COLONIAL.

TEA.—Business has been exceedingly inactive, and prices
show no change of importance.
SUGAR.—The market has been rather dull, although late
prices are generally well supported. In the refined market
good grocery qualities are quoted 43s 6d to 455, and titlers
45s to 47s per cwt.
COFFEE.—There has been a steady inquiry for Planta-
tion and Native Ceylon, and prices are unaltered.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been done, in soft
grain descriptions, at full prices.
TALLOW.—Businoss has been rather quiet, although
quotations for both present and forward delivery are
steadily maintained. P.Y.C., on the spot, is at 40s; June
delivery, 40s 3d to 40s 6d ; and last three months, 41s 6d
to 41s 9d per cwt.

the Lunacy
of
the
prisoner Stephen. According to this act,
if a prisoner while under sentence of death, or indeed any
other sentence, is alleged to be insane, an application may
bo made to the sheriff of the county to have an examina-
tion made of the prisoner as to his insanity by the sheriff
and two medical men, and on their certifying that the pri-
soner is insane at the time of the examination, and these
certificates being laid before the Home Secretary, the act
provides that he shall grant a warrant for the prisoner's
removal to a lunatic asylum during her Majesty's pleasure.
The particulars of the investigation in the present case
have not, of course, transpired; but we have good reason
to believe that the result of the investigation was a report
by the medical men, concurred in by the sheriff, that the
unfortunate man is labouring under such an amount of
mental disease as to warrant his removal to a lunatic
asylum. It is unnecessary to speculate what weight these
certificates may have with the Home Secretary.-.-Aberdeen
