BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

We have no new feature to notice in this market. The
best Kept bags continue to move off steadily at full prices.
In other kinds of Hops very little is doing.

WOOL.
Although the period for holding the next public sale of
Wool is not yet fixed, and the imports during the past week
have been on a very limited scale, the demand for all kinds
rules heavy, yet we can notice no material alteration in
prices.

TALLOW.
This market keeps pretty steady, and although there may
have bean during the past week one or two parcels sold at
from 3d to 6d per cwt (for cash down) below our quota-
tion, yet we believe fine Y.C. suitable for the best
purposes of the trade cannot be had under 435. Town Tal-
low 43s net cash.

QUEEN'S BENCII.—HIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hall.)
BODHORE V. BUTTERWORTH.
From the statement of counsel, it appeared that this
case was an application for a new trial of a question as
to the infringement of a patent. The trial took place at
the after sittings of last term, before Mr. Justice Wight-
man. It appeared that the plaintiff had invented certain
very material and important improvements in the ma-
chinery for cleaning, carding, roving, and spinning
eotton and wool, by a process called " surface motion,"
a system totally unknown before, particularly in coiling
and uncoiling. The rinoipal novelty, as stated in the
specification, consisted in the winding of the cotton or
wool on the rollers by the motion of the rollers them-
selves, described already as " surface motion," instead of
the motion dependent on the motion of the roller's axis
as practised in machines hitherto is use. At the trial
the jury found a verdict for the defendant in two issues,
and they were discharged in the other. And the pre-
sent application was for a rule to set the verdict aside,
upon the grounds, which were stated at great length by
the Learned Counsel, that the inventions of the plaintiff
were bona fide and of the greatest possible importance to
the public. The case was entered upon at the sitting of
the Court, and some very beautiful and elaborate models
wererlaoed before the Bench, which the Learned Counsel
explained the operation of with great particularity.
(The case had not closed when our report left.)

damages for the injury he had sustamee,

of which the plaintiff claimed the fee simple. t
was situated on the borders of Waltham F°reus;bri
it was contended on behalf of the defendant that P,40
been guilty of no wrongful or illegal act, in so fet?
had been licensed by the Crown to hunt, fish, an' ofr
in and about Waltham Forest, and as the close in_q„J
tion was portion of that forest it was the proPelli
the Crown and not of the plaintiff, and the t_,
down of the fence was justified by the royal Inie
The plaintiff, on the other hand, denied that tilee
tbm
hold of the close was in the Crown; and the

involving the rights of the royal prerogative, 100
removed from the Common Pleas into this Con 110
Court of Exchequer being the only Court Yfibico $
jurisdiction in cases where the rights, Priweg-
revenues of the Crown are involved.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved that dot,
ceedings in the case be stayed against the de root
and for leave to substitute .her Majesty's Dora coll.
of the defendant, on the ground that the Plain': goer
troverted the right of the Crown to the close 113diete
tion, and therefore, prima fade, the matter WI,

was between the plaintiff and her Majesty', "tv
the plaintiff and defendant.

The Court granted a rule nisi.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BATAS. igitss°
This was a criminal information, filed at till erod
of the Crown againt the defendant, for an inisels's
of the revenue laws, which was tried la, 'me -rill (/'
before the Lord Chief Baron, who refused t°3%-ingi
of the witnesses to answer a question, dig °oboe
name of the informer throuh whom the Crevill,/,.
its information, criminating the defendant. I,,';idea!
bers urged that this was contrary to all rules elt-h
but the Learned Chief Baron ruled that the
nary rules of evidence were not applicable to sto qo
case, and a rule nisi was subsequently obtaleeded
the information, on the ground that the Lea:116084"
Baron's dictum was erroneous ; and after be,`
arguments pro and con, the Court took time W
the case. •adri
The LORD CHIEF BARON now delivered tbe
of the case, confirming his former ruling, tb°
cannot be asked a question tending to diseles,t,t
of an informer who is a third party, and does 11-„, cse,;i
in the progress of the information. The rule vi"
great antiquity, and was invariably applied t 4
cases.
