(Sittings in Banco.)
EX PARTE JOHN FULLER.-HABEAS CORPUS.

Mr. GwNNncG applied for a writ of habeas corpus directed
to the keeper of Huntingdon gaol, ordering him to bring up
the body of John Fuller, a prisoner in his custody, in order
that the cause of his committal might be inquired
into. The prisoner had been committed under the
provisions of the 11th George H. for removing goods, in
order to prevent his landlord distraining upon them for rent,
but the order of committal contained as many defects as
could possibly be crowded into such a space. The
Act directed that the summons should be granted
by two justices, and the matter heard and the
order made by the said justices. In this case the sum-
mons had -been granted, and the order made by different
juatices. That objection alone was fatal ; but there
was, another objection: The Act directed that the justice
should reside near the place from whence the goods
were removed ; in this instance the order set forth that the
justices resided near the place to where the goods had been
removed. The order was also stated to be made at-St. Ives,
without stating that St. Ives was in the county of Huntingdon.
Lord DEN3Lui-..-Take the writ.—Application granted.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Ann Brady, a young woman, suffering from a severe
opthalmic disease, and who, from her turbulent conduct, en-
dures at least six months' imprisonment out of the twelve,
was again charged with drunken and disorderly behaviour,
and making use of obscene language in the public street.
Police-constable, No. 185 of the C division, stated that
about twelve o'clock, as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he
saw the prisoner accost and forcibly detain several gentlemen,
at the same time begging of them. He remonstrated with
her, knowing that she had only been discharged from prison
that morning, but she disregarded what he said, and made
use of very disgusting language.
Mr. HARDWICKE-Why will you persist in such conduct?
It is very painful to us to be obliged so continually to punish
you. Prisoner (crying)—What can Ido ; you give me no
chance. I was only discharged from gaol yesterday morn-
ing, after an imprisonment of six months. I have been so
continually in prison, and the punishment is so severe, that if
on the moment of coming out, I get half-a-pint of beer or a
glass of that infernal gin, it drives me mad ; and so sure as
I come out of prison in the morning, I am back again there
at night. • •
Mr. HARDWICKE—You are committed for a month.
Prisoner (wringing her hands)—For God's sake, don't
send me back to that horrible place. Give me a chance of
reclaiming myself. I promise that I will never offend again.
Mr. Hannwicxx—The making use of obscene language we
never look over.
The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler to the lock•
up cells.

MAR YLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
Susan Smith, a setvant girl, with Bfr. Swaine; draper. of 4D,
Chapel-street, Edgeware- road, was placed at tke bar charged
with felony. _ _

The complainant stated that for a considerable time back
he had suspicions that some of his servants were dishonest,
and for the purpose of setting those suspicions at rest,
he, with the consent of those under his roof, deter-
mined to have their boxes searched. The prisoner
exhibited considerable reluctance to submit to this
test, but at last consented, and there were found in her box,
several duplicates of articles stolen, and property belonging
to complainant. She was,given into custody. A number of
pawnbrokers' assistants were in Court, and pioduced pro-
perty pledged at their masters, which was identified by Mr.
Swaine as his.

The prisoner, who cried bitterly, was fully committed for
trial.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The supply of English Wheat on offer was but limited, yet
the demand for most descriptions of that article was in a very
sluggish state, at: Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat,
both for and in bond, met a slow inquiry, at barely late rates.
Superfine Malt was in active demand, but other qualities were
heavy. In consequence of the fine growing showers, spring
Corn of all kinds was (lull ; yet we can notice no alteration in
value. Flour was a dull sale, at late rates.
