LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 26.

TuE KING V. TURNER.• •
This was .a cast of considerable importance to
a certain class of individuals. The defendant was
an auctioneer, and had been convicted in the pe-
nalty of 20/. by the Magistrates at Session, under
the Act of the 50th of the late King, commonly
called the Hawkers and Pedlars' Act, for having
sold goods with which he travelled from place to
place, not having a hawker's licence.
An application was now made to the Court to
set this conviction aside, on the grounds that the
Defendant was not a trader within the meaning-
of the Hawkers and Pedlars' Act, inasmuch as he
was an agent only, selling for others; and further
that he was not, as the Hawkers and Pedlers'
Act stated, a person travelling with goods for
sale with horse and cart from town to town. The
Defendant was a member of a higher class of
persons. He certainly travelled and sold at dif-
ferent places, but he always travelled by the mail.
The Court, however, held that it was possible
for an auctioneer to descend from his pulpit, put
off his dignity, and bring himself to a level with
a pedlar. The defendant had, in fact, done so in
the present case, and was liable to the penalty.
The conviction of the Magistrates was therefore
affirmed by their Lordships.

I'Attmontif,.May-24.—Our supply of Wheat on- Saturday
was rather short for the season, and the demand being brisk,
caused au adVance of cos on.the best runs, and about is on

of the large supply at the first of the morning; afterwards.
'rather more money was given—on the whole there was little
or no alteration trout last week ; in other Grain note no klte-

LIV.RPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, May 22.—The fresh supply
of grain to-day was very small, but there was plenty
hoc) former arrivals, and as we had not inany buyers, the
trifling business done in Wheat was at last
.weeit's prices..
Barley met a still sale at our last quotations. Prime Malt
was ad per bushel dearer. The inquiries for Oats were ex-
tremely limited, but we cannot alter 'our currency. Other
articles nearly without inquiry, at late prics. Flour ad
