LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.-The Cloth Hall has
been well attended, and buyers from Manchester and Bradford
were present. The principal feature of the market was a good
inquiry for cloths at about 4s. per yard. Meltons were saleable
at fair prices, and, with the exception of Tweeds, all seasonable
goods were in better request. Tweeds have been selling at low
prices for a long time, but with the prospect of the war coming
to an end they are not now forced upon the market. Gallipoli
oil is dearer, being now 55 on board. Cotton warps are a half-
penny per pound dearer, and mongoes the same. A good spring
trade in woollens is anticipated, but at present there is a good
deal of excitement with regard to France. The iron trade, both
in Leeds and the neighbourhood, is brisk, chiefly on account of
the home trade. The special tool trade is not busy, but more
old orders of importance are unfinished. An expectation that
more important good work will come to Leeds has not been
fulfilled. Only one firm has anything on hand in connection
with the Woolwich Small Arms Department. Linen manu-
facture is quiet.
DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET, SATURDAY.-At this mar-
ket to-day there was a moderate supply of cattle, but nothing

and in consequence very little business was done. Harley is.,
maize 25., and oats 6d. higher.
READING CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.-There was more
animation in the corn trade this morning, which was caused by
the pacific news from the Continent, and the firm tone of yes
terday's markets. Sellers of wheat asked an advance of 3s. per
quarter, and a tolerable fair trade was done upon the rates of
last week. Barley trade was quiet, and prices nominally the

LAW AND POLICE.

SIR DAVID WILKIE'S WILL.—A petition for the admi-
nistration of the trusts of the will of the late Sir David
Wilkie was presented to the Master of the Rolls by Mr,
Jessel, Q.C.. M.P. The learned counsel said the peti
tioners seemed to be under the impression that a question
of construction arose under the will, but he confessed that
he could not discern what it could be, so that the children
who survived Sir David's brothers John and James would
take the fund absolutely. But a question had been raised
by a relative who was now in Canada as to the legiti-
macy of a deceased daughter of the brother -James,
the lady being one of the class that would take under the
will if legitimate. Questions of legitimacy under the
Scotch law were so intricate, that an inquiry. into them
involved considerable expense, and he was afraid that the
solution of the point in the present case would absorb a
large proportion of the fund. Hpwever, ith wasan neceessary
that the inquiry should be proceeded w d h pro-
posed that there should he a general reference to Chambers
with the view of ascertaining who was the legal personal
representative of the testator. There being no opposition,
his Lordship assented.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—A rule having been granted
by the Court of Queen's Bench against Mr. George
Walker, a barrister, for writing offensive letters to Mr.
Huddleston, Q.C., of the Oxford Circuit, and also Mr.
Harrington, charging them with betraying the confidence
which he had placed in their hands and the interesth
which he had confided to them, Mr. Montague Chambers,
Q.C., on behalf of his client, now retracted any aspersions
or attacks he had made on the honour, character, and
professional conduct of these gentlemen, and hoped the
Court, with the approval of the Attorney-General, would
lallow the rule to be discharged. This the Attorbey-
General consented to, and the Court sanctioned its dis
charge, on the defendant's paying all costs.
ANOTHER DIAMOND ROBBERY.—Leo Ta,nnenbraum has
been brought before the borough magistrates at North-
ampton charged with having in his possession, supposed to
have been stolen, a large cluster of brilliants, four shells of
diamonds, four single brilliants. six single diamonds, and
a gold ring. The diamonds and the brilliants belonged to
the lid of a most valuable gold snuffbox, worth intact
£350. They had been broken from the lid, which was
greatly mutilated. The gold ring, which was set with a
single brilliant, was worth £l2O. The prisoner had offered
some of the property for sale to Mr. Renshaw, a
local jeweller, who suspecting something was amiss,
sent hiro to another jeweller, a Mr. Chesterton.
In the meantime Mr. Renshaw gave information to the
police, and prisoner was apprehended at Mr. Chesterton's
shop. Detective officer Reimers, who attended from
Scotland-yard, said that the snuffbox and the ring had been
entrusted, with other property, to M. Rose, a German,
who had left Paris on the commencement of the war, by
Dr. Simon, whohad also left Paris about the same period,
M. Rose having been a jeweller in Paris. M. Rose, not
being able to speak English, and having made the acquain-
tance of the prisoner, who formerly dealt in jewellery,
they went togother to dispose of them. Prisoner took
N:. Rose to St. James's Hall, where he said he knew a
gentlemad who would buy it. He took M. Rose in at the
Piccadilly entrance, and said, " The gentleman is upstairs ;
I will take him the property, and bring back the money."
He, however, left the place by another way.

A French paper publishes the following cheerful
paragraph :—lt is not aenerally known that the assassina-
tion of Prim is but the° first execution of a sentence pro-
nounced by the secret Provisional Government of Spain,
who have condemned to death the 191 deputies who voted
for the Duke of Aosta.
BREAKFAST. EPPS'S C 0c0.A.. —GRATEFUL AND COM
vonmo.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has
rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette're-
I marks :—" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which
Igovern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a
careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa,
Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors'
bills." Each packet is labelled—JAMES EPPS & Co., Homeo-
pathic Chemists, London. Also, makers of Epps's CacaOine, a
very thin evening beverage.—Advt.
