Mr. Judie* Creswell. Yr. Justice Williams will preside at
chambers.
The only cam worthy of notice in the proceedings of
Saturday was that of "Barnes o. Ward." It was an action
brought by a poor man to recover compensation in damages
for injuries he had sust.ined by reason of the lass of his wife,
who was killed by a fall into an area, attached to a house be-
longing to the defendant. The case was tried before Mr.
Justice Coltman at the last sittings in Middlesex, when the
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 3001., to be
apportioned in different sums to himself and his three chil-
dren. After pronouncing the verdict, the jury expressed a
hope that the court would adopt means to secure the payment
of the money te the children in the manner prescribed. The
learned judge said he was not aware of the existence of
any sot of parliament authori.ing the court to make an order
upon the subject ; but the matter might be further inquired
into. At the close of the trial certain points of law were re-
Mrved for future °maid. ration ; and on Saturdmorning
. Serjeant Byles, for the defendant, applied toy the court
for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial.
—Rule nisi granted, the court at the same time intimating
that with respect to the sums awarded by the jury to the
plaintiff's children, it was not in the power of the judges to
order the money to be paid in the manner suggested.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Oorantarioner Goulbarn.
IN RE D. E. COLUMBINE, AN ATTORNET.—Io this cue
an applicstioa was made on Friday last to Mr. Commissioner
Fane, to make an order allowing the bankrupt, who was
made so whilst abroad, in consequence (as alleged) of two of
Lis clerks having conspired against him, to have copies of the
depositions upon which he was made a bankrupt, and the
learned commissioner declined to interfere, referring the cue
to Mr. Commissioner Cioulburn, before whom it had been pre-
viously beard at great length.—Mr. Cooke, an the part of the
bankrupt, now made a similar application, stating that it was
the intention of his client to apply to the Court of Review
for the purpose of annulling and superseding the fiat, and it
was highly necessary in making such application to file a
petition to the Court of Review to state upon what grounds
Mr. Columbine was declared a bankrupt. He (Mr. Cooke)
thought that it was usual for this court to grant such appli-
cations.—Mr. Commissioner Goulburn considered that Mr.
Cooke's application ought to be made to the Court of Review,
and he did not think that this court bad power to interfere
under such circumstances. Had the adjudication been dis-
puted heforre him, there would have been power. Applica-

POLICE.— SATURDAY.
BOWSTREET.—CH•IIOI or IMPANTIOID6.—A man,
whom name did not transpire, wu charged with being con-
cerned with Anne Cleveland. in causing the death of her
male infant by suffocation.—Sarah Berber proved that
about six weeks back she was engaged by Mrs.
Cleveland to dry-nurse the child from the birth.
On Wednesday evening she took it home, but was
told to bring it the next day, to which she made an
objection, but the mother replied that a person wished to see
it who would not come into the room if she was present, in
consequence of which she brought the baby and laid it in
the bed with her. Witness was then ordered to ws, home for
an hour or two, as she understood the prisoner was
coming, but she said she would wait in the kitchen ; where,
having remained an hour and a half, the bell rang, and having
gone up to the room Mrs. Cleveland said the chid had
been crying and desired her to take it away. Witness then
observed that there was a running from the nose, and that
the baby could not breathe freely, and was very much
altered. She brought it again on Inday. In the interim, Mr.
Booking, surgeon, having seen the baby, said it was going on
very well, and laid it with the mother in the bed, and she
was desired to come again in an hour. The bell having rung,
Mrs. Cleveland desired witness to call in another hour, as the
baby was asleep, which she thought very extraordinary, as it
had slept several hours previously, and having requested to
take it then as she was wanted at home, the mother reluc-
tantly consented, and upon opening the shawl which was
over the child, she discevered that it was quite dead. Witness
instantly mentioned the circumstance; but the mother, after
'eying it was only asleep, directed that the doctor should be
sent for.—A young man named Smith, residing at 46,
Chandosetreet, and describing himself as a town
traveller to Mr. Aaron", cigar manufacturer in the
Strand, and a girl named Davis, proved distinctly that
they both saw from the parlour the prisoner leave the house
in a stealthy manner between five and six o'clock. The
latter added that when she first saw the child dead
there wee a small black mark on the side of the neck.—Mr.
' Booking, being called, said such was the case, bat it had
disappeared, and on the removal of the skin there were no
marks of violence observable. He considered an inquest
ought to be held es soon es possible, as such marks might
disappear if any delay was caused.—Mr. Moseley said that
' the pariah authorities would use every exertion to have an
inquest at an early hour on Monday.—Mr. Wolff, on the
part of the prisoner, submitted that the only evident* to
press agams. t the prisoner, as being accessory to the death of
the infant, wan that he wee seen to leave the house at
particular moment, and that being very meagre, he consi-
dered he wee entitled to his di charge.—Mr. Jardine, how-
: ever, ordered him to be remanded for a few dart

MONEY MARKET.
SATURDAY EVENING.
The Bank broker made a purchase of 50,00 W.
Breleaner Bills this morning, in continuation of some
smaller traasactions within the last few days. It failed to
prelim any material effect on the quotations, however,
whisk were afterwards called par to lc premium only. The
polities to which these securities are reduced in the midst
eta gensal improvement in other public values is calcu-
lated to eat disconregingly on the general money market,
where beakers and capitalists are such large holders,
from an apprehension of other possible financial de-
rangements d Itke Treasury. to result when the bills
have to be peevided for. Whilst there are symptoms
of reviving anfidence in the Stock fizeheage,
z=magemistis for the impression that the recent armed
la food prices was of a character examgensul be-
iced the ameseities of the occasion, in view of the ripening
promises of foreign supplies, and havers to comelva
abroad as well as here are of the fairest prospect, this unfor-
tunate depilation of exchequer securities remain, still the
one unmitigated cause of uneasiness. As affairs are at pre-
sent the bills are almost if not quite unavailable for negotia-
' tire. No large amount could be disposed of in the open
market, nor could money be raised upon them by way of
loan to any extent for a period worth censideration, for
advances are only made at the Bank repayable in the early
part of July, and with a limitation, doubtless, to amount, in
each individual case. The facilities of acoommodation
are thus very seriously trammelled in the money market
by inch a dead weight of values which cannot be ren-
dered into active signs. The danger becomes, thereinto,
the more imminent from any further delay at the Trmol
eery in dealing with the bills on rich a footle( es shell
prevent money being demanded for them when dais, in-
stead of renewals. A funding operation must be oat el the
question, for it could only serve to disorder the stack
market again, scarcely yet recovering from a state of quasi
disorganisation. There would seem, therefore, no resource
for the Chancellor of the Exchequer in this dilemma, and for
imparting more ease to the money market, than by ridaag the
rate of uttered on the bills to 3 per cent, to induce holders to
renew for twelve months more, in the security then of
possessing • description of values better suited to the einem-
stances of the times, and readily convertible instruments of
negotiation at any moment. To that conclusion it would
appear certain he must come at last, for it is scarcely pro-
bable the object can be attained by any such amount of pur-
chases for the purpose of forting the bills to a dainthie
premium as the Bank could conveniently find the mane for.
Although these facts and considerations have been premed
substantially upon the attention of the governing MN"
ea
former occasions under this bead, yet in view of the early
coming period when decision must be taken, the reiteration
of City opinion now can hardly be inopportune.
The funds were generally on the advance today. Consols
opined 4 better than the lest prises of yesterday, at 87 to
for money and account, and ware afterwards done at 871,
leaving off 871 to 1, with a firm appearance. Reduced
