MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although our returns show rather a large arrival of Eng-
lish Wheat, the number of samples of that article on sale,
owing to many of the cargoes having been disposed of pre-
vious to arrival, was small. All kinds commanded a very
ready sale, at an advance in the quotations obtained on
Monday of from is to 2s per quarter, at which a good
clearance was effected. Foreign Wheat was in good request,
and is to 2s per quarter higher. Bonded Grain was in-
quired for, yet the transactions were trifling. Although the
Supply of Barley was small the demand ruled heavy, and
the inferior kinds sold at a trifle less money. Superfine Malt
moved off steadily, other kinds slowly, at late rates. Oats,
Beans, Peas, and Flour, were in fair request at full prices.
From America, 4,050 barrels of the latter have come to hand
this w eek.

The supply of Beasts on offer being large, and the attend-
ance of buyers small, the Beef trade was very dull, at a de-
cline in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. There were in the
/market 230 Oxen and Cows, 390 Sheep, and 22 Calves from
Holland, together with 75 Oxen from Spain, the latter of
Which said at from 121 to 18/ per head. A vessel' arrived in
the river this morning from Harlingen with 120 Beasts on
board, 75 of which were smothered on their passage. With
Sheep we were scantily supplied, yet the Mutton trade was
Inactive at Monday's prices. In Lambs exceedingly little
Was doing, and the currencies suffered an abatement of from
2d to 4d per Sibs. Calves and Pigs, the numbers of which
Were good, moved off slowly at late rates. Milch Cows pro-
duced from 161 to 191 each, including their small calf.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JANEs.)
FISHER V. DUNFORD.
This was the only cause set down for trial, but on the
Jury being called none of the parties were in attendance.
The Learned SECONDARY said it was very inconve-
nient for persons to appoint times and not be present.
The plaintiff's attorney arrived in a few minutes, but
neither the defendant nor his attorney appeared, although
ti Plea had been put on the record.
The plaintiff's attorney then stated the case. The
plaintiff is a brush-maker, and a part of the claim was
for goods ordered by defendant to be sent to a person at
ltingwood, in Hampshire ; partly for goods supplied to
defendant himself ; and 31. for money lent ; but plaintiff
Would admit a set-off of 4/. 17s. 4d., which would leave
It balance of 41. 7s. sd.
The SECONDARY said that it was a pity some person
was not present for the defendant ; but as it was he
W°,_uld see that nothing but strict evidence was admitted.
,
a Witnesses were then called, who proved the order and
"livery of the goods, and an admission of the loan.
The ury thereupon gave a verdict for the balance
°mimedj 4/. 7s. sd.

NSOLYENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

sioner PHILLIPS.)
IN RE J. MACLEOD.
The insolvent in this case was described as the repre-
aentative of a chieftain's house in the north-west of
Scotland. The amount of his liabilities was 61,0001.

„ Ur. CooKE, who appeared for the insolvent, stated
that the property of Mr. Macleod in Scotland was valued
at 77,000/., which would have paid all the creditors on
I.'e schedule. The property had been sold, but did not
,!teh so much as was expected, which was the reasan of
bne insolvent appearing here.
It vi as stated to the Court that debts to the amount
of 44,000/. had been registered against the property of
the insolvent.
soille Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER ordered the in-
vtnt to be discharged.

Ttx
INAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Baron PLATT.)
MANSLAUGHTER ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAlL-
t,"4'ir. William Clare, late an engine-driver on the
Eastern Counties Railway, surrendered to take his trial
an an indictment charging him with having, on the 18th
of July last, caused the death of William Hind by
careless and wanton driving. There were other counts
in the indictment varying the charge.
, The Attorney-General, Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Clark, and
gr. Ballantine were for the prosecution ; Mr. Montague
Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Parry attended
for the defence.
The ATTORNEY- GENERAL, in rising to address the
347, said that he need only remind them of the nature
:f heir duties in order to induce them to throw aside
t;::erY preconceived opinion, and to judge of the case by
a evidence which would be adduced before them. The
Jury. 3 would have gathered from the indictment that the
oefendant was charged with manslaughter, in that he,
wilh,t,he 18th of July, did, by his careless conduct,
Ile in charge of a locomotive engine, cause
by throwing
death of a gentleman, named William Hind,
'33' throwing him out of a carriage on to the
Watform of the Stratford station on the Eastern Counties
ailway. He need not refer at length to the cases which
Were recorded, and which bore a striking analogy to
that under their consideration, but he might incidentally
mention a judgment by Lord Hales, who laid down that
a Person who wantonly rode an ungovernable horse into
a crowd, and who caused death thereby, was guilty of
murder; and if he rode carelessly into the same crowd,
RTld death ensued, he was held to be guilty of man-
',laughter. He (the Attorey-General) was of opinion
Lnat this rule would govern n
them upon this occasion. He
Would not detain them further with preliminary obscr-
Itltions, but at once proceed to state the circumstances
Which they were that day called on to consider. The
defendant was what was called a " fitter" and occa-
140aal driver on the Eastern Counties Railway. He was
generally stationed at Stratford, and this the jury would
observe would form a particular and important feature
in the case. He was in the habit of driving an engine
Or a considerable time before from Stratford to Horn-
Ord, and and crossing a bridge not far from the station,
Where the telegraph could be distinctly observed by the
Person entrusted with the engine. On Saturday, the
18th of July, the defendant was instructed to take an
ngine over to Romford, and he was accompanied by a
fireman of established character and conpetence, who had
17011 engaged in the company's service for two years
efore. While the prisoner remained at the Romford
station the train for Ipswich lett, and the prisoner,
Whose engine, with five or six empty trucks, was on a
followed in five or six minutes after. The pri-
soner at first went, in obedience to orders, cautiously
enough, but soon after, as he (the Attorney-General)
Would be in a condition to prove, he was ob-
served driving at a furious speed, although he
Was aware that the train was only a quarter
of
a mile before him. He came in sight of one of the
e'Znals, which was so arranged as to show that he was to
F° on at a more moderate speed, and the prisoner while
P ~sght of the signal-man did go slower accordingly. He
'no Attorney-General) would row point out the dis-
tance at which the signal nearest the station could be
seen before arriving at Stratford. This distance was
above four hundred yards, and Captain Coddington,
Who was ordered by the Board of Trade to examine into
the matter, proved by the very engine that was driven
by the prisoner that there was ample power to stop the
carriages before arriving at the Stratford station. The
prisoner had neglected paying attention to the signal
Which was exhibited, and the result was that the engine
rushed into the train which still remained at the station,
and the death of Mr. Hind was the melancholy conse-
quence. Having thus briefly detailed the circumstances
of the case, he would now call witnesses to prove the
facts as they were alleged by him.
James Backhcuse, coach-spring maker to the Eastern
Counties Raile ay, proved that the death of Mr. Hind
resulted from the injuries caused by the concussion at
the Stratford station.
Mr. Bush corroborated this evidence.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKS )N—There were now
blore porters at the Stratford station than before the
necidint. Some additional porters were put on next
day- The " staff," at the time of the accident, was the
station-master, who also acted as clerk. The signal-
-333,' assisted as porter when they were busy, and he
attended to the " points." Since the accident there
Was an additional station-master and signal-man ap-
pointed. Since the accident there was an additional
signal post placed further down the line towards Ilford,
60 that it might be seen at a greater distance from the
station. At the time of the accident he was signal-man
Itt night, and he also attended to the mail train which oc•
casionally stopped there.
Mr. Francis Fobin, surgeon, Clapton, and Mr. Branshy
Cooper, had made a post mortem examination of the body
4:1D4 Mr. Hind, and they were decidedly of opinion that his
eath had resulted from the injuries received on this
occasion.
Mr. Benjamin Richardson, a station-master at Strat-
aigrd—Had been seven years in the company's service.
Be was on duty on the 18th July. The Ipswich train,
past was due at the Stratford station at ten minutes
vast four o'clock, was on this particular day some ten or
twelve minutes after time. It consisted of about twelve
carriages, the last being a second-class carriage. At the
time the men were taking in water, on looking down the
rune, he saw the Fire-fly engine, under the charge of the
P.,risoner, coming in at a rapid rate, between the signal-
-44)4 and the station. The signal was at that time down,
