and Common Juries.)
NISS V. DAVIS.

This was a case brought on for the purpose of trying and
deciding a technical law point. The facts of the case were
these :—The plaintiff was attorney in a case in which he
obtained a judgment against a person named Carroll for a
debt of 240 L, and for 'which he had been arrested and given
in to the custody of the defendant, who is high sheriff of the
county of Radnor ; that Carroll was brought up to London
under a habeas in the month of February, 1846,
in the custody of the sheriff's officer, and that
while in London he was permitted to go about
town and transact some business, and went to Hampstead on
the Sunday, but was not at any time out of the custody of
the officer. The allegation of the plaintiff was, that tbic; con-
stituted an escape in law from the custody of the sheriff, and
the case was now brought before the Court merely for the
purpose of having the point decided. The case was one in
which there was a great deal of dry law argument, and had
not terminated when our report left.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 15.)
SUGAR.—This afternoon the market was better supplied
with West India Muscovadoe Sugar, still grocers and re-
finers were eager purchasers of all descriptions, and the
parcels offered at public sale went briskly at full rates.
REFINED.—There has been a cona'derable increase in the
demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption this week ;
all descriptions have been extensively dealt in, and in conse-
quence of the limited supply buyers have been compelled to
pay an advance on former rates of is to 2s per cwt.
NIAURITIVS—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in ex-
cellent request, and 7,906 bags 18 casks at auction were all
sold at fully former rates, and in some cases even 6d per
cwt advance.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with at-
tention, and 823 bags at public sale were sold at full rates.
FORElGN—Although the arrivals of Foreign have been
upon a more extended scale this week, still merchants have
shown firmness and refrained from offering at any auction.
The stock still shows a decrease in comparison with that of
this time last year. Brown Brazil has been in extensive re-
quest and brought rather higher rates.
MoLAssEs—All fresh descriptions of West India are much
sought after, and rather higher rates have been paid. The
supply is small of all descriptions, and the stock is con-
siderably less than it was last year atthis time,but prices are
higher. Bengal Treacle has met with increased attention,
and prices are going up. In low kinds of Honey large sales
have been made, but the better sorts are at present little
wanted.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was only in limited
request, and 123 bales at auction went at rather lower rates.
Of Bahia 117 bags were taken in at 38s for fine ordinary
dingy. 160 bags Java at 50s for good yellow Comuany's :
20 bales Malabar fine yellow at 45s ; 134 bags Plantation
Ceylon, fine fine ordinary coloury 655, and 30 casks of Ber-
bice unclean, fine and fine fine ordinary 548 to 635, ordinary
and good ordinary 45s to 50s, being all above the value.
TEA.—Although the arrivals continue to be heavy, still
merchants have cofidence, and refrain from offering any at
public sale. There has been only a limited demand for Con-
gou, this week, but full rates are insisted upon. Pouchong
has been disposed of to a fair extent at 4d to 10d. Hyson
has been in excellent request. Of young Hyson several
parcels have been disposed of upon former terms. There has
been a good business transacted in Twankay at full rates.
Holders of Imperial and Gunpowder having. been free sellers
at late rates, caused several parcels to be disposed of. Fine
scented Orange Pekoe has been taken more freely, but not at
better prices, 2s per lb being taken.
Rim—This afternoon the market was abundantly sup-
plied with Bengal Rice ; at public sale 6,040 bags were
offered, but the whole sold, in consequence of merchants ac-
cepting rather lower rates for white, and 6d per cwt decline
for yellow.
SPICES.—This afternoon Pimento was purchased with
Citation, and the sound of 231 bags at auction was nearly all
withdrawn at 33/id for middling, B%d to 3%d for low mid-
dling, but the damaged sold at 31,4 dto 3%d. Of Mace 15
chests went at 2s 9d to 2s lld for middling Singapore, 2s 10d
for Penang • 8 casks 48 bags Bourbon Cloves taken in at
9d to ls.

FRUIT.—In Currants there has been a good deal done this
week, Zante and Cephalonia at 465, Patras, 46s to 48s. The
importers are evidently disposed to facilitate sales, to meet
the present demand, expecting further arrivals.
SPIRITS.—The market has assumed a quiet appearance for
Jamaica Rum, the trade purchasing with much caution, and
former rates are not obtainable, there being a larger quantity
on show. In Leeward Island there has been very little
business transacted, and prices are on the deline. Calcutta
is dull of sale, and there are sellers of proof with certificate
at ls. 9d. For. strong Demerara former rates are asked,
but the demand has been only for small parcels
Holders of Brandy are for the most part unwilling to further
reduce their prices, but the parchapes have been limited.
Geneva is little wanted for exportation, and prices are droop-
ing, is 10d to 2s being taken for common; tine for home
consumption has been in less request, but 2s 6d to 3s are
rates insisted upon. The market for Corn Spirits has still a
dull appearance, but prices remain at lOs 6d for English nett
cash ; lOs 4d to lOs ad for Irish and Scotch.
CocumEAL.—There has been less demand, but holders
generally are unwilling to take lower rates : of 151 bags of
Honduras offered at auction, a part only found purchasers at
about previous prices,
SALTPETIM—HoIders of Rough have shown more firmness
this week, and refrained from offering any at auction ; there
has been more desire shown to operate privately, and several
parcels have been taken, but holders are unable to obtain
higher prices.
TunrEwrisuz.—Spirits are offered upon lower terms, still
the demand has been limited at 42s to 435, and the stock is
a large one. For rough more money is insisted upon; but
only a limited business has been done.
TaF is wanted, the supply at present is small,
Ou.s.—This afternoon at public sale 47 tuns of Sperm Oil
and Headmatter were offered, and went a little cheaper, viz.
