EMIGRATION AND LABOUR.

We extract the following from the Melbourne
lerald reiativelo the continual differences which
"re existed between Messrs. Cornish and Bruce,
the,. contractors for the line of railway between
This
and Sandhurst, and their workmen.
hutisMr. Bruce's account of the matter, and we
t?itle that the acknowledged existence of strikes in
(11lt distinct branches of his service does not speak
°llfor the judgment or justice of the firm :
dill." We regret to have to announce that the
erences between Messrs. Cornish and Bruce
cud the masons in their employ still continues,
d 1 that there does not seem any imme-
k,,,l4.ts probability of the dispute being settled
,'lleably, In an interview between the
;41ployer and the men, Mr. Bruce stated the
`we of the dispute to be as follows There
‘
e four strikes existing on these works at
resent. The masons on the Castlemaine section
ve struck work on the important ground tkat we
to Lin in our employ nine men who are in arrears
the society. They were reoeiving 18s. per day
eight hours, and the only pound of strike is that
nine men owe. money to the mason's society. The
urieklayera were working peaceably enough for 16s.
)er diem of eight hours—ls. more than they receive
lu Melboirne—when suddenly they came and gave
notice to, Mr. Beecham, four hours' notice, that
11,„11 less they 110 181. per day' they would strike.
he earpenjers struck owing to a misunderstand-
in.
o I refret if any statement made by an official
ur service has misled them, and as I have stated,
the .simplest evidence that such statement has
rev o made, I will implement their contract'in all its
i„legrity. Then I have a strike in town which
-"eludes blasksmiths, carpenters, engineers.' "
I'Ve do not wish to be severe on Messrs. Cornish
1:411(1 Bruce without reason, but it must be borne in
14d that having obtained a very profitable con-
ttheirheir first act was to take advantage of the
ttilltetnesi with which the unemployed flocked to

7118 DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The le: Kling country markets held on Saturday were but
moderate 3y supplied with wheat, for which the demand was
steady, a t full quotations. Barley was in active request,
and there was a fair sale for other kinds of produce, at fully
previous. rates.

Throughout the continent produce generally has sold
freely, at full quotations ; but in the United States both
wheat and flour have had a drooping tendency.
Thearrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. From abroad the imports were only
65 qrs. of wheat, 2,497 barley, 6,854 oats, 10 beans, 1,328
tares, 2,740 linseed. 4,588 oilseeds, 682 sundry seeds, 300
sacks and 1,500 barrels of flour.

The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was very moderate, consequently the show
of samples was small. Millers, generally, showed no dis-
position to purchase beyond immediate wants ; but, owing
to the improved condition of the supply., consequent upon
the favourable change of the weather, the demand for both
red and white qualities ruled steady, at prices fully equal
to Monday last. In some instances fine samples were is
per quarter dearer.

In foreign wheat, the show of which was moderately
good, only a limited business was passing; nevertheless,
the quotations were well supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were a alow inquiry at late
rates.

With all kinds of barley we were scantily supplied, and
the demand ruled steady, at very full prima.
Malt, the show of which was moderato, changed hands
slowly at late rates. There was very little inquiry for
malt. Prices, however, were supported.
The oat trade was firm, and in some instances the quota-
tions slightly advanced.

Beans moved off freely at Is. per qr. more money.
In the value of pons no change took place, but the de-
mand ruled heavy,

Flour Was in fair request at full quotations.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
JUDGMENT-BROWN V. HODGSON.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l have read
over the answers in this case, with a view to determine the
point whether the trustees are to have their costs. lam of
opinion that in the case of the administration of an estate if
an objection is made that the trust funds have been impro-
perly applied, and that expenses have to be paid, and that
the estate is not sufficient to pay them, the trustees should
be liable. Here the trustees did what they ought not
to have done in restraining this lady—this is not
an ordinary case of administration by the trustees, but a
case of improper proceedings, and therefore the trustees
must pay costs.

His Honour corrected a mistake in the certificate as to
£3l, and gave directions as to the payment of costs to Mary
Hodgson.

This cause came on to be mentioned this morning.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l cannot find
anything to justify your client (Mr. Lloyd, Q.C.) in stating
that he did not know of any debt affecting the estate at all.
You admit that your client had no foundation for making
that statement at all. I had prepared an order which I read
at the time, and I cannot see that your client was justified
in stating that he knew nothing of the incumbrance on the
estate. I think he had information of the prior incum-
brance.

Hie Honour directed the money to be paid into court, and
ordered that the plaintiff should receive notice before it was
paid out of court.

This cause came on to be mentioned on one point.
His Honour was of opinion that the child born after the
death of the testator was entitled to take a share of the
testator's property.
Costs to be settled on the minutes.

The Courts of Law sat to-day at Guildhall, City. The
only case of the slightest interest that occurred during the
day was an action brought by Lord Ward, now Earl
Dudley, against Mr. Lumley, the late lessee of her Ma-
jesty's Theatre, to recover three quarters rent alleged by
the plantiff to be due to him from the defendant. The evi-
dence was clearly of a legal and technical nature, and re-
lated principally to the construction put on certain docu-
ments. The case is expected to occupy the Court for two
days.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE-(THIS DAY.,

ROBBING THE GUARDIANS OP ST. MARTIN'S WORK-
HOUSE.--Thomas Hugo, about 76 years of age, and em-
ployed as the master shoemaker in St. Martin's Work-
house, was charged by Mr. James Barrett, the master of
the house, with stealing a quantity of leather, the property
of the guardians of the poor of St. Martin's.
Richard Brennan, the gatekeeper at St. Martin's Work-
house, said the prisoner was an inmate, and was employed
in the house as the master shoemaker. On the previous
(Sunday) morning he went up to call out the names of
the inmates going to the different places of worship, when
seeing something bulky at the bottom of his trowsers, he
ordered him to "fall out" from the rest, and afterwards
took him into the hall and asked what he had got at the
bottom of his trowsers. He said he had "nothing at all,'
but, on his pulling up the leg of his trowsers, he pulled out
some of the pieces of leather, which he had tied round his
leg. He said he was going to take it to his son's to make
up. It was the same as that used in the house—was sole
leather, the value 6s. 6d., and the property of the guardians
of the poor.

Mr. James Barnett, the master of the house, said that
every confidence had been reposed in the prisoner ; in fact
he had so much confidence in him that he recommended to
the guardians that he should be allowed a suit of clothes
different to the other inmates. He had been treated with
great kindness, and ho felt much surprised that he should
have been guilty of such conduct.

Mr. Boadon having asked the prisoner if he was guilty,
he replied that "He was, but that he had never been
charged before."

Mr. Boadon said the prisoner had taken such a peculiar
mode of taking it that it gave the idea that it was not
the first time of his doing so.

Committed for three inonths, Mr. Beadon remarkingthat
had he been a younger man, he should have sent him for
six.

The parties live in a small house in North-street, Limo-
house, and, according to the evidence of the complainant,
on Saturday night the prisoner, who was drunk, fastened a
quarrel upon her, tore her hair out by the roots, and bit a
pi.«, out of her forehead. The prisoner after " chewing"
the piece of flesh, spat it out of her mouth, and then bit her
thumb. She was completely " smothered in blood."
Eleanor Greenwood, a dissipated-looking woman, con-
firmed the evidence of the complainant with all her exag-
gerations, and said the prisoner tore Mrs. Thomas to pieces.
A policeman, 490 A, said ho was sent to a house in North-
street, in consequence of an information that murder was
being committed. All the parties wore quiet when he
reached the house. They were all intoxicated.
Kr. Yardley was of opinion there was a great want of
discretion on the part of the police-constable. There was
no occasion whatever to take the woman into custody and
lock her up. The complainant might have been left to her
remedy by summons. It was too bad to put a woman who
had a child suckling at the breast into confinement this
sort of weather, and on such a slight pretext. The woun&
on the forehead was a mere scratch, and ho believed what
the prisoner said, that she was grossly provoked. The
parties appeared to be related, and were quarrelling and
drinking. It was a very happy family.
The landlady of the house in which the parties reside
said there was six of one and half a dozen of the other. The
complainant and defendant were continually quarrelling,
getting drunk, and fighting. The complainant had paid
no rent for three years, and put her at defiance.

Mr. Yardley thought the landlady had given a very oor-
roct description of the parties—six of ono and half a dozen
of the other. If equal justice had been done, both parties
should have been locked up. The case had been most grossly
exaggerated, and unequal justice had been done by locking
up one woman and not the other. lie was called upon to
do equal justice, and ha should discharge the prisoner.
