THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, FEB. 26.
l'he market was thinly supplied with both wheat and barley,
and. this is generally the case with weather so well suited for
fiend operations in the seeding of spring corn. There was less
activity manifested, and both wheat and barley were the turn
in, favour of the buyer. Beans and peas nominal.

HULL, FEB 26.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The inter-
course with the Elbe and near ports is now actively resumed,
without adding much to our supplies of grain, indeed five
steamers have arrived from Hamburgh, and do not bring to-
tether above 500 qrs. of wheat, and so disproportionate are
the Hamburgh and English prices of grain, that some of the
next steamers are expected to come in ballast, although they
would gladly prefer grain at almost nominal freight. The
idea that we should be inundated with foreign supplies at first
open water does not appear likely therefore to be immediately
realised. The trade has been very inactive during the week,
but holders are firm, and if once the agricultural panic was
allowed to subside, prices would probably attain a'regularity
unknown during the last few weeks or months. Our own
farmers brought a large supply of wheat to this day's market,
for which they asked an advance of Is per qr., but the trade
cannot be written more than firm at last week's prices. The
business doing in foreign wheat, although moderate, was at
fully last week's rates ; next to nothing offering from shipboard.
All kinds of Spring corn are inactive, and where sales proceed
it is at lower rates. A fair demand for linseed at late prices,
and we quote no alteration in the saleable value of best make
of cakes. A little rapeseed on the Mullet per steamers, but
the quality is inferior; best seed worth 30/. Rape cakes fully
as dear, and rather more business passing than of late. We
make no alteration in the value of bones, of which arrivals are
moderate.

The following are the present prices of grain:-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEPv'S BENCH, Feb. 26.
;Sittings at Niai Priva at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice
COLERIDGE and Special Juries.)
LEFEVRE V. CHAPPEL.

Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Shee, and Mr. Lush
conducted the case for the plaintiff; and Mr. Cockburn
and Mr. Bovill that of the defendant.
The plaintiff in this case was a gentleman who lived at
Boulogne. The defendant was a partner in the house
of Cramer and Beak, of Regent-street, and the action
was brought on a breach of contract. According to the
plaintiff's ease, be wished to purchase all the unlet boxes
and stalls flr the first performance cf Le Propliete at
Covent-garden Theatre last July, and he commissioned
a person named Merchant, who resided in London, to
endeavour to carry out his object. Accordingly, Mar-
chant and Mr. Lionel Goldsmid saw the defendant, and
understood from him that he was the director
and manager of the theatre. As Merchant said
he was prepared with 3,0001., the defendant
seemed inclined to entertain the proposal, and ulti-
mately an arrangement was come to that a sum exceed-
ing 500/. should be paid for the boxes and stalls which
were unlet fur tho Saturday night, when the defendant
said her Majesty had signified her intention of being
present. 200/. was paid down on the 26th of July. On
the Thursday evening the defendant called on Mer-
chant, and he and Goldsmid on the same evening called
on the defendant at Cramer's, who gave him a list of
the boxes, &c.; they then paid the defendant 2911, as
the balance, and it was arranged that the tickets should
be sold at Messrs. Cramer's, the defendant undertaking
to manage the matter. On the following day the de-
fendant sold many tickets which did not belong to the
plaintiff, and the consequence was that there was not
room for those which the plaintiff bad purchased. The
defendant was spoken to, and ho said he would give
compensation. The theatre was not visited by the
Queen that evening. The plaintiff lost about 3601. by
the transaction. Merchant was a watchmaker in Hol-
way e subscription night, which

The case was adjourned before the p!aintiff's case

IHeEtNhRe YdeScHeAaDseWeE,
PREROGATIVE COURT.—(Feb. 26.)
(Before Sir IL JENNER FUST.)
the DECEASED.sono
Inwasf
the
Vice-Chancellor of England, died in December last,
having made bis will, bearing date the 3rd of July,
1848. It appeared the will was contained on two sides
thisLES case
of a sheet of note paper, and was brought nearly down
to the bottom of the second side; a blank space was
there left, and at the top of the third page, were' these
words—" Signed by me, the undersigned Lewis Henry
Shadwell;" and then followed the names of the wit-
nesses. The question was, whether this paper had been
signed by the deceased at the foot or end thereof. The
circumstanees attending the signing were, that the de-
ceased, on the 3rd of July, 1848, called the witnesses
into the private room of his father, the Vice-Chancellor
of England, and requested them to see him sign some
papers; he then produced three or four papers, and wrote
what now appeared upon the top of the third aide of
the alleged will. The paper, however, was so folded,
that the witnesses, while signing, could not see what was
written on the other pages. On the application for pro-
bate, the Learned Judge said he was sorry to say the in-
terpretation to be put upon the Act of Parliament was
such that upon an ex porte application he must dismiss
the motion, and leave the parties to propound the papers.
THOMAS TEES, ESQ., DECEASED.
The deceased, late of Stanmore Hall, in the county of
Middlesex, died in the month of September, 1843, leav-
ing a will under which he appointed several executors,
these executors had all renounced probate of the will;
the deceased appointed his wife residuary legatee of part
of the property during her life or widowhood, and pro-
vided in case of her death or second marriage, that the
residue should go to his daughter, and that his widow
upon marrying, should only have an annuity of 5001. for
life. The widow had since become the wife 'of Mr.
Lushington the Member for Westminster, and thereupon
ceased to be any longer a residuary legatee. The ques-
tion before the Court was, whether the administration
which had been granted to Mrs. Tees, as one of the re-
siduary legatees, had absolutely ceased upon her second
marriage, and whether the grant should or not be
revoked. On the face of the grant of administration
itself no limitation appeared. At the time the
grant was originally made, there was a legacy
dut of 4001. apparently payable on the estate,
which had been valued at 30,0001., and which duty
was forthwith paid; but subsequently the estate being
found insolvent, an application was made for the return
of duty. The Stamp-office expressed themselves willing
to agree to such return, but as it then appeared the
estate originally amounted to 35,000/. instead of 30,0001.
they contended the parties ought to pay an additional
duty of 50/. Ix fore the 4001. could be refunded, saying
that such sum of 501. would likewise be returned t.) the
parties.
Dr. ADDAMS applied to have the administration con-
tinuei to the same party. He contended that the grant,
although made to Mrs. Tees in the character of a widow,
was in general terms, and did not cease upon her mar-
riage, and also that great inconvenience would result if
the administration were revoked, the only act to be per-
formed being the negotiation with the Stamp-office. The
Court granted the application.

LIVSOLVEN7' DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 26.
(Bofore Mr. Commissioner Lem.)
IN RE THOMAS RICHARDB.-IMPORTANT RULE IN
COUNTY coma's.
This insolvent, a tin-plate worker in Goswell-strcet-
road, was opposed by three creditors, and supported by
Mr. Sturgeon. One of the opposing creditors bad dis-
counted a bill of 291. for the insolvent, and afterwares
employed him to do some work for him, which amounted
to 32a. The creditor intended to set the money off
igainot his claim. The insolvent, however, sued him
