MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was very firm, and a further advance of ls. to 2s.
per quarter took place in the value both of red and white
qualities. All descriptions of spring corn were in short
supply, the trade, in consequence, being firm in the ex-
treme at an average improvement of is. per quarter. There
was a fair demand for flour at full the recent advance in
prices. _ _

On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, with an up-
ward tendency in prices. Spring corn is also in request on
higher terms. At New York the trade for wheat and flour
is dull at lower prices, whilst the export demand is ex-
tremely limited. Corn, however, is in demand for export,
at steadily advancing prices. _ _ _

Fresh up to Mark-lane t D-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very small, and the condition of tho
produce varied considerably. Owing to the limited num-
ber of samples on our stands, the small importation, and
the advance in prices in the bountry markets on Saturday,
the trade for all, qualities was firm in the extreme, and a
further improvement in prices of is per qr. was demanded
by factors. At this advance sales progressed steadily, and
a clearance of good and fine samples was effected at a
somewhat early hour.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode-
rate. American produce—both red and white—was scantily
offered, and the show of continental descriptions was far
from extensive. The trade was very firm for all qualities,
and an advance of is per quarter took place in prices, as
compared with Monday last. A fair business was trans-
acted at this improvement. .

Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, at an advance
in prices of is per quarter. Spring corn, afloat, was very
firm, and in some instances rather dearer than on Monday
last.

a slow sale. In linseed and rapeseed sales progress steadily,
at enhanced rates. Cakes move off freely, and prices have
an up ard tendency.

TALLOW.

The tallow trade is quiet to-day, at the late decline in
prices. The quotation for P.Y.C. on the spot is 50s 6d per
cwt. Town tallow is selling at 51s 9d net cash. Rough
fat commands 2s Bjd per Blbs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

BAIL COURT.
SITTINGS AT NISI PRIIIS.

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburne and a Common Jury.)
PARKER V. PAUTILL.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASSAULT.

Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., and Mr. Layton, Q.C., were for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., and Mr. Cole, for the
defendant.

From the statement of counsel it appeared that this was
an action by the plaintiff to recover compensation in da-
mages for an alleged assault, to which the defendant
pleaded not guilty, that the defendant first assaulted him,
&c. The plaintiff was a gasfitter in Great Russell-street,
Coven-garden, and the defendant was landlord of the
Crown and Scepti e, Woolner-street, Poplar. In the com-
mencement of last July the plaintiff with a friend of his,
named Hill, a currier, in business in Great Queen-street,
Long-acre, went in a cab to the shooting ground at Horn-
sey-wood. There was a match going on at the time, and
they went on the ground to see it. Mr. Hill was drunk at
the time, and they went to Hornsey in a cab, and he (plain-
tiff) considered a drive would do him good. He left him
for a short time, and during his absence Hill fired at
a pigeon, which he missed. One of a number of men pre-
sent came up to Hill, and said to him, " I shall trouble you
for the £5 bet you have lost. He denied that he had made
any bet, and the mancried out, "You're a welsher," "Duck
him," and the crowd commenced dragging him to the
pond. In the mean time the plaintiff returned, and
finding the mob ill-treating his friend, ho inter-
posed, and said that his friend was a respectable
man, and never betted. But the crowd continued
to drag Hill to the pond, and he placed himself between
him and the pond, upon which the defendant struck him
twice, blackening his eye and slitting his nose. A police-
man came up, and he gave defendant into custody, and
he afterwards instructed his solicitor to apply to him for
compensation, of which the defendant took no notice. As
regarded Hill, he was pitched head foremost into the
pond, and was nearly drowned before he was rescued.
Mr. Parker, the plaintiff, was examined by Mr. Layton,
and deposed to the main facts in the opening statement
of counsel. Ho denied most positively that he had given
the defendant any provocation. When the policeman
came up the defendant gave him a correct address. It
was a month before he recovered from the effects of
the assault committed on him by the plaintiff.
Some corroborative evidence having been given, the
jury, after some consultation, found a verdict for the plain-
tiff, and assessed the damages at £25.
