MARKETS.-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

Influenced by the rain to-day the grain trade has been
rather less firm, and the tendency has been rather ad-
verse to operators. As regards English wheat the re-
ceipts have been limited. There has been a fair attend-
ance of millers, but transactions have been freely con-
cluded, and forced sales could only have been effected
on lower terms. The show of foreign wheat has been
moderate. The trade has been quiet at barely late rates.
The market has been moderately supplied with barley.
The demand has been steady at full currencies. Malt
has been quiet on former terms. Oats have been in re-
quest, and have commanded extreme prices. Beans and
peas have been firm at Monday's quotations. Flour has
been dull at previous rates.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—THIS DAT.
QUESTION OF SCOTCH DOMICILE.—Vice-Chance
James delivered judgment in the case of Aitcheson
v. Dixon. The question at issue was, whether the
widow of Mr. Allen was entitled to property left her
by Mr. John Gough, who, at the time of his dea th
was possessed of considerable wealth. The plaintiffs
disputed her claim, alleging that the domicile of Mr.
Allen was Scotch, and that the property in dispute,
according to Scotch law, could not vest in Mrs. Allen. Mr.
Allen was born in Scotland, and had carried on business
with his father as a banker in Edinburgh. He came
to England, and the remarried Mrs. Allen. They
went to Scotland, where they resided until 1843. They
then went abroad, and Mr. Allen did not return to Scot-
land, but a house was purchased at Brighton, where they
settled. His Honour was of opinion that the domicile of
Mr. Allen at the time of his death was at Brighton and
not in Scotland, and dismissed the bill of the plaintiffs
with costs.

Benoh the action brought by Sir J. P. Shelley, Bart.,
