THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Aran 8.
We noticed an increased supply of wheat at this day's
market. The millers took off some quantity, and the trade
was firm at last week's rates. Barley was in small supply, did
not meet a very ready sale, and was a trifle cheaper than last
week. Other things as of late.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—At the
beginning of last week there was more activity in the wheat
trade than for some time past, and prices were made which
had been previously unattainable. Towards the close, how-
ever, the demand somewhat subsided. At to-day's market we
were tolerably supplied with wheat by our farmers, which was
taken by millers at last week's prices. For foreign wheat there
was a moderate inquiry. Of barley we have some foreign
arrivals, but the market has lately been very bare, and buth
grinding and malting qualities are in fair request at full rates.
Oats somewhat more inquired after, and the turn dearer.
Rather more business passing in beans, but peas are neglected.
Linseed remains firm, but not much doing. Hull-made cakes
rather dearer ; foreign in moderate demand, and prices un-
altered. Rapeseed is dull, and somewhat lower. Nothing
doing in cakes.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner LAir.)
IN ER JOHN HENRY DOYEE.
This insolvent, lately part proprietor and editor of the
Weekly Chronicle newspaper, was opposed by Mr. Sargood for
Messrs. Wrigley, Messrs. Stewart and Snow, Mr. R. W.
Russell, and another creditor • Mr. Sturgeon appeared on
behalf of Mr. Norris; and Mr. Nichols supported.
The case has occupied the Court during three days, and a
great quantity of evidence given, to report which in any de-
tail would demand a sacrifice of space which the importance
of the question at issue does not sanction.
The point upon which the opposition turned was a para-
graph in the insolvent's description, wherein a person named
Charles White Dillon was stated to be a partner in the
Weekly Chronicle—a statement which was asserted to be un-
founded by Mr. R, W. Russell, the continuing partner in the
management of that concern.
It appeared that in July, 1849, the insolvent, together with
Mr. Russell and a Mr. Dumphy, entered into an agreement
for the purchase of the Weekly Chronicle for a sum of 5501.,
which was to be paid 3001. in cash, and the remainder in three
bills of exchange—two for 801. each, and the third of 901., at
8, 12, and 15 months respectively. The insolvent and Mr.
Dumphy borrowed 3001. from Mr. Norris, of Bedford-row,
and Mr. Russell paid in 1501. as his quota of the capital.
The purchase money was paid an 1 the bills given to Mr.
Winter, the vendor of the paper, drawn by Mr. Russell on
and accepted by Mr. Edward Russell, of Dublin, the brother
of Mr. Robert Waller Russell, and endorsed by each of the
then partners. Mr. Dumphy remained in the firm until
November, 1849, when he retired, leaving his proportion of
the capital in the concern, and from that time Messrs. Doyle
and Robert Russell were registered at Somerset-house as the
sole proprietors, and during a portion of the time Mr. C. W.
Dillon was registered as the publisher. The insolvent stated
that he looked upon Mr. Dillon in the light of a partner
from the very commencement, his admission into the firm
being assented to by Messrs. Dumphy and Robert Russell
the very day after the completion of the purchase of the
paper.
Mr. Dillon was examined, and gave evidence in corrobo-
ration of the insolvent's statement.

Mr. R.W. Russell, however, repudiated Mr. Dillon as a
partner, alleging that it was contemplated he should become
so on certain conditions, which were . never fulfilled. Mr.
Dillon had been made a bankrupt in 1848, and had not pro-
cured his certificate, but expected to obtain a release from
his creditors, and an avoidance of the bankruptcy, upon
which being done he was to be admitted into the firm, Mr.
Russell agreeing to advance him 250/. to enable him to put
in his share of the capital. The bankruptcy had not ibeen
supersded, and the advance had not been made.
Mr. Dumphy was called, and he denied that during his
continuance in the firm he had ever considered Dillon as a
partner, nor had he understood that upon his retirement
Dillon was to step into his place.
With respect to the three bills given to Mr. Winter, one
801. was paid by the firm, another 801. was paid by Mr. Ed-
ward Russell, who now held a bill for 801. 15s. Id., given in
substitution by Mr. R. W. Russell " for self and partner,"
and the 90/. was still unpaid. Mr. Edward Russell had also
accepted a bill for 1001., drawn upon him by his brother in
the name of the firm, which he had taken up, and upon
which, together with the 801. 15s. Id. bill, he had tried to
make Mr. 12 oyle a bankrupt, but had failed.
The insolvent stated that the original understanding upon
the two bills for 801. and the one for 901. was that the firm
was to pay them if possible, but if not Mr. Robert Russell
would meet them from funds which his brother held of his.
With respect to the 100/. acceptance of Mr. Edward Russell,
the insolvent denied that he ever knew of the bill being
drawn in the name of the firm until it was presented for
payment, and asserted that it was a private bill of Mr.
Robert Russell's, to be met by Mr. E. Russell out of the funds
in his hand.

Mr. R. W. Russell denied both these statements, and said
that his brother's acceptances to the bills were but acts for
the convenience of the firm, and that the 1001. bill had been
accepted in blank for the purpose of making an advance to
Mr. Dillon, in pursuance of the arrangement, if he was re-
leased from his bankruptcy, but that arrangement not being
carried out, it was handed to a creditor of the firm, who was
pressing for payment at the moment.
The case had lasted until half-past five to-day, when, upon
some conference between the parties,
Mr. SAROOOD stated that he was willing then to take
the opinion of the Court upon the question of the part-
nership.
Mr. NiclioLs said if the Court thought the insolvent
ought to alter the description, he should advise him to so.
Mr. Commissioner LAIN- said the inclination of his mind at
that moment was, that Mr. Dillon was not a partner, but
the parties could go on if they liked.
The insolvent observed that he had always considered
Mr. Dillon to be a partner.
Mr. Commissioner LAW remarked that a great deal de-
pended upon the 1001. and the 801. bills accepted by Mr. E.
Russell, and his opinion at present was that they were not
drawn on the private account of Mr. IL W. Russell.
A consultation between the parties ensued, and the follow.
ing addition to the description was assented to by both
sides :—"From the month of July, 1849, negotiating a
partnership to take place between myself and then co-
partner and Charles White Dillon, but which partnership I
consider to have existed during the whole period, but which
is denied by Mr. R. W. Russell."

The case was then adjourned until to-morrow (this day),
to enable the insolvent to make any alterations in his
schedule which the amended description might render ne-
cessary.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
BO tV-STREET.
Thomas Price, aged 19, a clerk in the Legacy Duty-office,
Somerset-house, was charged with breaking open a fellow-
clerk's desk, and stealing a 101. note therefrom.
George Bray, the prosecutor, stated that he was a clerk in
the same office. The prisoner, a Mr. Malkin, and witness
occupied the room No. 9, and they had a desk each. On
Saturday, a quarter's salary being due, the prisoner was de-
puted by witness and Mr. Malkin to receive a portion of
their money when applying to the cashier for his own, and
they furnished him with the requisite forms of receipt. The
prisoner obtained the money, and paid them. The instal-
ment due to witness was 11/. 18s., and he received alOl. note,
a sovereign, and the rest silver, the whole being plaited by
the prisoner in a corner of witness's desk, where he (witness)
afterwards saw it, and left it in safety on Saturday afternoon.
On returning to his office at ten o'clock on Monday morn-
ing, witness heard a report that some of the desks had been
broken open. Witness saw that his own desk had been
forced open, and, upon examination, found that the 101.
note had been taken away. The prisoner said that he had
lost ss. out of his desk. Witness then sent for a policeman,
but was told that Price had done so already.
Robert Malkin, the fellow-clerk of the last witness and
prisoner, deposed that when he reached the office on Monday
morning, he saw the prisoner, who exclaimed, " Here's a
pretty go. All our drawers have been broken open; and
Bray's is the worst."

Eliza Tarrant, the laundress who cleaned the office, de-
posed that she left the room quite safe on Saturday evening,
and found it in the same state on Monday morning, when
she went to dust the things and light the fires. At ten
minutes to eight she left the room No. 9, and went to attend
to her other rooms. At about ten minutes to nine she re-
turned to No. 9, and saw the prisoner, Mr. Price, at his desk.
He said to her, "Somebody has broken open the desks."
Witness replied, "They were not broken open when I left
them, at ten minutes to eight o'clock." He said, " I came
at half-past eight o'clock, and they were broken open then."
No other gentlemen besides Mr. Price had arrived.
The witness Bray here stated that the prisoner told him,
on Monday morning, that he arrived at the office at twenty
minutes to nine o'clock, and looked about for the laundress,
but was unable to find her. He assigned no reason for being
there so early. When there is a pressure of business clerks
sometimes go to business before ten o'clock, but there was no
such pressure at this time.
Mr. Malkin, on re-examination, said the prisoner told him
he had to appear at the Bow-street Police-court at ten
o'clock, and that was what made him go to the office so
early on Monday morning.
The barmaid of Brett's eating-house, in the Strand, proved
that the prisoner, who was known as a customer, changed
a 101. note at her employer's on Saturday, in the middle of
the day. She wrote his name " Thomas Price, Somerset-
house," on the back of the note. He had three glasses of
ale at the time, and paid about 25., which he owed previously.
Police-constable F 67 said that he took the prisoner iato
custody about one o'clock on Sunday morning, having found
him drunk and incapable in the streets. He was locked np
at the station all night. Witness searched him, and found
half a sovereign and 9s. 6d. in silver in his pockets. He
was liberated on bail during the day. He appeared to an-
swer the charge on Monday morning, and was fined ss. by
Mr. hall.

Constable F 88 was in the charge-room on Monday morn-
ing, between eleven and twelve o'clock, when the prisoner
was waiting to go before the magistrate. The prisoner then
produced a 10/. note, stating that he had no smaller money
about him, and asking witness if he could get it changed for
him. Witness took it to Mr. Frost,, the landlord of the
Grapes, near the court, who gave him change for the note.
Witness gave the change to the prisoner.
Mr. Hisay remanded the prisoner for a week, but refused
the application for bail.
MARYLEBOIVE.

A' Pole, named Raciborski, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Baoughton for further examination, charged with hav-
ing stolen from the residence of Lord Dudley Stuart, Strat-
ford-place, a coat, the property of Mr. Birkbeck, a barrister.
It will be remembered that on Friday, the 21st ult., the
prisoner went to the house with a note, addressed to his
Lordship, falsely purporting to be written by Lieutenant
Szulczewski, secretary to the Literary • ssociation of Friends
of Poland, and recommending that 7s. 6d. should be given
to him. During the temporary absence of the servant, who
went upstairs to deliver the said note to his master, with
whom Mr. Birkbeck was dining, the prisoner absconded with
the coat, which was hung up in the hall, and he was ulti-
mately captured in Piccadilly by Wills, 172 C, when he ad-
mitted having stolen the article, and said that he sold it to a
Jew for 45., being at that time much distressed.
The constable now said that he had used every exertion to
find the coat, but without effect.

In reply to a question from the magistrate, it was stated
that the prisoner was not known as having been in custody
at this court upon any former occasion. He had, however,
been taken up for begging.
Mr. BROUGHTON dealt summarily with the case, and sen-
tenced the prisoner to hard labour in the House of Correction
for three months.

LAUGHARNP.—The excitement consequent upon
the return of Elizabeth Gibbs to reside in this picturesque
watering place, continued unabated for more than a week
after, the Assizes, and many of the families who are
located in Laugharne seriously contemplated removing
from such disagreeable proximity. This circumstance
still further' aroused the popular indignation, and on the
night of the 27th ult. Gibb's effigy was duly suspended upon
a gallows, which was erected in front of her dwelling, and
afterwards set fire to, amid the exultation of the mob. On
the following evening, a lengthened mock funeral procession
paraded up and down the street where Elizabeth Gibbs re-
sided, which, by the bye, has had its cognomen metamorphosed
into that of 'Scape-the-Gallows• street. These reiterated
annoyances induced her to leave the town, and accordingly on
Wednesday she passed through Carmarthen on her way to
