ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—CIoypox, Avousr 24.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell aml a Special Jury.)
. LEFTWICH r. SMTTH.

This was an action to recover damages from the defendant
for having made false and fraudulent representations with re-
gard to the Inuiotaa of &public-6°in*, whereby it was alleged •
that the plaintiff had bees induced to give a much larger
sum for it than it was really worth.
Mr. Lush, Q.c., &leant Salentine, and Mr. Talfourd
Salter were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers,
Q.C. and Sir G. Hooyman were for the defendant.
This cause commenced on Saturday, and occupied nearly
the whole of to-day, but the details were not of the
slightest interest to the public. The house in question was
the Black Horse, Tower-bill, a sailors' house, and it appeared
that the defendant had purchased the premises in 1858, and
the old house was pulled down and a much larger and more
commodious one erected in its stead. He was desirous to let
it in 1860, bat nothing was done at that time, and in 1862
the present plaintiff was desirous to purchase the property,
and eventually did so, and paid 5,7501. for the goodwill, lease,
Ac. According to the case for the plaintiff the defendant re-
presented
that his takings were considerably over 4.000/. per
annum, and he also represented that more than 1501. a year •
was received from the billiard.room and the letting of beds. I
It appeared, however, from the evidence of the plaintiff and
his witnesses, that the supposed receipts had been very
much exaggerated, and that during a period of eight
months the average amount par month was not more then
2401. A great many witnesses were called is support of
the plaintiff's case, and it wee proved that he had conducted
the business in a most respectable manner, and that, not-
withstanding all his exertion*, the result was as above
stated. He, therefore, claimed damages from the defen-
dant for having, as was alleged, induced him to part with
his money by representations as to the amount of the
business that was carried on, which he must have
known to be false.
. .

Mr. Chambers, on behalf of the defendant, endeavoured
to show that no fraud had been practised by him, and that
the unprofitable result that bad been arrived at was pertly
owing to the plaintiff having changed hie brewer, distiller,
and other tradesmen, and to hi having conducted the how;
in a manner that was not suited to the neighbourhood.
The defendant and Lis wife were examined, and they de-
nied is the most positive manner that any fraudulent repro
metations as to the amount of the Wilhite' had been mid.
to the plaintiff. Tbey both swore that the amount they
represented was actually received every month, and they
produced a book which purported to contain an eatery of
every day's takings, and they declared that every entry wee
correct. and made at the Inns it was represented to have
taken place. This book appeared to be materially relied
upon by the defendant in support of his cue, and he sod his
wife were subjected to a rigid croassixannaation by Mr.
&clout Ballanties with reference to some of the items that
wave contained in it, and he succeeded in pointing out one
or two rather remarkable discrepancies in some of the
entries.

..."1.117111 %Unwell, in eammiag up, briefly explained the
"attire of the action, and said the jury would of cowne I
understand that oo one was entitled to ask for daemon
bemuse it might turn out that be had made a bed bargain,
or that the result of the transaction in which be bad parted
with bin money proved unfortunate. The only question
they had to consider was whether it bad been made out to
their satisfaction that the defendant had induced the plaintiff
to take this business by false representations as to the
amount of the takings. They had beard the defendant's
evidence upon this point, and if they believed the book that
bad been prodneed really motained panine entries, it world'
appear to establish his case, and be was afraid that if they
should come to the conclusion that the plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict, they could only do so upon the supposition
that this book had been manufactured for the purpose of
amwering the present action.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
for the plaiotiff —damages, 1,1501.
There was some 'podiw in the court when the verdict
was delivered.

184 acres per head of the population. The amount of land
enclosed is about four-fifths of the amount purchased.
The pastoral tenure extending to fourteen years, there is •
nameable inducement to fence, and this improvement ap-
pears to take place principally where large squatters have
purchased large portions of their rues. In the south.
eastern district, bordering on Victoria, there are nearly
800,000 acres enclosed by the squatter., but only 250,100
acres of this are purchased land, and not more than 10,000
acres are under cultivation. The land is rich, and there are

proceeded to the extent of 231,000 acres, of which nearly
the whole was for pastoral purposes, not above 8,000 acres

HUSPICTBDMITRDER.—An inquiry wan opened on

from Newton, by F. B. Coming, Seq., corour of the die.
trict, touching the death of John Mews, aged 31, whose body
was found in the water in the marshes at Teigiabridge, on
Friday. The coroner said that the case they was met to
inquire into was likely to be an important cue. It would
seem by the appearance of the body that the deceased had
been meet violently assaulted sad injured before death.
He therefore considered it consistent with his duty that such
'serious inquiry should be adjourned for a few days, in
order that the police, who be understood were in posses-
! don of some important facia respecting the death of the
deceased, should make the fullest iequiries into the

next. Mr. Hillard, surgeon, of Newton, who was in attend-
ance, was requested, with the aseistence of another medical
man, to make a post etcetera examination of the body in the
meantime. The jury then proceeded to view the body,
and the place where the deceased was found, which is
about a mile from the ion. The deceased, who was a mar-
ried man, was a motive of Ashburtos, and was employed as a

tended the Newton races on the evening of Thursday, the
1301 indent, in corm:may with a fellow-werkman named
Coleman, and the last time his was seen alive waists late
hour on the night in question. The place where the

i bridge, on the old Exeter road from Newton.
.Oa each aide of the bridge are marshes, but
there are no paths through them. The parapet of the
bridge is 4 feet high from the road ; from the coping of
the wall to the water is about 14 feet. It would seem,
from the position in which the deceased was found, that he
must have either climbed, fallen, or been thrown over the
wall. On Wednesday the deessiaed's asp was found by a led
named Trust in ooze of the marshes adjoining the road. rad

were marks when the cep was found as of a severe struggle

the Cricketers' Tavern, Old Ford-road. Robert Rummell, the
lock-keeper, said that he was got out in 25 minutes after im-

FATAL ACCIDENTS WHILE BATHING IN THE GRAND
SMUT CANAL.—On Sunday ahem:am at four o'clock, two
yearn( mea (cousins) met their death by bathing in this
mad. Notwithstanding the notices againet such practices,
two young men named George Jones and William Jones,
ages respectively 19 and 21, persisted in stripping on the
bank near the Glengall-bridge, and plunging in the water.
They bad scarcely reached the opposite hank, when one of the
othcen, whose duty it is to range the basks, appeared, and
William Jones attempted to recrces and dress before the
officer came up. and in hastening to swim acmes we,
seized with cramp. His cousin, George Joule, immediately
plunged in to his assistance, but had so 110011111 reached him,
than he was clutched by the drowning man, sad is the
death struggle both sank to the bottom, and not withstand.
ing the crowd of oe-lookers, no immediate assistance was
rendered, and on the son-appearance of the men at the
surface the dregs were fetched and the bodies recovered.
Both were of course dead.

Yesterday morning no accident happened to the 7.16 a.m.
express from Birmingham to Paddington, on the Grist
Western Railway. Whilet raining at full speed between
Hatton and Warwick, the hind axle of the engine snapped,
and one of the wheals flew off. The driver, feeling the
jerk, immediately applied the break, but was unable to
bring the than up until it bad run upwards of two miles.
The engine left the metal at the womaut of stoppage. but
fortunately the carriageskept the line, sad the whole of
the passengers escaped without the slightest injury. Had
the accident occurred upon the narrow gauge the mum,
quences would have been most serious, as the escape of the
train is wholly owing to the remaining wheel of the broken
axle gliding along the longitudinal sleepers which are used
by the Great Western instead of the ordinary transverse
ones. _

THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
--4,--,--
(From tb. Mark-lane Expreu.)

• - -
The change to colder weather, with a little rain,
though still useful to the gatherinp in the southern paste
of the kingdom, hoe somewhat delayed the northern harvest
where the corn wanted ripening. With so large an instal.
meat safe, some warm rain would be a great benefit to the
grass lands and roots ; and this is now becoming a serious
want in many parts of Barone, especially for the crop of
lodise corn in Italy, Hungary, and the Principalities. The
sudden appearance of samples of the fine new crop in many
markets has this week materially affer:ted prices—aay on an
average 3s. per qr. ; and when the quality of the wheat
is considered, this is an immense benefit to the country.
Report* are more and more cosfirmatory that we have
' much beyond an average both in yield as well as quality ;
and io very navy instances but year's poor return, hero
been doubled. The country, therefore, as well as the
farmer, has to be congratulated ; and if the prices in some
foreign porta keep a little longer at their present gunge, we
may be able to give them a turn in the way of export, with-
out fear es to the flour produced by British samples. Poli-
tically, too, in these martial times, it is as well to have a
good store of breadstuff'. as well as powder, not only to
feed the • n, but to keep the cash more at home.
France r the near couutriee are still gradually declining ;
but Danzig, from failures at home and fulness abroad. con-
sents to abandon • crown per quarter, without restricting
the decline. At New York there is a moderate tendency
that way ; and it is to be hoped that, for the rake of anent..
ing the custom of the South for breadstuff@ (likely to be in-
creasingly heavy), the military method of maldng* brotherly
arrangement will be abandoned.
The arrival' off the coast since the 14th inetaat.were 104
cargoes, of which 42 airgom were wheat, 88 maize, and 2
barley. The prime paid, we asfollows :--Gbirks wheat,
38s. to 38a. 7 ; American red, 375. to 41a. 9d. • amber,
40s. to 42a. 6,& ; white, 46e. ; maize, 28s. to 28e. 3d. per qr.

The sales muted last week were 66,189 qrs. wheat, at
45e. 11d., apart 46,725 qrs. is 1862. The Leedom avenges
wore 48e. 9d. oil 2,510 qrs. The imports Into the kmeom
for the week ending 15th of August were 175,246 qrs. wheat,
139,219 ewt. dour.

The Leaden market on Moeday opened with fair arrivals
of English and a moderate supply of foreign wheat. There
was a good show of caw this morning ou the Emu and
Kentish stands, though very little old. The coetianance of
fine weather made millers extremely reserved, though a re-
duction of 3s. to 4s. wu &scripted on new qualities of white,
and 2s. per qr. on red, and much remained unsold. Old was
quite neglected, and the little business passing in foreign
was done at Is. to Is. per qr. less money. Cargoes
afloat were slowly placed at lc per qr. decline. On Wed-
nesday there were 340 qes. per coast and 7,710 qrs. foreign.
Some progress was this day made in the coverlets samples of
Monday at the previous rates, chiefly in new samples. Bales
remained vary limited in foreign qualities, at about the
same prams. Friday's return, were 1,150 par rout, and
27,810 qrs. foreign. With few fresh sam of English au
show business was slow, fine weather still ruling, 'but the
prices both of English ad foreign ware much the rune as
at the beginning of the week.
There was a moderate show of estuary flout on Monday,
though plenty from America. Barium" was very dull, and
Norfolk' were Is. per sack lower. Little was done in bu-
n* though holders were willing to take 6d. per bd. rtelnc•
tioo. The top price of town•made was reduced at the clue
of the market from 475. to 43e. per sack, it having been quite
nominal before. On Wednesday there were 230 sacks per
coast, 70eacks, 14,340 brim. foreign. Vary little was doing,
but no change of value could be noted either in country.
made or foreign samples. The previous reduction on town-
made was confirmed. Friday's returns were 340 sacks coast-
wise, 70 sacks 18,920 brie- foreign. This was again a quiet
day both for Norfolk' and American barrels, the heavy
arrivals having some influence.
-

Very little barley, either British or foreign, was reported
on Monday. Some of the new malting appeared of better
quality, though little was doing io those sorts. Medium and
low foreign sold slowly, at about the previous currency. On
Wednesday there were 170 qrs. per easel, 3,010 qrs. foreign.
A quiet trade then obtained in all qualities, both English
and foreign, at unaltered quotations. Friday's quantities per
coast were 170 qrs., with 3,520 qrs. foreign. Thom was thou
no quotable change either as to values or the state of
business.

The malt trade remained very quiet, but quotations were
much the same. No alteration subsequently took place.
There was a large foreign arrival of oats on Monday, with
much improved supplies of home-growth, as well as from
Scotland and Ireland The trade ruled very dull, and gave
way 6d. per qr, on all qualities, slots especially on light
Marian, which were premed on the market to save the ex-
pense of landing. Cargoes out of order sold at irregular
prices. Os Wednesday there were no arrivals per coast,
780 cps Irish, and 6,850 qrs. foreign. Though the supply
was sot heavy, there was very little peening 1111 the trade,
dealers being mostly well is stock. On Friday there were
10 qrs. per coast, 780 qrs. Irish, and 14,130 qrs. foreign.
Prior then continued much on the Berne Kele both for
those of home growth and the foreign arrivals ; but business
was slow.

There was but a moderate show of homegrown beans on
Monday. though the foreign arrivals were fair. Holders
were asking rather more for choice qualities, but only about
the same prices were realised both for English and foreign.
The week flinched with prier much the same as at the
commenoement. _ _

The supply of peu was altogether moderate. With the
usual slow demand of the season, prises of all deseriptioos
wereimuch the same. Friday was a dull day, without alters.
tion of values.

The linseed supply was moderate, and prices firm both
for seed and cake. Bates were fully supported at the I
close of the week. Ckiverseed was less inquired for on
foreign account. Trefoil was steady as to value, as well as
fine canaryseed. The few new winter tares showing are not
very fine, and as yet attract but few buyers; 7s. 6d. per
bushel being mired.
The harvest being finished in some places, and only
commencing in others, many markets also being small,
exoepting in the southern counties, where fair quantities
of new were exhibited, the accounts must necessarily he
irregular as to values, but in general it may be stated all
were lower; where only old was on show it wan down fully
Is, per qr., and where new appeared in quantity it was 2s.
to 3s. per qr. down.
Liverpool, oe Tuesday, made no change from the previous
day's rates for wheat or other grain. Mixed maize was sold
at 265. 6d. per qr., and white at 295. On Friday wheat was
Id. per rental cheaper, and maize the turn in favour of
buyers.
Spring corn was generally quoted as on the previous
week.

-The Scotch harvest was commencing very favourably,
the new barley exhibited being very fine. Edinburgh was
unaltered as to prices, but Glasgow was cheaper.
Though they have bad some rain In Ireland, harvest was
going on well, and over one-third of the crops in the south
may be considered safe. Dublin was 6cl. per brl. lower for
wheat. Flour was down Is. per sack, and maize was rather
easier, though there was some hilliness in floating cargos of
wheat and maize at about former rates. Very little was
doing at Cork, excepting in new oats.
The Paris Roar market during the past week has continued
dull, and declining prices, being nominally 64 to 56 francs
per 157 kilos. (equal to 35a. to 365. 3d. per 280168. English).
The mix marks for the current month were 641. 50c. per 157
kilos. (355. 3d. per Mlbs.), and for September 1 franc lemo-
ny Bd. per sack. Type Paris 34f. 75c. per 100 kilos. (Me.
per 28011 a.), and for four months from November 32f. (325.
per 2801baj. Wheat was also lower ; old only went off occa-
sionally at 26f. 50c. to 28f. per 120 kilos. (41s. to 435. per
qr.), for mixing new 27f. to 31f. per 120 kilos. (41s. fel to 475.
6d. per qr.,) but millers, though shortly provided, were very
hesitating buyers. Transactions in new rye were taking place
at from llf. 85e. to 12f. 180. per beet. (275. 6d. to 2so. Gd.
per qr.), new Bourgogne barley sold at 12f. 671. per beet.
(295. Hd. per qr.), new Towable at Ilf. 74e. per beet.
(275. 3d.) Oats, though still held at high rates-say 18
francs per 100 kilos. for choice De Brie (21a. per qr.) - were
offered more plentifully, and apparently cheaper to sell.
Trifolium inearnatom continued to sell pretty well, at from
5Gf. to 588. per bale. Rapeseed went off rather freely, at
42f. to 42f. 50c. per 100 kilos. Some of the country
markets seem to have shout reached their lowest for wheat.
Hondas, with a good supply, was 9d. per qr. dearer, but
Marla was dqwn 2s. 4d. per qr. Marseilles and Bordeaux
have for some time been remarkably steady. Lille was with-
out change. Nice sod Roy' were down 3m. 6d. per qr.
Most of the supplies io Belgium consisted of new wheat,
and the little old offering was much neglected. Wheat at
Antwerp was 2s. per qr. cheaper, the late quantities prem.

Liege were down 2s. Gd. peryr. hale was much wanted.
A decline was making way in Holland. Wheat at Maas-
tricht was fully la. 6d. per qr. lower. The great heat there
had made foreign very scarce. New wheat was quoted to
475. Gd., and rye to 31s. Gd. per qr.
The same complaints as to the effects of drought came
from Stranding in Bavaria, though the harvestorse nearly all
secured in the best possible order. The best old wheat was
quoted 458. ; new, to 42a. 6d. ; new rye, to 265. 6d. ; and
new barley, to 245. 6d. per qr.
There had been a fair trade in corn at Cologne for spring
delivery. Native wheat to 475., foreign to 45e. per qr.
Near Bale there bad been a storm with hail. Wheat was
lower all over Switzerland.

Great heat was seriously complained of at Berlin as in-
jurious to vegsitatioo. All grain was cheapening from the
favourable opinion of the crops.
Harvest-work had been rapidly proceeding in the neigh-
bourhood of Konigsberg In consequence of fine weather.
The rye was safe, and the wheat partly so. The demand
for Finland and Sweden having subsided, prices of grain
were declining, especially wheat and rye. No barley was
coming to hand at present.
Advices from Danzig almost note the completion of bar-
vest-work. An abundance was premised, and a beery de-
cline 61/5110d, which the state of the foreign demand further
threatened. Already a fall of be per qr. had bees accepted
