RONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There has been a good demand for monk y to day
In the general market at 3i 4 per cent. for the best
ewbmercial bills.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
mounted to £567,000, and the exports to £757,000.
A further sum of £45,00u in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
In the foreign exchtmges yesterday afternoon the
~..°IIIY change of importance was a rise, in the rates on
4:Aland.
The following remarks upon the prospects of
trade are from Messrs. J. Travers and Sons' weekly
elreular:—" In every quarter indications are ob-
eervable that the general trade of the country is in
It!I exceedingly satisfactory condition. Except in
tae Stock Exchange, there is a complete absence
Of unhealthy speculation, while at the dame
time the weekly traffic returns of the rail-
lvays of the United Kingdom fully prove,
both as regards passengers and goods, that the
amount of business is steadily increasing. It is
alBO worthy of notice that, during the last 10 or 15
Years there has not been a period so completely free
as the present from commercial failures of any kind.
The Customs and Excise receipts are, it is believed,
eerning in satisfactorily, and hence it is confidently
expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer (al-
!hough in all allusions to his forthcoming Budget
be has thought it necessary to remind the public that
the possibility of reductions being made must de-
Pend, in some degree, upon experience yet to be ac-
qtlired before the end of the quarter) will be able
to realise in the way of ameliorations at least as
much as he has at any time permitted himself to
anticipate.

The Crush at the Royal Procession.--Another

Death.

Yesterday morning Mr. Humphreys opened an
trquiry at the Black Boy Tavein, High-street,
kipping, respectii g the death of Jane Darling,
aged fifty-eight.
Elspeth Crutenden, of No. 125, High-street, Wu p-
Ping, said that the deceased was her sister, and on
the 7th of March she left home at half-past ten
o'clock to see the procession. She was quite well,
and was alone. About five o'clock she was brought
ihome in a cab, when she had a broken arm, a
°lblek eye, and was much bruised over the body.
Witness got her to bed,nnd sent for a surgeon, when
the deceased informed witness that after the proces-
on had passed sne was standing near the front of
the premises of Messrs. Dean and Co., in King
William-street, and while in the act of making her
.tay towards the Monument she was forced down
1Y the rush of the crowd and trampled upon. She
(deceased) then became insensible, and when she
e%lne to she found herself in the London Hospital,
where she was taken in a cab. Her are\ was set,
and after a short time she was removed to her
home at her own request. The deceased seemed to
get a little letter, but she became worse, and died
on the 17th inst.

Mr. Wood, surgeon, of Wapping, said that he was
called to the deceased, and had attended her since.
Re had made a post-mortem examination of the
body, and. found that she had suffered from fatty
degeneration of the heart, which had clearly acce-
lerates? her death. The deceased might have lived
for years if she had not received such serious inju-
ries.

The Jury concurred in an opinion expressed by
the coroner condemnatory of the arrangements of
Ply, city police, at.d returned a verdict "That the
injuries which had caused death were accidental."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

TRYING TO MAKE A MAN PROVE WHAT HE OWES.-SIN-

0 *MAR CASE.-BANDALL V. STANSBY.
This was an action to recover £4 lOs for goods alleged to
have been sold and delivered. Upon a previous oocasion
the plaintiff could only prove that he had received a letter
from some person, and had sent the goods upon receipt of it.
His Honour intimated that this was not sufficient, and
plaintiff's attorney said he expected defendant would have
been present to have admitted it.
His Honour—Plaintiffs are bound to come properly pre-
pared, and must not speculate upon a defendant coming
forward to admit everything.
Upon this an adjournment was taken, and plaintiff again
attended with his attorney, who said. " I have this time
subpoenaed the defendant." Defendant did not appear, and
wa, then called upon his subpoena. Mr. Stansby did not
answer, and plaintiff's attorney asked that he be fined.
His Honour—No, I cannot fine him ; you can sue him
under the statute of Elizabeth for a £lO penalty.
Plaintiff's Attorney—Perhaps I can get ( n without him.
Plaintiff—l received a letter and sent the goods, That
is all I can say. _

His Honour—And that i 3 not sufficient, (Laughter.)

Attorney—l think yGu ought to fine defendant.
His Honour—No; he may he ill or dead, and if so, he
cannot be here. You very well know what the plaintiff was
prepared to prove on the last occasion, and ho proves no
more now.

Attorney—Defendant ought to be here.
His Honour—He could not if he were dead. You must
sue him for the penalty, and I dare say plaintiff would rather
have £lO than £4 15s. I shall now nonsuit you.

Plaintiff nonsuited.
JURIES ANT' THE SMASHERS-REVENGE EXTRAORDINARY.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

A case of alleged perjury of a most remarkable
nature has just occurred at Croydon. At the
County Court, en the 9th inst., a widow named
Mary Cooper brought an action against Mr. Mar-
maduke Walker, a gentleman farmer, residing at
Addington Lodge, near Croydon, and in whose ser-
vice she had been for a number of years, to recover
the sum of 30s. under an agreement for the main-
tenance of an illegitimate cbild, of which she al-
leged he was the father and she the mother. At the
trial she produced a child in court, which she posi-
tively asserted was the one of which she had been
delivered, at the house of a Mr. Warren, at Croy-
don Common, in September, 1862. Mrs. Warren
gave evidence to the effect that Mrs. Cooper had not
been confined at her house; but the judge, con-
sidering that the plaintiff most solemnly declared
that she had given birth to a child, and that the one
product d in court was the same, gave judgment in
her favour, at the same time remarking that, if her
statement was not true, it would be found out
sooner or later, and in that ease her fate would he
inevitable. it has since transpired that, on the
morning of the County Court action, the widow went
to the house of a Mrs. Edwards, a total stranger to
her, in a cab, and requested to have the loan of her
child, for a short time, as her own was thirty miles
away, and she wished to show it to some person at
ten o'clock that morning. After a good deal of
hesitation Mrs. Edwards was induced to part 'with
her baby, and it was the one produced in court, and
sworn to in the manner stated. On returning it
Mrs. Cooper offered Mrs. Edwards £5 to say
nothing about the affair. The circumstances of the
County Court action came to her knowledge, how-
ever, and she lost no time in communicating with
Mr. Walker upon the subject. The result has been
that a warrant has been issued for the apprehension
of Mrs. Cooper on a charge of perjury, and she wilt
be brought before the Croydon bench of magistrates
for examination to-day (Saturday).
