INSOLVENT COURT, MAY 8.

Evan Evans, a milkman, w•as opposed by Mr
COOKE, for Mr. Tilbard, and supported by Mr
WOODROFFE.

When the insolvent was before the Court about
three weeks ago, his case was adjourned that he
might produce an account-book, which he had ne-
glected to file, and which he described as being tno
large to bring into court. It was now, however,
produced, and, as far as bulk went, was a most re-
spectable volume, an editio prineeps of his milky
way. It seems he purchased a milk-walk for 2201,
which he affirmed was a most ruinous bargain. Ile
had sold some part of his furniture, but could not
tell to whom. A Mrs. Tucker, of Broad-wall, had
recommended some of the purchasers, and purchased
part herself. His coat had been stolen, and an hn-
portant pocket volume lost in consequence of the
theft. Some of his debtors were unfortunately dead.
One of them, a bricklayer, to whom he had lent
501,, had fallen from a scaffold, before he discharged
his debt, which was in consequence lost.
The Court decreed that the case should be ad-
journed that his schedule might be amended, and
his creditors have an opportunity of examining the
" tall copy" which had been produced.
An insolvent, David Davies, of most extraordi-
nary appe:ironee, having a heard reaching half way
down his waist, was discharged upon his petition.

We read in a paper, that the Emperor NI-
cHoLAs has recently issued an ukase, strictly prohibiting
card playing. We can easily trace again in that uka.,
the warm defender of the aristocracy, who will not permi
knaree to be mingled with kings.—The Parrot.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MA S.

JONES r. BYWATER.

Tiiis was a case which came on for argument a
few days since before this Court, and the question was,
whether the plaintiff's bill of costs for conducting
the inquiry into the state of mind of Mr. ll.ivies, the
tealealer, (which mu t be in the recollection of our
readers), was,. or was not, liable to taxation.
This morning Lord LYNDHURST said, it was the
opinion of the Court, that tte application should
have more prorerly been made before the Lord
Chancellor.

Mr. WAKEFIELD was anxious, before leaving
the Court, to correct u mistake into which he had
been led when the case was argued. lie had then
sta•ed that Mr. Divies had, after the inquiry, ag tin
fallen into a bad state of mind, and that since then
he Fad been in tont:nen:eta: Mr. Davies culled on
him (Mr. 'Stadeld) last fight, .rd hp felt himself
authorized in now saying, that that gbhOetttan Iced
neither been insane, nor in confinement ; and that
he was bound to make this public avowal, having,
through misinformation, given publicity to an er-
roneous statement.

Lord LYNDIII-RsT-1 am my glad to hear that
such is the case.

lower prices—proof Leewards on board were purchased at Is.
6!, d. Brandy was firm, on account of the rise in the prices in
France; the extensive arrivals last week prevented any advance
in the Market. Geneva sold rather lower.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market
has been dull, but the prices are pretty well supported. Flax
is a shade lower. In Hemp there is little alteration.

arrivals and time of year a decline is to be expected. In Lin-
seed Oil rather less done in the last than the preceeding week ;
the prices firm. Rape Oil continues to be an agitated article;
the deliveries for the next three mouths are large, but, as It is
supposed the Oil will be receil ed and held, prices cannot do..
cline, but will be ruled much by Olive Oil, which is firm, and
snore doing in it.

alteration in the prices. The purchases this week are 300 Surat,
