This was an Mina to recover the sum of 481.85. 9d. Os
the 6 h of August last Mr. Byron had some eommanication
with the pimiadff aped the subject of 26 shares in the Tin
Croft Mitring Company, and, considering that he had bought
them at 101. • share, he immediately sold then to a stock•
broker, eased Monday. at 101. 2e. 66. per share; but
shortly a/Inwards the &feudist west to the plastid, and
asked him to gush the bargain, as he had disposed of the
same sham to 'mother shandealer, named Biloolm, who
was to give 101. 2e. 6d. per sham The plaintiff said he had
already resold them, sad could not comply. By the
dare the *WM should have deliveredthe shares
to Meaday, they had rises la the market, the
prim them being rather more than 121., sad ae
the laintiff emild net deliver them, because the

plaintiff to pay him the diffenaes between the pries he had
purchased thins at sad the ries tbg would then fetch is
the market, whisk he did, and the present artier wee to re
cover the sum so paid. The plaintiff tendered 2601. to the
defendant, sad deassaded the shares. They were, however,
refused.

The Recorder told the jiuy that, upon eassidering the
whole of the evidence, their verdiet should be for the delft.
dant. There wain° het before them to show that the shares
had been sold to the plaintiff; but, on the tantrary, the set.
denim went to show that he bad teen entrusted to sell then
at 101.25. 6d. • share, and whilst he really did sell them at
that ;Kiwi, he represented t 1 at he had sold the. at 101. only,
and he tendered only 101. a share. This gave the defendant

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—SATuaDAT.

A lAVORLILI SCINZ.

A young man named Percival applied to be admitted to
bail till his keeling, end Mr. Nichols opposed for this de-
taining creditor, on the ground that Mr. Moon, a furniture
dieter, in the New Cut, one of the proposed sureties, was not
in a condition tojastify as bail.
Mr. Moon, in addition to his affidavit tiled, now swore
that he was possessed of property in the New Cut of eta-
tient value to be bail for the insolvent
The attorney for the detaining ere Itor (Mr. Howard)
stated that he had made inquiries at the hones is the New
Cut, and a female servant told him that Moon lived at
Paddington, sad had no interest in the place, and advised
him (the attorney) t • call when her mistress was at home.
He called again, when Mrs. Moos assured him that Moon
had no interest in the property, and was a drunken fellow.
At this stage of the case a eral opinion seemed to pre-
vail that Moon was " hired bail," and the attorney was
despatched to fetch Mrs. Meier, as she had promised to
attend, she having said to Mr. Howard " Only send for
me, and he dare not show."
Mocn was requested to remain in court and be then in-
formed the court that the lady who had given him such a
character was his own wife.

A laughable scene was now presented. Moon mid his
wife was determined that he should aet be bail la the court,
and had concocted the story. Some of Mr. Moon's friends
snared the court that he was a respectable man, and that
hie wile had determined to stop him from being bail.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips—At present this seems to be
all " asomishine " (Roan of laughter.)
The attorney afterwards returned and said Mrs. Moon
would not come with him. She said it was all true what she
had stated, and she would come on Monday.
Mr. Nichols said he had told the attorney what had oc-
curred, and he was satisfied that the insolvent should be dis-
charged on the bail as offend.
Mr. Commiesioner Phillips told the attorney to be careful

how he I. fature believed ;hat a woman mid: (Laughter.)
The bail were accepted and the bus:dual discharged.
Moos had waited in court for the appearance of his wife, but
his " *careful spouse" did not show when requested ; thus-
t re the comminioner said it wu " !moonshine."

ISLINGTON COUNTY COURT.-SATORDAT.
TAYLOR V. SOLLIV4O4.-EXTBAOIDINAM Casa.
This Radon was brought to recover the sum of 41. 15s.
The plaintiff is poor Irish girl) stated that she was in re-
spectable service at Horton, and east the defendant nine
weeks back, when he suddenly pretended to admire her,
telling her she resembled a sister who had died, and asked
her to favour hint with her company for a walk, as he wee
a single man, end anxious to get married. She believed his
representations, and he continued paying his addressee to
her until a fortnight ago, when he induced her to obtain
leave of absence from her mistress for a day and a night,
representing that it was for the purpose of taking her to
Shoreditch church to be married, he having previously told
her that he had publithed their banns there. Her mistress
granted her request, the plaintiff having led her to understand
that she was going to be oridesmaid to a relative. 8h• met the
defendant pursuant to his request, when be took her to the
church mentioned, which, however, was closed, when, oa
his entreaty, she accompanied him to a beer-shop in White-
eras street, when he introduced her to several men and
women, who, be said, were his relatives, and by them and
the defendant she was induced to jump over a broom, and
go through other mock ceremonies of marriage, under an
Impression that it was legal, and she paced with the =oust
now claimed, fully believing that he was her lawful husband.
After enjoying herself in has company and that of his friends,
during the day at the beer-shop, she accompanied him to his
lodgings for the night, and went to her service in the more-
ing, when she mentioned to her mistress that she had
practised a deception on her in obtaining permission of
absence, and she then detailed the above extraordinary
circumstances, which reaching her master's ears, he
adopted the present proceedings, and convinced hr r of the
angel trick of which she had become the via. kn. During the evi-
dence of the plaintiff, the judge, Sedum Jones, and every
one present expressed their surprise and indignation, and,
at the conclusion, his Honour said it was a matter of surprise
to him that her master had not handed over the defendant
to be dealt with criminally, which he most richly deserved ;
and he added that, before giving judgment, he should direct
Copeland, one of the officers of the court, to see her muter
and mistress, to ascertain from them certain matters in con-
firmation of the plaintiff. Copeland proceeded at once to do
so, and when the case was again called on the learned judge
said he had resolved sufficient proof of the accuracy of her
evidence, cad he ordered the defendant to pay the money
sad postein a week, observing the law then would punish
him to the fullest axtent if he made any default.
' The fellow was then hissed frees the spot.

NEwc•svta-ox-TYN a. Feb. 23.-The weather has been
main of a tempestuous character, which has hall the effect of drying
the land and fitting it for the reception of the seed, which operation is
abut (*emceeing, so that for some weeks we may expect the deli-
eerie. from the growers, which hitherto have been upon ale unman,
liberal scale, to fall off most materially, and thus impart more nubi-
lity to the trade. The trade during the pretest week has ruled steady,
and a fair tenet of bonne has been dons In meet articles at fully
armor rates, any deuce being ruined by the constuners, which
they have been cubed to do effectually, by reason of the supplies
Mae so considerable of late. The eoMdal table of imports just pub.
Naiad by the Board of Trade, show that there have been imported
&nag the twelve months, ending the 3th January, 4,309,626 qrs.
Wheat, 3,937,219 ewts. Flour, 1,314,960 rye. Barley, 1,363,e73 qrs.
One, 236,30 e qrs. Eye, 285,467 rpm Peak sad 463,4 M qrs. Beans, and
yet with these immense Impute, the stocks held are much lighter
than at a similar y creed last year, whilst at the same time the quan-
tity held by the consumers was much mare ceasithrable, many par-'
tier Whig large stocks in bond wattle, the release of the ware-
housed stocks, which occurred on the Ist of February. With then
important circumstances tefore tie it doe, appear most ram:kohl,
that prices of agricultural pioduce should have rostanall
for saes • lengthened period In suck a state of comparative denude%
which we can only attribute to the uncertainty that exists la to bon
the trade may work under the recent changes of the law. We ram
ly think that potent prices are nut justified by our presort
position, and that if confidence were once restored, which an unpre.
Judleed view of the subject could not fail to impart, that agricultural
produce would not lung remain at its present unnaturally depressed
value. At our market this morning we had • large supply of Wheat
from the growers, End its condition being muck imprmed, sales were
more readily effected, anything extra rather eleceding the rates of
this day ee'nnight. The great bulk of eur arrivals having teen up
but wash, the month, offering to-dae was not large, and such being
bald above the views of our buyers, only a niuderate business resulted.

WlNClehlergit, Feb. 23.-A small supply of grain, end a
very short attendance, consequently but little business wars doing in
Wheat, and the turn of prices was le favour of the buyers. Barley,
though slow of sale, cannot be written cheaper than on Saturday lair,
and in some instances these wag • trifling improvement for seed corn.

B . Feb. 21.—The weather has been favourable 'or
the country cause Friday last, and in all parts of the e.untry our
farmers are busily engaged planting spring Wheat and early Potatoes,
and in the other labours of the seas .n. In consequence of the above_
noted change of weather, the supplies of grain at market are small.
Wheat sells reedily at former prices; prime foreign for mining
wasted. Four rather a slow sale, and in the coarser qualties some
abittment would be submitted to. Prime barrel Flour dull, at 12s. t,
245. per barrel. Parley sells at about former rates. We have little
or no demand for cargoes. Oats are a free sale, at last week's prices.
Oatmeal tells rather slowly, at similar prices to those obt doed last
week.

WATZWFORD, Feb. 23.-One deliveries of grain from the
coun. ry this week have been on a erre moderate scale; notwith.tand.
Mg which, the trade has been charasterised by great dulnem and in-
activity, with a tendency to lower prices for moat article,. Wheat :
Irish has sold slowly at fal. per barrel below the rates of this day
selought, and foreign has been difficult to quit, except at a similar
reduction, buyers befog kept in check by the low quotations from the
Baltic Ports. Barley in very limited request, at previous prices. Oats,
both black and white, mud be noted cheaper by 3d. per barrel ; at
this decline the demand has somewhat improved. Flour has met a
fair retail tale. at unaltered rates. For Indian Corn we have had a
rod inquiry, but owing to the decline in Liverpool, all descriptions
must he written lower by 3d. per barrel, except Galata, which being
scarce, maintains its value. The following are the quotaiio

KIRKCALDY. Feb. 23.-In the earl, part of the week
we bad boisterous stormy weather, with occasionally heavy falls of
rain; latterly it has been dry, and a beginning has been made in spring
Wheat and Bean sowing. At our country markets this week, we had
much leas grain offering than of late, we had many anxious buyer. at
late rates, and an additional 6d. per qr. was paid in some Instances,
more especially on Barley and Oats ; Beata and Peas even yet offer
