CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were firm
for wheat, at slightly enhanced rates. The business deing,
however, was only moderate. Nearly all descriptions of
spring corn were taken off at full prices ; whilst the flour
trade was steady.

The loading Continental markets have continued firm
for wheat, on rather higher terms. Other descriptions of
produce, including flour, have realised very full prices. The
shipments of wheat, flour, and Indian corn from the United
States continue on a liberal scale.

Only limited supplies of English produce came to hand
last week. From abroad, however, the imports were un-
usually large. They amounted to 87,470 quarters of wheat,
42,293 barley, 187,875 oats, 1,083 beans, 3,958 peas, 920
tares, 912 linseed, 1,020 rapeseed, 4,250 maize, 145 sundry
seeds, 3,672 sacks and 9,852 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market
to-day, both from Essex and Kent, was only moderate, but
the general quality of the samples was tolerably good.
Owing chiefly to the enormous influx of foreign produce,
the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was in a
sluggish state. Good and fine samples were held at full
quotations, but low and damp parcels were difficult to quit,
though offered at is per quarter less money than on Mon-
day last.

There was a large show of foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex-granary. Millers purchased for immediate wants
only, and the trade ruled heavy, on rather easier terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull. In prices, however,
very little change took place.

The heavy imports from abroad produced considerable
inactivity in the barley trade. Inferior samples gave way
Is per qr.

There was very little business doing in malt on former
terms.

The supply of oats being very large, the oat trade was
heavy, at is per qr. beneath last Monday's currency.
Beans were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
Peas changed hands slowly, at barely late rates.
The demand for flour was much restricted, and the value
of country parcels was barely supported.

LAW INTELLIGENOE.--(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Kinderaley.)
JUDGMENT-GIBSON V. G/BSON.

This case came before his Honour on exceptions to the
Taxing-Master's report allowing the fees of two counsel
for the petitioner and two counsel for the respondent in
taxing the bill of costs in this snit as between party and
party or solicitor and client.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, after considering the
particular circumstances of the case, was of opinion that the
fees of two counsel, senior and junior, should be allowed to
the petitioner, and the fees of only one counsel allowed to
the respondent.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
THE GENERAL IRON SCREW COLLIER COMPANY V.

SIITJRTMANS.-JUDGMENT.

The contention in this case arose out of the collision and
loss of the Dutch screw steamer Sophi and the William
Hut, British vessel, off Dungeness, and within three miles
of the British coast, and the question raised was, whether
there was a limited or unlimited liability on the part of
owners of the William Hut to the owners of the Sophi
for the loss of the Sophi.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion on the
evidence that the collision took place within three miles of
the sea coast ; and, on considering the Acts of Parliament,
and the cases adduced by Dr. Lushington in the Admiralty
Court, came to the conclusion that there was only a limited
liability (to the extent of the value of the William Hut) on
the part of the owners of that ship. His Honour ordered
them to pay the Admiralty allowance into this court. Also
to pay the costs awarded by the Admiralty Court, and the
costs of this suit as shall be taxed.

BEAVAN V. HALGOOD.-JUDGMENT.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said the mortgagee
agreed to allow the mortgagor to grant building leases for
a period not exceeding 99 years. The mortgagor did not
comply with the terms prescribed, but granted a lease to a
person is trust for himself, and then the question raised was
whether he was entitled to hold it as against the mot tgagee.
His Honour decreed a devise of the property to the mort-
gagee on the same terms as it had been hold by the mort-
gagor. That if the parties cannot agree on the terms of th•
devise, or assignment of any lease granted or to be granted,
the covenants of such leases to to settled at chambers. The
defendant to pay the plaintiff his costs.
