NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MARCH 24.

Our supply of Wheat was moderate at Market to-day from the
growers, but we had fair coasting arrivals, and the trade ruled dull at
similar prices to last Saturday. In the ♦alue of Barley we can note no
change though the arrivals this week have not been large. Oats were
in fair supply, and the whole cleared off at our last quotations. Rye of
the best quality met a good demand at late prices, but inferior samples
were exceedingly dull. Malt is still a heavy sale, and our quotations are
with difficulty realized. In Beans and Pease there is no matrrial
change. The arrivals of Four rather exceed the demand, and last rates
are scarcely maintained.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, Mknoll 3C.

There is again a ►arge ai rival of Wheat and Barley at Wakefield this
week from other quarters the supply of Wheat is trifling, but of
manufactured articles it is pretty liberal. The trade has been quiet
durlng the week, and prices have undergone little or no change.
Liverpool and Wakefield were both firm yesterday, but the business
doing was limited. At our Market this morning we had a fair inquiry
for Wheat, and Flour at prices fully equal to those of last week. Oats
are in some instances held for an advance of Id. per bushel, but there
is not much done in them. Oatmeal as last quoted. Good dry Beans
and prime Malt in fair request. Other articles without alteration.

?ETV MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

The Number before us contains a portrait of Captain
Chamier—who shows a very frank, gallant, sailor-like
front—and is accompanied by a brief memoir of this popular
naval novelist. The " Gurney Papers," which are continued
as usual, are entertaining, but they are too much spun
out, as if Mr. Thecdore Hook were beginning to grow
weary of his subject. " Life let us cherish," is an inge-
nious essay, written in a cordial, sunshiny spirit, that re-
minds us of Leigh Hunt. " The Romance of a key-hole,"
contains many clever, satirical personages. The idea is an
excellent one, and is clearly and distinctly worked out. Ali.
Jerrold has penned few better tales than this, certainly none
so exemplary, as far as mere manner is concerned. It is
superior to any of the sketches in his lately published
Men of Character." The " Female Portrait, Gallery" is
by Miss Landon. It is an analytical notice of Scott's
" Alice Lea," and in the course of which the authoress
makes some touching allusions to those heavy sorrows and
distractions which clouded the last days of Sir Walter
Scott. She also bears generous testimony to the character
of the late Mr. Constable, whom she represents as a man
endowed with many sterling qualities both of head and
heart. In the " Manager's Note Book" we have pleasant
biographical recollections of Toni King, the comedian, who,
as our grandfathers assures us, was the best Lord Ogleby
that ever trod the stage. " A Discourse on Bores" con-
tains an admirable anecdote of Morton, the dramatist,
which we subjoin, for we have not met with it before :

" M-, the dramatist, was once met in St. James's Park by Fitz-
gerald, the poet, of ' Rejected Addresses' celebrity. My dear M-,'
cried Fitzgerald, were you at the Literary Fund Dinner yesterday ?'
No,' replied M--. Then you did not hear me recite my poetical
,ddress ?" No." You are a lucky fellow in meeting me now,' cried
F., for I happen to have a copy of it with me. Here it is, and I'll re-
cite it to you at once.' At your peril, Fitz,' said M---; I have
pistols in my pocket.' This may serve as a passing specimen of the
Literary Bore.

THE MONTHLY LATV MAGAZINE.
Maxwell.

With such members of the legal profession as boast of an
attachment to Conservative principles, this periodical will
not fail to be an especial favourite. The Editor and Con-
tributors are out and out Tories—adorers of judicial mys-
tery, delay, and uncertainty, and double and treble costs. As re-
gards ourselves,we like them the better for the manliness with
which they avow their opinions. The most useful portion
of this Magazine to the legal student, is the abstract of the
Bills passed through Parliament during the month, and the
epitome of those on the tables of the two Houses. The
article on the education, association, pursuits, and profes-
sional conduct of the Bar, is the only one not of a partizan
hue in this Number. We recommend it to the notice of
every young Barrister.

PUBLIC SALES OF TEA.

This morning these sales, consisting of 176,424 packages, containing
12,554,522 lbs. of Tea, of all descriptions, commenced at the London
Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane. There Wu 3 a goad attendance
of the trade, but up to the time we went to press they did not mani-
fest much disposition to purchase, and the buyings in were ♦ery con-
siderable, the importers seemingly decided to support the market. The
quantity put up is a very large one, being aiout three times as much as the
East India Company were in the habit of putting up at one time.
Nothing like all the quantity is expected to sell ; but the inspection
which the commodity undergoes previous to the sale, facilitates the
purchasing of it, between the close of one great public sale and the corn-
menc3ment of another, by private contract. It is yet too early in the
sale to speak decidedly as to the exact prices at which the little that
sells is disposed of ; and at present this consists chiefly of what are
called odds and ends. The sale will last many days.
London, England, 1838-04-02

PROVISION MARKET.

Business is ♦ery limited, and the only demand appears to be for fine
descriptions of Irish Butter. Prices of Butter, both Irish and Fo.
reign, are looking down ; prices of other commodities appear ilLm.

HOP AND SEED MARKET.

Red Clover Seed in brisk demand, and the total advance since this day
week is from 7s. to Ss. per cwt. ; other kinds of Seed unaltered. Hops
continue to command fully as high prices as previously.

TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. is flat, at the lower price of 14s. 6d.
CANADIAN PRODUCE MARKET.

This market is how flat for all descriptions of produce, and prices
are inclined to look down; Baltic produce, on the contrary, with the ex.
ception of Tallow, is firm.

THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE. Mitchell.

We cannot speak in anything like rapturous language of
the pleasure we derived from glancing over the April Num-
ber of this Periodical. The articles are sufficiently nu-
merous and varied, but there is not one of them to which wo
can point as indicating more than an ordinary share of
common-place talent in the writer. The critical notices are
the best ; but the spirit in which they are written is not at
all to our taste. There is a dogmatism, and an air of pe-
dantry on a small scale about them which betrays a judg-
ment anything but nature, and a spirit anything but sa-
tisfied. We may add, that having augured well of the

" National Magazine" on its first appearance, we are equally
vexed and disappointed that more has not been done to sus-
tain our first favourable impressions. The illustrations are
two in number, and they are spiritedly conceived, and
well executed.
London, England, 1838-04-02

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
HUDDERSFIELD.—Buyers hang fire, and the majority of
manufacturers stand firm in opposition to the prices tendered.
Woollens of every description were heavy of sale, and the
few sold did not realize good prices. The light fancy trade
exhibits more favourable symptoms, especially in waistcoat-
ings. Wool may be quoted a shade lower, which was attri-
buted to the unfortunate error of last Saturday's report. There
is little probability, however, that wools will fall materially.
BRADFORD. —We have had another heavy Piece Market.
We cannot report any improvement as contrasted with last
week ; nor on the sales effected is there any material altera-
tion in prices. There is little or no alteration in the Yarn
market ; certainly no improvenn nt. Buyers are reluctant to
purchase at the price asked by the spinners, and the latter
being indisposed to ask less, fire determined to do less till the
price of yarn is more determined, or the price of wool admit
of a reduction in the price of yarn. In the Wool market the
sales are more limited than for some time past, which, with a
better supply, has produced another slight decline. Fine
Matchings and fine Hogs continue more in request than other
sorts, and from the best information we can get, there is a
little more confidence manifested on the part of staplers, who
are acting under the impression that the prices of wool will
not conic down.

HALIFAX.--We had but a dull market for pieces. The
merchants buy sparingly : the prices arc, we believe, a shade
lower. There has been but little business done in yarns, and
that little at lower prices. Wool is rather lower in price this
week, and not much business doing ; middle wethers are sold
from 141. 10s.

RoennALE.—Our market still continues dull, very few
buyers attend to-day (Monday), and consequently very little
business was done. The few sales which were efrmted were
chiefly in middle and fine qualities, and at a trifling reduction
in the prier.

WAKEFIEED —We cannot notice anv improvement in the
state of the wool market ; things continue extremely dull,
and, as a necessary consequence, prices of both lung and short
wool rather give way.
.MANCIIESTER.—_The market here continues in precisely the
same state as for some weeks past. The demand fur yarn is
limited, and the prices exceedingly &pressed ' • but a fair
business has been doing in most descriptions of goo3s, and
prices continue steady. —Manchester Guardian, Wednesday,

so much satisfaction to the public, has completely recovered
from his recent long and serious illness, and will immediately

pepper, Cassia Lignea, :Nutmegs, and Cloves. No Coflle or Rice.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(SATURDAY.)

(From our Second Edition of Saturday.)
HULL

The Committee met at eleven o'clock, when the examination of
Mr. Moxon was again proceeded with. He stated, after considerable
hesitation, that he kept the accounts at the Shakspeare, and made
some payments, but not until after the election. The only payments
he cou'd recollect were for broken windows and flag.staffs and colours.
He paid the money out of hie own pocket. The only money which he
was repaid was IN. by Mr. Clifford Pease. On the morning of the
election a breakfast was given at the Shakspeare, of which the canvas.
sera and runners partook. The breaktast was ordered by himself, but
he had not yet paid for it, nor had he been applied to on the subject.
if Mr. Allinson had applied to him, he should have referred to the
General Committee in Scale-lane. He had heard of a steamer being
victualled from the Shakspeare, but did not know anything of it person-
ally. Jacob Sissona went to the Committee-room, and had his name put
down. He was not employed by witness that he was aware of.
Mr. Thomas Todd, engraver, examined by Mr. WOOD, was Clerk for
the !lumber Ward Committee at the last election. Mr. Ullathorne was
Chairman and 3fr. Moxon, Deputy Chairman. After the election was
over two non-freemen were paid in the room. They were employed as
runners. Another person was employed, named Croft. He is a free-
man. The day of the election was a day of tumult altogether.
At about a quarter past three Mr. Hill began to sum up the evidence,
submitting that this was such'a case of treaty as constituted bribery, and
therefore that the vote of Jacob Sissons ought to be struck off.
The Learned Gentleman had not concluded his address at four o'elock,
when the Committee adjourned.

THE FESTIVAL AT THE GUILDHALL,

In the evening the Banquet-rooom in the Guildhall was
crowded to excess by a highly intelligent and respectable body
of persons, fully one half of which were ladies. At half-past
five Mr. Vincent entered the room. The whole company simul-
taneously rose and received him with the most enthusiastic
cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The company then
pu-took of an excellent tea ; after which Mr. PHILIPS was
called to the chair. The evening was then passed by ad-
dresses and democratic sorbs. Mr. Vincent delivered one of
the mcst eloquent addresses to the men, and ladies we ever lis-
tened to. He favoured the company with a democratic song,
"Plant, plant the tree." After speeches fr:un the Bristol w- 1
Trowbridge friends, Alderman Crisp, &c , the assembly broke
up at a late hour.
Thus ended a day which will never be forgot by the people
of Bath, in which principle and social feeling were enjoyed in
the highest degree.

GUATEMALA.

(Extract from a Private Letter.)

Since my return to this country, I found all in revolution.
Galvez was overthrown by Barrundia and Molina, and now
all are against the present State Government—with Pedro
Valenzutla as Vice-Chief, supported by his friends Barrundia
and Molina, who must all fall. Morazan (lalc President) is
in Mataquescuintla, with about 2,500 men, to attack Carera,
who heads a band of rebel Indians; to-day they fight. We
shall have a change of Government, perhaps centralism.

FRENCH SAVINGS' BANKS.

The annual meeting of the Directors of the Savings' Banks
was held the day before yesterday. M. Benjamin Delessert,
the President, made his report on the state of the Bank cf
Paris, and gave a summary of the operations of those in the
Departments. It appears that the total receipts of the
SaVings' Banks of Paris during the year 1837, amounted to
26,398,266 f., and its re-payments to 25,920,7021., leaving
an excess of receipts 477,5631., which, added to the total
of deposits in the Bank at the end of 1836, gives a total
due to depositors of 50,686;611f. The expenccs of the
Bank during the year amounted to 67,0921. The large
amoant of the repayments made in 1837 is accounted for by
the panic that existed in March and April, when the deposits
were transferred to the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, the
sums repaid during those months being 5,455 f. and 5,809,0001.
respectively. A recapitulation of all the operations of the
Paris Savings' Bank, from its foundation, November 15,
1818, to 31st December, 1837, shows that its total receipts
and profits have been 166,627,3881., and its repayments
115,940,7771. The number of depositors at the beginning
of 1837 was 80,798 during the year 27,769 new deposits
were made, and 23,689 depositors paid off ; giving at the
end of 1837 as the total of depositors, 84,878. The total
number of savings banks established in the departments
is 247. The total of their receipts and profits from 1818
up to the end of 1836 has been 88,362,399 ; of their repay-
ments 42,449,626 f. ; their receipts during 1837 were
33,708,4751. ; their repayments 23,043,1851., giving for
1837 an excess of 10,665,2901., and leaving on the total sum
due to depositors 56,578,0631. The number of depositors at
the beginning of 1837 was 96,542 ; the new deposits for 1837
were 58,546 ; the depositors repaid amounted to 29,522, leav-
ing for the end of 1837 as the total of depositors 120,466.
The average amount of each deposit in Paris is 597 f., in the
departments 470 f. Comparing the populations of towns with
the amounts of deposits, the average at Paris for each inhabi-
tant is 551. ; at Versailles, 80f. ; at Toulon, 67f. ; at Metz,
561, ; Brest, 56f. ; Lorient, 561. ; Bourdeaux, 47f. ; Nantes,
361 ; Rouen, 23f. ; Marseilles, 191. ; Lyons, 14f, There
are five departments in which savings banks do not yet exist,
viz., Creuse, Lozere, Ilautes Alpes, Basses Alpes, and Cor-
sica, nor are there any in the considerable towns of Aix,
Aries, Vienne., Narbonne, Riom, lssoudun, Moissac, Ville-
neuve, d'Agen, &c. After hearing the report from the.com-
mittee of censors, M. Joseph P6rier and ;NI. Locquet were
chosen to the same office for the year ensuing.
M. Blanqui, Director of the School of' Commerce, has
been elected a member of the Academy of Moral and Politi-
cal Sciences.

WINDSOR-TUESDAY.

.3.
The Queen arrived at the Castle at quarter past six
terday evening. Her 'Majesty was accomp;,lnied by her Roya
Highness the Duchess of Kent, and attended by the Count
tees of Mu] rave and Lady Theresa Digby. In the suae o-
f
her Majesty, which occupied four carriaffes, were the Mar
quis of Conyngharn, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Lilford,.
Hon. Miss Paget, Hon. Charles Murray, Lady Flora Ha.s-s5"
tiugs, Hon. Colonel Cavendish, Hon. Miss Dillon, All
Davys, Col. Wemyss.
Viscount Melbourne also arrived, and accompanied the
halt"
Queen to the College„this morning, and from thence to
Hill.
Her M.ijesty was not present at the Eton regatta, wijcl,ll
took place last night, and which was most numerously ap.
brilliantly attended. The weather was favourable both for
me'
boating and fireworks, as but one shower fell during the even"
e
m
ing. The company present included a great portion of th
aristocracy, and all the nobility and gentlemen in the neig-
bourhood, besides an innumerable concourse of persons ut
, tracte d by the triennial fete of the Montem, whick took plae°
this day, favoured by weather and every other circumstance.

SPIRIT MARKET.

There is a fair business doing in Rum generally—Proof Leewards, 2s.
Bd. ; other kinds as before. The stock of Hum is §',661 puncheons,
and 1,036 hogsheads. Nothing fresh in Brandy, Corn Spirits, or Ge-
neva, and not much doing in them.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

Business resumed this merning for the first time since the holidays,
and as the sales announced of the primary commodities were rather large
there was some little stir amongst the brokers and dealers. The
market, it will be remembered, left off firm. The first sale was of
4,915 bags Manilla Sugar, the bulk of which was bought in at prices
much above the value of the commodity owing to the firmness
of importers. There were also sales of 130 hogsheads of
Barbadoes, 1,100 bags of Bengal, and 7,713 bags of Mauritius
Sugar. Also of Coffee 811 bags Ceylon. 6d. duty ; and 359 casks Bd.
tish Plantation ; 1,300 packets of East India Rice. Some Ginger and
Pimento. The Rice sold quite as dear before, we should say rather
clearer. We quote the whole of the Raw Sugar market firm ; and
also the Coffee market. In fact, Ceylon and British Plantation went
rather dearer. Other articles presented nothing for parlicuiar remark.

The imports today were rather light up to the time of our going to
press. For tomorrow, the sales arc 5,000 bags Mauritius; 760 Bengal;
11 chests Havannah Sugar. Of Coffee—Soo Ceylon ; 210 casks and
200 bags British Plantation; and 220 of Brazil; 000 bags Bengal
Rice and some Spices.

COMPANY

The Bill in this case was filed by Lord Kensington, pursualit to ar_
rangement between the parties, for the purpose of having the opinion of
the Court whether Lord Kensington could, undo' the powers ok` the
deed by which he held certain property, which he had sold to the de.
fendants, the Company of Proprietors of the West London Cemetery,
make a good title to it. Power was given by the deed to the
Noble Lord to sell the property where it was required for a railway OT
canal, or any undertaking authorised by Parliament. In the present in-
stance, although the Company was authorised lq Parliament, yet as it
could not be said that the property was required for the pur_
poses of the Act, but that other land, situated in the neigh-
bourhood, would answer the purpose, it was supposed, on behalf
of the defendants, that that circumstance would prevent the Noble
plaintiff from making a good title. In addition to this, the agreement
for the purchase was made before the Act of Parliament passed.
Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE appeared for the plaintiff, together with Mr.
ROMILLY ; and Mr. Jncoa was Counsel for the Company.

The VICR-CHANCELLOR was'clearly of opinion that Lord Kensington
could make a good title to the property, but if the defendants wished it
he felt himself bound in justice to direct a case for tke opinion of a.
Court of law. •

The case was then ordered to stand over for a few days, upon the un-
derstanding that if the defendants did not ask within that time for a
case, then the opinion expressed by his Honour should be considered
binding.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The brig Louis has arrived at Havre, sailed from Montevideo on the
20th February. She brings accounts that commerce was in a state
of stagnation there, owing to the great ravages committed in the country.
It is stated that when Rivera appeared before Monte Video with twelve
hundred men, and afterwards retreated, it was only to obtain ammuni-
tion. He had sent a flag of truce to the Vice-President, who returned
it without an answer. It is generally believed that Rivera is disposed for
peace, and will retire if they turn out. The French Consul at Buenos
Ayres having had a dispute with the Governor demandLti his passports,
and has retired to Monte Video, where he expects every day
,the ar-
rival of Admiral Le Blanche, commander on the Brazil station.

CONCEALING A WILL.-THE QUEEN V. SPENCER.

Mr. CRISSWELL applied to his Lordship for a writ of
certiorari to remove into this Court an indictment that had
been preferred against the defendant at the Quarter Ses-
sions for Northallerton, Yorkshire, charging him with con-
cealing or destroying a will. The indictment was for the
misdemeanor only, although in the margin it was described
as one for felony. The indictment was for an offence which
until the passing of a recent statute was a capital felony,
and was one that, from the nature of it, ought not to be
tried at a Quarter Sessions, but befote one of the Judges
of the superior Courts.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause.
London, England, 1838-11-22

PIKE V. ROLFE.

Mr. BANKS moved to—make arule absolute for a new
trial in this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Park
on Saturday week, verdict passing for defendant, who did
not appear. The rule was obtained by defendant in person.
Mr. PETERSDORFF showed cause against the rule. The
action was brought against the defendant as the acceptor of
a bill of exchange. The defendant had stated that the
reason why he did not obtain the rule to stay the proceed-
ings before the trial was, that he had not discoV'ered till the
evening previous to the day on' which the cause came on
that plaintiff was prisoner for debt in Kilmainham gaol.
He applied for and obtained the rule Nisi on that day, and
apprehended that he was thereby exonerated from appearing,
so that the cause went undefended.
The COURT said it was the defendant's fault that he had
misapprehended the rule Nisi as a rule absolute, and the
rule must now be discharged.

ICE.—Winter is setting in rapidly. The weather,
during the week, has been extremely cold ; and ice, of con-
siderable thickness, has appeared en the surface of the
ponds in the vicinity of the town. We are sorry to state,
that, with the advance of winter, the necessities of the poor
are increasing. Scarcity of work and the dearness of provi-
sions seem likely, in conjunction with the inclemency of
the weather, to make the season an extremely trying one to
the industrious classes.—Liverpool
COMMITTAL OF ANOTHER OF THE EDGEWARE
SWINDLERS.—A man named Hobbs, residing at Fulham,
was yesterday committed for trial by the Edgeware Magis-
trates for aiding and abetting the gang of swindlers recently
sent for trial by the same gentlemen. The accused had
been in the habit of A' ouchinfr for the respectability of his
(onfederatos when they wished to get possession of houses.
'Three cases were clearly made out against him. The de-
predations committed by the gang have been very extensive.

PRATT V. STAILING.

Mr. -- showed cause against a rule which had been
obtained for changing the venue in this action from London
to Worcester. The ground on which the rule had been
obtained was, that the question to be tried was an agricul-
tural question, and could better be tried at Worcester by
a country Jury, than a London Jury, composed of shop-
keepers. To this it was replied that the witnesses resided
at Shipstone, a place 35 miles from Worcester, and there
being no direct conveyance between those places, whereas
from Shipstone to London, a distance of 85 miles, there
were daily direct conveyances: that the inconvenience
would be greater if the cause were removed to Worces-
ter, than if it remained in London. And further, that the
Juries at Worcester were often composed of shopkeepers ;
and the Jury in this case would probably come principally
from Shipstone, and would, therefore, be probably preju-
diced.

The COURT were of opinion that the cause would be bet-
ter tried by a Worcester than by a London Jury, for that
there was at least more likelihood of the Jury being com-
posed of farmers in the first case than in the latter, and the
Court had more than once felt the inconvenience of having
agricultural matters decided upon by a Jury of London
shopkeepers.—Rule made absolute.
London, England, 1838-11-22

Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.

EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.—WiIIiam Harrington, John
Setford, and Martin Katin, were yesterday placed at the
bar charged with swindling.
The office was literally crowded with tradespeople who
had charges to prefer against the prisoners.
Amongst the many cases heard was the following :—Mr.
Henry Urch, saddler and harness-maker, No. 86, Long-
acre, proved that the prisoners Norrington, Setford, and
Katin, the latter officiating as groom, drove up in a cab to
his shop, and Norrington stated that he was in want
of a cloth for his horse and a handsome driving-
whip ; both were chosen and put into the cab.
He then inspected others, which witness informed him
had been made for Sir Vincent Cotton. The prisoner
replied, " What do you work for Sir Vincent ? I
know him very well ; I'm quite intimate with him ;" and
after describing the excellence of Sir Vincent's horses, his
stables, &c., desired that a set of horse cloths and harness
to match with Sir Vincent's might immediately be got
ready for him. He then left, and on the following \ morn-
ing Katin, his groom, called on horseback, and directed that
the goods which were to have been sent to 19, Park-road
might be detained until Norrington called, and added that
he had been ordered to choose a riding-whip for himself,
which he did. Witness believes Setford was the person who
remained in the cab.

The prisoner Norrington declined making any defence,
as his solicitor was not present. Setford declared he was
not aware of the actions of Norrington, and Katin said he
was acting under the instructions of his master.
___

The whole of the prisoners were remanded till Wednesday.

THAMES- OFFICE.

Yesterday two girls of the town, named Griffiths and
Henley, were brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr.
BRODERIP, on a charge of wounding a female named Maria
Williams, in a very serious manner.
It appeared in evidence that Griffiths beat her over the
head and face with her pattens, and inflicted two deep
wounds on her forehead ; and while she was bleeding pro-
fusely, Henley, with her clenched fists, beat her over the
face and body in a most savage manner. The husband of
the prosecutrix hearing the cries of his wife went to her
assistance, and saved her from further ill-usage from the
two furies, who were given into custody. The woman's
head was dressed by a surgeon. It had been cut to the
bone in two places, and th hemorrhage was excessive.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he believed they would have
killed each other if they had not been disturbed.
The prisoners were then committed to take their trial at
the Clerkems ell Sessions.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

V ICE-CHAN CELL OR' S COURT, Nor. 21.
NANNEY V. WYNNE.

There were two suits instituted in the name of an infant,
and the question upon cros motions was which of the two
suits should be allowed to proceed. The late Rev. Mr.
Nanney, a gentleman of large fortune in Wales, devised
his real estate to his son, the infant, John Nanney, in strict
settlement, with a great number of remainders over, and be
gave the guardianship of his son to his brother, Sir William
Wynne, the Hon. Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn, and
Mr. E. J. Stanley, the Secretary of the Treasury, and he
appointed the same gentlemen his trustees and executors.
One bill was filed in the name of the infant by Robert
Fisher, a solicitor of Shropshire, his maternal grandfather ;
but before any progress had been made in that suit another
bill was filed, in which the infant, by Mr. W. Bulkeley
Hughes, M.P., as his next friend, and several other par-
ties interested in remainder under the will, were made co-
plaintiffs. The latter suit had the sanction of the guardians,
who seemed desirous to act in accordance with the wishes
of the testator, as expressed before his death, to exclude
Mr. Fisher from any interference with the estate. Answers
were accordingly put in to the latter bill, and a decree was
obtained before the long vacation.
Mr. Wigram, Mr. Jacob, Mr. Duckworth, Mr. Purvis
Mr. Bethel, and Mr. Dixon appeared for the different
parties interested in the second bill.
Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE and Mr. LOWNDES supported Mr.
Fisher's application.
His HoNotia thought the second suit was so constructed
that the solicitors, who were most honourable men, might
have to struggle with a difficulty which was said to be in-
superable—namely, to serve two masters. Some of the co-
plaintiffs might in the course of events have interests ad-
verse to those of the infant. He thought, however, the
difficulties might in a great measure be got rid of by re-
moving Mr. Hughes as next friend in the second bill, and
substituting Mr. Fisher in his place, with a declaration
which Mr. Fisher had indeed requested to have added,
that neither he nor his sons should act as solicitors in the
business.
