THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDANIMARCH 31, is4l

tempted to sell the latter by auction in 25 lots, but no pur-
chaser could be found. When the time for the completion of
his purchase arrived the plaintiff refused to complete it,
alleging that he had discovered that Smith was a " puffer" at
the sale, and that he had therefore a right to rescind his con-
tract, and after much correspondence this action was brought.
In order to make out the allegation that Smith was employed
as a puffer, a Mr. Peed, an acquaintance of his, was called.
Mr. Peed stated, that a week before the sale he had met
Smith in Cambridge, and invited him to tea, and that during
the evening Smith had told him "in a very mysterious man-
ner " that he was employed to attend the sale in question,
and that he was to be welt paid for his time and trouble. He
produced to Peel and his family a smart travelling cap, and
asked him "if he did not think it had a very Gurney-like
look." Finding that this nonsense amused the tea-party, Mr.
Smith told him he should wear it when he went to view the
property, and the people at March would be all agog to know
who so opulent-looking a Quaker might be. He Wither in-
formed them that when he arrived at March he should
alight from his carriage at Gurney's branch bank,
where he should ask for change for a sovereign with such
an air that the clerks and every body who saw him there would
infallibly take him for a Gurney. With these and similar ab-
surdities did the Quaker beguile the long summer's eve with his
friends, who looked upon it as a serious intimation that he was
suing to practise them, little dreaming that he was only impo,-
mg upon their good-natured credulity. On the following day
Sir. Smith pursued his journey to March, where his r, spectable
and wealthy appearance caused gr, at commotion. He called upon
the plaintiff's partner, who showed him some of the :cost valuable
portions of the estate, and who asked him if he was one of the
Gurneys, when he said he was not, but that he had married from
Mr. Gurney': house, or something to that effect. At the sale Mr.
Smith again made his appearance, being " the Quaker in the
orchestra " already mentioned; and it was the circum'tance
of his cinstant but ineffectual biddings which caused the ru-
mour of his being a puffer. On his return from Mal ch he
again drank tea with his friend Mr. Peed, whom he amused
with a laughable account of the sensation he had caused, add-
ing, in a whisper, " that the thing had worked well, and the sale
had produced 5,0001. beyond the reserved bids." This also Peed
entirely believed, and in due time communicatedto the plaintiff.
In order to connect Mr. Cutts with Smith fir the purpose of
inducing a belief that the latter had been employed by him, it
was proved that they had had various bikiness transactions
together during the last 10 years, and that a month before the
sale Cutts had drawn a check in his favour for 401., and another
for 341. a week after the sale. Mr. Sandle was not shown
to have taken the slightest part in the transaction, or
to have any knowledge of Smith. On the part of the defen-
dants, it was shown that a Mr. Parkinson was the own..r of
property adjoining lot 50, and very desirous of purchasing that
lot; but that he had employed an attorney at Wistoach in the
matter, and that the plaintiff had declared that " he should
not have the lot, as he went to Wisbeach for his lawyer."
After the disputes between the parties had arisen, the plaintiff
said " he would make the vendors give him Lantern-close
(lot 46) to settle with him," which, hos ever, d d not appear
to have been seriously said. Parkinson and Smith wire both
bidders for lot 50, and such was the excitement and eagerness
as to this lot, that the plaintiff made an advance bidding of
5001. instead of 501., but was allowed by Mr. Cutts to retract it.
After the Counsel for the defence had been heard,

The Learned JUDGE told them that if a person is secretly
employed by a vendor to bid at a sale, not for the purpose of
buying or preventing a sale -at an undervalue, but to take ad-
vantage of the eagerness of buyers in order to enhance the
price, the parties are in point of law guilty of a fraud. His
Lordship recapitulated the evidence minutely and carefully,
leaving it to the Jury to say if they could see any satisfactory
evidence of the conspiracy charged in the declaration.
The Jury retiied, and in a few minutes returned with a ver-
dict for the defendants. _ .

This trial, although the facts of the case were few and simple,
Lasted nearly two entire days. With this case the business of
the Assizes for this county terminated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A NIGHT ADVENTURE ON THE CANAL-Samuel Con-
litf, a stlut and rugged canal boatman,rwas put to the bar
before Mr. Bingham under tt:e following !cher culims
circumstanc..a:—

It appeared from the evidence of William Taylor, a
private watchman at the C.ty basin, City-road, that he
was on duty at one o'clock that morning, when he he..rd
the cries of a woman in distress apparently proceed-
ing from one of the barges on the canal, and on
repairing to the spot he perceived the prisoner leaning
over the side of a barge, and grasping the arm of a wo-
man, who was up to ELT chin is the water. It did not
appear that his object was to save her, fur he was !sobbing
her head up and down in the water, and it was the im-
pression of witness that be intended to drown her. He
imme !lately jumped into a boat and made towards the
woman, and on pulling her out of tho water he found a
long piece of cord tied to one of her arista. Up,:n
her sta'ing that the prisoner was her husband he
desired toe latter to admit her into his barge, but
the prisoner, ai h many oaths, refused to do so
Witness was then about to assist her into the barge, but the
woman saved him the trouble, and sprang on bott-el with
the agility of a cat, after which she dined down through
a hole in the deck, and disappeared. The prisoner, ie the
meantime, was amusing himself by striking right and left
at witness, and the latter finding himself unable to cope
with him single-handed, sprang his rattle, and three or
four policemen of the N division came to his assistance.
After a desperate struggle, thy succeeded in overponer-
ing the prisoner, whom they conveyed to t'-.e station-
house,
Sergeant Clarke, of the N div:sion, stated that the
policemen who boarded the barges were headed by In-
spector Tonge, and they had closed with the prisoner, and
nearly secured him, when he found an unexpected ally in
the person of his wise, who suddenly reappeared
upon deck, and made an impetuous attack upon the
party. She stood up to the policemen like a
man, and knocked them about .6i in the strength
and skill of an experienced priz:-fighter. Police Con-
stable N 53, nearly lost his life in the affray, having
been thrust overboard, but after sinking one!: to the bottom,
he was extricated from his peril/US situation, and dragged,
half-drowned, into the waterman's boat. The prisoner
was very drank, and but for t..e praiseworthy conduct of
Taylor, in the first instaace, both he and his wife would,
in all probability, have been drowned.
Tire prisoner's wife was then called, and, on being de-
sired to give her account of the transaction, she stated
that she was ie bed with her husband in the cabin,
when she recollected that she had left something on deck
which ought to have been put away, and she went up for
it, but whist groping a'rout in the dark she mined
footing and tumbled headlong into the canal. Her hus-
band was awakened by her cries, and he came to her as-
si,tance, but, unfortunately, he was so excessively d unk that,
instead of pulling her forward, he pushed her back, and
with the very best intentions, nearly drowned her.
Mr. BINGHAM slid that the conduct of the watchman
had been highly meritorious, and he should order t' c pri-
soner t p pay a fine of 40'., or be committed to the House
of Correction for six weeks. _ _

The prisoner was locked up, but in the course of the
day his wife contrived to raise the money, upon which he
was liberated.

BOROUGH COURT OF REQ JESTS.

AN IRISH DUEL.—" Potts against
.Mullowny 1"
shouted the crier of the Court, soon aft2r the Commis-
sioners arrived.
" Here's Potts," replied a gruff voice, and immedi-
ately an eighteen-stane specimen of humanity made his
appearance in fiont.
4. Is Mullowny here ?" ilemande I the crier.
" Faith, an' he is there, honey," exclaimed a voice in
the rear of the court.

Crier—" Then why don't you answer to your name
Muilowny—" Maybe, honey, it isn't sich illigant long
ears I've got as yoursel, God help me."—(Laughter.)
COMMISSIONER—WI:at is all this about ?
Mr. Potts informed the Court that the defendant,
Mullowny, had broken two panes of glass in his tap-
room window, the value of which, six shillings, be now
sought- to recover from him.
The CommissioNEf inquired under what circum-
stances the windows were broken?

The plaintiff said that the defendant and a num-
ber of other Irishmen were in the habit of frequenting
his taproom, among whom, of late, many terrible
rows had taken place, owing to their having formed
themselves into two opposite parties, one side
advocating the repeal of the union, and the
other as strenuously opposing it. In one of their recent
brawls., the defendant and another man retired outside
the door, armed with a couple of stout sticks, for the
purpose of settl ng some knotty point io their argument
by means of the said cudgels, arid in the heat of the
contest his two windows got smashed.
COMMISSIONER—How do you know that it was the
defendant who broke them ?
"6 My potboy was outside, and he saw him break
them," replied Mr. Potts.
COMMISSIONER—Now, Mullowny, what have you to
say to this ?
Defendant—Wid yer banner's lave I'll explain to the
koort. tuk a dhrop too much drink whin we got spakin'
iv the rapale iv the union, and while I was telling 'em how it
'ud make ivery Irishman a rale jintleman, an praising up

the blaggard, towlt me I was t.!ling lies to the faca

bout rint thin repale. " Bad look to mee," ses
1, "an is it that what ye mane, Larry ? "
" Sure an it is thin, Teddy Mullowny, " says he
" Thin it's satisfaction I'll bare out iv ye," ses I. Wid
that, yer harmer, we borrowed two cudgels to do the
the thing gintaily, an had a comfortable duel with witch
other."—( Laughter.) •
COMMISSIONER—YOU haven't said a word about the
windows ; how came you to bretit them? You might
oem
have fought your duel without that.
D: fondant—Fait, yer Kanner, I know no more about
snisokfrNsp

The
COMMISSIONER—Whet

This evidence being con,ide ed conclusive by the
Court, Mullowny was ordered to pay Ihe debt and cort.;
lin a month. " The d—l take du-ls and reptile toe,"
out iirrnd the defendant as he lett the Court, "it's a

THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY.

TEA MARKET.

In this market the greatest heaviness prevailed, and although
no further depression of prices could be noticed they were with
difficulty supported. The nearest price of Company's Congou
was Is. 7id. per lb. cash. The deliveries are very large, and
far exceed those of previous years.
'I'ALLOW MARKET.

The mat ket was in a dull st?te, and former rates barely sup-
ported, 455. 3d. was the neare,t quotation on the spot.
WHITECHAPEL HAYMARKET.

The supply of Hay and Straw was good, the demand pretty
fair, rarticularly fur the fine sorts, which met pith a rea iy
market at 5/. per load, but for middling and ordinary quali-
ties of Hay lower terms were submitted to. 01 Clover fine
sorts came scarce to market, and fu!l prices were obtained ;
middling qualities sold at a little reduction in price. Corer
41. 16s. to 6/. Meadow Flay 3/. 15s. to Si.

(From the London New Price Current of March 30.)

S Aa. —The rates previously established have been main-
tained for British Plantation Sugar, and the purchases have
been on a more extended scale for both grocery and refining
purposes, still buyers have operated with caution, and the sales
for the three market days have amounted to only 460 hhds
and tres ; Berbice dry low greyish brown has been sold at
655, strong grey 69; Jamaica good dry brown grainy at 675,
low middling yellow 70s, good middling grey with some brown
samples on the board 71s to 71s 6d, yellow 72;. Demerara
good mid yellow 725, low mid 70s. St. Lucia low yellow 68s
lid Of fine yellow descriptions the supply is very small.
To-day the market for West India Muscovadoes was in a
dull state ; importers displayed less firmness, and the trifling
quantity disposed of by private treaty was rather under the
rates of Friday. At auction 22 hhds 3 tres 202 hrls St. Kitts,
and 6 hhds Berbice were offered ; the former were only
partly sold at 70s to 71s 6d for good greyish yellow, good
yellow 725, low and mid greyish brown 62s to 665; the latter
went at 65s for low dark brown. The total quantity sold to-
day did not exceed 140 hhds and tierces, and the prices taken
wire in most cases 6d under those of Friday.
REFINED.— A good demand has existed for Refined Goods
for h, me use since this day week, and the stocks being small,
the refiners being only partially at work, buyers have been
compelled to pay rather higher rates.
To-day the transactions in Refined Goods for home con-
sumption, were to a fair extent, and prices were firm. Stan-
dard Lumps were with difficulty to be purchased under
49s 6d per cwt, In the lower sorts of Treacle few
sales were made ; but Patent and best old make, &c., met a fair
demand at 36s to 40s. Pieces and Bastards of good quality
were in sti ady request, and prices were firm. Bonded
Crushed Sugar sell slowly at 32s for first quality. Treacle
only in limited request at 14s 3d to 14s 6d per cwt.
sLtui altertionn the Trade operated with eau-
Con, and at the public sales the biddings were languid ;
3,6241 bags 19 casks were offered, a large " proportion was
taken in, the merchants not being disposed to take lower
rates ; the small quantity, however, that was sold went (id
to is under Friday's rates, excepting for the fine yellow sorts,
which brought full prices, fine yellow of favourite marks went
at 78s, Tr id to fine 64s to 765, low brown 45s to 48s 6d, good
mid and good 58s to 62s per owt.
This afternoon the market was inactive for Bengal, and at
the public sales of 2,597 bags the biddings were languid, not
above two-thirds of the quantity offered were disposed of, and
at price§ Qd to ls, under those of Friday, low white sold at
64s to 05s 64, middling 67s to 68s, good middling to good 69s
to 70s, fine and very fine 70s 6d to 73s 6d, damps and washed
05s to 60s per cwt.. For Foreign East India sorts the de-
mand is lira ted, and 1,073 baskets Java 630 bags Manilla at
;lotion went off quietly, the former all sold, but is under pre-
vious rates, good and fine brown went at 20s to 225, the latter
all taken in at 22s for good yellow but soft,
Foaxim—Brazil at steady rates; brown Pernams, sold
for Amsterdam at 2la Odd, one of white Bahia at 25s 3d;
brown Bahia 22s over the ships' side. Brazil taken at
the former value; Bahia middling and good white at 24s
to 265, low soft 22s to 23s 6d, damaged 20s 6d to 23S ;
Brown 20s to 22s 6d, damaged 17s 6d to 19s ; Pernams low
Brown and Yellow 19s to 22s WI damaged 17s to 18s 6d ; Rio,
good mid white 24s 6d to 25s 6d, damaged 22s to 235; Yellow
225; damaged'BroWn and Yellow 17s to 21s. Yellow Ha-
vannah has supported former rates. This afternoon pipes were
maintained.

Tna.—There has been less demand for Free Trade Tea
!since we last wrote, and tite transactions by private contract
have been upon a small scale only in either black or green de-
scriptions. Holders have evinced less firmness, and prices
have given way for all descriptions.
The speculative market has been in a dull state, and prices
have declined to Is 74 for Company's Congeu cash i the de.
lip eries of Tea, however, for home censnmption have been
again good, ar,l during the lao week- amounted to 421,0001 b ;
spicepi parcels been again exported. For auction to-
morrow 4.000 pigs are declared; only one small• parcel has ar-
rived since this day week.
• To-day the Market was in a dull state foil ;fee trade, but
holders were not disposed tq stibniit to iower rates, and it was
difficult to purcha,g eoinneon Oingeti under Is 6id cash. The
transacneng in Conapapy'ir,Ongoil were extreme.y limited, and
tht're were sellers on change at is 7d cash,
COFFEE.— .rites have bee} pagilt,4ipeci to; West India
Coffees argil ho IAWYP T 4411101 from offering any at public
sale, but by Privtee treaty there has been only a limited busi-
ness transapted in clean descriptions, and unclean sorts have
been scarcely asked for. The auctions declared for this week
consist of 250 casks, prices of other sorts ficlirijit4ib_i:f to, con-
sumption, ruling much under these for' West India,
terel4 pperate• Wi3.%*'lolis Market.
This afteiiteini'tfiere was no public' sale of any description,
and by private treaty the transactions were extremely limited
in both East and West India descriptions ; in prices, homer,
