Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. For all kinds the inquiry
ruled very inactive ; nevertheless, scarcely any change took
place in prices.
The barley trade was rather heavy, on easier terms. In
all other produce the transactions were limited.
Throughout the Continent wheat has ruled heavy, and
previous rates have been with difficulty supported. In the
United States more firmness has been apparent both for
wheat and flour. _ _

Fresh up to-day, coastwise, the arrivals of English wheat
were only moderate, and the receipts by land-carriage were
trifling, although the show of samples was rather limited,
we experienced a slow sale for most kinds of wheat of home
produce. However, compared with Monday last, no change
took place in the quotations. The general condition of the
samples was tolerably good.
There was a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine
dry samples were held at full quotations, but the demand
for them was inactive. Low and damp parcels ruled heavy,
at next to nominal currencies.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
We were fairly supplied with barley, and all kinds were
very dull. Prices had a drooping tendency.
Malt was very dull, and is to 2s per qr. cheaper.
The show of oats was tolerably good, and the oat trade
ruled heavy, at the late decline in value.
Beans and peas were heavy, but not cheaper.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted, at last
week's prices.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.)

APPEAL.--SCOTT V. THE MAYOR, &C., OF LIVERPOOL:-

The Lord Chancellor—affirming the decision of Vice-
Chancellor Sir John Stuart—was of opinion that the clause
in the contract--to submit and refer all matters in difference
as to the value of plant or work to be taken by the Corpo-
ration to the engineer of the works as arbiter—was a good
and valid agreement, and his decision was binding on both
parties ; and that the plaintiff was excluded from applying
to a court, of equity in law as a separate tribunal to adjudi-
cate upon his claims.
His lordship dismissed the appeal with costs.
The effect of this decision will be to entitle the Corpora-
tion of Liverpool to take plant and work performed at the
engineer's valuation.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
MAYNARD V. WRIGHT.

This was a question on the construction of the will of the
late Charles Henry Maynard. After directing payment of
all his debts he gave certain bequests and legacies to hisa
ifs,
to be paid out of his personal estate. He directed
his executors to invest his money in stock, and divide the
dividends between his wife and children : after his wife's
death, to be divided among his three sons and three
daughters, or their children, or such of them as
shall leave issue, the survivor to take the share of
the predecessor and the children to take the share of their
parents. The testator made a distinction between his
children and the issue of the children who were ultimately
to succeed. The respondent contended that the ultimate
destination to the issue of the grandchildren or great grand-
children of the testator 'could not be distinctly ascertained,
and the will was void from uncertainty.
His Hononr considered, on the authority of decisions in
similar cases, that-where classes were referred to in the will
the destination is clearly good. He made a declaration in
support of the *ill. Costs to be paid' out of the estate.
EVANS V. ANGELL.

The testator by his will bequeathed all his lands, copy-
hold, leasehold, freehold, and messuages in Crous, in the
county of Surrey, with their " pertinents ;" arid the ques-
tion raised was whether the word " pertinents" included
other lands belonging to the testator in the adjoining parish
of Lissford and other parishes. _ .

His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that
the lands in Lissford and other parishes belonging to the
testator did not pass and were not included under the word
"pertinent■" in the testator's will. His Honour declared
that the demise of the lands in question must be confined
to the testator's lands in the parish of Crouse and did not
extend to his lands in other parishes.

HOMCEOPATHY AT A DISCOUNT.-.CANTON V. HUSTLER.

Plaintiff is a lithographic printer, and defendant is the
proprietor of Bradley's Food for Poultry. The action was
brought to recover £2O for 100 show cards.
Plaintiff said he had the order from a traveller, nained
Cooper, who received it from a Mr. Kimber at defendant's
office.

Mr. Beard, for defendant, said that his client was not
liable. Kimber had given the order. The goods might
have been delivered, but in the absence of Cooper and
Kimber it was impossible to say under what circumstances
the order was given.

His Honour—What is the matter with Cooper ?
Mr. Beard—He writes from Peckham and says he had
been confined to his bed, and as there is no homoeopathic
doctor at Peahani, he has been doctoring himself.
(Laughter.)
His Hoziouk thought as soon as the fact was known
Peckham would be inundated.

Hustler promised to pay £lO.
Mr. Beard—Defendant denies that, and, besides, if your
Honour wishes to do justice to iheso parties, you will ad-
journ the case for Cooper's evidence..
His Honour—We ought to have Cooper, and you may
have an adjournment. ,
