that the whole presseffieg was a fraud, in which every one

and as to Antonio, that she had never seen him in
bar life. Whether or not Lambs ins acting is collusion
with the bankrupt it was impossible for him to tell, because
he had left the country and ao oen knew where he was.
Nicholas and Antonio Demetrio were also goaa, and It was
impossible to produce them ; but he submitted that these
circumstances ought not to operate to the prejudice of Miss
Marna if the jury should believe that she had made • hone
ids per of this property. If she had 'mown there
eras anything wrong in the &heir le weeid sek them whe-
ther she would here kept these bills of leZfromi August
October ; and as to her going tot to .ork of them, he
sheull prove that she did so under the advice of a respectable
solicitor, Mr. Walker, whom she bad consulted upon the
subject. Buoy thing connected with the ode appears to
have been in due coons The sale was elected through the
medium of a highly respectable gentismas. the agent to
Lloyd's, and am to the depositing of the other bill of ladle'
by the Bonverie, this was merely done in consequence of
the ship having bees soma time at sea, as • security, the
price having bees paid, that the quality and erudition of the
cargo should be as good as it was represented. In addi-
tion to them facts he should show them that the moment a
' difficulty arose by the seizure of the vessel, which did not
arrive until after the bargain had been completed, Miss
Martin, instead of k the money, wohuitanly placed
LOOM of it in the hands of a banker to abide the result of
this action, and security was given for the remainder, and he
should contend that her conduct throughout the whole of the
transaction had been that of en honed person. What was
there in any part of the owe to show that she had been
guilty of any hand? It was absurd to suppose that Lebow
er Demetrio would hare placed the property in her porno
sine unless she paid for it ; and if she paid for it, et war
been, mid she wee entitled to do what she liked with it,
and had • perfect right to sell it to Merry. Hall. The
learned emend then proceeded to comment upon the
entries in the book% and he argued that they showed
dearly that there had been genuine transactional between
Lebow and the bankrupt, and that there was no reasonable
doubt tlo.t this cargo by the Gloria had been sold to
Lehous, and that he had sold it to Miss Martin under the
circumstances that would be laid before them.
Evidence WAS then given for the defendant.

Aim Mary Ann Bridget Mart.a was examined. The
witness was apparently about forty years old, • very lady-
like woman, and she gave her evidence with the utmost
coolness and self-pneeemion. Bhe deposed am follows
reside at Lanadownwrow, Nottiog-bill. My mother was a
Dutch lady, and upon the death of my parents I came into
some property, which I received in 1836. The amount I
received then was 1,200 f. odd, from Holland. I also derived
some property from my father, about 1,300 t. I have also some
money in my promesion belonging to my sisters who reside
ahead. A part of this property was invested in Canada,
about 2.700 f. of my own, and about 1,0001. of
my sisters'. This money was Owed in the hands of my
cousin, William Henry Martin, and he paid me in-
terest for it. I did not get the interest regularly, and
consequently called in the principal. I need to receive ten
per cent. interest. My col/in Game to Englaod, on his
way to Australia, and he gave me an imolai (produced);
he paid me at first 2,7011., awl afterwards be mire me
a further sum of 1,000 f., and 601. for interest. I know
Nicholas Demetrao, from his lodging in the house I
resided at. I trot became acquainted with him about
. four man ago, when I. was in the habit of vetting a triad
at ILenston. I afterwards took a house at Notting-hill
and furnied it at my own expense, and Niokulas Dermo-
t:to came to lodge with me there about three months. I
had to bring an action spinet him for the amount he owed
•me for board and lodging. which was fref. I obtained
tVect, and the money was paid. This was is

but be has visited me occasionally. I know &Ammo

I asked him how I should invest the money I tad to
and wished him to look out for an investment for =III
be told me that I could invest it in • cargo of barley, and
that it would be a very good thing foe me. I did sot con-
sent at first, but on the 16th of August I did ro, and bought
the cargo by the Bouverie, and Lambe brooght me the
booght note and I gave him the money. The amount was
1,4d01. The signatures to the charterparty and the 1411 of
lading wens both in the handwriting of John Lambe.
I had uo banker, but I pant out of the mosey I had
received from my cousin. 31/.4. Westbrook was present when
my cousin paid we the second amount, and she was aware
that I hail received some money before hum him. I never
saw Antonio Demetrio, the bankrupt. Wawa I paid for the
first cargo, Lembo told me he knew a friend who had •
cargo of wheat to sell, and he thourld it would be • better
investment than the other, and I should make more money
by it. On Radar, ti. 21st of August, I all Mrs. West-
brook were walking in the park, and we met Lambe, se-
compaied by another gentleman, • stranger. Mr. Lambe
introduced this stranger as the gentlemen who had the
wheat to sell. He was a young man. and • foreigner,
but could speak English. I told him I could nut

CIRCUIT.—LzvzapooL, MAzcz 24.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) •
mem Alb amyrnen (etusiotexxe) v. LIR AND ANOTHEL-•-
The plaintiffs in this action are the SWOON' of the estate
of James leClure, jun., a bankrupt; and the defendants are
Elias Levy and Simeon Sampson, who carry on business un.
der the firm of " Elias Levy sod C 0.," in High.street, Mao-
cheater. The action was brought to recover possession of •
oonsideralle quantity of goods disposed of by the bankruptM'Clure to the defendants under fmodulent circumstances.
Before the jury was sworn Mr. Overend, on behalf of the
defendants, remained that, as the mai, had already excited
considerable disc-melon in Manchester, no gentleman from
that city night sit on the jury ; but his lordship refused to
accede to thisapplicatioe, uWees the jurymen were shown
to possess some personal interest in the issue.
Mr. Wilde, Q.C., in °peeing the caw, mid the action was
brought by the assignees of • bankrupt of the name of
M'Clure, for the purpose of recovering from the de-
fendants a large quantity of goods which were disposed
of by the' bankrupt, under such circumstances of fraud
on his part, in obtaining the goods from the creditors and
of oonnivai on the part of the defendacte, as would entitle
the plain ' to set snide those sales andobtain possession of
the goods properly obtained. The assignees had felt it
their duty, -
although the amount involved was perhaps not
very large, 'to go to all needful trouble and expense to
bring this ewe to an issue in a court of justice, in order to
suppress to system of dealing sod a mode of transacting
business *hick must be destructive of credit and
business in Manchester and other town., should it be
persevered in. The charge involved in the present 01011) was
• serious one, but he thought it would be amply borne out
by the evidence. Mr. James M'Clure the younger hew
the business about which they were to inquire that day on
the 18th of August in last year, and the period during;
which he curried on business extended no further than the
23n1 of September in the same year. lie was a nephew oil
Mr. M'Clurp, who had previously carried on the business ;
but he had' not attended personally to business since the
Ist of J • and in the interval between that time
i
and the l: Sill of August, the bankrupt had the
enanagerne of the brines, acting on behalf of
his uncle. Although the business of the elder
M'Clure up to the Ist July averaged • very small amount
of money from that time up to the 23rd of September
rods to the extent of many thousands of pounds were ob-
tained on stradit, and disposed of in the way which be
would des:nibs. Between those dates the business of
M'Clure to' his regular cuatorners amounted to 2791. ; but
the present defendants and some other gentlemen, whose
names the jury would hear, together disposed of no lees
than 2,6541. worth of goods in those few weeks, the
defendants being what is called in Manchester " job
and fent defilers. " On the 18th of August the younger
M'Clure beamse the proprietor of the business, and then
enlarged his sphere of action. When he stopped on the
23rd of September he had sold 333/. worth of goods to his
regular customers ; but to the defendants and to the otlsor
gentlemen who carried on a similar business he
had disposed of goods to the amount of 2,133/. Bat
it must not be supposed that he got this &moist
of money. That was
ilie amount they were la-
voiced at, but the sum he - really received was only
about 1,200/. for goods which were invoiced to him
at 2,95(/. The mode of dealing appeared to be, that
the defendants wane to the bankrupt's warehouse ; they
then would make • lamp offer for the whole lot,
and the bankrupt would make out an invoice to the defen-
dants at • figure reasonably below the real value ; but this
invoice did not represent the amount actually paid by
the defendants, the sum of money actually paid
being much below that represented on the
of the invoice. The whole mode of transacting
brines warn such am to leave no doubt that they were in •
state onlicity with the bankrupt, and perfectly under-
stood what ey were doing. Tbs goods which were sold
. were gr y of &standard value, and were saleable at all
times in the market at about 5 per cent. below the invoice
price ; but they were sacrificed to the defendants at a leas
averaging from 20 up to 50 per cent. on the invoice price.
They were invoiced to the defendants at a considerable lots,
but the money actually paid was much below that, amount.
1 James M'Clure, the younger bankrupt, was then
examined at some length in support of the learned counsel's
statement. He acknowledged that he knew he could not
: awry on the business when he took it. He had taken goods
out of the warehouse and sold them below cost price. He
also got some money from a traveller and from • customer,
and with this money he paid his uncle for the busbies.
I Mr. Overene—Then you stole it?
W knee'. - Yes.
1 The court then rose, the evidence on the part of the
• defendants beir4 reserved for Monday.

increased daring the put week ; sad the inanufactmers' or-
ders are becoming very closely worked up. For upwards of
• fortnight the orders received have been comparatively
small ; and but for the circumstance that there were •
pretty. good number previously on band, the workirte
must in many instances have been upon short time.
however, there has been little of that sort of thing, the
orders coming in having been at once put in hand fur exe-

be that the m ckness which now prevails will not het

trade is quieter, and ever since the reduction of Monday

ELMO, MARCH 31.—Our market was very shortly
supplied with wheat this morning, and the unfavourable
weather prevented a very large attendance. Although
holders asked higher rates, yet purchasers were unwilling to
accede to their denuinds, the present price of wheat being
with flour,
rates. The and thtradsuply of barley
generally was
dull ►nd limited, ►t fullyv
warn scanty, and as there is still a demand, prices routine.,
high. There is a quiet trade in oats, beans, and peas, but
pnoes are unaltered. Wheat, 38s. to 555. ; barley, 30e. to
445. ; oats, 18a. to 325. • beans, 42e. to 52e. ; pees, 38e. to

inferior exhibited. For moms prime qualities of white 565.
per qr. was readily obtained, but the general rates were
48e. to 545. ; red was not much sought after, wed that dea-
-1 cription was firm. Foreign kinds underwentan improvement

very quiet, but the article maintains its valise, at prices
tending upwards ; beet malting lot; fetch 445. per qr. ; and
grinding 35e. in better request. (ate continue to bring
good priced, and the trade ruled very steady ; beet lota

their value _

Yoair., MARCH 31.-There was a good attendance of
buyers and sellers at market to-day, and the quantity of
wheat on offer was not increased as compared with the last
few weeks. Farmers asked high prices, which checked
sales, and ultimately obtained an advance of 2s. to 3a. ;
white descriptions were disposed of at 48a. to 52a. ; red,
445. to 48e. per 36 atone. A moderate amount of business
wadi traaaacted in barley, and the supply being small,
holden were enabled to obtain a slight -advance on recent

ley, 40s. ; oats, 91s. to 321.
WATERPORD, MARCH 31.-We have bad scarcely a sample
of farmers' grain ct market this week ; but there has been
rather more offering by boa: than of late. From abroad
nothing whatever has come to hand, and coastwise only a
few hundred quarters of wheat. The improvement which
has taken place in the trade generally has been fully re-
sponded to in our market, and prime of all articles must he
written higher. Irish wheat has sold freely at an advance
of ls. to Is. Bd. per barrel, and foreign has been in fair re-
quest at a similar enhancement. Barley has brought 6d. to
Is. per barrel over previous quotations, and for oats 6d. per
barrel more moony Las been readily paid. We have had a
large demand for Indian corn, at gradually advancing rates,
. and the market closes firm, at about It per barrel over the
currency of Saturday last. Flour lid. to Is. per sack higher.
