MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of
English Wheat for our market this week; yet the show
of samples to-day was very small. For all descriptions
the demand was steady, at fully Monday's advance in the
quotations, at which a clearance was readily effected.
The imports of foreign Wheat have been only 1,540
quarters. There was a steady sale for that article, and
choice qualities were mostly held for more money. In
Barley—the show of which was good—comparatively
little business was doirg, at late rates. Malt was very
dull, but not cheaper. The quantity of foreign Oats
was good ; but the supply of English was small. The
Oat trade ruled heavy, at last week's prices. Beans
Peas, and Indian Corn, commanded very little attention.
The top price of the best town made Flour was advanced
to 465. per 280 lbs.

THE CHARTIST TRIALS.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
THE TRIAL OF FUSSELL.
The body of the court became crowded soon after
half-past nine. The attendance of barristers was very
large. The gallery was but thinly attended.
The Attorney-General entered the court at ten o'clock.
Shortly after the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
accompanied by Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice
Manic, took their seats upon the bench.
Joseph Irenceus John Fussell was then called upon,
and surrendered on his bail. The defendant was placed
immediately under the dock ; when he took up his
position he became an object of curiosity for some
minutes to the Learned Judges and those present. The
following is the charge as set down in the calendar—
" Remanded from the last session, standingindicted for
unlawfully, in the presence and hearing of divers sub-
jects of our lady the Queen, uttering, &c., certain sedi-
tious words against our said lady the Queen and her
goversiment, &c.”
The Attorney-General, with whom were Mr. Welsby,
Air. Bodkin, and Mr. Clarke appeared for the prosecution.
Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Huddlestone appeared
for the defendant.
Mr. Staight, the Clerk of the Arraigns (to the
defendant)—Prisoner at the bar, are you guilty or not
guilty?
Fussell (in a loud voice), Not guilty.
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN then applied to their Lordships
to quash the indictment, or to call upon the Attorney-
General to elect on which counts he should proceed.
The offences charged against the defendant were—
sedition, attending an unlawful assembly, and with riot.
As each count charged a separate and distinct offence,
and as the evidence on each would differ,, ho contended
that tee application he had made should be acceded to.
If it were not, the defendant would be embarrassed in
his defence. He cited authorities in support of his
view.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE followed.
The Learned Judges, having consulted,
Chief Justice WILDE said, his Learned Brothers
agreed with him that the application could not be enter-
tained. It was the duty of the Court to see that the
case against the prisoner was not conducted in in a way
likely to embarrass him in his defence. The whole of
the offences charged might have been committed on one
occasion, and one might resolve itself into the others;
he could not well see how they could be separated. One
of his Learned Brothers had informed him that he once
tried a man who was charged with wounding nine cows
in the same stable. There were nine counts in the in-
dictment, and an objection was made to the indictment,
on the ground that it might resolve itself into nine dis-
tinct charges, and that the prisoner might be
punished on all, but the Court, entertaining a different
opinion, overruled the application. As it appeared from
the indictment that the offences charged were com-
mitted upon one occasion, the Court did not consider
that the prisoner would be embarrassed in his defence.
They could not, therefore, entertain the motion.
The defendant having been again arraigned and
pleaded " Not guilty," as before,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to address' the
jury. He said he could assure them that he should
have been well pleased if he could have terminated his
official career without appearing before them as a public
prosecutor, in any proceeding arising out of the poli-
tical disturbances of the time; but the circumstances which
had led to the institution of this prosecution were such,
that he was quite convinced they would be of opinion,
when they hoard them, that if he had hesitated to assert
the dignity of the law that he should have deservedly
laid himself open to have the severest censure pro-
nounced upon him. Not only had the prisoner at
the bar been guilty of conduct whh
time would have rendered him liable
toic the at
utmost
any
punishment that the law could inflict vpon him, he
had taken advantage of the temporary distress t but
hat ra-
vailed in the country to excite the passions of the multi-
tude, and this prosecution had been instituted not only
to warn others who may have become the victims of
such arts, owing to their distress and ignorance, but
to assure the well-disposed subjects of the Queen that
the law is strong enough, and that its administrators are
ready to punish with severity those guilty of a violation
of the public pace. They would concur with him in
thinking that it was not right that ho country should
be kept in a continual state of alarm, and that those uho
came forward to maintain the public peace, and to assist
the Government in suppressing disturbances, should
be kept continually in a state of excitement by
those who [feted like the defendant and others, doing
their beat to paralyse trade, to the successful carrying
on of which alone could they hone for support. He had
made these prefatory remarks in justification, it justifica-
tion were required, with respect to the course which he
had felt it his duty on behalf of the Government to pur-
sue on this occasion; but it was altogether unnecessary
for him to warn them, who were gentlemen of great ex-
Perience, that they must not allow themselves in the
Course of these proceedings to be influenced by any
notives, WO that which as good citizens, desirous of
Preserving the peace of the country, they should be
actuated, They of course must take into consideration
Ulf, evidence alone which would be produced before
them, and dismiss from their minds, as far rs they could,
e.ll which they had either heard, read, or
1104 to the matter before them seen, in vela-
, before they entered that
