MARKET Nk.WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A fair average quantity of English NV heat-2,580 quar-
ters—has been received up to our market this week, coast-
wise. Fresh up to-day, by land carriage, the receipts were
stna'l. Owing, however, to the large supplies a foreign
wheat and flour offering the demand for all kinds of
wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and to have effected
large sales lower prices mnst have been accepted by the
factors. Upwards of 15,000 qrs of Foreign wheat have
come in. The want of buyers bas compelled the im-
porters to land a large portion in warehouse. All kinds
were dull in the extreme, and, in some instances, Is. per
quarter less money was paid for interior qualities.
The quantity of English Barley on show was small; but
that of Foreign was extensive. Malting parcels sold st
full prices; but grinding and distilling sorts ruled dull.
Malt, the supply of which was extensive, met a very in-
active demand, at barely stationary pricer. Rather a
large business was doing in Oats, at the late decline in
value. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour very dull,
and the turn cheaper.

SMITIErZEIJI.
Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with
Beasts, the time of year considered, both as to ,number
and quality. As the attendance of buyers was small,
the Beef trade ruled inactive, at prices barely equal to
those realised on Monday, and a clearance was with
difficulty effected. With Sheep we were scantily sup-
plied. All breeds moved off steadily, and late rates
were well supported. The primest old Downs, in the
wool, sold at from 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs. Lambs, the
number of which was but moderate, sold slowly, on
somewhat easier terms. From the Isle of Wight 200
head reached us. The Veal trade ruled heavy, at our
quotations. In Pigs next to nothing doing. • Milch
Cows sold at from 141 to 181 each, including their small
calf.

by deed, under the hands and seals of the
shareholders. The objections were that there
was no legitimate proof of registration; secondly, tb at
there was no sufficient proof that the defendant was a
shareholder at the time he executed the deed; and that
the (It ed, even in evidence, was not in compliance with
the Act of Parliament, because it did not contain the
clauses directed by the Act. In order to prove that, the
company was completely registered, the plaintiff pro-
duced in evidence a book from the Joint stock Compa-
nit s' Registration-office to show that there was an entry
of the registratieu of the company. He (Mr. Green.
wood) now, and at the trial, contended that the only
proof of registration would be by the production of the
certificate of registration, which was not forthcoming.
Lord CAMPBELL—Take a rule to show cause.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Barons I'ARK.E,
ROLFE, and PLATT

BERNEY V. SUNDERAND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Mr. KNOWLES applied in this case, which was tried at
Durham before Mr. 13aron Rolle, and in which a ver-
dict was given for the plaintiff, for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be sat aside and a new trial
granted, or why judgment should not be arrested, on
the ground that the verdict was against the crideace.
The action was brought to recover 300/., the amount of
a policy of insurance effected upon the cargo of a vessel
called the Mary, which was appointed to sail from Alex-
andria to this country, but winch, on its voyage thither,
was overtaken by a storm and totally lost. The princi-
ral plea was that the policy bad been obtained by false-
hood and misrepresentation; and it was shown at the trial
that the plaintiff represented to the underwriter,
on taking out the insurance, that he did not
know when the nisei was about sail, while
in reality he had received information that it
was to leave Alexandria on a certain day then past.
The plaintiff alleged that it was immaterial to mention
the day of sailing, and that if there had been no wilful
concealment of any circumstance the policy could not be
vitiated. Mr. Knowles contended at the trial, and also
now, in support of his present application, that if the de-
fendant, at the time he effected the policy, gave incorrect
answers to the questions which were put to him, he had
been guilty of misrepresentation, and a ould not therefore
be entitled to recover against the company. He also
argued that the omission to state the day of sailing had
kept back from the knowledge of,the defendants a cir-
cumstance which might have materially affected their
opinion respecting the safety of the cargo, owing to the
winds which prevailed at certain periods.
The COURT granted a rule.
CHAMBERS V. PONES.
In this case, which was tried at the lest assizes for
Flintshire before Mr. Justice Cresswell, and in which
the plaintiff was non-suited,
Mr. TOWNSEND moved, in pursuance of leave reserved
by the Learned Judge, for a rule to show cause why a
verdict should be entered for the plaintiff. The action
was in assumpsit to recover the amount of an attorney's
bill for legal proceedings, taken at the instance of 'the
churchwardens of a parish in Flintshire, to obtain the
removal of a pauper. The overseers, who gave instruc-
tions to the plaintiff to prosecute these proceedings, had
since retired from office, and their successors denied
being liable for the expenses which they had incurred.
The Learned Counsel contended that, by the 11th and
12th Viet., c. 91, the duty was incumbent upon the
overseers to pay the debts contracted by their prede-
cessors, and said it would be extremely hard if parties
were compellei to look for payment to overseers who
had retired from office, and who might have left the
parish or have become insolvent, and been rendered un-
able to pay.
The COURT refused to grant a rule, being of opinion
that the overseers who bad made the contract were per-
sonally liable, and that their liability could not be
transferred to their successors.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A BEGGING IMPOSTOR.—John Lofts, a tall, cadave-
rous-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with attempting to excite the generosity of the
charitable by shamming a fit.
Police-constable $4 C stated that on the previous
evening ho was on duty in Duke-street, St. James's,
when as gentleman came up to him and gave him a
shilling, with directions to take it to a poor man who
was sitting in a door-way in the street. He immediately
went to the spot, and there saw the prisoner lying on
his back, apparently in a fit, surrounded by a mob of
more than fifty persons, some of whom, out of
compassion to the prisoner, gave him money.
At that time the prisoner was foaming at the
mouth, and witness believing him to be really ill, pro-
cured assistance and conveyed him to the station. On
the way there witness met Pclice-constable A 46, who,
on seeing the prisoner, recognised him as a notorious
impostor, and stated that he had had him in custody
more than twenty times for shamming fits, and that to
cause the foaming at the mouth, he always had a piece
of soap to place therein: On arriving at the station the
prisoner fell down again as if dead, but on Inspector
Whale-directing a pail of water to be applied, he speedily
recovered. _ .

The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was com-
mitted to the House of Correction for ono month, with
hard labour.
