MARKET NEW DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having
been again very moderate, the show of samples here to-
day was small. Although the attendance of both town
and country buyers was by no means large, all kinds of
Wheat of home produce commanded a very steady sale,
at fully Monday's quotations. The imports of Foreign
Wheat have been large, and of full average quality. In
this article only a moderate business was doing, at late
rates.. With Barley we were rather heavily supplied ;
however, sales progressed slowly, and, in some instances,
the currencies had a downward tendency. Malt met a
very inactive demand, and late rates were barely sup-
ported. Oats, Beans, and Peas were heavy, but not
cheaper. Indian Corn and Flour steady, at full prices.

Notwithstanding our market was seasonably well
supplied with beasts as to number, the Beef trade was
steady, and Monday's quotations were well supported in
every instance. The primest Scots sold at from 4s 101
to 5s per Sibs. There were on sale 233 Beasts, 770
Shrep, and 6 Calves, from Holland and Germany. The
numbers of Sheep were small, yet tfie inquiry for that
description of stock was in a sluggish state, at barely
stationary prices. In Calves a firm business was doing,
and the best qualities of Veal were rather higher. The
Pork trade was firm, but we can notice no improvement
in value. Mitch Cows were heavy at from 141 to 1715 s
each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP IVIARKET.

Although we cannot call our market brisk, the amount
of business doing in the best hops is improving, and the
late advance in toe quotations is well supported. The
middling and inferior kinds—the supply of which is
good—on a slow sale, at late rates. The following are
this day's'prices :—New Hops: Sussex Pickets, 2116 s to
3155; Weald of Kent, ditto, 3/ to 31 10s; Mid and East
Kent ditto, 31 5s to 5/ 12s per cwt.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
THISELTON V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY

COMPANY.

This was an action to recover damages under the fol-
lowing circumstances :—The action was brought under
an Act known as Lord Campbell's Act, whereby the
relatives of persons killed through negligence or acci-
dent, are entitled to recover damages by civil action.
The plaintiff in this suit sued as administrator of his
wife, Mrs. Mary Thiselton, deceased. The defendants
at first pleaded that they were not liable, as the
accident by which the deceased met her death was
on works proceeding with under contractors—the plea,
however, was withdrawn, and defendants admitting
their liability. This was an inquiry to assess damages.
The partiEs, however, had come to an arrangement,
and a verdict for 2001. was taken by consent-1001.
being apportioned to the plaintiff, and the other 1001.
to the three children.

A discussion arose as to the form of drawing up
the postea,
The Learned SECONDARY observing that it was a
novel case, and the Act was faulty, and must be
amended, as to the direction of the division of the
property.
The Solicitor to the Company said that in fact the
contractors were the defendants, who would have to
pay the money, although the company felt they were
legally liable. He wished to state that the accident
arose from some of the timbers of an arch forming
over one of the streets in Bermondsey having been
knocked away by a cart, but the coroner's jury, after
a very patient inquiry, had returned a verdict of
accidental death, and that no blame was attributable
to any party ; he, however, regretted to say that
another person besides deceased met their deaths.
The Learned SECONDARY asked if any arrange-
ment had been come to as to costs.

The Solicitor to the Company said that they would
pay all the costs, even those of the letters of admi-
nistration.
A verdict for 2001. was then entered.
