LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord St. Leonards,
Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and other peers.)
BROOKS:ET. AL. V. BROOKS ET. AL.—AEPEAL.
This is an appeal from a decision of Vice• Chancellor
Wood, declaring invalid in England the marriage with a
deceased wife's sister in Denmark, where such marriages
are lawful.
The Attorney-General having concluded his arguments
on the part of the Crown, was followed Mr. Wickens on
the same side,'who was proceeding when we went to press.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
IN RE SIVIITH, PATIENT, AND CO.-TAE FAILURES
IN THE LEATHER TRADE.

These bankrupts carried on business in a very extensive
way as leather factors in Bermondsey, and were intimately
connected in commercial transactions with Messrs. Streat-
feild, and this was an examination meeting.
Mr. Murray asked for an adjournment sine die, as there
were omissions and discrepancies in the accounts.
Mr. Lawrance said that much of the delay had oocurred
through the death of one of the partners, who was the
cashier, but there could be no question that satisfactory
accounts could be rendered in a short time.
His Honour said that an adjournment sine die conveyed
an imputation, which had better be withheld, when there
was no prospect of bringing the case fully before the Court.
Mr. Lawrance said that, as respected Mr. Patient, a large
sum of money had been expended in supporting a claim for
a large amount, but unfortunately a gentleman who could
throw light on the matter was too ill to attend. Under al'
the circumstances, it was advisable that the case should be
adjourned.

His Honour adjourned the examination sine die, with
protection for three months and leave to apply.

TBIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A few runs of English wheat were received fresh up to •
day, tut chiefly in very poor condition. Selected samples
of both red and white were taken off at Monday's cur-
rency ; but other kinds were very dull, and with difficulty
disposed of at irregular quotations.
We were again heavily supplied wil h foreign wheat.
Most kinds commanded a fair retail inquiry at last week's
prices. Floating cargoes were held at late rates ; but the
inquiry for them was slow.
There was a fair inquiry for barley, chiefly for grinding
purposes, at previous rates.
Superine malt was firm. Other descriptions commanded
very little attention.
There was a good consumptive demand for oats at ex-
treme quotations. The imports still continue on a limited
scale.
We have no change to notice in the value of either beans
or peas.
Flour was less active, but not lower in price.
