MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London :few Price Current of Jan. 30.)
SUGAM—To-day there was less activity in the West India
Sugar market, and which was to be attributed to the public
sales of other home trade kinds; nevertheless, merchants
evinced firmness, and obtained fully former rates for all de•
acriptions.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 29.
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. GREGORY.
This was an indictment against the defendant, for a libel
on the Duke of Brunswick, importing, among other thingp,
that he had murdered Eliza Grimwood. The jury Lad con-
victed the defendant.
Mr. COCKBURN now moved for a new trial, first on the
ground of the improper reception of evidence, and secondly,
un that of misdirection. The evidence improperly admitted
was the inquisition on Eliza Grimwood. As to the objec-
tion on that point, there was a case in East's Pleas of the
Crown. which showed that an inquisition ought to be taken
on parchment, and not on paper, and the inquisition on
Eliza Grimwood having been taken on paper, was not a valid
inquisition, and ought not, therefore, to have been received
in evidence in this case. This objection was confirmed
by the 6th and 7th of Victoria, which was passed to ob-
viate
objections of a formal nature to inquisitions ; and
among the instances there mentioned as those in whic the
defect would vitiate the inquisition, was thitt of its being taken
on
in par.
invalid this objection wntas valid, then the paper inquisition,
in evidence, It wwas!beg peaninstrume, ought not to have been admitted
Pot admissible on another :ground, '

amely, that it was a proceeding between other persons than
those concerned in this indictment, and therefore could not be
evidence for or against either of them. The other point was,
that the prosecutor was described as Charles Frederick
Augustus NVilliam Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg.
This was a wrong description; the prosecutor was
'no longer Duke of Brunswick. He was not, there-
fore, entitled to be so called. But even if that was
his proper description abroad, he ought here to be described
as an esquire. In Lord Coke's "Institute" it was stated that
the description of rank and title of a party to an indictment
should be truly stated, and if the parties were noblemen of
foreign countries, they were to be described as armigeri, un-
less they were knights. The prosecutor was not a reigning
sovereign, and therefore ought, in our courts, to have been
described as an esquire. He quoted several authorities in
support of this proposition, and contended that this descrip-
tion of the prosecutor being bad, the indictment could nut be
sustained.
Lord DENMAN—I think that in this case there ought not
to be any rule. The indictment states what is certainly
quite unnecessary; it states as a distinct fact that there was
a murder committed on the body of Eliza Grimwood, and
then it goes on to allege that an inquisition was held upon
the body, and a verdict of murder by some person unknown
was pronounced It is quite immaterial whether this was so
or not. The real question is, whether the libel spoke of her
as a person who had been murdered. Notwithstanding this
unnecessary allegation, and the proof unnecessaril3 °fret ed
upon this point, I think it was quite sufficient to show that
there was an inquisition held on the body of a murdered
person, called by the name of Eliza Grimwood. Mr. Carter,
tie coroner, proved that he held the inquisition. lie pro-
duced a paper, which would not be admissible as an in-
quisition taken by him in order to found other pro-
ceedingspon it, but which was perfectly admissible to
sh
ow that u
atat the inquisition held under him lie had noted
(litiow wn what had occurred; so that supposing it had been •
necessary to prove the allegation on the indictment, that there
had been such an inquisition, the evidence of Mr. ( arter
would have been sufficient to establish that fact. The paper
thus produced was not made the foundation of any other
proceeding, but Was a mere mode of identifying the persons
and the names mentioned at the inquest; so that the ob-
jection raised to the admissibility of the paper does not apply
here. With respect to the other part of the objection, I was
much struck by the objection when made at the trial. Lord
Coke's authority goes a great way to show that the descrip-
tion

tahne improper description; for, from his
e been to call
safer way would ha k
Institute it appears that foreign titles cannot be noticed in
the prosecutor by his name, and to add the title or desig-
nation Esquire or Armiger. I own I was at first disposed
to think, that though this was merely a technical objec-
tion, it ought to be further discussed; and I should there-
fore have thought we ought to grant a rule, had it not
been for the case of the King v. Sully, which occurred
in 1799. The prisoner there was indicted for stealing cer-
tain articles, the property of Selina Victoire Baroness
Turkheim ; and the prosecutrix said that that was her
title, and not part of her proper name, and that she was re-
puted to possess, and did possess that title, in right. of an
estate she bad received from her father. The Court said,
that all that the law required was certainty
i to a common in-
tent, and, therefore, held her description n the indictment
sufficient. There the mere title of the party appeared, and
yet the court held amt, mat was sufficient, for she was con-
stantly known by the title given her in the indictment. The
same circumstances exist here. The prosecutor is not a
reigning prince, and there is another person who is the reign-
ing prince, still lie is constantly known by this description,
and the case I have referred to seems to me a direct autho-
rity for saying that he has properly described himself in this
indictment. I am, therefore, of opinion that there ought
be be no rule.

The other Judges concurred.—The rule was refused.
Mr. COCKBURN then applied for the postponement of the
case on the ground that the whole of the last term had been
suffered to elapse without the defendant being called on to
:ome tip for judgment, and the notice he had now received
to be brought up for judgment having only been given on
Tuesday evening, he had not had time to prepare the affida-
vits he wished to lay before the Court in mitigation of
punishment.

Mr. Sergeant TAIYOURD (Mr. Wordsworth was with him)
did not oppose the application if the Court thought it proper.
The COURT did think it reasonable, and the case was,
therefore, ordered to stand over to next term.

BANKRUPTCY COUUT, Jan. 29.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.—IN RE THOMPSON.
The Learned CtensiissioNEß said, this is a case in which
have a painful duty to perform, that of refusing a certifi-
cate to an attorney. I did not give my decision at the hear-
t •rig, because I wished to examine the proceedings, to see
whether there was anything in the general complexion of
, -ne case which could justify me in taking a more lenient
course. I have found nothing. Mr. Thompson took the
benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 1838, and though
14 pressed, he could not venture to state that his estate paid
anything in the pound. He now owes 854/. to unsecured cre-
,44 ditors, and 4621. to creditors having some security; his estate
on this occasion will just pay one farthing in the pound.
During his examination before me, he showed himself utterly
regardless of the sacred obligation of an oath. It is not,
% however, on these general reas:ms that I found my decision.
1 found it principally on his conduct to Mr. Pell, of North-
% ampton. Mr. Pell was employed by three clients to sue
Thompson for sums which, kith the costs, amounted to
821. 10s. ; upon which Thompson requested Mr. Fell to
enable him to get rid of these demands by advancing him the
82/. 10s. on the security of some cottages and property which
he alleged he had bought of one Loke. The deeds of con-
ice a-eyance from Loke to him, dated the 21st of August, 1844,
were produced, and no other title- deeds, the excuse for their
non-production being that they had been lost or stolen from
Luke many years before. Mr. Pell required evidence of this;
)"s upon which Thompson produced solemn affirmations from
;%'s Loke and two other persons, stating that the deeds had been
stolen, and stating such other facts as were necessary to make
out Loke's title. These affirmations were dated the 18th and
;ii 21st of September, 1844, and producing their natural effect,
induced Pell to advance the 821. 10s. on the security of a
mortgage deed, dated the 17th of October following. Now,
IA on the 7th of October, only ten days before the mortgage
was executed, Luke had attended before the magistrates at
Wellingborough to procure their assistance, under a late Act
of Parliament, in ejecting one Wyman from part of the
ITeinises comprised in the mortgage deed Wyman had
attended with his solicitor, a Mr. Sharman, of Bed-
ford, and had Shown to the satisfaction of the rnagis-
-0 !rates that he claimed a right to the property, and
'li the magistrates, of course, had declined to inter-
:ere. Thompson was present, apparently as a specta-
.. tor, though, if the deed of the 21st of August were rot a
tctitious deed, got up for some fraudulent purpose, he, ac-
:ording to his own account, ought to have been, not a
si riere spectator, but the principal actor. Mr. Sharman con-
versed with Thompson after the business was over, and told
2him that Loke appeared to be acting under a delusion, for
a that he had executed a deed to Wyman's grandfather,
a hich he (Sharman) held with the title deeds for a client
3s. of his, who claimed as mortgagee under Wyman, and he
I offered to show Thompson the deeds. Thompson, however,
never called upon Sharman, but ten days after obtained
Pell's 821. 103. on the security of the property in ques-
tion, without saying one word to Pell about the claim by
Wyman. Thompson, after much fencing with my ques-
tions, was obliged to admit, not only that he was present
and had heard what passed, but that he bad insisted on
Loke, an old man almost in his dotage, taking the proceed-
ice ings he had before the magistrates for his (Thompson's)
benefit, so that his afterwards obtaining Mr. Pell's money
was a plain cheat. It was suggested by his solicitor (Mr.
Lawrence) that he had been deceived by Luke. My own
belief is that he had never bought the property of Loke at
all; he could produce no evidence of any payment to Loke,
and his story and Loke's were utterly inconsistent with each
other. I believe that the deed of the 21st of August was
fabricated originally to deceive a client of Mr. Pell's; but
'72 be that as it may, even if Thompson was originally de-
ceived, his obtaining the money of Pell on the 17th of
October, without disclosing that his title was disputed, was
134 a gross fraud. Under these circumstances, lam compelled
ta to refuse Thompson his certificate altogether. The office of
;')i,4 attorney is an office unavoidably of great trust and confi-
',lC deuce; and if a solicitor is a dishonest man he can effect
12 incalculable mischief, add the public have, as I conceive,
s„4 a right to require that no man once proved in a court of
justice to have been guilty of an act of plain dishonest)
3i should be enabled by public authority again to exercise sucl
an office.

IN RE EVILL AND DOUGLAS.
The bankrupts in this case carried on business as wholesale
I woollen merchants in Vigo- street, Regent-street, and this
day was appointed fr th- 11-*

for .tie choice of assignees.
The debts and liabilities during four years' trading amount
to between 70,000/, and 80,0001., and the assets were stated
to amount to about 30,0001.
The debts proved in the course of the day amzuntcd to
about 40,000/
The assignees chosen were Messrs. Leukin, Griffiths, and
Overvuary, all iu the woollen trade, and they accepted the
trust.
A proof was tendered, upon the part of the North-West
Bank, to the amount of '7,000'. on bills of exchange, which
was objected to by Mr. Dickens, as solicitor to the assignee?,
upon the ground that cloth had been deposited with the
drawers of the bills.
Mr. Commissioner FANS, after reference to several cases,
admitted tieproof, allowing the assignees to take such steps
as they might consider expedient to realise the securities and
apply them in discharge of the bills.
Mr. Lawrance, of Bucklersbury, appeared as solicitor to
the bankrupts, and Mr. Wryghte as accountant.

COURT OF EXCISE, Jan. 29.
(Before H. F. STEPHENSON, Esq., CHARLES Ross, Esq., and
C. J. HARRIES, Esq.)
Maria Sbephard, of the King and Queen, High-street,
Newington, was charged with the adulteration of beer by
the use of a liquid material and preparation, as a substitute
Yg for malt and hops. The information contained six counts,
each of which involved a penalty of 2001. After hearing
the evidence, Mr. Commissioner Stephenson said it was the
opinion of the Court that there was nothing injurious in the
articles that had been put into the beer, but as it was con-
trary to law they had no alternative but to give judgment
against her. In consequence of the excellent character
given to the defendant by the officers, the Court would miti-
gate the tine to 5/.
CAUTION TO EATING•HOUSE KEEPERS.—Job Ford, of 87,
Lower Thames-street, eatir;g-house keeper, was charged
with retailing beer and spiritous liquors without license.
There was a second information, to which the defendant
pleaded guilty.
The COURT gave judgment, and said that as the defendant
had been carrying on this illegal trade for nine years, they
should tine the defendant in the penalty of 251. on the two cases.
James Best Coleman, of the Bean and Wheat sheaf, Lower
Thames-street, was fined in the full penalty of 1501., for not
renewing his licenses.
S. B. Simmons, of the Rising Sun,Castle-street, Long-acre,
was also fined fora similar offence in the penalty of 1001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mr. Charles Cahill, described as a gentleman, appeared to
answer a charge made against him by Mrs. M‘Donall, for
robbing his ready-furnished lodgings of a sheet, a blanket,
and some other articles, valued at 255.
From Mrs. M'Donall's original statement, it appeared that
at the latter end of the year 1844, Mr. Ruthven, M.P., a
friend of the accused, took the lodgings for the family of the
accused at a stipulated, rent. The accused remained with
her about ten weeks, during which period so much unplea-
santness arose between them, that she was obliged to give
him notice to quit. The accused left without her cognizance,
and on gaining entrance into the apartments, she discovered
that, independently of considerable damage to the carpets
and furniture, a blanket, sheet, two tumblers, and a German-
silver knife and fork were not to be found She made in-
quiry after the accused, but wss unable to meet with him
until Tuesday last, when, seeing him in the street, she gave
him into custody.
Mr. Cahill attempted to show that the charge originated
in a refusal on his part to pay 7/.los. for alleged damage to
firs. BrDonall's carpet and hearth rug. He said he was re- '
