COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
APPEAL.-LILLIE V. LEGII.

This was an appeal from an order of Vico Chancellor Sir
J.hn Stuart dismissing the plaintiff's bill.
' Plaintiff filed his bill against the defendant for the specific
performance of an oral agreement to grant the plaintiff a
written lease for 21 years of the farm of Marsfield Marsh,
county of Cheshire, at the yearly rent of £2OO for the first
three years from 1860, and Varper annum during the sub-
sequent years, and to pay the cost of buildings erected on
the farm at the plaintiff's expense. Plaintiff entered into
possession, and brought the fans, which had deteriorated,
into a high state of cultivation. Defendant differed with
him, and gave him notice to quit in 18.53, and when applied
to, refused to grant a lease on the above terms, and brought
an ejectment against him. The plaintiff then filed a
bill to obtain his lease. Defendant pleaded, let, that plaintiff
IV not entitled to a lease--that there was a breach of cove-
tiants in the agreement by not insuring the farm. And, 2d,
that there was a waver of the covenants of the lease, by the
plaintiff selling off his stock and leav:ng the farm uncul-
tivated.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner, in
delivering judgment, went very fully into the merits of the
ease ; and looking to the correspondence that passed between
tho parties and their solicitors, their lordships came to the
conclusion that the plaintiff was entitled to specific per-
formance of his agreement, and that the defendant was
bound to grant him a lease of his farm in terms of his
agreement, the defendant undertaking not to proceed
with the action at law or ejectment against the plaintiff,
and to pay the plaintiff the cost of buildings erected on the
farm and the costs of this appeal.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(Prom the MiningTournal of this day)

This was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, filed to carry
out the purposes of a voluntary trust deed and family set-
tlement.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor considered it would be
better to go into the evido*ce on the objects and purposes
of the trust, than to dismiss the bill. He therefore disal-
lowed the demurrer, with costs.

ROLLS' COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. Romilly.)
BAYLY V. DOUGLISS—IeDERMOTT V. DOYLE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common JUIT.)
TAPLING V. CIIILLINGWORTII.

Mr. Sergeant Parry appeared for the plaintiff. and Mr.
Macaulay defended.

This was an action brought by the firm of Tapling and
Co., carpet warehousemen, of Gresham-street, City, to
recover the amount of a bill of exchange for £315 from the
defendant Chillingworth, who had entered into an agree-
ment to become responsible for goods supplied to Mr.
lloman, of New York. Mr. Homan was brother-in-law
to Mr. Chillingworth, and the plaintiff agreed to
let him have any quantity of goods at cost
price , 5 per cent. commission being charged for carting the
goods and taking the risk. The drafts of the plaintiff were
to be accepted from the date of the bill of lading. Goods
were accordingly supplied, but at the termination of the
agreement, the bill in question being unpaid, the present
proceedings were instituted. The plaintiff, in his cross •
examination, denied that the name of the defendant on
Homan's bills was merely to be considered a name to en-
able the firm to get Homan's bills discounted.

The case was proceeding when our reporter left.

COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.)
SMEE V. DUVALL AND ANOTMER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
£56 the value of a bill which he had given for a quantity of
timber. The plaintiff carried on business as a barge
builder at Sittingbourne in scent, and upon the representa-
tion that the timber would bo found applicable to tne
purposes of barge-building he bought it. Ho said he
afterwards found that instead of its being new
timber, a large quantity of it was old, completely worm-
saten, and therefore entirely useless. For the defence
it was contended :that the timber was not so bad as the
plaintiff made out, and that it was quite fit for barge build
ings. • _ _ . _ . .

QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)

The cause tried in this court this morning was ono en-
tirel devoid of public interest. The question involved was
whether commission was payable after the charter of ship
had been cancelled.

told them the way, an 1 they left her, but hai not got more
than 20 yards when she suspected she had been robbed, and
on her putting her hand into her pocket,. in which. was her
purse, and from which she had only taken her hand when
the prisoners accosted her, she found that it was gone.
She immediately wont after the prisoness, and came up
with them as they were talking to a young man with a
moustache, and seizing them said, " You've robbed me of
my purse, give it to me." The man said, " What do you
mean ?" and took to his heels, running towards Oxford-
street as fast as he could. Called for assistance, and they
were secured.

A solicitor appeared for the prisoners, and in answer to
questions from him the proseeutrix said that Hantwell
offered her the purse back if she would let her go, but she
did not feel justified, and therefore refused .to let either of
them depart, and held her till assistance came, and another
person secured the other.
Thomas Herbert proved securing Elliott, and her offer-
ing to give up the parse if she was let go, and also hearing
th 3 other prisoner offer a sovereign to be released.
In answer to Mr. Bingham the prosccutrix said she
thought she should know the man again.
M. Bingham said he had not seen a lady whose conduct
did her more credit for a long time. He should remand the
pr:soners till Saturday, when rerhaps something Might be

The Minint; Share Market this week has not
been in a particularly buoyant condition, though in
a few mines a fair amount of purchases have been
made. Some of the tin mines have become flat,
without, as it would seem, any adequate cause ;
but many of the dividend copper shares have been
more in demand, even at advanced rates. One
feature of the week is the number of meetings
held ; and as special reports of one or two mines
which have been prominently before the public,
both in the market and in this article, were made
by the best practical agents purposely for these
meetings, we shall refer to them at greater length
than usual, as they are of importance to all the share-
holders, and especially to those ignorant of the
ways of the market, and who are often in these
days of speculation frightened out of their shares
by adverse reports, circulated for the very purpose
of depreciating them, to suit private purposes. The
special reports also show that our remarks have
been based upon good foundations. In reference to
the lead market, upon which we made a few re-
marks last week, we are informed that the rise is
only for ores containing a large percentage of silver.
Lead which does not yield much silver is rather
lower than otherwise. Silver bzrs, it is said, have
for some time past, been in great demand, and rising
in price. West Seton are not quite so firm, at 290
to 310 ; Copper Hill, 80 to 90. Wheal Uny, a
mine to which we constantly called attention when
shares were very low in price, has advanced this
week to 111, 121 per share ; the mine is reported
as looking much better. Wheal Basset have been
dealt in at 205 to 215. South Frances rose to 240,
as we stated last week, upon its becoming known
that a new lode had been cut, and, after a fair
amount of business, leave off 240 to 250 buyers ;
the discovery which is 'in the 95 cross-cut north,
130 fins. west of Harriet's shaft, is considered the
best discovery in the mine for a long time past.
West Frances and Wheal Grenville have both been
influenced by it, the discovery being towards
them; and the former have advanced to 15, 16,
buyers. Grenville rose to 305., buyers, but leave
off 265. to 28s. RosOwarne have been flat,
al 30. Gonamena, Bto 9, and still enquired for.
Craddock Moor, 25 to 26, buyers. West Caradon,
115 to 120. South Caradon have been in request,
and advanced to 400. East Russell have been
pretty extensively dealt in, and leave off' 61 to 7,
with the call of ss. per share paid. It was con-
sidered at the meeting that this call was stiff' cient
to carry on the mine till the ore ground was laid
open in the 88 ; and might, probably, be the last
required. It was also stated by the committee, that
so many adverse opinions had been circulated for
market purposes, and chiefly emanating from
Tavistock, that they had considered it best to have
the mine inspected by two perfectly independent
agents, and their reports, which confirmed the
company's agent as to the excellent prospects of
this mine, were read to the me, ting.
