MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLock.
A very quiet demand for money is reported in
the Discount Market to-day. Trade of most kinds
being very dull, the number of bills on offer are propor-
tionately limited, and the rates are almost nominal,
Since approved securities can be negociated almost
on any terms the borrower is disposed to dictate.
The sum of £5,000 was taken from the Bank of
England yesterday.
A small amount of specie has arrived by the City
of Antwerp from New York.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Saturday, 97th inst., a special settling day
in the Midland Railway £2 preference shares,
which are " to be marked."
It is estimated that the excess dividend on Zealand
Railway shares for the year 18G6 of / per cent., or
38. per share over and above the interest of 4 per
cent. guaranteed by the Danish Government, will
be paid by Messrs C. J. Hambro and Son on the
25th instant.

Two o'CLooK.
According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Rentes were 65f. 15c. All offered.
Great uneasiness.
Only a small amount of business has been trans-
acted in the market for the English Funds. The
investments have been few and for small amounts
of stock, and speculation is to an extent held in
check by the variableness of the Paris Bourse,
and the unsettled feeling engendered by the
Luxembourg affair, and the warlike preparations
going forward in France. Upon the whole, how-
ever, Values are well sustained, the confidence felt
in the Government, the state of the Money Market,
the arrivals of gold, the limited exports of that
Metal, and the satisfactory way in which commercial
credit is kept up, all tending to impart some firm-
teB, if not activity, to the respective departments in
he Stock Exchange. Consols opened this morning
frry steadily, but the " bears" have since operated
,eely, and a decline of nearly + per cent. has taken
place) the latest prices being 901 1 for money as
Well as the account. The New Threes and Reduced
tAnnuities are 891 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 255. prem.;
ank of England Stock, 251 2521 ; India Stock,
43}
; ditto 5 per Cents., 1101; ditto Enfaced, ; and ditto 51 per Cents., 1071.
Owing to dullness and the state of Continental
politics Foreign Stocks have declined since the
commencement of business. Italian show a decline
of 1/ to 421

're I ; Brighton, North-Western, and Midland

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.)
MORRIS V. LAWRENCE.

Mr. 'Udall, on the part of the defendant, moved for a
rule for a now trial in this case, which was originally tried
before Mr. Justice Mellor, the jury giving a verdict for the
plaintiff for £3O, on the ground of misconception of the
evidence. The defendant pleaded never indebted, the
transaction giving rise to the suit being the disposal of an
entire horse, called Lires, which the defendant said he had
bought of a person named Walker. At the trial it was
sought to be proved that Walker was the agent of the
plaintiff, but Morris denied that, and it was contended by
his counsel that Walker was looked upon by the plaintiff
as the agent of Lawrence.
Mr. Justice Blackburn—Then the real question before
the Court is, who is to lose the money ?
Mr. Udell said the question to be decided was, had Law-
rence the power to dispoe., of th s horse ? and he contended
he lied. The plaintiff ust Walker at 011.ster Races, and
eventually he visited Mr. Morris, and had an insp action of
his stud. On perceiving the horse Zeros he stated to
Morris that the horse was just the sort of thing that would
suit his brother-in-law ; and some arrangement then took
place with respect to its sale. Eventually the horse was
sent to Walker, and by him disposed of to Lawrence. After
a certain period, Morris not having received the value of
the horse, he wrote to Lawrence requesting him to for-
ward the price of the animal to him without delay, but
Lawrence replied that he had bought the horse of Walker,
and that ho had paid him the money for it. An action'
was brought for the recovery of the horse, at which the
question arose as to how Walker became possessed of the
animal, whether as a bona fide pUrchaser or as the agent
of Lawrence. The learned counsel contended that the
point to,be decided was, whether Walker hed sufficient pro-
perty in the horse to affect a legal sale, or whether he
acted as the agent of Lawrence. The learned counsel
quoted the authority of Baron Parke to support his view,
that the defendant had power to dispose of the horse.

Mr. Justice Blackburn directed the attention of the
learned gentleman to the preceding passages to that
quoted, and as they put a different construction on the
passage, he said he did not wish to say that the learned
counsel had misrepresented the opinion of Baron Parke,
but that he had not understood him.

Mr. Udall said the remark of the learned judge was
civil, but they quito understood such observations, lie
(the learned counsel) was never uncivil to any judge.

After some further arguments, the Court refused the
rule.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE F. BROWNE.

This bankrupt, Miss Frances Browne, was described as
authoress, of 1, Onslow-villas, Cambrian-road, Richmond,
previously of 4, Rosedale-terrace, Notting-hill, and to-day
was appointed for the first meeting. The bankrupt
ascribed her failure to being pressed by creditors, and
having no means to meet her debts, which amount to only
£54 15s. 7d., the total number of such creditors being but
five. A day was named for the next meeting.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-S TREET.

AN INCURABLE LUNATIC CHARGED WITH THREATENING
TO MURDER HIS WIFE. - James Norton, a respectable-
looking man, about 60 years of age, described as a
tobacconist, of No. 30, Little Pulteney-street, was brought
before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with threaten-
ing to kill his wife, Ann Norton.
The complainant said that the prisoner, who was her
husband, had several times threatened that he would cut
her - throat, besides making use of other dreadful
threats. On Monday he swore that if he had not sold his
razors he would cut her throat with one of them, but sho
had not sold the razors, only hidden them. Her husband
was is the habit of wandering about the streets for weeks
together, and he had been confined iu a lunatic asylum
for 12 months, and discharged uneurod.
The prisoner said ho merely said it in passion, but he
had not any intention of doing his wife any harm. They
had lived together 4) years, and nothing of consequence
had ever happened. He was aware that ho was suffering
under an affliction. _

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the ocrnplainant's lifo must not be
endangered by a man who had been discharged from a
lunatic asylum uncured. Ile would remand tho prisoner
for a wook, and in the meantime his condition could be
looked into.
