COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS BAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
PitITCHITT V. SMART.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES said he had to apply to their
Lordships fur a rule to show cause why the plaintiff
should not produce to the defendant a broker's book.
This was an application under the Stock jobbing Act
(7th George 11 , cap. 8). It appeared from the affidavits
that this was an action on a bill of exchange, and that
the plaintiff was the indorsee and a stock-broker in the
eity of London. The defendant was acceptor as be-
tween the drawer and acceptor of the accommodation
bill. The Bth section of the Stock-jobbing Act prohibits
the buying and selling stock of which the parties are not
actually possessed at the time of the contract, and also
imposes a penalty ol 1001. on the broker negotiating such
a contract. Then it provided that every broker should
keep a book, which should be called the broker's book,
in which he,,ras to enter all contracts and agreements
that he made, to the intent that such broker should
from time to time produce the same book or register.
(The argument was proceeding when our report left.)

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
WAItLEY V. HEALY.

It will be recollected that this was an action brought
against the defendant as proprietor of the Medical
Times, for a libel published in that paper reflecting upon
Mr. Wakle3's conduct with reference to the inquest
upon the body of the private, James W bite, who it was
alleged died in consequence of receiving 150 lashes at
the Hounslow Barracks, in July, 1846. It was tried be-
fore the Chief Baron, at the last sittings after term, at
Westminster, when the jury found a verdict for the plain-
tiff—damages 3501.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS now moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict should not be set aside, upon the
ground of misdirection; and secondly, of excess of
damages.
The Comm' granted a rule upon the first point, stating
that when the case came on for argument they would
then have an opportunity of ascertaining how many
pleas of justification had been proved, and of estimating
whether or not the damages were excessive.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE end a Bench of Ma
gistrates )
_ ._ _

The April adjourned sessions were opened this morn-
ing, at the Court-house, Clerken well-green. The num-
ber of prisoners is only sixty-nine.
A man of respectable appearance, named Edward
Morton, whose bail was last session estreated for non-
appearance to prosecute in a case of felony, in which the
prisoner was charged with stealing the prosecutor's
watch, now presented himself, attended by a solicitor, to
apply to the Court for a remission of the penalty.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that he could afford no
indulgence to a person who had acted as the applicant
had done throughout the case. From the depositions
now before him (the Learned Judge) it was quite clear
to him, that the grand jury would have found the bill
if it had not been for the misconduct of the prosecutor;
who came into court in a state of intoxication, and was
locked up for twenty-four hours before he was in a fit
state to go before the jury. But that was not the
worst of it. For, upon his own affidavit, now presented,
in support of the application for mitigation of the fine,
it appeared that, on the evening before the sessions,
he had been drinking with the prisoner, who was then
out on bail, and that in consequence of the latter's threat
to bring an action for false imprisonment, Morton net
only consented to permit the bill from being found, but
actually gave the other party money.
The SOLICITOR, who spoke in a low tone, was• under-
stood to represent to the Court that the friends of the
other party had laid hold of Mr. Morton, end having
made him drunk, intimidated, or persuaded him to a
course which he would not have taken if he had been
sober. The bill was thrown out, not on account of any
variance in his evidence from that taken in the deposi-
tions, but because the jury considered him to be still
labouring under the effects of intoxication.
The COURT would not consent to remit the whole of
the penalty, but would take time to consider what miti-
gated flue should be inflicted under the circumstances.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
estimated at 6,000 bales, and include 1,000 on specula'
tion. The market closed rather tame, but prices were
firm at Friday's quotations.—Railway Shares were heallt
with scarcely any business doing.
The ship and foreign accounts received to-day have
been of no general interest, and in the City matters are
rather dull, not much activity prevailing in the markets
for produce.
Rather an increased number of bargains having 9f
late been effected in United States Government Securi-
ties, it may be useful to refer to a brief statement con-
corning the New York Market, and which is a°
follows:
" It appears by a comparative table of prices, that
most of the Securities have depreciated in market value
within the past two weeks; but as this is to be Attri-
buted entirely to the depression weighing upon the
Money Market, it cannot be otherwise than temporary;
and we have no doubt but that quotations above those,
previously current will be realised as soon as that relief
in financial affairs is experienced, which we have good
grounds for anticipating. We have from titre
to time given the progress made by the Legisla•
tures of the States in relation to the public debts or
financial affairs of each, so that our readers are pretty
well posted up upon all such matters. Nothing, bov"
ever, of importance has transpired calculated to change
the complexion of matters connected with the finances
of our indebted states. The progress each is making
under tie operation of existing laws has beet
sufficiently satisfactory to all interested. The advance:
ment has been slow and sure, and that is the ben
evidence of its sound and healthy character. The roPlu
increase in the value of taxable property, not only
our new, but in our old States, will work wonders la
the treasuries of each; and we consider the fact that the
rate of taxation for the payment of interest on the PO'
lie debt of each State is as high now as it ever will he'
We see no possibility of a relapse in the payment, er
danger of falling back into delinquency."
The balance of the public money remaining in elle
British Exchequer on the sth April, 1848, was 6,768,33 t
and on the sth inst., 7,453,611 i, and the deficit on t""
year was but 269,377/. By a little perseverance on the
part of the new Financial Reform Associations,
we may soon expect to hear of a large surplus, and a°
ex[ation should be spared until this desirable end is tie.;
ccmplished, since the expedient of raising small loans
neither creditable nor sound.
At the East India House to-day votes of thanks have
been passed unanimously to the Governor- General, to
Lord Gough and to the Indian army, for their services
in the recent military operations in the Punjaub. 4
