John Leo sod Nicholas Williams Gar., of 12. Bucklers-

upon • summons, oltarglog them with having co verted to
their owe or end benefit three Mlle of exchange amounting
In the aggregate to 3101„ which wen entrusted to them by
the complainer for • special purpose.
Mr. Mamas (Humphrey@ and Morgan) appeared to sap-
per the catechist ; Mr. Buller Rigby appeared for Leo ;
and Mr. Sleigh spread for the defendant Giros.
The complainant in this case was Mr. Henry Vaughan, of
the firm of Williams and Vaughan, of 12, Bucklenbury,
tea merchants, and from the treire adduced, end the
statement made by Mr. Morgan„ it appeared that in the
bagianiog of the present year Mr.' Vaughan had some ac-
commodation from the delsodast Leo, who, in oddities to
bis briars ea agent, carries on that of • bill discounter.
At the time the transaction was completed Leo
asked Mr. Vaughan if he would like the use
at the money for &nether three months, sad
Mr. Vaughan asked him upon what terms, and the defied-
sat Leo said he must hare big acceptances for double the
assort The sum was 3001. Leo said a hissed of his In
Bucklerabury would draw ore the complainant- H. gave
his friend's name as Gibson, and said they wasted weer-
awes for double the amount as collateral security, so that
is the f she complainer's borrow: he would be
able to claim 6001. upon the estate, and if it should oily
rlloe. is the posed they would have their moor in
The complainant said that if be did that he
must have • note from Mr. Giber, guaranteeing
that the weepier.s given as security should sot
be segotirecL On the 6th of April Leo took him
five bills, drawn by Gibson sad Co., two of which, amount-
ing to 3001., ware for discount, and the others, amounting
to 3101., were far the senrity. Between the 6th and the
11th April be returoed the bills to Leo accepted, sad after-
wards received • letter from the other deferrer is which
he guaranteed not to negotiate the throe Ws. The mosey
for the other two, however, was sot very readily forth-
coming, sad the complainant, for his 6101. worth of so-
apiaries, had only received 1301. in mosey and • bill for
TM, which, from ioqairiee be had made, he believed was
worthless. The two bills, which were for 1301. 10e. sad
1691. 10s. respectively were paid by the complainant os
their arriving at maturity. Shortly before they because due
the complairat met Mr. Gibers Jed Ord him
if he was prepared to give him up hie erecters% and he
replied that he was. The bills, however, bad sire been
pressotod to him for payment, and be had been sued and
thrown into the Bankruptcy Court by the parties who held
them. Complaiosat applied to Mr. Lou in respect of the
three hills, and afterwards received • letter addressed to
him by Gibson, In which the latter said he had bean to his
friend, sad was sorry to say the bill. had been trent with
some others, and had been disoorted by mistake, but the
he thought he should be are to let Mr. Vaughan have the
moor by twelve o'clock the art day. He could not be
positive, es he was very busy, sad hoped Mr.Vaughas would
sot be pet to say iseoevenise.
Is errs examination by Mr. Butler Rigby, complainant
said the deterrent Leo had offices in the same house. He
had koowa him since Christine' last, sad had been on
friesdiy terms with him, as far as business went, and had
had no reason to doubt his respectability aril this het
tesomaoi too with him. He bad received a letter from the
defendant Leo in which he, in acknowledging a letter from
him in refereede to the bill, expressed surprise at the con-
tents, said be thought there was a subsequent arrangement
rto these bill, which were given as security, bermes
Mr. Vaught. sad Giber, that Gibson should, in return for
having obliged him, be allowed to make use of the bills, and
if he could not pay them they should be renewed. At that
time the complaisant said he had paid the two bills be bed
given for negotiatioc, and he did sot consent to any sue&
arrangement as that mentioned in the letter.

Is ;sewer to Mr. 81b, he said whim he salted Mr.
Gibson if he ins prepared to head him back the bills, be
had a suspicion that they had bee. negotiated. He was
told they were with • hired, and was asked by him to
accept a fresh set of bill, which he did, but be afterwards
insisted upon having them back, and they wen given to him,
but be did not try to get them disoountod himself. He
suspected that the defesdaats ware trying to do so, sad that
was why he had them hick.
Witnesses were then called who discounted the bills for
the defies:ideate, sod the owe we. sdjouraed, the defendants
bean admitted to bail in their own recogaismiose for 20W.

fended.
It appeared from the evidence that Doniford had been is

bad perceived his horses in • very poor conditiob, when

employed to investigate the matter. Lot Sawyer, a very
active and intelligent detective officer of the M division, was
wasequently instrooted to watch the prisoner's entities, sad
on Wednesday mambas last he oonmaled himself ID the pro-

The London averages were 455. 10d. as 2,068 gre. The
imports into the kingdom for the week moiling the
22nd July were 506,223 cwt.. wheat, 88,962 amts. flour.
Monday, la Mark-Ise., ceased en fain *applies of wheat,
both Anglieh sad (media. The show of samples from the
near counties was gaiety ; but the weather on the whole
being Bee, and the country markets Wading downwards,
business was very slack, though only the previous rates
ware demanded, and moat of the samples were left unsold.
In foreign there was scarcely anything passing, holders not
attempting to force ales ; with the weather still doubtful,
and few arrivals off the coast, there was less inquiry for
them. Oa Wednesday there were 690 qrs. par coast, 2,200
qrs. foreign. The weather having been remarkably fay
there was scarcely anything doing, and prioss were fully
Is. per qr. lower to sell. The foreign trade was a little
inactive, but without lower quotations. Oa Friday there
were 710 qrs. par comet, and 7,010 cps. forefeet. With
wrath.: cootinuoualy flee and forcing this was the
dullest day of the week, and Faun factors, rather then
wait the result of Monday's market, then caseated to a
redaction of 3i. per qr. at which decline the stands were
shared. In foreign thin was literally nothing doing. The
supply of country flour on Monday was sheet an a=
bat the foreign arrivals were still deficimit The
for airway qualities was almost at • standstill, but fair
tors hold for former rates. Barrels were equally dull, sad
the late high prices were not obtainable. Town qualities
remained as they previously were, with 40a. es the tap
quotation. On Wednesday there were 240 sacks pox mast,
130 sacks foreign. There was then seareely anything dews
in country sorts, and they who were doieeseleed
to sell were obliged to accept lower terms, lied
the same mune was accessary in born& and
other foreign. Friday's returns were 1350 mats

barley on Monday was umooramoaly short, bus in was male
cep by fair foreign snivels. The whole trade was dull,
though much of the crop was laid by the heavy rains, but
the prime of distilling sad grinding for ekpo were mach se
previously. Oa Wednesday there were 3D qm per meet,
230 qrs. foreign. With this meaty supply scarcely soothing
was doing, and the few sales ma& ware in retail for
grinding aorta, at about the same prier as is Monday.
Friday's quantities wore 30 qrs. coastwise, 230 qrs.
foreign, there being no acreage since Wednesday. The Am.
nem of the weather still operated mama the trade, though
the low prices at which foreign were quoted reefs sellers it
different about placing. The demand for malt on Mosday
was very limited, but no change of prices was noted. There
was inoriased begrimes at the Ghee of the week. There
was another very heavy supply of forage ate on Monday,
though the arrivals fora the Baited Kingdom were
scanty. Canmdering the quantity es sale, there was •
fair trade, and the oily further reduction wee slight,
and limited to mferior qualities and cargoes eat of
order. Oa Wednesday there were 200 qrs. per coast,
160 qrs. Irish, 27,660 gre. (orgies. With this large
increase of foreign, Ime corn about maintained the
previous price; but it was more difficult to place inferior
and ill-000ditimed oorgaea. Friday's quantities were 900
cps. per coast, 160 gm Irish, 49,840 qrs. foreign. With
this last increase there was very little if any, difference in
the value of fresh corn, though to sell Lehner some eon-
comae was necessary. There were ray few Wish beam
at market on Monday, and not many foreign. The trade
was firm for all sorts, though not lively. Seemly anything
was done as Friday, and in the absence of Waimea' priers
were tualtered. There were sesresly any peas reported on
Monday, and the few exhibited were homegrown. Priem
both of boiled and hog feed, were very firm, and so they
continued at the end of the week. The. was °sly a mo-
