The advices at hand from the north of Europe state that
great difficulties are still experienced, notwithstanding a
liberal importation of hay, in finding food for both beasts
and sheep, which, consequently, continue to be shipped to
England in very poor condition.
There was an extensive supply of foreign stock in to-day's
market, but its general quality was very inferior. The trade
ruled heavy, and prices generally were lower.
About an average number of home-fed beasts was on
offer, in very middling condition. From Ireland the supply
was very large, even for the time of year. The primest
Scots, short-horns, &c., were in moderate request, at last
week's currency—the top figure for beef being 4s 8d per
8 lbs ; .otherwise, the trade was heavy,, at a decline in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,600 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 72 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 1,000 oxen.
The total supply of sheep was moderate, and we observed
little or no improvement either in weight or condition. All
breeds met a dull inquiry, at a reduction in the quotations,
compared with Monday last, of 2d per 8 lbs.
Although the number of calves was by no means exten-
sive, the veal trade was heavy, at 2d per 8 lbs. less money.
Pigs were dull in the extreme, at 2d to 4d per 8 lbs.
beneath late rates.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.(THIS DAY.)

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OP THE HIGH BAILIFF.

Mr. H. J. Wood filed affidavits this morning calling for
an inquiry into the conduct of the high bailiff of this court.
These documents set forth that upon the 30th of June last
a plaintiff took out a distress warrant against a person who
had failed to comply with the order of the court. The levy
was not made till the 12th of July, when it was immedi-
ately paid out. Upon the 13th Mr. Ives ap-
plied for his money, and was informed that there was no
return. On the 16th he again applied and received the
same notification. On the 19th the poor man again called
at the court, and upon being again told that there was no
return, he said " the money was paid on the 12th, and my
landlord will distrain on me to-morrow," whereupon a
clerk in the court (with that peculiar sangfroid for which
county court officials are so noted) said, " Oh I we have no-
thing to do with your troubles." On the 20th, Ives' land-
lord distrained upon him, and then a summons was
issued against the high bailiff. On the 22d Mr.
Ices received a letter. stating the return was made ;
he could have his money. Now when these affidavits
were filed this morning, our reporter was surprised to find
them taken as a matter of course, and, in fact, the
Registrar informed Mr. Wood that they were very
common. The powers of a County Court judge are very
large, and he is almost irresponsible. If these affidavits are
so common, and these complaints of such frequent occur-
rence that they elicit nothing from the Registrar (who has
the ear of the Court) but a curl of the lip and shrug of the
shoulder, then it is high time a further inquiry was made,
and the evidence taken pro tem. in open court. In some cases
poor persons borrow money tocarry on the cause, and depend
upon the result to pay their debt. In the present instance
Mr. Ives depended upon this money to pay his rent.

IMPORTANT TO OMNIBUS DRIVERS AND CONDUCTORS.
At the City Police Committee, on Saturday, a driver of
one of the London General Omnibus Company's vehicles
appeared upon a summons.
His licence was asked for by Alderman Rose.
Mr. Beard said the defendant had not got his licence,
which was generally in charge of the secretary at the com-
pany's offices.
The Alderman said the Act of Parliament gave him
power to inflict a penalty of 60s. upon the driver of any
public carriage who appeared to answer a summons and did
not produce his licence.
Mr. Beard asked Sat the case might be adjourned, as it
was not the man's fault.
The adjournment was granted.
