LEICESTER-SATURDAY.

We had a tolerable supply of wheat at our corn market
to-day, but there was not much doing and late rates were
barely established. A fair demand for barley, and a good
share of business was done at prices the turn higher.
The show of oats was less than usual, and the demand
was firm, at fully late rates. There were very
few samples
of beans shown, and late rates were well sustained.
New white wheat, 50s to 52s ; new red, 47s to 49s ; old
white, Ms to 56s ; old red, 49s to 52s per 36 stone. Bar-
ley, for malting, 35s to :40s per qr.; grinding, 27s to 80s
per 30 stone. Oats, old, 34s to 38s ; new, 24s to 30s per 24
stone. Beans, old, 50s to 54s ; new, 42s to 44s per 38 stone.

ACCIDENT TO A RACE HORSE.—At Lincoln, 011
Tuesday, an action was brought by Mr. Walker
against the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Bail"
way. Tho plaintiff is a gentleman living at Bigby, Oar
Brigg, who was formerly the possessor of valuable race-
horse called Brother to Patience. In March of last year
Brother to Patience ran with great success at WetherbY
Races. After the races the plaintiff sent the horse by the.
defendants' railway to Barnetby. At Barnetby station the
truck in which the horse was ought to have been slipped
from the train. Owing to the negligence of the companY'°
servants this was not done at the proper time, and eon
to
se'
quently the truck ran through the station and came in
collision with an engine about 200 yards outside the
station. The horse was so much injured by the collision
that he was destroyed. The negligence of the com Pall
was admitted, and the onlyquestion raisedwas the alroun, _
of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. Brother
fo
Patience was worth 500 guineas. By the Railway TraW_
Act of 1854, however, railway companies are not liable fa`
a greater amount than £5O for injury done to any /I°r:
while being forwarded on its journey, unless a great
value is declared, and an insurance effected aeordinll;
No such declaration or insurance was made in the Prey,th
case. It was contended, however, by plaintiff that, as l',„0
collision happened beyond the ultimate destination of m
horse, the defendants were not protected from 11 a bi. i;
The defendants paid £5O into court, and a vetsrluictlif to
taken for them, leave being reserved for the p
move for a verdict for the full value of the h0r5!........./
