MARKET NE WS.-(TH[S DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY.)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
tolerably well, but not to say extensively, supplied with
horae-grown Wheats, in which a good business was
doing, at an advance in the quotations of from is to, in
some instances, 3s per quarter. Foreign Wheats were
held at much higher rates. The Barley trade ruled
active, and prices improved is to 2s per quarter. Malt
and Oats advanced is per quarter. Beans and Peas
'Mc. Indian Corn and Flour were again dearer.
No material change has taken place in the value of
fFlour in the French markets, but those up the Baltic
44,e been active for all grain, at steadily improving
currencies. Accounts have come to hand to the effect
that the shipments of grain from the whole of the Rus-
sian ports have been prohibited. The latest advices
from New York state that Flour was on the advance.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market hat
Week were small, whilst those from abroad were confined
to 1,449 quarters of Wheat; 1,372 Oats; 5,645 Beans;
174 Peas; 17 Tares; 4,559 Linseed; 254 sundry Seeds;
200 sacks and 3,518 barrels of Flour.
A very limited supply of Wheat came fresh to hand
this morning from Kent, but there was a slight increase

the midland districts the arrivals by land carriage were

Scarcely any fresh Foreign Wheat was brought for-

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON at a Special Jury.)
COOK V. GOODERE.
This was an action in forma pauperis, to recover da-
mages for injury sustained in consequence of the alleged
neglect of the defendant,
Mr. Pigott appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Haw-
kins for the defendant.
The plaintiff,
Henry Cook, was employed as a coach-
man to an undertaker; and the defendant was a fruiterer,
carrying on business in Gray's 3nu-road.
The injury to
the plaintiff arose under the following circumstances:—
On the 14th of July last, between seven and eight o'clock
in the evening, there was standing opposite the defen-
dant's shop a van and horse, which were the property of
the defendant. The horse was unattended by any one,
and as the plaintiff was about to cross the road in front
of him, the animal seized him and inflicted a severe
wound on the left aide of the breast. The horse was
vary savage, and it was with considerable difficulty
he released himself from the grasp of his mouth,
On complaining to the defendant, he admitted that the
horse was a very vicious one, and said he had ordered
a muzzle for him, but it had not come. The defendant
recommended the plaintiff to his doctor, who attended
him gratuitously until his recovery, but refused even to
give him 10s., the sum spplied for as compensation,
though he was unable to proceed to work for a period of
four weeks.

Mr. HAWKINS contended, on the part of the defen-
dant, that the action had been brought solely for the
purpose of putting money into the solicitor's pocket.
The CHIEF BARON having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 10s.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT:

The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court
were opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the other civic func-
tionaries who usually attend the court on these occasions.
The grand jury having been sworn and empannelled,
The Learned RECORDER proceeded to deliver his
charge to them.. He said he was happy to be enabled to
inform them that, notwithstanding a considerable in-
terval had elapsed since the last session, the business
this session was not of a very heavy character; but at the
same time he was sorry to say there were some very
serious offences which they would have to inquire into;
there were, however, hardly any cases in the calendar
which he thought it necessary to detain them upon,
because it .was not his practice to make
any observations upon a case unless there was some
legal difficulty involved in it which made it desirable that
some explanation should be offered about it. The facts
were for them to deal with, and if any unforeseen diffi-
culty should hereafter arise, the Court would be at hand
ready to give them every assistance. He found, upcn
looking over the calendar, that there were two charges
of murder, one of them the result of a dispute in a
brothel, and the other a charge against a mother of
having caused the death of her child by wilful strvation
and neglect. In the latter case, the woman charged ap-
peared to have been the mother of two children, one
of them seven. Years of age, and the other an
infant. In a case like this, where the woman was
married, the first obligation of supporting the offspring
of the marriage rested upon the husband of supplying
necessary food and shelter, and unless it could be shown
that the woman had the means within her reach of sup-
plying the wants of life, her husband would he responsible
to the law for the consequences of his neglect. In this
case, however, no question of that sort was likely to
arise, because it appeared from the depositions that there
was aleph) food and clothing within her command if she
had chosen to use it. In the first place, then, all that
they would have to do would be to be satisfied that the
child died from want and exposure; and, secondly,
whether that want and exposure resulted from
the wilful neglect of the mother. There
was a very serious case of stabbing or wounding, with
intent to murder, upon the high seas. In this case two
men were charged, but before they could return a true
bill against the two they must be satisfied that the one
who did not actually strike the blow was conscious of
what the other was going to do, and assented to it.
There were some serious cases of forgery likely to come
before them, but it was not necessary that he should go
into the details of them. The great majority of the
other cases was, as usual, made up of common larcenies,
aid they were of a very simple character. Now, it had
occurred to some gentlemen who had sat upon the
grand jury that it was a great hardship, and
incurred unnecessary expense, that gentlemen should be
assembled together every session to investigate these
petty charges, more
especially as the vast proportion of
these cases had already undergone a preliminary inquiry
before a police magistra.e. In these cases he could not
help concurring with them that the intervention of a
jury
was scarcely necessary. It was not merely
involved great loss of time on the gthraatn ditj
n part of the
gentlemen who served on grand juries that was the
only objection to the system, but it also involved
considerable expense to the prosecutors ; and he
was afraid, indeed he could say from experience,
that the intervention of the grand jury in
some cases facilitated the desire to defeat the ends of
justice, by tampering with the witnesses, and keeping
while, in other instances, great in-
i
parties by their enemies going tuhsetmiceouwt
aosf thdcoehweayto;
behind their backs and preferring bills against them upon
ex parte statements, which were some time after attended
with succssa without having previously gone before a
police magistrate. It was, however, for another place to
decide whether it was desirable to call so many gentle-
men from their homes to attend on these grand jury in-
quisitions, but he could not help believing that many of
the gentlemen who were compelled to lose their time in
this way might render more service to the public, and be
more usefully employed by being
occasionally called
upon to serve on, the common jury.
The grand jury were then dismissed to their duties,
and in a short while, several true bills having been re-
turned into Court, a jury was at once sworn, and the
trials proceeded with.

MARLBRO'-STREEr—(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERY BY A SELOPMAN.--John Barret was brought
before Mr. Bingham charged with r,bbing his employer,
Mr. Peter Squire, chemist, 277, 'Oxford-street.
The proTcutor stated that in consequence of a com-
munication made to him, that the prisoner was robbing
him, he on Saturday evening masked two half-crowns,
which he placed in the till in the presence of a witness.
About eleven o'clock the same night ho looked in the
till and missed two of the marked half-crowns there-
from. Witness then went into the parlour, where the
prisoner was sitting with the othr r young men, and told
him ho had missed some silver from the till, and
directed him to turn out his silver. Defendant then
