CORN EXCHANGE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.)
DUGDALR V. STANTON.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate, and the de-
mand for most kinds ruled steady, on rather higher terins
All spring corn moved off freely; and the quotations had
an upward tendency.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the well-
known print and bookseller of Holywell•street, Strand,
against the defendant, agent to the Society for the Sup-
pression of Vice, for illegally searching his premises and
seizing certain goods, and also with having assaulted him.
The defence was, that the defendant legally and properly
entered the plaintiff's house and seized certain plates
and prints of an obscene character which the plaintiff
bad then for sale, and that as regarded the assault the
defendant only used sufficient force to pass the plaintiff,
who obstructed him from doing so.
Mr. Edwin James, Q C., and Mr. Gifford appeared
for the plaintiff, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Clarkson
for the defendant.

The Continental markets still continue firm for wheat,
at very full prices, notwithstanding that large imports
have lately taken place. Firm advices continue to reach
us from the United States.

Irp to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were limited. From abroad we received only 4,002 qrs. of
wheat, 160 barley, 9,629 oats, 1,830 beans, 5,393 linseed,
8,617 rapeseed, 7 mustard seed, 30 sundry seeds, 2,252
sacks and 4,411 barrels of flout.

A very limited supply of wheat was received up to our
market to-day from Kent, whilst the receipts from Essex,
Suffolk, &c., were very moderate. The show of samples
of both red and white was small. On the whole, the trade
ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations realised on
Monday last of 3s per quarter. The general condition of
the supply was by no means first-rate.
We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex granary. For nearly all kinds there WAS
a good retail demand, and the quotations were again in
favour of sellers by 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were in good request, both for
France and Belgium.
The show of both English and foreign barley was very
limited, and the whole of the supply was cleared off at is
advance.

Mr. James having commenced addressing the jury for

the plaintiff,

The Lord Chief Baron suggested that it would be
better to take the case in private, and after ascertaining
the facts, come t') this Court and argue any point of law
that might arite.

Sir F. Thesiger said he thought it desirable, and was
ready and willing to consent to that course.

Mr. James said a very important point of law as in.
volved in the case, viz., whether the society's agent had
a right to enter a person's house without a warrant,
search it, and seizs what he thought proper. He had
no objection to refer the case as suggested.
A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, subject to
a reference.

Malt, the supply of which was moderate, sold to a fair
extent, and lato rates were wed supported—indeed fine
parcels wore 2s dearer.
We were very scantily supplied with oats, for which the
demand was firm, and prices were 6d. to ls. higher than
last week.

Beans were scarce, and grey were quite as dear as last
week; white parcels ls. higher.
The supply of peas was so extremely limited that the
quotations were almost nominal. The flour trade was
firm, and country marks were keld for more money.
Norfolka were quoted 2s higher. Town made advanced to
68s per 280 lbs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
BEATTIE V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY
COMPANY.

This was an action for the infringement of a patent
for a lathe for turning wheels for locomotive engines
and carriages. The case, which is devoid of interest
to all except the parties engaged, is expected to occupy
the Court the whole of the day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE STRAIIAN, PAUL, AND CO.

The imports of foreign stock into London last week were
tolerably good—the total supply being 3,580 head. Tn the
corresponding week in 1855 we received 4,659 ; in 1851,
5,452 ; in 1853, 6,585 ; in 1852, 5,056 ; in 1851, 4,691; and
in 1850, 3,502 head.

DIVIDEND.—To-day was appointed for a Dividend
Meeting under the estate of these bankrupts. They
were brought up in custody under an order from the
Secretary of State, in order that they might examine
the different proofs tendered. They wore their private
clothes and were accommodated with a private room.
Mr. Lawrence appeared for the assignees. The proofs
tendered were of no great amount, anti no discussion of
any interest ensued. The amount of the dividends both
on the joint and separate estates will not he officially de-
clared till a few days, but Mr. Bell, the official assignee,
expects it will be about I.s. in the pound on said estate.
The bankrupts were then sent back to their place of
confinement.

Our continental advices state that all kinds of stock still
continue very high in price. In Holland, Belgium, and
Spain large purchases continue to be made on French
account. The Portuguese beasts lately sold hero have paid
tolerably well.
We had a very moderate show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and its general quality was inferior.
The arrivals of home•fed beasts were very limited, com-
pared with Monday last, and, owing to an increased num-
ber of buyers being in attendance, the demand for all breeds
ruled very brisk—indeed, this was the dearest market held
for a considerable time, at an advance in the quotations of
from 4d to 6d per Sibs. The pest Scots were worth 5s 4d
per 8 lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,560 Scots and short horns; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 250 Scots,
and from Ireland, 25 oxen.
There was a considerable fulling of in the show of sheep,
and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. The
mutton trade ruled brisk, at, compared with Monday last,
an improvement in value of from 24 to 44 per 81bs. The
best Downs, in the wool, were worth 6s, out of the wool 5s
64 per 81bs.
Lambs were in moderate supply and good request, at full
quotations, viz., 4s 104 to 5s 104 per 81bs.
There was a fair show of calves, which sold readily at
fully Friday's improvement in value.
The pork trade was firm, and, in some instances, the quo-
tations had an upward tendency.
