LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1848,

was there all the time, and occasionally staked
money himself. After this there were two ma-
chines, used for " racing sweeps," brought into
the room, when the defendant wrote upon
some larger tickets, and placed them in the ma-
chines, which were turned round by means of a handle.
Two men then drew tickets from each box, previously
depositing money upon the table. Seven or eight of the
company had paid a shilling each. When the tickets
were drawn in this, way, Knight called out the name of a
" horse." Witness distinctly heard him call out " Cha-
rity," and other horses' names. When the names were
pronounced some one of the party took up the stakes.
This continued for about three-quarters of an hour, and
the machines were then taken away, and the bag brought
back again. The first game was renewed in the same
way as before, but with heavier stakes, half-a-crown
each being laid down. The parties afterwards had up
refreshments and cigars, which were not paid for. They
were ordered of the waiter in the usual manner. Knight
occasionally asked the waiter the amount of what had
been brought up. The bags were placed in a drawer
and Knight took the book into the bar after the company
bad broken up. It was about half-past twelve o'clock
when witness left. On the following night witness again
visited the room, and found precisely the same things
going on.
Mr. Child submitted that the proceedings of any other
night would be irrelevant to the present charge.
Mr. JARDINE would receive the testimony, not with
the view to a separate conviction, but only as tending to
confirm the statements as to the landlord's knowledge of
the transactions.
Witness continued to state that he went to the house
on two occasions afterwards, and heard a conversation
among the party as to the intention of the police to put
down " racing sweeps." He believed he was suspected
by them, and so did not remain. He saw both the land-
lord and Mr. Knight on these occasions. The landlord
was down stairs.
Cross-examined by Mr. Child—Witness was not ac-
companied by any one else when he visited the house.
Mr. Child submitted to the Court that there had been
no evidence to fix the defendant with a personal know.
ledge of the transactions referred to by the constable;
and, in fact, owing to a domestic calamity (the death of
his father) he was not there at the time. He had made
up his mind, since the decision of the City case, not to
suffer any more sweeps in his house, although he had
undouetedly sanctioned the " winding up" of such of
them as were pending at the time their illegality was
determined. He had no knowledge whatever of the
drawing with the bag. He assured the Court that the
defendant had pledged himself since not to allow the
renewal of those practices in the house, which was a
highly respectable establishment.
The officers admitted the respectability of the defen-
dant's house.
Mr. JARDINE could not allow himself to be a party to
any compromise. As the case stood before him there
was ample evidence that "gaming" was going on to a
great extent among a dozen or fifteen people, who were
served with refreshments ; and the landlord, who was in
the lower part of the house, should have made it his busi-
ness to acquaint himself with what was going on. Under
these circumstances, he should inflict the penalty of 51.,
with costs. His Worship said that the second charge
against the defendant might be withdrawn.
The fine was accordingly paid.
CLERKEN WELL.
A youth, 16 years of age, named North, was placed
at the bar charged with having committed a capital
assault upon Mary North, a fine little girl, eight years
of age.
Evidence having been given,
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was
fully committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.
Mr. BURRELL gave judgment in an adjourned case under
the " Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act,"
in which Mr. W. Winks, of Queen's-road East, Chelsea,
was complained of by the authorities of St. Luke's,
Chelsea.
From the evidence given in support of the complaint,
it appeared that defendant was proprietor of a house in
the New-road, which was let out in separate tenements.
In the course of the inspection of this place, four feet of
stagnant putrescent water were found in the basement
of the house, and in the rear a quantity of soil rising
to the level of the yard, the whole emitting the most
offensive smell that could be imagined. There were
three families in the house, comprising the number of
twenty-six inmates ; four of the children in the house
had lately had the scarlet fever, but were now getting
better.
The defendant's answer to the charge was, that his
drain passed into a sewer at the back, and as the sewer
had for some time past become choked up, he could not,
in any way, be considered to blame. He had resorted
to every expedient in his power, and at great expense,
to prevent the offensive matters soaking through into
the basement of his premises, but without effect. He
had had his drain cleansed, but had no power to cleanse
the sewer, the state of which, he declared, gave rise to
the present complaint. He had written to the Commis•
sioners of Sewers on the subject, who, in reply, stated
that the matter should be inquired into.
Mr. Easdale, surveyor of St. Luke's, Chelsea, said
there was a sewer in front, into which defendant was
bound to make his drain, by the existing law.
Defendant intimated that it was very unreasonable to
ask him to run a drain into the sewer to carry off the
accumulation of offensive matter from other premises;
and further contended that it would be perfectly useless,
as, from the situation of his basement, it would be con•
tinually running into it.
Mr. Easdale thought if he were to try the experiment,
he would not be annoyed by any soaking from other
premises, as the drain into the sewer in front would carry
all a way.

Defendant repeated his firm conviction that such
would not be the case, and called a witness, who stated
that every means had been resorted to for the purpose
of keeping the drain water and other matter out, but it
st.ll came in from under the foundation. The pit of the
sewer was four inches above the floor of the kitchen, and
the sewer was full up to the crown.
Mr. BURRELL, who had taken time to give his deci-
sion, said he had carefully perused the Act of Parlia-
ment, and was satisfied that he could not look to any
remote cause of the nuisance, but only to the owner or
occupier of the premises where the nuisance was found
to exist. The evidence was clear, and the facts undis-
puted, that there was a nuisance existing on defendant's
premises. The law was evidently intended to be
peremptory, on account of the object it had in view—
that of preventing disease; and if the remote cause were
to be inquired into at all, the provisions of the statute
would be rendered nugatory. There might be some 1
hardship in defendant's case, but if he could show that
he suffered through the default of others, he might seek
his remedy at law. The worthy Magistrate then or-
dered the defendant to remove the offensive matter
within 48 hours of the time of receiving the notice.
In reply to inquiries from Mr. Ryder, the chairman of
the board of guardians of the parish,
Mr. BURRELL intimated that costs would be allowed
for the necessary attendance of professional gentlemen to
support cases of this description.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
From the returns made in the week ending November 28,
1848, is 225. 314 d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 1.)
SUGAR.-There was no improvement apparent in the
proceedings in Raw Siigar for home trade purposes, and
prices are still drooping, notwithstanding the decrease
of supply at market. West India met with little atten-
tion for either scale or pan, and only 360 hhds and trcs
found buyers, making 1,770 for the week, and at prices
ad per cwt lower. The market for free labour Sugar
closes with much heaviness. For public sale on Tues-
-150 hhds Barbadoes, and for Thursday 1,308 boxes Yel-
low Havannah, duty paid or allowed, and 1,200 baskets
Java Sugar, are declared.
REFINED.-To-day there was much dulness in the
market for home trade Refined Goods, and former rates
are with difficulty kept up. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
not cheaper, but there was less disposition shown to do
business.
MACIITIIIB.-This afternoon little activity was ap-
parent in the market for Mauritius Sugar, and 1,052
bags at auction were only in part sold at barely former
rates; low yellow went at 335, fine brown 32s to 32s 6d,
syrupy 27s to 33s 6d, and washed 27s to 32s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt
in with caution, and 1,678 bags at public sale went 6d
per cwt lower, but the whole sold; middling white Be-
nares at 38s 6cl to 395, damp 37s 6d to 38s, low soft
yellow 32s 6d to 33s Gd, middling 34s to 355, good 375,
fine strong yellow damp and washed 39s 6d to 435,
good 38s to 38s Gd, middling 36s to 37s ad, and low 33s
to 34s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-This afternoon at public sale 424 hhds
250 barrels Porto Rico Sugar were taken in rather above
the value; low greyish yellow at 35s 6d to 365, and mid
37s 6d to 38s. The private operations for the week are
1,000 chests yellow Havannah at 18s to 20; for middling
to fine, and a cargo of white Bahia at 20s per cwt for ,
Trieste.
COCOA.-There has been more inquiry after West
India this week, but holders insisting upon better prices,
operated against business by private treaty. Of 445
bags Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold. The
better sort is much wanted, and is in small supply. For
Foreign the demand is not brisker, and prices keep low;
Guayaquil is only worth 28s to 28s 6d, and Brazil 28s to
29s per cwt. A public sale of 50 bags 41 barrels Trini-
dad Cocoa is declared to take place on Tuesday.
COFFEE.-To-day the dealings in Coffee by private
treaty were of little moment both by exporters and home
trade buyers, still holders were not disposed to accept
lower rates. rone was put up to auction. The value
of Native Ceylon is from 26s ad to 28s per cwt. On
Tuesday 15 casks 22 barrels Jamaica, and on Wednes-
day 4,000 bags Costa Rica Coffee will be offered for pub-
lic competition.
TEA.-Public sales to the extent of 15,900 packages
are declared to take place on Wednesday, about 600 of
which consist of Assam. There is a desire shown by
merchants to accept former low rates for all sorts
of black, yet the dealings have been upon a
small scale only; fair useful common Congou is
offered at lid for money. In the market
for Green much dulness exists, and the tendency of prices
is yet to recede for most sorts ; the supply continues to
get more plentiful. For scented and Pekoe Teas few
buyers are to be met with, and sellers are willing to make
a further concession in the value. The current rates for
Tea are as follows-Congou, ord aid to 7d, good ord
mxd blkh If 8d to Bid, blkh If 9d to 10d, strong. 11d to
Is ld, do and Pekoe fla is 2d to ls 9d, Souchong, low

Orange Pekoe ord and mid quality 7d to is, good and
fine scented is 2d to 2s, black leaf Pekoe 10d to is Bd,
and flowery is to 3s per lb.
RICE.-Prices have still a downward tendency for all
sorts; fine white Bengal can be purchased at 12s to 12s
6d, good mid and good Ils to Its 6d, mid 10s 6d, low
and broken 9s to 10s, cargo 7s 6,1 to 8s; Madras
pinky white 8s to 9s, cargo 78 to 7s 6d; Java
white 8s 6d to 12s, and yellow 7s to 8s per cr, t.
Cleaned finds a good sale ; Sago flour is offered at 16s
to 16s 6d ; Sago 17s to 22s ; Farina 15s to 16s; Tapioca
6d to 81d, and West India Arrowroot at 3d to Is 2d ;
the sales made are upon a §maller scale. On Wednes-
day 500 boxes pearl Sago flour, and on Thursday 1,900
bags Rico iii( be offered at auction.
SPIRITS.-There is no advance to record in the value
of Jamaica Rum this week; the demand has been brisker
chiefly for home trade use. The total sales are 500 puns.
Of fine sorts there is only a small supply, and the de-
mand is good, from 3s 9d to 4s 2d for 35 to 38 per cent.
over proof. Demerara is not offered at any further
decline ; the demand is also good, and 150 puns have
been sold at 2s to 2s 3d for good and fine quality 34 to
33 per cent over. Leeward Island is in much better de-
mand, and cannot be purchased upon former terms. For
the week 400 puns have been sold, mostly at is 4d for
good quality, and a small part at 15 3id for plain.
East India met with a more active sale, and
about 200 hhds were disposed of at is 3id proof.
Havannah Rum is not much wanted at present, and
ls. oid. is the nearest value of proof. For Brandy for-
mer rates are asked, and deliveries still exceed those of
last year, but the market is in a quiet state. Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1845 we quote 5s Id to
5s 3d, ditto 1846 at 4s 9,1 to 43 I Id, ditto 1847 33 9d to
3s I Id, inferior marks 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2-s 4cl to
2s 2cl; Spanish 2s to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over-
proof at 2s to 2s 2d. The market for British made Spirit
is in a quiet state. Geneva has been dealt in with cau-
tion, and lower rates are taken ; common exportation
sort is offered at is 10d to is I Id, and fine for duty at
2s 4d to 3s 4d per gallon.

SALTPETRE.:—For Rough the market is firm, and a
fair business has been done at from 25s 6d to 27s for low
to fine. None was offered at public sale, but a large
parcel is declared. British Refined sells readily at 28s
6d to Nitrate of Soda is in fair demand at lls 6d
to 12s per cwt.

Fnuir.—The operations in Currants have been upon
a very large scale all the week, and holders .5 how
much firmness—new Zante and Cephalonia realise 36s
to 375, Patras 38s to 395, ditto Upper Gulf and new
growths 35s to 365, old sorts realise from 31s
to 34.3. Valencia Raisins . find a ready sale at
36s to 375. Sultanas meet with little attention, and
must be quoted lower; the puniest will not fetch more
than 70s. There are sellers of fine Eleme 405 to 445.
Of Turkey Figs there is still a scanty supply, and
much demand exists at from 70s to 90s. For Prunes prices
are moderate. Muscatel Raisins still fetch full rates.
At auction 15 butts of old Patras Currants were, how.
ever, sold at 32s to 34s per cwt. 975 boxes of
Jordan Almonds were all taken in at 71 to 71 10s,
and a small part 1015 s ; 123 casks of Dates, and
9 baskets of Figs, consisting of small Tapnets,
were all taken in ; 5,400 drums of Turkey pulled
Figs sold at 75s to 803 ; 123 bskts of damaged
Denia Raisins 24s ; 1,125 packages of yalentia taken in,

I prime picked 44s to 455, dam 345. Of 10,574 pkgs
Muscatel Raisins a small part only sold. 700 drums of
Sultana Raisins all withdrawn ; 158 pkgs Imperial
French Plums only partly sold.
COCHINEAL.—TO-day a public sale of 59 bags Hon-
duras went at 3s 6d to 4s for ord to good silvers, and
which are fully former rates.
OlLS.—This afternoon Palm Oil met with less atten-
tion, and 270 casks at auction sold at lower rates—good
went at 31s, low to mid 27s to 30s per cwt.
SPICES.—The supply of Nutmegs at market continues
on the decrease, and as buyers have shown more desire
to sell this week, a slight advance in the value is appa-
rent. Mace is in better demand. Cloves are not much
wanted. Ginger is not lower, but only a small busi-
ness lifts been concluded this week by exporters or
home trade buyers; the supply has fallen off. For Cin-
namon few buyers are to be met with, and sales can
easily be made upon the terms of the last auctions. The
low rates current for Black Pepper do not cause a better
demand fur home use or shipping, and privately only
small parcels have been sold this week. White is in fair
demand. To-day at auction 56 bags Pimento sold at
43-el per lb.
INDlco.—On the part of home dealers little desire is
shown to do business in East India, and there are few
export orders at market. It is only in a few cases that
purchases can be made rather under last quarterly
sales' rates. For Spanish the market is dull, and prices
are looking down.
TALLow.—To-day the market is quiet for Tallow
with sales of fine P. Y. Candle at 44s 9d to 45s per cwt
on the spot. At auction 57 casks of Italian sold at 41s
6d to 43s 3d ; 19 casks of New South Wales 41s 6d to
42s ; 1,826 pps, and 36 hhds South America❑ 4ls to
42s 9d.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, DEC. I.—The supplies this week are
liberal of all articles. For wheat the demand is limited,
and there is a general disinclination to purchase though
prices are reduced is to 2s per quarter. Barley goes off
very slowly, and but a small portion of the large arrival
disposed of at a decl ne of is per quarter. Oats are id
per stone, and shelling is per load cheaper, with little
inquiry for each. Beans sell in retail at late prices.

LIVERPOOL, Dxc. I.—The duties on foreign corn and
flour are unaltered. The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise since Tuesday are limited, and comprise 300
quarters of wheat, 1.293 quarters of barley, 84 quarters
of malt, 1,984 quarters of oats, 72 quarters of beans, 42
quarters of peas, 1,596 loads of oatmeal, and 1,340 sacks
of flour. From Canada there are again good supplies-
-1,768 quarters of wheat, 2,240 quarters of peas, and
13,651 barrels of flour being reported; and from foreign
ports they amount to 5,910 quarters of wheat, 500 quar-
ters of beans. 13.910 quarters of Indian corn, 158 bar-
rels of corn meal, 1,747 sacks and 22,256 barrels of flour.
The exports in the same time amount to 1,318 quarters
of wheat, 167 quarters of oats, 4,027 quarters of Indian
corn, 67 barrels of corn meal, 191 sacks and 1,815 bar-
rels of flour. The transactions in free produce since
Tuesday have been on a moderate scale and entirely for
consumption, without any further change in the value of
wheat, oats, flour, or oatmeal. In barley, beans, or peas
there has been so little doing that prices are nominal.
Indian corn was sold at 6d per quarter decline; and corn
meal was rather cheaper. There have • been some in-
quiries for bonded wheat and flour, but holders being in-
different about selling at present rates, no important
business has resulted. At this day's market the trans-
actions were extremely limited for every article. Free
wheat and flour were in some instances a little cheaper,
but holders generally were not disposed to submit to
any further reduction, and few sales were made: 28s to
28s 6.1 per barrel were the current rates for Western
Canal. Oats and oatmeal were fully as dear, with a
slow retail demand. Barley, beans, and peas may be
considered nominally as on Tuesday, with rather more
inquiry for boiling samples of the latter. Indian corn
was in fair request at the decline stated; 33s 6d being
realised for prime American yellow down to 30s 6d per
4801 b for middling parcels of mixed quality. Indian corn
meal 16s 6d per barrel. There were inquiries for bonded
flour at 255, but none offered under 25s 6d, and few
holders were disposed to take less than 26s per barrel.
About 1,000 quarters American red wheat were sold at
6s per 701 b in bond.

but generally a very dull sale—good heifer beef was
offered at 8s 6d, and the primest in the market at 8s 9d
and 9s, the quotation for fat beef being from 8s to 9s per
score. Barreners were not much asked for, but were
offering at about 5s per score. Cows and calves from Si
to 141 each. A few North Devon yearlings were offered

was moderate, the best wethers were worth sid to 6d per
lb; ewes sd. Store pigs were on dull sale, and suckers
could hardly be sold at any price. Pork carcases—A

best samples of warranted new wheat, some of which
now come to hand in good condition, 7s per bushel has
been obtained; inferior qualities have been hardly asked
for at any price; Belgian wheat, at 601 b. per bushel, has
been offered at 6s 9d, but does not command much atten-
tion at that figure; barley 4s per bushel; oats is 10d for
inferior samples, to 2s 4d for the very bast; fine flour 39s
to 41s per sack.

IPswicrs, Nov. 28.—We had a good attendance, and
altogether a fair supply of corn to day; of barley it was
large. The complexion of the market was very gloomy,

and barley about 2s per quarter lower. In other articles
we had little or no variation, but all met dull sale.
IPSWICH CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 28.—Our cattle
market this day exhibited a worse appearance than last
week. All kinds of stock short in supply, and the trade
very bad.
EYE, Nov. 28.—We had a good attendance at our
market thin day, but business was extremely dull. Prices
declined is par coomb, as compared with the previous
week.

WOODBRIDGE, NOV. 29.—Notwithstanding our small
supplies of all grain this day, the large arrivals of
foreign wheat and flour to the leading markets, caused
our wheat , trade to be fully 4s. per quarter lower.
Fine barley is and seconds 2s under list week's prices.
STOWMARKET, Nov. 30.—We had a large attendance
and a fair quantity of corn at market to-day. Wheat
met an extreme dull sale at is abatement on last week's
prices, while the best malting barley sold as of' late. No
variation in beans or peas; but Oats were is per quarter
lower.

NEWBURY, Nov. 30.—The supply of Wheat at to-
day's market is only moderate, for which there is but
little demand, and although 2s to 3s per quarter decline
would be readily accepted, still some quantity remains
over unsold. Barley, a large supply, but at is to 2s per
quarter lower rates; we have more business doing than
last week. Beans, oats, and peas, with a small supply,
extremely difficult to quit at a reduction of is to 2s per
quarter.
