SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY,

DAVIS AND ANOTHER V. QUICKE, ESQ.
This was au action brought to recover the sum of 781.
for wines and spirits supplied to the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant was a young gentleman
of highly respectable connections, but had been obliged to
go into the Queen's Bench. The debt had been incurred
in less than ten weeks, and immediataly afterwards the de-
fendant went to prison, and the plaintiffs had obtained a
vesting order under the new act. The plaintiff charged
16s. per bottle for champagne, and lOs. for cherry brandy.
The Under-Sheriff left it to the Jury to say whether the
charges were fair.
The Jury found for the amount claimed.
A County Court of the Sheriffs of Middlesex was
holden this day, when the customary business was gone
through. Only five persons were called on notice of out-
lawry, being about one-fourth the number generally called.
All the old names of the Lords and " Honourables" are
missing from the list.

be selected and under the management of Sir Robert Peel,
it is generally expected that it will consist entirely of a
Tory description. This has given an impulse to the
moneyed interest, and to those of the above gentleman's
party, who have been purchasing in the Funds this morn-
ing, which has caused Consols to improve. They closed
at 93i both for Money and the Account; since which
they are 93i buyers for Money, and 93i for the Account,
with an expectation of a further rise ; Exchequer Bills,
