complain of respectiog tb, plaiatiff, P"a". be wished to
set tid of him so quickly ; and he replied that
he ha I n, eem,4sint to mike, but it did not suit him to
keep him. Witness then said that he could not go away im-
mediately, sod reminded the defendant that he had incurred
considerable expense in btingieg his things to Alhery, to
which the defendant replied " I can't help that." Before he
left, the defendant said he had received a god character of
the p`Cntiff from Lady Geary, and he should give hint the
Rime.
Evidence was then given to show the forcib'es removal of
the plaintiff from hie eiteage by persons acting under the
authority of the defendant. The horse was tamed lease out
I of tte ',able, his goods were put into the strew, and he wee
obliged to take u 2 his abode for the night in the village pub-
lip-houee.
Mr. Chambers, for the defendant, relied upon three petete,
'first, that the °lntent had not been established; secondly,
that the plaintiff, by giving up the keys and rendering up
his account, had himself cancelled the contract, if one really
existed ; and, thirdly, that, supeoting no contractexiste], all
that was required was a month's notice; and that there was
no difference between the position of the plaintiff, as bailiff,
in this respect, to that of say other farm servant.
Mr. Baron Parke, in gumming up, left it to the jury to say
whether the contract relied upon by the ;I eintiff had been
proved; and said, if they thought it had, the plaintiff was
entitled to a verdict. He also left to them the question
whether it was their opiaion that according tl the custom of
farming a person in the position of a bailiff or I reward
might be discharged, at der orcinary circa:unsnarl!, by
merely receiving a month's notice.
The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed, less the dram paid into
court.
His lordship then asked them their opinion with regard
to the power to discharge a bailiff by giving a month's warn-
ing, and the jury replied that suck wee not the custom.

reference to the prisoner Rash, he said, having carefully ,
read through the depositions, I think I shell best theta-
my duty by saying very little upon the subject, eel for this
MUM: the party in custody is charged with the commis-
sion of one or two murders, end one or two other acts that
are very much analogous to murder. In the meg of parties
charged with murder, it very often happens thstgpiestions
arise of great nicety and difficulty. It is often difficult to as-
certain how death has been caused. whether by lay wend
patty, or by a visitation of God. There ere other eases of
nicety and difficulty arising from the distinction that must
be drawn between murder and menslanghter. Other diffi-
culties with regard to the calves of death might easily be
suggested, and in all cases where they occur I consider it my
ditty to point out to the grand inquest what is the enact line
of demarcation, so that the inquest may be enabled to strive
at a4jast and reasonable cenelneion. Bat in this ease no sort
of difficulty mists. It is deer to demonstration that murder
was committed by somebody--that will be proved in evi-
dence. There is no doubt whatever as to the cause of death,
tad the only thing you have to consider is who committed
the gauzier, whose was the hand that inflicted the deadly
blew. Evidence, as I have said, will he brought before you
which will guide you on that point. Fenons will come for-
ward who, so to speak, were more or lees present at the time
the murden were committed, and that evidence will go directly
to the identity of the piety who perpetrated the murder.
That is a sort of evidence which the hymen mind eagerly
grasp', and 'bleb, therefor*, perhaps enght to be more care-
fully inquired Into. Evidence ought probably to be looked
upon with more laicise, which goes directly to the lad:A—
che point of identity—for nothing is to likely as that people
may be mistaken as to the person by whom a pest outrage
hes been committed, more eweeidly when they are is a state
of the utmost confusion, and have little time to ere, or at all
events, to pay much attention to, what is going on. But this
is a mere general observation, which, in the present ease, is
very mush weakened, inasmuch as several persons speak to
the identity of the marderer. There will be other evidence,
at least so it appears in the dep sitioss. tending to fle the
crime upon the prisoner, and making his previous conduct
inconsistent with his innocence—ooesistent with hie guilt.
It will show that there were motives in his mind that might
lettuce him to commit this murder. But here I
may say that the apparent absence of motive will
not conclusively show that the prisoner did not
commit the crime. Who clan dive into the human
heart to know exactly what pesple's motives ere ? You can
only judge in such a vies by a careful combination of ell the
circumstances which will be brought in evidence before you.
In this cue you will have evidence with respect to his pre-
vious conduct—the d priori evidence, if I may use the term
—then with regard to the events of the time, sad then as to
his conduct afterwards. When, therefore, you have viewed
the whole ease, as I have no doubt you will, calmly and dirt-
pesdoeately, dismissing from your minds ell you have heard
and read, you will decide whether the evidence before you
satisfies you that the prisoner is the guilty party, and if so
you will find a bill against him. If you tai the evidence
is not satisfactory and coaclesive, your duty to your country
and to the prisoner will induce you to reject the bill.
thick I need not trouble you with any further observations,
as the ease is one in which no difficulties an likely to arise.
The grand jury then retired. The witnesses in the cue of
the Stanfield Rail murders will ga before them to-morrow
(Wednesday) morning.
Mr. Sajeaat Byles, Mr. Prendergast, and Mr. James, will
conduct the case fir the prosecution.

part of the day, but closed a lit le firmer, the Match

In the foreign market the excitement prevalent las:
lweek hes greatly abated, and to-day the market has
lben very quiet. Mexican Hauls were done as low
as 30Z, but sallied at the close of the day to 311. In
Perucian and the other South American stocks there
has been scarcely any business dote. The official lists
show the following transactions at the close of the
market : Buenos Ayres. 40 ; Ecuador, 35.
In the European stocks Portuguese have been done
at 78. Sish Five per Cents., 163 ; the Three per
Cense., 29/.pan Danish New Scrip at 7pm. Ani the
Dutch Foor per Cents. a' 78.*
In the Foreign Exchanges there has been very
little variation to-day from those of last post; per-
haps a little more paper than money, in most cases;
the exreptions are for bills on Vienna and Trieste,
which still rule high. Exchar ge on Paris was also a
trifle higher. The followiog are the transactions re-
ported:—On Amsterdam, 12.1/ to 21 (a: short,
11.195 to 12.01); on Rotterdam, 12.2 to 21; on Ant-
weep, 25.65 to 70; on Hamburg, 13.111 to 121; on
Frankfort, 121 to k; on Petersburg, 363 to 5; on
Paris, 23.47+ to 50 (at short, 25.225 to 275) ; on
Germs, 27.80 to 28; on Vienna, 11.40 to 60; on
Madrid, 48/ to 49 ; all at three months, except OA
otherwise expressed.
