SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
STOKES V. THOMPSON.
EVERY MAN HIS OWN LAWYER.—This was an acti°l
bought against defendant, as the accuptor of a bill ,°
exchange :or 191. 10s. Defendant pleaded non-assuinP94'
A witness was called who proved defendant's signaturf;
Tare defendant said he did not deny his signatures bil;
he had not understood the case; he meant to deny t1:63"
the plaintiff had ;..iveri money for the bill.
The Learntd SECONDARY said it was a great pity
de-
fendant had not consulted an attorney; for, according,e,
'"
C'e plea, he (the Secondary) could only inquire into tn,
fact of whether defendant had accepted the bill, and tbz'
was now admitted.
'lnc dekiidant said he had been kept from doing eel
thing more than lie had done, as he considered the trans'
action illegal.
The Learned SECONDARY said he mint direct the jail
to give a verdict tor the amount claimed, but the delery
dant could move in arrest of judgment.
A verdict was then given for the amount claimed.
DETENTION OF THE JURY.—There was a second Ca S°,
a writ of inquiry, but the Sorties were not in attendarc.e.
Learned t,EcoNnaitv said lie was sorry that 1210
could not discharge the jury, but by the general law the

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during
the present week coastwise, have been confined to 1,050
quarters. By land carriage very fine samples have
reached us. The supply on offer here to-day was very
limited, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce, owing to the rapid progress making in the
fields and the prospects of large imports from the Baltic,
was in a very inactive state, at barely Monday's quoit':
Lions. From abroad we have received 7,190 quarters ot
Wheat. Selected samples were generally ',Fla
at full currencies ; but all other qualities
ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. No-
thing cluing in floating cargoes. Notwithstanding,
the show of Barley was small, that article was slow n:
sale, and the turn in favour of the buyers. We had
only a retail inquiry for Malt and previous prices vvOe
not easily obtained even for th.l finest quality. Owing
to the small arrivals, Oats were firm, and 6d per quarter
higher than on Monday. New grey Peas were is lower'
Beans ruled heavy. Indian Corn, Meal and Flour
without alteration.

`She supply of Beasts on otter in to-day's marked
being limited, and the attendance of buyers on the ill:
create, the beet trade was sot:iamb:a active, at in mos;
instances, an advance in the quotations of Monday la"
of 2d per 81bs, the prirnest Scots readily producing 45
per 81bs. With Sheep we were scantily supplied, al
citric of year considered. Prime old Downs moved od
freely at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. In
other breeds a steady business was transacted at volt
full prices. Lambs were in moderate supply and stela/
r€quest, at fully previous currencies. There was a Orli
sidrrable falling off in the supply of Calves. The Veal'
trade was steady at extreme quotations. Pigs rula
dull, but we cannot call them cheaper. Mulch Cows sold
at from 14/. to 18/. each, including their small calf.
