PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

WOOD AND OTHERS, V. GOODLAKE.
The arguments in this long litigated cause were resumed
this morning before the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, when their. Lordships heard Sir Frederick Pollock
on the part of Mr. kitchens, one of the next of kin of the
testator.

The Learned Gentleman contended that it was the duty
of the other executors, when acquainted with the circum-
stances, to have told Mr. Chadwick that his conduct had been
so strange, so irregular, and so unprofes,ional, that they could
not consent to be even tacit parties to: it, but would impound
the document, and tae' the opinionof this Court whether or
not under the circumstances, it was entitled to probate.
The arguments which contained no new features of public
interest, were proceeding when we to press.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The Sessions terminated this morning at ten o'clock. The
Court was occupied in passing sentences on the several pri-
soners remanded during the sessions.

other qualities sold slowly at no improvement. Barley, Beans,
and Peas as last reported. The Oat supply exceeded the de-
mand, and to make sales 6d. to Is. per quarter reduction was
was taken. The Flour trade very heavy, the bakers showing
no disposition to purchase, except for their immediate wants.
