31IDDLYSIX GRAND JURY.

The Grand Jury having this day finished their labours,
an entering the Court, their chairman handed in a presen-
timent, stating the inconvenience they bad been subjected
to by having no other, plaCe to assemble in to perform their
important duties, but , a public paved passage. During
last Trinity term, similar complaint was made, but no
steps bad been taken to provide for them any better am-
=dation, which at this season of the year, was peculiarly
requisite.
Mr. Jusmicx I3AYLEY said, he was. sorry to say that
this Coint bad no means of ordering any alteration ;. nor
had it any funds at its disposal which could be applied to-
wards affording them the accommodation they were so
justly entitled to • but the Court would immediately do
that which it ought 7 to do, namely, make an :application
to the Secretary of State .for the Home Department, and
on the circumstances being so represented, there was every
reason to expect that an order would be given to remedy
the inconvenience.

• NOPP: Y. THE VOIIN-EXCHAVOIP COMPANY.
This was a case of a similar nature, but Mr. Bora-AND described
it as one of the most extraordinary that could occur. The plain-
tiff demanded no less thanl,2oo/. ter a corner, measuring 16 feet
by 6 feet, the use of which was restricted to three days in the
week, and during the hours the corn-market was open. Compen-
sation too had been already granted to the owner of this house in
which this corner was, to dot amount of 2,000/. Another person
had likewise a subordinate interest, for which he received a com-
pensation, The plaintiff had al5 years lease, 12 of which hail
expired, at 31/. 10m. a year, Ilia affairs had fallen into ruin, and
although he had been in the corn business, he now paid no atten.
tion to it, and he actually had paid the rent of last yrnt fur nn-
thing, notwithstanding which lio called upon the company, whom
he ought to thank for taking the corner oil his hands, for 1,2001.
Mr. Swinton', secretary to the company, deposed that he had
offered SO guineas and a stand in the market as compensation, '
Mr. Treclock, a corn-dealer, and in the market 20 years,
stated, that Mr. Hope's corner 'WAS extravagantly charged et
M. 10s. a year.
Wider had been clerk to Mr. Hope two years and a half,
up to November, 1625. Mr. Hope's misfortunes in trade arose
from the failure of a baulnw, and a person in the country with
whom he had had large dealings.'
Cross-examieed.--Mr. Hope compromised with and paid all
his creditors except the one who had appeared that day.
Mr. Roo,Arin.---llid he pay'this gentleman ? (pointing to a
person near him.)
Witness said that he was willing to answer that question if
the gentleman chore. ' (The person alluded; to nodded affirma-.
tively.) That creditor had been more than compromised with at
the six shillings in the ponnd, by reeeiying a valuable horse front
Mr. Ilope.-,-(A laugh.)
Mr. Ilmmkan.---Pray in What sort of a dwelling dues Mr.
Hope live?
Witness-Ally in a !Muse that you May call a small ezistli.
(Laughter.)---He has 'not done any thing in the corn business
for the last year.

The Ilscoanza, in summing up, asked what war Mr. /lope's
probable loss, It was clear that he had paid 311. Me. last year
for nothing,, ar nothing had been done in the premises. The
Jury returned a verdiet for the plaintiff of 300/. • .
