Wm. Clark, who was brought up from Holloway Prison,
said—l was stopped with a truck by the constable on the
18th of January last. I know the house 7, Little Trinity-
lane. I had taken it a month before Christmas-day. I
know Morley, the defendant. I first became acquainted
with him nine years ago. I let the house in Trinity-lane
to him. Ho went by the name of Clark. Ho was
to pay me a pound a week. He did not tell me what he
wanted it for, but I afterwards found out that he had a still
in the cellar. I saw it in the house after he had been nine

tell his man to get it home; we were taking the stuff to
7, Trinity-lane. I've not hoard anything of Morgan since.
I have been in prison. I don't know where he is.
William Harmer—l was taken up with the last witness
when he was taken into custody. I lived at No. 7, Trinity-
lane. Morgan asked me to come and reside there. After
I went to lodge in the house the still was in one of the
rooms upstairs. Morgan set the still up, and I assisted
him. He learnt me how to work it. I was to have a pound
a week and lodgings rent free as wages. The still was at
work when I was taken into custody. I had charged it
previously.
Sarah Harmer, wife of the last witness, said—l remember
theseizare of the still.- I was-taken into custody. Morgan
first opened the shop as a tobacconist, then he turned it
into a sweetstuffshop. Morgan has since absconded.
One of the officers of the Excise proved the non-entry o
the existence of the still. He said he believed every word
the witnesses had stated, as he knew that Morgan was
concerned in the keeping of several illicit stills, and that
some persons besides those who had given their evidence
that day were now suffering for his offence in prison.

Mr. Ford said—Carter was in my service since the Bth of
June, as tplateman. Yesterday Mr. Smith, pawntroker,

and on some being shown I identified it. I went for Ser-
geant Joy, and the male prisoner denied taking it. The
plate consisted of candlesticks, salt cellars, eco., and on my
telling him that he had seen it at a pawnbroker's, he then
said he had taken it. The whole of the property produced
by Mr. Smith is mine and worth £l5, but I miss a great

LA TV 11VTELL1GENCE.—(This Day.)

LORD JUSTICES' COURT.
THE WINDHAM CASE.
Sir H. Cairns occupied the whole of the day with his
arguments in reply.

. .
The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's
market were very small. For dry parcels there was a
moderate demand, and prices were steadily supported.
Damp qualities, however, met a dull inquiry, at late rates.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Generally
speaking, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took
place in the currencies compared with Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, on
former terms.

Malting barley sold steadily at late quotations ; but
grinding and distilling sorts met an inactive market.
In malt a limited business was transaoted at previous
currencies.

The show of oats was very moderate, nevertheless, the
demand was in a sluggish state, at late rates.
Both beans and peas moved off slowly, yet prices, com-
pared with Monday, were without change.
The flour trade was very dull, and American qualities
were only saleable by submitting to a reduction of 6d. per
barrel.
