CORN-EXCHANGE—IVIONDA Y.
Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, the
rivals of English Grain of all descriptions, for our market
,t 8 week, were on a very limited scale. Those of Flour,
isewever, INere somewhat on the increase, particularly from
4e.x. No Oats came to hand from Ireland ; while the
tleppts from Scotland were unworthy of notice. The receipts
u foreign Barley—upwards of 12,000 quarters—were liberal ;
t those of all other articles were unimportant. Fresh up
to'eleY, only a moderate supply of Wheat of home produce
m lae to hand ; but its quality was extremely good. On the
w e_ole,the show of samples was limited ; yet the demand was by
as
_, means so active as for some time past ; notwithstanding the
attendance of both town and country buyers was rather
4tunerous. Although a total clearance was effected, the

it i 3 pretty generally understood Government is about to
*flow the use of Molasses in the various breweries, we had
a „_lrerY slow inquiry for all kinds of Barley ; hence, in some
`143e., s.the value of that grain had a downward tendency. The
°"eiv of foreign samples was good ; but of English, the sup-
ti was very scanty. The same causes which operated upon
hhe,,Barley trade, had considerable influence upon that for
alt, which ruled dull ; yet we can notice no decline
the quotations. Scarcely any fresh Oats were

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE SPICER AND POULTON.

To-day was appointed for these bankrupts, who were
paper manufacturers at Alton, Hants, to pass their last
examination.
Mr. WILKINsoN tendered a proof on a bill of ex-
change discount, d by a Mr. Cunliffe, of the firm of
Cunliffe and Co., bankers and brokers. It was drawn
by the bankrupt Spicer, and addressed and accepted by
a person named Ward, indorsed by Spicer to the firm
of Spicer and Poulton, and discounted for them by Mr.
Cunliffe, who now sought to prove under the separate
estate of Spicer, and also against the joint estate.
The SoLlcrrort to the assignees contended that the
holder of the bill could not prove against both estates,
but must make his election.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said that if a person was
liable, both as an individual and also as a partner, there
was no doubt a claim against him in both capacities.
Mr. WILKINSON said it was clear that in an action,
brought against Spicer, he could not plead in abatement
and a joint action would also lie.
The LEARNED COMMISSIONER did not see how one
claim merged in the other. The discounter comes to
prove having advanced money on th 9 bill to the firm ;
with recerence to Spicer and Poulton, Spicer is only a
security.
Mr. WILKINsoii said Spicer was not only the drawer
but indorser in his individual capacity.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, having Icoked over se-
veral cases, said that they went to show that when there
Has a claim against two estates the claimant was driven
to his election.

Mr. WILKINSON said he was aware that there were
several cases to that effect, but he was not aware of one
to the present point. In this case there was no privity
between Mr. Cunliffe and the parties—no joint dealing,
or cross aceount—but the bill was discounted on the
faith or the security by the names on it. It was not to
be assumed that he was aware that Spicer was one
of the firm ; but, on the contrary, it was more likely he
would be considered a relative. The bill had been dis-
counted in the ordinary way of business.
_ _

Te Learned COMNISSIONEA said that altered the
case.

Mr. WILKINSON said he was quite willing to prove on
the separate estate, without prejudice to any claim on
the joint estate hereafter, ai it was a case of very great
importance, and should he discussed when all parties
were prepared to argue the point and obtain a decision.
The Learned Commissionza said there could be no
objections to such a course.
The last examination was adjourned for further ac.•
counts.
