ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

11LR.R&T1' to. 11AiGil,
Lord LANGDILE gave judgment in this case, which arose upon the
circumstance of a will. His Lordship directed a case to the Court of
Common Pleas for the purpose obtaining the opinion of the Learned
Judges of that Court, on the question whether the defendant, Mrs.
Haigh, under the will of the testator, took an interest in certain copy-
hold estates at Holtar.le-Clay, in Lincolnshire.

311 RE V. WILLUMS.—JUDGMENT.
The arguments in this case, which were commenced on Saturday,
having been concluded,
Lord LANGDALE gave judgment. The Bill was filed for the specific
performance of an agreement alleged to have been entered into between
the plaintiff and the defendant en certain terms, was to take a lease of
a house in Conyngharn-place, St. John's Wood. The terms of the
agreement, and the agreement itself, were evidenced by certain corres-
pondence, which was stated in the Bill as originally framed. To that
bill a general demurrer was put in, but the demurrer was over-ruled by
his Lordship, on the ground that it appeared to him, the letters did con-
stitute an agreement. There had been no appeal from that decision, and
the defendant put in his answer, in which he stated that he did not consi-
der that the letters constituted an agreement ; but that if it was to
be held they did constitute an agreement he had a right to contend
he entered into it under circumstances which would induce the Court
to say it ought not to be specifically performed. His Lordship was not
disposed to say the defendant had not a right to adopt that course of
proceeding which, by his answer, he had adopted ; yet it was again
bringing under the consideration of the Court the validity of the judg-
ment on the demurrer. If the defendant were dissatisfied with that
judgment, he could have appealed, or obtained a re-hearing. His Lord-
ship had, however, considered those letters again, with a view of dis-
covering, if he could, whether the judgment which he pronounced
two years ago in this case was erroneous, and nobody would be more re-
joiced if he discovered he had fallen into an error, to have an opportunity of
correcting it ; but after again examiningthose letters with all the sate
he could, he was still of opinion those letters did constitute an agree-
ment—an agreement clear and distinct in its terms—an agreement
understood by both parties—and such an agreement as the Court was
bound to see carried into effect. His Lordship was of opinion the de-
fence set up altogether failed—that there must be a specific performance
of the agreement—and that the defendant, who had occasioned the•
whole of the expellee, must pay the costs of the suit. Ho was vet)"
sorry there should have been so much litigation on a matter of so little
importance as this was to the parties. well

THE MARKETS.-(THT,S DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Considerable quantities of all kinds of Grain, also of Flour, arrived-
here last week, and the trade generally experienced no change frcrot
the preceding Monday. This morning there has been a deficient
supply of Wheat, and of other articles there are only moderate grin
tities fresh up. The millers readily took off all the good samPlo e„
Wheat at full ls. per quarter advance on the terms of last. Man"':
and other sorts maintained their value. Barley for maltiv.g meets
good demand, other kinds sell slowly at formes prices. Bearcs„ lif °d.,
are rather dear. Pease of both descriptions remain as last, iceport.e_,
There continues a good demand for Oats, principally frfiy.n
buyers, and this article as well sustained the terms of this day se'lfaiVro
During last week there was very little trade for Fl,our, as the I",s
would not comply with the advance in price, but today Wheat "e
ing
dearer, the millers are very firm in their demand.,.
