QUEEN'S BENuti, UUILDHALL.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
BAMFORD V. GULL.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
277/. of the defendant for goods sold and delivered. The
defendant denied that the goods in question were the pro-
perty of tho plaintiff, but that they hart been obtained
by fraud from a Brussels house, for whom he repur-
chased them of the plaintiff, and to whom he forxarded
them. The cross•examination of the plaintiff elicited
some strange statements from him as to the manner in
which he conducted hi 3 bwinoss as a commission agent;
but as the case hal not concluded when our despatch left
we abstain from entering,' further into it.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER,

(Sittings at Nid Prius, at Guildhall, before the Lor3

Chief Baron and Common Juries.)

REDMAN V. HANCOCK. •

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a butcher,
against the defendant, a widow, for the recovery of a
balance due for meat supplied to some dining-rooms in
Lambeth, of which it was alleged the defendant was the
tenant, and for supplying which she had entered into a
contract with him.

Mr. Atherton, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Jones,
were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr.
Lush, were for the defendant.

The defence set up was, that the defendant was not
the tenant of the rooms in question, and that another
person had paid for the goods sent in.
The learned sergeant was about to address the jury
for the defence, when the learned judge suggested that
he should callihis witnesses at once, if he believed the
plaintiff to be mistaken in affirming that Mrs. Hancock
was responsibie for the debt.

Serzeant Shee—l am not anxious, I assure your lord
ship, to make a speech. (A laugh.)

The Lord Chief Baron— Tuen call Mrs. Hancock at

Sergeant Shee—Very well, my lord ; but if the jury
are indulged in such a manner they won't be anxious to
hear any speeches at all in future. (Loud laughter.)
Mrs.llandcock was thereupon called, and her evidence
was proceeding ashen our report was despatched.

MARKBT NEIVS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived
up to our market this week, coastwise and by land car-
riage. Although the show of samples in to-day's market
was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled very inactive.
In prices, however, no quotable change took place from
Monday. Rather over 14,000 quarters of foreign wheat
have arrived this week. Good heavy qualities were held
firmly, at full prices. In low and middling kinds so little
was doing that the rates were almost noodual. Floating
cargoes of grain were less active.
The sale for barley was slow, but no change took place
in the quotations.
In the value of malt no change took place.
Oats sold to a moderate extent, on former terms.

Beans, peas, and flour ruled dull, at barely late rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts, the
time of year considered. For all bresds—owing to the
small number of buyers in attendance—the demand ruled
heavy, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday.
The show of sheep was good, and the mutto❑ trade was iu
a depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of from
2d to 4d per Sibs. We had a very dull sale for lambs, at
from 2d to 4d per 81bs less money than on Monday.
Calves were in good supply, and heavy request, at fully
Gil per Sibs beneath late rates. In pigs, very little was

Mich cows sold heavily at from 141 to 191 ss, including
,heir Email calf.
