitement caused by the calamity which had be-
fallen her hustend. It was not likely that Mr. Flight
was impelled by his humanity to overlook the con-
tents of the document placed in his hands as security far the
payment of the money be advanced. The idea of attributing
anything like the sentiment he described to the complainant
was, as must be known to every body, immeasurably absurd.
No. Mr. Flight was not the sort of lad to be taken in and
Added with where money was concerned. What ground
was there for supposing that Mn. Loyd had used a false
pretence ? Her hu‘brad was in an extremity, and what
was more natural than that the wife should say to Mr,
Flight that she would give him ample security ? That
statement went for nothing. It was in the power of the
complainant, by an examination of the document, to nicer-
trtin the stability or instability of his security. The lady
did not slimly the money she neeived to her own purposes.
She took her husband out of prison, and she showed all her
deeds to Mr. Jones, and the evidence of Mr. Lefroy showed
that the value had not been exaggerated. It was in Mr.
Flight's power to question the matter long since, but being
an experienced money lender, he waited to avail himself of
the chances which might turn up, and now finding that he
must come in merely for a share with the other, creditors,
he was determined to try his skill by a criminal emu-
edition.
Sir Peter Laurie said that, if Mrs. Lloyd had no know-
ledge that she had not the power of disposing of the pro-
perty which she handed over to Mr. Flight, it could nut
be mid that she had any intention to commit fraud. Ile
would, under the circumstances, take time to consider the
evidence, and in a day or two would give his opinion. la
the meantime, the lady would he at liberty, without enter-
ing into bail, upon her promise to appear when her appear-
ance should be considered necessary.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

Robert Norris, driver of the cab No. 1,510, and llenry
Wilcox, were brought before Mr. Bingham on the following
serious charge :
Louisa Craig, a sempetress, residing at 26, Union-street,
said, about half-past 11 last night she gut into the prisoner
Norris's cab, in Oxford-street, and told him to drive her to
Newton street, Foley-place. As soon as she entered the
cab the prisoner Norris to d Wilcox to get on the box and
drive, and he himselfjumps d into the vehicle, and attempted
to violate: her person. She screamed as loud as she could;
but the more she screamed the faster Wilcox drove. Norris
Mon, in spite of her resistance, succeeded in effecting his
IWsct. ller screams at length attracted the attention of
SO= people, who stopped the cab, and rescued her from the
Itira clutches.
epty to Mr. Headly, the chief clerk, the proseeutrix
ainithml having been familiar with other men, but re-
that that was no reason why she should be violently
aszr against her will.

ain lopped the cab and she got out. A constable
laTitat moment cams up and Norris was given in chugs.
The tamale was mash agitated at the time. Wilcox ran off
as het as he could.
To.he issmatable 131 C said be took Norris into custody.
Wilco: got away, but was taken into custody about two
bows afterwards.
Norris, in defence, said he had been drinking with prose-
marl:, who asked biro to drive her home. She subsequently
'lolled him into the cab, and was a consenting party to the
trausaction complained of.
Wilcox denied all knowledge of the matter; he was not
with the (abet all. He merely went loth° station to fetch
the cab, when he was given in charge. It. added, that be
said king forward a witness to prove he was elsewhere at
the time.
Kr. Bingham asked the officer if he was positive Wilcox

MARKETS.

SUGAR.—The average price of Sager, the produce of
the British poem:Woos in America, computed from the re-
hires made in the week ending the Bth June, 1862, is
235. Md. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, is 21s. bid.
Sugar, the produos of the East Indies 235. 3d. Um
avenge pries of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 235. tifd.

Bunrrot, JUNE 11.
Bus/A.—There still exists en ezeelli at demand for all
descriptions of raw sugars, but the unwillingness of holders
to mall*e their stocks at the present currency, has the
effect of keeping the market very barn of samples, and the
business of the week is coesiquently but limited in amount.
The retitled market continues firm, with a steady demand.
Fur Run there has been more inquiry this week, and
some few transactions are reported, which do not, however,
alter former quotations.

COTTON.-I.avitnroot., Arms 11.—Ws continue to
have a large and active inquiry for all descriptions of cot-
ton, and in consequence, since our last, have to raise our
quotations ed. per lb. on all descriptions of American.
" Fair " Uplands, from their present scarcity, are id. per
lb. higher, the committee of brokers placing fair Uplands
at 50., Mobile 50., and Orleans at cp. per lb. 19,350
American, 1,360 Surat, 260 Egyptian, 130 Maranhsm, 200
Bahia, and 370 Pernam are reported w have been taken on
ispeculation. Sales for the week, 69,010.

WOOL—T.IIns, JCNE 11.—A good average business
has this week been done in foreign and colonial wools, but
chiefly on account of manufacturers for immediate con-
sumption. Prices are well maintained, and without deriving
support from speculative purchasers.
LIVISSPOOL, Jests 11.—The public sales, on the 9th inst.,
brought downs great many buyers, and a fair extent of
business has been dune this week, and for most descriptions
at improved rate*. The market is left very bare of stock,
with very little expected for the moment.

CORN.—CHILMSFORD, June 11.—There has been same
heayy rains, which must have beaten down the thiek plants
of Wheat, but hopes are entertained that no material injury
has been done to the crops should fine weather follow. Our
market to-day was well attended, with a fair show of Wheat;
white was held firmly, and last weeks prices were supported ;
red rather gave way, and could be bought on rather easier
terms, say 40s. to 415.; white, 455. to 475.; extra, 45..
Beans rather easier buying.
LitteoLg, June 11.—We have been well supplied with
Wheat from the farmers to-day, and the demand being good
a clearance was made at last week's prices. Nothing doing
in Barley. Very few Oats or Beans offering, and (lenient'
limited, prices remaining the name. Wheat, red, 40.. to
41r. • white, 445. to 465. Beans, 32.. to 335. Oats, 21e.
to 21.

LIVERPOOL, Juno 11.-We have had very few arrival'
into this port, either coastwise or from Ireland, since Mon-
day last, and those from abroad are comparatively small, as
will be observed on reference to our import note below ; the
exports at the same time being moderate in amount. The
copious rains which hare recently fallen so generally in
this country and Ireland, appear to have removed all com-
plaints occasioned by the long continued drought previously,
which is especially the case here, each day during the pre-
sent week having been extremely wet, and dry hot weather
is now only requisite to force the crops rapidly onward until
harvest. Meanwhile the aspect nt abundance serves to
check any active or extensive operations in the corn trade ;
and although in the absence of any large importations tom
abroad, or excessive deliveries from the growers, the British
and Irish markets are kept moderately steady as to values,
yet buyers still limit their proceedings in accordance with
their immediate requirements, and for the moment
higher prices are consequently unfeasible. Influenced
by the causes expressed in the loregoing remarks,
we had very little business passing in any branch of the
trade here during the period between Tuesday and to-day.
This morning's market was, however, tolerably well
attended, and a fair business transacted, chiefly in the finer
descriptions of white and yellow Wheat', as well as Egyp-
tian, et the currency of Tuesday last. Extra brands of
Inoue fully supported late prices, end it was difficult to buy
any description at lower rates, the general demand being
i rather improved to-day. Barley, though in limited request,
was steady in value, and Beans, upon a moderate sale,
firmly maintained their value. In Malt and Peas no varia-
tion. Oats and Oatmeal were in very slow request, and, to
have made progress in sales, rather lees money must have
been conceded. Few buyers of Indian Corn appeared, and
their transactions were of limited amount, without altera-
tion in prices. Several sales afloat are reported through
the week, but to-day none Gave transpired. Arrivals into
Liverpool and Runcorn from the Ath to the 10th June in-
clusive :-Wheat, 1,300 qrs. ; Barley, 50 ; Malt, 272 ; Oats,
2,230; Peas, 13; Indian Cora, 3010; Oatmeal, 1,116;

qrs.; Indian Corn, 2,795; Oatmeal, 600 sacks; Flour, 427
sacks and 1,460 barrels.
WAILIFIRLD. June 11.-Oar arrival of Wheat is large
for this day's market ; the trade, nevertheless, is tolerably
finn, and it is only in paztial instances where any reduction
has taken place from the rates of last week. Barley nomi •
trolly the same. Oats and Shelling are steady. Beans
without alteration, and very little passing in other articles.
