MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having
been en a very moderate scale, the show of samples of
abtthat
grain here, to-day, was small. Although the
itttendance of buyers was by no means extensive, the
ilihe etaa
dntd for all descriptions was very steady, at fully
Onay's quotations. The best qualities of Foreign
a moved off steadily, at very full prices. In the
middling and inferior kinds, next to nothing was doing,
at late rates. With Barley and Malt we were scantily
supplied ; nevertheless, the sale for those articles was
Inactive, at barely stationary prices. The supply of
Oats being very small, the Oat trade was firm, and, in
80 some instances, the currencies had an upward tendency.
Beals, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal, were dull, but not
cheaper. Most kinds of Flour were steady, at late
rates.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
ELLIOT V. EVE.
Sir J. BAYLEY moved in this case on behalf of the
plaintiff and his attorney, Mr. Chapman, on affidavits,
for a rule calling upon the plaintiff's former solicitor
to show cause why he should not refund 291. 9s. 6d.,
which the plaintiff contended his misconduct had
compelled him to pay. It appeared that the authority
of the attorney ceased in March, but that on the 6th
of May following he, without the authority of the
plaintiff, took out a rule to discontinue. The result
was that judgment was signed, and the plaintiff was
compelled to pay the above-named sum. There was
no order, however, for a change of attorney.
The learned JUDGE granted the application.
THE BOROUGH OF SUNDERLAND.
Sir F. KELLY moved for a rule calling upon the
corporation of this borough to show cause why cer-
tain orders made by the body for the payment of
several sums of money out of the rates of the borough
should not be brought up on certiorari, and so much
of them quashed as the Court might think fit. This
(the Learned Counsel said) was an application, under
the 7th Will. IV., and the Ist of Victoria, which
empowered this Court to bring up any orders for the
Payments of money out of a borough fund, and to
quash them if the Learned Judges thought that they
Were illegal. Sunderland came under the provisions
of the Municipal Corporation Acts, and the watching,
lighting and cleansing of the town was vested by the
Commissioners in several Acts of Parliament, extending
from the time of George the 11. up to the present
time. In 1846 the corporation took the management
of the funds raised by rates for this purpose out of the
hands of the improvement Commissioners, and trans-
ferred the management of them to a body called
the Local Trusts' Committee, a Bill was
introduced into Parliament to legalise this; but after
Passing through several stages it ultimately failed,
although various attempts had been made to get it
re.committed. The expenses thus incurred amounted
to between 1,0001. and 2,0001., 1,5001. of which in
three payments had been made by the corporation to
the local committee to discharge a portion of those
expenses. Now he contended that this conduct was
clearly illegal. Under the 12th section of the Reform
Act the fund was made applicable for certain pur-
Roses only, and if there was any surplus it was to be
todeted to the public benefit; therefore the application
Parliament had nothing more to do with this Act
• than the building of a church. They had as much
right to build a church out of the rates as to institute
such a proceeding, for this local body was not recog-
nised
by the Municipal Act. The town was properly
provided, and hence this was an extraneous and WI-
Proper proceeding.
Application granted.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
The Court intimated this morning that as it was
probable the sittings to-morrow would not be entirely
ecuPied in hearing cases of appeal under the Regis-
Wtration of Voters Act, that being the day appointed
° the purpose, the bar were to be prepared to go on
it the new trial cases and the other ordinary busi-
'leash of the term.
coN° eases of any general interest were heard by the
urt during the morning.

MCONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
„A jury was called this day, and in consequence of
ge'eral who were summoned not being in attendance,
attend
summoning officer intimated that if they did not
. the next occasion they would be fined. A
zit Jury having at length been called into the box,
tiffattorneys or witnesses were present. The plain-
then' who resides not far off, was waited on, and he
the stated that the case was " settled." This was
lenond time the jury had been called and not
til4rit.ed, and is of such frequent occurrence, that
the Aries complain of the unnecessary trouble, for
they
are not paid for their attendance in such cases.
