The case is not expected to conclude until a late

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
• ' SEAM.; V. EiPINASSE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, for'
the recovery of 281. for, goods sold and delivered to
the wife of the defendant, an eminent special pleader.
• Mr. Sergeant TADDY opened. for the plaintiff; and
Mr. Sergeant ,AVILDE for the defendant.
The action was similar to several that have been
before brought against the same defendant, and the
defence on the present occasion was pretty similar
also to the defences set up in the others. The de-
fendant had taken a house at Twickenham, where he
.resided with his wife and three servants, and the
goods were supplied 1)y. the plaintiff, who carried, on
business in the hosiery and silk line, to the wife of
the defendant. The '.delivery of one article was
proved at the house, but the remainder had been
delivered to Mrs. Espinasse personally.
For the defence it was contended that the articles
were obtained without,the consent of the husband,
and were net necessaries—one item being thirteen
pair of silk stockings, at half-a-guinea a pair, and it
was proved that her wardrobe was well supplied by her
husband, and that she never wore any of the articles
finis obtained in the presence of her husband, or of
her servants.- _Under these circumstances Mr.
,Espinasse refused to pay the bill, and the present
nation was brought.
Mr. Justice BURROUGII charged the Jury, that as
the articles were not necessaries, and as they were
clearly obtained without the consent of the husband,
who had alldwed his wife all proper necessaries, he
could hardly be held liable ; but there was one
i4tEculty which it might not„ be very easy to get
over, which was, that the defendant had paid into
Court the sum of 101. which- he seemed to con-
;sider as necessaries: The Jury, however, Would ex-
ercise their judgment upon the whole case as it ap-
peared in evidence, and give their verdict accordingly.
After an-absence of two hours the JUry returned
into Court, and the foreman read as follows from a
paper After considerable difficulty we feel corn-
,pelled to find a. verdict fee: the .plaintiff, with da-
mageS to the amount of 181. 4s. Gd., besides the
104 paid into Court2'

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Feb. 19.

The imports of grain from Ireland and cOastways have
again been considerable since this day week, to which the
demand has been quite inadequate ; and although the
holders of all kinds of grain of the finest qualities have
been very steady, and little or no variation occurred in
the value nominally thereof, all other descriptions of every
article in the trade have been sold to a limited extent, at a
small further reduction here and in all our Country
Markets during the past week. In Bonded Grain and
Flour there has been nothing done—of. the latter article
there is hardly any sweet now remaining on sale here.—
At this day's Market there waa a very large display of
samples. of all kinds of Grain ; there was but a thin
attemLince, and sales to a very limited extent were made
of any article. The finer descriptions of Wheat were Id.,
and middling qualities 2d. per 701 b. lower. Oats were
also generally Id. per 451 b. lower, although the very finest
Limerick 4nd Sligo obtained prices last quotedl..- Malt
must be quoted at a reduction of 2s. a 3s. per quarter ;
in Other articles no decided alteration 'can be noted.

COMMISSION COURT, DUBLIN, FEB. 18

Bartholomew Uniacke was arraigned for having
feloniously assumed the name of George Hamilton,
with intent to obtain prize money from the Board of
Chelsea Hospital, and their agent in Dublin, Edward
Bourns, Esq.
The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner
Guilty ; and .the Court, after alluding in a very feel.
ing manner to the enormity of his offence, sentenced
him to transportation for life.
Elizabeth and Marcus Uniacke were then ar-
raigned for a conspiracy to defraud the Chelsea
Board of the sum of 331. Is. 4d. As the evidence,
in this case was nearly similar to the foregoing one,
it is unnecessary to enter into a recapitulation of it.
The prisoners were found Guilty, after a patient in-
vestigation, . and were each sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment, and to find security to, keep
the peace in two recogniznoPs of 1001.—Freeman's
Journal.

MAILS AND COACHES.---The London mail
due en Thursday, at 11 a. m., arrived at about two p. m.
The principal obstruction was between Annan and Dum-
fries, and the lee-way occurred in travelling that distance.
The returning guard left Dumfries with the bags on horse-
back at ten o'clock at night. On Friday, the same coach
was seven hours later, and came into town drawn by six
horses. On Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday, she arrived
a good deal earlier, and may now be said to be tolerably
regular. On Thursday the Galloway mail stuck fast at
Enrick, after losing a great deal of time in contending
with the snow between Glenluce and Newtonstewart.
From Enrick the guard rode on horseback, and reached
town at nine a. m. The same order of things obtained on
Friday. Since that day the coach has been regularly for-
warded though several hours beyond time. The Edinburgh
mail due on Thursday about half-past three, did not arrive
till about the same hour next day. In the course of
the evening, a guard on horseback brought the mail of Fri.
day. Since that time, the coach has been pretty regular,
and beyond the Crook the snow, we understand, is quite
iflingAt Edinburgh, there was scarcely any storm at
all. One of the guards told us last night, that there is
more danger in traversing the Dumfries townhead, than
occurs during the whole journey--a remark that may be
true, but whisk is not over complimentary. At present,
there are only two heavy coaches that run from this town
—one to Glasgow every lawful day, and another to Edin-
burgh three times a week. Neither of these have arrived
since Wednesday last. An attempt, however, was made to
send a coach to Glasgow, but it is doubtful whether it will
succeed.—Dumfries Courier.
