LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.---The business

a very active demand daily, the sales ranging from 6,000

is this week -Id. per lb. on American,-441.' to id. on Surat,
and 4d. to Id. on ; Egyptiatrand Sea Islands
have been more looked after, and some parcels of the
latter, we suspect, taken on speculation. The causes
which have induced so large an extent of business are the
improved state of trade and the assumption that the crep
of the United States will be much less than that of 1839.
The latter cause appears to be the most speculative,
although opinion as to the extent of the deficiency is vari-
ous, being from 250,000 to 550,000 bales. Speculators,
under this influence, have taken 13,000 bales of American,
6,500 bales of Surat, and 600 Bahias ; and exporters
4,000 bales of American. The sales to-day were about
6,000 bags.

made to them for relief. The number of deaths has also

ROLLS'COUR.T.-(THIS DAY.)

JUDOMENT.—ItIFDERMANN V. SEYMOUR.
The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment this morning
upon a question whicis he had reserved for consideration,
namely, whether certain real estates devised by the testa-
tor in the cause to his heirs-at-law, were to be taken as
assets for the payment of debts in priority to the real
estates devised by the same will to other persons. His
Lordship was of opinion that although the creditors had a
right to resort to the estate which had descended to the
heir in priority to the other estates, yet that the heir would
be entitled to contribution from the other devises in pro.
pot tion to the extent of the debts.

PLATT V. ROUTH.
HIS LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, in which
a question had arisen respecting the amount of probate and
legacy duty, payable on the property bequeathed to Judith
Judith Ann Platt, 40,000/. 31 per cent. reduced annuities
had been carried over to an account, intitled " The Claim
of Probate and Legacy Duty Account," and a case had
been submit ted for the opinion of the Judges oF the Court
of Exchequer, with whose certificate both the Attorney-
General who claimed the probate and legacy duty on the
Part of the Gown, and the party interested under the will
were dissatisfied. The Judges having decided partly iu
favour, and partly against each,
ILs LORDSHIP c,nfirnied the certificate, and di-
rected a reference to the Master, to ascertain the amount
of duty payable in respect of it.

ATTORNEY.GENERAL V. DULWICLI COLLEGE.
The arguments of Counsel in this case were then re-
sumed, but not finished, at the rising of the Court.

VICE-CHAN CElty.-(THIS DAY.)

IN THE MATTER OF A WARP-ADAMS V. NIXON.
Mr. K. BRUCE said he had an application to make in
the case of a ward of rather a singular nature. No peti-
tion had been presented, and therefore he was obliged to
make the application in the nature of a motion. From the
instructions he had received, it appeared that the young
lady, who was a ward of that Court, had gone a short time
since on a visit to a respectable family, about eight or nine
miles from town. During that visit an acquaintance and
intimacy took place between one of the sons of the family
and the young lady. It was fair to state, that though
there was great inequality between the parties in point of
fortune, there was none in point of station. It seemed,
however, that without the knowledge of the young gentle-
man's family the parties were married in the parish church
of the place where the friends of she young gentleman,
who was a Lieutenant of the line, resided. The parties
whom Mr. Bruce represented did not; at present be
lieve that the father and mother of the young gentle-
man knew anything about the matter, but it was sup-
posed one of the brothers did ; and what he
had therefore to ask was for an order directing the sup-
posed husband (for he believed it must be considered the
marriage was legal) and the ward, together with the bro-
ther, to attend the Court upon a cortain day. The Learned
Gentlemen did not apprehend the Court would in the first
instance direct the clergyman to attend.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Why not? It appears to me
there is a great laxity on the part of clergymen in these
marriages.

Mr.-K. BRUCE observed that the case in the present in-
stance was very singular. The marriage was by banks in
the parish church where the family of the young man
lived, and it was therefore rather extraordinary that the
father and the mother knew nothing about it.
The VICE CHANCELLOR thought the case so singular
that he should require the attendance of the clergyman, as
well as that of the brother, the ward, and her husband, at
10 o'clock on Thursday next.
Mr. K. BRUCE said that they could not serve the ward
and her supposed husband, personally, because they did not
know whore they were. His clients had thought that the
young lady and gentleman had gone to Scotland, but,
singular to relate, it appeared that they were quietly mar-
ried within 100 yards of the place where the parents of the
young gentleman resided.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR then ordered the clergyman,
the brother and the two young delinquents to attend him in
his private room on Thursday next at ten o'clock.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTY OF

DERBY.

This was an indictment against the defendants for not
repairing a bridge over the river Trent, for which it was
contended the county was liable. The jury found a ver-
dict for the Crown, subject to the opinion of the Court
upon a case stated.
Mr. 'Mum' URST appeared in support of the indictment,
and described the structure, which was somewhat peculiar.
It consisted of a series of 42 arches, connected by two
continuous walls throughout its entire length. There
were first five arches under which the Trent flowed; after
an interval of some 80 or 100 yards, there were 29 arches,
under the greater portion of which there was generally:some
standing water, and then, after another space, there were
eight, arches, under which there was flowing water. The
bridge had all been built at the same period of time, and
the county bad been in the habit of repairing the entire
structure. In the present caw: they had put the five
arches through which the Trent flowed into repair, but as
regarded the remainder they contended that they were not
liable, it not being a bridge within the meaning of the
Act. The Learned Counsel having referred to several
authorities in support of the indictment,
Mr. WILMORE was heard on behalf of the defendants.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
CASE OF THE SHIP DRYAD.

THE QUEEN V. P. S. WALLACE. AND M. S. S. WALLACE.
This case, in which a rule had been obtained, calling on
the prosecutor to show cause why the defendant should
not be biougbt up by habeas corpus, or otherwise dealt
with according to law, and why the proceedings before the
Magistrates should not be removed into this Court by cer-
tiorari, came on for argument this morning.
Mr. JERVIS and Mr. C. PIIILLIPPS appeared to support
the rule, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. CLARESON,
Mr. BODKIN, and Mr. LAURIE, to show cause against it.
The affidavits, which were of great length, having been
read,

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that in opposing this ap-
plication it was not his intention to enter into the merits of
the case, so as to prejudice the prisoners when they should
come to their trial. Could it be said that these persons
were not legally in custody? There were warrants against
them. Patrick was legally in custody on 12th November,
and on that warrant he had been since remanded. Michael
had been apprehended, while endeavouring to escape, and
on that he had been since remanded. On the 14th Ja-
nuary another warrant had been issued against them, which
would, lie supposed, be admitted to be valid. If the Court
should be of opinion that they ought to be immediately
tried, the Court would commit them, not discharge them.
Mr. Justice WILLIANIS—No doubt, ii a warrant is bad.
yet if there should appear on the depositions cause to send
them to trial, the Court would commit them.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought that, looking to the
circumstances of the case there was quite sufficient to send
them to their trial. The offence with which they wore
charged was a felony, punishable with transportation, and
if such an offence had been committed, it Was of the ut-
most importance the parties should be brought to justice.
There were insurances to a large amount effected by the
prisoners on goods shipped on board the Dryad for Cuba.
These goods were never shipped. An attempt was made
to cast the ship away on the coast of Hayti; she is sub.
sequently lost on the coast of Cuba; large sums of money
are paid for the insurance, and these sums are traced into
the hands of prisoners ; one of them leaves his place of
business in London, and is found iu a sea-bathing village
in Lancashire. The fact:of the ship being cast away could
hardly admit of doubts and he thought sufficient had
been shown to put these parties oil their trial.
None of the facts stated in the depositions were
denied in the prisoners' affidavits, and, therefore,
the only ground of the application could be the delay which
had taken place, and some irregularity in taking the depo.
sitions. Now no irregularity in taking the depositions
could entitle the primers to their discharge. The ques-
tion was whether there was not reasonable evidence given
upon oath suilleient to warrant the putkg of these indivi-
duals on their trial. There could be no reason for dis-
charging them under these circumstances, and admitting
any irregularity that might have taken place, how could
that entitle them to be admitted to bail ? The only re-
maining point was the delay, and he contended that not
an hour of unnecessary delay had occurred. It had been
discovered that a seaman who had been on board the
Dryad was now on board one of her Majesty's ships in the
Mediterranean; application had been made to' the Ad-
miralty, a special messenger had been despatched after
him, and he was now on his return to give evidence.
What reason had these individUals to complain. It the
offence had been committed in the country, they would not
have been tried until the Spring Assizes. Nuw, what
ladies or delay could be attributed to the prosec'utor. They
certainly ought not to have been disc,hargo'.3a—it would have
been unsafe to commit them for trial, unless they had ence of the
110 pro-
have been imprudent a
unsafe to admit th to bail.
On these grounds, Le submitted there
was noe rm eason for
this application.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin followed on the same side,
and Mr. Laurie on behalf of the remanding Magistrates.
Mr. huts replied.
Judgment postpcned till Monday.

COMIVION YLEAS.-(•PHIS DAY.)

HARRISON V. GOODWIN.
This was one of the important cases lately tried in this
Court, relating to the liability of administrators to the
covenants upon the estate to which they administered.
The action was brought to compel the defendant, as ad-
ministratrix, to effect repairs, under a lease held by the
testator, whom she represented. She pleaded first—bent
administravit ; second, that she had not administered
upon the conditions of the lease ; and thirdly, that
the testator had died inFolvent, and left no assets
out of whiob the conditions of the lease could
be fulfilled. Upon the first and third pleas the
Jury found for the defendant ; and last term Mr. Sergeant
Bompas obtained a rule nisi to set aside this verdict, and
enter judgment for the plaintiff upon the second plea, on
the assets quando accessit—(that is, to the amount of the
assets of the testator, at the time of the administration)_
Mr. Peacock showed cause against the rule on the 23,1 of
November last, when the argument was adjourned.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD this day showed cause agait
at
the rule, and contended that the plea in question was frail:
made out in the evidence that the defcbdant refused to
adminster until she was persuaded to do so by the plaintiff,
who solemnly promised that if she did so, for the purpose
of facilit.ting his recovery of certain claims upon the estates ,

he woul:1 not attempt to enforce against her the
tion• of the lease in question.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THISII

CLARK V. THE EARL OF HARRINGTON.

Mr. KELLY (with whom was Mr. Cockburn) al
for a rule nisi for a new trial in this caw, which 01.
before Mr. Baron Rolfe yesterday, wlveri a voftlic:o
found for the plaintiff, damages 1411. 15s. The Lel
Gentleman said it was a verdict which reflected 10010
credit upon the administration of justice, and ho vol:0
nishod that twelve gentlemen could be found to en
it. The evidence was that Colonel Lincoln Steal/
been wishing for some years to dispose of 10
House, and, as usual, it was put down in the 0
of many house agents, and among uthets info!,
of the plaintiff. By the death of the Conibyi
.
1840, the house became the property of the n-,,d
lendant as heir-at-law. He also was anxious to dud,
of the property ; and the plaintiff wrote to ifro
particulars, which were furnished to him and,
others by Colonel Leicester Stanhope, all
their own applications. In May the Colonel ell
into negotiations with Mr. Ogle, as Counsel for the 1
of Civil Engineers, and eventually, in July, 1840,
sold to that body for 9,0001. It appeared tn
plaintiff had given a card to view the house tot
Clark, the Secretary to the College, and, - A
one or two other parties; that was all he bad evevi
yet he sent in his claim for 10s. for registering 11
perty, although that was at his own request, and 140
for commission upon the 9,000/ , for which the pro 4
sold by the brother of the defendant. If the plainuPl
recover this demand, then the 20 others who upog 0
own request had been furnished with particullitd,
equally entitled, but he was certain such an my
claim could never suc?.eed.
