THE PROSECUIION OF EX-GOVERNOR

_EYRE.

Mr. Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, appeared
before Mr. Vaughan to answer the summons issued
a few days since, at the instance of Mr. John
Stuart Mill, M.P., and Mr. Peter A. Taylor, M.P.,
on the charge of misconduct in that capacity.
Sir It. P. Collier and Mr. J. Horne Payne con-
ducted the case, and Mr. Rose defended Mr. Eyre,
who occupied a seat at the solicitors' table.
Mr. Vaughan said that before proceeding with the
case he wished to call Sir R. P. Collier's attention
to a technical objection.
Mr. Rose Loped he might first be allowed to make
an application for the adjournment of the case, as
Mr. Eyre's counsel was unable to attend.
Mr. Vaughan said that Mr. Eyre would not be
prejudiced. If the objection could not be answered
the summons would be dismissed. If Sir R. P.
Collier could meet it to his satisfaction and could
convince him that he ought to go on with the case,
then he is ould take care that it should be adjourned
for the attendance of counsel. The learned magis-
trate proceeded to explain the nature of the tech-
nical objection, which was substantially that,
though the statute under which these proceedings
were taken provided that the depositions should be
sent to the Court of Queen's Bench he had no
power to commit the prisoner to that court, but
only to Courts of Oyer and Terminer, i.e., in this
instance
.the Central Criminal Court or Middlesex
Sessions.

Sir R. P. Collier contended at considerable
length that the Court of Queen's Bench is a Court
of Oyer and Terminer, and then referred to autho-
rities in support of that view.
Mr. Vaughan, however, held that it was not a
Court of Oyer and Terminer for the purpose of this
prosecution, and held that he had not jurisdiction.
If Sir R. P. Collier thought he had, he might
apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a man-
damus to compel him to go. At present he de-
clined to exercise jurisdiction, but should adjourn
the case to give time for an application to the Lord
Chief Justice.

THE SALE 01, LIQUORS OS SUNDAE

---,..- -__

The select committee appointed to consiler the
provisions of Mr. J. A. Smith's bill met to day in
room B; Sir J. Ferguson in the chair.

The first witness examined was Sir R. Mayne,
the Chief Commissioner of Police. lie stated
that he thought drunkenness was on the decrease,
when the increase of population was taken into con-
sideration. Ile did not think that the altering the
hour of closing publichouses on Sunday from 11 to
10 would be any inconvenience to the humbler
classes. If such a provision were to come into force
the railway refreshment rooms would have to be
closed at the same hour, as their licence was pre-
cisely the same as that given the publican, and all
persons arriving in town by excursion trains after
that hour would be precluded from getting any
kind of refreshment.

The sittings of the committee will occupy some
days.

yuARKETS—(7'his Day)

TALLOW.

The
last three marmonths.ket is quiet at 44s GI spot, same June, 41s 9d
NEW GATE AND LEADENHALL.
MEAT.—The beef trade is decidedly bettor, and prime
qualities 2d to 4d per stune higher. Very prime seasonable
`tether mutton is scarce, and fetches rather more money ;
but the general demand is dull, and quotations for plain
qualities weaker. Veal and pork are in the same position,
very choice fully maintaining late rates, inferior selling
heavily and cheaply. Lamb, better sale, and 2d to 4d per
stone higher.
CORN.

Tho aspect of the trade is indicative of increased firm-
ness, and for future periods of delivery there are strong
buyers of wheat at Gd to is per qr. aC.vaneo on the rate
current last week, but there are not free sellers at the ad-

Vallee.
The returns from the country markets show a falling off
in the supplies, and foreign in the principal instances con-
tinue to move upwards.
Under these circumstances the tone at Mark-lane is
generally firm, although buyers still meet with some
amount of reserve.

English wheat in limited supply, and good dry samples
'ay as dear as on Monday.

Port ign wheat, of which arrivals are moderate, meets a
quiet sale at late rates.

For Polish Odessa wheat on passage, 73s paid.
Flour in moderate request at late rates for both English
and foreign.
Barley unaltered in value and in moderate request.
Beans and peas unaltered.
Oats move off steadily without variation from Monday's
rates.
Maize on the stand is dull. For future delivery firmer.
