ELECTION OF A NEW SHERIFF FOR
LONDON AND MIDDLESEX.
(In consequence of the sudden death of C. Stable, Esq.)

This day a Court will be held in order to appoint
a successor to the defunct Sheriff, and there exists
great difference of opinion as to whether the person
should be one on the present rotary nomination, or
one chosen from other citizens, who may be added
to the list. It has bey rather an unfrequent case
for a Sheriff of London and Middlesex to die during
his shrievalty; the only instance, we believe, since
1748 is, that in the year 1800, when Mr. Champion,
the vinegar-merchant, died during the time he filled
that important office.
The grant of the shrievalty of London and Middle-
sex was made in the reign of Henry 1., and after-
wards confirmed by King John, upon the payment
of 3001. per annum, at the Easter and Michaelmas
Exchequer.
Vide bnpey's Practice of the Office of Sheriff pp. 19.
" When one of the Sheriffs of London dies, the
other cannot act, because he then is no sheriff, and
must wait until another is chosen; for there must be
two Sheriffs of London, which is both a city and a
county. But one Sheriff of Middlesex, which is only
a county."—Skow Reports, 289. Ibid. page 28.

N. 13.-London had no Sheriff in the 13th offilifwarti I.

" London is a county of itself (4th Inst. 248),
and so long as this city have been a county of itself,
so long have there been Sheriffs. There cannot be a
county without Sheriffs. Sheriffs in London are as
two in London, but in Middlesex there is but one."

HULL MARKET.-April 15.

This day's market has met with a middling supply of
wheat; at the commencement, the farmers held out for
Is. to ;2s. per quarter advance on the currency of last
week : this was not, however, complied with, and the
market closed at the prices last noted. Middling and secon-
dary qualities not free sale, No alteration in foreign.
Oats are held with more firmness ; some few sales have
bees made during the week at rather improving prices.
Beans are more enquired after, and sell freely. Peas con-
tinue dull. We have very little Barley offering, but the
little shewn commanded last week's rates. Rapeseed rather
gives way in price, and in trifling demand. Linseed dull
sale.

CATTLE MAHKIET,—The show to-day amounted to 407
head of cattle, viz. 314 three-years-olds and upwards; 45
two-years-olds ; 27 highlanders ; 11 queys, and 10 cows.
The drove cattle were principally Galloways ; and on the
whole, were a very superior show; dealing began rather
earlier than usual, and all the best lots ,yere sold; we did
not ascertain prices, but we believe they were more satis-
factory than they have been for some weeks past. The de-
mand for cows was rather limited, and few sales took place,
prices rated froth 81. to M.
Our Pork Market is now entirely over.

LIVE PIGS.-15 carts—the demand was brisk, and we
understand the whole was sold off ; prices rated from 11s.
to 21s.
