BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. JusticeCOLERIDGE.)
THE. QUEEN AND THE CORPORATION OF LONDON.
Mr. HILL applied to the Court for a rule to show cau,e why
11 mandamus should not issue, calling upon the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen of the City of London, to admit Mr. W. H.
Ashurst, an attorney of this Court, an attorney of the Lord
'}layor's Court. The application was made under the statute
6 and 7 Victoria, which enacts, that an attorney of a higher
court may be admitted an attorney of an inferior court. Mr.
Ashurst had made his application according to the form pre-
scribed, and had also produced the documents required by
the Act, but the Recorder had so much doubt upon the sub-
ject that he advised an application to this Court for a man-
granted.

1301V-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A respectable-looking man, named Gardner, the money-
taker at the Strand Theatre, was placed before Mr. Jardine,
charged with assaulting William Stubbing, at the theatre,
last night.
The complainant stated that he went to the pit of the
theatre last night with his wife. He put down half-a-crown
to pay for admission at half-price ; and when he got into the
pit with his wife, he suddenly remembered that he had not
received the sixpence change. He went back to the de-
f adant, and told him of the circumstance, and the defendant
SA id ho had given the sixpence, and if somebody else had
taken it up, he could not help it. The complainant became
rather excited, and told the defendant that if he did not give
him the sixpence, he would be acting as a swindler. .I.lpon
this the defendant struck the witness a violent blow in the
month, and he was, in consequence, given into custody.
The defendant said the complainant was very insolent and
offensive in his behaviour. When the complainant came to
him ho examined his cash, and found that it was correct ;
and he therefore told the complainant that he should nut
give him the sixpence back. Upon this the complainant
called him a swindler And a vagabond.
Mr. JARDINg stritrthis was not sufficient to justify a blow.
As, however, there was some provocation, he would only in-
flict_ a penalty of 10s.—The money was immediately paid.

eut some letters upon one of he seats there.
The park-keeper stated that seeing the defendant rising
from the seat be went there, and found that it had been in-
jured. He therefore took him into custody.
The defendant had nothing to say in extenuation.
Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, suggested that the defendant,
being•an artist, might wish to leave upon record a specimen
Of wood engraving.
Mr, LoNra did not wish to repress genius, but public pro-
perty wed be protected.—Fined 10s.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.!

Since Monday only a moderate arrival of English Wheat
has taken place for: our market, and the stands were by no
means heavily supplied. In most descriptions of the article
a fair retail business was transacted, at full prices. Free
foreign Wheat was in better demand, at rates quite equal to
those quoted in our last report. In bonded Grain no transac-
tions were noticed. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Barley
have arrived this week ; yet, the greater portion having gone
direct to the distillers, the quantity on offer this morning was
by no means large, and prices were supported. In Malt but
little was doing. Owing to the prevailing dry weather,
'holders of Oats, Beans,. and Peas, were firm for high figures.
