The above most desirable ESTATE, comprising a capital and
handsome mansion, erected about thirty-six years since on the site

been preserved in the new house), with the demesne land and
valuable farms.. It is in the Ole English or Tudor style, and con-
tains lofty rooms and halls of noble dimensions. •It presents a
handsome elevation, relieved by a bold portecochere, and the east
front opens to an expansive lawn and grass terrace, extending to
some wooded grounds of a primitive wild character, and affording
delightfhl seclusion. It was here (then the property of her family)
that Henry VIII. wedded Jane Seymour; and it was also visited by
Charles 11. more than once. The house is in perfect repair, most:
substantially built, and the interior is admirably arranged. The.
domestic offices are vary complete, and' there are walled gardens
and orchards, and ample stabling and other outbuildings for a good
establishment; but, compared with the influential character and
superior accommodation of the mansion, it is a place of very small
expense. The whole property embraces about 800 acres, all in high
order, with suitable farmhouses and homesteads, and an extensive
right of pasturage over the adjoining downs; but the tenure being
chiefly leasehold under Corpus Christi College, or copyhold, the im-
mediate purchase money, conrared with the extent, will be an easy
investment. It is in the picturesque parish of Owlesbury,

TIM COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, MAY 7.
The very heavy rains we have had for the last two or three
days, and the annual stock fair held this day, made the attend-
ance of farmers and others at market unusually small. The
animation manifested in London and other markets of note
was fully apparent in the prices here. Wheats sold readily at
an advance of 2s to 35 per quarter; barley also sold quickly at
1 s per quarter advance, owing to the weather still continuing
so favourable for malting. Other articles much the same, and
malt was more in demand.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The firm-

the week for all articles, and in wheat and choice samples of
barley. Is advance has in some cases been paid. The weather
continues cold, and not very seasonable. Arrivals are mode-
rate. At to-day's market we had a fair supply of wheat from
our own farmers, and very little foreign. There was a good
sale for best runs at Is to 2s more money than last week, and
a like advance was paid on feesh foreign ' farmers were gene-
rally asking wild .prices. Fine Chevalier Saal barley and bold
samples of Danish are good to sell at is advance; only such
'qualities are now being used by the malsters, and thin samples•
are neglected except for grih ing purposes, and for such the
demand is good. 'Beans in request at-la more money, and few
offering. The same remark may be made of peas. Very
little passing in oats. The linseed market xemains dull, and
but few transactions are reported. A good sale for linseed
cakes at the late decline. No rapeseed on the market, except
from the Black Sea. 7itape cakes 2s 6d per ton dearer. Bones
-maintained the advance noted in our last.

LivEaroor., MAY 7. —The arrivals from Ireland and coast-
wise during the week past have, with the exception of 3,240
loads of oatmeal and 2,283 sacks of flotir, been trifling. From
foreign ports we haVe received a large supply of wheat, 31,626
quarters, chit-fly from the Baltic. and Belgium; 5,166 quarters
of Berle', 2,044 quarters of oats, 1,312 quarters of rye, 1,356
quarters of -beans, 2,086 quarters of peas, 4,796 quarters of
Indian corn, and 6,1.72 sacks of flour. The only exp.i ids of
importance weehie-e- to note are 2,276 quarters of whetat and
18,024 quarters of Indian corn, all to' Ireland. The w eather
having continued extrefnely cold and unseasonable, notwith-'
standing the liberal Supplies the trade has maintained a busayant
tone, and prids haveicrept up Id to 2d Per bushel on wheat,
per bushel on oats, Id per bushel on barley, and 6d per sttek
and barrel on flour. Indian corn has sold in considerable
quantities at 28s 6d to 29s per quarter for prime yellow. At this
day:s market there was a good attendance of the town and coun-
try trade, who purchased largely of wheat, chiefly middling wait •
ties, at an advance of fully 2d per 701 b on last Tuesday's prices.
Oats, both. Irish and foreign, were in good demand, and. fully
Id per
.451 b dearer. Oatmeal realised 6d per load more raoney
in the sales made. ' Barley and beans were in fair request, and
Id to 2d per 601 b add 6d per quarter dearer. Peas met with
little attention at late rites.- Flour moved off more freely than
for some time past, and an advance of s
.per sack and 6d per
barrel was generally established. There was'onry a moderate
business done in Indian corn at 285 6d'to 295. pr quarter for
yellow, and 28s to 28s 6d per quarter for white.
LEEDS, MAY 7.—We hive a small' arrival of grain to=day,
owing to contrary winds. Wheat bas met a brisk sale. and as
fully Is per quarter dearer than, last Tuesday., Good English
barley continues scarce, And is is per quarter ,dearer. Oats
and beans are sold on better terms.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 7.
(Sittings in Banco.)
CLARK V. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, M.P.
In this case a plaint was entered in the ccranty
court at Northampton, in the month of I'ebr nary
last, to recover from the defendant a sum of 4/. 19s.
9d., as money had and received by the defendant for
the use of the plaintiff. The plaint came on for hear-
ing before Mr. Wing, the judge of the county court,
some time in the month of March last, and it then
appeared that the plaintiff was one of the allotteos of
the National Land Coinpany, of which the defendant
is a director, and that a sum of 51. 4s. was paid by' the
plaintiff for four shares, which sum, it was not de-
nied, had found its way to the bands of the defend Ant,
who acted as treasurer of the company. The clef .nce
set up was.that the company was in the nature of a
partnership, that the plaintiff and defendant were part-
nersin the company, and that the sum demanded !was
not the balance of any settled or liquidated.part her-
Ship account. The judge of the county court, how,
ever, overruled this objection, and made an Orde r on
the defendant for payment of 4/. 19g. 9d., and
7/, BA. id. for costs. Before execution issued ie de-
fendant obtained a writ of prohibition from the P etty
Bag-office in Chancery, directed to the judge of the
county court of Northampton, the effect of Vaich
was to stay the proceedings upon the order mad a in
the county court. Upon a former day in the present
term a rule was obtained to show cause why the writ
of prohibition should not be quashed, upon the ground
that it was issued improvidently, and that the ,ortler
of the judge of the county court was made in smatter
not within his jurisdiction.
Mr. HAYES now appeared to make this rule abs
received any notice that cause would
lute, not having
be shown. The Learned Counsel submitted, upon
the authority of a case of " Baddeley v. Denton," re-
ported in the Law Journal, vol. 19, page 44, tbat by
an Act of last session, 12 and 13 Viet., cap. 109. the
superior courts of common law had authority to quash
a writ of prohibition issued from the Petty .IBag-
office. In the present case the Agit had issued upon
an ex parte application, though when the facts were
looked into, it was clear the county court judge had
jurisdiction.
Mr. Baron ALP sore—Do I understand you c or-
rectly, that there is any court where prohibitions
issue without hearing both parties ?
Mr. ILtres Lord; in
—Ye5-Ithe common law
side of the Petty nag-office a prohibition may' be: ob-
tained upon an ex parte application.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON--1 wonder they do not apply
there in the great case of " Gorham -F. The Bishop of
Exeter."—(A laugh.)
Mr. HAYES suggested P p
thaterha s, the Court was
not deemed fitting for the dignity of so great a cause.
Be that as it may, the writ of prohibition in this case
