The scarcity of really prime Scots induced the salesmen
-tiibold for improved rates. Although we cannot quote any
actual advance in prices, they may be considered the turn
higher, yet the very highest figure realised for the abovb-
mentioned breed did not exceed 4s. per Blbs. The Mutton
Trade may be considered steady, but by no means animated,
at prices about equal to those obtained on Friday. A few
very superior old Downs, realising 4s 6d per Sibs. Veal at
about stationary prices. For Pigs late rates were wel-

for the prosecution ; Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Clarkson for
the
defendants. • It was an indictment against three perseag-
the names of Mottram, Williams, and Horsley warehouse' '
men in Cheapside, for having cheated the Crown of revenue
-duties'by managing, collusively with officers of the Cast°,..

to pass certain cases of French goods at a less duty than that
laid down by the tariff. One of the defendants, HorsleYl
absconded; Williams pleaded Guilty; and Mottram Pitt sn
the plea of Not guilty.

to prove much heavier delinquencies. The cross- exangtiy-
tion of one witness for the Crown, disclosed a systern_of JO;
gravity of the most disgusting character—but the drew;
