BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

TII QUEEN V. WAK LEY, 31. P.-CRIMINAL INFORMATION

THE LATE MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW.

Mr. AN AnnEN applied for a criminal information against
Mr. Wakley. M.P., coroner for Middlesex, for various libels
uttered by him at public meetings, especially at the Craven
Arms, reflecting on Ihe professional and moral character
of Dr. Warren, with reference to his conduct and evidence
at the recent inquest at Hounslow, held on the body
,of
private White, of the 7th Hussars.
The various libels were then read, with which the public
are already so familiar, that we deem it unncessary to repeat
them.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE refused the application.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
JONES V. JONES.
In this case the rule was made absolute, to set aside the
verdict entered for the defendant, as being a perverse verdict.

COMMON PLEAS—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Bar:co.)
EDWOOD V. WARD.
Mr. SYMMONS applied to the Court to postpone the hearing
of the above cause, unlit an action in the Queen's Bench, of
Hooper v. Lamb, had been decided. The action in respect
of which he now moved, was against the I rovisional com-
mitteemen of a line of railway, for work and labour done by
an engineer.
It appeared that the case of Hooper against Lamb was one
similar in its nature to the present, and therefore it was
urged that it was desirable to await the decision in that case.
The COURT allowed the case to stand over until the sum-
mer assizes.

WRIGHT v. Tuirrox.
In this case a destringas was applied for against the de
fendant. The affidavit upon which the motion was made
stated that it was found impossible to serve the person of the
defendant with the summons of the Court, and that on
various applications at the residence, and also at his place of
business in the City, the bailiff was unable to serve
the defendant, and that on two occasions when he went
to his country residence he was answered from the window
by his son. The baliff then pushed a copy of the writ under
the door.—Motion granted.
No other case possessing any public interest occurred dur-
ing the day.

favourable aspect.

the home trade to purchase Refined goods of any kind. The
quantity on offer is much larger than of late. Bonded
crushed Sugar is little wanted. There is a fair quantity on
