preesedings. After the ease had been eentdaded, the jury
returned a verdict of Greiky against both the prisoners. The

CLAY V. BASTWOOD.—MALICIOUB PRoBECuTioN.—The
plaintiff is an attorney at Huddersfield. The defendant is a
manufacturer residing at Meltham, and the action was
brought against him by the plaintiff for presenting a bill of
indictment against hies for perjury, which was tried by Mr.
Baron Alderson, at the last spring amine, and a verdict of
" not guilty" recorded. The cnrunntanoteont of which this
ease arose were, that in 1845, a man named Moorhens°,
and several other persons, were three thus brought
before the justices on • charge of trauma on
the defendant's land. That charge was d and
subsequently Moorhouse brought an action against
the defendant for damages. That action was tried before
Mr. Justice Patinae and it became a material question whe-
ther the case was dismissed by the magistrates upon its
merits. Mr. Clay, the present plaintiff, who had defended
Moorhens') before the magistrates, was examined at the trial
as a witness, and he then stated that the charge wan dismissed
upon its merits. The jury found a verdict for Moorhouse,
damages 40e., and the defendant afterwards preferred a bill
of indictment against the plaintiff for perjury. The learned
counsel stated that he should call witnesses to prove that the
charge was dismissed upon its merits, and to show that Mr.
Eastwood bad repeatedly said that his object was not to
punish Mr. Clay, but to prevent the men who were with
Moorhen's* on the occasion referred to from bringing actions
against him.—After two or three 'vitamin.* hcd been
',examined, • conference took place between the counsel
on each side, after which, Mr. Knowles, for the defen-
dant, said he was sure that his lordship would not
think it a departure from the proper discharge of
his duty to his client, if, after the evidence that had
been given, he admitted it would be idle to contend that
there was not some saineseeption about the matter. He
was therefore prepared to souk to fuel& which bed been
made, that a juror dwell be withdrawn, suil that Mr. Bell
(his lordship's areeelele) should amend the earners to
which Mr. Clay had been put.—Mr. Matta begged to be
allowed to state, on the part of his client, Mr. Clay, that he
had brought this action from no wish to indulge any motive
of malice, or to do anything hurtful to Mr. Eastwood en the
least, but merely to get for himself an indemnity for the ex-
pense lie had sustained.—The Lord Chief Baron thought it
right for him to say that this was a very honourable mode of
determining the matter, because, in the case of Mr. Clay, a
member of • respectable profession, it wet necessary that
something more should be does than a mere nominal ac-
quittal. His lordship thought it plain that Mr. C.ars object,
under this arrangement, was merely to clear his character,
and nothing more.—This case ends • vast amount of litiga-
tion arising out of the game laws.

gotten altogether the troubles of this world. Mr. Seeker

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EYINING.

The funds are still rather upon the decline than
otherwise, with little business doing, the near ap-
proach of the elections, and the wants of the railway
companies, occasioning a certain demand for money,
which is to be had only at somewhat advanced rates.
Cousols left off at 88/ for money, and 88/ to I for
amount. Exchequer Bille,at Bs. to 10s. prem.
At the meeting of Peruvian bondholders held
to-day, at the London Tavern, nothing of importance
was done.
The Peruvian government obtained their loans at
extremely high rates, the average being far above 80
per cent, and yet there is an evident dispoeitioa
on the part of the persons at present in power
to get rid of a large proportion of the lia-
bilities of the republic on this score. Explanations
es to how the money was raised and spent are
demanded, with which, of course, the bondholders
have nothing whatever to do. A resolution was pro-
posed and passed, declaratory of the views of the par-
ties present, to the effect stated. The guano con-
tracts will clearly enable the Peruvian goveriament to
pay the dividends now, whatever may have been the
case for years past, and the claims in question must
be energetically enforced. The bonds left off at the
lower value of 33 to .5, as there must necessarily be
further delay. Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Dutch
Stock, 571 to 2. Five per Cent. Spanish, 22; the
Three per Cent., 32; the Passive Bonds, 41.
The exchanges were generally mach the same.

shade more in favour of this country. Amsterdam,
12.31 to 4 ; Rotterdam, 12.4 to ; Hamburgh,
13.101 to 111 ; Paris, 25.63 to 70 ; Ditto (short),
