MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
On the whole a fair average quantity of English
Wheat has come to hand this week coastwise, and by
land carriage. The show of samples to-day somewhat
exceeded the wants of the buyers. The finest qualities
were in moderate request at full prices, but the middling
and inferior kinds were a slow sale. No foreign Wheat
has arrived since Monday. That grain moved off
slowly, yet previous rates were well supported. Barley,
the supply of which was moderate, was in fair request
at last week's quotations. In Malt next to nothing was
doing, and prices were almost nominal. Oats, Beans'
and Peas, as well as most other articles, including Flour'
were very dull,

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY)

The Lord Chancellor sat to-day at elered o'clock.

COONE P. LOWNDES.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this
case, which was argued a considerable time since
upon appeal. The case is totally devoid of any in-
terest, except to the parties concerned, and the ques-
tion relating to the law respecting copyhold estates.
His Lordship directed a reference to the Master.
DAVIS V. CHANTER..--JUDGMENT.
His LonDsuir also gave judgment in this case,
which came before the Court upwards of twelve
months ago upon appeal from the judgment of the
Vice Chancellor of England. The chief portion of the
case was whether limited letters of administration were
sufficient to pass property. The original bill was fi'.2d
in the year 1834, upon which a decree was pro-
nounced in 1837. A supplemental bill was subse-
quently filed, and proceedings taken in the Ecclesi-
astical Court. Upon that bill coming before the
Vice-Chancellor of England, his Honour thought the
parties were not sufficiently represented, and ordered
the case to stand over, allowing the appellant to
renew the hill, and from that order the parties ap-
pealed. His Lordship thought the estate was suffi-.
ciently represented in the supplemental bill, and
reversed the Vice-Chancellor's decision.

KIRK V. THE BROAILEY lINION.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment ir this
case, which came before his Lordship some
time since, upon an appeal from the deci•
sion of the Vice-Chancellor, overruling a demurrer
put in by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill. The
bill was filed by the architect of the Union Work-
house at Bromley, to compel the guardians of the
poor of the union to pay him for certain alterations in
the original plan, made at their express suggestion,
and through the interference and desire-of their agents.
By the contract between the partie3 it was expressly
stipulated that no alterations in, or deviations from,
the original plan, were to be, paid for unless.the in-
structions for that purpose Were given to the plaintiff
in writing. The plaintiff by his bill alleged, that the
instructions given for the alterations in question were
tantamount to a written order, and that although he
could wit recover for them at law, he had an equitable
claim which the Court would enforce. The Vice-
Chancellor thought there was a fidr.eqtitable- claim,
and directed the defendants to answer; and from that
judgment the defendants appealed to the Lord %Chan&
cellor. His Lordship was clearly of opiniOn that the
overruling of the demurrer by the Vice-Chancellor
was wrong, and ordered that judgment to be reverted,
and the demurrer allowed.

This judgment has the effect of putting the plain.
tiff's bill out of court.

(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)

LOSSES ON RAILWAY SHARES.-OLDUAII ii. RIDOR.

The plaintiff in this action is a sharebroker at
Manchester, and the defendant is also a sharebroker
in the City. Tho claim was for 461. 17s. 6d., the
difference on sale of fifty shares in the North' Staf-
fordshire Railway Company, the shares haring been
purchased by plaintiff at the request of the defendant,
but which defendant afterwards refused to accept, and
11. 16s. 6d. for commission on the original purchase.
The defendant having suffered judgment to go by
default, it was only necessary to prove the value and
resale of the shares.

Mr. Jes. E. Oldham, the son to the plaintiff, was
called, and proved that, a letter was reoeifedlrom
the defendant, dated the 4th of September, 1646; re•
questing the purchase of the shares mentioned, and
they were accordingly bought, at a premium, for
4961. 17s. 6d. Defendant not taking them up, they
were resold at a loss of 461. 17:, 6d.

The Learned SECONDARY directed the jury that the
plaintiff was entitled to the full amount of bis claim;
and a verdict for 481. 15s. was accordingly entered.

was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with steal-
ing a silver watch, and a picture, the property of his
uncle, James Boxam, King's Mews, South-street,
Grosvenor-square.
It appeared that the prisoner was on a furlough in
the month of December last, and was staying at the
prosecutor's. On the 22d of that month, while the
prosecutor was in bed, the prisoner took the -isptor-
tunity of stealing a silver watch, and a picture, Aith
which he decamped. Information was forwarded to
the police with a description of the prisoner, and last
night he was taken into custody.
Police-sergeant John Gray, 10 C, said he took the
prisoner into custody yesterday evening at the Royal
Artillery Barracks, Woolwich. He told him of the
nature of the charge against him, when he (prisoner)
admitted stealing the articles, and said ha had pledged
the watch for eighteen shillings, and sold the ticket
for three shillings. The picture he had sold to a
publican for three shillings.
'The prisoner, who admitted the charge, was' re-
manded.
