currency, but Mocha sold at a decline of is per cwt,
chiefly at 45s to 46s for clean garbled. La Guayra

TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is 44s 6d to 44s 9d per cwt. on
the spot, and town 46s 6d.
TEd.—The market is quiet.
TOBACCO. The market presented no particular
feature last month, but continued in the same
comparatively neglected state it has dune for
some time past ; transactions generally have been
of a very limited character, and although statements
were freely circulated relative to the short
supply of Kentucky strips put up, said not to
exceed 5,500 hogsheads, buyers have not been in-
duced to purchase beyond their immediate wants; re-
cent advices tend to confirm the statements alluded to,
but we have not observed any indisposition on the part
of holders to effect sales at previous rates. Sales last
month may be estimated at 7uo hogsheads.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Guildhall, belore the LORD CHIEF BARON 7
and a Common Jury.)
CROSS V. BARKER.

This was an action brought for false imprisonmee t.
The plaintiff was formerly a porter in the employ of the
defendant., the proprietor of a steel-yard, it, Tb am, Is-
street, and in April, 1846, he was sent to dvi..:Yer a
quantity of sheet-iron, for which he was to obtain a re-
ceipt in the delivery-beck. On his return, he diacomered.
that he had lost the delivery-book. The defendant • gave
him into custody, and he was locked up in Boa '-lane
station all night. On the following morning Sir Peter
Laurie dismissed the charge. Subsequently the book
was found in the streets and returned to the defends nt.

For the defence it was contended that the prevarica, ting
statements of the plaintiff himself as to the missing b ook
led to his arrest. He had, moreover, allowed two years
to elapse before bringing his action.
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, ls.

Newgate about the middle of last month.
The RECORDER sentenced him to three weeks' im•
