MARKET NEWS,-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
A very limited quantity of English Wheat was on off in
our market; nevertheless the demand for that article, ari ing
from the improved state of the weather for harvest w rk,
was far from active, at Monday's advance in the quotat ns.
The best parcels of fine foreign Wheat moved off fre ly ;
1
all other qualities slowly, at late rates. Bonded Wheats were
mostly held for more money. No foreign Wheat has come
in this week. For Barley the demand was firm, and a good
clearance was effected, at extreme figures. Malt was in good
request, and quite as dear as last advised. All kinds of Oats,
the,supply of which on sale was small; sold steadily, at very
full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn meal, and Flour, were
quite as dear.

IPSWICH CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 22.
The weather continues very unfavourable, which pre
vents farmers doing much in carting Wheat; a few fine

higher. Oats improved is ; Malt, 2s better; Flour, 3s

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
WHITE V. WILLIAMS.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 51. 2s.
6d., the balance for money lent.
The plaintiff is a widow, carrying on the business of a
salesman in the Borongh-market, and the defendant is a
farmer. From the evidence it appeared that 20/. was :lent
to defendant in July last year, but he sent up some potatoes
which were sold by plaintiff; and realised 141. 7s. 6d., sifter
deducting commission.
For the defence it was, in the first place, endeavoured to
be shown that there was a partnership between plaintiff .and
her sons, whose names were on the carts and cards; but .Mr.
White swore that was only to protect the property, as the
rough lot of costermongers had frequently refused to giv.s up
baskets to him, and said he had nothing to do with the::a—
he and his brother were paid regular wages.
The SIECONDARY considered that there was no questiou as
to the partnership to go to the jury.
It was then urged that if the money was advanced on. the
goods, therefore that the count for" money lent" was biol.
The SECONDARY was of a contrary opinion, and left :the
case to the jury, who found for the amount claimed.
This was the only case.
