LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day).

CITY SHERIFP COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)

KELLY V. THE GENERAL STEAM 17AVIGATION COMPANY-

IMPORTANT TO RXCURSIONISTR.

This was an action to recover damages for breach of
contract under the following circumstances :
It appeared that on the 17th August last plaintiff took
a ticket for an excursion to M3,rgate and back by the
Eagle, one of the company's boats. They reached Mar-
gate at 3 o'clock, and went ashcre for a short time and
returned, when the vessel, on putting out from the
harbour, ran aground, and the passengers had to be put
on shore again in small boats, and a notice was put up
that the Eagle would leave for London at 10 o'clock at
night. Plaintiff, however, refused to wait, and
took a ticket by the railway, as he was obliged
to be at the Tames office at half-past four
in the morning, being the manager of a news-agent at
the West-end. He attributed the detention to the
Eagle not going in to the jetty instead of the stone pier ;
but this, he understood, was according to signal by the
harbour-master.

His Honour said that in that case the company were
not liable, but the harbour-master, if any one. The
captains were required by the act of Parliament to obey
the harbour-master.

The plaintiff asked whether he could bring an action
against that officer ? There was negligence somewhere.

His Honour did not know what course could be taken.
There might have been no fault on the part of the har-
bour-master ; but these little disappointments were to be
expected where the " wind and the waves" were con-
cerned. On ono occasion he was 37 or 38 hours coming
up, instead of 7 or 8, as he expected, but he never dreamt
of bringing an action.

Plaintiff—Probably not, sir. It is different with me,
working hard days and wishing for relaxation one day
in the week, and I might have enjoyed it but for the
neglect or carelessness of the company or their people.
His Honour—Well, show me that.
Plaintiff—They ought to have gone to the jetty.
His Honour—Have you any witnesses
Pl.i.tif£ N., I

His Honour —Then I do not think you have made out
a case. You must be nonsuited.
Nonsuited accordingly.

POLICE 1 INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN IMPUDENT THlEL—Brilliant Spencer Freeman, a
wide-awake looking young fellow, with a wooden leg,
was charged before Mr. Beaden, with stealing four sove-
reigns, belonging to Adolphe Drtim, waiter at the Hotel
Provence, Leicester-square.
It appeared that the prosecutor, on Saturday night,
was much pressed for change, and in the absence of the
regular porter of the establishment he gave the prisoner,
whom he had known for some time, four sovereigns to
get changed for silver. The prisoner, however, absconded,
and prosecutor saw no more of him till the previous
night, when he gave him in charge.
Two former convictions having been proved against
the prisoner, the latter said in both those cases it was
proved that he was a servant at the time the theft was
committed, but in this instance he volunteered his ser-
vices to the prosecutor.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner for a week.

A MisosiEvous FREAL—Richard Southwell and Wm.
Miletead, two decent looking lads, were charged with
breaking a square of plate glass, value 101., the pro-
perty of Mr. James Wilder Adams, proprietor of the
Hope dining-rooms, No. 41, Haymarket.
Mr. Adams stated that on Sunday afternoon he
was in his parlour, where some gentlemen were did'
ing, when he heard a tremendous crash, followed by a
shower of pieces of glass. He immediately went into
the front room, and found a large square of plate glass,
value 101., completely smashed. He went outside to
discover the authors of the mischief, when he caught
the two prisoners in the act of throwing stones at an
old man. He directly collared them, when they ad-
mitted that one of the stones which they threw missed
its mark, and went through his window. Mr. Adams
added that he had seen the parents of the lads, and
they had promised to make some arrangements
to pay him for the damage he had sustained. He
did not wish to be hard with them, and would get the
window replaced as cheap as he could.
Mr. Beadon said the boys deserved a pretty good
flogging to deter them from throwing such dangerous
missiles in future ; and they ought to be thankful to
Mr. Adams for not pre,sing the case, for if he bad he
(Mr. Beadon) would most assuredly have severely
punished them. He should now adjourn the case for a
month to see how they fulfilled their contract.

MARK-LANE.

In answer to a not very courteous communication
from an Islington correspondent, impugning the accuracy
of our Corn Exchange article on Monday last, we this
day insert the circulars of three of the leading corn fac-
tors, which, it will be seen, fully confirm the accuracy of
our statement, which was so strongly denied by the
writer from Islington.

(From The Sun of Sept. 22.)

The demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce
was very much less active than on Monday last. In
prices, however, compared with that day, very little
change took place. At the close of business inferior
wheats were certainly the turn in favour of buyers.

From the Circular of Messrs. Giles, Son, and Barker,

Corn Factors )

The best selected samples made about last Monday's
prices, but the greater part of the supply was unsold at
the clove of the market.

(From the Circular of Messrs. Coventry, Sheppard, and
Co., Corn Factors.)
The best samples were taken by millers at the prices
of this day week ; but inferior descriptions were lower,
and sold at irregular prices.

(From the Circular of Messrs. John Ashlin and Sons,

Corn Tactors.)

The finest runs were taken by the millers at about the
prices of this day se'nnight. The secondary qualities
were offered at some reduction, but they remained over
unsold up to the time we write.

MARKET NEWS.—(rbis Day.)

tion. For all kinds the demand is in a sluggish state.
Picked samples may be quoted at 85s to 90s; other kinds,
70s to 80s per ton.

WOOL.
English wool continues in good request, and prices aro
well supported. Foreign and colonial parcels move off
slowly, at late rates. Last week's imports were 10 bags
from Jamaica, 155 bales from Mogadore, 103 from Ant-
werp, 1,071 from Sydney, 9 from Hambro% 167 from the
Cape, and 6 from Ostend.
The followin are the current rates of English wool
Down tegsg, is 3d to is 4d ; Down ewes, ls 2d to is 3id ;
half-bred hogs, is 2d to is 3 ; Kent fleeces, is 2d to is 3d ;
Leicester do., ls ld to ls 3d ; combing skin, ls to
blanket wool, 9d to is ld ; and flannel wool, ls to is 5d
per lb.

SEEDS.
A fair extent of business has been transacted inlinseei
and prices are a shade dearer. Linseed cakes are in good
demand at fully last week's prices. The market for rape
and oilseeds has improved. Fine Calcutta rape is worth
64a per quarter.
