MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DA

CORN E XC HAN GE—WEDNESDA- Y •
Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market this week have been on a very moderate scale,
and the show of samples to-day was small, the demand
for all kinds was much less active than on Monday,'
nevertheless, that day's prices were mostly supported
tiz
the few transactions which took place. Upwards of
13,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived since
Saturday. Fine dry parcels sold at full
middling and inferior qualities were neglected. With
Barley we were scantily supplied, yet the trade was dull,
at barely stationary prices. Malt was a very slow sale,
but we cannot report any further decline in the quota
Prices, but the
Lions. Oats were in moderate request, at full prices'
some;
Beans, however, might have been purchased on
what easier terms. Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, bora
sack and barrelled, were quite as dear.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE W. WILSON.
This insolvent, who had carried on business as a
baker in Bermondsey-street, came up for final
order, and was opposed on behalf of a creditor named
Foresight for a fraudulent disposal of his property.
The insolvent had taken the business and fixtures tot
751., for which he gave three bills of exchange, bu.t
before they became due he petitioned this Court;
t
was urged that this was a voluntary act on the part
of the insolvent, amounting to fraud, as by.the agree-
ment he had undertaken to give up possession of
thet
fixtures if the bills were not duly paid.
His he could not consider that
Rany case of fraud existed; the insolvent had taken legli
means to relieve himself of his debts.
The Solicitor for Mr. Foresight said that the
messenger had not seized the property as
to the insolvent, but as property belonging

done his duty if he had not taken possession of all

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) „,„
The Court did not sit to-day, principally fromh
being the long vacation ; but the operation of te
County Courts Act has considerably curtailed thie
business. On the last sitting of the Court the Learnot:
Secondary observed that the City County Court Mk
would shortly come into operation, and the ordinal
cases would be tried in the Sheriffs Court. The
jury, however, would be required, in cases of writs
of inquiry above 201., but to prevent unnecessary
trouble the jury would have notice when their at-
tendance was necessary, without having to attend on
the fixed days.
CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice
W.)
THE MURDEROUS ATTEMPT IN MARX
ILLIAMS '
LANE.
The trial of John Ovenston, Mr. George Crawley,
an upholsterer, for fe-
loniously discharging a pistol at
in Mark-lane, a short time since, and afterwards
fat-
tempting to shoot himself, stood first on the
paper or
trial to-day, but at the sitting of the Court
Mr. CLA.RICSON applied for the postponement of
the trial till the next session. The grounds on which
he made the application were, that the solicitors fort e
prisoner, in consequence of the circumstances that _
d
taken place, were ,not in a condition at the presen. t
moment to defend the prisoner. The prisoner, va.
consequence of his attempt to shoot himself, had not
been expected to survive till a short time ago, and it
was not until the 15th of the present month that Way
in a condition to be brought before the magistrate added
to this, the Learned Counsel had an affidavit wh
fore
if he was allowed a short time, he could lay be
the Court, stating that if time was given the solicitors
for the prisoner would be able to prove that at till'
time the act was done the prisoner was not in
state to be considered answerable for his actions.
Mr. RYLAND, who appeared for the City to pro-
secute, said he had no instructions to resist such art
application.
Mr. Baron PLATT thought the case was one in
which the solicitors for the prisoner should have an
opportunity of making an affidavit stating the grounds
on which they applied to the Court for the postpone'
ment of the trial.
In a short time afterwards the affidavit was pro"
duced and read to the Court.
Mr. Baron PLATT granted the application for the
postponement of the trial till next session.
The prisoner on being placed in the dock appeared
in a most exhausted state, and several times cast his
eyes wildly about the court. On entering and re-
turning from the dock the prisoner was obliged te be
assisted by the officer. g
