MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
This week's arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise as
well as by land carriage, have been tolerably good, yet
the show of samples this morning was small. The finest
qualities sold without difficulty at fully Monday's quo-
tations. In the middling and inferior kinds next to
nothing was doing. The imports of Foreign Wheat
have not exceeded 4,120 quarters, almost wholly from
the Baltic. Very few .transactions took place in any
description, at about stationary prices. For all kinds
of Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, the
demand was in a very sluggish state, at last week's de-
pression in value. The Malt trade ruled excessively
heavy, at a'most nominal currencies. Oats were very
dull; but we have no further decline to notice in their
value. All other Grain, including Flour, moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
BRITTLEBANK V. lIARDY.

This was an action to recover 281. 13s. 61, the
amount of an attorney's bill of costs.
Mr. BROOMFIELD, the solicitor to the plaintiff, said
that the plaintiff was an attorney at Ashbourne; but a
difficulty arose in consequence of the clerk to the ondon
agent having died.
The Learned SECONDARY said that although the de-
fendant had suffered judgment to go by default, yet it
would be necessary to prove the payment of the sums
charged, as they were not taxable items.

M. BROOMFIELD observed that there was strong pre-
sumptive evidence of the payment, as 61. Bs. 9d. was the
taxed costs in an action in which the defendant was the
plaintiff, but had stayed proceedings, and unless he bad
authorised the payment of the costs an execution would
have issued against him. He would prove the signature
of the deceased clerk, who wrote to say how the action
stood.

The SECONDARY said it was unusual to swear an
attorney as a witness after he had addressed the jury..
The Foreman said that it was singular that no reeopt
had been taken.

The SECONDARY said it appeared to be a harsh prin'
ciple of law to reject evidence in a case where defendant
did not attempt to deny the debt. As to 2/ Is. of the
claim for money paid, there was no evidence, and be
would leave it to the jury to say whether they were
satisfied as to the 61. Bs. ed., but he was inclined to the
opinion that plaintiff could only recover 181. 17s. 2d., the
amount of the taxable items; he would, however, make a
remark on his notes, of which plaintiff might have a cop);
and perhaps the taxing-master on evidence being adduce('
before him, would increase the verdict in the same mew
ner as he did for noting a bill of exchange where
evidence had not been given at the trial.
Mr. IhtoomaxELD said that he did not think the ta%"
ing-master could take notice of the Learned Secondary'
recommendation.

The Learned SECONDARY left the case to the jury,
found for the amount claimed, less 21.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. WITHIst, Chairman.)
John Rogers and John Smith, youths of nineteen year
°
of age, and of respectable appearance, were indicted for
stealing a pair of boots, value seventeen shillings, fromthe shop of Mr. Edward Tombs, of Eagle-street, ,
lington, bootmaker, under circumstances of rather $
novel character. The prisoners ostensibly obtained
.11
living by hawking sealing-wax, and in the pursuit of till+
vocation they visited the shop of the prosecutor, in which
his daughter, an intelligent young girl, was attending'
Rogers gave her a note, addressed to Mr. Tombs, se'
she went up stairs to give it to her father. Whilst Miss
Tombs was out of the shop, Smith was seen by Mr'
Scott, a tradesman living opposite to the prosecutor, to
take the boots in question from the door. When Oil
were walking away Mr. Scott communicated what be
saw to Mr. 'Tombs; the prisoners were taken into cur
tody, and the boots found in the possession of Smith.
It was attempted by the counsel of Rogers to discos'
nett him from the theft, and to fix it as an independent
action on the part of Smith, but the jury found then
both Guilty.
Mr. Lockyer, one of the principal officers of the,
House of Correction, stated to the Court that he should
be able, by the next sessions, to communicate to the
Bench information respecting the fraudulent practices of
the prisoners, which would materially influence the
judge in passing sentence, if that were respited to allo"'
him time.

Judgment was accordingly respited till next sessions.

PARIS AND LYONS RAILROAD.
The first section of this railroad, from Paris t°
Toonerre, was opened by the President of the Repub.'
lie on Sunday last. This line, both from the nature
and extent of its works, and the interesting localities
through which it passes, merits a few lines of detail'
especially as to the traveller and the tourist it offers
facilities not hitherto possessed. The Paris and LYens.
