oranges, ex Kingsbridge, from Terceira, and one ex
Favourite, from Seville, and a cargo of lemons, ex
Shamrock, from Messina, sold by Keeling and Hunt,
realised full prices, the fruit being required. Further
arrivals from the Azores are daily expected, al-
though the quarantine regulations may probably
interfere with the loading of the vessels. Ches
nuts continue to be pressed on the market and
the price gives way. A further reduction of 3s.
to 4s. per barrel may be quoted. Two cargoes of
new Barcelona nuts are to hand, the opening price of
which is 445, per bag. No price has been fixed for the
large parcel of Brazil arrived, nor is there any disposi-
tion on the part of the trade to purchase at present.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
Lunatic petitions of no interest whatever occupied the
Lord Chancellor the whole morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

HOOPER V. SALMON AND OTHERS.

The fur; her arguments in this part-heard case were re-
sumed this morning, and occupied the Court the whole
day. The arguments were begun on the 21st of July
last, and occupied the Court up to the 28th of that month,
when they were adjourned, and proceeded with on Wed-
nesday and yesterday, and resumed this morning.
The bill was filed in March, 1843, by Peter Hooper,
against William Wroughton Salmon, William Edmund
Tugwell, and Alexander Meek. It prayed for a decree
for the defendants to come to a full account with the
plaintiff respecting all their receipts, payments, dealings,
and transactions as his solicitors, agents, or in any ether
capacity, for delivery of the bills of all such fees and dis-
bursements as were charged against him for a reference to
the Taxing Master to tax the same; for payment to the
plaintiff of what should appear due to him; for the deli-
very up to the plaintiff of all his documents; and for an
injunction to restrain the defendants from bringing any
action against the plaintiff touching the accounts. There
was a cross bill filed by Mr. Tugwell, a defendant to the
original snit. The question was, whether, under the
circumstances, which were complicated, the plaintiff was
entitled to have the accounts with the defendants opened,
or whether he was precluded, by his own signature to
the accounts, from having them further investigated.
