INDIC,O.—A 'though East India is offered rather under
D revkous rates, yet exporters and home dealers evince
'Palo desire to operate, as an impression prevails that
plici3s will rule lower. The quantity declared for
auction is now 21,428 chts, and which is much more
the n will be required. With Spanish the market is well
sup plied; good to fino qualities have sustained previous
ratt:s; but a reduction of ld to 2d per lb has taken place
for ord and mid. Of 650 serons Guatemala at auction,
two-thirds found buyers; Sobres at 2s 9d to 3s ad, Cor-
t es 3s 8d to 4s 9d per lb.

public) sale to-day 16 cases 12 bags Bombay wore taken
in at 25s for 46 to 51 per cent refraction, and not re-
fracted 27s 6i. British Refined 29s 61 to 30s. Several
transactions have taken place in Nitrate of Soda at 14e
6d to 154.

Mr. Baron MARTIN said, the judgment of Lord
Denman did not admit of any such construction. The
Learned Baron then asked whether there was any
doubt as to the parties possessing sufficient property
to be bail in this case ?

Mr. SILL said there was no objection on that
ground.

Mr. Baron MARTIN—Then they ought to have
been accepted before. It was quite wrong that the
defendant should have been detained in custody so
long. The object of bail was to secure by a pecu-
niary penalty the appearance of the prisoner at the
trial, and the persons who entered into that bail ought
to be able to pay that penalty in the event of the
prisoner not appearing. The law said that that
would be the consequence. It at the same time gave
a discretionary power to the magistrates to fix the
bail, not at an unreasonable, but a proper amount.
Suppose a man were innocent ; it would be very un-
fortunate that he should be held to bail at all ; but if
a true bill were found against him and he did not ap-
pear, the money would then have to be paid by the
bail, but they would have the power of arresting him
in any part of the kingdom ; and they all knew per•
fectly well that if real efforts were made to arrest
him he could be taken. Supposing, then, that he
actually got out of the way, it must be by leaving
the country, so that, in effect, the man would really
be banished.
The application was accordingly granted, and the
defendant was ordered to be held to bail by two sure-
tie sin the sum of 1001. each, and on his own recog.
niaance in the sum of 2001.

FRUlT.—Since our last we have had another cargo of
New Patras Currants, similar in quality to the first
cargo. It sold readily at 425. Yesterday 107 butts
133 caroteels and 132 brls old Patras, part damaged, were
offered at public sale, but wore taken in, there being no
bids. Several more cargoes of new Valencia Raisins
arrived this week, with sellers at 374 to 38s, still there
is not much doing.
TALLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow
wont at easier rates; 600 packages South American at
35s to 38s 6d, low 34s to 34s 6d, 101 casks Australian,
Beef 36s 6d to 37s 6d: 38. to 39s for Mutton.
OlLS.—There is a reluctance to operate in Seal, and
holders appear disposed to sell, pale at 331 to 33/ 10s :
other sorts 301 to 32/ lOs per tun; and there is an
increasing supply. Cod is offered at 361 ; yet fewer
transactions have taken place, and a reduction is
looked for. Southern has been operated in with re-
luctance : low to mid at 311 to 32/, and good to
fine 321103 to 33/ 10s; there will be a more plentiful
supply shortly, so that a reduction is looked for.
Sperm is still held with firmness, and a good demand
prevails at 83/ to 871 for fair to fine. Headmatter
is yet scarce, and realists 291 to 34/. For Olive
there is an active demand, and a rise has taken
place ; Gallipoli selling at 411 to 411 10s, and
other sorts 391 10s to 401 lOs per tun. Linseed Oil met
with little attention from home dealers; and few export
orders have been completed, although there are sellers
at 31s 3d to 31s 6d. For delivery transactions are of
little moment; the rates taken are 30. 9d to 31.,
and for the early part of next season 30s 3d to 30s 6d. A
good demand exists for Rape Oil, and prices are firm—
brown at 31s to 31s 6d, pale 32s to 32s 6d. Refined
Foreign 33s 6d to 345. Palm is in much better request,
and an advance has taken place, sales having been made
at 27s to 28s for fine quality. For Cocoa Nut there is
a qniet market; with sellers of Cochin at 32s to 34s ;
Ceylon Ms to 335; Sydney at 28. to 308 6d. Lard Oil
is worth 42s to 455; East India Ground Nut 31s to 31s
6d per owt.

David Wechio, of Swansea, Glamorganshire, malt-
ster, and James Morris, of the same place, wheeler,
were accepted as bail.
Mr. SILL hoped his Lordship would permit him to
refer for a moment to a matter personal to himself.
It was stated on the last occasion that he (Mr. Sill)
had received two sums of money from the defendants
—251. and 151. ; and it had gone forth that his
Lordship had censured his (Mr. Sill's) conduct on
that occasion, as if be bad received the money for
his own purposes. It would be highly satisfactory
to himself if his Lordship would expressly state
what it was that really did fall from him on that
occasion.

Mr. Baron MARTIN believed that what he said on
the occasion referred to was that after the explana-
tion given by Mr. Sill he was perfectly satisfied that
the money had not been received by bim to be put
into his own pocket, but to defray certain expenses
which had been incurred in consequence of some in-
dulgence having been granted by the prosecutor's at-
torney to the defendants. But he at the same time
added that it was a thing which ought not to have
been done, and that if such a practice were to pre-
vail it would be open to very great abuse.

Applicant, with tears in her eyes, said that her bro-
ther, who was formerly a respectable master trades-
man, residing in the neighbourhood of this court, but
who was reduced through unforeseen circumstances,
was suddenly seized with illness and confined to his
bed. She was written to, as his only relation and
friend, to attend upon him; and, being in distressed
circumstances herself, she endeavoured to raise some
money to enable her to come to London, when she
found her brother in a state of unconsciousness.
While in a helpless state a summons was served upon
her claiming from her brother 19s. 21. for a quarter's
poor-rate due to the parish of St. Pancras. It was
served upon her by a broker, who threatened to seize
the few articles in the place if the money were not
paid on the following day. She was much intimi-
dated, and became ill herself. In addition to this
annoyance, the landlord of her brother, hearing of her
brother's illness, immediately came and threatened
her if she dared to remove any article belonging to
him. In this state of excitement her unfortunate
brother breathed his last, on which the landlord put
in a broker for the rent due, and a man was placed in
possession of the small quantity of goods, and her
deceased brother's remains, which had been deposited
in his coffin. She was in great distress, and under
her embarrassed circumstances, she was urged by her
neighbours to make this application, in order that she
might receive some protection and assistance against
her heartless oppressors.
Mr. TYRWEIITT humanely ordered her 11. out of
the poor-box, for which she felt grateful, and ex-
pressed her thanks to the worthy magistrate.
LAMBETH.

A few days ago two young women named Helen
and Flora &cies, residing at le, South Lambeth,
and who appeared to have had a superior education,
waited upon the Hon. Mr. Norton for assistance.
They stated that there were fourteen in the family,
and that their father had recently left them in great
distress. They were able to take situations in re-
spectable families as governesses or companions to
any lady, but they had no friends to assist them in
procuring any, consequently they thought it advi-
sable to attend before his worship to state their suf-
ferings, and that through the means of the public
press they might attain their object.
Mr. NORTON, after hearing their statement, di-
rected Saunders, one of the summoning officers at-
tached to the court, to inquire into their characters,
and report to him the result of his investigation.
Xesterday afternoon Saunders introduced the young
ladies to his Worship, and said that he had made very
minute inquiries respecting them, and was certain
they deserved the sympathy of some benevolent indi-
vidual. 'What they wanted was situations, that they
might be enabled to maintain themselves honourably,
and assist to support their brothers and sisters, wbo
were unable to work for themselves. One of their
brothers got into trouble at this court some time ago,
which had so prayed on their father's mind that he
had left them totally unprovided for. He (Saunders)
had been to Mr. Peckham, of the Vine Tavern,
Bishopigate, also Mr. Clements, of the Monarch In-
surance-office, who had known the family for years.
Those gentlemen informed him that their father once
had considerable property in the country, but had
been ruined by bad speculations and the conduct of
one of his sons. They spoke very highly of the ap-
plicants, and stated that they should be happy to as-
sist them, were it in their power. He had also
made inquiries about the neighbourhood i❑ which
they resided, and found them to be worthy of com-
miseration.
