EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY )
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
FRITH V. ROTHERAM.
This was ai-2 action of assumpsit, brought to recover 1,0001.
on a bond given by the defendant to the plaintiff, who was
the manager of the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Bank,
as a security for the repayment of his account current with
the Banking Company. The bond was upon a GI. stamp.
and on the trial of the cause it was contended for the de-
fence that the bond included accumulated interest and com-
mission on the 1,400/., which made the amount received by
the instrument indefinite, and therefore the bond ought to
have been uzia a 251., instead of a 6/., stamp. The Learned
Judge who flied the cause, however, overruled this objection,
rind the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. MARTIN' now moved for a rule nisi, to show cause why
the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered on
the Ss me ground as that urged upon the trial. The Learned
Counsel relied, in support of bis argument, upon the case ofCiY
on v. Cass, which was similar to the one now before the
Court. Thet case was argued by Mr. Baron Alderson before
'
Mr. Baron Parke, who gave judgment for the defendant, awl
he urged that judgment in support of his present motion.
Mr. Baron PARKE said he delivered that judgment in an
early stage of his judicial career, and on subsequently look-
mg
err
• into one or two cases on the point, his judgment mut
rent a material change.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said he thought at the time he was
too succes.iful.
LORD CHIEF BARON ruled that commission and in-
terest was not so included in the bond as to render it neces-
sary et, increase the amount of stamp duty, and the rest of
the r.Qt concurring in this opinion, the motion was ne-
gatived

SE( VARIES.--(THIS DAY.)

RXEKELLER V. KNIGHT.
'4ll i s was aw action brought to recover damages for an
ast.3,4‘
Er. PEARSON stated the ease for the plaintiff, who is a
saldier anuaro,tss maker in London-street, Greenwich, and
the scend a limutenant in theltoyal Marines, on board
the InPu3.
In October last, during the holding of
c4na
the defendant, with many
Horn yak at Clisr4,o4

_
others, went masked, defendant representing a bear.
There was also another masquerader, a young lady,
dressed as a boy, and all the parties afterwards met at
the George Inn, Maize-hill. It would probably transpire
that there was some degree of jealousy in the case, but at all
events the defendant struck the plaintiff without the slightest
provocation, and when plaintiff was wholly unable to defend
himself; the blow was very severe, and the plaintiff was for
a long time confined to his bed, and under surgical treatment.
Mr. Wm. Farmer, broker, of Straits Mouth, Greenwich,
examined—Knew plaintiff, and accompanied him to Charlton
fair. They were not masked. On going to the George
they saw defendant at the bar; he had a mask on and
was dressed like a bear, and looked very ferocious
as he walked about.—(Laughter.) Had seen him in the
fair in the same dress. Witness saw a Miss Doughty
drinking at the bar with defendant. Defendant
had run away with her about a fortnight before. Witness
said, " Miss Doughty, your father is up stairs." Said that to
prevent any disagreeable meeting, and Miss Doughty thanked
him. Defendant, however, took offence, not at witness, but
at plaintiff, and struck him a -violent blow on the head with
the stick produced (a complete bludgeon). It felled
him to the ground. and left hiwi insensible. Wit-
ness thought plaintiff was killed, and seized defendant,
who made his way to a carriage, and got into it ; but the
police went up. Plaintiff had not uttered a word. The
young lady dressed as a boy told him Miss D. was at the bar.
Defendant said he would pay all expenses. Other witnesses
deposed to the extent of the injuries.
Thomas Spurn, R 55, found plaintiff lying on the ground,
and went after defendant, whb was in a carriage. A friend
was expostulating, and endeavouring to induce him to make
peace. observing, " You gave him a devil of a good blow ;"
and defendant replied, " I know I gave him a good crack."
The identity of the defendant in disguise was rather diffi-
cult, and the Secondary, in his notes, described him as " the
man in the bear-skin." Defendant, however, gave his right
address to the officer.
The SECONDARY said it appeared to him a wanton, un-
provoked, and cruel assault. It was the province of the jury
to mark their indignation of such conduct resulting from
such freaks and foolish indulgences, by giving proper redress
to the plaintiff to check such conduct.—Damages 40/.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the L•ndcne New Price Current of Jan. 16.)

S ucian.—To- day importers of West India Sugar were un-
willing to further reduce their prices, but the demand was
limited for all qualities, the purchases amounting to only
204 hhds and trs in the private market. At public sale 88
trs, 20 half ditto, and 35 barrels of chrystallised Demerara
Sugar were however sold at stiff rates—viz., fine grainy at
63s to 64s 6d, good 58s 6d to 60s, good middling 56s to
57s 6d, and middling 54s 6d to 55s 6d per cwt. The total
sales for the week amount to only 1,062 blids and trs.
REFINED.—There has been a falling off in the demand for
all descriptions of Refined Sugar for home consumption this
week, and more disposition has been shown to realise ; stocks
having slightly increased, the limited business transacted
has been at a reduction on previous rates of 6d to is per cwt.
The refiners are working more freely, prices being still on the
decline for raw sugar of every sort. In the value of Pieces little
variation has taken place, but less business has been transacted,
For Bastards there are few buyers to be met with, and they
are offered at a further decline in prices. Crushed Sugar
manufactured here under bond has sustained the former value
of 83s 9d to 34s per cwt, there being scarcely any to be had
on the spot, and the refiners previously having sold all they
could make for some time ; but there has been less desire
manifested to do business this week at iormer rates. Treacle
is little wanted.

MAURITIUS.-Importers of this description for the most
part show firmness; on Tuesday 637 bags were submitted to
public competition, which, however, went at a decline on pre-
vious rates of 6d to is per cwt. yesterday, however, at a
public auction of 10,298 bags 44 casks and 244 barrel, mer-
chants evinced more firmness, and obtained prices rather in
advance, that the rates of last week are sustained for all
descriptions.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon at public sale 2,129 bags of
Bengal and 554 bags of Madras was offered ; the former
mostly sold at the previous value, viz., good white at 53s to
53 6d, middling 51s 6d to 52. s 6d, damp and washed 49s 6d
to 543 fine sound strong Dobah kind 54s 6d to 555, fine yellow
Mauritius kind 51s, good 495, low 45s to 45s 6d, and washed
44s 6d ; the latter all sold at the full worth, middling yellow
fetched 44s 6d to 465, damp and washed 43s to 45s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-This afternoon, at public sale, 90 barrels Per-
nambuco Sugar were all sold, middling soft white at 23s to
245, low 20s to 225, damp and washed 20s to 21s : 209 mats
Savanilla went as follows-mid bright damp yellow 20s,
washed 19s, tine damp yellow Loaves 22s per cwt.
MOLASSEES.-Prices are sustained for West India, the
stock being small, and much less than it was last year ; a
fair business has been transacted privately, and Demerara of
fair mid quality has brought 21s 6d. Bengal Treacle is at
present not much wanted, but holders refrain from pressing
srle, and require 20s to 21s per cwt for good quality. For
Honey a decline in prices has taken place, and there is a
larger quantity offering for sale.
COFFEE.-This afternoon Mocha Coffee met with little
attention, and 361 bales were offered at auction, about
half sold at a decline on former rates at 3s to 4s
per cwt-good yellow long berry went at 70s to 71s, low
middling brownish was taken in at 501 to 545, which is above
the value. Of Ceylon 240 bags were sold at the full worth,
bulked good ordinary pale went at 48s, low ordinary 46s to
471; country damaged 35s 6d, and sea damaged 38s 6d ;
15 casks British Plantation were bought in. 45 barrels Rio
sold, middling at 58s to 60s, fine fine ordinary 50s, and fine
ordinary 365.
COCOA-There has been a better demand for West India,
but holders have been unable to obtain any advance in
prices-at auction 111 bags of Trinidad were sold, middling
dark red at 431 6d, middling grey 413, low 35s to 375, and
sea damaged 245. The market having been supplied with
Foreign, a decline in the value has taken place-at public
sale 550 bags Para were sold, good ordinary dull grey 30s,
rather better 31s to 31s 6d, middling red 335, good fair 30s
6d to 51s, and sea damsged 27s to 28s per cwt.
liscE.-To day at public sale 289 boxes Pearl Sago sold at
80s to 30s 6d for good small Pearl, which is cheaper.
SPICES.-To-day the market was much better supplied
with black Pepper-at public sale 3,760 bags offered, nearly
the whole sold, but at a decline on former rates of id for Ba-
tavia, and 1,4 d per lb for Penang. Of Cassia Lignea the supply
is on the increase ; of 1,455 chests at auction a fair propor-
tion sold, but at a decline in former rates of is to 2s. 100
bags of Bourbon Cloves, only partly sold at 9hd to 90,
common 81jd, faint mouldy 8d to 9id ; white is cheaper-good
bold was taken in at 10d per lb.
Srmuss.-Importers of Jamaica Rum have been more in-
clined to realize since our last report, and submitted to a re-
duction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon for the lowand
middling qualities, and rather lower prices for good
and fine kinds. A reduction of 2d to 3d per gallon
having been submitted to for Demerara, occasioned
a much better demand, and the large quantity of
450 puns were disposed of. Leeward Island is not to be had
at any further decline, but there has been little desire shown
to operate. Calcutta is held for the former value, but the
demand has been only for small parcels. In Brandy sales
to a large extent have been made at full rates. Holders of
all kinds show much firmness. Of Geneva several parcels
have been taken for shipping at 2s 2d to 2s 3d for common,
fine for home use selling at 2s 6d so 2s 6d to 2s 10d in small
quantities.
TEL-There has been a brisk demand for Congou, and
the advanced rates previously established have been fully
supported for all descriptions. In Pouchong there has been
a good business transacted. In Twankay several purchases
have been made. Hyson has been in excellent request at
the advanced rates previously established. Young Hyson
and Hyson Skin have been disposed of to a fair extent
at the previous currency. Gunpowder is wanted. In
Imperial a good business has been transacted. Of other de-
scriptioui Of Tea several parcels have been disposed of upon
former rates. None has again been submitted to public
Competition, and at present none is declared, although
further parcels have come in.
