was dull, and prices were lower than on Monday.

arrived up to this hour, in consequence of the
strong north-east gales, and the usual continental
advices have not been, therefore, received.

of farther cr.pital, either by loan or by the creation of

awl regulations of the company as may be requisite for

The market for Public Securities remains in an
inactive state, and no variation in prices has oc-

though the party in question has extensive en-
gagements to meet, it is confidently expected that
payment in full, or nearly so, will be made. Con-
sols have been 92/ and 93 for money, while
for account they have been at 931 4. The
New 3 per Cents. are 921 and the Reduced
911 Bank Stock was nominal, but East India
ditto has brought 228. The March Exchequer
Bills are at par, and the June ditto at 4s. discount.

and Norfolk are at a slight advance. Foreign

LAW INTELLIGENOE.—(This Day.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Camptell, Mr. Justice Wigbtman, and
Mr. Justice Erie.)
THE QUEEN v. PALMER.

The Attorney-General moved for a rule under the
law which had just passed the L•gislature, that the in-
dictments and injunctions charging the prisoner with
wilful murder should be removed, and the prisoner be
brought up from Stafford, and that he be tried at the
next Session of the Central Criminal Court.
LUrd Campbell said there on ht to be no delay, and
the prisoner ought to have notice.
The Attorney-General said that the court might rest
assured that no delay would he allowed to take place.
Lord Campbell—Take a rule accordingly.
Mr. Grey, on the part of the prisoner, ap-
plied for a rule calling on the solicitors for the
prosecution to furnish copies of the analytical
report of Dr. Taylor as far as regarded the tests made
by him for the discovery of antimony and strychnine.
The learned gentleman urged that it was essential for
both parties, to the public and the prisoner, that his ap-
plications should be granted, in order to know what
means Or., Taylor had used to discover the poison he
had deposed to, in order that the exact value of the
jtidgment. Might be tested.
The Court, after some consideration, refused the rule,
on the ground that on the cross-examination of Dr.
Taylor, the information sought for might be obtained.
Rule refused accordingly.
NIMIER ♦. BROWN.

His Lordship said yesterday Mr. Whateley applied
for a new trial in this case, on the ground of excessive
damages. Tne cause was tried by Mr. Justice Bram-
well, and that learned judge had been consulted. He
(Lord Campbell), after that clnsultation, was of opinion
that there ought to be no new trial in the cause.

HANIS v. PALLING.
Mr. Whateley, Q.C., on the part of the defendant,
moved in this case, by permission of the learned judge
before whom the case svai tried, to show cause why the
verdict in this case should not be set aside. It was a
cause to recover the amount of a re-sale of some pre-
mises situate in Bri,-tol, and fee farm rent. The point
in dispute was that at the time of the sale there was no
such fee farm rent in existence, and therefore the de-
fendant had a right to repu.liate the whole transaction.
Lord Campbell—Take a rule to show cause.
